Somalia: The International Crisis Group between fact-finding and receiving reports from certain parties

 

The International Crisis Group issued a report that seems incomplete and unfamiliar with the facts on the ground, or rather politicized or inconsistent with the standards of international reports that should investigate the facts, and what matters and do not take reports from one of the parties of the conflict in Somalia

The report, which talks about the tension and disagreement that raged in the past weeks, between Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Robley and the Somali President, His Excellency Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed "Farmago", accuses a certain party of creating tension between the two sides without a real study of the facts of matters and the role of external parties to change the equation and the pressure that It is practiced by well-known countries to remove a party from the political arena and interfere in the internal Somali affairs using money

The report, which is unfair and incomplete, cited the case of the murder of intelligence officer Ikram Tahlil as an example, and it seems that the parties that prepared the report obtained information saying that officer Ikram Tahlil was about to publish information about the Somali forces - who were sent by the federal government for training in Eritrea. The report contradicts itself as this news is allegations, and asserts that there is no concrete evidence, that the forces were deployed on the front lines in Ethiopia's war in Tigray.

The report considers that this issue has become a hot political issue targeting the Farmajo administration. Although the Somali forces have trained abroad, and the report states that the recruitment in Eritrea’s training was covered by secrecy, in a manner that does not take into account the security missions and the surrounding special protocols.

The report states that the Somali factions are playing with fire and calls on international partners to publicly name the spoilers, threaten sanctions if they do not change course, and prepare targeted measures against those who continue destabilizing behavior, forgetting that there are indeed Somali figures known for their corruption and looting of people's money in the past years who oppose the desire of the majority to Somalia, and these figures receive financial and logistical support from well-known foreign countries for the group, who violate diplomatic norms and international laws, support the opposition and leaders of some states and influence their positions. Or Libya, and these countries interfere in the Somali scene by influencing these personalities, and this is what the Somali people are fed up with.

The African Union Commission previously expressed, in a strongly worded statement, its concern about the increasing external interference by "non-African parties" in the internal affairs of Somalia.

The then Chairperson of the Commission, Musa Faki, indicated in a statement that this intervention threatens to disrupt peace-building efforts and the state-building process currently underway in Somalia, and threatens the gains made so far in the country.

But the unfair and incomplete Report of the International Crisis Group seems superficial, does not adhere to international standards of fact-finding, and presents political events, it did not address the great support and confidence that the federal government possesses from the people to move forward in the process of holding the elections and the necessary reforms.
