A minister from
the Somalian government, who has already ended the four year term, had insulte
arab nation and especially the United Arab Emirates when he had targeted
nations who are against the extension of the term of the Mohamed Abdullahi
Farmaajo, who completed his term on February 7 this year.
A Sheik
representing the tribe of Emiratis in Somalia, who is also incharge of handling
emirati affairs in the country--Haber Gaalu--said that he will be apologising
on behalf of the Somali Information, Culture and Tourism Minister Osman Dubbe
for his remarks.
The minister is a
part of the Farmaajo rule and is working in line with those who are forcefully
in power even after their respective terms have ended. Farmaajo has been
ignoring the election demands and has put the future of the Somali people in
jeopardy and hence a lot of international communities are asking for Farmaajo
to leave and let the election process be in place.
Gaalu said that
being the head of the tribe, he would like to extend an apology to all the
people who have been offended by Dubbe’s recet remarks. Somalian minister had
earlier said that he stood by the decision of the Farmaajo government and the
stance to not exit from power. Gaalu also added that it is possible that
Dubbe’s remarks might have offended countries like Djibouti, Kenya and even the
UAE.
He further said,
“They have historical ties, and I especially mention the UAE, which has never
stopped supporting the Somalis.” He also added that the Somali minister is
unaware of the extent of harm his statement made especially to the relations of
the neighbouring countries.
It was because of
his greed to secure his position in the government, he went on to continuously
hurt the sentiments of not only other countries but also his own people, the
head of the tribe added while issuing an apology. “Finally, I advise this
disobedient son to return to his senses, to withdraw from these stances, and to
ask for forgiveness from Somaliland and return to it, to distance himself from
imminent dangers emerging because of these situations.” he concluded.
Earlier this
month, Farmaajo had completed his dictatorial term of four years but continuing
his violent methodologies, the leader is adamant on not leaving the position
and keeps ruling the country. Somali parliament on the other hand ruled out the
possibility of extending the rule for another term.
This is
especially bothersome for the Somali
people because they have been seeking a way out of the rule of Farmaajo
who is known to have imposed strict regulations on freedom of speech and
expression and made tough calls for media functioning in the country.
With this, it is possible that the country that is
going through a political crisis may also suffer with security issues as there
is no leadership currently managing the situations in Somalia.
