A Twitter space hosted last night by @M_Farmaajo trolls in Kenya illustrated the deep-rooted bot and propaganda syndicate in HoA, especially the ones claiming to be the academics and elites of the region. @ahmednasirlaw, whose daughter works at @TheVillaSomalia joins the campaign

With no discernible points to score and lack of knowledge on the political dynamics of Somalia, they now tend to direct smear campaigns against foreign diplomats in Somalia particularly the key partners, @UKinSomalia, @US2SOMALIA, and @EU_in_Somalia.

As can be seen below, @ahmednasirlaw is vehemently engaging with one of the anit-western troll accounts. It's enough evidence that Ahmed shares views with these fake accounts, sentiments which could flare armed insurgency in both neighboring countries, #Kenya and #Somalia.

Among those faces is @AbdiwahabSheik7 who was recently arrested by #Kenya authorities after accusing Ikram Tahlil, late cybersecurity head of @HSNQ_NISA of being a spy for UK.
