After deputy speaker confronts finance minister, he admits:
- Financial statements ( Xisaab Xir) pertaining to the money budgeted to the Federal Gov was not returned to the federal Parliament to show use of the money for its intended purpose in 2018,19 & 20. #N&N corruption
This runs counter to the claim of Farmaajo supporters that they are not corrupt. They refused to submit financial statements to the federal parliament for accountability purposes. Instead Pro-Farmajo speaker signed documents representing the parliament.#Somalia
It is surprising that #Farmaajo supporters could not even trust parliament that generally supported them to review how money was used
- Among the entities that have refused to return statements indicating how allocated money was used included the presidential palace.
This shows the financial statements returned to the federal parliament and approved after the reports were checked by the finance sub-committee and the general members of the people’s house. This was not done in 2018,19 and 20.
Dr. Bayle, #Somalia’s Finance minister reported to the parliament yesterday that he submitted fiscal statements to the chair of the people’s house who failed to submit the reports to the house for review & approval. Will the current house or government go after former speaker
For those of you who speak in Somali, this is the last financial statement reviewed and approved by People’s house of Somalia in 2017.
I attach the bylaws of the people’s house requiring the tabling of the financial statements, xisaab xir, for review and approval. This is one of the bylaws former chair of the people’s house failed to comply with and they may be prosecuted for doing so. gsh.parliament.gov.so/index.php/faaf…

Much thanks to @PuntlandPirates work, notes & reflections
- Iranian Gillnetters (indiscriminate way of capturing marine animals-illegal) licensed by officials-Evidence
- Forced labor
- NEFCO tried to sell #Somalia fish privately, facilitates IUU fishing globalinitiative.net/wp-content/upl…
Global Fishing Watch & #Somalia Gov both reported more than 100 Iranian vessels in Somali waters in 2019-2020
#Puntland issued, lacks legal powers, 52 licenses in less than 60 days to trawlers, illegal in Puntland & Somalia, per doc obtained by @GI-TOC $10k-15k each license
Assuming continuity of the licence fees per year, #Puntland would get $3M-$5M per year.
This money is collected by agents, there are few of them, 5.
One of them is Saddam Ismail, an agent for 8/52 vessels.
He is linked to arms smuggling: delivering arms & picking up fish
Sahan co-founded by Bryden, was third-party monitor of donor funded police.
Flagging police brutality led to de-funding Baidoa Police.
Fahad constructed parallel security under Farmajo command: Haramcad ( Police) & Gorgor ( army) 7k recruits to Eritrea ( Duufaan from this)
My comment:
It appears #Ethiopia government, consistent with tripartite agreement, to establish centralized powers in Horn, helped arrest Robow in Baidoa & attempted to arrest Madoobe in Kismayo, the latter failed, risking confrontation between #Kenya & Ethiopia in #Somalia
Commentator on drones reported: drones imported by Somali MP bear strong resemblance, judging from the pictures, to this: the Mugin 3600VTOL (3600mm wing diameter).
Googling this model reveals this: You can put a heavier equipment on the plane now. @AAbdishakur@HarunMaruf
The protest in Addis to support regime that is blockading its own people, refusing cash, food & medicine to Tigray ( US & UN confirmed this claim of blockade) will have an appreciable effect only in supporting Abiy in some areas of #Ethiopia. #Thread reuters.com/world/africa/r…
The protest shows that Abiy has some support among some segments of Ethiopian population, such as Amhara. The protest, however, will not defend Abiy Admin against forces fighting for self-determination & refusing to bow to centralized dictatorship. ENDF lost the war to TPLF/TDF
The same thing happened in Somali region in 1977, when Somalis defeated ENDF to allow Somalis to exercise the right to self-determination. #Ethiopia was able to regain #Somalia west/“ eastern Ethiopia” with help of Russian & Cuban forces. There are no Russian & Cuban forces now
Sambalooshe, former spy agency, NISA,
director speaking to VOA:
- I hired Ikran Farah in April, 2017 as an agent in my office; later I appointed her to Human rights and Gender of NISA.
- former Deputy NISA, Guled, also confirms Ikran being NISA agent, voasomali.com/a/5966833.html
- Speaking to VOA Somali, former NISA deputy, Abdisalam Guled, supports that Ikran Farah was picked up from green zone, suggesting government involvement. The area refered to is between Global Hotel & KM O, NISA HQ in Shibis, northern #Mogadishu, or Ex- Mama khadijo Ali Mahdi HQ
A curios question is: was Ikran Farah working for NISA since 2017, or did she leave the agency while she was the director of the Mayor of #Mogadishu’ office & then returned to it, or did she remain as NISA agent while she was the director of the mayor’s office, prior to his death
- The father who is in Afgoye, outside #Mogadishu, said my son called me from Makelle, and told me that he wants to come back home. I sent him money. He was brought to Samera, Afar, then Jijiga, Hargaisa, Garowe.
It is true: he was among soldiers presented by #Puntland.
The father also reported that his son told him while in Tigray: he finished training 19 months ago
- In a curios note, the father reported that people who killed his son were people he learned recently: they were not his friends. He was stabbed to death. #Somalia
