#Thread per reliable source at FM in Somalia told me that China Amb to Somalia @FeiShengchao is the most corrupt in Somalia; he bribes media with an average of $5k per interview to amplify the "one-china policy" - he provided guidance to former Somalia FM to draft this letter.
He has given $350k and $80k gift watch to former minister of information @OsmanDubbe to remodel the ministry- Dubbe was questioned at Heathrow airport to provide receipt of the gift- this ambassador earned a nickname called " MrHow Much you want"
At Benadir region admin - he is alleged to have given mayor @OFilish close to half million $ to rehabilitate some districts and new buildings- this is not the first time Chinese amb to Somalia provide financial stance to regions or government institution, but it us to be public.
the china ambassador to Somalia FEI Shengchao 费胜潮 @FeiShengchao aka #MrHowMuchYouWant is committing not only bribery but violating anti-money laundering laws in Somalia for not reporting these alleged illicit financial activities to @CBSsomalia and minister of finance.
He pressures Somali diplomats based in China & the minister of foreign affairs in Somalia to push a one-china policy by issuing statements/ interviews to create a diplomatic and hostility wedge between Somalia and Somaliland at the expense of Taiwan
China's ambassador to Somalia is doing all this to distract the Somalia gov from Chinese illegal fishing since the @M_Farmaajo gov legalized their illegal fishing which has expired costing Somalia to lose $B of revenue.
The irony to this is that the U.S gov provided almost $1B of humanitarian & developmental Aid to #Somalia from 2016-18 vs. China's $13M, yet China was awarded a fishing license worth avg. $30k/license equivalent to $0.076/kg, while average fish is sold at $1/kg in #Mogadishu
Based on Somalia Fisheries Public Observation org @somalia_SFPO who monitored China gov fishing license in Somalia pre-post legalization of illegal fishing satellite images reveal the extent of Chinese illegal fishing exploitation in Somalia.
.
Somalia's gov should hold the current Chinese amb and his gov accountable for interference and illegal fishing activities- Somalia's government should seek commercial relations with Taiwan and Somaliland to promote democracy and sustainable peace development. The End.

#Thread misinformation about Ethiopia Wheat production self sufficiency. Imagine plagiarizing misinformation to seek attention. First of all last time Ethiopia came close close to meet its wheat demand was 2015 let alone export wheat & 2022 wheat production increase is only 3.26%
Beside #Tigray blockade & other region conflicts that has impacted Ethiopia overall agriculture productivity- Ethiopia can't escape from self suffocating #Abiyeconomics such ugh inflation, currency devaluation & foreign currency shortage reduced importation of fuel & fertilizers.
Ethiopia lacks basic modern agriculture technology to improve its wheat production to meet its wheat demand I.e. Egypt which has less cultivate area and facing constant water shortage, it's wheat yield & production is 3 times of Ethiopia which has more land & water.
#Thread Update on Jawiil community hospital- finally I connected with Dr Ibrahim who manages the hospital, he told me that; 1- the hospital has no running water 2- and due to high fuel cost the entire town utility reduced electricity services from 10hrs to 3hr per day
3- forcing the hospital only operate during day with minimum services sending back majority of patients. 4- Dr Ibrahim some nights use torch for emergency cars at night since their is no light.
Based on our assessment we agreed to provide him a deisel generator to continue..
the operation while @PowerOffGrid will install 3kw to 6kw solar system and 2kw solar pump after a well is constructed. This will take 3-4wks, in mean time, we will provide free deisel generator & fuel to save lives before we fully convert the hospital to renewable energy.
@AlMonitor latest piece discusses Egypt's relationship with Somalia "Madbouly invited Mohamud to visit Egypt. He indicated that Sisi had issued directives to provide all possible support and assistance to Somalia" writes @MohamedSaiedF al-monitor.com/originals/2022…
Though El-Sisi is promising to assist Somalia in security and development sectors which are much needed, but Egypt's cautionary approach to Somalia's newly elected gov who has yet to congratulate @HassanSMohamud in comparison to when @M_Farmaajo was elected in 2017 seems bizarre.
@HassanSMohamud has visited Egypt 3 times, & on every visit, El-Sisi promised to assist Somalia's development sector but hasn't fulfilled then: thus, it's incumbent for El-Sisi to break the ice and visit Mogadishu to win the hearts and minds of the people of Somali as Turkey did.
#Thread Exposing @M_Farmaajo final coup attempt
According to senior sources inside Somalia's national Forces and military intelegegnce, Farmaajo is plotting his final and 3rd coup attempt is to derail the (s)election process into 2 phases before April 14th.
Phase-1 is to plot a Godfather-like elimination on April 12, 2022. The plan is to use Gen Bihi (Marehan) of SNA, & the special militia (made up of 3k Marehan, Dhulbahnate,& Warsangeli) to use the Somali National Army Day of 12 April as a cover to carry out a coup & assassinations
The plan is to use $3M that is currently pending approval at the @MoF_Somalia Ministry of Finance for Farmaajo to finance his latest coup attempt and political violence aimed at his political opponents.
#Thread my take on China quoted in @YahooFinance "China's geoeconomic interests in the country are mainly in extractive industries such as mining, oil, and fishing, with the latter subject to claims - denied by its embassy in Somalia" 🙄@ChineseSomalia finance.yahoo.com/news/china-uni…
I will pretend to be shocked now reading the Chinese embassy in Somalia and Amb @FeiShengchao responding to my quote in this article, despite mounting evidence documented in details by @PuntlandPirates
GREAT News: @icao who met today with Somalia aviation minister @duranfarah and his director @Amoallinh who almost auction Somalia airspace was given 3rd chance to meet airspace safety requirements and implementation of transition plan until late April of 2022.
The Minster and the director failed to install the $40M equipment provided by @IATA to implement safety requirements for G Class; In 2020 @IATA published a report showing the number and type of accidents in Somalia airports. Know that @Amoallinh is STRAIGHT-OUTTA-BELEDWAYNE
Also in 2020, Air Djibouti Airline @theredseairline suffered landing gear collapse mainly due to minister Durhan and the Director of aviation failing to sanction Favori LLC for failing its contractual obligation despite illegal collecting landing fees and accounted fees.
