MOGADISH – Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiki has issued a strong statement to the representative of Somali’s African Union Transition Mission (ATMIS). Sivuyile Thandikhaya Bam accused him of sympathy for the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.
Minister Fiqi argued that South African diplomats (who also serve as representatives and special representatives of the African Union in Somalia) submitted misleading and misleading reports to international groups, including the UN Security Council, portraying Al-Shabaab as a provincial and a group that reduces harm to civilians, and that he had reduced the blatant distorthis distortion discortion.
“For a long time there have been whispers about his prejudice, but now it’s clear. He can no longer hide it,” Minister Fiki said. “He has shown himself to be an advocate of Al-Shabaab and an enemy of Somali’s progress.”
The Minister expressed deep concern over the suspected activities of BAM, claiming that such actions undermined the Somali government’s efforts to combat terrorism and achieve national stability.
Sources close to Somali’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that the federal government is considering banishing Ambassador Bam from the country for what it describes as violating and integrating its trust with its forces opposing Somali’s development.
The move shows a major escalation of tensions between Somalia and the African Union over the mission and direction of the ATMIS mission. This was launched to help with the security migration of the previous Amisom Peacekeeping Operation and Somalia.
The government has yet to make a formal decision, but insiders suggest that the expulsion process is actively planned.
