Respectfully my comment is not about current or fmr govt incl. my time as Minister. Its about sovereignty & status of Somalia post-1991. To attain full sovereignty, govt authority must extend across the country, our people must accept it as legitimately serving our nat'l interest

I have a great deal of respect for Min. Awad, but this is an unfortunate statement by the Former Foreign Minister. He can disagree with current political happenings but to question the integrity/sovereignty of the state is mudslinging & distasteful at best. 🤷🏽‍♀️

With already weak state Institutions and the absence of proper check and balances, Somalia is drifting towards authoritarianism and concentration of powers in one person at Federal and State levels by the last decision of the NCC. It is dangerous and it is anti-democratic.

If this letter is authentic, it is a shameful act and an embarrassment. It is an abuse of power, affront to law and order and violation of the Puntland people's freedom of expression. No govt or court should have such abusive power. The court must rescind this order immediately.

@MohamoudGaildon @HassanSMohamud @HamzaAbdiBarre @HESaidADeni M. Gaildon is a good friend. I hope he allows me to disagree with him on this one. The clashes in Bosaso referred to are initiated by Deni following Mohamud Diyano’s defiance of Deni’s directive to replace him. Pres. Deni could have handled it differently like his predecessors.

@SufiAweys My point was: Sovereignty of a nation ultimately lies with its people and the legitimacy of a state is derived from their consent, support and unity. Killing one's own people in the pursuit of power can actually weaken a government's legitimacy and undermine its sovereignty.

My take is “state monopoly of force” is used judicially and to protect human life not to endanger it. Violence initiated by the state leads to culdesac and disaster.
