Discussion on Somalia and Regional Conflicts

Since we have Dr. Yusuf back, let me ask you, Dr.

Yusuf, whether Mogadishu— I had asked you, of course, whether Mogadishu... ...

is just observing, standing in the position of an

observer of what is happening... ... in Somaliland, or does it have a vision to put

the brakes on this matter... ... so that it does not escalate and

become difficult to deal with later... ... with, I mean, with Somaliland, or... ...

with Somaliland, considering that any Israeli military activity there... ...

might bring more regional conflicts,

might internationalize the issue, and might also strengthen... ... Somaliland,

making it a severe threat to the central government in Mogadishu?

Honestly, we do not worry about this, we... We, I mean,

in 1993, America came... ...

with 32 countries when we didn't even have a state,

and we taught them a lesson. Now... Now we are a state, and if Israel comes

with ships and mercenaries... ...

Israeli and Ethiopian, to our land,

even if you do not stand with us...

Doctor, Israel is already fully present there,

it is present and won't come with ships or missiles... ... from Somalia, of course,

it's impossible, impossible. Why is it impossible? I mean, why is it impossible?

Because Somalia is like the Arabs, We are, I mean, tribes, and as I told you,

only the Isaaq tribe, which is, I mean, 24% in Somaliland, is the one that

supports it, And four other tribes, they are against, against...

against secession, and all of them are... defending their country. I mean, it is

not all of Somalia. Go ahead, please. But they control

the country, especially if they now receive Israeli support.

Imagine me in my prime. I would have

destroyed you.
