The Current Gulf Crisis, Will Undermine The Somali Interest?

It is unbelievable Saudi Arabia to pressure several African Countries to be with the Kingdom or will face a serious consequence and this kind of threatening or influence will undermine the diplomatic relations between the kingdom and the other Nations who decided not to be one side over another or not prejudge for the crisis and also every Country has the right to be a partial position because of their common interests.

As I see from the Kingdom’s influence the crisis will go far than expected, because the Kingdom wants to be the LION of the Gulf States without compromise of their common interest and that kind of attitude reminds me when George W. Bush said to the Gulf States in Iraq war “either with me or the Highway”.

I believe that Trump’s accusation against QATAR is baseless, when he said that “Qatar is the funder and the founder of Terrorism” and on top of that America has signed with QATAR an agreement to purchase F-15 jets with cost of 12 billion dollars. And this is very clear That America is the one who behind the conflict and fueling the crisis.

Let’s ask ourselves, why Muslim Nations don’t understand the double standard of America? And why Muslim Nations did not take initiative role to mediate the Crisis?, because I believe that Muslim Nations have the Ability and the Knowledge to Mediate the Conflict and this kind of weakness show that Muslim Nations are Naive and undermining their power.

However, in my conclusion, for the sake of the HOLY month, I urge to the KINDOM to ease the tension and to give a room for the peace process, because the conflict between the two Nations will never result any progress and the Enemies of SLAM will celebrate and it’s victory for them, because the power of the two Nations will be weaken Militarily and Financially.

I urge to the Somali Government to stay it’s position and will never be influenced the pressure of the Both sides, Riyadh and Doha are our two hands the Right and the left and Somalia will never accept to be a part of the distraction of our BROTHERS.

I know it’s very difficult and stressful to take a decision like this, but we have to analysis how it is very serious about the situation and also we are independent Nation have the right to make its own judgments and decisions and will never allow to dictate or control other Nations to our foreign Affairs decision.

I am sorry to say, but I have to, the weakness of Arab league is causing to go far this Conflict than expected, and it is very shameful to Muslim Nations not to have the ability to solve their own differences.

The end, I appeal to the KINDOM to understand its role as a Muslim LEADER and the importance of the peace, because without peace there is no life. And at the same time as Umah we have be tolerant to each other and it is very important to solve the conflict without intervention from other Countries.

I know the Enemy of SLAM is celebrating and fueling the Conflict directly and indirectly, and they are very happy to see the distraction RIYADH and DOHA, because two of them are the LEADERS of Muslim Nations at this moment.

I ask Allah for the sake of the HOLLY month to ease the tension between our Brothers and hopefully will have a quick solution for the dispute with the HELP of ALLAH. And it is very SAD to look and wait for the distraction of our Brothers.

And I urge to the Somali GOVERNMENT and JABUTI GOVERNMENT have to take initiative Role to MEDIATE the Conflict between our Brothers, I know it’s difficult task, but with the help of ALLAH, we can do it and this is will be a historic moment with priceless and Victory for the Muslim Nations.
