Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Somali diaspora vehemently opposed Ethiopia’s invasion, denouncing it as a threat to the independence and unity of Somalia. Following the so-called MoU between Somaliland and Ethiopia, the diaspora condemns the aggressive actions of the Ethiopian Prime Minister, who seeks to seize Somalia’s Red Sea by force.
In a resounding message, they call upon the Nobel Peace Prize committee to revoke the accolade awarded to Abiy in 2019, citing his role in escalating conflict in the Horn of Africa.
“Abiy Ahmed’s forceful assertion of control over Somalia’s Red Sea coastline poses a substantial risk of exacerbating the already dire situation in the Horn of Africa. The region is grappling with challenges such as drought, poverty, and hunger, and such actions could potentially trigger a humanitarian crisis, leading to waves of refugees and prolonged displacement.” Said the petition. “Abiy’s aggressive actions in the Horn of Africa also present an opportunity for the Al-Shabaab terrorist organization, further complicating the ongoing efforts of the Federal Government of Somalia to eradicate them. The war against Al-Shabaab has seen success since the reelection of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who declared total war against this group in August 2022.”
“The immediate revocation of the Nobel Peace Prize bestowed upon Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is paramount to preserving the integrity and purpose of this esteemed accolade. The Nobel Peace Prize shouldn’t be the certificate to endorse or encourage conflicts”.
