Somalia Foreign Minister Lashes Out at Pro-Al-Shabaab Tweet by Finnish-Somali Politician in Hargeisa

Mogadishu (PP News Desk) — The Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, responded to a tweet by Faisal Ali Warabe, a Finnish-Somali politician based in Hargeisa. “God is great. All we expect is that Al-Shabaab will take over Somalia in May or June,” Warabe tweeted in Somali.

Fiqi took Warabe to task over expressing support to Al-Shabaab.

His support for an internationally proscribed organisation drew the attention of Fiqi, who accused the “Somaliland administration” politician of openly supporting a terrorist group. “Your remarks reflect stupidity. You have already allowed your child to join ISIS, and now you have clearly aligned yourself with Al-Shabaab. Warabe must be blacklisted,” the Foreign Minister of Somalia tweeted.

Pro-secession social media activists have been exaggerating the hit-and-run attacks by Al-Shabaab terrorists in parts of Hirshabelle.
