Of course, the message, loud and clear, also applies to servants like Abiy.

They ordered Emirates to get out of Yemen within 24 hours and they did so. Somalia is a sovereign coungry and if any idiot tampers with its sovereignty, it is natural for its friends to help. UAE will not be able to operate Berbera because Mogadishu has told them to get the hell out and they have complied. You don't seem to grasp the elementary facts about Somalia. No one can use Somaliland airspace or coast without the agreement of Mogadishu. Let that sink in!

Let me make it clear Somalia isn’t. Yemen
Somalia is a country only because the western goverment is given legitimacy it doesn’t have domestic legitimacy
Yemen has houthi components the Yemeni government and the southern separatist the southern separatist were relying on uae soldiers and support Somaliland and puntland are not relying on security from the uae this is the big difference between Somali republic and Yemen ,once u grasp that the thing its ironic it’s the federal govt that relies on Ugandan troops and burundi troops and burundi troops and Djibouti troops and Ethiopia troops
Not the autonomous region of puntland and the break away republic Somaliland

DUBAI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Dubai-owned ports and logistics company DP World said on Tuesday its operations at Berbera port in Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland were continuing under existing agreements, amid regional tensions following an escalation in nearby Yemen.
Somalia's government said on Monday it was annulling all agreements with the UAE, including port deals and defence and security cooperation, accusing the Gulf country of undermining its national sovereignty.

The move followed an investigation that Mogadishu launched last week after a Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, where tensions between global oil heavyweights Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been running high, said the UAE had spirited a separatist leader out of Yemen via Somalia.
A crisis erupted last month in Yemen when the separatists swept through the south of the country, including the port city of Aden, advancing within reach of the border with Saudi Arabia, prompting Riyadh to declare the move a threat to its national security.

"DP World remains focused on the safe, efficient operation of the port and on delivering trade facilitation and economic benefits for Somaliland and the wider Horn of Africa region," it said in a statement to Reuters, adding that questions on "political decisions, intergovernmental discussions, or diplomatic positions should be directed to the relevant authorities."
The UAE has cultivated deep economic and security ties with Somaliland. The centrepiece of this strategy is a $442 million investment by Dubai-based logistics company DP World to develop and operate the Port of Berbera in the breakaway region.

Last month, Israel became the first country to officially recognise Somaliland's independence, a diplomatic breakthrough that was facilitated by Abu Dhabi, according to an Axios report that cited Israeli officials.
