Henry Kissinger's policy for Ethiopia was to divide the people along ethnic and religious lines in order to destabilize the country so it becomes a client state that never questions the orders it is given to destabilize countries around it.
The same policy could not work in Somalia because, unlike Ethiopia with over 80 ethnic groups, 109 different languages and several religions, Somalia has one language, one ethnic group, and one religion. So they created clan divisions among the Somali people to keep the country divided and weak. And each time the Somali people made attempts to unite for a common cause and purpose, the client state next door was sent to ensure Somalia remains divided and weak. Misery loves company.
But there are other nations in the Horn of Africa that would like to see a strong, united and stable Somalia. Some are already training thousands of Somali forces to take their country back from the hands of African mercenaries occupying the country under the pretext of "peace keeping."
But there's a problem.
A united, strong and stable Somalia with its long coastline, stretching over 3,330 km along the Indian Ocean, does not bode well for the Neo-colonial powers that want to dominate the Indian Ocean. And here's where the Banda Abiy comes in handy. The task given to Abiy is to reverse the progress made in Somalia by driving a wedge between Somalia and its breakaway Kilil of Somaliland, hence keeping the country divided and at war with itself.
The recent drama about the signing of MOA was just a smoke screen to disguise the client state's motives. According to Wikileaks, when Meles Zenawi received orders to invade Somalia, the first words to come out of his agame mouth were: "the order is a god-sent," which his handlers thought was funny that they shared his comments among the diplomatic circle.
