A thread on how Djibouti 🇩🇯 tried to take advantage of the aftermath of the liberation war in Somaliland and attack us.

Djibouti’s tinpot regime starting with Abtidoon and the current dictator (and Abtidoon cousin) Ismaïl Omar Guelleh have been fighting SL since day 1!

1/6
SNM liberated all of #Somaliland from the Faqash forces of #Somalia. During the February 1991 shir to create a lasting peace in #Somaliland, the Djiboutians took advantage of our internal strides and propped up a invasion force dubbed the USF

(SNM flag)

2/6
The United Somali Front at the behest of the 🇩🇯’s allied with Faqash Siad Barre loyalist soldiers (Majerteen and Ogaden mostly) took advantage of our situation and launched an invasion to annex Somaliland’s westernmost Loyada-Zeila-Gerissa districts/towns

3/6
Somaliland President, and then SNM chairman Tuur AUN, along with a delegation went to Djibouti and was told by the Prez and then spy chief Guelleh that they had to accept USF vassal rule (hidden 🇩🇯 annexation) over westernmost SL Zeila district.

4/6
The SNM blatantly refused the 🇩🇯attempt to sow discord and take advantage of the situation. SNM forces advanced on Zeila & quickly defeated the USF-Faqash alliance. The Issa militiamen took refuge in Djibouti while the Faqash POW were shipped to Bosaaso

5/6
🇩🇯 tinpot regime tried to annex western SL and failed by the Grace of Allah and the rifle of the brave SNM

In 2021 Guelleh is the Prez of 🇩🇯 and still an enemy of Somaliland.

Let us never forget that we defeated Faqash #Somalia and then Faqash #Djibouti

Guul SL!
