Qatar washes its hands from what between it and Somalia

 Qatar announces support for Somali elections

The Qatari government has for the first time distanced itself from supporting a particular candidate in the upcoming elections, amid reports that it is backing Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo

Qatar's ambassador to Somalia, Hassan Hamse Mohamed, told VOA's Galka Barista program that his government would never run in Somalia's elections, supporting a particular candidate, according to the statement

He also denied that his government had invested millions of dollars in the election of President Farmajo, which he blamed on the former national auditor, who spoke to the Investigative Reporting Program

That is not true. These allegations are baseless. They are not baseless allegations aimed at tarnishing the image of the Qatari government in Somalia. "Throat," said Qatar's ambassador to Somalia.

The ambassador argued that Qatar was playing a key role in stabilizing Somalia and would not interfere in its internal affairs, including elections.

Former national treasurer, Dr. Nur Farah Jimale has accused the Qatari government of investing $ 8 million in the election of President Farmajo, saying he would prove it, although he did not provide any evidence
