An American report exposes the Somali regime ... international human rights demands to punish the president of Somalia for human trafficking crimes
The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Somali Parliament requested the Somali President, Muhammad Abdullah Muhammad "Farmajo", to investigate the matter and clarify the whereabouts of the Somali forces sent to Eritrea for training.
For their part, both the Farmajo government and the Ethiopian government headed by Abi Ahmed denied the presence of Somali forces in Tigray. Somali Information Minister Othman Abu Bakr Dob appeared on state television and said that no Somali forces were involved in Tigray and indicated that Farmajo's opposition had fabricated the accusations. The Somali government wrote on Twitter that it "strongly denied the false reports" about the killing of Somali recruits in Ethiopia.
But body bags and eyewitness accounts tell a different story. The carnage in Tigray is immense. Meanwhile, the Farmajo government has been unable to provide insight into the whereabouts of Somali recruits who have been relocated abroad. It was difficult to hide the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battles for Tigray, in Ethiopia.
There is also a precedent for such scandalous backroom dealing with Ethiopia. At the start of Farmajo's era, Somali forces kidnapped Abd al-Karim Sheikh Musa, a former army officer, from his hotel in Galkayo and transported him to Ethiopia. Farmajo repeatedly denied that he did, until his release and reappearance. The lies of the Somali government were exposed
