Former state minister announces reasons for sending troops to Eritrea

 Former Minister of State for the Presidency of Somalia Abdulkadir Sheikh Ali Baghdadi spoke about the situation of the soldiers sent by the Somali government for training in Eritrea and the reason behind their absence from the country for longer than the training.

Baghdadi said the Somali government had failed to resolve many of the mistakes that had led to the Somali troops being stranded in Eritrea for a long time.

Speaking to Goobjoog TV, Baghdadi said that the wrongdoing of the Somali government could include rumors that the Somali government has not paid its pledges, which has led to the soldiers being held hostage.

"Having a soldier for more than a year does not make sense. I believe there is something that the current government cannot solve. The deadline has passed and plans have not been made," he said. of the Presidency.

Abdulkadir expressed optimism about the efforts of Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble and the committee he appointed, and expressed optimism that more convincing information would be provided to parents.

Finally, the former minister of state for the presidency has asked the country's top leaders not to lie about the plight of the missing soldiers, as their parents are in a precarious situation.

Concerns have been raised about the deployment of Eritrean soldiers when the UN Human Rights Council ruled that Somali troops were not taking part in the Ethiopian government's offensive in the Tigrean region.

The parents of the missing child have staged several protests in the streets of Mogadishu, urging the outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo to return their children, although President Farmajo has never felt sorry for the parents' requests and tears.
