Information has come out that the Horn of Africa’s political tension has moved to a new and dangerous phase. According to the security sources close to the issue, the Djibouti National Security and Anti-Spying Agency, organized by the neighboring country and targeted by Djibouti President Ismael Omar Gile, has presented a “secret report” to the palace warning of a possible coup attempt.
As you can see the report for the Habesha, this threat of a coup d’état has a foreign hand, but the internal political collapse of Djibouti has created this comfortable situation. Even though President Gile’s administration is collecting rental income by tyrannizing the country’s landscape for foreign giants, this wealth hasn’t been transferred to the lower communities.
The growing gap, especially between the ruling ethnic elite and the desperate youth, is putting the country at risk of a “Mali type” coup. This means a group that is formed within the military is likely to use the anger of the people as a weapon to control power.
According to the secret report, the Horn of Africa is currently suffering from “government collapse epidemic”. Djibouti’s fear did not come alone; the image of the penalty is becoming very scary. The flooded weapons from Sudan have created a new capacity for the Somali forces.
The misunderstanding between president Salva Kiir and Rick Machar is coming back and forth is another threat to the penalty. Ethiopia’s efforts to get a sea gate and its relationship with Somaliland has put Djibouti in danger of both economy and sovereignty. There is a fear that Ethiopia’s interest may serve as a fuel for the military activities that are raised by the name “Our wealth is ours”.
The next thing is not only the poor, but the foreign forces fight, hidden treasures are searched and poor neighbors are proud of. More than 25,000 foreign soldiers have settled in Djibouti’s narrow land. Drones walking in the sky and the crowd of ships is making the locals complain that “our country is sold”.
An estimated billion-dollar mine found near Dunkel is pushing military leaders to rise up saying “we are the ones who should protect the wealth.” The sea salad countries arm tribes; Egypt scrambles to control the Red Sea; Al-Shabab is forming alliance with Sahil jihadists through Sudan.
This Djibouti security report indicates that the institutional collapse in one capital city is becoming a “blue print” for another coup d’état. Foreign interference is being used to present a coup as a “freedom struggle” while wealth is becoming a sweetener for this conspiracy. The report confirms that Djibouti is not out of this cycle, but it has been understood that behind the coup d’état, the neighboring country’s hand is brilliantly written.
