The Republic of Somaliland has strongly opposed China’s military support to Somalia and believes China’s decision relates to the Somaliland President’s visit to the United states of America where he is engaging in talks with Biden’s administration officials.
The Director general of Somaliland Presidency Mohamed Ali Bile revealed that China’s supply of military hardware to Somalia is not a coincidence but a provocation to disrupt Somaliland’s relations with Taiwan and the emerging partnership with the US, an accusation China government has not yet responded to.
The Chinese government has handed over 35 vehicles to Somalia’s National Army, including water, fuel trucks and military ambulances as part of China’s support for the nation’s military.
According to Somalia officials, the vehicles will be used by Somalia’s military to fight against Al-Shabaab who have been fighting to overthrow the central government for over a decade.
