Lies mixed with bitterness.
The Saudis funded Afweyne Barre after he told them that he was fighting "Jews" (Isaaq/SNM).
Ironically Israeli Mossad, West Germany and US trained his weak forces in counter-insurgency, mine warfare etc. and we still defeated them.

My friend you're like an old bulldog, lots of barking and good at guarding the gates but your intelligence nor knowledge is the sharpest even amongst the secessionist camps.
Notice how they are silent about the UAE funding Siad Barre. They very much know it all too well. I even recall few years how one secessionist author was suggesting that camp Ictiraaf uses the UAE for their role in the Barre campaign.
Let me give you just few hints. The UAE was paying something like $50 million in aid to Barre back then a lot just for the air campaign. They put 10 Rhodesian pilots on the payroll and it was those ten who did all the damage in Waqooyi Galbeed.
Furthermore they offered planes--their own (Hawker Hunter).
Let's also recall they offered Barre's entire family asylum and even Barre was to join them there but for some reason didn't. Read the book called
Whatever Happened To Somalia - John Drysdale.
Now the UAE is bitter over its diplomatic fallout with the small but yet powerful Qatar and Turkey.
But once they hit every wall on their head, they going to get on their knees and kiss the Somali ring. They still do. The whole SL visa was a scam. I was there and I can tell you that almost all of the Somalis including Isaaq have left the UAE. It is broke and suffering now.
Somalis have discovered Turkey and that's the new hotspot along with China. Even ask our friend LJ he will tell you that Somalis have deserted the UAE.
There were old Isaaq families from Abu Dhabi and Al ain---all gone. The few that were in Dubai were forced to sell their homes and leave.
I'm well informed guy. I know how to see it through the secessionist fake bravado. This little igu sawir moment does nothing tomorrow when he returns to his Colonial office.
