Somali minister says Israel plans to expel Gaza Palestinians to Somaliland
Somalia’s Defence Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi has accused Israel of planning to forcibly displace Palestinians to the breakaway region of Somaliland, denouncing the alleged plan as a “serious violation” of international law.
In an interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday, Fiqi said Somalia has “confirmed information that Israel has a plan to transfer Palestinians and to send them to [Somaliland]”.
His comments came against the backdrop of longstanding fears raised by Somali officials that Israel intended to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza to Somaliland, reports that the self-governing region and Israel have denied.
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never gained United Nations recognition. Israel’s December decision made it the first country to recognise Somaliland as independent.

Remind me ... where have I heard of such plans before?
Was Madagascar not available to take the phone?
They closed down everything.
As horrible as this is (seriously fuck this), better the ethnic cleansing that keeps these unfortunate kids alive, but out of the way of the psychotic war criminals, than the hell they've been living through, at this point. Doesn't seem like Israel was planning on stopping anytime soon, and I've lost hope that anybody is going to roll in and save them before they are completely genocided. This shit is so fucked.
In the context of a genocide, claims of resettlement tend to be smoke and mirrors. See Armenian Genocide, see Holocaust. Why should it be different with this genocide?
I wonder how's the weather in Madagascar this time of the year.
Oh, another one who didn't sleep all the time during history class.
You can lump native americans in that list as well.
Yes, in many, if not most genocides, forced relocation was either a cover story for, or a tool of mass murder, or both.
Yeah, just a hope that the violence will stop, I guess. Even if it's a dim hope.
There's no guarantee that people in Somaliland won't pogrom them. Locals and Palestinians might clash.
Somaliland only has like 6 million people. It'd almost definitely intensify the civil war, especially because Palestinians would 100% partner with the Houthis.
True. Very depressing. Feels hopeless
Fuck off. Is this just """Anti-Zionism""" again?
People like you should visit the camps and see what fucking bullshit you are spouting! Disgusting!
Again, Fuck off you disgusting piece of human trash.
