Jul 24 (Jowhar.com) – The Ethiopian government said that the weapons recently captured by the people of Abudwak have nothing to do with Ethiopia, the Somali government is responsible for the management and distribution of weapons.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, Nebiyu Tedla, while speaking to VOA, was asked whether they bought these weapons from DFS or not, but he refused to give details.
A few days ago, the XFS sent a letter to its foreign embassies saying that Ethiopia imported the weapons into Somalia, illegally.
This weapon is causing serious confusion in Somalia, three embassies in Addis Ababa, Nairobi & Mogadishu are under strict investigation.
However, these weapons, which were imported into Somalia a few days ago, especially Abudwaq, according to the media, were taken from military bases in the town of Godey in the Somali Regional Government.
The Somali government has denied any involvement in the illegal importation of weapons and has called for a thorough investigation into the matter. The XFS has also urged the international community to take action against those responsible for the illegal arms trade in Somalia.
Meanwhile, tensions are rising in Abudwaq as local residents fear the consequences of the influx of weapons into their town. The XFS has promised to work with local authorities to ensure the safety and security of the residents in the area.
As the investigation continues, the XFS is determined to uncover the truth behind the illegal arms trade in Somalia and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The stability and security of the region depend on it.
