" I just wanted to participate with you in the meeting," replied General Gabre Heard.
"I think you are in a wrong place," said the General Adan to General Gabre. Then he told the Ethiopian official that it was not the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of Somalia.
Gebre requested from the General to give a chance to talk to him personally but Adan said that he had no chance to do so.
Gebre sent a call to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and asked him to help him participate in the defense forces' meeting. Mohamud asked Gen. Gebre to ask Adan to talk to him on phone but General Adan rejected it by saying that he had no time and busy for doing his national duty.
Adan eventually told Gabre to get out of the meeting as soon as possible since he was a foreign diplomat.
"Gen. Gebre became upset and got out of the meeting hall. But President Hassan called General Adan and asked him to call at him," according to officials attending the meeting.
General Adan went to the President and what they discussed remain unknown but when the general returned to the meeting hall he changed all security staff including his personal ones.
However, Ethiopia's Gebre became a man that degrades the Somali officials when he has no power.

A planned protest in Ethiopia's Oromia state has turned deadly. Scores have been killed after federal police and security forces opened fire on peaceful protesters, according to eyewitnesses and reports on social media. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets in more than 50 towns across Oromia early Saturday morning in what has been billed as a 'national day of rage' to protest the Oromo people's continued marginalization and human rights abuses in Ethiopia. The situation in the populous state, home to the Oromo people, remains tense and volatile. In the last two days, embassies of the United States, Norway and the United Nations office in Ethiopia have all issued travel warnings for the weekend. Full Article

Al-Shabaab is more than just a terrorist group. In 2011, its annual revenue was in the region of $70–100 million per year. In 2018, the President of the Somali Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) confirmed that Al-Shabaab collected an estimated $20 million dollars from South Somalia alone.
Somalia suffers from the disgraceful culture of leaders and politicians invoking deceptively legitimate documents like the Provisional Constitution for bolstering false claims and arguments or for obfuscating critical search for truth. That culture has undermined the requirement of truth, good faith, and accountability in the public life and dashed the public hope for democratic state of Somalia governed by the rule of law and democratic values.
