The woman, Farhiya Abdi Qaybdiid, has been denied her chance to becomeone of the delegation members led by Minister Fawziya, because she didn’t have entry Visa to Belgium.
The minister told
Turkish Airlines management that the plane is not
going to take as long as they refuse to take the woman without Visa. "I’m deputy PM and Minister forforeign affairs, if you refuse to take my
personal secretary, your plane
will not come back to our country” said the Minister. Turkish Airlines which suffered delay of two hours
forcefully took the woman and the
delegation.
The
woman, who was carrying Somali Passport and US green card was
stopped
at Brussels airport. Again Minister Fowziya fought with
immigration
officers for saving the woman from detention or possible
deportation
to Mogadishu. The Minister and her real Personal
secretary,
Abdi Dirshe, stayed with Farhiya Qaybdiid at the airport,
Waagacusub
has learnt from important news source.
Somali Ambassador to EU told Waagacusub, that he is
working on obtaining Visa for Farhiya.
Farhiya,
who has been living a year in San Diego, US, cannot use her green
card
to enter European country.
The
Minister argued that Farhiya is her second secretary, but those
who
criticize her believe that her purpose was human trafficking.
Fawziya
always traffics people with her, when going for official trip
abroad.
Her last official to Canada, Minister Fowziya was accompanied
by
ordinary people who paid her to take them to Canada. The same
people
asked for asylum in Canada. One person who was previously
trafficked
by the Minister told Waagacusub that he paid $ 20,000 to
the
Minister.
It is
not yet clear what the Turkish government will do regarding the
delay
of their plane, and the Somali Minister’s act to force them to
take
someone without Visa.
