IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 35 minutes ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 41 minutes ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 1 hour ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 1 hour ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 1 hour ago

“Both sides shared different interpretations of what the talks entailed. Mogadishu said it was a talk of reunion, and Somaliland said it was to decide its fate as an independent state. It was bound to fail, but this current crisis just catalysed its collapse.”

“I'm calling to you, the people of Mogadishu, the Kharijites [renegades] are amongst you … so flush them out. They are in your houses, they are your neighbours, in cars that pass you by. I want us to commit today to flushing them out. They are like bedbugs under our clothes. We will never accept extremist killing or robbing our people and we will also never accept the killing of our innocent people. We will protect them from al-Shabab. Anyone who does that [kills innocent people] will face trial or justice. The people are tired of massacres, killings, and all kinds of misdeeds and they are now saying to al-Shabab: 'Enough is enough'.”

“Dealing with the Shabab will be among the first challenges facing Somalia's next government. But the new leader needs also to deliver a new Constitution, reform the economy, deal with climate change, open dialogue with the breakaway region of Somaliland and unite a polarized nation. Governance in Somalia became too confrontational over the past few years. It was like pulling teeth. People are now ready for a new dawn.”

“While the government is busy with itself, we are suffering. The Shabab are like a mafia group. You either have to obey them or close your business. There's no freedom.”

“Somalia has been in a constitutional crisis since February when the president's mandate expired. The country has been held together by a political agreement between stakeholders of the federal government, federal member states and stakeholders in the elections. That was supposed to postpone the elections until today, December 27. That has not happened and that is why we are facing this crisis. The prime minister [Mohamed Hussein Roble] was planning to convene a national conference today to chart the way forward. Now the president [Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] has once again intervened and created a situation of real uncertainty and danger. The electoral model was modified by Farmaajo [Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] to favour his reelection and this change is now contributing to the impasse in the electoral process. The entire process has come down almost to cherry picking, where seat by seat we are seeing rigging, we are seeing appointees of the president being given seats, and these are the people who will choose the next president.”

“The African Union (AU), which has signalled that it will name a Somalia envoy to mediate efforts over the stalled election cycle, should move forward on this with speed, and get efforts to bridge the chasm between [the president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed] Farmajo and the opposition started as quickly as possible. International actors must signal a willingness to punish spoilers, including through targeted sanctions. External actors who pursue narrow bilateral interests by backing certain factions within Somalia further risk tipping the balance toward implosion. The US, possibly through its newly appointed special envoy to the Horn, should lean on all outside powers to press for de-escalation.”
