Egypt’s generals land in Mogadishu. But secret intelligence shows the plan: move them into Lasanod, open a new front against Somaliland, and block US recognition. Somaliland’s special units are ready.
Egypt’s Troops in Somalia: Secret Plan to Open Lasanod Front Against Somaliland.
Secret intelligence obtained by WARYATV shows Somalia and Egypt preparing for war in eastern Somaliland. Mogadishu’s new “Northeastern administration” in Lasanod seeks to expand into Sanaag, while Somaliland prepares counter-operations.
A high-level Egyptian delegation led by Maj. Gen. Islam Radwan arrived in Mogadishu under the cover of AU peacekeeping (AUSSOM). But sources confirm the true objective: redeploy Egyptian-trained units into Lasanod, installing Mogadishu’s newly declared “Northeastern administration” inside Somaliland’s borders, with ambitions to extend into Erigavo, Sanaag’s capital.
This is no peacekeeping exercise. It is preparation for war.
Somaliland’s special units are already on high alert, ready to defend national territory and counter any Somali-Egyptian operation. The frontline is being drawn in eastern Somaliland, where Mogadishu hopes to ignite a conflict that will derail Somaliland’s rising push for international recognition—especially from Washington and President Irro’s government.
The Egyptian hand in this escalation is not new. On 11 September 2024, WARYATV first broke the story of the closure of the Egyptian library in Hargeisa—exposed as an intelligence front for Cairo, operating alarmingly close to Somaliland’s presidency. Ethiopian intelligence confirmed the site was an Egyptian operation hub, raising urgent questions about how it was ever built at the heart of Somaliland’s capital.
For Egypt, this is geopolitics. Cairo seeks to strangle Somaliland’s recognition bid, which it fears will strengthen Ethiopia and tilt Red Sea dynamics away from Egyptian dominance.
By arming Somalia and anchoring troops in Lasanod, Egypt positions itself as Mogadishu’s shield.
Turkey, too, doubles Mogadishu’s strength with military agreements and reconstruction projects, adding another layer of pressure against Somaliland’s sovereignty.
Somalia, long opposed to Somaliland’s independence, is investing everything in portraying Hargeisa as unstable and illegitimate. But the facts defy the narrative: three decades of peace, democracy, and progress stand in Somaliland’s corner.
Now, with Egyptian boots preparing to move from Mogadishu to Lasanod, the Horn is bracing for a dangerous new confrontation. Somalia’s war to deny Somaliland recognition is no longer theoretical—it is operational.
