Somalia Sounds the Alarm: Taiwan’s Covert Weapon Deal Threatens to Ignite Clan War in the Horn of Africa

By The Somali Defense Brief

In a region long scarred by the aftershocks of civil war and clan conflict, a new and dangerous chapter may be unfolding—this time fueled by foreign interference. Somalia’s Minister of Defense, Ahmed Moalim Fiqi, has issued a stern warning to the world: Taiwan is meddling in Somalia’s internal affairs in a way that could destabilize the entire Horn of Africa.

According to credible intelligence obtained by the Somali government, Taiwan—an island that is internationally recognized as a territory of China—is allegedly seeking to arm the Isaaq clan, a faction that has long pushed for secession from Somalia. This isn’t just a political stunt; it’s a direct challenge to Somalia’s sovereignty and a potential spark for civil war.

“When we discovered these plans, we didn’t hesitate,” Minister Moalim Fiqi declared. “We immediately banned entry into Somalia for anyone carrying a Taiwanese passport. It’s a matter of national survival.”

 

This isn’t just an internal Somali dispute. It’s a geopolitical powder keg with regional and international consequences. Taiwan’s alleged actions threaten to arm one clan—Isaaq Or “Somaliland”—against another—the Harti—within Somali territory. Hundreds of Harti clan members have already been forced to flee from the city of Erigavo, stripped of their homes, property, and livestock. These civilians now languish in displacement, victims of a dangerous plan to redraw Somali borders by force.

Even more alarming is the potential for these weapons to fall into the hands of terrorist groups like Al-Shabaab and ISIS, both of which are already lurking in the mountainous terrain of Sanaag.

Let’s be blunt: arming factions in a fragile post-conflict country is a recipe for genocide. Taiwan’s reckless interference could tip the balance in a region that has fought long and hard for stability. Somalia’s clan-based social structure is not something foreign governments can afford to play with. The cost isn’t just political—it’s human lives.

Minister Moalim Fiqi has called on the People’s Republic of China and the United Nations to investigate this arms pipeline and shut it down immediately. He was clear: no weapons should enter Somali territory without the express authorization of the Federal Government of Somalia.

This is not simply a bilateral matter between China and Taiwan. This is a global red line. No nation—however powerful or isolated—has the right to stoke ethnic conflict in Africa for its own strategic advantage.

To Taiwan: your attempt to use Somalia as a proxy battlefield for your global power games is unacceptable.

To China: if Taiwan is acting against your One-China Policy by involving itself in foreign conflicts, prove it—take action.

To the United Nations: wake up. The warning signs are flashing red. If the world stands by, the next massacre will not be a surprise—it will be a consequence of silence.

Somalia is rebuilding. But peace is fragile, and foreign meddling like this threatens to unravel decades of progress. The world must act—not later, but now.
