Though these incidents seem unrelated.. I’m certain they are all related on to the other, fitting like pieces into the larger scheme of things.
The plane crash in Turkey caught my eye a few days ago- The Libyan government (UN recognized official government of Libya) & Turkish government relationship is frowned up on by Israel, Greece, Cyprus, UK and the US. There is some way back reporting at my former site on this subject- Haftar is allied to the US and Israel. Let’s say the US made him the man he is today. If you’ve been paying attention to Trump’s rhetoric regarding Somalia- He was trash talking for a reason- just not the reason most think
We’ll go with the plane crash first- It’s unsurprising that a good chunk of the officially recognized government went down in the crash- By the way this recent plane crash reminds me so very much of the plane crash about 15 years ago that took dead headed the Polish government- The one that was wanting friendlier relations with Russia? I did bring those reports here from my former site. Check em out!
And….we’re going long!

General Mohammed Ali Ahmed al-Haddad, military chief of Libya’s UN-recognised government in Tripoli, died with seven others when the plane crashed near the Turkish capital Ankara.
The Falcon 50 business jet crashed in the Haymana district some 70 kilometres south of Ankara shortly after takeoff from Esenboga International Airport, killing all eight people on board.
Libyan Prime Minister Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah, who leads the Government of National Unity based in Tripoli, confirmed the deaths in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday evening.
“It is with deep sadness and great sorrow that we learnt of the death of the Libyan army’s chief of general staff, Lieutenant General Mohammed al-Haddad,” Dbeibah said, calling the incident a “tragic accident”.
Key military officials died in the crash as well
Four other senior Libyan military officials died in the crash alongside al-Haddad, including General Al-Fitouri Ghraibil, head of Libya’s ground forces, Brigadier General Mahmoud Al-Qatawi, director of the Military Manufacturing Authority, an advisor to the chief of staff and a military photographer.
Something happened with that plane- I’m leaning towards sabotage myself. Wildly speculative, but it makes so much sense when you understand the geo political ramifications of that crash and those deaths.
Three crew members also died in the crash. Turkish officials said the jet was registered in Malta and had been leased. The identities of the crew members were not immediately released.
Libya has announced it will send a team to Ankara to work with Turkish authorities on investigating the crash. Walid Ellafi, state minister of political affairs and communication for the Government of National Unity, told Libyan broadcaster Libya Alahrar that it was not clear when a crash report would be ready.
The country is split between the UN-recognised Government of National Unity in Tripoli, led by Dbeibah, and a rival administration in eastern Libya led by military commander Khalifa Haftar.
Turkey has been allied with Libya’s government in the west, providing economic and military support, though Ankara has recently taken steps to improve ties with the eastern-based government as well.
General Khalifa Haftar, who controls eastern Libya, issued a statement expressing his “deep sorrow over this tragic loss” and extended condolences for the deaths of al-Haddad and Ghraibil.
Haftar is a snake in the grass
Pro-Haftar Libyan official opposes 2019 deal with Türkiye (Dec 17/25)
There’s coverage of this deal at my censored site-
In the fall of 2019, Türkiye and Libya signed a deal setting marine jurisdictions, rejecting unilateral and illegal activities by regional countries and international firms, and protecting the rights of both countries. The deal was registered by the U.N. in October 2020.
So a plane crashes… just after a huge arms deal is made with Haftar’s forces
Pakistan said to have reached $4 billion arms deal with Haftar’s forces in Libya
The deal is said to include the purchase of 16 JF-17 fighter jets, a multi-role combat aircraft that has been jointly developed by Pakistan and China.
Pakistan has reportedly reached a deal worth over $4 billion to sell military equipment to the Libyan National Army (LNA), based in the eastern part of the country, despite a UN arms embargo on the fractured North African country.The deal, one of Pakistan’s largest-ever weapons sales, was finalised after a meeting held last week in Benghazi week between Pakistan military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Saddam Khalifa Haftar, deputy commander-in-chief of the LNA and son of eastern Libya strongman Khalifa Haftar, Pakistani officials told Reuters.
The officials, all involved in defence matters, declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the deal.
Generally speaking Pakistan has always been heavily allied, subordinated to the US.
Understanding that US backed Israel is looking for trouble with Turkey we shouldn’t be surprised to now find out Israel, yes, Israel recognizes Somaliland. Which is Somalia or it was until other interested parties became involved in the separatist aspirations
Israel slights Turkey by recognizing Somaliland
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognized Somaliland on Friday, making Israel the first country to do so and prompting a strong rebuke from Turkey.
What happened: Netanyahu said Israel and Somaliland signed a “joint and mutual declaration.” Netanyahu and Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi were present at the virtual ceremony, the Israeli premier said on X.
“The State of Israel plans to immediately expand its relations with the Republic of Somaliland through extensive cooperation in the fields of agriculture, health, technology and economy,” said Netanyahu.
In a video posted by his office, Netanyahu said he would inform US President Donald Trump of Somaliland’s desire to join the Abraham Accords.
“I’ll communicate to President Trump your willingness and desire to join the Abraham Accords,” said Netanyahu on the US-brokered normalization agreements between Israel and other states in the wider region.
Abdillahi said in a post on X that he affirms Somaliland’s “readiness” to join the accords.
Somaliland is a breakaway state from Somalia that has governed itself since 1991.
The Somaliland presidency said in a post on X that Netanyahu’s decision “affirms Somaliland’s enduring statehood,” adding that Netanyahu invited Abdillahi to visit Israel.
The announcement was made during a virtual meeting and the two leaders spoke by video call, according to images released by Netanyahu’s office. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar held a call of his own with Abdillahi on Friday to discuss bilateral ties, he said on X.
The recognition provoked the ire of Turkey, a country already at odds with Israel. Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oncu Keceli called the recognition a “new example of the Netanyahu government’s unlawful actions aimed at creating instability at both regional and global levels.”
Oh and if you’ve been paying attention Donald Trump was talking non stop about Somalia this past little while- As well as bombing Somalia in escalating attacks.

Trump’s relentless diatribes served a purpose. Just not the one most people thought it did!
