Somali Foreign Minister, Yusuf Garaad Omar, said last week (Oct 26), via a post on his official Facebook page that a letter of him discussing Somaliland’s election is ‘fake’, and highlighted many grammatical errors in the letter, to back up his claim.
The forged letter, which began to circulate on social media, last week, attempts to show Omar asking for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar to help his government back Waddani presidential candidate, Abdirahman Irro, in the 2017 Somaliland presidential election.
As soon as the letter went viral, many Somalilanders on social media, from all political stripes, dismissed its authenticity, due to its many grammatical errors.
