The controversy surrounding Director General Bashir Moalim in the Ministry of Aviation has drawn significant attention, particularly from the Digil and Mirifle clan members.
Their demand for his removal stems from accusations of racial profiling against civil servants belonging to their clan.
This follows an incident in September last year where Moalim allegedly referred to Digil and Mirifle members as “children of Ethiopia,” criticizing their perceived support for Ethiopia’s troop presence in Somalia.
Such remarks have been deemed divisive and offensive, intensifying existing tensions over Ethiopia’s role in Somalia and its complex relationships with Somali communities.
The allegations of racial profiling further exacerbate concerns about discrimination and lack of inclusivity within government institutions.
This situation calls for a thorough investigation to address the grievances of the affected community and ensure accountability while preserving unity and trust in public administration.
