Today he made speech about his cabinet, and said it will be only 15 ministers and three commissions. He said many ministeries will be combined together. The three commissions are: telecommunication commission to regulate the media and the telecom companies,, higher education to regulate universities and their qualities, and the anti corruption commission. I never paid attention to their campaign and program and I ignored the book proff. Samatar was advertising throughout Somaliland, but yesterday I did watch a presentation in London by the professor and it is really impressive. People should pay attention and demand those promises kept. After Ahmed Siilaanyo got sick it has been a controlled chaos. If Cirro won despite the change of government, he would have nominated 50 or more ministers. I do not like Muuse Biixi and SNM or all the alphabetic Somali movements ( Waa dadkii qaranka inaga dumiyey) but if he acts this way, and nominates small cabinet with qualified people, he could be an agent of change in Somalialnd. One thing I know about proff. Samatar is that he would not accept mediocrity, corruption or nepotism in government. He might lead to good governance and better institutions.

Operation tolka ha la quudiyo, miyaa! Not bad, they figured if sillyland and buuqland can get cadaan deeq bixiyaal beeso to pay their clans why should HAG be left out of the gravy train. Salute.

Ak, is correct. No one names 50 or 60 ministers unless someone else pays their salaries. How can a Somali nation that can not pay or form 10,000 soldiers is able to have 325 members of parliament? . Hir-Shabeele was bad idea that was rushed by Hassan Sheikh. Rather than bring the services of the government and economic activity to the interior like Buule-Burde or Beledweyne, they made Jowhar their regional capital, a city 90km from Mogadishu. Unlike public perception , Hiiraan is a region settled by three or four major clans, yet Reer beledweyne want to dominate which will not be accepted by others. This could a big poster for the failure of the " Dawlad Goboleed" here you have a leader who is not worried about law and order, health care or government institution, but spends his time forming a sixty member cabinet. Soon some will resign, while others might try to impeach him. Ah , biciidkaan dili doono. Waan kala diri lahaa dhamaantod , maalintay Addis u safraana waxaan ku soo eedeyn lahaa Khaa'inu wadan jeelkaanan gay lahaa. Qabaa'ilkana dhabarkaan ka jabin lahaa.

Saalax, The West Burco community is the largest among SNM Habro both in numbers and land mass. They have 30% of the Hargeisa city counselors, their land stretch from south HArgeisa to Berbera region and city, to Togdheer and Sanaag. They have large settlements in Zone five like Gaashaamo and " Carro Daanood". In fact except AWdal they reside the other four regions of Somaliland. They are the big muscle and lions of the " Habro" and without them there will not be Somalilaland, Just as, if we Awdalites leave , there will not be Somaliland. I do believe that without waging violent war this community could easily gain the presidency of Somaliland if they played their card strategically and shrewdly. . This community had failed politically more than once, and they should change strategy. Soon, I will present an article about C/raxman Cirro and how he was never a real opposition, but a controlled opposition.

What's on Musa Biixi's agenda apart from forming new government and reconciling different groups?

Here is what the president-elect plans to do according to this article he has written for the Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/974d7a62-d453-11e7-8c9a-d9c0a5c8d5c9

I gotta agree with Galbeedi on this. I think Muse Bihi has a golden opportunity to reshape Somaliland for the better. One of the most urgent issues is resolving the lingering issues regarding the elections. Specially the feeling that Democracy in Somaliland is not working as well as it should be. The other major issue that needs super urgent attention is the so called "jeegaanta" consolidating most of the power in Somaliland and hence the sense of fairness and equality being tested. For the sake of addressing the last point, I think the chairman of Guurti Mr. Saleebaan Gaal or the Chairman of the Supreme Court need to vacate their posts. And in order to put trust back into the election system, It would be very wise to dismiss the chairman of the NEC and appoint a new one. Those two issue will go a long way to ease the current lingering tensions. Other issues that need to be addressed before the Parliamentary elections in 2019 is the allocation quota to the clans of Sool/Eastern Sanaag & Awdal.

There is something unauthentic about the name Hirshabelle. It sounds like a forced juxtaposition of Hiiran and Shabelle names. They should have come up with a better name.

Acuudubillah. He must have been trying to appease 57 clans.

That is classic Awoowe. Khayr baa soo kordhay ayay mar walba noo sheegaan.

YoniZ, I really like the one you have now.

If you only knew that those Soomaali kawaanle put those geel bones on the street curbs of Islii. You only see them in early mornings, and somehow the bones are gone by midday - probably picked by jokore boys. Perhaps those bones are ending up...

It is a courtesy of Libaax, I think.
