President Lyndon H. Johnson captured the sentiment of how influential whites see poor whites: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best-colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” Capitalist whites will hold only to power as long as they convince poor whites that they are better than America's minorities.

Don't expect the Ethiopians to put their soldiers who did this under investigation. The Farmaajo government is beholden to them and cannot even speak let alone do something which does not have the capacity.

Where is the so called Parliament that used to foam from the two sides of their mouth when it comes to Somaliland/Berbera. Apparently, they are no where to be seen when it comes to the Xabashida. No one talks about the Xabashida anymore. Because Xabashida not only do they exercise their military power there, but as the old saying goes 'sir iyo sawiro waa waayn' ayay ka hayaan Cheeseman They say the Israeli Mozad have a lot of compromising photos of Arab leaders doing 'Qow-mu-luud' in foreign hotels. So they threaten them that they will publish those photos if so-and-so is not done for them. Sort of blackmailing. Cheeseman sawiro waawayn ayaa laga hayaa.

There are certain poets that stand out from the crowd when everyone else is stuck in a merry-go-around sort of cycle. I see this poem as a challenge to the educated people, the religious community and the so called traditional leaders to show leadership and stop bickering like Dhoorey tirsanaysa.

Ethiopians showing who is the boss in Baay and Bakool.

Ruyaawadii Mogadishu lagu jilay... it always cracks me up.
