    *He did a lot more than that, you're just being humble. :) On behalf of late brother (AUN) and the rest of the family thank you. :) Come to think of it, our paths crossed due to this pursuit "education" thingy.

     

    A&T, your article had me staring of at my cousin's old passport photo. I wondered if it too was taken in May 1985. I calculated since he travelled in Ramadan of '85, the photo must have been taken a few weeks earlier which is roughly May 1985. Even though my cousin was better looking in my biased opinion, he too had that Saddam Hussein stare. On the positive side - for your cousin that is - he looks much older than 12, ma sha Allah. :)

     

    Apophis, parent appreciation is considered a sign of legitimacy and lucidity in many cultures. I advise you to avoid such talk just in case you gave the wrong impression.

    But still this Oodweyne leader is making a scene in Hargeysa

    The reasons for the expulsions are obvious even today. :) I think we have already established the likes of Dr. Gaas and Gabboose appreciate the finer arts of freedom to make a political scene without threats of expulsion. :)

     

    Enetereegii Xamar ku keenay iyo teknikadii Mujaahid Abwan uu watay in yar bay kala horeyeen. Nin aan Xamar dhoof ku imaan baad "Oodweyne leader" maanta ugu yeedhay. Muj. Abwan baa kaa daran oo intuu kirada guriga bixin lahaa "invitation" diray. Federal madness. :)

    It depends on what time of day the approach is made. Maybe The Xaaji was approached very early in the morning - by his standards :) Otherwise, like everyone in here, I misjudged XX as well. I would not have sent him an official SOL friendship request if I thought he was this mean. Maybe I'm bad judge of characters. I've already had authorities ask me about one *SOL friends and I feel it's only a matter time before another does something absolutely bonkers.*

    There you go again. :) I hope you're not paranoid offline as well.

     

    As for A&T, it's beyond online/offline theory. Even his online character is*schizophrenic. One minute he is a freedom-yearning ONLFer, a proud axumite the next.*

    Unlike Sheikh Shariif's secret clandestine flirtations with the secessionists, his successor, Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, has gone public and has no qualms in openly embracing and giving succour to them for whatever reason. First was the way he left Khatumo, Somalia's most proven loyalists, in the cold while rewarding secessionist Somaliland - sworn to the destruction Somalia - with the most coveted post in his government;

    I like this Osman. :) Maybe it's because he addresses his readers like they have no idea of what is taking place in Somalia. Maybe it's because he spills the bacaac other try to contain. All the time and money spent on lobbying by some Khatumi faction and some chieftains came to naught. No speaker, no PM and not even a minister in the 10 member cabinet.

     

    Keep them coming Osman.

    Go to the Somali sections of Nairobi, and you'll see nothing but walking curtains, and men subscribing to the Saudi ideology. It's ridiculous. Somalis weren't like this in the 1980's

    Last time I checked Kenya was secular. Did things change when Sh. Axmed Madobe was recruited?

    SOL ads reflect your "interests". Someone thinks you're a canary. :) I only get boring cheap flights and calling cards ads.

    D. Pandering to the secessionists

    From the perspective of northern unionists, the most egregious action of the president is his rewarding the secessionists while dumping the unionists, a treacherous act that will enter the annals of Somalia’s history. Needless to say, the secessionists never had it so good as they have under this president who gave them on a plate what they had failed to garner from the international community for the last 22 years.

     

    This achievement came about after Somaliland made fundamental change in its quest for recognition. Having realised that no recognition was forthcoming from the international community unless they had first settled the matter with their Somali government, Somaliland had little option but to heed that advice and change tack. That is what they did.

     

    Tribalism is Somalia’s Achilles’ heel and it is through that route Somaliland sought its aims. As they often intimate, support for the union at the best of times is lukewarm in the south, and least cherished among the H block clan. For this reason, and in order to tap this groundswell of potential support, the mythical Irririsim bond was revived in which reciprocity of support for each other’s interests would be the order of the day. The call for the enclave’s recognition by the former TFG minister of the interior, Mr. Abdisamad Maalin Mohamoud, often cited as representative of the Hblock political class, was the first dividend of this policy.

     

    In pandering to the irrirsim card, the prematurely much-vaunted president has gone beyond the pale more than the unscrupulous Sheikh Shariif would have dared. In return for their votes, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud has rewarded Somaliland by giving the most coveted and sensitive post, combining the foreign ministry and first deputy PM, to Ms Fowsia Yusuf Haji Aden, an inexperienced secessionist who refused to even renounce the secession after her appointment with the president, (and now parliament), turning a blind eye.

     

    Interviewed by both VOA and the BBC Somali Services on her stance on the secession and union issues, her response , disingenuously, is that Somaliland is her country (not her region) and Somalia too is her country. In other words, these are two separate countries and she belongs to each of them as other Somalis in Parliament and government also belong to both Somalia and other foreign countries ( USA, UK,Candada, etc). In other words, Somaliland is separate from Somalia as the UK is. This is the logic that the president, PM and Parliament have all sanctioned.

     

    What makes Ms Fowsia’s appointment all the more unforgivable is that the president preferred her to a number of experienced unionist veterans, some from her own clan, people like professor Ismail Mohamud Hurre “Buubaa” who is not allowed to enter his region, Somaliland, to the present day as punishment for his unwavering support for Somalia’s unity.
