Give it sometime mate.
We are slow in adopting the message from those ragged head lunatics.
After all it took us eight years to fully adopt the Toorabora tactics.

It is easy to frame it that way.
In reality, Jawaari came against a formidable force consisting of the lower house (majority), executive and presidential branches. Add that to the neutral position of the upper house.
That explains why he let himself down so badly and resorted to extreme disgrace.

I will add little editing on that statement "at this point, he who invests in the land with that kind of money - and loot 100 fold of that investment from the public burse - deserves to lead.
Never mix Charity with political campaign. He could have made sincere donations prior to his campaign.

No Saints in politics, what makes the difference is how politicians conduct themselves when their backs are against the robe.
Jawaari behaved like a light weight warlord with zero self-control. It must be the amnesia creeping up on the old man.
I feel for the guy, he needs help and guidance.

Jawari lost his mind and dignity. In this tussle, he is the one crying and kissing Amisom boots. Too bad for a man in his age and experience expose himself this lowly.
Very sad and indeed shameful moment for the country.

22 minutes ago, Old_Observer said:power in Ethiopia is now so scattered no single entity Ethnic, party, group can grab. You need alliances, friends, brothers from few places.
Are you talking to some Far eastern common man here?
Guys at this forum tolerate your crude lies, and stupid misrepresentation of facts you spade daily, not because they can't put you in your place, but they found some kind of entertainments in your daily circus
The power in Ethiopia is concentrated in the hands of few Tigre elites. If they had a wide support, as you claim here, they would not have needed two successive state emergencies and, indiscriminate killing of civilian population that came out protesting.

That's the fantasy of the crooked ruling elite mentality you unashamedly represent on this forum. Paint your opponents as barbarians with little IQs that can't handle the big task of running the state.
There are more Oromo civilians killed by the crimal state apparatus than vice versa. The so called accidental slaughtering in Moyaale being the latest of those crime episodes.
The recent Oromo uprising found working formula of disrupting the state and, brought the system on it's knees.
Overcoming the oppressive tactics that worked in the past three decades was not an easy task.
They should have kept the pressure on and, not wait for what TPLF crooks cook for them.

Well, the ruling elites got their lab clone to lead the country.
Good luck to the Oromo and their half hearted revolution.
That's what happen when you take your foot of the gas and, not complete the job while the metal is still hot.

Che,
Give it several years of heightened political temperature.
No real change will come as the elites run the show. You either take them out of power or accept their version of reforms on their own terms and in their timeframe.
They might allow some minor cosmetic changes (to buy time) as the Egyptian ruling elites did few years back. The counter revolution has already started and, the powerful elites will start turning the clock back to it's original domination era.
The Oromo have lost the momentum, they started something and could have finished it in their own terms with of course paying sacrifices. They decided not to go for it by all means and now have a hell of fight in their hands.
They should either have the metal to withstand the counter attack or, stop pretending like those chanting Egyptian street amateurs we know where it all ended.
In short, no one will give power easily up in this part of the world.

I'm afraid the average man has not been given alternative choices. They have voted for continuity among the three dinosaur candidates which is understandable.

7 hours ago, Oodweyne said:YoniZ,
Agree in some sense. Particularly the lack of deep expertise of both monetary and fiscal policies at the Somaliland finance minster (or to use British's term, the Somaliland's Treasury). Of course, even the recognized African's counties are having a mighty difficulty in managing their currencies as the case of Zimbabwe tragically demonstrate.
However where I disagree with you is the direct implication you are in a haste to draw in here. And by that I mean the SL-Shilling crisis has been in the making for some time. It's partly due to the "creeping Dollarization" of the economy, which is something that is a phenomenon in which most Sub-Sahara Africa are having to put up with.
And secondly, it's largely to do with this new aspect of world economy, which is the "digitization of the means of exchange" (i.e., mobile money-transfer).
Hence, something can be done when it comes to restricting the "reach" of "mobile money" into every day transaction. And that actually need a deep expertise in which I grand you we lack at the moment.
This is why we are asking the UAE's Treasury department (i.e., their finance ministry) to actually send some experts in this area of finance to help us really crack this problem. And remember, that, the UAE has the most developed financial experts in the whole of the Arab world.
As for the inflation, as I said it, it has lot to do with the "money circulation", namely, our old friend of "over-printing the local currency" on one hand, and the lack of hard-currency on the other hand, since folks are "hording" it.
Hence, this arrangement in which the UAE's central bank will be the "lender-of-last-resort" in-terms of hard-currency deposit into the Somaliland's central bank, whereby, the central bank can then "open-and-close" the "spigot-of-hard-currency" into the market, depending of the exchange-rate of the day in the market, could go some way in actually stabilizing (at least initially) the ever rapidly deteriorating rate of exchange of SL-Shilling against the Dollar. This is the plan. But we shall see what comes out of it.
As for the UAE's history in dealing with other states, it of course tells a "cautious tale" of how one should be careful. Or at least "enter" into this sort of "relationship" with one's eyes wide open. And we in Somaliland, are no less awake to any circumstances in which we may find ourselves in so far this "budding relationship" we seems to have developed with the UAE is concern.
Hence, we know all of that. But we believe out of their "strategical interests", the current government of the UAE and we have reached a "far-reaching-deals" (i.e. political, economical, diplomatic, strategical).
And this in turn will have many facets and will take in many forms of "ground-implementation" (as it were). So, lets see how all of this will pan-out.
Oodka,
Both public and local business are suffering now because of the Treasury incompetency. This useless Guddi had one full year to plan proper transition and draw contingency plans, if some are needed.
They just kept repeating bold ideas without putting any hard work in to the practicalities.
The top guy at the central bank (aka khasnajiga dawladda) is more interested in putting stupid aluminum face lift at the bank buildings, than performing his duties as the head of the central bank.
Thousands of money exchange guys are left out idle. They cannot receive -like anyother person - mobile transactions less than $100. These guys should have got pre-issued special mobile numbers so they can make exchanges in smaller amounts.
The irony is, Mobile money companies took the lion share of the money exchange services, the opposite of what was aimed for.
That is Hargeisa and, only God knows how people in remote ereas are effected in the past 7 days.

Maakhiri,
This last episode of the shilling crisis is caused by not inflation or oversupply but bad monetory policy.
The shilling strengthening committee started to implement something they did not build the ground for and, with zero contingency plan.
25000SLS for cup of coffee and pastry day before yesterday. The same items cost me 27500SLS yesterday from the same coffee shop.
Oodka,
I advice you to closely examine brief history of the darling friend's interventions in the economy of their newly found allies. Are they in a better shape economically and politically than they were before? Add that to the measure of reliability as a friend in hard times.
This last shilling fiasco is more to lack off capable guys at the treasury than dollar shortages.

Your input might have had some (however small) merit to it if you stayed on topic instead of adding something that only yields mutual mudslinging of the worst kind.
Must you lower yourself to that level and use a language that is likely to offend and craves for a similar response? Where is the Suldaanimo?
Couldn't said it better.
That is the reason why many good SOL comrades abstained to join this race to the bottom sprint.

The country is now blessed to have people like Bayle and Bashir Isse runing the treasury and the central bank respectively.
I don't know how long this recent luck will last, but all looks upwards and, we may finally catch a break from the never ending curses of the past three decades.

The numbers may be a fair representation of the military and their families who settled in Moyale. At the end of the day Moyale is a triangle border town, Xero askareed.

That Gorod guy is the most reasonable military man I have seen in that position for a longtime.

35 minutes ago, Holac said:That is an interesting theory. Let us see what OO has to say about this.
Holac,
The Tigray boys might have had other agendas in mind by flooding Somali cities with Oromo. However, it has clearly back fired on them
-
The numbers are far more smaller than two years ago, when you could witness young Oromo men marching on foot alongside the highway, from outside Hargeisa till you reach Bosaso.
The likes of Cali Xun in this clip played effective role in cleansing Bosaso from the high influx.
It is also noticeable, those young men travelled over thousand kilometres on foot, risked their lives on sea and, withstood the smugglers' brutal treatment.
When these young men are deported from Saudi Arabia back to Ethiopia, they already lost the fear factor, which made them play important role in the Oromo uprising.
Some later deportees even had some experience in earning living out of the Yemeni civil war.
-
Oh jolly good. If small tribe in that size had the same chance to run Ethiopian economy for over two decades as their private property like the Tigray.
I am sure, they would have done it in less brutality and, more due diligence exercise.

11 hours ago, Che -Guevara said:So the argument for the status quo is the fear of unknown.
Che,
The irony is the guy who resigned, was their best hope in maintaining the status quo, while addressing some of the Oromo greivences.
Tigre Hawks were not happy with his late reconciliatory moves. The emboldened Oromo leaders also didn't appreciate his little favour.
He was pressured from both sides and being put between rock and a hard place. What he did is simply let the two camps own the boxing ring and do their laundry by themselves.
The word compromise will be badly needed to be added first time to the Ethiopian political dictionary.

Until we drop that ugly begging bowl, expect this kind of pandering from our politicians.
What a shame!
