They can not understand the West ended the so call war on Teror. Dawaco meeley baruur kubaratay ayay macaluul ugu bakhtigaa. The idea of functioning as Kurdish or Taywaan not gone bring any more fruits for them. West or Ethiopia do not need their services whether Adna and Waraabe cries in the churches or synagogues. The global geopolitics is going a different direction. It is in fact going to the Indian Ocean.

This was predicted and it is just beginning of destruction what remained the gorgor and Danab units. Instead of continue where Farmaajo left, focusing on Shabelle regions and go beyond. He focused on empowering H clan melesia in central regions and allowed H mellessia to come back in Baraawe and Marka. Now he lost the trained units and clan mellesia is free to establish their roadblocks. The militants are weak and their time has expired but Hassan doesn’t have a plan. Before end of his term there will no be national s army left, just few Hag mellessia with roadblocks.

They tend to not like their own unique people or good people. “Ma anoo aarsankara ayaan duco qaataa” that was the old Biixi. The old guy Saleebaan Gaal knew how this will end but never did anything to stop it. His first reaction of news of laascaanood for first day war was very much telling. End of the day is about their strength. As long as they have teeth they can use to bite they’ll.

It doesn’t really matter. They don’t have independent clan melessia rather government controlled clan malessia which they call national army. The Somaliland national army is comprised. Only some of HJ and HY knew the way back home. Some of them are still lost in the Doodi region. Some of them were captured close to Eyl district. The time is not their side and they put themselves in spotlight. Of course they want fight back but they don’t have much choice for right now. Time has caught up. They’re lucky if they keep what they got whether political, economicly and area of control.

The momentum is with united SSC. The front line is 100 km away from Laascaanood. People will come back to city and the live will come back normal. Remember Somaliland did not come to Laascaanood themselves. In fact the two army have distance of between 5 km between Gumays and OOG. Somaliland has not any capacity to attack SSC right now, Even a small successful attack will help them to present something. Somaliland and SNM do not have a tradition and experience of planning large scale attack. They will not take that risk with speed of SSC forces, they could be overrun again. They may attack some area with small unit of SSC forces and hope capturing some trucks to present as a victory. Some type of SNM style of fighting to attack one village and go back home. I do not see anything else the defeated army capable of doing. They did not fight last week and their moral is very low. They lost any advantage they had militarily. Before the last week defeat , you could see they were already exhausted, their formation and attacks were weak compared to the beginning of the war. Where SSC forces were gaining strength and experience. I am not expecting any large scale of attack from Somaliland army. These emotions will die and it will be a frozen conflict with a define SSC victory.

I am afraid they will not separate themselves from Biixi any form. They gave him one more year and asking compensation for the dead soldiers. That is Somaliland. They never make sense. I think what Garaad Jama is saying is that, the next time it will be pure clan war.

I was making appoint here that Somaliland needed this defeat. They never released they got more than they deserved. In 1950 only small part of Togdheer, Sool and Sanaag were occupied by SNM tribes. Much of the north flat land is occupied by SSC even today . 1991 they came up a new country and the idea that they are closing the colonial borders. With that dream failed they can start a friendly approach to their neighbors. They are and always be traders. A trade can not fight his neighbors.

As you said it look like one side is completely defeated. Do you accept the fact and change your mind?

It took almost 8 months but it ended with complete destruction and defeat of Somaliland army. This army was equipped with 8 very good shape tanks owned by Somali army. 5 tanks are captured and two are destroyed. Only one missing right now. We wanted this to be done earlier but total defeat is what needed to shot up those hardcore SNM people who believed they won the civil war. This defeat was needed for the peace in the region and the future of the Somali nation. It also a reality check for those who occupied moqdisho and hitchhiked Somali political settlement

The road is open for SSC forces to go all the way. Only Sheikh mountains could stop. SSC elders and new leadership stopped SSC forces to enter OOG and villages inhabited Somaliland tribes. To stop looting and killing civilians population. The defeated Somaliland army left most its heavy weapons and remaining groups went different directions.

It failed quickly than expected. Somaliland army did not offer any meaningful resistance. And had zero coordination.Crazy Biixi waited and waited but finally he forces collapsed. Somaliland army is done.

Today was the biggest day the fight in Laascaanood. A very bloody day for both sides. But a tactical victory for locals. Th next few days the battle of Laascaanood maybe over.

Was not the “army” want to capture the city badly? They were forced to hide their bunkers in Goojacade.

Fake photoshopped video. This video was proved to be photoshop.

I remember when this man was deported. He was not in Laascaanood. Laascaanood is very conservative city. He hired house in Hargeysa where he was bringing women and recording them. This was going for long time before he was deported. The tapes was confisticated by Somaliland government. A lot of victims unfortunately, that the Hargeysa women for months were asking each other "Naa makabad baaday" meaning are you in recoding of the German man. This qoomoluud has been part of Hargeysa specific culture. It originally started when Isaaaq tribes signed a treaty with British colonial not to have kids in their land. Which means British children can no born in that region. If the a British female became pregnant she have to leave the land. With these arrangements the British brought what they are known in that part of Somalia. Now the NGO and many other foreign agency spread the liberal culture with local tolerance.

You just little ignorant uninformed SNM dreamer. I am telling you the SNM days in Laascaanood are about to end. You are not a local person who knows that place. It is all about SNM bunkers in Goojacade which is only 6km from the city. Godey style bunkers where SNM forces are hiding. I grantee you it It will cleared sooner rather later. This is it.

The SNM are hiding bunkers inside Goojacade. That is the area they concentrated all their forces and that is the only place they can hide. Th battle is Goojacade and SNM trying to hide their bunkers. They came out today for the rain seasons and beaten back. It will take time before all hardcore SNM are killed. That is how long they stay.

No question that the Garacad port will have a good future. Now that the SNM region is completely isolated the Garacad will have a good start. Even Boosaaso has seen increased activities.

This man is wounded after his speech according to reliable sources. SSC forces continue killing the hardcore group of SNM. The more experienced SNM fighters are becoming fewer by the day and they will have for replacements. Today was another good day for defenders of Laascaanood city. They are ready for tomorrow’s. This is a battle of who is going to last in the end. SNM days in Goojacade are close to end.

They really angered many people for many years now. The last few days hundredth of Ogaadeen and Geri fighters from Warder region arrived in Buuhoodle. They said we don’t come here to go to Laascaanood. Locals convinced them to stay and wait for directions. Huge bloodshed may stopped. They underestimated the new reality in Somalia Pennsylvania and overestimated their capacity. The secessionist may signal unification talks as well. The game is over for now.

The Ethiopian security personnel is involved a ceasefire and a deal is in place. Muse will be allowed to leave peacefully.

Yesterday alone Somaliland lost over 100. They attacked the city and locals was ready for them. So far only a group from Sanaag participated the last battle. Another volunteer group from Mudug just came.The rest of fighting was done by locals and 100% of the fatalities are locals. Ina Canbaashe has been problematic for the SSC. This has changed the battle field. The next ten days Laascaanood area will be cleared.

Galbeed The Putland elites never liked Khaatumo state. But there are some changes Abdiwali from Mudug said lately he does support Khaatumo state. But both Faroole and Deni will try their best to stop formation of khaatumo state and working with Biixi as we speak. As you pointed out it is all about International community attitude and for now they will not differentiate SSC, Awdal, Putland and Somaliland. The lessons they learned Ethiopia. They are supporting and helping Hassan for reason and he only controls Moqdisho and surrounding area. When Khaatumo became free it will receive everything directly. It’s already happening. The Barwaaqo program was already approved to happen in the SSC. Somaliland was collecting more than 2 million dollars a month from Khaatumo region.The problem will not be about recourses but more likely the luck of culture of governing. But Khaatumo will rather fight each other than having anyone else around.

I don’t where you live but 1/2 of anything that loaded Berbera goes east. Whether it is sibidh or food. WFP use Berbera. Also fruits and anything that comes Ethiopia go through Berbera. The goods come from other side too. But as always landers are much more dependent on trade and traffic. The Hargeisa airport and cities hotels also will be impacted.
