Immature politician/technocrat who was advised badly. He should have adopted the Putin/Medvedev model.

^is the northern enclave going to be next child of Ibrahim to join?

Saacadii baa halkaa uga go'day! Move on it's been 30 years, damn it.

Off the ladder 1990 and back on by 2016, third from bottom better than 2 other countries, not bad. Not at our rightful place in the region but a wounded tiger, we are.

The northern enclave so called leaders are next to go to Tel Aviv to kiss some Yuhuudi backside in the name of 'ictiraaf'. What an effing world we are living in!

Geographically close to Ethiopia. 100m landlocked market. Yes.

Fck the ic. Wrong or right of anything done, its us Somalis that should decide.

It could be a simple coincidence.

This is obviously the work of the right in America. At least the congresswoman is still wearing the hijab and calls herself a Muslim. What she does in her private life is between her and the Creator.

They (northern admin) should have been grateful to the Somali government. Lo and behold, their withdrawal symptoms clouded their minds. Somali airspace is the responsibility of the Somali government. Capiche?

Egypt is either involved or enjoying it and will probably do everything they can to worsen the situation. It's to do with the dam. What's with Africa and this ethnically driven politics. Why is the continent struggling with building federally administered regions and having a decent federal state? Drums of war will bring nothing but woe. I think Ethiopia will survive this.

We have never lost our independence. It's the day the Somali state was founded. Happy statehood birthday.

Umuliso loogu yeerayo Dr. She has a case of Koonfuritis.

....Turkey. Why not? Qatar signed this with Turkey hence probably why gulf states would not dare to wage war due to Turks. Why didn't Somalia sign this with Turkey? Given that Turks have the biggest military base anywhere in Africa and are pretty much a de facto ally? It's so obvious, but can't understand why that isn't the case, already.

Somalis are cynical bunch. War haddii kheyr kasoo baxo waa kheyr. La hadlaa talo la helaa. Kala fadhi ka roon. Anything that brings peace and prosperity to the Somali inhabited lands should be applauded. Stop over analysing everything.
