I know it's an impediment to political maturity. But I'm intrigued by the writer's assertion, 'intentional decision ', that's sad.

"Successive governments have intentionally decided not to complete the constitution and establish an independent court.". Is it true? Does he know something we don't.

Cajiib. I am going to put this in caps. SHABAB SYMPATHISERS WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ALL SOMALIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY WERE SPECIALLY HAND PICKED FOR ROLES WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT JOBS AVAILABLE. THERE'S NO SOPHISTICATED GOVT SYSTEM TO VET EMPLOYEES FOR NOW, UNTIL THEN, SYMPATHISERS WILL PENETRATE. I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT RELATES TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

Waar qofku ma qaangaar baa horta?

Heshas ruthless businessman, good on him! We need our reer Banaadiri to lead faradheerta, please.

Reerka ma Stockholm syndrome la sheegi jirey baa heysa. Cadaw markaad mudo la deganaato iyaga inaad ka tirsan tahaad is moodaa.

Exactly, they should band together and come up with formidable competitor with integrity. Good brand, great customer service plus if they would have carried the Somali name, people would gravitated to them emotionally.

Daallo waxay iga dhumisay boorso, meel aan u raacdana ma jirin let alone help in locating my luggage. So, fck these mafia masquerading as business people. According to the wasiirka transport, apparently Ethiopian airlines can fly from Addis to Mogadishu and connect to another Somali city but not operate internal flights. They can do international, which is why they're crying, but they have no idea what's to come. If they think the Somali is theirs and theirs alone to abuse, they'll have a rude awakening. They need to think fast and strategically, not baroor diiq.

Piece of x@@r inaad tahay tanaa cadeyneysa.

Good on him but I think this has something to do with not being able to attend UN head of states assembly as an American passport holder. Plus September is a month away. I could be wrong but it's a good example nonetheless.

Allah a u naxariisto

^He would go without a shred of a doubt. Heck, he would bend over backwards to safe his skin, literally. Odayaashaan have no choice. All Shabab are a mafia of the worst kind. Fear is their weapon numero uno. If Mogadishu is less safe than when Sharif and Hasan were in charge, fck safety.

Really? Start from Sharif, he had no clue of how to run anything, from madrasah to presidency. The place was a bigger mess, and he was out of his depth, so I don't blame him but there was no improvement to speak of. Hassan was busy looting the place. These bastards must know their place. No country can have multiple presidents. When Putin came to power all the republics within the Russian federation had presidents, but he got rid of their titles, demoted to governors. This is good for the country and good for whoever comes after this president. Easier said than done. Shabab are a menace. No gov is going to win by force over all Shabab. I think he did call for a dialogue with them, let's see where that goes, but the only way Shabab can be defeated is all Somalis to see them as their existential enemy and annihilate them. Nabad truly waxay ka iman kartaa Soomaali oo dhan oo si daacad ah ugu kacda. Or an honest, patriotic dictatorship.

True. However, I think opposite is the answer. Strong, patriotic honest dictator is what Somalia needs, like Paul Kagame. Someone with a vision yet doesn't have to cajole ignorant tribal leader or tribal mp. Simple as.

Dadka xumaatada jecel, waxaa ogaataan in waxa qarxaya uu wadankaagii yahay (waa haddii Somali nimo jirto), dadka dhimanayaana ay Somali yihiin (dadkaagii). Siyaasad iyo hebelow midna maleh. Tan kale, meel walba oo muhiim ah oo magaalada ku taal waxay u baahan tahay in xuubabka baaritaanka amniga (layers of security checks) in la badiyo si looga hortago wixii khaladaad ah oo la Iman kara ilduufka saraakiisha amniga. Qaabka loo qabanayo iyo shaqaalaha amniga tobabarkooda in la hagaajiyo. Waxaan akhriyey in la ogaa in qof dumar ah oo qarax wadata iney magaalada ku jirto in la ogaa. Tan kale. gelitaankeedii aqalka waxay isticmaashay qof indhoole ah qof caawinaya ayey iska dhigtay si ay u gasho dhismaha. Feejignaan la'aan iyo xurmad khalad ah oo dumarka loo hayo iyo naxariis la tusiyey curyaanka ayaad moodaa in amnigii eedsadey.
