China and Russia are watching. When the west leaves a space, they will fill it. West need to understand that they are not the only player in town, seriously.

Pick up trucks. Mounted machine bought separately. Easy to arm a militia. Now, if this is true, it should be clear that our country is becoming a geopolitical battle field. Somalis are the puppets. Alle-ow sidan noo dhaan.

^it will be investigated. Lessons will be learned. That's all. People 's lives are taken for next to nothing, little brawl is not a big deal. Untwist your knickers.

Caasimada online said this and that is all the news you post. Read more news outlets to balance it out. Bariiskiisii uu ciid iskaga shuba.

Yeah right.

Puntlandi.com says it all. Balaayo doon baa tahay ee shartaada horey u mood

Insha Allah everything will conclude peacefully. It's good to flex your muscles when fools don't get peacefully resolving issues.

Waar Dubboow, Dubbe madaxa kaw kaga sii cayayaanka.

Desperate tactics. Soomaali du waxay tiraa, 'nin biyo qaadeen, xunbo cuskay '. Very befitting of Kenya. Kenyan state debt is out of control. Waa qarash doon. Chinese are very close to taking over Mombasa port (indebted them to the tilts, now it's time to make them squeal).

Why is he using a derogatory western coined term 'regime ' when he's referring to the current Somali administration? He clearly said, he advised Swan to take charge of Somali national elections? Hmm?

One of few things: 1. Disgruntled 2. Too big for his own boots. 3. Or simply falling apart (watatacow)

Waa kicin shacab. Trying to appeal to the dark side of Somali psyche, qabyaalad. Laakiin he is only digging himself deep into a political chasm. They (opposition groupings) are all, almost all of them, have a taken a page from a very nasty, cynical political play book. It's as though they're all advised by the same pundits. No political evolution.

Matag! Unfortunately, he reflects society today. He shouldn't be anywhere near parliament let alone being a parliamentarian.

^its not about who sent them to train, it is about maintenance and structure not to mention their salaries. Give credit where credit is due. Hasan Sheikh said it clearly that 'if you are soldier and not happy with $100, Leave' or something to that effect. Insha Allah, it will be even better as a state without its security forces cannot be viable.

Whose narrative do we, Africans, go with. That of the TNZ govt or the whites? Heart problems or Covid? God knows. He seemed an individual who wanted to affect positive change in his country if, as some said, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and decided on the course he did, fair play to him. It's always of paramount importance that one does what he/she believes to be right within reason.

^Sometimes one has to take a decision for the greater good. Spoilers made elections almost impossible, in that case, they shouldn't be allowed to hold the country to ransom. The strategy seems 'weaken spoilers' strength & show them that they can't stop will of the majority of parliamentarians '. Way to go.

Apparently, the parliament is convening or considering this matter. I say, why not? If there's a stalemate in getting the elections to be held, for the sake of continuity (not for the current admin's sake) and avoiding power vacuum which can potentially be destructive, I say maintain the status quo. Let's all hope that a year or so is enough for the self surving Somali political elite to come up with a solution. Till then, an extension doesn't sound the end of the world as paint it to be.

Shacabku waa dad wanaagsan. Tuugada, qowleysata ah ee siyaasiyiin isku sheega ah (current crop) weeye dhibku. Now the solution is to find the patriotic group from within to turn the current.

Then again Alle baan u baryayaa in Xaqqa ku hanuuniyo.

There's reading and then there's reading. Reading was supposed to broaden your mind but it seems, in your thought process, you are not capable of seeing beyond your nose, so to speak. Look at you now equating building a strong Somali army to a bygone era (kacaan) and the bogeyman. I don't what your beef is with the current administration in Xamar but we all need a united strong Somali state. If you have a vendetta against Farmaajo please don't forsake the Socmaal to the wolves (contractors and multinationals not to mention hostile states) Now go and read on Sayid Maxamed, A med Gurey, Addal sultanate and Ujuuraan empire to top up your diminished pride in Soomaalinimo. Madaxa ciida ka celi waryaa!

Whatever it takes for a strong unified Somali state that has the ability to safeguard territorial integrity of the republic and peaceful coexistence of all of her citizens. Not too much to ask, is it? If it takes controlled violence with predefined goals and strategies to achieve that, I'm okay with it. It's the end that justifies the means.

It has been 30 years, when are Somalis going this chapter to bed? If we rubber stamp every intention to rid this country of jackals and traitors as Barre-sque, then we will not move an inch. Rather than name calling, look at the intention. This surgical removal of Madoobe and Deni (tumors) is D block on D block, so there is no worry of wider conflict if it's conducted a la Ethiopia (on Tigray). And remember, once they realise militarily they cannot either defend or defeat well spirited, equipped Somali forces, I guarantee you, they will either run or give in. They don't have popular support to speak of. You have to understand that peace is always the best option but that's not always the case. If your very existence as people with dignity is on the line, one must take any possible means to that end.

I think once they're detached, all if them traitors should be either imprisoned or shot for treason. They should be made an example for traitors to come.
