    What about PLers closely supporting, or being silent silent? Or even advocating for SL

     

    The only person I have seen waving the Israeli flag is our friend Xaaji. It appears that, in terms of local politics and alliances, Cirro and Deni are very close these days. However, the broader population outside of Somaliland still opposes secession and certainly does not support waving the Israeli flag. 


  2. President Trump is facing increasing criticism over his attacks against Somali immigrants, particularly in Minnesota.

    In recent weeks, the president has blasted the Somali population, stating “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota.” During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump went after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), calling her “garbage.” He also said that he didn’t want Somali immigrants in the U.S. and that Somalia “stinks.”

    “I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you, OK,” the president said. “Somebody said that’s not politically correct. I don’t care.”

    “His obsession with me is creepy. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs,” Omar responded on the social platform X Wednesday.

    Omar, who earned her U.S. citizenship 25 years ago after escaping a civil war in Somalia as a child, also told The Hill’s sister network NewsNation on Tuesday, that the Somalis “are not, and I am not, someone to be intimidated, and we are not going to be scapegoated.”

    “We are here to stay,” she said.


  3. What is the animosity between the Djibouti and Awdal clans? Are they not brother clans who are pretty close economically, culturally and geographically? Is the issue a simple clan fued as is common among most somali clans, or is the hatred much deeper that one clan would sacrifice the other for Habesha enslavement?

  4. Loans are given if the lender feels confident you have the means and the will to pay it back. Ethiopia is slowly seen as a failed state and a bomb waiting to explode. Even China, which has heavily invested already, is closing factories to minimize damage. 

    Abiy miscalculated. 


  5. Must have been qabyaalad selection of the most shameful. Most Somalis back home are desperate to cut corners to achieve glory for self and for clan without lifting a single finger. The entire nation normalized failure as "caadi waaye nooh". 

    • Haha - That was funny. You made me laugh! 1

  6. The western media is pushing the narrative that Putin is weakened and humiliated now that he neutralized the situation. If any other western leader did what Putin did, he would be called a hero, a peace maker and a man who prevented bloodshed and civil war in his country. 

    Oh the double standard.
