Ilhan's strategy is working. She won the day. It is better to be a lion for a day than to live like a bisad for years. She is shaking things up and is creating a cult of a personality. I say Ilhan need to keep moving. Push the limits Ilhan, without exposing yourself too openly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something tells me Mr. Bihi is poised to take advantage of Puntland's sad current situation.

I hope this is fake news.

Old Observer, why is Ilhan going to Eritrea? I can understand she wants to visit other Horn countries before Somalia to avoid the charge of dual loyalty, but why Eritrea? The Eritrean lobby in DC is strong I guess.

Impressive.

Absolutely. It is time to bring an end to the political dominance of the failed Southern groups. Somalia needs a change of direction. It needs a great hero.

The Jewish lobby is demanding another new apology from her. It is a campaign, but she is not paying attention to the nonsense. Rep. Eliot Engel demands apology from Rep. Ilhan Omar, accusing her of ‘a vile anti-Semitic slur’ - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM Engel calls out Omar for a third anti-Semitic comment, alleging pro-Israel groups drive 'foreign allegiance.'

Best thing that @Abtigiishas done so far. The Somali people need development and progress to move away from this perpetual and medieval quarrel over nonsense. Abtigiis needs to push this project forward as far as he can.

If Mr. Bihi can't resolve this growing rebellion in Sanaag, he must resign and leave office. The man is incompetent.

In any other society, the top men are held responsible and must pay the price (resign or be ousted). In Somalia, the blame will always be with some boogeyman called Alshabab because that is waxa lagu qaraabto.

I am surprised it is only 48 months. There is a year missing.

After watching the video, listening to the voice of the presenter, I couldn't help but think about the article on how to become a dictator HOW TO BECOME A DICTATOR RULE #5 Create and defeat a common enemy. Dictatorships feed on wars and other external threats because these justify their existence. To attract support, the ruler must be perceived as a defender. Democratic rulers find this tactic more difficult to adopt because most wars are unpopular with voters. This is actually from Phychology Today website. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” — Winston Churchill

Smart move that allows him to govern longer and survive attacks from the Amhara.

It is very obvious Mr. Bihi was desperate for any opportunity to meet with Abiy.

Too many of these roam around Mogadishu. Somali Wild Dog

Why don't the Oromos like the term Galla, I wonder.

I said it before. She is going to continue. This is the beginning. There is no point in sitting behind the rows silent and irrelevant. You might as well use the limelight while you have it and create a name for yourself. For the President of the United States to be uttering her name and attacking her rounds up the cruel irony. The little refugee Somali girl is that powerful because she refused to stay quiet or be dismissed. Well done Ilhan!!!!

Doesn't say much, to be honest.

It is getting bad for Mr. Bihi. He has a legitimacy problem.

The only areas surveyed through actual exploration is in Puntland and Somaliland. All other claims are based on pure conjecture.
