When will the new Somali musicians drop the fake programmed keyboard sounds and go back to the original guitar, trumpet, drums used by talented musicians?

Farmaajo seems to fancy the Ethipia/Ertirea axis more than the Uganda/Brunundi bunch.

Rooboow is out or is about to be out.

14 hours ago, Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar said:Cadnaan, widaay waa i kan. Howshii ayaa iga badatay. About afduubkii iyo subsequent xulashadii ka dhacday Baydhabo, qof walba maankiisa shaqeynaayo wuu arkay meesha inay xataa xulasho ka dhicin laakiin loogu shubay qof gaar ah.
Unlike other maamul goboleed, Koonfur Galbeed under the leadership of Shariif Xasan did not have a sufficient army of their own. Shariifka did not create one, never intended to create one. His sub-clan are traditionally non-armed and he didn't trust other clans in Koonfur Galbeed, the few guards and militias keeping in check were his reer abti, Rooboow's clan.
However, Koonfur Galbeed had ciidamo booliis ah, controlled by Laftagareen's adeer and father-in-law, Gaashaanle Mahad C/raxmaan Aaden. These police forces waxaa biilo Qaramada Midoobay, loona soo mariyo dowladda dhexe.
There were also ciidamo militari based in Koonfur Galbeed, for Gedo, Bakool and Baay. But those soldiers wages were paid by again dowladda dhexe, for dowladda dhexe's military actions.
Shariifka wuxuu isku haleyn jiray Xabashada and used them against his political opponents. Alas, he never thought the same Xabashi would be used against him, which happened. This same Xabashi forces were used against Rooboow for their kidnapping and subsequent rendition of him to dowladda dhexe. Rooboow's little militia were no match for them. Even if they were no match, still wey shirqooleen, calling him a meeting for all the candidates and then Xabashi soldiers arresting him secretly when he arrived, while his militia were outside.
I had never seen Reer Koonfur Galbeed being this mad politically about what happened in Baydhabo - they were unanimously united against the actions by dowladda dhexe. Even those who were usually apolitical were furious. Reer Koonfur Galbeed qabiil xadaaradiisa ama qabyaalad been been kuma qaadaan because usually waa dad nabad jecel, wax walbana nabadda ayee ka hormarsiinayaan.
So ninkaan Laftagareen meesha la keenay hadduu sidii Shariifka ku socdo, for not creating a regionally self-sufficient army (which I believe he won't), then the same fate that befallen to Shariifka awaits him, while he has zero credibility, too.
This is second major political blunder dowladda dhexe committed after Qalbidhagax's disastrous rendition fiasco. However, having said all that, Soomaaliya iyo dowladeeda horumarkeeda waa Koonfur Galbeed horumarkeeda. Marka horaa loo soconayaa, regardless the little disagreements with dowladda dhexe. Guul ayaa leenahay Soomaaliya iyo dowladeeda. Soomaaliya does not need useless isqabqabsi now.
MMA, what happens to Roobow now? Is he going to be sent to Guantanamo? Reer Baydhabo are honest people. Roobow completely forgot that Famaajo and Kheyre will do anything for political survival.

Right on Oodweyne. Spoke like a true Somali nationalist. We must not allow Somali lands be robbed by the marauding Oromos. That tiny accomplishment may unfortunately define Abtigiis's legacy because of the situation the Somalis find themselves in at the moment.

He is a pass-master and a sheer "cold-calculator" of "his national interests", and he never allow himself to be taken-in by his "understandable feelings" of things (at any given moment) like the manner the long-time-dictator of Eritrea always acts. Given that dictator of Eritrea always acts in a rather impulsively and mercurially way, in most of the time, which is not what Mr Guelleh do.
Spot on. Ghuelleh is shrewd calculator waiting for the opportunity to spit on his enemies.

Oodweyne, the speech was a direct attack on the current occupant of that office, Mr. Gaas. It was joy to watch Mr Camey holding nothing back. Gaas is a failure in my opinion.

I am beginning to imagine Abtigiis is playing games with our SOL diplomat Oodweyne who is close with Mr. Bihi's inner circle. Abtigiis must be reading all of Oodweyne's posts and criticism. This is more than fascinating.

This is probably the most difficult period for Somaliland as far as diplomatic outreach/recognition is concerned? I don't think Somaliland ever experienced this before. The Horn is changing.

Yaab.
They were playing their Arab games and then Trump surprises them last minute.

A great campaign speech.

Who was he?

This can't be true.

The Qataris invested billions in Turkey. MBS is trying to take pressure off himself after that Khashogi murder fiasco. The two leaders are also close ideologically. MBS's tricks are obvious but will never work.

Suldaanka, that is a weird picture. Is that his child? What was the context he was getting cozy with the girl?

Clan elder/rep voting system is the closest thing to perfection in Somali doorasho system at this time. No one dies on election day and there is no dispute about walagu shubtay and other nonsense that leads to years of strive and instability. If it is not broken, don't fix it.

Nabad iyo Nolol is trying to play ball with Gaas I think.

Mr. Bihi is clearly not happy and he seems to have gained weight, probably due to stress.

Is Col. Caare taxing them?

Barwaaqo is a Somali supremacist who is deeply pragmatic. If someone can show her something that will greatly benefit the people of Somaliland, she will take it. Unfortunate, there is very little to see on the other side, but we are getting there.

The great thing is that they are battling fairly without bullets flying. It is a huge progress for the country. We need more of this.

Who is this candidate by the way? What is his name?

Soon every Somali politician will copy Kim Jung-Un
Hala kala barto.

Xaaji, when the State Department mentions Somalia, it is talking about the entire country including our beloved Somaliland. For the Yankees, the distinction is not there.
