Good job Ilhan for voting against this.

Do you believe that? They are not going anywhere saxib. They have jobs and a comfortable life in Somaliland.

Hopefully, the Hijabi girl makes a good effort to learn Somali while living in Somaliland.

I think some reports already said Alshabab is active in the Awdal mountains

That is a very interesting deflection. Bomb Yemen to the stone age, but come to the rescue of the gassed Syrians.

Trump's will lose if the economic situation in America deteriorates. For now, he is probably going to get another term. His crazy moves are not bothering most whites. He is delivering big on the things they care about.

Madoobe is a devil ummadda loo soo diray. Condolences to Reer Yaroow who have to deal with the bones of their dead relatives desecrated.

As many people said many times, OO is just here to defend his Tigray clan like many Somalis defend their clan. I've never seen him disrespect our core values or Somali people in any way. He is a very civilized person. Telling the truth about past events is not a insult. We have to learn how to hear other opinions without isolationism.

That is crazy. Compare that to the dirty little red carpets Somali politicians spread around dusty air strips.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear the Russians are interested.

Let us move forward.

Could the MPs from Somaliland have any motive other than to harm other Somalis? Could they be genuine patriots who wish to see a united, prospering Somalia without bloodshed? As Somali MPs, are they allowed to have their own opinion on the clownish dispute in Mogadishu and side with group they think is helping the country in the long run?

I am not a fan of Jawaari, but it seems Kheyre is the man in control of Villa Somalia. Farmaajo has been reduced to the role of a hiding figurehead. This would be the time to lay the ground rules and get hands dirty if you are the president, but Farmaajo is missing in action again. We know Kheyre is a very ambitious guy, but it is the job of the President to be the elder and not let the situation involving his PM get out of hand. This is a humiliation for all patriotic Somalis.

Jawaari is the most corrupt speaker you could find. How many good PMs did he get rid of using the failed parliament. Mooshin this, mooshin that is all he understands. The irony is that the same mooshin is going to get rid of him.

Suldaanka, that would also disadvantage the smaller communities, would it not? There has to be a hybrid system for true democratic representation.

Don't divorce.

It seems some Somalilanders are doing everything to alienate and attack Turkey. I never understood what the sudden enmity towards Turkey is about. It doesn't serve the interest of Somaliland. Turkey is a very important nation and Somaliland should keep it close.

Escalation.

France's president on Thursday assured the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of Paris' support to stabilise northeastern Syria against Islamic State, and Kurdish officials said he had committed to sending troops to the region. Emmanuel Macron has been criticized at home over his response to a Turkish military operation against YPG militants. The group makes up a large portion of the SDF, which have been at the forefront of the U.S.-led coalition's strategy to defeat the hard-line militants. Macron met earlier for the first time with a delegation that included the YPG, which Turkey is trying to sweep away from its border, its political arm the PYD, and Christian and Arab officials. "The president ... paid tribute to the sacrifices and the determining role of the SDF in the fight against Daesh," Macron's office said in a statement. "He assured the SDF of France's support for the stabilization of the security zone in the north-east of Syria, within the framework of an inclusive and balanced governance, to prevent any resurgence of Islamic State." Former president Francois Hollande, who originally approved French support for the Kurds, bemoaned on March 23 Macron's Syria policy, in particular his attitude to the YPG, accusing him of abandoning them. Ankara considers the YPG to be an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the state within Turkey. France, like the United States, has extended arms and training to the YPG-led militia in the fight against Islamic State, and has dozens of special forces based in the region, which has infuriated Turkey. Turkey stormed the northern Syrian town of Afrin last week, and has repeatedly threatened to push its operations further east to Manbij where U.S. troops are stationed. Speaking to Reuters after the meeting with Macron, Khaled Eissa, a PYD member who represents the northern Syria region in Paris, said Macron had promised to send more troops to the area, provide humanitarian assistance and push a diplomatic solution. "There will be reinforcements to help secure from attacks by Islamic State and stop a foreign aggression," he said, referring to Turkey. "It's message that this irresponsible action from the Islamists in Ankara stops." The French presidency declined to comment on whether Paris was sending troops. However, it said in the statement that Macron was offering to mediate between the two sides given that the SDF had distanced itself from the PKK. "Acknowledging the commitment of the SDF to have no operational link with this terrorist group ... he (Macron) hopes that a dialogue could be established between the FDS and Turkey with France and the international community's help," it said. Macron spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday about the situation in northern Syria.

That is freaking expensive. It is better to take a bus to Hargeisa and fly from there. You save $US 280 minus the cost of the bus.
