Suldaanka, you and Mr. Oodwayne definitely disagree. Oodwayne confirmed the last election was a rigged election.

^^ I totally agree. Egypt should stay out of our affairs.

Honestly, this is a good news. Qalbidhagax's family and many of the other prisoners will be overjoyed. This will be a big embarrassment for Farmaajo's government. Karma of the highest proportions.

That is what happens when the paper printing machines don't stop.

Aameen. Let us know how things turn out Sis.

Tallaabo, Johnny B, made an appeal knowing a good Samaritan would come to the rescue and help him out. It turns out, Ngonge long became a facebook dad, monitoring his teenage kids' social media. But Johnny, instead of acknowledging his old friend who took great risk leaving the kids unattended on social media, ghosted him 100%.

Oromo hope for a swift takeover is slowly evaporating. Unless there is a new development, the diaspora promoted Lema becoming the PM is out of the question for now. Addis Ababa is going by its daily business.

Cabdisalaan has become relentless in his pursuit to advocate for Somali union.

Some already argue Somaliland has always been doing that. Tallaabo, when Somaliland supporters speak like that, it only gives credence to above nonsense rumors. Using extremist monsters like Al-shabab who blow up 500 innocent civilians at a time without any cause is not something to even bring up to settle a score with the federal government.

Out of 5000 Somalis in Libya, only 11 took the offer to come back to Mogadishu. The rest would rather be slaves than come back.

DEG DEG: Dowladda Farmaajo oo 4000 oo Askari ka qoranaysa duleedka magaalada Burco Wararka Warsidaha Puntlandnews.net uu haatan ka helayo magaalada Burco ee xarunta gobolka Togdheer ayaa sheegaya in dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ay ka bilowday deegaano hoos taga magaalada Burco qorista ciidamadii ugu badnaa abid. Deegaanada ciidamadani laga qorayo ayaa waxaa kamid ah degmada Buuhoodle ee gobolkaasi Togdheer iyo sidoo kale deegaanada ku hareeraysan, iyadoona hirgelinta qorshahani ay masuul ka yihiin shakhsiyaad kasoo jeeda deegaankaasi kuwaas oo xilal kala duwan ka haya dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya. Madaxweyne Maxamed Cabdullaahi Farmaajo iyo Ra’iisal wasaare Xasan Cali Khayre ayaa isku af gartay in ugu yaraan 5000 oo Askari laga qoro deegaanada Buuhoodle, kuwaas oo qayb ka noqon doona xoojinta amaanka dalka iyo sidoo kale hawlgelinta nidmaanka dowladdnimo oo sanadkani xukuumadda federaalka Soomaaliya ay wada qorshaysay in ay gaadhsiiso guud ahaanba dalka Soomaaliya. Dhanka kale warar hoose oo ay heshay Puntlandnews.net ayaa tibaaxaya in ciidamadani ay qayb ka ahaan doonaan dhismaha maamul cusub oo loo dhisi doono dhawaan deegaanada Sool, Sanaag iyo Buuhoodle kaas oo ay qayb ka tahay dhismihiisa dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya, kadib markii hogaamiyaasha dhaqanka deegaanadaasi iyo madaxda dowladduba ay isla af garteen qorshaha dhismaha maamulkaasi cusub.

The latest is that Puntland is getting ready for a war in Tukaraq.

Oodweyne, we all know what image people are trying to conjure up when they use the term qadaadweyn. I was expecting you to admit the proximity but pass it off as "kaftan-rageed". I never expected you would cover-up its meaning.

Appointing Lema the PM is tantamount to giving him a reward for killing innocent Somalis in Awaday. I am sure there are other decent Oromo candidates out there that the ruling elite can choose from. Lema is a stooge of the expansionist elements within the OLF. He is by no means a unifying character.

Hello rudy.

You often hear the new generation of Somalilanders disseminating terms such as "qadaad-weyn" and what not against other Somalis, particulary Southern Somalis. It is ironic that the ignorant description Richard Burton used to describe the people he saw in British Somaliland in the mid 1800s is being regurgitated and used against other Somalis. In personal appearance the race is not unprepossessing (not particularly attractive or appealing to the eye). The crinal hair is hard and wiry, growing, like that of a half-caste West Indian, in stiff ringlets which sprout in tufts from the scalp, and, attaining a moderate length, which they rarely surpass, bang down. The jaw, however, is almost invariably prognathous and African; the broad, turned-out lips betray approximation to the Negro; and the chin projects to the detriment of the facial angle.

Thank you Oodweyne. I will try to find that article. You were not joking when you said you walked the walk.

Thanks for clarifying. You are correct. There are always internal enemies willing to do the bidding for foreigners. I am surprised Mengistu is still agitating things behind the scenes. Why didn't the TPLF hunt him down in Zimbabwe? He starved 1 million people and got away with it.

OO, what would an Oromo or Amhara PM gain out of stopping a project that would create income for the central government? The construction money is already spent so there is not much spending-cut to be gained by halting GERD at its advanced stage. You not giving us the details?

Oodweyne, can you post here the article you wrote for former President of Somaliland when you were his speechwriter in 1991?

How did Peter Tatchell get involved in lobbying work for Somaliland?

What if Mr. Biixi decides he wants to get a piece of the action through multinationals? At the end of the day Sanaag is still part of Somaliland.

Galbeedi just went for a 3-week vacation in Europe and Africa. He has been talking about it for a while in other threads.

Saalax, what is the update on the Sanaag gold project? Will professional mining be allowed in the area?

Why would any Ethiopian government (Oromo or otherwise) cancel a future cash cow for the government?
