Who is Fahad Yasin, the New Farah Sakin of Villa Somalia? Fahad Yaasiin Xaaji Daahir, Agaasimaha Guud ee Xarunta Madaxtooyada Somaliya, ayaa waxaa loo aqoonsaday shakhsiga keliya ee ka amarka sareeya Madaxweynaha Somaliya, Maxamed C/laahi Farmaajo & Ra’iisal Wasaaraha Xukuumadda, Xasan Cali Khayre. Fahad Yaasiin, ayaa door weyn ka cayaaray guushii uu Madaxweyne Farmaajo ka gaaray doorashadii xafiiska madaxtooyada, ee 8-dii bishii February ka dhacday Magaalada Muqdisho, isagoona xiriir dhow la leh Dowladda Qatar. Qorshaha Villa Somalia oo ahaa in Fahad Yaasiin uu dusha uun kala socdo siyaasadda dowladda, ayaa markeliya laga war helay wareegto daba-yaaqadii bishii May uu soo saaray Madaxweynaha Somaliya, isla-markaana uu ninkaasi ugu soo magacaabay inuu noqdo Agaasimaha Guud ee Villa Somalia. Fahad Yaasiin, ayaa billihii June & July diray fariimo xasaasi ahaa, ka dib markii uu si saf mareen ah uu Villa Somalia uga eryay xubno si dhow uga soo shaqeeyay ololihii doorashada madaxtinimada ee Farmaajo. Xubnahaasi ayaa qaarkood ku beel ahaa Farmaajo. Ilo wareedyo, ayaa sheegaya in Madaxweynuhu uu shakhsiyaadkaasi ugu cudurdaartay inaanu ka horimaan karin Fahad Yaasiin, isagoo ka cararaya inuu ku mano sheegto gacan qabadkiisii. Fahad Yaasiin, ayaa tallaabo kale oo layaab gelisay Golaha Wasiirada iyo Xildhibaanada Baarlamaanka qaarkood ku dhaqaaqay horaantii bishan, markii uu ku amray inay isaga guuraan Qasriga Madaxtooyada. Wasiiradan iyo Xildhibaanadan oo si dhow loola xiriiriyo Madaxweynaha & Ra’iisal Wasaaraha, ayaa ka codsaday inay kala hadlaan Fahad Yaasiin, si ay ugu sii nagaadan Madaxtooyada, ha yeeshee ay u sheegeen inay sii deganaan karaan, illaa iyo inta ay u guurayan goobo kale oo amni ah. Ninkani oo xiriir dhow la leh Madaxda Dowladda Qatar qaarkood, ayaa sidoo kale yareeyay dhaq dhaqaaqyadii ka jiray Madaxtooyada Somaliya, iyadoo uu adkeeyay ogolaanshaha lagu soo geli karo. Dadkii isaga daba laalaaban jiray Madaxtooyada waxay hadda ku sheegayan in sheekadaasi ay soo idlaatay. Cali C/laahi Cosoble, Madaxweynihii Hirshabelle ee kalsoonida lagala laabtay oo laba toddobaad ka hor Magaalada Muqdisho u tagey, talo uu Madaxda Qaranka u waday oo ahayd in dib looga fiirsado mowqifka dhexdhexaadnimada ee Somaliya ka qaadatay xiisadda ka jirta Khaliijka, ayaa la soo wariyay inuu ku dhego hadlay Fahad Yaasiin. Cosoble oo dareensan in mowqifkaasi loo qaatay Fahad Yaasiin dartii, ayaa ku baaqay in danta dalka iyo dadkaba aan laga horumarin shillimaadka uu ninkaasi ka helo Xukuumadda Doha. Fahad oo ka gilgishay hadalka Cosoble, ayaa galaangal u yeeshay in maalmo yar gudahood uu kursiga kaga tuuro Cosoble, isagoo u sii maraya xafiiska xukuumadda. Ilo wareedyo, ayaa ku waramaya in Farmaajo & Khayre aanu midkoodna ka horimaan karin go’aanada keli talisnimada leh, ee uu gaarayo Amiirkooda riigeystay Villa Somalia. Ilo wareedyadan waxay kaloo sheegayan in Fahad Yaasiin uu isu arko Amiir Carbeed oo milkiyay maamulkii dowladnimo ee Somaliya Mudadii yareyd uu ninkani ku magacownaa Agaasimaha Guud ee Aqalka Madaxtooyada, ayay ugu suurtagashay in shakhsiyaad ku saf ahi uu ka hawlgeliyo xafiisyada Farmaajo & Khayre, iyagoona u soo dusiya xoggaha ku aadan shaqada qaranka. Iyadoo aan la garanayn cidda uu ninkani sirta qaranka u gudbiyo, ayaa waxaa la leeyahay hawl-yari buu ku helaa farriimaha ku soo dhaca warqabadka labada xafiis, sidoo kalena uu xogtoodu hayo fariimaha laga diro emailada xafiisyadaasi. Warar ay heleyso Damqo.com, ayaa sheegaya in ninkani uu maalintii dhawr jeer Madaxweynaha kala soo hadlo teleefanadiisa, xilli ay ku wada sugan yihiin Villa Somalia, isla-markaana uu waqtigiisa muhiimka ahi kaga lumiyo wax lagu sheegay yool baar. Inkastoo Madaxda Qaranka ay u muuqdaan kuwo aan Villa Somalia ka eryi karin Fahad Yaasiin, ayaa waxaa hadana la leeyahay in cidda keliya ay ka hor wareejin karto ay yihiin Xildhibaanada Baarlamaanka. Xildhibaanada ku caanka baxay inay mooshinada ka keenaan Madaxweynaha & Ra’iisal Wasaaruhuba, ayaa waxaa dow noqon laheyd in markani ay mooshin qaranka ku hor dhaafiyaan ninka Warbaahinta ka carara misena rikaateeyay hoggaankii dalka.

From what the above piece says, there is some thuggish behaviour leading to the raid that killed innocent guards.

Che, I think most of you who support this move mean well. But we need to think with our head and not be driven by emotions. The opposition team was plotting to bring down the government through the parliamentary process. It is no secret they want to sack Farmaajo's government and vote him out of office through the existing corrupt parliament. There was never an intention to violently attack the government. Why does that kind of political power-play warrant military intervention and the death of young men? If we are genuine about moving the country forward, I think the above question is the real question that needs to be answered by those who support Farmaajo's ambush against the opposition leader.

This is what analysts call "overreach". In a fragile, clannish country, Farmaajo is treating it like the old days of Siyaad Barre regime.

The Oromos are merciless. What is Iley doing?

This is a terrible mistake. Why does Somaliland police need to beat up a comedian wadaad who praised Somaliland (upsetting many of his supporters) and was only there to see his own kids in Hargeisa?

Don't mislead people. No one supports Kheyre and Farmajo to raid and kill. The government didn't have to turn this into a killing exercise. That is the job of the terrorist Alshabab.

Will Aynte be arrested? He's been criticizing the government for a while.

Political violence is not the answer. If this guy dies, how does that help Farmaajo and Kheyre run the country? They should have ignored them meelahooda haka qayliyaane.

I was surprised when she told her heavily armed guards to fight back if attacked on her way to Buuhoodle.

I am surprised the village has paved roads. Beauty.

Foreign countries run the entire country and are guarding the president. It is not a valid argument. The Turkey camp (which I support) can fight hard democratically and defeat the opposition camp through normal process, but Kheyre and Farmaajo shouldn't just order blanket arrests even if the opposition camp is supported by a country that is not friendly to Turkey in today's geopolitical game. I say Turkey because we know the UAE doesn't have any particular dislike or hatred towards Somalia or the Somali people. We are pawns of a bigger geopolitical game. This arrest doesn't solve Somalia's problem. The parliament will now be more divided. I strongly disagree with the arrests.

Separation of groups could be a boon for the Somalis. The Oromos must be told to leave every inch of Somali region and that may not be a bad thing. What I am worried about is that if the Oromo ever takeover power (PM ), they may come back to unfinished business in the Somali region and slowly displace our people using government resources.

Can anyone list and tell the gallery what crime Adbishakur and Umar Halwayste committed other than trying to impeach Farmaajo's government through normal democratic process? So what if they criticize Farmaajo's government daily or organize "mooshin" for the parliament to bring down the government based on what they perceive as government's incompetence to run the country? What is wrong with attacking the government through the media and even being relentless in a peaceful process? We need to give up on the Siyadist mentality. This undemocratic arrest of opposition lawmakers is more than farcical. We don't need a new clan war.

Bad move. This will only alienate more people. Culusoow had strong opposition and he never arrested anyone.

The arrival of social media in conservative Somalia has prompted the rise of smart, educated, activists who have become champions for the voiceless. However, the medium has also led to the emergence of a different class of people: extremists of all classes—religious fanatics and clannish hatemongers, misfits, charlatans, and sociopaths. Not a week goes by without someone going viral. The recent sensation is Malyun Ali Feer, who refers to herself simply as M. M. S (Mama Malyun Suuban). She pronounces her nickname like a rapper promoting her album and then adds, “BAM!” The phenomenon of Mama Malyun on social media is unique and interesting. She is articulate, funny, mentally agile, and outspoken. She is pretty, gregarious, and radiant. That is not only my opinion—it’s hers, too. She looks good on screen, is in good shape, and does not shy away rubbing a cream on her face and hands as she tapes her videos. In fact, she has a side business selling that very brand of cream, and she uses her videos to promote it. For Somali men who constantly approach her, she has a penchant for blocking them from her Facebook and deriding them for being nuisance. “Waryaa (hey, you), you are not my type,” she bellows. She does not conceal her age. ‘I am 52, single, and not interested in a relationship,” she said. She explains she has had enough relationships to last a lifetime. Mama Malyun knows what kind of man she wants. “I will test him,” she says, “and ask him about his credit score, honesty, hygiene, health, education, and whether or not he is clannish.” If you have a bankruptcy on your record, that is a major red flag to her and you need not to apply. Mama Malyun’s videos are full humor, sarcasm, songs, and a bit of self-promotionof . She does little to hide her disdain of men who are irresponsible deadbeats. She advises women to exit humdrum marriages. Her first video, which put her on the map, drew howls of outrage because she said she had been married 13 times. “No, wait a minute,” she suddenly paused as though her memory was failing. ”It is actually 15 husbands. I forgot two guys.” Then, she turned to the camera and scolded her audience to learn math. Now, how many men or women would go publicly and declare the dozens of spouses that they had in their lifetime? Not many, I suppose. Mama Malyun has no qualms about marrying many men. Apparently, she does not crumble at night in self-pity and despair. She talks openly about her marriages and admits she had a dizzying ride of ups and downs. Some of her marriages started with a sizzle and ended with a fizzle. She gushes about the ones who were good to her, while chronicling those who owe her dowry money, and the ones who took her money and vanished. Some ex-husbands, of course, left traces in her heart—not all her husbands were bad. What is unique about Mama Malyun is that she has listed the clans of the men she married. The majority of them are her clan, Darod, and 10 are Majertein, her sub-clan. The other two were Hawiye and Isaaq respectively. She jokes that her marriage to the Hawiye (Murursade) guy means that she is the sister-in-law of Prime Minister Hassan Kheyre, and she laments that she had not married a Marehan, the president’s clan. The Isaaq man is the father of her son and she proudly announces that she is, in essence, a Somalilander. There goes the 4.5 clan power structure in Somalia! Her ex-husbands only cover three of the five clan groupings. Missing, of course, are the Digil/Mirifle and Beesha Shanaad. It is their misfortune that they did not make it on the vaunted list. Or perhaps, they dodged a bullet. Who knows how Mama Malyun would have castigated them? Mama Malyun did something that gave many Somali men a bit of whiplash: She named several ex-husbands, and posted their pictures, mentioned their clans, places of employment, and residences. One is a famous former reporter of the Voice of America (VOA). These men had allegedly crossed her and she is adamant to expose them. To her admirers, she is a ruthless, single-minded, woman who is exposing injustice and abuse. To her critics, she is a tornado wreaking havoc. “I don’t care what people say,” Mama Malyun quips. Mama Malyun on a 100-dollar bill Mama Malyun’s constant message is to expose bad husbands. In her recent videos, she has adopted a campaign of a gender equality. On her Facebook page, she says she is an advocate for Somali families and the rights of women and children. Her message is clear: Men have to stop marrying women and then leaving them for no reason. “Any man who divorces a woman,” she declares, “is nothing but the butt of a burned cigarette.” She is troubled by the large number of single mothers in the diaspora. “Where are their men?” she roars. Women need help in raising their children, she says, because they can’t do it by themselves. She is quick to note that she is a single mom, her daughter is a single mom, and her late mother was a single mom. “That’s wrong,” she explains. Women have to speak up even if Somali men abhor it, she pleads. She wants women to stop hiding men’s egregious abandonment, neglect, and abuse. Communication is the key to a successful relationship, she preaches. She wants women to ask themselves if the men in their lives are smart or liars, or are they good providers or deadbeats? The ones who are awful, she reiterates, must be exposed. When Sheikh Mohamoud Shibli, a leading cleric based in Kenya, advised men to engage in polygamy and not to heed the pleas of women who oppose the practice, Mama Malyun was so piqued she nearly exploded in fury. Shibli had the audacity to advise men to hide the passwords of their cellphones and computers from women. “That is wrong,” Mama Malyun said. Then, she dissolved into tears and made the necessary parameters of the spousal relationship clear: Love, care, fairness, and gentleness, are paramount. Although Mama Malyun talks about the clans of the men she married, she is quick to denounce clannism. She urges her listeners to expunge tribalism from their hearts and lives. She claims she is the perfect example as she had married many men from three different clans when most women only marry within their own clan. In a nutshell, Mama Malyun is a compelling personality who wants to be heard loud and clear. Her message is a blend of feminism—broadly conceived—and an indictment of men who fail women. She wants to exercise her free speech, educate women, and advocate on their behalf. Her reception on social media has been mixed: There was an explosion of joy on one side and recrimination on the other. In other words, many have rallied around her, while others have vilified her. However, she will not be dissuaded. The more women speak up, says Mama Malyun, the better it is for them and their children. Then, in an Obama-like exuberance, she chants, “Yes, we can.” BAM!
