Final cleaning operation of air-ground in Miiraale.

There re a few resources of value. If you want to get the insight from outsiders' perspective, read the autobiographies of Erich Honecker, former Chancellor of East Germany, and Fidel Castro of Cuba, representing Warsaw, put in charge of ending the war. Both speak in great details of S Barre's frame of mind and follies. Here is an excerpt: https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/transcript-meeting-between-east-german-leader-erich-honecker-and-cuban-leader-fidel-castro From the US perspective, declassified papers at hte US Congress library details the beginning and ending of the war. From the Somali perspective, the BBC Somali Service has prepared a historical programme on the war, the like of Xaaji, Ducaale, Cawke and others participated in its narration. You could request it from the BBC. There are two very good interviews by Cali Samatar & A/llahi Yusuf discussing how the war evolved, early victories, and subsequent failures. Galaal also discussed it in interviews, but his take is marred in dishonesty and lack of clarity, besides he was a useful tool for S Barre, and not in the same class as other Sr military officials. Many of his claims had been refuted. Nor was he the sharpest tool in the shed. Find those works, and you will have a much clearer picture and better understanding of the war. Said interviews are on yt.

She is the Lord Mayor (a ceremonial position), and not the Mayor (an elected position with Executive powers). Good nonetheless.

A number of factors to consider: - Xasan is not serious about fighting al shabab, for his core support base is al shabab-related greatly benefiting from its presence, - Al shabab is well assimilated in and deeply embedded in Banadir (Xamar, Sh Dhexe, and Sh Hose), - There are no Sr army Commanders in charge of the fight, Xasan wants to manage it from the back of a notebook, drafted by his kids, and has no military training nor experience, - Maturity of State institutions and agencies plays a major role in that in PL institutions and agencies are operating independent of the Office of the President whilst coordination flows. Good examples are: a) Ministries of Health, where Qoorsheel is in charge of logistics and supplies incl. medical care, attendance to troops needs on the ground, and looking after the wounded even those cared for abroad. b) Juxa at the Interior is in charge of mobilising the public, coordinating contributions to the Central Command. c) Defence under a team of former Sr Generals led by Gen. Indhayare are in charge of war strategy, troops rotation, which I hear is on a rota with no unit at the front more than a few days. Without divulging much, communication between Deni and army Commanders flows symmetrically at the strategic level, where Commanders and Jr Officers leading at the front are in sync at the technical level. This is not the case under Xasan's army. Have you ever heard of the relevant institutions or agencies engaged in the al shabab war? Have you ever witnessed public awareness or support being raised even in Xamar, let alone the rest of the country? - As people, reer PL are more organised, better structured, and culturally more cohesive, the opposite is true in the South, - The opposition filed behind Deni & army Commanders, did not question or second-guess their intent or Command, so is not true in the South, where many are closely collaborating with al shabab, - General public support in PL is much different from the South, the entire State moved at once in one direction during the campaign, so did the Diaspora. A few factors to consider as to the why.

Historic Visit by Somali Prime Minister to Lasanod In an unprecedented move, Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre arrived today in Lasanod, the capital of Sool region in northern Somalia, becoming the first high-ranking federal official to visit the city, which has long been a hotspot for regional tensions. During his visit, Barre met with local leaders and community representatives, reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to enhancing security and supporting development projects in the area. The visit comes after years of disputes between the federal government and the self-declared breakaway region of Somaliland, which expressed concern that this step may be an attempt to undermine its influence. In 2023, Lasanod witnessed violent protests that left many dead and displaced thousands, due to clashes between supporters of the federal government and those aligned with the separatist administration—turning the city into a symbol of political challenges in the Sool region. The Somali National News Agency described the visit as having "significant symbolic and political implications," highlighting its aim to restore trust between the central government and the regions. Many residents of Lasanod welcomed the visit, seeing it as a step toward national unity, while others warned it could exacerbate tensions if not followed by concrete actions. If the visit succeeds in building bridges with local communities, the region could witness relative stability and renewed dialogue. However, the success of the visit—which sends a clear message of marginalization to the Somaliland administration—ultimately depends on practical efforts to advance reconciliation and development in the coming months. https://x.com/khaledmahmoued1/status/1911001360520139120
