  2. Significant development in Jubaland-FGS dispute: Jubaland President Madoobe and his cabinet have resolved to steer the region in the direction of greater autonomy from Mogadishu (similar to Puntland) In the communique: Jubaland demands direct dealings with international community. Says all international aid should be disbursed directly to Kismayo and not through Mogadishu. Calls for review of UN arms embargo suspension. Decries Mogadishu's 'weaponisation of aviation' and demands neutral and trusted agency to manage Somali airspace and aviation. https://x.com/RAbdiAnalyst/status/1877633262119469065

  4. Open shares: At a minimum, 20 shares with each share at $100, and 200 shares expected as the average share.
  5. With this plan coupled with its natural habitat, if implemented and managed correctly, with stability, and under the right leadership, and with an estimated 600,000 +/- IDPs, mostly of farming and rural background, the city and region could realise steady growth and development where Baydhaba could potentially be the next largest population hub in Somalia. City-wide plan: development framework, p.102 The Strategy was developed under the Saameynta (Impact in Somali) Programme, is a multi-year project aimed at promoting the sustainable integration of displaced communities in urban areas by empowering governments to leverage value generated by urbanization. Saameynta is a partnership of IOM, UNDP, UN-Habitat, supported and coordinated by the Integrated Office of the UN DSRSG/ RC/HC and endorsed by the Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development of the Federal Republic of Somalia. It is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Netherlands and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.” BaidoaCityStrategy.pdf

  12. On the question of secession, I'll argue Xasan & Co are seeking secession for the following reasons: a) Abandoning the Federal Charter, a political agreement by stakeholders, b) Unilaterally dumping the only legal document (Federal Constitution) intended to keep together a nation at war with itself and with its people, c) Unilaterally drafting a new Constitution of his own, d) Invading FMSs without any legal or constitutional grounds, To continue.
  13. It is highly unlikely Xasan will change course, as he is convinced he is on the right path, and his supporters are roaring him to keep it up. Hamza is rather naive by nature, with no experience in governance, or functions of state institutions. Dr Abib is reer Borama. Here he is in an interview earlier last year.

  16. MP Dr Abdillahi Hashi Abib Member of Foreign Affairs Committee-Member of the House of People of Somalia Ph.D. Representative of Gabileh District and Awdal State of Somalia Defending Transparency and Accountability: An Investigative Somalia – Turkey Agreements and Public Servant’s Pledge Despite constitutional mandates requiring transparency and legislative oversight, the President has consistently refused to disclose these agreements to the Council of Ministers, the Federal Parliament, or Somali citizens. Determined to uncover the truth, I have obtained critical documents from whistleblowers within the Villa Somalia Office of the Economic Advisor to the President. These documents include: Favori LLC Agreement Defense Agreement – (Due to Security Concerns will not be Published) Ziraat Bank - Certified Memorandum and Articles of Association submitted to the Central Bank of Somalia (CBS) Fisheries Concessions Petroleum Concessions These agreements, signed in secrecy, bypass essential oversight mechanisms and undermine the principle of accountability enshrined in Somali governance. I feel a profound moral obligation to share these documents with Somali citizens, allowing them to understand the decisions made on their behalf and to form their own judgments. To ensure a thorough and impartial review, I am hiring Somali lawyers based in Mogadishu to analyze these documents comprehensively. Their findings will form the foundation of investigative reports, which I will publish - alongside the full text of these agreements - on my public platforms, including Twitter. This transparency is critical to fostering trust and empowering Somali citizens to demand accountability from their government. My investigation has not been without challenges. I have received direct threats aimed at silencing me, but I refuse to be intimidated. The oath I swore and the values I hold dear compel me to continue this work. I owe it to the Somali people to shine a light on any attempts to compromise their sovereignty, resources, and future. This commitment is deeply personal. My late father, a staunch defender of justice and good governance for over 40 years, set a powerful example of integrity and courage. His unwavering stance against corruption and mismanagement continues to inspire me. Following in his footsteps, I am honored to carry forward his legacy by standing for truth, justice, and the rule of law without fear or compromise. Despite attempts to deter me, I have been heartened by the overwhelming support from Somali citizens who encourage and stand with me in this oversight mission. This collective determination strengthens my resolve to deliver on my responsibilities. Together, we will hold those in power accountable, ensuring that governance in Somalia aligns with the principles of transparency, legality, and public trust. Let this be a reminder that no one is above the law, and no agreement, policy, or action should ever be hidden from the people it affects. For the love of Somalia and its people, I will not stop until justice and accountability prevail. https://twitter.com/MPDrAbib/article/1875620033159708722

WHISTLEBLOWERS WITHIN VILLA SOMALIA PROVIDE SECRET TURKISH-SOMALIA SECURITY, BANKING, PETROLEUM & BUSINESS AGREEMENTS TO A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF SOMALIA MP Federal Government of Somalia MP Abdullahi Hashi Abib, renown for his nationalism and fight against corruption and nepotism, in a public letter posted on his X stated that he has “obtained critical documents from whistleblowers within the Villa Somalia Office of the Economic Advisor to the President.” He writes that “These documents include: Favori LLC Agreement, Defense Agreement – (Due to Security Concerns will not be Published), Ziraat Bank – Certified Memorandum and Articles of Association submitted to the Central Bank of Somalia (CBS), Fisheries Concessions, Petroleum Concessions.” WHISTLEBLOWERS WITHIN VILLA SOMALIA PROVIDE SECRET TURKISH-SOMALIA SECURITY, BANKING, PETROLEUM & BUSINESS AGREEMENTS TO A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF SOMALIA MP DALJIR.COM Federal Government of Somalia MP Abdullahi Hashi Abib, renown for his nationalism and fight against...
  18. Farah Ma'allim: It’s all so easy to understand the British/US/Ethiopian conspiracy to split up Somalia & create an unsustainable fake clan dominated enclave in Northern Somalia. AS is sponsored by the intelligence agencies of above Nations & Hargeisa Administration. All supreme/high leaders of AS are from the North. It’s a no brainer to say keep the South unsafe for the longest & then make a case for Somaliland recognition. In any case SS Khatumo/Awdal State have now put the last nail on the coffin of Somaliland project. Too bad for Mossad/MI6/CIA/Abiy for taking the intelligence of Somalis for granted. Somalia is a graveyard for empires. Listen to the wisdom of US Rangers in Black Hawk Down to understand what Somalis will sure as hell do naive adventurers.
  19. Dr. Abdiweli #Gaas "It is true and I will not lie that #Somaliland supports #Alshabaab and they support it very much. I discussed it when I was the President of #Puntland and shared it with the international community” #Galgala. #As. #SLwithAS. https://twitter.com/SSCeye1/status/1875563300806934560 Here is Gaas talking about it. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1160871328791792&rdid=Oq0y49W5qEmaaKrh
  20. This is worth its own thread. Dr. A/Weli M A Gaas, former President of PL, discussed this in his book, and is now confirmed by SL Intel Chief. Dr. A/Weli Gaas https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19t6qMtsJm/ UN Security Council also spoke to the issue in its July 2024 regional security briefing. https://twitter.com/EIshmael_/status/1875332799235780792 Mustafe #Bacluul, Director of Intelligence in #Somaliland militia “ #Berbera which is the main source for our country's ecenomy; has been and still is a problem. There are at least 200 people that go through in that city to join the #Alshabab militants in the #Galgala mountain” https://twitter.com/SSCeye1/status/1875291149205950595
  21. How about taking your own advice and staying away from H@rti territories? You know, unlike most secessionists with grandiose republican expansionist ideologies, you sound rational. We have been asking you to do just that in the past 30 years. We are actually very peaceful folks, and history attests to that. Check Oog, the most recent. There was nothing to stop us from going to Caynaba, our own city, but had to be considerate. Surely you could see we are not the ones on the march. I want nothing more than Somalis at peace and in harmony in their natural habitat.
  22. Valid point, but if given a chance Xasan's legacy in death and destruction would be unimaginable. Be careful though, like many, you might be suffering from Stockholm syndrome fondly reminiscing about the good old shackles of tyranny. On the free will of nomads, and freedom of peoples, best lessons could be learnt from the history of the Germanic people whom the Roman empire tried to tame, and never succeeded. What you are advocating for is someone like Bismarck (Prussia) or Tito (Yugoslav) to rise to unite the tribes / peoples, and if you think about it, that was what Federalism was intended to do for the Somalis, alas now that it has been hijacked, the page has to be turned to resuscitate it. Let the groups grow at own pace. Again, valid point. It takes far more to build, and lot less to destroy. Let me remind you though: had PL done in the 2000s what it is doing today, do you think there would have been light burning in Jawhar, Baydhaba, Dhusamareeb, Kismayo, let alone Xamar? The cost of those lights in said cities, more than any, has been borne by PL, which is what you might be forgetting. Why has not PL done a, b, c and so forth. It had done more elsewhere, and the benefits are visible for all to reap in said cities. The biggest beneficiaries are reer SW ( A gentleman I know was a Sr army officer, who helped Shaatigaduud train and arm the RRA to liberate Bay & Bakool through Shaatigaduud's links with A Yusuf. He discusses the state of Baydhaba then, and now. Day and night. He lost an arm in those battles, and says it was all worth it). By the way, another credit to PL is to help SSCK dismantle the secessionist project. Now is the right time to award Makhir Sultanate the mantel of Garaad Dhidhin. Next, for reer Awdal. Now, PL desires to refocus. Is Deni the right leader? I have reservations. If you get a chance, read the story of Bangabandhu of Bangladesh, the man who popularised the phrase: "Friendship to all, and malice to none". That is whence Xasan plagiarised the phrase "Somali heshiis ah, dunida la heshiis ah". He is a gimmick with dictatorial aspirations, and if given a chance, he'll wreak havoc far greater than ever. XX, MMA & Co are just kids, who grew up in households where no original idea has ever been debated let alone incubated, in other words, ciyaal edeg xaaraan lagu anqariyey! U malayn maayo in ay abid uriyeen habeed geel.
