  1. Not in our life  time, I think not. Abu Dhabi based, State owned company, proposed to finish the port, the GGG road project, and management of the port, with a 37% stake, but all their proposals had been rejected.

    Besides, reer Mudug have less Oromo infiltration, higher expectations, and greater ambition than the secessionists.

  2. Doomsday sayers, the lot of you, where were you 10 years ago, circa. 2014? Or even 20 years ago in 2004? I bet back then you did not think things would improve, or get any better. Now, get your knickers out of a twist, and fast forward in 2034, or 2050, could you imagine what life would be like? Go on, share you predictions, you baldy bunch.

    if the bunker want to stop  abiye from visiting Somaliland well they can stop the Ethiopian airliner entering SL , but if Abiye visits jigjiga he can go per car via  wajaale and there is nothing the bunker could do

    If he visits any part of Somalia, let alone Hargeysa, that is a declaration of war, and so it should be considered.

    prof samatar

    for the first time i see prof samatar talking about the late general afweyne in a very negative way

    I always questioned Cabdi Samatar's motives and analytical capacity; at minute 0910, he talks about uniting the nation, and pooling its strength to defend the nation, but then he places al Shabab in the same category as Habasha invasion. The only reliable, sure defense against Habasha is al Shabab. Talk about removing arrows in one's quiver night before the battle!

    Xildhibaan Abiib makes good points. Why would the world need to engage Somaliland if Ethiopia becomes a player in the Red Sea?

     

    He is very sharp, and has a bright future in Somali politics at the national level. Imagine if he studied law, philosophy and politics, and had the correct tools to brief his constituency as to the looming dangers, and influence of the shifting priorities in the geopolitics of the world.

  4. Trump says he’d disregard NATO treaty, urge Russian attacks on U.S. allies
    “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?,’” Trump said during a rally at Coastal Carolina University. “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

    Trump’s remarks come as the GOP is debating whether to provide additional foreign aid to Ukraine, which is fighting a war with Russia after being invaded by Moscow in 2022. The Senate is considering legislation that would give $60 billion to Ukraine. House Republicans, however, have echoed Trump’s skepticism about doing so.

  5. Xaaraami IOG, his master plan (Irirism with Bixiye and XSM) blew up in his face, and is now trying to salve his rectum with balm culled from SSC, reer Awdal and GXJS against Bixiye and Abiy post the infamous MoU, and by extension rescue billion he makes from Habasha using Jabouti port (he makes 1.5 billion USD annually).

    This is not circa. 2000, and SSC Interim Admin, as a political entity, is represented by Firdhiye, and not by Garaado.

  6. It is a dark C!A site, one of the largest in Africa, and a large military intelligence base in Xamar. It is named after Camp Gordon of US Army Cyber Command centre for training military SIGNT intelligence gathering personnel under the COMINT military intelligence.


  7. Should not human life always take precedence over procedure and protocol? The principle is: err on the side of caution where human life is at danger. Suppose this: would you have said the same had it been a member of your beloved family, who, Allah forbid, had a stroke with blood bumping to their brain?

    As despicable as most secessionists are, they are still Somalis with rights, are they not? You sound like a bloody shill with your brain particles removed in a badly performed craniotomy surgery in a dark alley.

    She will most likely be Somalia's first female president. 

    For all our sake, let us hope not. Her fiddles in the old ISRAAC group are said to have been drudgery for others, to say the least. I know of an old mate, who taught her, when she was specialising in Conflict Resolution at George Mason, and he considered her a vacuous prima donna, yet conniving in traversing corridors of power, even in D.C.

    Ismaaciil Jimcaale Cosoble, one of the founders of USC (one of the intellectual and autocrate ones behind it before his passing in mid 1990) mey qaraabo yihiin taloow?

    I have no idea as to her relations, but she is a wicked force to be reckoned with --- I had a driver whilst in Xamar, and even he was working for her. She recruited and corrupted so many young people, with penchant for young females.

    In other words, she is the Amina Waris of Hargeysa, and ina Xayd in Jabouti all in a bundle.

     

     

    Hang on though, there is no Foreign Minister, then who is nominating Ambassadors? Shihan Xasan Sh. or Hinda Culusow?

    Have you seen the last batch of just nominated daljiriyaal? Xasan Socdaal's tol has seven daljiriyaal now, plus the proxy his daughter as a foreign minister. Mid ina adeertiisa u magacowday daljiraha EU and Biljam, so little aid money from Yurub waala kala qeybsanaa.

    No surprise there, the man is just "what is the word", I'll let you fill it in ... I have been told the whole government is run by the following West End thespians:

    • Hasan Sh: el Presidente, Prime Minister, Foreign, Defense, and Explorer extraordinaire all in one,
    • Hinda Culusow (his niece): Advisor at large of all government affairs from the kitchen to the Treasury,
    • Shihaan Xasan Sh (his daughter): Foreign & Diplomatic czar,
    • Fiqi: Security & Interior czar,
    • Mahad Salad: Mukhabarat czar,
    • Macallimu: One man PR machine.

    That is one Khadija Cosoble, a well-known fixture of the Metro D.C area, and the sole contractor, supplier, overlord of all Aid / grants to the nation, and overseer of almost everything from food for AMISOM(ATMIS) soldiers to Somali troops equipment to even microphones in the Parliament. She is the de facto governor of Xamar, has an army under her command, more influential than Hasan himself, and a government unto herself. The only patches beyond her sphere are Xalane and Bali Doogle secret bunkers, and even there, she is a frequent visitor to interface with foreign intel corps.

    Odawaa was better than anyone who came after and before him post dagaalada sokeeye. Kaliya Jen. Biixi ayaa ugu dhawaa dhanka aqoonta. He is Turkish trained, too.

    Once again Xasan Socdaal, under the advice of Imaaraadka, destroyed nascent building of Soomaali army and progress it made from 2017. Now it is back to isku dhexyaac iyo broken chain commands as it was before 2017. The top commander himself is ganacsade and has nothing to with army, just there to siphon off from army funds and share with Xasan's corrupt group. Ciidamada rank-and-file don't trust him amd asked to have Odawaa back. Xasan brought Odawaa back as a lataliye last time I knew.

    Mate,
    A couple of of years ago, at Jazeera, I found myself at a luncheon (do not ask me how) with MPs, minsters, and security officers incl. Odawaa, and could not believe how young, inexperienced, and green they all seemed. Having spent days exploring the city, meeting locals, observing life for the ordinary citizens, I wanted to ask them questions, but realised quickly none were qualified, capable, privy to the needs of the people, nor had any clue or plan to help the nation cover. Do not get me wrong, there are many qualified, capable, and caring people in the country, but none are in government or public service positions. I am glad to see you have some confidence in the young General.

    Someone posted this list recently of the military top brass, and it is as if it is a family affair.

  11. I am always taken aback by the age gap between youngins representing Somalia vs other nations.

    I remember when the most Sr General in Turkiye, I think it was Gen. Akar, visited Xamar to meet with his counterpart, and Odawaa in his 20s showed up to receive him, and Gen. Akar seated himself in the VIP to await his contemporaries only to be told, 'Sir, the kid is the most Sr'. Shock and horror!

  12. Worthy reminding:

    On February 4, 1991, the massacre in Dila and Borama occurred in the Awdal region of Somaliland. The massacre resulted in thousands of people being killed by the current leader of Somaliland, Musa Bihi, with the help of Ethiopian soldiers and two other residents of Hargeisa: party leader Col. Abdillahi Darawal and author and journalist Boobe Yusuf Duale. The massacre left severe wounds on the Awdal region and its inhabitants, who still mourn the murder of their loved ones.

    GFgXcJhXcAAzH_s?format=png&name=900x900

    The participation of Musa Bihi raises issues about the responsibility of leaders and the need for truth and reconciliation in the north-west of Somalia, "Somaliland." Western lobbyists are withholding information from the public and supporting individuals who have committed genocide and now want to restore their land and shores to Ethiopia in exchange for Ethiopian military backing to carry out the same crimes without ever facing punishment.

    The genocide eyewitness account provides a terrible picture of the horrors that were done. It is vital for the international community to recognize the enormity of these crimes and hold the offenders responsible. The survivors' plea for justice should not go unnoticed, and actions must be taken to guarantee that Musa Bihi and anyone implicated in these atrocious atrocities are brought to trial. Only by accepting the truth and pursuing reconciliation can "Somaliland" move ahead towards a more equitable and peaceful future and become a full member of the Somali federal government..

    In Borama, the same problem was encountered, but due to the city's size and dense population, there were significantly more fatalities and damages. Fighters from Somaliland fled the city in fire and wreckage, their dead scattered everywhere. Reputable Borama Imam Sheikh Hassan Deheeye claimed to have counted 764 dead the following day, while additional eyewitnesses reported a greater number…

    Residents are still missing as of this time, likely taken prisoner, put to death, and deposited in an unmarked mass grave outside of the city. Somaliland militiamen plundered shops, companies, automobiles, trucks, gas, and whatever else they could find to last them through the agony of Awdal. The ramifications of this violent assault were far-reaching, putting the whole area in a state of despair. The city remains a sad reminder of the horrors perpetrated, and the world community must not turn a blind eye to this terrible injustice.

    -------------------------------------------
    Men responsible of atrocities: Col. Muse Bixi, Col. C/llahi Darawal, and journalist Boobe Yusuf.

    If Xasan asked me what he should do, I would tell him to send one of those Turkish drones to neutralise Muuse Bixiye.

    Aaaah, so the precision-guided, AI-powered, bomb-bearing flying engines were instead to drop flowers and honey from the skies on Hargeysa ala Goojacadde style, were they? Mend your way, man.
