These ignorant motherf@ckers in borrowed suits are Oromo, and are dumb as a rock. The actually think their enemy is Somalia. One of them says 'they will use our port'. Why would they need to use your port if they have their own? What an effing numpties!

He is a deceitful cur seeking cover for his incompetence, and must be marched to the gallows for treachery. Pay attention to his misdeeds, not mere words.

The only solution to halt this mad dog from visiting ruination upon the entire region, and there is constitutional precedence, as set by GalMudug (a region & 2 districts), to recognise Awdal as a Federal Member State, as provided in Article 48, section (2), and grant it an interim 2 year self-administration following suit of SSC-Khatumo.

dp re US response.

House Speaker and his deputies to be selected on Thur.

I know. The likes of him have no principles, and would hawk their beloved mothers for farthings.

Are you off your trolley asking him about wars? He will change his name to Gabre Xunjuf before you could ask him to count to 3.

According to Habasha: a) Obtain a permanent naval base and commercial maritime service? a) From an economic perspective alone, Et now relies upon Jibouti and Berbera for its trade, what will happen to trade through said ports when Habasha creates a port of its own? Wajaale trade route shall cease to exist. b) From demographic shift, what will happen to Awdal when Habasha floods the region with its people to operate and traverse vast land connecting Et to the sea? c) With Et financially struggling, in a precarious state with internal conflict ongoing, from where will it get capital to invest? b) No country will be affected?

From the 'dhaqan' perspective, a two-State structure has been agreed upon, but the shape, politics, and security are still pending, as in 'kala gurasho'. Garaado and Issimo made that clear as much. Issims usually do not engage in the politicking after submitting designated names of MPs, Some in the opposition are still complaining, but the Parliament is set, and an interim Speaker has been selected. MPs will now begin the process of choosing a Speaker, and a Presidential Election Body. Any subsequent disputes could go to the Constitutional Court. The Presidential election date is always set on Jan. 8th.

So, this whole 'we are Oromo' theatrics was a foreplay to this event, a way of softening the gullible public to swallow a sour morsel. We are doomed. So was the Jibouti agreement. Dots are forming up a rather shapely linear trajectory.
