  1. Well, you are not a victim of the echo chamber, are not one of the goblins the bell shall toll, and shall be spared of the angst. What happened to his political aspirations? Why are not those people at the forefront of SL politics?
  2. You are trying to adorn lipstick on fat pigs, agagas the lot of them, by the way, where is Jamal Cali Xuseen? Now, there is a man you could bank on along with C/Qadir Jirde. I thought these two ladies ( Fatima Saciid & Rooda Cabdi ) had a future, but unfortunately of late, there are just Edna in the making.
  3. You should start with Edna Dhakhtar, but you will not find her mentor, who he passed away recently, and do Faysal Dhurwaa, and locate his adopted father Indha Khamro next.
  4. Yes, that is him. He was the executioner for Gen. Caydiid, and carried out massacres in many regions incl. Mudug, J Hoose, Sh Hoose, and Bay.
  5. "Unless there is consensus, and political fissure is agreed upon" When even deadly warlords seem more sensible, could see wherein lies the rub, and speak the truth more than XSM.
  6. I hear the same rhetoric being used against Dr Gaboose whenever he speaks against the interest of the ruling class in Haargeysa. In other words, if Terra & Bakayle were to kowtow and please Bixiye, like Deeqsi or Dhixul as in recent interviews, then they would be considered Duriyad, no?
  7. The same way you always other Dr. Gaboose, eh? Keep othering, and before you know it, there shall be no one left. Duruqsi?
  8. On that same token, would it be fair to insinuate you might have been sired by a British provincial satrap, left behind in a hurry, and now masquerading as if a native? His family might be of Sanaag, as yours is of Bali dhiig, but he is reer Hargeysa.
  9. I do not think they realise how modern technology inverted the criminal profession where even common criminals are wary of being caught on camera; one would have thought the likes of Bixiye, ina Kahin, Taani etc. would be conscious enough as to the severity of their criminality in shelling innocent civilians, as it was broadcast on live feeds. But then again it is not like they have got conscious, or would acknowledge the atrocities they inflicted upon innocent civilians, let alone its criminality. Even XX continues to deny any atrocities being committed in Las Anod even after videos of gory images and group burials had been presented. I do not know if you have seen A Terra's documentary earlier (mind you, he is reer Hargeysa, lest XX accuses him of being Siyaad Barre Supporter). It is very harrowing to say the least.
  10. Was he this judicious, deliberative, receptive, cognisant, and reflective when he was at Villa Xamar? he is making sense.
  11. I think included should be sycophants and sympathisers of war crimes and criminals the likes of Oodweyne, XX, hordes frothing and chanting "Muuse ciidanka fasax", online trolls.
  12. AS retakes Bacaadweyne, Camaara, and Shabeelow. Balcad & Cadale feared to be next. If accurate, then it is as predicted. https://fb.watch/qLGJ9GAwd-/ --------------------------------------------- Hudson institute, a DoD outlet released its September report. Its conclusion: Consequently, the situation looks less promising than it did at the end of 2022, and al-Shabaab is unlikely to face a meaningful defeat in the coming months. Instead, the best-case scenario would see this military offensive degrade al-Shabaab over the coming months to the point that the terrorist organization partially fractures and loses some of its popular support, possibly opening up room for the FGS to negotiate with factions of the group. A more likely scenario, however, would see the conflict remain a stalemate, with the government’s current offensive bringing only temporary or superficial gains that do not meaningfully degrade al-Shabaab’s capacity. Given the improbability of a decisive military victory in the coming months or even years, the previously taboo notion of negotiating with the terrorists has gained traction in certain Somali political circles of late. President Hassan Sheikh has even oscillated between claiming that the objective of the current offensive is al-Shabaab’s complete battlefield defeat and claiming that the offensive aims to push the group into negotiations. [ ] In principle there is no reason to prefer an endless and fitful counterinsurgency to negotiations, but in practice it would be difficult to secure anything like an acceptable compromise at this stage. Some Somali security sources with knowledge of the group suggested that while al-Shabaab might enter negotiations with international powers, such as the US and Turkey (likely with mediation by Qatar, whose role in Somalia has proven controversial), it has no interest in speaking to the Somali government, which it sees as illegitimate and weak. [ ] At present this looks to be the best-case scenario, though unfortunately not the most likely one. But policymakers would do well to consider scenarios that might be acceptable to their interests rather than buy into unrealistic claims about the impending defeat of Africa’s most powerful jihadist group. https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.hudson.org/Faltering+Lion+-+James+Barnett+Sep+2023.pdf
  13. Whenever you hear the empty heads shouting from rooftops with ill-guided diatribe, it means the triangle is on fire. We heard from Xammalat al Xadhab, and here are her minions.
  14. SSC-Khatumo is doing much better than expected, but there are definitely going to be challenges ahead, economical or otherwise. I did mention SSC generated 13m in revenues in the last 3 months. I bet you did not know Garacad is a primary source of revenue for SSC-Khatumo.
  15. With its main three States (Tigray, Amhara, and Oromo (less extent) ) on fire, and roadblocks popping up outside of Addis, how does Abiy plan to wriggle out of this inferno? I can not wait for the whole bloody thing to blow up in his spotty face.
  16. He does not have anything to give, and even if he wanted to he will be end up with more than a broken arm and a black eye. It is not that he is not serious, but he is out of his depth as to the geopolitical games being played over his head.
  17. Subsidised till SSC could take on the responsibility, as previously agreed upon during its provisional period, and SSC is getting there. He is specifically referring to security forces from PL regions, outside of SSC, still at the front.
  18. In the old days when Somali media used to be informative with heavyweights at its helm. M Xarbi's role discussed. Literature alone by the likes of Qarshe, Naaji etc is on a different level. (correction: I initially thought this was the BBC).
  19. So, victims even when they are the transgressors? Are they being serious? Instead of hiding their criminal enterprise, they are openly brandishing the picture of a murderer seeking revenge in foreign capitals? How come no one, other than Bixiye, speaks of or campaigns for the highest prized prisoner, the army intel chief, Gadhka Yogolka?
  20. I once had a conversation with the late abu Xadra (Hadraawi) about politics, democracy, and elections in SL, and he laughed and said: "we are a long, long way away from home".
  21. Faysal Roble is one of the few S Galbeed sons whose analyses I heed with respect to Habasha and its expansionist strategy.
  22. So, you are a bone fide Somali after all. Well done.
  23. What is your initial reaction when you read some news like this?
