  1. The nation is at a crossroads, and this opens the gate for dark days to come.

  3. According to TRT, Türkiye has trained more than 6,000 Gorgor soldiers since 2017. However, the current strength of the unit, which consists of the 17th Brigade (approximately 1,900 soldiers) and the 18th Brigade (around 2,100 soldiers), suggests that at least 2,000 soldiers have been lost to desertions and deaths. The majority of these losses have occurred over the past 12 months, coinciding with President Hassan Sheikh’s liberation operations, which have been stuck in Phase 1 for nearly two years. The impact of these losses is most evident in the decimation of Gorgor’s leadership ranks. In the Mudug region alone, four battalion commanders have been lost to deaths and desertions and Al-Shabab attacks this year. Company commanders have also been hit hard, with many falling victim to attacks or facing court-martials. The death of the 18th Brigade’s commander in battle underscores the severity of the situation and the risks faced by those leading the fight against Al-Shabab.

  4. In a display of defiance against corruption, Mogadishu-based businessmen have halted their operations at Mogadishu Port for the last two days, citing a corrupt scheme linked to port activities. Local entrepreneurs have voiced their frustrations, stating they are being pressured to engage in and financially contribute to a scanning service not officially recognized by the Ministry of Finance. Payments for this service are allegedly directed to a select group of businessmen with close ties to port authorities, effectively bypassing standard governmental oversight and sparking concerns over legality and the apparent circumvention of the Ministry of Finance’s authority. This standstill at the port, resulting in little to no operations over the past two days, not only highlights the transparency issues of financial transactions but also suggests a deeper, systemic issue of governance and corruption.

  5. The level of incompetence is mind blowing. ---------------------------- Ethiopia’s State Bank Mobilizes Task Force to Recoup 6 Billion Birr Lost through mysterious “system failure” The source indicated that the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia does not yet know the amount of money it lost, but it indicated that over six billion birr worth of transactions were conducted in a matter of six hours, and over 25,000 money transfers were made. Borkena has learned from citizens’ reports on social media that most money transfer transactions and ATM withdrawals were observed among university students. Jimma University and Addis Ababa University have issued warning statements urging students to return if they have withdrawn or transferred money from the bank and avoid facing legal consequences. Last week, the bank fired more than 200 employees in connection with fraudulent educational credentials. https://borkena.com/2024/03/18/ethiopia-state-bank-mobilizes-task-force-to-recoup-6-billion-birr-lost-through-mysterious-system-failure/
  6. Somaliland and Allied Militias Plan Offensive Against SSC Bihi aims to use a new conflict as a pretext to delay elections in Somaliland-controlled districts. SSC forces did not invade Isaaq-inhabited districts and villages after they dislodged Goja’ade from Somaliland forces and allied clan militias. “Any war against SSC constituencies will be viewed as a political decision against lives and properties of a Somali clan and will have wider repercussions” said a retired MP in Hargeisa, who accused Bihi of the intention to spark internecine inter-clan war to stay in power.

  7. The prediction is D.C is Cali Dheere will be the next President in 24 months. In the meantime, XSM is just soiling the rugs in the mosque, but fret not, for order for replacements have already been placed. An 8,000 foreign private army is staged for deployment to protect foreign interests & pretense in Xamar post the imminent takeover.
  8. You should heed Arafaat's wise council, for he is your good conscious. Besides, did we not agree you would stay in your territories, and make mo wild claims for other people's lands? And in return, we shall not be forcefully detaching you nails with a pair of pliers. Or is yours a case of " Ninna caadadi ma baajo, bahalna qeedhiin ma daayo? ".
  9. This is a good beginning, a Somali enterprise making gradual progress: a chartered container ship by Somalis, the largest according to some sources, by SomLink logistics docking at a Somali port.
  10. Under the Federal Constitution, the Power for holding direct elections rests with the FMSs with the exception of Federal offices. FGS only has a monitoring supervisory role. The same way the FGS had no role in District Council Elections in PL, it shall have none in other FMSs. Nor shall it have a role in Leadership elections in FMSs. Even the election of Federal MPs in both Houses rests with FMSs.
  11. Dead bodies of 4 of SL's specially trained flying rangers found in the vicinity of Buuraha Xargaga, 7 months after the Aug. 26th disarmament.
  12. Did I twist your bushy tail too hard? Let the drip seep through, soak up, sink in to saturate the supine self. Had I not been familiar with the timelines and history of Somali territories, I too would have fallen for your bile blend of tookh and misinformation. There is only one beel with discernible history within Habraha, and it is not HJ. Let us leave it at that.
  13. AS armed with 70+ technicals attacked Xalane from three fronts. ---------------------------- Al-Shabab Launches Deadly Attack on Somali Military Base. The Somali government is keeping quiet about the death of Commander (Liban Golcad) and 58 other soldiers in Busleey, Lower Shabelle region. It's alarming that the militant group AS has been claiming responsibility for the deaths of over 10,000 soldiers in the past two years! This is because the Somali government's strategy has failed, along with promises from the Somali President that turned out to be false! https://twitter.com/EIshmael_/status/1771516167804334444?s=20 Condolences to Liban Golcad and other soldiers killed last night. HSM, the clueless TikToker minister, and the inept security leadership in place must answer for the unprecedented loss of young Somali troops. In two years, a third of the Somali soldiers have either been killed or maimed, with thousands of other patriots leaving the army after witnessing negligence and leadership that doesn’t care about them. It appears there is a deliberate campaign to dismantle the SNA! https://twitter.com/Abdulkullane/status/1771537414726586528?s=20 While he's preoccupied with promoting an illegal constitution change in the mosque, over a hundred soldiers have been killed in the outskirts of Mogadishu within a 10-mile radius in the past few days. https://twitter.com/Osmanshiil/status/1771547734178185705?s=20
  14. Forget about Waqdari & Lasa Surad e, few families of G36 & S Yonis do reside there, like most Somali territories, but that is a majority of H@rti territory, and the map is very illustrative of SSC territories. I think this year is going to be when HJ shall cease to exist on the map, and that would have been effected had it not been Garaado being Allah-fearing true Somali sons, who wish no harm to their fellow country men, but with HA back to baking xalwa harisa in Goljanno, HJ is fully primed for the thrusting of the century.
  15. Ina faataa dhugle, here is the SSC map, and it is well beyond your grubby paws. If you have got a few more young men to throw into embers of hellfire, and weapons for ganima, Jamaahir is ready, do bring it on!
  16. Are they opposed though? I hardly hear about it. Do reer S West not see the dangers of what is being cooked? They will be the first to bear the brunt of it due to proximity. Are there no Shaariguduud accolades left in SW?
  17. O I am aware of that, but recognise Xaabsade and Cali Sugulle as just useful tools, but was more identifying the root cause. Just as Faroole was another useful tool to maintain the status quo.
  18. You are reading the manual upside down; may I suggest you dip it in cold water, soak it up overnight, and drink the stock for the residual residence of the text and print in your soul?
  19. You are still hoping SSC might return? To start with, the only reason SL was able to come to Sool was 'cos of the Federal project where ina Riyaale took advantage of the vacuum created by relocating 5,000 dervishes moved from Sool to Jawhar / Baydhaba / Xamar. And now that the Federal project is on a recliner, if imperfect, it is time to bring back the missing piece in from the cold to reconstruct the nation state? Did C/Qadir Jirde not brief tolka on that?
  20. Article 4, sections (3), (4), sub-section (a) & (b), and section 5. Article 4 - SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE 1. Puntland State is part of Somalia; its duty is to contribute to the establishment and protection of a Somali government based on a federal system. 2. The powers that Puntland State shall cede to the Federal Government of Somalia and those that will be preserved shall be determined through negotiation between the Federal Government of Somalia and Puntland State and shall be set out in the Federal Constitution of Somalia and the Puntland State Constitution. 3. Pending the completion of the Federal Constitution, ratified by Puntland, and approved by popular referendum, Puntland State shall have the status of an independent state. 4. Puntland State shall reserve the right to review the provisions in paragraphs 1,2, and 3 of this Article if: (a) Somalis fail to agree on a federal system; (b) The instabilities and wars in other parts of Somalia continue indefinitely. 5. The decision to be taken on the foregoing issues may be effective only with a 2/3 majority support of the parliament, and confirmed by popular referendum as set out in Article 140(1) of this Constitution.
  21. The number is larger, but this is just the group, who organised the press conference.
  22. I listed most of the new Articles, amendments, and removed Articles in pages 1 & 2. Verdict: It is a new Constitution. New: 19 Articles, 94 sections Amended: 45 Articles, 97 sections 71 MPs of both Houses oppose. https://x.com/puntlandpost/status/1769806952987598895?s=20
  23. Yes, that was the fashionable thing to do back then, and I think you are referring to the infamous Maxamed Jibril. I met some of his family members in the US, wanted to hate them with passion, but could not, as they are just ordinary folk.
  24. And reversing any gains since 2000 Arte conference. Would PL be justified, or at fault had it invoked Article (4) of the State Constitution?
