The Puntland State Government has officially responded to the Somali Federal Government’s recent decision to shut down the Ethiopian consulate in Garowe.
In a detailed statement, Puntland State highlights its enduring economic, security, and societal ties with Ethiopia, critiquing the Federal Government’s decision as a violation of the constitution meant to unify Somalia.
Describing the move on April 4, 2024, as motivated by enmity and detrimental to Puntland’s interests, the statement emphasizes that Puntland will pursue its foreign relations with neighboring countries and international stakeholders, asserting that the consulate’s closure does not reflect the state’s interests or policies.

This gets very interesting; the Consulate in Xamar has not been closed, and the Ambassador was not expelled, but instructed to return for consultation. Intel from villa Xamar indicate, the plan was to close the Consulate in Garowe alone, till in the final hour, it was suggested to include the Hargeysa office too. HSM et al is not even hiding his double dealings.

See, trouble with nostalgia, selective memory, and misplaced loyalty is they all hinge upon fantasies derived from unreal events and times whilst ignoring horrors of the same, an ailment, which bedevils the human psyche, nonetheless I could appreciate the underlying sentiment.
On 4/3/2024 at 2:33 PM, galbeedi said:Also, when I walk the old landmarks like schools, government ministeries, military bases and other agencies, I know the public owned the land not the oligarchs. You pass Dugisiga sareYaasiin Osman, Bartamaha, 15 May, and Saqaawadiin, and be shocked how huge this public spaces were for our students. Huge hospitals with gardens and open spaces. Igadaa Ha xasuusinine.
That we could not deny, my brother. I observe similar thing in all the major cities I visited, and I always ask myself, imagine had we saved and kept the old institutions intact, preserved the old heritage, designs etc, but then I am reminded of the legacy that which led to the current state, something most Kacaanists tend to deny, and ignore.
On 4/3/2024 at 2:33 PM, galbeedi said:puntland leadership has always been stealth sessionist ( Gooni goosato aan radaarku qaban), especially Faroole and Dani. The good news is the people of Puntalnd are some of the most nationalist among Somalis if not the most.
Here, you are being dishonest in your thinking. Surely, you are not equating years long, ongoing custom and trade outpost at Tuurdibi with the infamous MoU, which technically signed away prime Somali coastal land to Habasha, are you? If so, you are not being genuine.
On 4/3/2024 at 2:33 PM, galbeedi said:Furthermore, during MOU between Muuse Biixi and Abiy, and grabbing of the land, not one single regional state people had demonstrated against Abiy Ahmed. Of course the people were against , but the Maamuls had discouraged any public showing except in Mogadishu were people had openly demonstrated.
Now, let me say few points about the "Wax ka bedelka Dastuurka"
I definitely don't want someone from Mogadishu to organize district elections, absolutely.
That was a leadership failure on the part of your beloved leader, HSM, who instead of rallying the public against the invading enemy, chose to fiddle with the Constitution in further instilling division and chaos amongst the nation whilst jetting from one foreign capital to another with broken limps.
Do you recall a SINGLE meeting or conference at the national level to address or discuss implications of the MoU? Do you recall FMS heads being congregated to discuss looming crises? Do you recall intellectuals of any kind in Somalia, and abroad discussing or debating the issue? All because of failure of leadership, and the buck stops with your beloved President.
On 4/3/2024 at 2:33 PM, galbeedi said:Can you tell me the real reason Puntland refused last year's meeting of regional leaders and HSM other than stupid feud with HSM and Dani?
The conflict started with the proposed changes to the Judiciary branch of government by HSM, who sought to bring all Powers under the FGS, after which Deni excused himself, appointing a Consultative Committee, which drafted contested issues releasing the following 10 points at the heart of the conflict between PL and FGS:
1) Develop clear and strict safeguards of the national sovereignty with SSC-Khatumo question at its heart,
2) Completion of the Constitution, where guiding principles of power-sharing and consensus, participation, inclusivity, politically or otherwise, are adhered to,
3) Devise an agreed upon inclusive national security programme,
4) Agree upon a natural resources management and sharing plan,
5) Delineation of, and separation of Federal-State powers, and collaboration of institutions, as outlined in the Constitution,
6) Create an agreed upon National judiciary system, defining Federal-State functions and roles,
7) Formulate a transparent National economic and treasury programme with defined, and agreed upon guidelines,
8. What form, or type of Election at the Federal level to be adopted,
9) Determine as to the status of the Capital city, along with its rules and regulations,
10) Work out a political solution prior to any amendments are presented to Federal institutions.
Now, read the said 10 points, and tell me where PL was wrong?
On 4/3/2024 at 2:33 PM, galbeedi said:Puntland should demand and ask some changes in terms of the management of the election, but threatening sessions isn't one of them.
PL is not seceding, for its people do not wish to be cause of the destruction of Somalia. That role is being assumed by our brothers in NW, and cousins in Xamar. Be just in your disposition in apportioning blame. Let me remind you of what the late Dr. Galaydh said 'the break-up of the nation is being administered in the South'.

What about the Ethiopian troops in SW, HS, JL, GM and Mogadishu? Will they be expelled?

- Does the FGS have means or teeth to implement its decision?
- Will Ethiopian airline flights to Garowe & Hargeysa be banned?
- Do the referenced Articles of the amended Constitution apply to either political entity?

MMA,
This is the legacy of your beloved Kacaan. Now, feast on broken glass, gobble up, and ingest it slowly lest choked in heaves.Very poor timing. This has been an ongoing project about the Tuurdibi trade route connecting Garacad to DDS. Former Minister of Finance (Dhabancad) and the current (Maxamed Farax) are in DDS for that project.
Ethiopia FO intent on making some miles from it, and advertising it.
-
Let us not forget reer Awdal are true acolytes and beneficiaries of the Kacaan, which explains Galbeedi's frequent dirgax dirgax & diga rogasho. I suppose when he revisited Xamar, memories of old resurfaced and he is now a born again Kacaanist. He and MMA would make a lovely companions frequenting old ground whilst reminiscing of the good old days, which had never been.
Dhal Kacaan will forever be just that.

Yes, a spin of some sort.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed appointed Adam Farah as the new Head of the Democracy Building Center Coordinator Office with the rank of Deputy Prime Minister effective 01 April 2024. The former Speaker of the House of Federation (HoF), Adem Farah, who hails from the #Somali region in #Ethiopia, has been serving as Vice President of the ruling Prosperity Party (PP) after being elected at the party's first general assembly held in two years ago in March 2022. Directly appointed by and accountable to Prime Minister Abiy, the Democracy Building Center Coordinator Office is responsible for, among others, overseeing the performances and the institutional independence of democratic institutions in Ethiopia including the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia, and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.

Many of you seem as if to have penchant for tyrannical rule. Surely, it is not just 'cos you have been brought up under such a rule, and have not learnt anything from the lesson of the past 50 years of the nation's history.
Instead of resorting to power-grabbing methods, which is what most of the amendment rise to, implement democratic institutions and safeguards to prevent usurpation of powers, and maintain checks and balance.
The only time the PM's powers being diluted would make sense is when political parties and elections had been implemented throughout the nation, till then, and in order to maintain the political power-sharing principle, which is the only thing keeping the nation intact, and thus far made the FGS possible, till then it must remain in place. Otherwise, it is back to the ugly days of tyranny and dictatorship. The nation has come a long way to revert back to that.

11 hours ago, galbeedi said:Iliriya,
I wanted to illustrate the weaknesses Of HSM, especially the criticism that is openly debated in mogadishu. While his selling public land to oligarchs are known, some of the other allegations of incompetence in his army chief could be an exaggeration, because they are usually said by those who oppose him. Since it is Ramadaan, I don't want say something that is not proven. HSM has some weaknesses and his is involved in nepotism, but his toughness and hard work , especially his campaign against Al-shbaab and to pacify Somalia out weights his weaknesses. Madaxweynuhu dagaal markuu ku jiro waa in la taageeraa.
Now forget about my criticism of HSM and let us debate about the current constitutional changes, especially the six key changes.
1- Amending the relationship between the elected president and the prime minister. Somali presidents campaigned for years through thick and thin, propose their platform and plans for their administration and get elected. Then They appoint a prime minister to manage their agenda and assemble his cabinet. Now if there is disagreement, the appointed premier could block the president that appointed him and create constitutional deadlock by bringing the parliament to the equation. Money has to change hands, parliamentarian has to be bribed to help dismiss the premier and so on. It is a mess. Rooble and Farmaajo is a good example for which we lost two years of squabbling.
I agree the proposal of the president about dismissing the premier without the parliament and it is the best interest of Somalia.
2- Both the regional satiates and the federal government should hold one person one vote.
I support this article and most Somalis support it. We have witnessed how the last election was done by the maids and drivers of Ahmed Madoobe.
3-Three political parties.
I wish the government should have left this alone, but since they added , I don't see a major issue that should be an obstacle to the other important things. Sometimes you have to take the good and bad to move forward.
4- The election commission will be appointed by the federal government.
Some places like America, states manage the national elections, but in Canada the election commission and the management of the national election is done by the federal government. THey hire directly the employees who should be working for the election. Personally, I don't trust a clan enclave led by the likes of Madoobe, Dani and qoor qoor to manage a national election. I support the idea of thhe federal government appointing the 18 member commission, so does most of Somalis. As I said before, there are no functioning federal states, they are all fake and in name, they can't manage national and they should not manage either. Ahmed Madoobe Kismaayo dhinac uma dhaafin 13 sano Miyaan Doorasho u dhiibi? maya.
5- The regional leaders shall be called governors or Hogaamiye.
O Allah, I love this article. By far most Somalis like this. We the Awdal State had called our leader Hogaamiye not a president just like Khaatumo did. Somalis had rejected these so called 6 presidents. Somalia waa in ay lahaataa hal madaxweyne
6- The term of the regimes should be 5 years.
I also support these.With the current dysfunction, the first 6 months are done while assembling cabinet and setting . The third year is consumed usually by constitutional debates or how the election should done, and the fourth year is electioneering. Now, with thie new system, the next president will have the confidence to appoint his prime minister and work four full years and do the elections the fifth year.
Now please tell us which one of these C/laahi Dani is opposed. We the Somali people want president HSM to keep fighting Al-shbaab and finish the work. We don;t want C/laahi Dani and company to put this country to another useless constitutional debate for these 6 points and squabble for the next 24 months. . The Somali parliament including those elected from Puntland had voted. Case closed.
11 hours ago, galbeedi said:For a moment there, I forgot you were an acolyte of the atrocious Kacaan ideology. Q&Q nicely refuted your short-sighted, ill-conceived, self-serving points, but I still want to get back to my original question, but at first let me dispense with a more pertinent query:
- Would you want someone in Xamar to organise district council elections in Awdal: Boorama, Baki, Lughaya, and Zaylac? Or would you want Dr Bahar et al to undertake the engagement?
- If no, and you would prefer Dr Bahar et al, then the same is true for the 20 MPs representing reer Awdal in the Federal Parliament, both Houses, as one would not want them (s)elected, or their election being managed, by some busy bees dispatched from Xamar.
- Or are you advocating for the opposite?

That is 'cos your response was that of an amateur debutante primed for an evening out in genteel circles worse than even XX in his odious self in bad times, and instead of constraining your poking of the bear at its tail, you veered off stroking its precious mane, hence the ire, and the reason you are now seeking shelter, and bellowing for agency and utility.

They all speak of good game when in opposition, but the minute their derriere touches the seat, they morph into mini Afweyne. Think about the speeches HSM made whilst attending civil society conferences in Xamar, Garowe, Jibouti etc.

9 hours ago, galbeedi said:President HSM has a known dysfunction both outside and inside Mogadishu. The Bajaaj driver who is from Unaka would tell you how public land were sold to oligarchs, how public streets are even closed so someone could build his illegal business, huge military camps are sold to his cronies and so on. Furthermore, he is probably the most openly tribalist president Somalia has even seen since independence.
He is waging a war against Al-shabaab, yet he appoints an army chief who is not only incompetent, but doesn't even venture outside the military headquarters. Frontline soldiers are demoralized by the way they are deployed and how constantly they are ambushed by Al-shabaab like a sitting duck.
Despite all of that he is the only president who is waging a real war against Al-shabaab. While the poor foot soldiers of Al-shabaab are from the Southwest countryside, from Jalalaqsi or Qoryooley, most of those who run Al-shbaab are from Northern Habro, few D block and HAG members, but it's business enterprise is mostly managed by people from Galmudug, Mugadishu and few random Somalis based in Mogadishu.
I do believe that HSM is probably the only president who has the means and the will to eliminate the scrooge of Al-shabaab, and that issue should be the most important issue. If this town of Mogadishu and southern Somalia founds the badly needed peace, Somalia could surpass easily within few years both Kenya and Ethiopia.
Pacifying Mogadishu isn't an easy job. We the diaspora blame the locals by saying that how dare they don't cooperate with authority and eliminate Al-shabaab, yet no nation on earth has even faced an enemy so deadly and willing ito inflict as many civilian casualty like Al-shbaab. People might talk about the so called ISIS, but no one is even close to Al-shbaab in terms money raised through extortion and intimidation. They are the richest extremists in the whole world.
I do believe that the people of Mogadishu are the most resilient among the Somalis. They have survived bombing, stabling, killing and all the evil that is Al-shbaab. Yet they don't afraid anymore. They see finally a light under the tunnel.
In terms of the constitution, I agree consultation is the right way to do it, yet the committees that were founded for the last 12 years haven't moved an inch. There was a parliamentary and professional committees organized by the Farmaajo regime in 2018. They were all squabbling how to get the money Norway was paying to fix and amend the constitution with zero results. Furthermore, there is no money to drag this for years to come while major security, international and domestic files are needed urgently. These Puntlanders knew that HSM was corrupt in terms of his oligarchs, yet they waged a hell bent campaign against Farmaajo presenting him like modern day Siyaad Barre Allah Ha u Nazariistee.
You can't just play with fire and expect the house to survive. Wakhtigu wuu is gurayaa, the threat to this nation is so great, I can't imagine it is still standing.
Let me tell you a little story:
We are all shocked about Al-shbaab young men who storm hotels, kill as many as possible and later killed and their bodies laying on the ground. You ask yourself, how could the leaders convinced these kids to kill their own people and die there like cannon fodders? this is something bigger than the Somali nomad who can't even fix a bicycle let alone build explosive belts and latest videos with the most modern equipment.
THese young men are recruited from the countryside who are barely teenagers and are locked in special camp with modern interactive video of indoctrination. They are shown photoshopped pictures, videos and other materials for one years. Most of Mogadishu hotels are depicted in these videos like a place where Somali women are raped by foreigners including white and black men, with rampant alcohol and drugs shown openly and so on. Combined with videos from west bank and Gaza, Afghanistan or other places where videos show slaughter of civilians and other collateral damages.
If you remember, the Iraqi ISIS were founded by men who were raped and exposed in Abu Ghraib and other prisons in Iraq. They were like mad dogs unleashed to avenge what they thought as a gross violations. So, these teenagers fed with these videos for 12 months could not wait to liberate and attack the hotels whom they believed Somali women and others were abused . One of the kids who survived was shocked that he never seen any foreigner or even women in these hotels.
What I am saying is that these security issues mixed with business interest of the Mogadishu oligarchs can only be resolved by someone from these part of Somalia. Let him clean up as much as he can and pave the way for a better leadership for the future. Otherwise we could be debating couple of chapters of the constitution for another 24 months which will distract HSM from the main tasks like fighting Al-shbaab.
Farmaajo had assembled a capable army from Eritrea which is even much better from those who are trained Turkey, for his second term he could have done a lot, yet he was sidelined by C/laahi Dani and company. I understand that Puntland is trying to balance the unfettered power of HSM, but some of these changes will be good for the next president, besides I am someone who believes that there is more dictatorship within the regional states that the federal government.
A billion Chinese with one leader and these Somali nomads want 6 presidents for 15 million people and the debate is going for 33 years. Give me a break.
Boowe ku mahadsanid laba-dhaclaynta, hogatusaalaynta, iyo xogaha, but you did not answer my simple question; if you could try it one more time, and this time do bear in mind I am fully briefed as to the ills and inner goings of Somali politics. Now, try one more time. And one more thing, boowe aashaa hadal, hana gadoodin!

12 hours ago, Che -Guevara said:This will decide if federalism gets entrenched or if Somali , becomes a city state run by HSM and alike. Unlike before, there is more than one strong member state and a strong opposition in the making.
Priorities. There was no need to tamper with the Constitution. Instead political agreement, as stated in the Constitution, and institutions building, as desperately needed (perhaps focus upon security and judiciary) are far more critical to the nation, and to invest in so as to keep the nation intact and weather the tide during these taxing times.
Instead, valuable time is being wasted on painting Mona Lisa on fanciful canvass of no use to the nation nor its citizenry.
Postscript:
With the only consensus based, agreed upon Federal Constitution being those of the 2004/2012, and subsequent unilateral amendments to the said Constitution by the gov't in Xamar on Mar. 30, 2024, which nullifies core principles of the said Constitution, therefore it computes to conclude Xamar gov't seceded forming a South Central gov't.And with PL standing by the consensus based Constitution, it is therefore the de facto legitimate political entity representing the Federal gov't.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You are reading it upside down, as I said before it is HSM et al, who are breaking away from the Federal gov't by nullifying the Federal Constitution (2004/2012), and not PL seceding. The new Constitution (2024) is no longer binding, and PL does not recognise the current admin in Xamar, and very soon it shall have assumed the de facto role of the former Federal government with Foreign, Defence, and Monetary Ministries amongst others, operating under the old Constitution.
