That can not be true, for the flying rangers of the SL national army is too professional for that, and has managed to clean up heego remnants, oooops I meant huwan, out of Sool, are now in downtown Las Anod, headed to Garowe.

Allah maangaab sanidee!

GXJS will, and can choose their leaders, and if they opt for Cirro, so be it. Just rally behind them, for your own survival.

We have got own intel, and your dead bodies to bury, but wanted you to hear it from one of your own.

Here is one of their own reflecting as to the casualties on the SL side.

Here is a prediction for you: If you are still in Gooja cadde by this time next week, your strategy is working, despite losing all your senior officers, bases, and most of your foot soldiers. Here is your cousin reflecting on what happened last night. Listen to the bit about the casualties. https://fb.watch/mA-7gdDrK2/

Cigaal had no 'caqli', was only familiar with a 'divide to rule' type of politics, and by far was one of the worse evils to have befallen on the Somalis, but that is a conversation for another day. Now, why do not you rally behind GXJS to lead the State? After all, they are your educated class, natural leaders, have the population mass, fought and died for it, and have shown they could from S Sanaag to Hargeysa, their de facto, legacy stronghold. By the way, I know what I am talking about, am familiar with the history of Habraha, their struggles, and the region, as it is not some tookh I read on the Internet, or " aan bawsaday", so before you respond, pause, and think.

It is good you recognise wherein lies the quandary. Besides ina Mooge, as the mayor of Hargeysa, who comes across as possessing the right ingredients and potential, has there been a bona fide young talent being elected, admitted in politics? Jamal Cali Xuseen, C/raxman C/Qadir were the only two, with a couple of other hopefuls, who tried, and we all remember what came of them. Did it occur to you the reason there are 'external enemies', as you put, is due to dim politicking, and poor leadership?

You might have missed the nub of the query: why does a political party have a life cycle as if a product with a shelf life, or need to expire? Should not voters be the ones determining, or deciding whether a party, and by extension its leadership, is electable, or not? On the matter of his being unfit to govern, why not rise, and support the Gacan libaax resistance?

Container ship at Garacad.

He might be in trouble by overstepping his boundary, if the Parliament has any teeth.

So, political parties have to renew their licences, if no, they cease to exist, which technically therefore makes political parties businesses of interest, and of the private type. How do they then acquire and exercise political power? From where their authority stem, and with whom does it rest? Of all the sane and healthy people in the region, all the beloved Republic could come up with are: Cad (Cirro), who could not bite even if a finger is being fed into this mouth, Cille (Muuse), who would rather bite off his tongue out of spite, and whose answer to any problem is to reach for the hammer, Caami (Faysal), who speaks as if in early adolescence, or on the opposite, where he is regressing in his twilight years. The only man left, who exhibits 'odaynimo' is ina Jirde, and he does not seem to be engaging, and from the sound of it, even Cali Gurey has gone terribly quiet. In peace time, any twat could mount to the coveted seat, but in troubled times, men of wisdom could only pass the muster.

By glancing at the letter, a few things stand out: a) The infamous Nation security argument, made famous by the military regime in silensing dissent, is being used to shut down said apps; it further misuses Articles of the Constitution, for example it references Article 10, sections (2), which provides: 'Human dignity is inviolable and must be protected by all', however, section (3) of the same Article provides: 'State power must not be exercised in a manner that violates human dignity'. The intent and the spirit of seeking to ban apps, which leads to further violations, is a direct violation of the provisions of said Article. Further, this letter violates provisions of Article 18, sections (1), (2), and (3), and most specifically, section (3), which provides: 'Freedom of expression includes freedom of speech, and freedom of the media, including all forms of electronic, and web-based media'. Could someone remind, and explain to the hasty Minister that he is in direct violation of the Constitution, and has legally no leg to stand on. If they do succeed, then they shall ban X, yt, fb etc, and as MMA noted in another thread, social media is the only 'check and balance' in place to keep these pseudo politicians in check whilst holding them to account. We are either a nation of laws, or the wild west.

Does this remind you of any one? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=6798251063568843

The poor sod is clueless, and he knows it, which is the reason he is hiding in Dhusamareeb This is the trouble when someone has not gone through proper peer-review with some half-baked ideas, and goes on public record debating himself on both sides of the same issue. Here he is.

Whilst draconian in nature, legally nor technically, could they ban, with their influence extending no farther than Hormuud in Xamar.

The sad part is the items of concern, as shared by X, are not what you would expect would invoke their ire, unless of course the translated version fed them porkies. I bet that is what happened. Here are 2 of them.

SSC leader with Garaad Jamac and other SSC Admin leadership on the front with the liberation forces. Madaxwaynaha SSC-Khaatumo C/Qaadir Awcali Axmed oo ay weheliyaan Garaad Jaamac Garaad Ismaaciil, gudoomiyaha golaha dhexe ee Baarlamaanka SSC-Khaatumo Jaamac Yaasiin Warsame, Maayarka degmada Laascaanood C/Raxiin Cali Ismaaciil qaar ka mid ah Xildhibaanaha golaha dhexe , Saraakiisa sare ee SSC-Khaatumo iyo Cuqaasha ayaa kormeer shaqo iyo dhiiri gelin ugu tegey Halgamayaasha ku jira furimaha hore ee ay isku horadhiyaan Ciidamada SSC-Khaatumo iyo cadowga argagaxisada Somaliland . https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=234661335744884

Sadly so. On the front, 5 senior officers and their militias left Gooja cadde, and joined Gacan libaax resistance.

This is the 1st time I actually listened to his speaking all the way to the end, and in many ways, he reminds me of Trump, especially at the opening where churns his teeth, pulls faces, and twists his mouth as if to chew off his tongue. He comes across as if suffering from alzheimer's in need of medical attention. More importantly, does he hear himself? He says " ... muranka & sawaxanka siyaasadeed ee ka jira dalkana ... in laga daayo wixii ka baxsan dimuqraadiyadda ... intay dimuqaariyaddu ogashahyna, waa caadi, waanu ogallahay"; does he know the meaning of the words? If he fails to hold election on time, extends his term for 2 years, and dictates to communities against his rule, well, that is not a democracy, is it, Mr Biixi? It is dictatorship. And it is his doing.

This was an incident relating to militias loyal to Jimcaale leaving their station, getting into a car accident in the city, where they were all taken to the local police station. Jimcaale came to bail them out, but the gang leader refused to take orders. Jimcaale disarmed them forcefully, and placed them under arrest. This does not change the fact that armed militias under his command could come into the city.

And then they do the unthinkable by blaming the victims for their crimes.

The European mafias dumping toxic waste in Somalia. An Italian journalist Ilaria Alpi was murdered in Xamar for investigating chemical toxic waste dumping in Somalia. Here is documentary about her killing in Italian.

And here is the British gov't connection: The Conservative leader in the Lords, Lord Strathclyde, is on Trafigura's payroll as a director of its hedge fund, Galena Asset Management, which is based at the firm's Marble Arch office, in Portman House, Oxford Street, London. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/sep/16/inside-trafigura-pollution-conservatives

If Trafigura is dumping toxic nuclear waste in nations with functioning governments, what do you think it'll do where there is none. --------------------------- Trafigura found guilty of exporting toxic wast https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-10735255 Multinational oil trading company Trafigura produced the toxic waste on board the ship as a result of refining a dirty petroleum product called coker naphtha to mix with gasoline and sell it on as petrol. Trafigura knew the waste was hazardous, but hadn’t figured out how to dispose of it safely. Trafigura tried and failed to get rid of the waste in five countries: Malta, Italy, Gibraltar, The Netherlands and Nigeria. Instead, the toxic waste was finally dumped illegally in Côte d’Ivoire by a local company that Trafigura hired to dispose of it for just US$17,000 – a fraction of the price quoted in the Netherlands. To this day it is still not known where all the waste was dumped. Ten years ago, the cargo ship the Probo Koala reached the end of a four-month journey that resulted in toxic waste being dumped illegally in Côte d’Ivoire. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/04/trafigura-a-toxic-journey/
