  1. Indeed he is a whopping munaafaq of grade A class, and I recall what he used to say when removed as the PM. I can not wait for the day when one of them is hauled in front of Hague ala Charles Taylor. The poor lady is out of her depth, is wrong, overstepping her powers, and MUST not be abusing the powers of her office. Under the Federal Constitution, FMSs are granted some control over their airspace, albeit it falls under the 4th Power granted to the Federal Authority, as an Exclusive Power with certain limitations. Again, this is not to discount the illegal 'air piracy' acts SL is engaging in. As costly and inconvenient as it is, if airlines are instructed to fly through Xamar, they will have to do so, however it is an substantiated requirement, which any Judge would throw out, had there been functioning Courts.
  2. All airlines would heed in a 24 hour notice as and when the Somali Federal government, which is the ONLY authority on Somali airspace, issues an announcement to that effect. See, there are laws, rules and regulations which nations of the world follow.
  3. See, simple technology could be used to improve flight safety and security, and prevent criminal acts, without resorting to tyrannical acts. Still, a mutually agreeable resolution where such 'cisal walhis' does not occur must be found. ------------------------ The introduction of this new communication system aims to address the challenges faced by aircraft flying over Somalia, enhancing efficiency and safety measures. Meanwhile, Somalia clarified that the satellite phone communication system is solely employed for flights within Somaliland's airspace. The country mentioned it operates three communication systems for aircraft: VHF, satellite phone, and an internet-based device for message exchange. The VHF radio has been removed from service. Somalia implements new communication device for aircraft over Somaliland WWW.HIIRAAN.COM Mogadishu (HOL) — Somalia has introduced a new communication device for aircraft flying over Somaliland, replacing the previous...
  4. Walaal, that was the Kacaanist ideology pinned in sheer unlawful brute force, which gave birth to lawlessness. Now you know why I call you one. Your generation's brain had been soiled by the only way you know of: unlawful brute force. Just 'cos he can, does not mean he should, as there are laws governing the nations where political leaders can not just do as they please to cause harm, even if politically convenient at the time. To be clear, flight interference and wanton acts of endangering civilian lives, as the secessionists are engaging in, are illegal. There are international laws to apply and bring them to account. He can, does have control, but he MUST not.
  5. This is getting out of hand. What the effing hell is going on? So, NISA is now judge, jury, and prosecution all in one at once? There is no chance of that considering the size of the community in Xamar. Some in the Diaspora are blindly pushing that line of thinking, whipping the unsuspecting public into a false frenzy, and thus far it is falling on deaf ears, that is not to say it'll not shift quickly.
  6. In conservative estimation, I would say in multifold, if you could even find a lot in a 20 mile radius, and even in Galkacyo and Galdogob lots outside of the cities more than doubled from a year ago. No matter how good, the private sector could never replace the role of functioning, competent State institutions. Just look at the nightmare unfolding with air traffic control.
  7. It is not just propane gas, but petrol price dropped by 25%, cement price hit its lowest by 37% price drop (I think from 19$ a bag to 7$-8$ in Jan), the same applies to construction material, other imported goods etc. Size might be a factor, I'll check it in my next trip. In my previous trip, I conversed with a young man working for one of the local companies, who popped in to replace an empty tank, and a mother next door about the switch from dhuxul to gas. I am not intimately privy to their books, but as they are not open for business yet, one would not expect a steady stream of revenue, but then ships and boats do pay some taxes on arrival. No idea how that works. To the best of my knowledge, there is not, but then, never say never. As noted in an earlier post UAE tried, wanted shares, but not accepted.
  8. I understand the initial phase has started, and the initial batch of the construction equipment has arrived, and the rest is en route. The original plan was a private investment where a toll fee system would be implemented. The Wadaagsan annual conference is now in session, and more shall be known at its end.
  9. Consider qualitative measures of the project from an environmental perspective in benefits and gains. When the first gas tanker arrived, propane gas prices were very high, I think a propane tank was at 50$ for the household, and now less under 20$ (lasts up to 3 months for a family of 7), still high, but greatly reduced, and because of that, more and more people are opting for cooking with gas rather than "dhuxul", which in turn means less trees being cut down for cooking. Now, consider the environmental positive impact in 10 years time. To see it in action, just visit Sanaag to see the quick transformation in a short period, thanks to Fatima Jibril & Co., Allah yahfidhaa wa barik aqlahaa.
  10. I agree, it is inefficient. Storage tanks are being built nearby, which will remove the manual process out of the way. They bought a couple of cranes for cargo loading, and are in negotiation with a Stevedorking company to better manage cargo. The GGG road is the focus now.
  11. That could only come to pass if and when there is an agreed upon government, with sound institutions, and with political leadership entrusted with, and earned the confidence of their constituencies, yes, but not whilst the likes of the self-serving HSM advised by neophyte lasses barely out of their xafaayado, or tyrant wannabe Farmaajo counseled by rogue online agencies, are at the helm of this fragile nation. Till then, it is ground zero.
  12. Hold on, you contradicted yourself without realising it. If IOG wants to depose Bixiye, and Bixiye deployed militia to the area to defend against an imminent danger, as you posited, therefore it would make sense for IOG to dispatch his own militias to preempt, as Daljir reported. It is as if whoever penned the bulletin was briefed by intel from a source other than the one which briefed you, yet, according to you, it is fake news. Having you been frequenting the bile well far too often to realise the folly in your step? I though Daljir were supportive of the Awdal movement, or were they supporting the wrong clan, in your computation. Damn clan politics. Postscript: Here are the correct verses of the poem, of Qamaan Bulxan, you seem to be having trouble with. Baadida ninbaa kula deydeya daalna kaa badane Oon doonahayn inaad heshana daayin abidkaaye Dadkuna moodi duul wada dhashoon wax u dahsoonayne Dallo malaha aakhiro haddii loo kitaab dayaye Adna gabayga waad nagu danqiye daacaddii maqane Dubkaa nagaga kaa yaal haddii lagugu deyrshaaye
  13. 480 CLAN MILITIAS TRAINED IN DJIBOUTI TO TAKE CONTROL OF SAYLAC Daljir has learned that since Ethiopia declared its intention to take control of the Saylac Coast of Somalia, President Ismail Omar Guelleh (IOG) @IsmailOguelleh of Djibouti has been busy developing a parallel plan to also take control of the Saylac coast. IOG has recently convened Awdal clan and business leaders for a meeting in Djibouti. The meetings were initially advertised as a reconciliation conference for the two major clans in the region, the Gadabuursi and the Isse clans. While the clan leaders are still meeting in Djibouti, reliable sources are now telling Daljir Media that they eventually turned into meetings to strengthen Isse clan unity. So far, there is no reliable information if that was by design or a result of IOG getting cold feet in confiding his Saylac plans to the Gadabuursi clan. In Djibouti, with Isse clan unity strengthened, IOG asked his Isse clansmen that he will train and arm 480 clan militias who would take control of Saylac and environs. IOG selected a Colonel by the name Elmi to run the operation. With all 480 clan militias fully trained and armed, the militia leaders have now been ordered to depart and take control of Saylac. However, there is a slight problem. Somaliland has been closely following the events in Djibouti and has brought in few hundred heavily armed militias at the Lawyacade crossing. Colonel Elmi, not wanting any armed confrontations at the border crossing, now ordered the clan militia to head south to Geestiir and then trek all the way up to Saylac. With Somaliland aware of IOG's plans, there are now reports that some of @musebiihi's militias at the Lawyacado crossing have been ordered back to Saylac. If that happens, Col. Elmi of Djibouti has been instructed to take on the remaining Somaliland militias at the Lawyacado border crossing and move on to Saylac as a backup for the clan militias. This points out to an imminent clash taking place between Djibouti army and Somaliland militias, either at the Lawyacado crossing or in Saylac. With Saylac on the crosshairs of Ethiopia with the backing of the UAE, some questions are worth asking: what is IOG's purpose of creating an armed confrontations against Muse Bihi, when that could be an excuse for Abiy Ahmed to come to Muse Bihi's rescue? Why is the Gadabuursi clan not part of the trained clan militias that are supposedly to take control of Saylac? Is the Somali government party to the taking of Saylac, or is it solely an IOG military operation? Do the Gadabuursi clan leaders approve of the Saylac operation? We don't have the answers yet, but as sources close to IOG's Saylac operation tell Daljir, expect answers in the next couple of weeks or even earlier. > Daljir Media
  14. SOMALI PARLIAMENT APPROVES A NEW SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH TURKIYE Somalia is once again back in the Turkiye security umbrella as the Somali parliament earlier today overwhelmingly approved a Defense and Economic Cooperation Agreement. While Turkiye for the last ten years has proved to be a reliable friend of Somalia and has contributed to the rebuilding of Somalia's armed forces, President @HassanSMohamud has sidelined Turkiye in favor of UAE. UAE, a close friend of Ethiopia, is alleged to be backing Ethiopia's ambitions of seizing the Saylac coast of Somalia; hence, a new security agreement with Turkiye to help safeguard Somalia's territorial integrity and maritime boundaries. Meanwhile, there are no details if the security agreement with Turkiye supercedes the one with the UAE and Ethiopia, as the parliament just rubber-stamped the new security agreement without knowing the details. Similarly, the parliament has yet to receive the security agreements with the UAE and Ethiopia. > Daljir Media https://twitter.com/radiodaljir/status/1760339828057498075?s=20
  15. Waar bal u yare kaadi, waa xiwaar mandaq saliim ah u baahan, darajadaana ka yare sareeya e. Remember we agreed we shall elevate the public discourse where the Somali peninsula is concerned?
  16. I am all for treaties with Muslim nations i.e. Turkiye, Masr, Emeraat, Qatar etc, but it MUST be UNDER the right circumstances, BY the right leadership, and AFTER the nation has reached political harmony. Not a knee jerk reaction, as is the case now. More importantly, and in practicality, from Marka to Ras Kamboni (SW/JL), from Garacad to Las Qoray (PL), and from Xiis to Zaylac (SL) fall beyond the purview of the Federal government, under SW, JL, PL, and SL administrations, two of which are not even on good terms; how is Turkiye going to operate in those waters without their involvement and agreement? Agreed.
  17. A brief sample of Natural Resources of the Somali peninsula. Uranium Somalia has an estimated 10,200 tonnes of uranium reserves, with 7,600 tonnes of it potentially commercially recoverable, though at relatively high expense Oil & Gas According to 2D seismic conducted by TGS in 2014, there could be 30 billion barrels of crude across 15 blocks. "I think the potential is there for multiple tens of billions of barrels, recoverable, or even more over time," Anderson said. "Just the areas we are looking at would be in that range, in the upside case, and that is just in our blocks." HydroElectric dams It is imperative to note that an estimated 100 to 120 MW of hydropower is said to be available in Somalia, yet the country is currently only extracting 4% of it. Wind and Solar The Stimson Center explains that “Somalia has the highest resource potential for onshore wind power in Africa and the country experiences 3,000 hours of sunlight per year with daily solar radiation ranging between 5-7 kWh/m2 per day, which equates to strong solar photovoltaic electricity generation capacity.” Furthermore, Somalia “could potentially produce up to 45,000 MW from wind and 2,000 MW from solar power.” Geothermal Djibouti has a geothermal potential estimated at 1,000 MW, enough to meet the country’s electricity demand, of which 50% of the population does not yet have access to electricity. Salt Somalia once had the biggest salt factory in the world. The Hafun Salt Factory was established in the Hafun area in northern Italian Somalia. Before the destruction of the salt factory, the plant produced about 200,000 metric tons of salt which were mainly exported to Far East Asia.

The new bases will be associated with the Somali military's Danab Brigade, established in 2017 following an agreement between the U.S. and Somalia to recruit, train, equip, and mentor 3,000 men and women from across Somalia to build a strong infantry capability within the Somali army. The brigade has been pivotal as a quick-reaction force in efforts to repel the extremist group al-Shabab.
