This guy spends more of his time in the clouds than on the ground.

I think "Republic of Adal" is better. Macrobia is of European source and the Europeans should have nothing to do with our names.

Turkigu waa colonists shaadh diimeed kuusoo xidhay. They realised they can get anything they want from Mogadishu. Puntland and Jubbaland should insist that any contracts signed with Turkey without their explicit approval, is unconstitutional and so nul and void.

I knew this for a long time. I knew that for a lot of Somalis, Islam is just skin deep and doesn't reach anywhere near the heart. The reason is, for anyone with absolute faith and who is grounded in Quranic principles, doing what a lot of Somalis do would be impossible.

This is a tragedy. This is a total betrayal of our God, faith, values, dignity, national interest, and brethren in Islam. I am sure if we had spent half the energy we had spent on seeking recognition trying to make the former Republic work for all of us, today we would be in a much better place. May Almighty Allah save us from His anger and punishment.

Welcome back mudane. I think this place aged and is nearing retirement.

That is pure evil. I am sure such a base would be the most attacked in the world and I would gladly join the attacking party.

He wants Puntland and Somaliland to work together on trade and the movement of people across the borders, which should be welcomed.

If Puntland can fight and defeat Alshabaab and Daesh, why can't the FG?

Mr Trump has done something similar in Europe too. Now the European have realised that they can not rely on the US for defence, so now there is a rush to rearm.

We also have a great potential for generating renewable energy from solar and wind. I read somewhere that we can produce more electricity from wind than Ethiopia can produce from its dams. I think the Somali people need only a couple of decades of peace, consistant political stability, and the rule of law to kick start transformative economic development.

Which clans are in conflict? The Somali clans have no issues between them. It is the career politicians who are determined to make a living out of the people's misery. Let alone follow the rules, they break every agreement and corrupt every system put in place. The masses are equally guilty for supporting such low quality men.

Don't you think that if the Zionists colonised our land instead of Palestine, today they would be much better off and would have had much less resistance?

This is beautiful. Since childhood, I always liked Boosaaso and the Bari region. I have never been there and I don't know the reason, but I have always had a soft spot for that region, one of my favourites in the whole Somali territories. I truly believe, if the Somali people didn't worship a deity called qabiil, we could have had Africa's largest economy and most developed nation.

This sounds like a theocratic dictatorship!! The public must reject any attacks on their freedoms under the guise of religion. Once they get away with one "restriction", more will follow soon after.
