Tigray forces Recapture Mekelle

[Tigray forces Recapture Mekelle]

Che, and galbeedi said it before. What we are seeing is simply an African yoguslavia. The scenes are different but the narrative is the same. As I said, the hyeanas of Ethiopia, the wayanaha or TPLF, amd tigreega were determined by 1991 to make a system that they could manipulate.. It worked for 30 years, but when the fake hoxaist Meles, the arch-murderor and killer of Somalis, a despicable of man who used as a colonial dog to invade Somalia when Somalis finally rid-themselves from rats if mogadishu. Clan-warlords like Muuse Suudi, Cabdi And 2 others guys whose name I cant name, but one hails from ceelbuur and the other one from galmudug. During 90-ties and early 2000, they terrorized the native banadiri-somalis and the proud bimal, bagadi and geledi (see geledi kingdom).

These were the dark ages of Somalia. When the somalis got fed up and Islah and the  the muslim brotherhood had set ut private universities, somalis expiremented with political Islam. Who knows the Islamic court system maxaakimta islaam launched a blietz kerig and captured 80  percent of the nation. They clearly said that they wanted to unite the nation and islamic scholars hailing from puntland was formed. Had they inaded puntland would have fallen , Who knows, after a great "somali-islamic summit",  The third Somali republic would have been the Islamic republic of Iran. . But as we are somalis, we are quick to take rashless decisions. After the succses We had xassan dahir aweys openly talking about soomali-galbeed.

The bush regime who barely could distuinguish national islamic movement branded them as terrorists despute having no links with Bin laden,  They first used to rats, the rats fled, one fled by boat. Then the american imperialists used the hyeanas of Ethiopua. A hyeana is animal that often eats meat slain by the lion. 

While it was Shacbiya EPLF under Saleh Sabbe who came up with the idea using the christiab eritreab tigrayab troops to infiltrate and train TPLF they did so. They did so well so they could take power,  A war was launched and in order to humiliate Somalis, the Ethiopian "embassy" flag during SYL day in may.  Heyeba Seyoum Mesfin who is now dead  and was killed in the conflct was the one raising the flag.  Sio now what-?

First of all, a somali insided in the foregin office of Somalia told me that Afwerqi net with the american ambassador. Afweqru who made his land into somekind of an orwellian north korea knows he is short if money. Afwerqi has nor forgotten movenent the forto couo, A couo led by the tigre ethic grouo.

They are also called beja or benu aner and by jeberti tigrinja, It said thar a relative of Awerqu was working in the building when all minsteril buildings were captured. On fortunately the couosters made the deadly sin of not having a insider in the building who knows how to operate, While coupsters were talking and thinking they were live on air that relative plugged the cable of the news. Afewqri sent troops and fighting was heard for over 4 hours, coup leaders were arrested and executed, the ramaining 5 christians were also shot. This hows how fragile has become. Just look at the freedom parties, seldom will you see muslims taking part of them.

The ambassador gave him 48 hours withdraw his heavy troops and 3 weeks for infantry. Guess what guys? Once the Eritrean army went, the federal ethiopian troops simply vanished. Gaalka gartiiisa sii. The oromo soldiers were actually the first  one to hand over their uniform and gun and leave.  Those are willing to fight are the Amhara. The ragtag Anhara fought and were massacred when the ttplf trapped them in. They executed them one by one and left non-amxara soldiers alone. They Tplf secured border and forced the amxara region issue a statement defining welkatr as amhara,

Who is the winner and who is the loser?

1-Caabey  Anxaari lost. His mission was to eliminate them. The cease fire gives the TPLF time ro re iorganize, and making a ceas fire ti party that you yesterday branded terrorists  is in a way making them a legitimate. He has to talk to them.

2-Other regions saw the weakness of army This wil embolen the western christian oromos. The eastern oromos who side side with Somalis, qeero youth are now literally the polce, OLF soldiers  have become police officers,  One Somali in nazreeti that the ioromos  renamed adama qeero youth stormed every police department and ejected every amhara,  They did this under with the support of Oromiya reagin.

In conclusion.

Cabey Anxaaro is ockupied with catching the thousands of flies and jinni that came out of the pandorax box, mainly ethnic nationalism. Once that box is opended and fuel is lit and the house burning (tigray)  you can only watch. Mustafa Omar in soomali-gallbed waa in uu ku mashquulo raising somali nationalism buy weapons. Instead of going to gondar sending blessings upon Menelik he should have gone to afar region  and oromo region. I guess he knows, if Somalia is weak he is also weak. 

 

[Rethinking Amisoms role in Somalia? more importantly where is Somalia heading?]

How many years have it been since amisom arrived in Somalia? 10 years? 12 years? As the world is watching the government of Afghanistan failing to stop the talibans advance to the capital its impossible not ask if the same fate awaits Mogadishu. While the taliban  in a clever way distanced themselves from the al-qaida world view of a never ending "jihad" against the west, they never abandoned their sunni xanafi and sufi naqshbandi madhab and rebranded themselves as afghan "islamic-nationalists". As the USA slowly accepted this narrative gullable somalis abandoned the  sunni shafite madhab and sufi qadariya to the saudi wahabi way. Al-shabaab made the disastrous  political move of pledging allegiance to al-qaida and by so joined the world view of a "never ending jihad" against anyone who disagrees with themselves.    While we on this forum quarell about farmajo or the former somali presidents the de-facto situation on the table is that somali minister cant even travel by car from mogadishu to baidoa, or from mogadishu to kismayou, or to the north, from mogadishu to galkacayo and onworth to hargeysaa.

The Hyeanas of Ethiopia,  the tplf introduced the federal system in Somalia as a way of controlling Somalia as they controlled the oromiya, amhara region. Who  here in this forum remembers the yellow sopha that every somali leader had sit on.  Those who defended federalism claimed that it was necessary as somali  ethnic nationalism was as its lowest point. They argued if the clan is the problem let Somalia regress to its clan borders and lets put the federal regions the responsibility of ridding themselves  of al-shabaab and making stability. The formula of 4.5 would be temporary.  

While a dying post-menelik Ethiopia is dying the wacalka gaalka  Caabey Axmed is liiterally trying force the flies that came out of the pandoras box that the TPLF unleashed mainly oromo nationalism and ethnic nationalism. Ethiopia will probably see a much more bloodier Yugoslavia break up if the West do not intervene. I personally do not think that they will intervene. The west is done. We are seeing the dwindling power of the US.  Syria is a fact to this.

But the equation that does not add up is where do we somalis see ourselves in 10 years?.  For all the mumbo and jumbo we know that federal government of Somalia is an institution under the tutelage of the UN. Without the european  aid and the us aid to the FGS it would crumble.  Is it wrong to see mogadishy as a living saigon?  Its a city literally under siege.    Being the top number 1 corruption also means the people lack faith in the federal court systems. A testimony to that  was a court file made by wifes family regarding the dhaxal issues. While the courts wanted money the opposite side went to ceelasha biyaha and the inlaw got a message with 10 dollars to buy cloths for his funeral if he did not attend the hearing. As brutal as it might sound the poor fellow went to ceelasha biyaha and he actually won the case.  It was a done deal.  The funny side to this story is that in law is a musician and a buisnessman belongs the middle class of mogadishu. As a man who worked under Barres government he hated al-shabaab and what they stood for.

In the north 30 years has gone since the three clan towns proclaimed to be nation. The world rejected this and on top of this a part of this "democratic nation" that does everything brainwash its youth  that the 15-teenth may is  blessed day, the day 26 june is almost unheard off. The day when the white man who looted and colonised Somaliland left and yokes of oppression was broken has been  systematically dismantled.  Historical revisionism as its best. Nor they teach their children how grown men were taken from berbere and put in a zoo so the british white people could watch the "nomadic somalis" as  entertainment.  If they were truly democratic they would not inprison fellow "landers" wearing blue clothes or voicing unionist stances.  The charade as a African democracy works fine for BBC propaganda but the charade would have been better if the minority landers who are unionist would be allowed to have party instead of the 3-junta party-system they created.  That generation is dying.  The truth is slowly coming out. They Somalis and their fate will allways be connected to their fellow somali brothers and sisters.

 

Lasty  Where is Somalia actually heading? We have a president who instead of trying to heal Somalis, instead of learning the tremendous damages done by his uncle Barre, A man who literally destroyed somalia and fragmented Somalia, compare that to midget amxaaro mengistu, when asked by the Amhara population to be armed he  refused and orderd his defeated army to obey the orders of the rebel army who were flooding to the capital. After the tigrayans were toppled voa amharic conducted a lengthy interview with mengistu. Before the interview his fellow woleyta dasela mariam took photos with mengistu.  Mengistu old and dying wanted to be rememberd as the one who saved Ethiopia from eternal damnation and ethnic stife. eretriyaanki soomaliya joogi jiray who understands amharic told me that his sole legitimacy and sole arguement was pointing the finger at Somalia. When the journalist asked him tough questions regarding the merciless killings he simply replied "I am  and was progressive  (anti feudal, communist ) ethiopian.  If I would have wanted power I could have armed gondar. Would have taken such a evil task of arming militias on ethnic basis we would have turned up as Somalia. "look at barre and ghaddafi". 

He even had the audacity use a slur word for somalis meaning uncultured and wild. The journalist, an oromo fired back and said "according to some you relocated amhara people to lands owned and cultivated oromos and did so under communism. Is that not the ethnic chauvanism.? Mengistu the midget showed his anger and said in strong voice "weyane we behind selling of eritrea and what is wrong with ethiopians moving to other cities, you are in washington, are you evil if you move to california.  This will probably the last interview the midget will give. He wanted to the historians to correct his murderous regime. Unfortunately Barre died before he could give a lengthy interview-  But  AUN Barre literally in the deepest meaning of the word opened up the army caches of Somalia to clan militias and even arrested the respected leaders of the manifesto group. A civilian group that included Aaaden Cadde, The 2 famous human rights lawyer Avokate Maxamed Rajis and many more. He ignored him and the nation was damned to have internal strife in 30 years ony come to the solution that we regressed to having clan enclaves.

Clan enclaves is how the colonialists found us.  Coming back somali politics. It was horrendous to see farmaajo trying to postpone elections. Would have he have succeeded in what sixroolaha Casayas Afwerki told him the whole healing process of a h-block  president stepping down and  D-block president appointed  glory and hope in Mogadishu. Those were signs of that tribal healing was having effect.  Instead of that in uu kursiga ka dhago, it amazes me. The erratic diplomatic relations, spurring with UN while your whole army is funded by the UN is playing with peoples nationalist sentiments and using that your  political gain. I hope that Somalia never  sees a president that is bent or had a vision of Barres regime as one of beacon of hope. While Xassan Sheekh worked witihin the countrey he knew how fragile it was.

 

He was the one who compromised on Jubbaland, what could he do?  He was not perfect he did not dismiss the parliament as an institution that became nacamkuyaal.. I am still confused. Where is Somalia actually? Does Somalia have the powet to rid itself with takfiiri-wahabiyada ideology or does it  not?   The only non erratic thing  Farmaajo is  that he stood by turkey even if the Saudis wived neutrality  as taking side with Qatar.  What do you guys think, where us actually heading?

[John Magufuli, coronavirus-denying president of Tanzania, dies at 61 - COVID killed him]

Magafuli was a docorand in chemistry  and fully understood the virus. He knew that that white europeans who stockpiled wheat for lockdowns could afford long lockdownds. Instead imitatating gaalada cadaanka he simply had to choose between cholea and plague. Lockdown and starvation or  a free society with economical growth.  He was wise to choose the later.  Tanzania has worse problems, malaria, cholera etc more deadly diseases.

I am not defending his decision but I remember going to work that the swedish public service radio were mocking him for saying "god will protect us".  They did not comment on the economical reasons for defying lock downs in Tanzania. But when Bolsanaro, gaalka cadaanka the white man refused lock downs and said "god will protect us" nobodt mentioned the god thing and the white analysts concentrated that bolsenaro the Brazilian racist president choose  economy rather then lock downs and saving lives.

This media narrativ shows we still in a cold post colonial order where the black man is demonised to his death while white man is magnified.    According to the UNDP Tanzania was suffering from drought and huge locust problems, how will you feed your ppl if you lock your people indoor?

Even the old empress of Germany Merkel was criticized for her lock downs when the scientific community said that they infarct had no effect, she wanted a absolute lock down during Easter

Twelve years later, Culusoow is still at it:

Resignation of Farmajo Is the Right Option before Somalia Falls Apart

The high level of political antagonism, public agitation, insecurity, and fear for violence afflicting Somalia demand the immediate resignation of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo as the right option before Somalia falls apart.

The most important task for all Somalis and international Partners is to defuse with urgency the current turmoil that is getting worse by the day.

Time has run out for credible, fruitful, and satisfactory negotiation between President Farmajo and Somali political stakeholders. Thus, the immediate resignation of President Farmajo who is in lame duck period is imperative.

All well-wishers of Somalia must unite their voices to appeal to president Farmajo for immediate resignation for the best interest of his country and people.  Caretaker authority should conduct the indirect election within 60-90 days.

After four years of political and security disaster for abusive government, economic decline, high casualties and destructions for the attacks of emboldened terrorist groups, subjugation of the federal member states (FMS) by the federal government (FG), state election frauds, ineffective federal parliament, and strangulation and humiliation of Somaliland state, Somalia is on the verge of complete relapse into civil strife and state collapse. The failure for preparing a timely, credible one person one vote elections and the manipulations of the implementation of the agreed indirect elections all for the political goal of seizing illegally the state power are immediate triggers of civil unrest.

The decline Somalia suffered in the past four years is incalculable and inexcusable. The four-year colossal failure has been exposed during the 2020 annual conference of the Forum for Ideas organized by the Heritage Institute for Policy studies, held in Garowe, Puntland on December 30, 2020 – January 2, 2021. 

Apart from the federal and state programs, projects, and activities started in the past and the obligations outlined in the provisional constitution and numerous legal instruments, the UN Security Council (UNSC) provided the elected President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo on February 8, 2017 a roadmap for a successful term in office.  

The UNSC issued the presidential statement – S/PRST/2017/3 – on 10 February 2017, first to congratulate president-elect Farmajo, the people of Somalia, the United Nations Mission for Somalia (UNSOM), the African Union Mission (AMISOM) and peacekeeping forces, and the international partners for the successful conclusion of the electoral process and to pay tribute to the outgoing president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud for his services and swift and gracious transfer of power. The world watched and applauded the images of three Somali presidents – former, incumbent, and elected one – holding hands up together for celebration after the declaration of the presidential election results.

Secondly, the UNSC statement emphasized “the importance of governing in a spirit of national unity to maintain the momentum towards democratic governance.” It also urged president Farmajo to take active steps to lay the foundations for inclusive and transparent elections in four year time. Other priorities outlined in the UNSC statement were the appointment of cabinet in consultation with the federal parliament, attention to the immediate risk of famine befallen the country at that time, the acceleration of agreement between the FG and FMS on federal security architecture,  good faith cooperation between FG and FMS authorities in order to accelerate peace and state building process, Somali-led constitutional review, comprehensive reconciliation  process that promotes national cohesion and integration at all levels for effective federal political system, respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, increased transparency and accountability of public financial management to advance good governance. Any responsible person understands the focus, expertise, and mobilization efforts required for addressing each task. The statement warned president Farmajo that the months following his election were very important period for Somalia’s future.

Most importantly, the UNSC reminded pointedly President Farmajo that the ultimate goal of all those efforts was “to ensure that public office in Somalia cannot be achieved through harassment, intimidation, corruption, and manipulation.” Please pose for a moment on this goal as benchmark with the four-year experience in Somalia. Finally the UNSC assured president Farmajo’s administration its support for peace, stability, and development.

After three months, on May 11, 2017, delegations from the federal and states governments of Somalia and the International Partners of Somalia met in London to agree on four year cooperation framework engraved into a partnership agreement, a security pact, and an official communiqué. All those documents have formalized the issues mentioned in the UNSC statement.  Unfortunately, all fell on deaf ears because president Farmajo had in mind deleterious secret plan that has ruined the future of Somalia to the point that after four years Somalia is on brink of civil war and state implosion. The guiding tenet of President Farmajo is abuse of stakeholders for personal loyalty.   

President Farmajo come into power with the deleterious secret plan based on use of brutal force, divide and conquer policy, and use of corruption and patronages to establish “Sultanism” or a system of personal rule mirroring “despotic military regime” rather than establishing “an accountable democratic federal republic of Somalia” as stipulated in the provisional constitution. He surrounded himself with young, vulnerable, inexperienced, unprincipled individuals motivated by exigencies forcing them to show their loyalty in every way necessary in exchange for public position and resources. The respect of the rule of law is disdained. 

President Farmajo’s political slogan “peace and life” has been translated into “obedience to the supreme ruler of Somalia – President Farmajo.” The constitution, the democratic norms and values, the declaration of human rights, lessons for peace and state building governance in failed states or divided societies, the traumatic experience of despotic government in Somalia, the numerous resolutions and statements of the UNSC, the agreements with International Partners, and the Islamic teaching for the rulers did not guide President Farmajo in fulfilling his public duties as a leader of poor and vulnerable people and fragile country. 

Indeed, President Farmajo has deceitfully worked hard to thwart the fundamental principal of governing in the spirit of harmony, cohesion, integration, and unity. He sabotaged in any way possible the genuine cooperation between FG and FMS, and serious discussion of the electoral model feasible after it became clear that one person one vote election in 2020 was impossible and term extension was unacceptable.  

After months of political chaos and frictions following the meetings of the presidents of the FMS in Dhusamareb, the National Consultative Council (NCC), composed of the FG and FMS endorsed the indirect election model on September 17, 2020 in an acrimonious meeting that took place in Mogadishu. This was a bitter pill for President Farmajo who in revenge decided to scuttle the implementation process by appointing his diehard loyalists to the federal electoral committee and by fomenting civil war in Gedo region.

Consequently, the dispute over the partisan committee and Gedo region upheaval halted the implementation of election process because President Farmajo adamantly refused to dismiss the committee for violations of the membership conditions, to stop intervention in Gedo region and  finally to dismiss the director of National Intelligence Services Agency (NISA) Fahad Yassin from office for his blatant involvement in the federal and state elections for violations of the constitution and free and fair election principles. As of today, Somalia has no legitimate representative federal parliament after the constitutional mandate of the parliamentarians ended on December 27, 2020. In the meantime, armed confrontation flared up in Hirshabelle State for dispute over election.   

 President Farmajo has never shown the essential leadership qualities of faithfully respecting the constitution and good governance practices, fulfilling and defending the public accountability responsibility, honoring integrity and good judgement for associating himself with diverse, honest, responsible, patriotic, qualified and experienced public servants, negotiating in good faith with state leaders, opponents, and other stakeholders, and honoring faithfully his public commitments, and valuing the calls of the UNSC.

For example, he expressed grievance and strong dissatisfaction with the electoral agreement reached collectively behind closed doors at the ceremonies after the conclusions of Dhusamareb and Mogadishu meetings. That attitude is clear and convincing evidence that president Farmajo lacks the leadership qualities of faithful protector and defender of the constitution and faithful negotiator and executor of political bargaining with stakeholders. Donors are considering suspension of aid to Somalia because of human rights violations, especially against free media, public protest, and election integrity.

Before too late, the presidents of the FMS, the civil society, and international partners, former members of the federal parliament, and international partners should request the resignation of president Farmajo before January 15, 2021. That patriotic action will save Somalia from catastrophic future.

[SNM president meets Uhuru of Kenya.]

30 years has gone Xaaji Xunjuf.  That is  a long time. The facts on the ground has radically changed. As the government in Mogadishu, weak as it maybe, protected by Amisom tanks, the rise of Mogadishu can not be denied.  Somalilands pokers card was indeed its  stability and could point the finger at the south during the 90-ties and during the TPLF-Weyane invasion of Somalia.  It could harness sympathy for its cause.  Thats gone now. 

That poker card is used and it  gave zero.  The second blow to Somaliland was  the fall of the TPLF-weyane regime. Cabeey Axmed was the one who wanted pressure Mr Muuse in SNM giving up its secession. He failed at it but once again the ethiopia card was lost.   30 years of empty promises creates dissent and in certain areas of the Somaliland intellectuals  some are starting the project that was done hastly in 1991.   

I do not think a recognition is close neither will it ever be close. Certain areas are clan-disputed.  Muuse Biixi best chance might be going to UAE and ask the UAE to use their zionist connections for a Trumpish recognition but that feels far fetched, But if I was him I would rather be in Dubai then sitting among Kenyans.  I really thought Biixi had political muscles but he has not. He is still thinking as a soldier. If Egal would be alive I think he would have been on a plane to UAE .  

[Siyaad Barre and his legacy- The failed state of Somalia]

As times go memories go by fast.  First of all AUN  to the old man. What ever he did, the day will come when he will asked for his deeds. Today while drinking  tea at a Somali cafe,  a  famous  old general    and who was a colonel during Siyaad Barres time and me and a Somali Phd holder in sociology were discussing issues related to covid-19 and how Somalis in Scandinavia has been hard hit by this virus. We all agreed that everything that could go wrong had gone wrong. Somehow the discussion slipped into the recent events of Ethiopia.  The old former colonel  alle cimrigiisa ha dheeriiyo told us Somalia had intelligence  reports it was only matter of time when Menelik' Amhara-centric empire would have severe dissent or dissolve.

He said that he knew that any opposition member to Itoobiya during 70-ties would be screened and be given a hostel and if he needed it (if he was big shot) they would have diplomatic Somali passports.  No wonder why Isayas and Meles , Lencho Letta were all Somali citizens with diplomatic passports.  As the topic progressed   the colonel said despite the dissent against SIyaad Barre. He never thought the country would be in a state of anarchy. When the sociologist asked why.  The colonel said Af-wayne crossed all boundaries. He said he himself had to flee not because of him being affiliated with the clans supporting  Siyaad Barre. He said that once the arms depots were being opened to the people. He knew at that time that it would be impossible to control city.  Mengistu Xayle Maryam, like him or not, he was a half-caste communist amhara. Once the soviet -cuban support slowed down and the armed jabhado were winning he knew he was playing a losing game.

His final orders to the standing Ethiopian army  in 1991 was not to resist the EPRDF entry to Addis Abeba.  Mengistu, had if he wanted set the whole countrey at fire by opening the arms depot in gondar and Bahri-dahar to Amhara civilians. He could have used the ethnic card to gain support but choose not to do so.  Siyaad Barre,  After the so called prominent maanifesto group met him and he assured   hem that he would step down in in a Radio adress Instead chose to make a  radio speach urging the people "Beeraha falla" A bizarre speech indeed to make when USC was at the gates of Mogadishu. He then chose to open the arms depot to certain clans and he 100% tried to use the clan-card to stay in power. You choose, the midget Mengistu  or af wayne Siyaad Barre?   Those who are inclined to intellectually defend him might bring his af-soomaliga campaign but the truth is that the civilian government in 1960-ties had already a commission for writing of Af-Soomali. What Af-weyne did was only to continue with that commission.  Those who who have nostalgia for the glorious 80--ties are mistaken.  AUN jaale madaxwayne Maxamed Siyaaad Barres legacy will be that he chose anarchy in  his lust for power while mengistu chose ethiopian nationalism. The devilish "jabhado" that overthrew him were no better.. They were worse but He was ultimately the one who set the standard for them.

Abey Ahmed failed and they had to find a new nation to take pictures with and show it to the people.  "Warhoooy, dayaaaa fiiriya, waa kanaa Keenyaati baan aragnay ICTRAAAFKIII" baa soo dhaw. That line has been used so many times at Meles Zenawis famous yellow couch.  The people of Somaliland are  really asking them  its been 30 years of "ictraafki baa soo dhaw". Instead of the leadership in Hargeisa choose  to cut dies with UN and China.

Somali--landers intellectuals are now seriously re-thinking the path of secession. If the project state building falls in the south and the way it looks like Its not. For presidents have peacefully left and re-elected that kind of stability might be the death blow to this  whole secessionist thinking. Cracks are appearing within their own fold. Their own intellectuals are saying  we cant continue anymore.. Whats happens next depends on the news generation of Somalilanders despite of the hate-somalinimo propaganda they have been fed these years realize that they are indeed soomali.

[Masar wants a base, too]

Egypt is a nation on free falls. Gone are the days when somalis , ereteeriya and suudaan would tune in on raadiyo qaahiro, or the days when poor students would get an education in Nassers Egypt. As soon as the arab nationalism failed and Egypt capitulated to the zionists and agreed to get a loaf a bread of from the west that day Egypt slowly died as a major player.  Masaarida were influential Africa and fueled pan-africanism  to such an extent  y that all major african  de-colonised nations refused to recognize Israel.  Instead on capitalizing on the islamic revival and the de-colonial aspects of Sheekheena Shahiidka Xassan Banna it chose the opposite side.  It believed by behaving as the colonised they would become like the west and ended up as stooges. 

AUN Maxamed Siyaad Barre. Kolley waxuu gaystay Qiyaamaha ayuu la tagaaa. But one of his great mistakes was making Somalia member of the Arab league in his thirst for money. It instead created some kind of identity crisis.  Once colonised stooges of Masar are ousted and the  legitmate sons of Hassan Banna like the martyr Mohammed Morsi takes power nothing with change in Masar. One Masaari friend of mine told me that even social mobility is dead in the country.  A tiny minority arabised  egyptians of turkish origin rule country.  They marry with each other and established a Egyptian nomenklatura. A  soviet style nomenklatura based upon class and family ties.

Soomaliya does not need Egypt  neither does it need animosity with Egypt.  We have come to a stage in our de-colonized minds that we see our interests first. Take for a example the dam project in Ethiopia. If Somalia could tap into the massive overflow of electricity it is in our interest to see the black kids of Ethiopia and Somalia to read be able to read at night with electric lamps.  Think about it,  What  Turkish alliance did for Somalia could be accounted for what 40 years of membership in the so called Arab league did.

Egypt is people is being choked to the death. Until the brotherhood gains power in that country the decline will continue.

Sergeey Buubkas time is over MMA and I think you know that deep inside.  Whats more interesting is that their is somekind mass-psycosis happening in Mogadishu. Some people engaging in party politics calling themselves as "oppositon" and some people being government supporters. To be honest thats healthy but the reality on the ground is that  Mogadishu is literally under siege by al-shabaab. They controll all exit routes from Mogadishu. You cant even as an nobody government offical take the highway to Badioa janaay, up to xaaran ku naaxyada in  southern Gaalkacayo and south to Kismaayo.

Al-shabaab has developed from rag-tag militia to become a vicious organisation with structure of a parallel state.

They  are biding their time and now waiting for Xalane to be vacated.  Its time that that the FGS or those who want to see Soomaaliya rise again to unite weather they are opposition politicians or government supporters.  The best example of this bizarre situation is Afghanistan. While the Taliban were gaining control the presidential candidates were busy  accusing each other of cheating. The US defeated by the Taliban bypassed the afghan state and negotiated.  This will likely not happen because of al-shabaab's alignment to Al-qaeda. But why would they care? They controll the seas from Jabuuti. 

Wallaahi waa Yaab.

Perhaps after 30 years you are more “nordic” inside than you care to admit.

 

ps: the kacaan government was infamous for killing sheikhs and suppressing islam.

Apophis. From an academica religious theological l view point what happened during these is significant. Who knows, I might be nordic after some 30 years but felt at home when I landed in Mogadishu.  And I was 100 % certain that if the civil war  did not happen I would live a happy privileged   "bourgeois" life. Instead I am condemned  to daily racist abuse as black man living in a nordic nation.

Not good news. Alshababi needs to be kept in check. We need the drones to target anyone determined to kill innocent Somalis.

What a tongue twister statement Holac. Drones do kill and they do kill innocent Somalis.  My question for forum members is once the aid and xalande disaapears will somanimino, midnimimo and brotherhood keep us together or we will we continue fighting each other? Forget Al-shabaab. I am now talking about the donor dependent FGS and its fragile instututions.

Afgooye, Baidoa, dhul gaduudka, it would grow their. If Kenya can grow it trust so can Afgooye. What I boggled my mind is that why the jareer community that are primary farmers  did not try to grow to this crop. It would probably yield them 100x profit,?

"Trump orders American tropps to leave Somalia"

While living a simply successful life in a nordic, a steady job a pharmacist and a distinct interest Islams sunni traditional inner out look, its meta-physical understanding Sufism and intiated in Qaadariya dariiqa I had a fully fledged schedule. Raising a family and being pharmacist in one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies  in this Nordic country and being the chair-man of a small somali mosque. No  Somali academic has written about this but the religious spectrum of Somali changed during these 30 years.  If Ethiopia changed from Coptic identity to a catholic one, thousands of Phd dissertations would be made.  Somalia though hade gone from sunni shafite to sunni-salafi-wahabi. Even if most people  still traditional those with influence had gone to saudi way. 

While during my teens my intense yearning about Islam and sufism took me to Azhar for 2 years I had the pleasure be to be initiated in the Qaadariya by a well known but deceased shaykh. May God blessings be upon him. He was my guide and taught me the basic of the dariiqada. During 2019 a very close family member of mine who never could understand my interest  and who at that time was a minister who had always been a minister or an mp since Carta called me and said to me that the relative had a religious obligations upon me. I had to visit him/her. I do not wish to disclose the genus of that person so that's why the use him/her. The relative of mine also said that a friend, Amine Hersi Mooge, a somali-kenyan multi billionaire wished to make inroads to the pharmaceutical world and needed a european connection.  A politely denied. Somalia was never my thing.  I have been to Turkey in a city called Konya and lived with fellow turkish qadariya xerows for 2 weeks and 1 week in Senegal but not Somalia. I took a month of vacation and handed over the keys to the mowlaca to a fellow xerow and left for Somalia. With all expenses paid I was exited. Would I see the joy and hope I had seen in youtube-channels or would I see a  a post mad-max world coming to life.  After landing in Somalia through the VIP booth I was shocked to see armed men in jeeps .  It is a wonderful feeling to see your country and your nation. The feeling of being black as the normality was  something that expected and it shook me. What a wonderful life I could have made instead of being the black outsider in a nordic country surrounded by whites. Whites who unlike americans believe your a outsider despite your higher education or your fluency in the language. After a few weeks my close relative wanted to show me  and we drove to Khayre complex who is beside Villa Somalia. As our family house is in Xamar jabjab it was close.

We went to the waiting hall    While sitting in the waiting hall full of ministers  I noticed how the whole Villa was somekind of a extented "jaaliyad". No one followed protocals. It was as if you were in your normal Somali diaspora center.  People rushing in, a few people  waiting for hours, the room turned in to a  semi-kind of a cafe with the latest political gossip. While I did not wish to meet any political leaders and my visit was the first one  after 30 years. The reason for my travel to get meet family members and the high ranking minister who is a close relative.  As a semi-kind mystic and xerow my relatives were startled when during the  my 4th day in Somalia I paid my visit to the Shaykh of Banaadir,   The learned faqih of mogadishu whose liturgy could be heard all over the Somali peninsula, Shaykh Suufi  (qadasallahu sirrahu, wa nafcallaahu bih). I also paid my respects to my father who was  among the few to be elected to the parliament and was a successful lawyer and whose disdain for communism caused to him be a cellmate with the late Xaaji Maxamed Cigaal  for 4 years.   No one has paid  attention to this  In. Pre-wahabi Somalia a man with a beard  a wadaad  would raise respect while in todays Somalia a man with a beard stick  wadaad would create suspicions of al-shabaab.  Thats sad and indeed tragic. 

Coming back to the story. What I could not deny is that the civil war has not only affected the infrastructure of Somalia, as a failed state  even the Somali culture deviated in some ways.  The way of living in Mogadishu was the mentality of bush,  eat or be eaten.  While Al-shabaab was lurking in the shadows. My close relative advised me not stay in the family house  in xamar jabjab if I wished to roam the streets free with my macawis. Instead of being guarded by khat-addicted men with ak47 I  was secured for a hotel known for its security. We somalis have a nasty habit of creating nick-names for people.  A man who they called cab-cun-jiif who was related to the hotel owner was Yuusuf Garaad. We got know each other and I was amazed by his instant way of judging people and knowing their intention. He had a natural instinct of knowing a persons intentions. He was lovely guy  to chat with. My feeling that I got was a man who reviled the white mans world and wanted his Somalia to be at least as the UK or indeed better.  Do not be fooled by those who say  Yuusuf Garaad was not fit for the job. He had impossible job and did what he could do. Foul capitalism was at play in the nation.  The whole nations capital is in the hands of a few guys who managed to digitalize Somalis economy. If you wanted to a simple coke you had to pay digitally . While taking  taxi to the suuqa Bakaaraha I noticed the whole productivity of the nation had collapsed. Frozen chicken from EU was sold in Bakaarah and the bizarre thing was that everyone spending money on powdered milk. As  a man who was masters in Pharmacology the only thing that I can say that drinking  conservatives Nh2 additives with sweeteners like vanilla can not be compared to fresh milk. I asked a poor relative of mine why she would but canned Nido milk when fresh milk was available.  Nestle had done its PR. Indeed the answer I got back was "its better". As she was a cousin of mine who I did not want to sound arrogant.    Note: Nothing in Suuqa Bakaarah was made in Somalia.

Anyways returning back to time waiting for khayre  the close relative of mine mentioned to  me  that Khayre would meet a foreign guy and I would probably not meet him but he would come out and shake hands with me. Little did that relative know of my character, I would rather wait 30 years to only see cadhirka xabiibka suubanay Muxammad and no one else. He came out while walking and shook hands and I finally said ok bal xadda aan baxno.  The relative of mine showed me her collegues and I met with with minister of post and isgaarsinta Caanshur, a clever man and with a good educational background.

It was Ramadan and I would make spiritual retreats and  engaged in dikri during the nights .  Their were signs of hope and  lady,  a dear friend of mine who during my 20-ties helped me and other somalis to set up organisation that cared for afropoboa, an anti racist organisation and who was herself top feminist political   head  UN- funded NGO  organisation for children.  She instantly called me and took me to Xalane. I felt as if i was reading the book  Fanon black mask white mask.  When I entered  Xalane the Somali culture stopped with its norms stopped.  White people could be seen in shorts.  My friend who  is not religious took of her xijaab and lighted a cigarette.   During our conversation and I asked her in swedish as we both are swedes and somali "  Does not this feel like a castle built on air". She laughed and said  Yes but people have hope.  

 

That's the word of this rambling post. HOPE  The word is hope.   After a week the relative of mine took me to the Gudoomiyaha of Baarlamaanka and had dinner with him.  He was humble and a likable guy. Unlike others who out-size their CV post 91. He said he was school-teacher.  You will see a lot of people who were car mechanics in 1991 and today claim to have a PHD in something   That humble and honest answer opened my heart and I said to him. Adeer what happens with Amisom decides to leave? The  Americans are talking about leaving Afghanistan and Somalia should not be different. He understood the honesty of my political question but decided to be politically correct and said "We will have by then trained armed somali soldiers and solid institutions". When he noticed that I was not a political and did not want a political correct answer he said " Look adeer, people are tired,  A H president was elected and then a D president was elected. Is that not a sign of progressiveness. I made rebuttal that shook the room and him back to reality. I said Yes, But said the road to Baidoa is un-attainable by car. All the roads leading into Mogadishu is controlled by Mogadishu.  The truth is that Mogadishu is  a city under siege.  Al-shabaab, a vicious monster weather we like it or not has penetrated the religious spectrum Somalis and mogadishu is under  seige, I could not go to Warsheekh for a ziyaaro and to meet Sheekh Ow Cabdi cumar  who is the shaykh of our mowlac in the nordic countrey I reside in. He really did not have any answer and repeated the  pr-correct mantra

In conclusion. 2019 was a trip and  and wisdom for me. Somalia is indeed recovering but the our psyche , our culture, has been ravaged by the civil war. Mogadishu is now under seige by al Shabaab just as saigon was.  Al-shabaabs ideology has also been legitimised by the government religiously. The Notorious Shaykh Bashir who sits in a religious council organised by government believes in the dogma al-shabaab.  Even Umul, Shibili all of them do. The only difference is that they chose to tone it down.

Another aspect that was shocking is, while I Khayres villa complex, the ministers, the secretaries,  military commanders everyone really seemed to believe that Mogadishu was not under siege or were simply denying that Somalia was at war  with a vicious monster created by Saudis. A monster that MBS admitted to have created but now washed his hands from. 

 

Donald trump has now ordered all american soldiers to withdraw and that means no Xalane.  The pandemic has showlighted that the  White world europeans are thinking about saving their economies and have no thirst for god forsaken places like Somalia. The only option Somalia now has Turkey.  Will Turkey send military force and give deceive victory to  government as it did for Libya and Azerbaijan?    

 

Khadafi. 

 

 

 

[PM Abiy Ahmed Declares War on Tigray: First bullets fired]

Che -Guevara to be honest, what we are seeing the long decline of the colonial empire that Menelik created. A nation with no common historical narrative.  The Amhara  neftegna  nationalists and afro-centrist have long presented a historical narrative that Ethiopia was "never colonised".  They often potrayed Ethiopia as a isolated nation and note "Ethiopia" or Ityopia was name taken by Haile Seleassie to tone down the the ethnic meaning of the true name of Ethiopia essentially Abyssinia. Oromo professor like Mohammed Hassen, and even Western ones uncovered documents during the Berlin conferance that Russia with its orthodox church strong  warned western nations not to interfere with with Abyssinia (Amhara region). Indeed Russia had an ambassador and vice verse.

Another point is that the concept of the colonialism explained by Fanon. was a way of civilising black savages. The christian church in western nations and the European nations that strong economical intrests had to have strong rational reasons to colonise the world. In a nutshell the word colonising was "peace making efforts, civiling, missionary" etc.   These the ket concepts according to the Ethiopianist professors Mohammed Hassan and Plem saved Ethiopia. Nobody has intrested in the mountainous regions of the Amhara and Menelik who did not even controll the muslim sultanates pf Massawa gave them away to the italians as they were "savages".  When the europeans power divided Africa they essentially made  so that they controlled key sea routes. Somalia was key strategic countrey.

Professor Mohammed Hassan continues that the Russian Emperor sent 2 million moden wellington rifles to Ethipia and sent 200 technicians to Ethiopia.   The Amhara unlike the Somalis do not have clans but they do have social stratification system. The Amhara iron welders learned how to make the bullets and etc etc.  While the Italian army campaign t Adwa was led by Italian officers and italian soldiers the bulk of the army were black colonised eritreans and some somalis called "Askaris". The italians were equipped with older versions then the wellingtin rifles.

Menelik launched war against other Amhara warlords and once they were destroyed He reestablished Abyssinia but he did so by brutally invading Caruusha Oromo muslim sultanates,  Harar, Afar.  While the muslim world was in decile and the Ottomans were defending the gates of Istanbul in the galipolis in the 1918 poor muslim low landers had no one to ask. According to the Professor Muhammed Hassan  Meneleik gave a decree to cut of the breast of of ever one of 1 oromo women as punishment.  

So why the long the history lesson?  Mengistu who according to me was true communist unlike our Siyaad, demolished the feudal Ethiopian society and made Ethiopia secular.  By severing the orthodox chuch with state. He had un-intentionally deleted the glew that attached oromo orthodox christians that were forced to convert to orthodox coptic christianity. Mengistu fully understood that as an Amhara if he discussed the marxist concept of nation and nationalities minioritythe countrey would be dis-integration.  In VOA interview made Mengistu said that the TPLF have balcanised Ethiopia. Like him or not the short  baria Amxaaro Mengisu was shrewd and fully understood what was coming.

The Second blow was the TPLF.  By making yuguslavia ethnic federation they were essentialy preparing to rule Ethiopia as a by using the discord between the Amxaaro and Oromo. During their 30 years one of the main things that I think they did un-intentionally was strengthening  the oromo nationalism. An oromo during Haile Selassie time would not say he was oromo. Times have changed. One other aspect is that Amxaaro that used to deny that Axmaaro as distinct ethnic group existed changed their views. They fully accepted the Amxaaro ethnic group.

Mustafa cagjar  might be more articulate then the electrician henchman Cabdi iley but both down are direct puppets selected by   Addis Abeba.  What Mustafa could do is strengthen Somali nationalism and create legitimate somali parties and hold elections. As soon as the honeymoon between Abey-Amxaaro and Amxaara  region and the Oromo parties are over the war will come closer to Addis Abeba. The countrey is already in a fully fledged civil war.  According to a friend of mine the TPLF is now direing weapons to oromo civilians and their satelilite channels have have become  hutu-channel towards amxaaro.  Their propogands is an having an affect. over 150 amxaaro coloniser settler neftegna were killed by an ofshoot to OLF. The vice prime minister called on Amxaaros arm themselves.!!!  

 

 

[PM Abiy Ahmed Declares War on Tigray: First bullets fired]

Who thought I would write an article recommending Somalis to defend the legacy of the TPLF despite its heinous crimes in Mogadishu? Times have changed. Ethiopia in its purest essence was formed by the brutal image of the Amxaaro. If you want graphic details about it the history books are full of how Amxaaro peasants armed with european rifles pillaged and chopped of the breats of the oromos and forcefully converted muslims to christianity.

During the time of the brutal Xabashi Amxaaro ruler Xayle Selasssie Ethiopia was portrayed as the land of the Amxaros. And old oromo Shaykh Abdulkarim Xusseyn (AUN) told me in Europe that during his radio address he would address the muslims on the muslim holidays as "congratulations to the muslim residents of Ethiopia". While Shaykh Cabdikarim was a Xerow in Baale he vividly remembers "why does he adress as residents as if we are visitors". Gaalka gartiiisa waa la siiya. Mengistu Xayle Maryama was a devout Marxist. Even the secret KGB files that were opened after the cold war gave description of him as a person who wanted to get rid of the feudal system . On other hand our Siyaad Barrre was labeled as fake marxist and in a sense simply a Somali nationalist. The man giving this info to KGB in 77 could have not been none other then naaso-wayne AKA Fidel Castro.

Mengistu indeed severed the state ties to the orthodox church, secularised the schools and universities. Unlike Somalia, indeed Ethiopia had a feudal system. The family of the butcherer of the Oromos Menelik gave every son "Ras" head and land to govern. Thats why Xayle Selassie was in Harar before he became Emperor. The one question that Mengistu was pandora's box and one he failed to address as a devout marxist was question "nation and nationalities". Indeed, Mengistu who was from the woleyta ethnic group and was assimilated in the Amhara assimailation cykle knew for sure if he acknowledged the existence other nationalities then the one that forged Ethiopia with blood and butchering of Somalis and oromos and Afars and Tigrayans that would be existential threat to Ethiopia.

It did not years for the first shots to be fired. A courageous Ethnic tigre muslim named Hamid Idris Awate together with then Somali Nasrullah ignited the war. The great Ethiopian civil war. The Eritreans cemented the resistance and during the 1988 mass-desertations had a big effect on the well equipped Ethiopian army. Raadiyo Muuqdisho PR for the oromos had a great effect on the oromos. Why would an oromo die in a god forsaken land that does not belong to him. As always when the Amxaaro could not find others to fight for them they saw what was coming. Unlike Siyaad Barre AUN who burned to Somalia according to the scorched earth policy Mengistu told his Amxaaro dominated military command to concede defeat. By now the EPLF were marching into Asmara and its ofshoot were marching to Addis Abeba. Mar labaad. Gaalka gartiisa ha la siiyo. Mengistu did not open the vast amounts of army depots to amxaro and left saying "Hey, I am going but arm yourself and fight to the teeth with each other, Ciao".

The TPLF, a hardcore Hoxaist communist group entered the city and the Amxaaro military command submitted. Mar sadaxaad. Gaal Gartiisa hala siiyo. Meles Zenawi had the courage or was forced to finally face the existential question that faced Ethiopia. What is Ethiopia in its essence? Is Menelik a hero or the one who chopped the breasts of oromo women? The TPLF saw things how it was, Eritrea was given its hard earned freedom. The TPLF played the ethnic game and according to Mesfin Hagos interview in 1998 He actually said that the only solution they could see was an ethnic federation. With Yugoslavia as ideal Meles hatched the game to turn the oromos against the Amxaaro and him balancing the fine act of dancing between this deadly snakes. What he did not foresee ofcourse was the rise of digital platforms and mostly oromo nationalism. According to the book written by the tigrayan jeberti Hasen Shifa, who was expelled from the TPLF committee

Meles was in 1991 more worried by WSLF or resurgent Somali state that would intervene. According to his book, one of the first tasks he did as he took over Addis Abbaba was to send for remaining DERG spies and heat the news on Somalia. On hearing the news that Somalia was in flames he turned on the Amxaaro DERG. Purging them for every position in power and replacing them with oromo loyalists. He did not fully trust Somalis as he always feared the Somalis and in 1994 he finally betrayed the Somalis when they pushing for article 79 in the Ethiopian constitution. Namely that every federal region has right to secede. Had Siyaad Barre followed the advice of the Maanifesto and left the country intact I have no doubts that Soomali-Galbeed would like Eritrea have a referendum.

Whats happening now? The Washington Amxaaro supremacist opposition groups successfully launched media propaganda against the EPRDF/TPLF but so did the Oromos. While they shared the same enemy that have different narratives of what Ethiopia is. Guys, weather we like it or not, Meles Zenawi left behind human waiting for surgeion and the surgeon knowing exactly which parts to amputate.

For 30 years the oromos have now regained their lost identity. According to a friend of mine the transformation happened so fast the oromos started to even change their names

Somalis have no appetite for conflict nor do they have the resources for it. Cabdi Iley the monster that the TPLF to terrorise the somali nomads into submission is in prison but the man in charge now, Mustafa Omar is not man chosen by the Somalis. He was directly appointed Addis Abeba. It not a nice job for the guy to have. the 33 army division is stationed in Dire Dawa. If he dares to make legitimate democratic demands as having elections in Soomali-Galbeed The same fate as Cabdi Iley might await him. The Neftegna/Amxaro supremacist are busy attacking the federal vision but they do not have an alternative. They talk about democracy but a man who reveres Meneleik and while you view him as black colonialist who chopped the hands of your people. That shows that their is no common narrative holding the country together

Its time that the world, and the international community for the stability of Africas horn accepts a Post-Ethiopian state. Nation states as Oromiya, Amhara, Soomaali-galbeed (weather to join somalia or be independent). The attack on Tigray is an attack on this post Ethiopian vision. All Somalis should support tigray, not out of love but for common interests.

[Times have changed. Somalis should defend the federalism of Ethiopia /Tigray.]

Latest news: The Whole northern command consisting of tigrayans  have defected to the TPLF. Thousands of soldiers with armour. are in long convoys returning to Mekelle and defecting without even firing a single shot. The only military action Caabey Amxaaro have done is air strikes  against some abandoned houses.  If Abey Amxaro thinks that an Oromo from Dire Dawa will fight for his attempt to revive the amxara-supremacy he is dead wrong. Jawar Mohammed, Merere and all Oromo intellectuals have abandoned Abey and are now for the first time calling Abey Nefetgna. 

 

The Qeero oromo youth have also recently taken action. For those who read the news a couple of days when 100 amharas were massacred remember that they were not killed for joy or sadism.  The Qeero warned those Amhara neftegna settlers that they were harvesting on land who belonged to them. They gave them the chance to leave or face the consequences. Jawar Mohammed explained this excellently in All-Ethiopian discussion forum held in washington 8 years ago.  He said "why is that we find the amhara outside the amhara lands cultivating and harvesting the best lands of the oromos and sidama, the simple  answer is that they were neftegna soldiers awarded by Haile selessie to be loyal. In order for Ethiopia to find peace we have accept this narrative and the professos who spoke before me present these facts. We do not find Somalis, Oromos, Afars in Amhara lands, Why?"

UPDATE ON THE CONFLICT

This what I think will happen. The TPLF biggest obstacle is indeed Eritrea.  Lets be honest to each other. The TPLF could have not achieved its decisive victory in 1991 without the support of its fellow tigrayan Eritrean EPLF. They are now landlocked and the only gate way is though denkalia.   

TPLF are stalling hoping for international intervention but they do not understand that the days when USA were dictating to the world is gone. The US and its European allies are in state of panic because of the pandemic  and the economy in tatters.

IGAD with Turkey who are seen as neutral players could be a platform for discussons.

We know we are facing pressure from Suldaanka and company but now others are joining the campaign.

Since when those in Bu'ale, Sakow, Dhuusamareeb, jalalaqsi Sabaale and Jamaame went to their home towns for support.

For the last two parliaments more than have of southern politicians could not go home get elected, just like those of us. Even today, there are districts in middle and Lower Shabeele, Hiiraan and JUbba members could not visit.

Anyway, I do not see any good candidate among these charlatans. Those who say Muqdisho Unakaa leh, are hated by most Somalis these days. If there is any ambitious northern politician,  now is the time  to grab the torch from the lame duck guy and Unaka Leh.

By the way, the Benadiris had three members among the 13 SYl. Dhere Xaaji Dheere, Saqaawadiin and Sheikh Mohamed Huseen , the first SYL chairman. The seats for Banaadiri should be allocated and Muqdisho city should be different from Gobolka Banaadir.

 

Sadly the Banaadir-Somalis had the unfortunate fate that the the italians colobialists made moqdishu as it its center of the fascist Itaaliya-Soomaliya.  That caused many somalis to migrate to mogadishu. They belived firmly in pan-somalism and all somalis knew them as the people of scholars of Islam. The Qaadiriya Sunnu-order spread to the far corners with its liturgy was none other then Shaykh Suufi  Allah yarxamu. They then fought the italians together with all somalis and formed SYL from the Hamar youth club.  They had a big share of the SYL leadership.

Banaadiris who then were at semi-majority  in Mogadishu and got a Banaadiri lawyer  Avokaate Maxamed Raajis  a Banaadiri elected together with  Avokaate jimaale (unuka) in the last democatic election in 1960-ties, never did those SYL member belive that they would instead be marginanized by pastorl somalis who came from Cadaado and Mudug.

Its importat that Certain disctrists of Moqadishu or the entire city made into some kind of the Harar or that  qouta is given to the Banaadiris. Xamarwayne Marka and certain city states should be made into some kind of Harar-modl with a defined qouta.

 

 

 

[In a revealing interview with Ali Mahdi]

Revisionist history is occuring in Somalia and what is being said is the truth. Those who have have nostalgia for Siyaad Barrre era failed to realise that his regime was corrupt and deeply clanish in its last days. Listen carefully to what Cali Mahdi  said. He said that Barre regime  jailed democratic elected people  from 1969 people.. Among those people who were cose to me was the late famous human rights lawyer AVokaate Maxamed Raajis. Two people elected from mogadishu during the last democratic election, The late Jimcaale and avokaate Maxamed Raajis. Both of these two people represented the demographic landscape of Banaadir at that time.

AUN Avokaate Maxamed Raajis was jailed the likes of Egal and many others. Barre had a tendency to make people join his kacaan after jailing them.  After 5 years of jail, the late lawyer who never thought the regime would last for 21 years was immedietely taken to Villa Somalia and met Barre. Both of them knew each other and were friends during the italian colonial era.  Barre AUN told him about the conditions of the countrey and said he wanted the lawyer AUN to lead wasaarada Cadaalada. Out of principle the late lawyer said he wished to continue his private office and declined the offer. Barre became angry and lashed out in clannish statement and said "war dadkiina banaadiriga wax deeop ma jiro miyaa". 

While Mengistu  saved Ethiopia and did not open weapons arme depots to the  Amhara in Gondar and Bahdri Dahr Barre armed Amhara and kept the Ethiopian army in command while fleeing the countrey Barre AUN did the opposite.  Cali Mahdi is honest when he said that the maanifesto group were the ones who made the Barre regime illegtimate in the eyes of the Somali people.  Among those who signed and who remained in Mogadishu and who was second in the name signatures was Avokaate Maxamed Raajis.  And indeed as Cali Mahdi said the group had a meeting with Barre and promised him that if he stepped down he would be among the respected leaders of Somalia. He agreed to the terms.   The next day while everyone was awaiting his response of stepping down and handing over power he made his infamous bizarre radio adress encouraging "somalis "BEERAHA FALAHA".

The critique that could be made  against Cali Mahdi and the USC was he was unable to compromise. If he lacked the military power to tackle Aideed why not then hand over government to Aideed and in orderly fashion and have fresh elections. If Mogadishu was  secured the whole of Somalia would be secure.    But the question remains. Whould the ADHD. Aideed be a man that could bring Somalis together or whould he be Barre on steriods?.

 

One thing is sure. Barre failed while Mengistu had the greater perspective of saving his nation. Think about that!

 

 

 

 

[Ethiopian Federal Government and Tigray State cut ties]

The facts on the table is as MMA mentioned above. Tigray is landlocked. The EPLF-regime with the monstous dictator has never forgotten the betrayal the TPLF made  in the war against Eriteeriya 1998. The Amhara has blocked the roads into Tigray. The Tigerans have a somewhat  cultural and a economical ties with Afar region has betted heavily on the Afar region not joining Medemer but failed in preventing them.    The Tigrayn region election was a show force to Abey Ahmed that the TPLF has the full backing of its people. I belive that the first shots or military action will be  taken by the TPLF in order to ensure their logistical needs through the Afar region.    The TPLF does not want to become another "Somaliland", a secession with no international recognTition. They will probably ignite the first shots in order for the international community comes in and intervenes. It is not in their intrest to have a  protacted war.    Their propoganda that Abey Ahmed Mengistu 2.0 with an  Amhara  neftagna mentality was at first dismissed by the oromo elites but the blodless coup that Abey Ahmed did when he arrested Jawar Ahmed and put Lemma  in house arrest has become the last straw for the oromo activists. Jawars media platform and other oromo satellite channels are now openly calling Abey ahmed a Amhara neftehna. In conclusion do not be suprised  if the first shots are done by the TPLF. They have nothing to lose.

[Somali people have Corona]

Its afrophobia.  While the corona virus was spread and injected into Sweden by upper-class swedes on vacation in the wealthy towns of Italy.  These people were not blamed but  somalis were.  Blaming blacks in a racist nation is a common  thing the post-colonial world.  And by the way according to research done by sociologists, the somali community was affected much more hard becouse they often work service-minded jobs, like driving as a taxi driver a wealthy swede who have been in Italy and has covid19. Busdrivers, these people meet every kind of people. Multigenerational houses,  becouse of the low socio-economical status of Somalis we often live multigenerational houses with our grandmothers and grandfather father and mother and finally the kids under one roof. That leads to extreme risk to covid-19.

 

To the thread starter, how did it spread in Denmark? Was it not wealthy danes who were in Italy?

[Farmaajo and Trump are looking for an extension, but Joe Biden will move from his basement to the white house , and Hassan Khayre has a future.]

During a vist to a Mogadishu for a pharmaceutical bushiness initative  a relative of mine who is an mp and a minister asked to if I wanted to meet the the head of the parliament.  As I did not want to be target by being seen by high profile relatives I first said no but  later agreed. We ment through several check point and had a informal meeting with Mursal. While engaging in smalltalk It emerged that he was one of those pioneer teachers sent to the distant lands of Somalia in order to teach and he said the best time of his life was when he sent to a tiny village in southern Somalia.

 

Anyways, after Iftar a few mps including the mp that head of the  elections and a few other allied mps had an informal meeting. The female chief that was assigned to organise the elections one man one vote is a highly intelligent and  vibrant woman. Somalia would certainly be better a place if we actually had such a lady as the president. As Cishaha was approaching I noticed that what was being said in the meeting was not based upon the reality in the grounds.  The mp was talking about talking ballotboxes Baladwaybe, Guriceel, Baidoa and Kismaayo. All other mp were nodding in agreement.  Qalbiga waxaan iska dhahay war dakaani ma fiyowtihiin ( these people sane).

These people talking about balllotboxes are hiding in Mogadishu because of Al-shabaab and they are talking about ballotboxes, Yaab!.

While at home I asked my relative, war qof yahow,  You cant even go outside without armed escorts  and you want ballotboxes in certain places in Somalia that al-shabaab has a strong presence in?. The relative smiled and said to me: " war waxaas dhab in ey ahayd maaad u maleyneysid".  Thats how politics in Somalia works.    Its politics based upon nomenklatura  Outright lies not based upon facts are presented as facts and part of the nomenklatura culture is that you remain silent and hope God finds a solution.

Everyone wants one man one vote. Bur is it reallt viable on the ground?  And what about  the Banaadiri-Barwaani miniority group that reside on the port towns of Somalia.  How will they the parliament if now laws are implemented protecting these somali groups whose demography has been severely damaged by the civil war.   During the pre Siyaad bare only 2 parliament members were elected from Mogadishu. The late Avokaate Raajis  and the honorable   Ismaacil Jimcaale. While Ismaacils people can be elected from Hir-shabeele what about Avokaate Raajis and the honorable Xaaji Dheere and Sakhawadin  the SYL members that were all banaadiri?.

 

Why should be Farmaajo get an extension.  The little political stability and the most positive sign that Somalia was  finally healing its wounds from its damaging war was  H-block president handing over the power to a president from the D-block without  violence and with political legitimacy.  Why change that?  Asxaabow, ha lis badalo.  NO EXTENSION.!

 

 

 

 

 

[Such a colossal blunder]

9 hours ago, Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar said:

MMA your post regarding "FGS oo wiiqaya heshiishka SL" is something the FGS does not need to  go forward with.  SL and PL and clan fiefdoms are in stagnation.   The respected folks of Somaliland started to  basic services but backed down when Muuse Biixi played the classical  jabhad theme "KOONFURTA BAA WAREER NOOGU HAYSO" siege mentality is what the ruling class lives upon. The FGS should not give then that. Dowladda Xassan Sheekh amaan bey siisay SL.  Nabadooda ha ula daysto. Markii mininkaagi adi aad toosisid markaas ayaa qof lala hadli karaa. 

 

 

[One man, one man vote will not happen. Farmaajos propoganda is just empty talk.]

Indeed Somalia has made progress. While we  not now resemble the scenes of Mel Gignsons of Mad-Max film, some order seems to be norm in in the city. While I was in Mogadishu  for a short trip  I met a minister I wish not name and the members of the parliament for the guddiga doorashooyinka. A  well educated woman with a professionalism that can not be matched by  somali men. While we were sipping tea  together with all mps (mursal was in the backroom) She was actually talking as if Somalia was somekind of  peacefull Tanzania.  The ballboxes would be spread out to the regiobal states.  I was startled and said nothing. While I came home Xamar jajab I had  a long conversation with a minister. I said   the chairman would not even move freelly from villa Somalia and she is talking about 1 man 1 vote.

Yaanan been lisku sheegin. Meeshas 1 man one vote kama soo socoto. Another  importabt  but vital question is what about the minority groups whose lands were ockupied by the Italians and then given and made into Mogaadishu.   Prof. M Muktar explained perfectly well that SYL made up majority by Banaadiri Soomalis.  Xaaji Dheere, Sakhawaadin.     D-block has support the  the candidates mogadishu  can only be Banaadiris. This is a compromise that will suil all feduing clans.

During the mayhen 1991 when the government  were losing the ground in the Mogadishu ,  the late colonel  AUN Saciid Mariino captured the arny deposits of the Somali navy and held a pary convention by SNU.  The late Banaadiri lawyer Avookate Maxamed Raajis  was the last elected mogadishu mp during the lections in 60-mogadishu Said famously". 

"Dagaaal waa xikmad, Siyaad Barrena 6 sano ayuu u xiray. Hadii maanta anaga hub qaadano meeel aan u cararno ma jirto", Saciido Hubkaadi ma rabno, Xaaran dhiig soomalyed ma rabno". Dadka Banaadirigha waa taarikha ugu qoran  in Sayid Barqash iyo ciidamadiisa ka eryeen bortuqiiska".  USC wada hadal ayaa la galayna.One man 1 vore. While one can be elected fron Mogadishu and Cadaado was soconeyso iyo caqli gal maaha.  The original inhabitants of Mogadishu  together with the  some segments of Abgaal  should be the only one that should be elected  from  certain districts from Mogadishu.
