It is desperation. couple of dozen elders, Ulema and the whole cabinet came to welcome and celebrate a diaspora guy who couldn't even speak the Somali language. If they thing this little Garaad could save them, they are dreaming.

Where is the useless and spineless Cirro. She is one of those brave ones who put the spotlight on the corruption of the Biixi regime. The loser Cirro is not worthy of any support.

The casualty rate of the SL officers are unusually high. There are probably high value riffles that could hit long distance targets. These snippers are either on top of tress during clashes and target officers or since these SL officers are old, they could not run when positions change. It is hard to explain. Maybe they were given fake officers ranks without the merit and now they are paying the ultimate price due to their incompetence.

Somali leaders are always one day late and a dollar short. The so called dialogue was useful before the bombs fall. now there is no turning back, even a child knows that. The only discussion left is how to separate the forces, especially Somaliland forces from Laascaanood.

The SSC Garaads did the right thing by going to Mogadishu. Is is a courtesy call from HSM and attending the meeting is probably a formality. Either way they don't lose anything. If HSM accepts their independent Maamul, it is good and welcome, if he rejects and pushes them to unfruitful dialogue, they could come home and create a bigger Harti homeland. They have their destiny in their hands. Soon they could even organize elections in Taleex, Bocame, and even Laascaanood to elect their councilors and that would seal their democratic choice. In fact, C/laahi Dani and Puntland would welcome if HSM rejects their free SSC Maamul. Since the H..rti are very close these days, don't be surprised if they create one single entity which could be a third of Somali republic territory. The ball and the worry is on the side of HSM.

C/laahi Dani is standing on constitutional ground. He explained for us that " Madasha Wadatashiga" can't write or change the constitution. Their job is basically to make road maps and political agreements. I think HSM must go back to the drawing port. At the end , let us finish the old constitution and get rid of the so called prime minister which is inherited from the Italian system. Do you guys know that Italy has over 40 government from 1945-1990. No prime minister has ever served four years. By the way, that song at the end of the clip is low blow to the anarchists which might not help for reconciliation. Dadka maarta iyo Korontada qabaa ma Mahad Salaad baa loola jeedaa> Cajiib.

I have listened the speech of president HSM, especially the first 15 minutes. I think it is a good speech in terms of the provisional agreements reached by the " Golaha wada Tashiga". He even explained that political agreements reached by the " Golaha" could not be basis for constitutional frame work or law of the country. It is a hastily reached agreement probably to distract people from the Puntland election which dominated the media cycle for almost week. Yet, we should welcome if leaders move to the right direction. No one likes the ugly side of the travels of the president, but HSM had shown the capacity to negotiate and sit down with some of the major stock holders. Despite what people say about premier HAmza, he is working well with the president. In this difficult times, it is important to have a team .Besides, Hamza is a decent man despite his bad history with Ahmed Madoobe. Dherigu marka uu karsamo ayaa laga dooda sida xeedhada loo qeybsanayo" with the nation on the brick of failure and the threat of greedy foreign players, it is important to have a leadership harmony and Hamza is filling that job. Let us wait and see hoe they move. I also like hoe he framed the issue of waiting foreign money to finish the provisional constitution. One of the major reasons that file never been moved forward was senators and members of parliament quarreling for the foreign money intended for the re-writing of the constitution. unlike the silent Farmaajo, HSM is engaging the public for good or worse,

congratulations. The middle east and beyond will change for the better. We hope.

Also, we must welcome anything that speeds up the universal election of people deciding their future. Many oligarchs that got rich of the current system will vanish. Aaran Jaan in Garoowe and Bakaraha billionaires, UAE, Qatar and others won't decide the future. The future power will shift to the South West and Jubooyinka where most people live. Shabeelaha Hoose has over a million people with seven densely populated districts. They have more people than the combined numbers of Nugaal, Mudug and Galgaduud. One thing we should focus is monopoly of political parties. That must be rejected at all cost.

No system or government could survive political gridlock, war with Al-shabaab and foreign involvement. A prime minister could only be effective if he has his own party at the parliament, in the current system, an elected president is dealing with an appointed premier. Their quarrel only benefits the parliament ( those who cash in for motions against the premier), outsiders and foreign interest. It should be the parliament to check the balances and confront the executive. The only fulcrum a premier could use is when he is backed by majority party at the parliament. We should remember the quarrel between Farmaajo and Khayre destroyed anything they built for three years flowed by another disaster. At the moment HSM is running the system while Hamza is helping him as a manager. The excuses to fire premiers and blaming them for the failures of the president will disappear with the new system.

This is the best news I heard from Mogadishu for a long time. I welcome the elimination of the prime minister position. HSM and Hamza Barre as president and vice president is a good move for the political stability of Somalia. The executive power must come from a single source, the president. Every nation that wants stability, progress and quick decision making is opting to the precedential system. Israel had five elections in four years, Italy was paralyzed by proportional representation quarreling for power, so is UK. On the other hand, they can not decide how many parties people want to have. THey could make a minimum threshold of 5% two have a national party, but they can't deny people to join which ever party they want. Finally, they should consult others, the parliament and write a new constitution with referendum participated by the public before deciding things for themselves.

Sanaag and Maakhir people are the winners. They fully boycotted the Somaliland election two years ago with almost zero members, and today they 100% participated the Puntland election. No one can dispute where they belong. There is nothing more democratic than the people deciding their future by vote without fear. Of the original five districts of Sanaag, only Ceel Af Weyn did not vote.

You are right, he should have minimized the crackdown of those suspected of the Gulen Movement. I hope in his last term he should concentrate building strong alliances with Turkic nations and stabilize the Lira. Stable Syria, Iraq and Libya will make Turkiye more prosperous with trade, especially the Libyans with oil and one of the strongest currencies. Rebuilding these nations will impact the Turkish export and construction industry.

It won't happen. It has been signed too many times. Too many hurdles. Biixi government won't allow it.

Other than Ceel Afweyn, Sanaag is taking part of the Puntland polls. Where are those claiming to reach the border. Hal Taako dhulkayaga ogolaan mayno was what Muuse said in 18 May. Since wars are rackets and usually pushed by special interest groups, and in the Somali case clans , the Sanaag residents of Habro don't want any clashes with pro Puntland voters. On the other hand, those from eastern Togdheer are pushing the Sool war. That is the difference.
