Tallaabo, Ninyahow, That is cruel jab. I talk to people and present their view here.Do You want me to name them? I do not think so. Besides, this thread was according to me.

The main job of the Tigray must be to keep the Amhara out of the power . The problem is the Amhara are the most patient people in the horn, and they will wait their turn another ten years or so. Now they are riding the Abiy Ahmed horse. The Oromo will no longer be a second class citizen. Tens of thousands of their youth had went to universities and will not rest until a full change takes place. The best solution for communal peace is to depose Illey and crown a pro reform Somali who want to open a new page with Oromo neighbors.

What did you want the Somali Galbeed to do go into civil war. Don't expect much your way. Iley might retire or go to federal politics since he has now enough political capital to mix in the tribes in Addis Ababa. The system is reasonably matured in Kililka that any confident Somali in his skin can run it. OO, . Cabdi Illey will not join the EPRDF or the tribal politics in Addis. Most people believe that Illey will go abroad mostly UAE or one of the gulf countries where he would be immune from prosecution. There is always alternatives for Somalis if you are confident and independent Somali. There will be a gathering in Dire Dawa in July 30, where most of Somalis including top former members of CAbdi Illey's comrades will attend. I did listen some of the former guerilla members who joined Illey and his security seven or eight years ago and they are speaking out. one former confidant who spoke in Dire Dawa said that he personally encouraged Illey to join the demonstrations against the TPLF and join the Oromo and Amhara. He said, " when it comes to rebellion or uprising against the Ethiopian order, we Somalis should be ahead of Oromo or Ahmara. We were the freedom fighters before any one of them, if you can't lead , allow us just like other Killil to rise up and control our region". When an armed Amhara group with help of the amhara regional leader expelled the TPLF federal police, the system was weakened. Finally Desaleyn had enough of Tigray emergency rule. It was a shock when he resigned. Yet, Illey decided to go the other way and create the civil war on behalf of the TPLF. Fore a prison warden, freedom is the worst thing to happen. IF you oppose change, the forces of change will target you no matter who you are. A country like Ethiopia opens up every 30 years, and then closes up, so now is the time for Somalis to rise up and control their destiny.

A lot has happened in the world for the last week, especially in the horn of Africa and Helsinki, Finland.. In this segment we will try to filter and give it our own spin. Since the media has failed to report the whole news , and the Somali websites show only moving pictures with almost zero content and logical analysis, I Galbeedi will act as a pundit to interpret the new and analyse on my own view of the world. There are more than one superpowers. Since 1990, after the collapse of Soviet Union, America became the lone super power , and acted as the policeman of the world. During these period, America has done a lot of good deeds around the globe including saving of the innocent victims of war in Bosnia, Kosovo and other places. Yet, the undisputed supremacy of the U.S was eroded by concentrating its efforts to dominate, destroy and control the middle east. While America was waging wars in Iraq and other places since 1991, China had took a 25 year of nation building which made them manufacturing power of the world. They are already a quite superpower that will soon become the largest economy. Helsinki and the crowning of Putin as the other superpower. The media doesn't report the inside story in Helsinki, but insiders say that the whole affair was a negotiations between Putin and Netanyahu while Trump was representing the later. Behind the door talks were specifically about Syria, Golan heights, and Ukraine. Israel, with help of Wahabi insurgents , gulf money and weapons and American policy tried to dismantle and set up a pro Saudi entity in Syria. After seven years of war, Assad is winning the war, but Israel, by default had brought both HizbuAllah and the Iranian militia at their northern door. Just like the dismantling of Saddam strengthened Iran, the war in Syria has brought Iranian missiles at the Israeli door. Be careful of what you wish. Netanyahu knows that no American military will wage a war against Iran at the moment, yet now Iran and their proxies are at the gate. He also know that a ground war is unwinnable against Iran , so he has to go to Moscow and find solutions for the problems he himself has created. Putin is willing to help, but he needs to get something in exchange. Also, everyone knows that Putin will keep his promise unlike America. Netanyahu accepts the presence of Assad and his forces in Golan Heights and Southwestern Syria. Even the Jordan border area which American said were off limits for Assad was taken over by Syrian army after heavy bombing.. Iran rejects any move out of Syria since they were invited by Assad , yet the mischievous Persians are willing to trade for the bigger deal. On the other hand Putin wants Netanyahu to help him normalize relations with Trump and America. Putin want norman relations and lifting of the sanctions, plus a referendum in Eastern Ukraine, and might even add for the weakening of Nato or to stop anymore enlargement of Nato. Israel wants Iran to leave Syria completely, and Iran wants to preserve the nuclear deal in order to leave Syria.. Folks, these were the real discussions in Helsinki. On the other hand Trump is scared to admit the he got help from Russia during the election. There were no nuclear reduction or other issues. As usual it is all about the middle east . Trump is in big trouble , yet he is more popular with his base than before. The media is trying to vet and scrutinize Trump after the fact. Usually, candidates are vetted before the election not after the fact. There are two thoughts on Trump . One says that America is not a banana republic and at the end Trump will not only be impeached, but will be put behind bars with his careless disregard of American political order. The other school says that the same established that failed to stop Trump during the campaign want him to transform America in a new image that is radically different , and despite the noise , he might even re elected again. Brussels and fundraising for Amisom forces. It was another round of Somali leaders looking for unearned money from the world. None of the money raised will reach the Somali soldiers or strengthen the military capacity of the country. Somalia is still under arms sanctions while Amisom is armed to the teeth. As soon as the Belgium money hit the airwaves, Uganda had announced to send more soldiers to Somalia. It seems that Farmaajo is becoming the best thing that happen to the war profiteers, NGO's, Amisom soldiers and those who want the status quo. For 18 years since the Carta government in Djibouti, the Somali government could not pass Mogadishu. Both the regional government of Banadir and Farmaajo rule a Baghdad style green zones with blocked streets. Billions of dollars are consumed in the name of Somalia. Even the separatists who used to claim to be another imaginary country had decided to join the regional governments and get some of the pie. Close to 60 billion are spent in Somalia since 1991. In fact, despite the success of the Farmaajo government to built national institutions and repatriation of Somali air controllers and rescuing of Somalis from jails around the world, nothing tangible is taking place on the security issues. Insurgents are active both in the capital and surrounding area. No mistake about it, the parameter that Farmaajo will be judged would be security and security only. The problem is that town , Mogadishu is awash with money and war profiteers from around the world have descended to make money., Unless a new vision and strategy is introduced, expect the same fate as the last leader. Hargeisa has lost its marbles. Muuse Biixi is looking a settlement and way out of the Tukaraq quagmire, yet he doesn't know how to get out. He sent some elders and business people to Garoowe to negotiate on his behalf, and they were met by another elders and were told to leave the issues for the political leaders ( Waxay moodayeen sida Hargeisa in hawl walba ay Kaabo Qabiiladu Dhameeyaan). The latest news is that Muuse want to go back to the original place called Gambadhe, but the Garaad community in Puntland had insisted for the recovery of Laascaanood. Some in the international community are trying to find a way for C/weli Gaas to declare victory while Muuse relocates to his original place. While the Tukaraq issues is important, for the Jeegaan administration, the GX issue and Ceel Afweyn is the paramount issue at the moment. Deep down Muuse knows that the Jeegaan can't rule without the consent of the other groups. In order to find wayout, Muuse had contacted Ismaciil Hurre Buubaa, the Henry Kissinger of Somaliland who had participated many plots in his lifetime. Buuba was the architect of the enlargement of the Waddani party by creating elaborate titles like ' Gudoomiyaha Xisbiga, Hogaamiyaha Xisbiga and so forth. He kept the pressure to Muuse and arranged behind the scene the G.X Shir in Gacal Libaax. He openly told Muuse to either follow the tribal route of Cigaal and Siilaanyo to marginalize politically the largest community or to create a new strategy. As of now , we do not know what the new plan between Buuba and Biixi. After almost 30 years, Somaliland must sit and share the cash in the begging bowl with the rest of the regional states. Furthermore, in the future, the aid money must be given directly to the communities and civil societies to build water wells and other badly needed services. The fast moving of Abiy Ahmed train. Eritrea came out of isolation after 20 years . Everyone was surprised the love and affection this Abiy guy has shown to the leaders of Eritrea. Abiy welcomed the foreign minister of Eritrea by himself, and afforded him full state honours. He visited Eritrea, and invited Asias Afework to Addis, and the rest is history. Despite the normalization of the relations, the moves Abiy made with Eritrea are more political than most. His strategy is to box the restive Tigray province and the TPLF both politically and geographically. With Eritrea on board, the Tigray region can't entertain to separate or do any mischief against the new order. The secret service men of Asias, who was both the benefactor of the TPLF and its creator, had already descended to Addis and monitor the movements of their cousins and disguise themselves since they speak the same language. Military coup is out of the question since most of conscripts are Ahmara and Oromo while the officer corp is predominantly Tigray. Yet, everyone is waiting whether the TPLf will disappear for good or they might have one last card to derail the fast moving train. On the Somali Republic side, so far there is no tangible advantage from the change of the guard. Mr. Abiy had even moved cleverly to destabilize the Farmaajo government by not only releasing C/karim Qalbidhagax, but also showing affection and humanity. That move alone has tremendously discredited the Farmaajo government which had falsely claimed to outlaw the Somali freedom fighters of ONLF. Qalbidhagax had already wounded Farmaajo last year, but the nightmare continue. As the Ethiopian Birr loses value, the UAE came to the rescue and deposited a billion or more to stabilize.This close ties with the UAE might create more friction. On the other hand, it is also a well known fact by now that the Farmaajo government has close political connection with the outgoing TPLf order. Farmaajo, like his predecessor had believed that an alliance with TPLF might preserve his power and help defeat Al-shabaab. Anyway, so far no advantage for Somalia at the moment from the Abiy Ahmed train. Jijiga is waiting for freedom. Of course there are still clashes between the Oromo and Somalis in some pockets in border communities in Moyale, Tulli and Baabili. With full intervention of the federal army these clashed has subsided. This week the army commander in Tulli area gathered 20 elders from both sides and told them to stop oe else. Yet the Cabdi Illey propaganda continues. His employees in Jijiga had staged demonstrations to keep the status quo and called themselves, the resurgent radicals " Mitidka Dib U Curashada" . The same people who victimized and murdered Somalis for the last ten years are calling to continue the communal fight with Oromo. Despite the release of the prisoners in Jijiga there is no visible change in the Somali Galbeed. As usual we Somalis are waiting others to change our lives.

Guys, in the context of the current situation, his message is to the point. Only a fool, the gullible public in the north and those interested with cash deals in Mogadishu would believe the propaganda called Somaliland—Somalia talks. There were times when Somalia was just The unsecure South Central Somalia. Why would Puntland or Southwest, Jubbaland and Hir-Shabellr would accept the false notion of a cash strapped tribal enclave to be any different than them. Why would they respect an old dinosaur that can’t build basic institutions for 30 years. They know they could be better if they got the hundred of millions given to them by the donors. Somaliland had the opportunity to showcase and lead when it had the chance but they blew it. Both Ahmed Samatar and Cali Khalid are using a false unsustainable schemes to cover their surrender to the separatists. Marka Hore Gobolada Woqooyi ayaan isku keenaynaa Kadibna Inaga OO wada socona Ayaan Koonfurta U Tagaynaa. Faysal Waraabe was saying to Farmaajo, “ Anagu Finalkii baan Joognaa, koonfur in Ay Soo Kala Baxdo ayaan u taaganshay. Wan go’aynaafii Jeebka ayaa si ku meel gaadh ah loo geliyey. Why would the secessionist want to spilt blood for future unity? I don’t think so.Why would the people of Sool have to die for the false notion of preserving the doomed agenda while they can have their own region under their control. A freind called me the other day and told me that as long as their is Puntland, the separatists won’t go far. Waar iska Seexo oo Danshaaga qabso nimankaasa hawsha ku Filane . Despite what the false and emotional nationalist of Farmaajo and company say, Somalinimo resides in Puntland. Somaliland talks and behaves according to those it deals. If you stay your ground and calls like it is , they will crawl and beg. They have been nurtured by the TPLF and the weakling leadership of the last two leaders of Puntland. I do believe that this Tough Reer Mudug has what it takes to depose Ina Biixi. You do not need a big war or huge clashes in Tukaraq were young lives could be lost on both sides. The main campaign is political. Gaas. needs to dismantle the occupational infrastructure built on bribery, divide and conquer, and the employment of the people the Great Daraaeiish used to call “Rayid “ who used to work for the British at the turn of the century. By the way, a just talked to an Awdalite guy who just came from Puntland last week and will convey his message soon without filtering.

This C/weli Gaas should be the next president of Somalia. absolutely. He is confident.

Biixi through Faysal said, " Farmaajo ii geeya"

He has shown strong leadership, courage in these tough times. He and most of us who know history understand the false narrative of " Wadahadalka Sadaqada iyo sooryada" Somaliland and Somaalia. Sida uu sheegay C/weli waa faan iyo been lagu buunbuuninayo , beena loogu sheegayo shacabka. Neither Farmaajo nor Hassan Sheikh or the Mogadishu cliq will bring or allow to dismantling of Somalia, As long as Puntland is led by people like C/weli , who knows history, and destiny, Somalia will not disintegrate.

Allah ha kuu Naxariisto C/laahi qarshe. Certainly he left a great legacy. He was the original walaalaha Hargeisa of late fifties.

Caradaa Keliga Adigaa u Curade Cadceeda sideeda caan noqo e.

Let me repeat , " Soomaaliyey Toosoo" is not he the national anthem song. Toosoo, sang by Qasim Hilawle was African resistance song. If you read some of the lyrics such as " Ikhtiyaar nin loo diidoo la adoonsadaan Ahaye" roughly means, " I am an slaved who were denied freedom" It was just easy song for some and Kacaanka chose later years.

They make people disappear. Mobsters do not talk to media

Look, in Africa the intelligence chiefs do not make speeches. Especially those who run one party state. Their job is to eliminate opposition and those who challenge the system. Are you saying Illey has done all this crimes by himself vand he is trying to save himself from future investigation . Many of His victims are out the country and will sue. We want Mr. Getachew to testify for these crimes. If he is advising Abiy , then that is even better. He and Abiy must be brought to justice.

Some Somalis joined the Oromo Kilil because of their fear and oppression of Illey

He broke them. They will rape the girl in front of her dad and then kill them. They torture , beet them and throw from the car while driving. This worst than we thought

This speech was heard by over hundred people who were present. Abiy or someone told him probably to confess and blame the crimes on the TPLF tugs. I said before that Illey was just a prison warden killing and oppressing on behalf of the TPLF.

I knew all along that the war between the Oromo and Somalis were orchestrated by TPLf. As the war raged on they started a propaganda campaign and told us that the Oromo is going to eat the Somali children. Here in SOL, they sent from Jijiga a guy named Old Observer and flooded the pages about the danger of Oromo. From day one, I knew the plot. If we didn't speak out, this conflict could have killed hundreds of thousands. Usually, The Intelligence officers accompanied with Liyuu police murdered and burned villages and towns at down before the sunrise, and when the Oromo wakes up to the indiscriminate killings, they take revenge on the Somalis incrementally. Sometimes, the intelligence and the TPLf military will collect Somalis and put them in one place for protection. After their nightly raid, they used to abandon the helpless Somalis and the mob would murder. A world criminal court must investigate these crimes and Illey must testify.

Toggle menu Skip to content Abdi Iley: “I Was a Tool for TPLF” Admin Jul 12, 2018 Ethiopia / Home / News / Politics0 Comments In a bizarre speech that Abdi Mohamoud Omer, aka Abdi Iley, gave to the Somali Region House of Representatives today, he claimed that everything he did for the last ten years was direct orders from Getachew Assefa, the former chief of National Intelligence and Information Services, and other TPLF military Generals. We summarized the excerpts from the long and free flow address that Abdi Iley made during a session by the region’s parliament. **** “I was a tool for TPLF. They [TPLF] did have a gun on my head all this time. I was also giving every penny of the Region’s budget as a ransom payment to a few Tigres [meaning TPLF General and other key politicians].” “I will tell you everything today. Every order to kill or cause a crisis was coming from them [TPLF]”, he continued. “They [TPLF] are the ones who were ordering the killings, I was just doing it to save myself. Every massacre in the Region was also ordered by Getachew Assefa [he said that with a curse word]. He [Getachew Assefa] is also behind the Oromo-Somali conflict. Do you think that Oromos and Somalis would just go into war without someone being behind it, he asked?” “All the mistakes I have made were because of Getachew Assefa. Getachew Assefa held a gun on our head and asked us to do what he wants us to do. “He [Getachew Assefa] is the man who was holding on Hailemariam’s head for 6 years, referring to the former prime minister.” According to Abdi Iley, he even at times kidnaped the wife of the former prime minister Hailemariam.” In this bizarre speech, even to Abdi Iley’s standard, he also said this: “The rumor of my resignation was spread by Getachew Assefa, who wants bags of money as he used to get.” In the same speech, he also claimed that prime minister Abiy Ahmed is a God sent, a prophet and Lemma Meggerssa [Oromia Regional President] is like his disciple.” In what seemed to be someone who is disturbed and out of character while also lacking his usual bravado, he declared that “he is ready to work with them and be part of the changes that are taking place in the country.” In this speech that was like no other, he also seemed conciliatory. He declared, though it lacked authenticity and seemed to be aimed to just buy time, that “our people need to forgive each other. Those who are dead will not come back. Let’s forget what they [TPLF] did to us. We also need to stop silencing dissidents with lethal force to the point of killing the person. We should be able to have a dinner together while having a different point of views”. While continuing this speech that will be for the ages, He remarked sarcastically, “Let’s also pray for those who have been massacred. Haday joogaan way iska shidaalysan lahaayeen[meaning, if they were here today, they would have celebrated the commencement of crude oil production in the Somali Region].” The other remark that also raised some eyebrows is this: “I am calling for the rest of Ethiopian people for neighborly coexisting, especially our foremost neighbor, our brothers the Oromos, since the devils who were instigating all this violence between us are finally caught.” What is also interesting is the fact that he held what amounted to a press conference that he raised the same talking points covered in this piece, but in a rather constrained fashion. The Regional parliament’s session is expected to continue for tomorrow!

They said, " Waa meesha hawlaha lagu kala furayo. Puntalnd is the head of " Dawlad goboleedyada" , who knows , they may disarm the Jeegaan within without firing a bullet. From our our part , we will be sending a delegation from Awdal to contradict the new warlord Ahmed Samatar. Dhulka Soomaaliyeed nabad baan ku dhex mari jirnay from Zaylac to Kismaayo, markaa kaadhka keliya ee aan haysano waa kaas , ma rabno in nalaga gubo.

Puntland ma Addis ayey noqotay . Everyone one is going there even the Jeegaan.

Maakhiri1, you might not get not get your wish. A Jeegaan delegation has landed in Garoowe. They are hiding but the word is out.
