As Dahireto said he might have a lot of powers as the chief of of staff of the president. Yet I have a different take on Fahad Yasin , Farah Cabdulqadir and others on the Somali power structure. Fahad Yasin like his predecessor Farah Abduqadir earned this post with his skil , ability and education. They are not appointed to these powerful positions through clan affliliation or nepotism. They earned through personal achievements. In fact, he Sheikh community has been always a well educated, hard working community that reached an excellent achievements in business, education and social and communal harmony. They are pioneers of religious education and spreading Islam throughout the Horn of Africa. They easily join and became integral parts of the communities they settled with. A lot of people from Mogadishu and other places are shocked that an unarmed community could achieve this top positions of power without belonging the trouble makers who are crying for power daily in the social media and other platforms.. Weak leaders who couldn’t achieve their goals and their tribal entourage blame always the chief of staff who happen to be the wrong tribe. The chief of staff serves on the pleasure of the elected leader. During the regime of Hassan Sheikh , the HAG community blamed Farah Abduqadir,on any issues of public policy., and now the the D block under Farmaajo are saying that things are bad because of Fahad Yasin. these men , Fahad and company had rejected the Somali hiring practices of 4.5 and reached high places without clan affiliation and this is the opposite of the Mogadishu norm.i take my hats off to these men who are self made unlike many who are appointed through the clan system. You know what, Next time these men should run to the highest office rather help these weak leaders. Besides, since when the Kikuyo passport became important. Anyone with cash can buy their identity card and get their passports.

This has nothing to do with “Xorayn” or libration. It is a political party that has the word freedom in its name. Did you hear the Freedom Party or something similar? Onlf has to contest the next election like everyone else.

Xaaji as a northern people we must have full confidence in our ability. These so called Duopoly could be broken by confident people who are willing to play the game as it was designed. Fulaynimada iska Daa. The typical southern man is not a serious person by nature. Why would anyone accept to be a lame duck for four years and be ordered around by others while they telling you and calling you a president. Tough men who had mission, like Cabdilahi Yusuf quit and left when he realized that he could not be allowed to implement his agendas. I do not believe in duopoly or whatever name you call it. It is a political game that could be played and won by anybody. Men like Camey should work to gain the top jobs both inSomalia and Puntland.

Camey is a charismatic man with an eloquent command of the Somali language, everyone knows he has more stature than Gaas, Farmaajo and Biixi . If I were Farmaajo, I would have transferred the whole thing to him. In other words, he is a natural born leader.

The Turkish economy is strong in many different ways. Foreign nationals buying Turkish property is up 65%. ; in July , they had a quarter billion surplus in terms by their budget and many stake holders want the stability of the Turkish economy including power house Germany. Turkish private companies had borrowed billions from the European banks from Spain, Italy, Germany and UK, and these nations would lose billions if these compare default their payments. Turkey had always expected these, From late 2017, to this summer the Turkish bank had liquiditated and sold half of their Americas treasuriy bonds . Folks, this not a banana republic or some Eastern European country that could crush easily. It is a mighty nation of 80 million people who will be a player in the world affairs. There are another five or so Turkic speaking Central Asian nations that are also connected with Turkey. In early September, Turkey, Germany, France and Russia will be meeting in Istanbul to discuss Syria, security , refugee and defence issue without Trump managed USA. Turkey is targeted for so many reasons, yet it can’t be stopped anymore.. The Pax Americana that ruled the world since Second World War is dismantled with less than two years by Trump. These erratic behaviour of the Americans leadership is pushing many nations to find an alternative reserve currency for the global trade. If China, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and others use local currency for trade, the dollar could be weakened, and as the dollar goes down so does Uncle Sam. Other than the Lira , the Turkish economy is fundamentally strong. From Monday on the Lira is gaining an average of 5 to 7% . I am not worried about Turkey, but the UAE and others will be in grave trouble if Trump and company are impeached.

Xasji tell that to the Gas Dhagoole or the know nothing southern boys. Any place where people settle without urban planning might look like a million people city. An acre that could have housed 20 houses is occupied by four or less. I have seen all these in the Hargeisa and Borama hills. The CIA fact book says that Hargrisa is inhabited by 750,000 people and I agree. If you look back the number of people that voted in the “ Gobolka Woqoyi galbeed “ —-which includes Wajaale, Gabiley, Salacley and all other small towns between them—-it was 225,000. If two thirds of them are under age or unable to vote that is exactly right. The mayor is selected by the ministry of the interior and they can dismiss him at will. This thing might not be all about the tribe, the whole purpose is to weaken the system to cover their crimes in the name of tribe. If the rule of law and the system is strengthened, the ruling class might not be able to steal or squander the resources. Unfortunately, they got people like Xaaji, although educated enough, yet willing to keep the old order of the Soviets .

If I were Farmaajo, I would kick out the do nothing, Ugali eating Africans who can’t venture outside at night in the dark. You have 5000 off them sitting in Stadio Mogadishu, another ten thousand or so are between Halane , the airport, and few bases in Shabelle were hey have aba ndoned back and forth since 2014. Why in the world do you keep 18,000 soldiers in Mogadishu?, There is no Al Shabaab army within Mogadishu that could take over the city military . All the African troops must leave city and take the fight outside. This has nothing to do with Djibouti, but Somalia trying to do things differently. Eritrea can join the Amisom group and replace Ethiopia, Uganda and Djibouti, and I am 100% sure the result will be much different. They are more Hungry and battle hardened than the Africans. There is already movement in villa Somalia, Qatar representatives Fahad Yasin is out of Villa Somalia, and the old military commanders were replaced. This is probably the last chance for Farmaajo to try different things. Despite the talk, things are sliding back to their old ways. Dr. Baadiyow who came from Mogadishu said that no matter who is in charge , the system is set up for failure. Now, let us address and refute the representative of the Hargeisa oligarchs in Djibouti Mr. Xaaji Xanjuf. Of course, there were IBRAHIM Dheere and other business people from Hargrisa who earned their money through legal means and the people of Djibouti know them and respect them. Those men and the old trading system are gone. They are replaced by banks, money laundering schemes and international oligarchs with no borders. The current crop of Hargrisa oligarchs in Djibouti are all corrupt thieves who are stealing millions of dollars from the poor people of Djibouti with help of Khadra Hayd , the greedy wife of Cumar Gheele. They own in Djibouti “ Waxii Dhaqaaqa “ and the people of Djibouti hate them like never before. Millions are borrowed from the Djibouti central bank that disappeared to Hargrisa.the former bank governor and brother of the Ghelle wife, Jana Hayd had invested millions with these guys, but suddenly he got sick and died in Nairobi hospital. During his last days at the hospital , an airplane full of oligarchs had landed in Nairobi to find ways to recover the millions of dollars guaranteed by the banker. Ina Geele Arab and the Cumar Geele family invested $30 million to set up a Coka Cola and water bottling company in Hargeisa, and these family and others with help of the wife had taken over the former businesses of Cabdiraxman Borreh , including running the port of Djibouti, American base services and all logistics for foreign armies in Djibouti. . This Ina Geele Arab , had suddenly left Djibouti in the middle of the night and disappeared to Hargeisa. Cumar Geele demand his return from the government of Hargeisa with no avail. The Hargrisa clan had been relocating and taking hard currency from Djibouti for the last few years. Everyone knows that they do not care about Djibouti, but since Djibouti is a financial hub and the base of many international banks , the Hargeisa oligarchs will stay there for now. There is a strong Djibouti opposition led by Dahir Ahmed Farah, and they should start maneuvering to replayGeele. The Hargeisa Habro want to keep the status quo and milk Djibouti as long as their in laws are controlling the money follow. Everyone in Djibouti knows that if change comes the first to be kicked out and stripped of the looted assets will be the West Hargeisa oligarchs.

Xaaji , whether you call it Federal Somaliland or not , this most centralized Soviet style system in Somaliland doesn’t work. In 2018, you can’t appoint governors and police chiefs to other regions, you can’t take property taxes and small business taxes to the coffers of Hargeisa. You should not be appointing even mayors from the counsel. Some of the major slogans of your grievances were that Somali government was sending governors from Gaalkacayo and Kismaayo. Finally, stop cheating there is no such thing as Saaxiil region, it is only the city of Berbera which belongs to Gobolka Wowoyi Galbred.

By the way, your darling Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is getting ready to campaign for Cumar Ghelle and make this an election issue. we are two and half years away but everyone including Xaaji is ready. Unlike, Xaaji I don’t worry about my groceries.

Oodweyne, Sheeksdu ma waxay Dhaafi la’dahay Somaliland ayaa la soo weerarsyaa. Maxaad wax walba uga Dhigaydaan ansgaa nalagu soo socdaa . Mida kale Af Xumadan aad wax walba Bulaacada gaynaysaan miyaa iska Daysaan. In your world, Whom ever I attack probably denied me a base to attack Somaliland. Cumar Ghelle has been oppressing my people for twenty years, and he isn’t going any where. The average Djiboutian is suffering from sky rocketing Cost of living, lack of water and electricity while few families are stealing the resources like oligarchs and our Xaaji and company are the beneficiaries. The Hargeisa Habro control foreign exchanges and the treasury of Djibouti through their in laws and other thieving mechanism. On the other hand we the owners of Djibouti are poorer every day. I am speaking for the hundreds of thousands of poor Djiboutian who are looking way out. just like Meles, the president of Burundi and others , Mr. Ghelle is using the Somalia insecurity as a ladder to gain geopolitical stature and make money from the corrupt western donors. When he started the Carta conference twenty or so years ago, he was just a gangster who inherited his uncle, but hosting Somali Vagnonds made him statesman. We will get him sooner or later. Ooweyne, you are from Burco, you do not understand these quarrels , it is about the rule of law , good governance and helping the Djibouti people. Xaaji and company are Guilty of stealing just like the Tplf in Addis. Folks, some nights, I couldn’t fell sleep when I reflect about the crimes of Ghelle and company. Who knows we might get justice one day. Finally, I am not coming to get you so you could sleep in tranquillity . All we need is give Ahmed Shide a chance to prove himself. Who knows he might order Mr. Biixi around like the TPLF.

Che, Chocolate is the right word. Thanks for fixing my crude language to describe the D block. I also hope that my HAG friends will forgive me for the harsh language, yet I hope everyone understands that I have no malice intent. of course the inclusion is that Somalis needs to prosper these days. Having said that , my separatist friends have always guns blazing for a fight. Jamuuriyadii Hadaan u Dayana I dayn Maayaan. Miyaad iska Qayishan oo 150 millions ee Miisaaniyada ah Iska Qaybsataan. You guys are satisfied ruling few towns while the Horn of Africa is at play. On the other hand , lately you guys have been speaking for the defence of Somalis Against Oromo which is a good change from the previous “ Ahmaardu was Walaalahayo Iyo Wiilka Addis ku Dhashay Ayaa iga Xiga Kan Muqdisho Ku Dhashay. Folks, I trace my ancestors to the 13th century Adal empire, the Biyamaal Sultanate that ruled Southern Somalia and waged war for twenty years against the Italians. My Ugaas who is in Ottawa , traces his throne from 1603 in Zaylac.The Wabar thing you keep referring is just a firework or larger plan to gain a foothold. I am not satisfied ruling few towns in Awdal or even Hargeisa and Burco. I want to rule the horn if Africa and reconstruct the land fragmented by the colonial powers. You are probably right that Farmaajo is not up to the task and he is secluded to a green zone in Mogadishu, but if there is a war between him and Cumar Ghelle, I will definitely side with Farmaajo. That fat despot who turned Djibouti in to a brothel and the play grounds of ithe entire world’s navies must be over thrown. Djibouti was stolen by the French with permission of Siyad Barre. It must be brought back , but first we must get rid of this Ghelle, and if Eritrea has some plans to put him out Iofvbusiness , I join and will go to Asmara. I am not tribal. Somalis love to cover stealing and breaking the law and later accuse them for tribal reasons. The tribe is just a cover to break the law and enrich yourself, all you need is to enforce the law and all these things might disappear. Xaaji we the D...r want to bring law and order for Somalis every where. Who knows you might prosper and leave your small villages.

The article 39 was a ploy in early nineties to cheat and calm down the Somali nomads who were making noises. It was crude strategy by Meles to buy time and sideline the Amhara who were managing the affairs of every region. It did work and pushed the Amhara to go to their own region. It did help a lot of other ethnic communities including Oromo to manage their affairs with their own language. Yet, it was a false and unthinkable ploy by the Tigre. No nation in their right mind will allow voluntary separation of their country . Usually it takes by the barrel of the gun to secede. Eritrea was allowed by Meles who was unwilling to face his own patron Asias who was hell bent for independence. In Ethiopia sessions can only happen by sheer power of the gun or disintegration of the state after a chaos. Without the Ethiopian political structure, monetary and economic systems what would a new Oromia state could do?.They will collapse on the weight of the new state with competing ethnic groups. Abiy is not worried about the Somali separation. He is thinking about the Tigray who has both the means and strength to dismantle Ethiopia. With Amhara on board and Eritrea on the border, it will be tough.

Duifaan, off course the Somali nomads in Dagaxbuur or those close to the Hawd are more nomadic and ingrained in the original Somali way of life, than The farmers of the Somali Galbeed heartland or the cosmopolitans like Ahmed Shide, yet these nomads are usually easy prey for those who want to use them or divide Somalis. Their earth scorching way the nomads were doing things hsd empowered TPLF and others while weakened Somalia, as it happened lately. Ahmed Shide and company are called “ Arliyo people “ who would not wage war to take other people’s land or property. In terms of nationalism, they have produced some of the most famous Somalis in our recent history. Saynab X. Cali Baxsan, Cabdi Muhumed Amin among them. Unlike others, these people only care about the existence of the Somali republic, and do not care who is in charge. They have different outlook than most. Illey certainly has done some big projects and got hundreds of millions of direct budget from the federal government. The OG are integral part of Somali Galbeed , but this time , they have to complete with others with equal footing. Even the ONLF must seek the support of their people. let them contest the election and show their strength. Being ONLF doesn’t give them the right to rule others. Let them forms their own party and contest the next election.The OG are large if every clan stands by itself, but if you compare the seven million Somalis of the region, or grouping of the D.,..r, they are very tiny group. This land is not Puntland, Somaliland or Galmudug where three or four clans live. In fact it is much similar to the Somali Republic in terms of population and diversity. I agree that , the next leader should be elected directly by the people . There is huge gap between reality and fiction among Somalis on issue of numbers and only direct election will clear the air. Illey and company had amble opportunity to prepare for the future, but decided to keep doing the same failed strategy of replacing one despot to another. Furthermore, if Ahmed Madoobe doesn’t change his attitude of owning everything and everyone, similar or worse things could happen there. We believe that the D,,,r community is the largest both in Lower Shabbelle and Jubba with large presence in Galmudug, Hiirsan and Benadir. We do believe that the Somali race won’t settle down peacefully unless this community takes charge. The separatists in North, the greedy D block and money grappling anarchist of HAG must give way to the D...r to have a lasting peace for all Somalis. By the way the “northern Habro”are not D...r, although they might claim now for political reasons.

OO, my friend on that issue I am a full blooded nomad living in the west. it is strange, too many Obama like Oromo guys who are leading.

The difference is they are killing their victims in day light , while the TPLF murdered people in dark places. Thousands had disappeared with Illey and Tplfy. Ciould you tell us when this took place. By all accounts communal tensyis going down throughout Ethiopia .

Fidel Castro said a” a revolution is strugglie to the death between the past and the future “ The forces of the past want to stop the future, and unfortunately, there will be victims.

The former TPLF stooge OO is now get a new propaganda to help The Amhara. Good luck. I wish you had shown us the thousands TPLF murdered and tortured for years including those in jail Ogadeen

He is a Somali . He is an educated civil servant who never murdered or maimed other Somalis. He is a loyal Ethiopian who doesn’t need to oppress other to rule. Many of you were willing to give a chance to the despot lieutenant of Illey who put his shoes on dead people. Somali tribes have mustered propaganda these days especially the D block.The sky is not falling, Let others rule for a change. You might even see the justice that Illey and company denied to the others.

Oodweyne, Didn't I said that I have a big fish to fry. I will be busy with the Jijiga issues for the next few months this. Jamuuriyada Barakaysan wakhti uma hay.

It is official. The era of despot Cabdi Illey is over in the Somali region. After closed door deliberations, the DDSI party had elected Mr. Ahmed Shide as the new leader which officially ends the 11 year painful rule of Illey. This selection will pave Mr. Shide as the new president of the region very soon. Also, the Liyu police has been disbanded as the security force of the Somali region. For the last few days the Liyu have been looting and pillaging communities while abandoning their positions. Also, members of Illey family are been investigated by the authorities for the theft of millions of dollars. It is an end of a painful chapters for a lot of Somalia. A very small group of blood thirsty group, created and organised by the Tplf and Cabdi Illey have been overthrow thanks to the Oromo uprising. While many Somali including my self were looking to preserve the old order for the sake order and continuity, millions of Somalia want the total demise and the removal of the tyrants who oppressed them for so long. Just like the Oromo celebrated the demise of the Tplf order, for the millions of Somalis the end of Illey and his henchmen is a great relief and a new era of freedom. There were some security concern about the disbanding of the Liyu police and the threat of anarchy and outlaws in the countryside, yet for most people, their disbanding was a relief. Analysts believe that the Liyu is too criminal or murderous to be a force that might fight for independence or even tribal reasons. They were trained to kill and abuse Somali and will not be needed in a land where people are seeking justice and freedom. It is mind boggling how a small ruthless group had managed to oppress and control millions of Somalia for so long. They acted like there is no one else but themselves. Now, Illey and his supporters must accept the new order and collaborae for the peace and development of all Somali. He and Tplf wanted to finish off the Somali and createa long civil war between the Somali and Oromo. There were a lot of victims, but we hope the worst to be over. He gambled to the lives of thousands of Somali to save the Tplf order. After he lost the gamble, he continued to the destructive route until it is too late.

Erdogan, just anouced that he will use local currency to trade with Russia, Iran, China and Ukraine. Even China has anouced few months ago that it will be using the Yaun to buy oil which could be billions. The addiction to santctions and bullying will not work any more as other nations had said. Turkey have some cards to play. Folks, the world had changed. Imagine Saudis are bullying Canada by punishing their own people including those who are in medical treatment in hospitals.

Guys, do not put fuel to the fire Trump and company are trying to ignite. In fact, Turkey is one if he few countries that are prepared for economic attacks, because, they were always expected to come. The Turkish election supposed to be held in the fall of 2019, and their enemies were preparing many stacks including currency and fueling of internal dissent. Erdogan and his party preempted the plan and held the election last June with solid majority. In terms of economy, they are growing faster than others. Their export is up double digits, tourism industry and visitors are up 20%, manufacturing and auto export are up. Almost every economic indicators are strong.as a daily follower of Turkis political and economic activity, every thing is up including weapon exports . They are taking over huge Americans exclusive industries like weapons export. They just signed billions worth of attack Helicopter deals with Pakistan, armed Deones and vehicles to Central Asia and Africa.Their domestic airline had carried 21% more people than last year. For the first time half million Chinese are visiting. Chines banks are financing billions of dollar projects. Furthermore, their biggest advantage is that their debt to GFP ration is the lowest in Europe, much lower than even Germany. Italy , Spain , Portugal and other big economies of Europe are suffering with 25% youth unemployment, and their dept to GDP ratio is 180% or more. Of course, their currency have been under attack for months and evil Gulf boys are dumping the Turkish Lira and their buying dollars will effect. Currency stability is needed for the market and investment, but it is not something that cannot be fixed. In Canada two years ago our dollar hit 69 cents dropping 30%, but the fundamentals of the economy was always stable. The Turkish economy is the most diversified in Europe. Here in Canada, 70% of our exports goes to one single trading partner—-USA. Canada is trying to diversify. Erdogan and company were preparing this sort of thing for years. It is all psychological war fare to keep Turkey for becoming independent power that cannot be dictated. Also, Turkey refused to join the sanctions on Iran and promised to trade with that nations including buying oil and gas. Folks, it is the growing pains that nations must go throug. Backward looking Somalis who live in a Small bubble and do not have stakes in the world, Who are always happy to carry the water for someone else, are already celebrating the end of Turkey that will not happen. Mr. Dahireto, your evil wish says more about you than Turkey. Turki way u Dhamaatay Kulaha.waar Soomalidan Maxaa Ka Si ah.

The proud culture of the Somali nomad that roomed the land and refused to be ruled by foreigner is no more. Rather than own and rule one if the largest land masses in the continental Africa , the new small Somali is bonded with few villages, yet he is celebrating. When the colonial officer tried to visit Hargeisa, in the late fifties,The ancestors of this Ducaale kid , Barkhad Cas said, “ Aan ooyee Albaabka I xidha “ Now, the grandson is saying “ Ingriis Cadde Ayaa Sidaa Yidhi” The OG community are saying that it was the British that called the land Ogaden, but those of us who know history clearly understands that it was King Haile Salasie who encouraged them to annex the Hawd and called it Ogaden for political reasons. The rest of the land from West of Buuhoodle all the way Jigjiga, Dir Dhaba and to the Djibouti border was given to Ethiopia in 1954. It was all clan politics spread headed by the colonial powers. The same thing goes with Djibouti. The first official census done by the French in 1949, The Awdal community of the city state were the largest, and Jaamac Zaylici become the first elected deputy. Rather than join the French, we opted for freedom and pro-Somalism. A systematic campaign to weaken us got started in 1960. In 1968 when we overwhelmingly voted “No” for the referendum for the French to stay, the French went house to house and deported thousands of citizens. He put electrified fences at the Lowyacdo crossing, and even mine fields patrolled by dogs. That same year, he changed the Land from French Somaliland and made it to the territory of the Cafaar and Ciise. He issues ID cards with Afaar as number one, Ciise 2, Awdalites 3 and so on. He closed the border and deported us much Awdalites as he could, who were wanted to join the free republic of Somalia. On the other hand , he encouraged new immigrants who rode the train by thousands both from the Afaar of Ethiopia and Somalis from Ethiopia who doesn’t grasp the battle for freedom. Within 20 years the demographics had changed.If many of you “ Gaas Dhagoole”are asked about Djibouti, you would say that it belongs to certain clan ,although over hundred thousand Awdalites still live their and if fair elections are held today their strength could be exposed. Folks, when those of us who know history and culture take the helm, the Somali nation will not be only Mogadishu, Hargeisa or those villages you keep exaggerating. Keep jumping up while it lasts. There are millions of Somalis from Babili to Mooyaale; from Zaylac, central Hiiraan to Bay and Jubba who are looking national state that works for all. Who knows, they might get one day. The Oromo are the new Somalis who want get back everything they lost and the fragmented enclaves will not match that zeal and unity of the Oromo. Frankly, I do not mind joining them.

Ducaake, as usual talking from the Gutter ( Bulaacad) is part of your upbringing. Do not twist my intention. Having realized how weak and corrupt the Somali enclaves are including Somali Galbeed, I have to swallow my pride and support those who want to be free. It is always better and morally correct to join a nation than a tribe. What you got is small potatoes on my side. 30 years old project and a hundred million dollars budget .famine, unemployment and chronic nepotism. Of course, you are slightly better than Mogadishu bomb factory. Furthermore, I would be even more comfortable joining the Oromo nation like many Somalis in Somali Galbreed than staying with an old dog that never learns anything new. The typical , Ehlul Naar” who beats the seventy years old grandma with stick while she is ridding the truck . Waxa uu yidhi Hassan Sh. Muumin isagoo Bisada ka hadlaya “ Magacyo Badanaa oo Basar Xumaa ma Soomaaliba “

Jawaar has defeated theTPLF while in Minnesota and Washington. whi knows in few years he might even take Fingine and annex to Oromia. As they say, no guts no glory.
