  1. I do not like to be devil's advocate but these pictures were probably when he was campaigning for the post. Unlike you guys I see this as a political issue that will be resolved in due course. I also know that people from both sides are fueling the conflict. Tens of thousands of Oromo are also displaced and expelled from Jijiga, and other places. Insulting and dehumanizing people will not resolve the issue. Our future is connected with the Oromo people. wE want to trade and prosper with them. More than ten million of them are our close neighbors and we want them to use our ports for trade. Other than the TPLF business transits from Djibouti , the whole country, especially the oromo and Somali zones were blockaded for the last ten years. If business opens up in the Oromo and Somali zone trade openly, we will all prosper from Somaliland, Puntland and Somali Galbeed. What have we gained for 27 years of TPLF. Disintegration, enclaves , wars, misery and poverty?. .Are you guys saying that the Somali people had better life under TPLF for all these years. Do you thing the Hargeisa boys will support Somalis against the Oromo. You couldn't even tell Illey to stop killing the nomads in Somaliland in order to please the TPLF. We never had any wars with Oromo for the last 40 years, and we shouldn't fight them now , unless for self defence. Besides , since when a Mogadishu comedian is able to translate Oromo language.
  2. They have called many others for reorganization and consultation. As the moment there are no other groups who could get tough on Ethiopia.
  3. The ONLF could elect anyone among others. In fact, the new executive is from Shiniile. It is not necessary the leader to be OG community. I just want them to lead for the convention and organizing of the people, and they could elect whom ever is agreed upon.
  4. I am a man under huge tent, I have friends all over the place. I have connections with people from Gedo, Togdheer and Sanaag, Boosaaso, Mudug,, Banadir , Bay and beyond. To find the pulse of the nation you must talk and sit with different people with ease. This conversations reveals that the Somali people are divided beyond comprehension. There is huge division in Somaliland, in Sool and Sanaag; Galmudug and Hiiraan; all the way to Mogadishu and Jubba. So far the only two places which are immune with big cracks are South West region and Puntland. Although the Tukaraq issue and the next elections would affect Puntland too. I do believe that only revolutions and strong national government could preserve the overall interest of the Somali people around the country. If a national government want to debate every sub clan, it might take another 30 years to achieve a viable nation state. In line of that apparent division, let us meet: The Man from Sool. let me remind you that I was shocked as anyone to discover how deep the division in Sool is. No wonder people are going back and forth from Buuhoodle to Garoowe and back again. Things are much different than five or even four years ago. So, in order to find out things from the horse's mouth, let us talk to this man from Sool. He is an educated local man who is well connected in his community throughout the years, in fact you could say that he is one of the leading members of that community if not the most prominent. Galbeedi: Tell me about the war and Tukaraq. Sool man: It is another game that will not benefit the Sool community. Galbeedi: For the first time there is huge army from Puntland and the Sool people seem to be in coordinated effort to take back their land, isn't that the case? Sool man: I do not think so. Kooxna dhul bay doonaysa, kuwa kalena dad bay rabaan. Roughly means those from Puntland want the strength of the people of Sool, and those from Somaliland want our land to achieve their ultimate goal. Galbeedi: Are you saying that all these military maneuvers and campaign from Puntland is nothing but a political game? Sool man: The one in Hargeisa Ina Biixi want to cover his failure and stagnation and Gaas want an extension and to win the election. Galbeedi: Put aside the Hargeisa group since we all know their intensions. Are you saying that Puntalnd doesn't want the recovery of Sool and Sanaag? Sool man: Look, on clan geneology , we are equal to the Puntland community. We might be parallel of them in terms of education, business, and politics and they can't dominate us. I do believe that the Puntland leaders do not want a parallel Sool community that could challenge them on the Somali federal side. Cali Khaliif was an example. When he became prime minister, the first people to oppose him were the Puntlanders. All they want is the number and strength of our people. Galbeedi: The Sool man doesn't explain that then president C/laahi Yusuf was aiming the top job and didn't want someone else whether from Sool likr Cali Khliif or Hassan Abshir from Nugaal to derail his ultimate goal. I heard that this time around there is a political decision among Puntlanders to recover the Sool region and set up later a federal region run by the Sool community, do you doubt that plan? Sool man: I do not think so. Few years ago we set up the SSC movement to liberate the land, and we organized a 10,000 strong men to face Somaliland, but it was Puntland under C/raxman Faroole who released and posted anti SSC documents throughout the region to discredit us? Galbeedi: what did the document contained? Sool man: It depicted the SSC as terrorist organizations in the region and implemented those memos in coordination with Somaliland. That is when we understood that the Punties will not allow a separate Sool Maamul. Galbeedi: Are you saying that the faith of the Sool region rests with the separatists. Sool man: No. As I said, one group want the land, the other want the people. Yet, those from Somaliland, their goal is clear . It took them 20 years to reach here , but their goal is clear. At the end Biixi will go back to Gamadhe and the status quo will continue. I do not expect Puntland to liberate Sool. Galbeedi: so, what is your future expectations? Sool man: I do not believe that Somliland will be able to separate or achieve that goal, but their intention is to keep all the these region in one entity in order to gain more donor aid and political negotiations with the south. If the separatists drop their illogical sepretation and start opening things , it could be different. Galbeedi: what is Cali Khaliif doing? Sool man: he is challenging and opening the system from inside. Last week when he held the Khaatumo parliament in Sool a lot of the Habro and others were shocked. Without firing a bullet he is dismantling and challenging the system. Galbeedi: How about Mogadishu?, is there any help. In my view , there was the usual money for Uganda and others I Belgium and nothing changes? Sool man: it is true, yet according to the people who attended the Belgium summit, Farmaajo was accorded the highest level of reception given the top leaders of the world. Many people including Faysal and company could get close or get access for days. He was received as any leader and the EU seems to elevate Somalia. The problem is nothing will change in Mogadishu because the elite and those who reside in that region want to keep the status quo and keep profiting from the lawlessness. The end. Folks this discussion with the Sool man has shown how Somali tribes are fragment due to grievances, pride or antiphaty to their neighbors . Few years ago the sentiment of Khaatumo was almost universal,. Before my discussion with this gentleman, I have other Sool friends that I talk to almost twice or more a week and their view is totally diametrically opposed to this gentlemans view. They do believe that the liberation of Sool is now or never. This nations is fragmented. It needs a strong hand to unite without apologies.
  5. In Somalia , we keep getting false changes that doesn't amount to nothing. Other than the real societal change of the October revolution of 1969, all we got was collapses and false starts. In 2000, C/qasim came from Djibouti to lead the first real government after te collapse of 1991. IT changed nothing. After C.laahi Yusuf took over with help of Ethiopia and African forces, the Islamic Courts fought him and demanded change of leadership and a new government by the courts. Since they were the leading forces against the TFG, everyone , especially the UN , assumed that their take over will lead to the end of hostilities. Yet, things got from bad to worse. Hassan Sheikh became the new change, yet the biggest difference of 2012 was that he was selected within Somalia territory. After few instituting buildings and the resumption of international flights in Mogadishu airport, thee weren't huge changes. As usual , another man with a shining white horse was celebrated as the biggest change ever happened in Somali in 2017. Just like his predecessor, he moved few things. He raised the profile of the country throughout the world, yet nothing tangible has changed in terms of security. When security in the capital got bad, his answer became blockades and the closing of main boulevards. Since they can't stop terrorism or bombs, their best moves are to create a green zone , ban public cars and trucks , and leave the rest of the city to the insurgents. Folks these are the constant changes of Somalia that mesmerize us every four years since the Carta government of 2000. A change which similar men changing their shirts from black to blue. The red carpet and jetting to the international capitals by the new leader never changes. The rebuilding of the Somali army never materializes after 18 years. A thirty years change that never changes any thing. Compare that to the slow moving Ethiopia that doesn't change much. Throughout history change has been slow moving in Ethiopia. They are top down society and things doesn't change much from the top. If you look back for the history of Ethiopia, change in leadership takes usually twenty, thirty or even more than fourthly. Haile Selassie who was reigning since early twenty century as crown price, became king in 1930, and was deposed by the communist revolution of Mengistu Hailemaruim in 1974, almost 44 years reign. The Derg of Mengistu ruled almost 17 years before his collapse. Them Meles Zenawi ruled from 1991-2012 , another twenty years or more. In these country change doesn't come easily, but when it comes, it is felt like an earth quake. The king is killed, the TPLF takes the whole country or a man with fast horse shows up from the Oromo countryside and like a wind goes from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean and the high lands in one day. IAs usual, 2018 is the year of the change in Ethiopia and nothing will be the same after this.and Ethiopia . Observers will tell you that the kind of changing that taking place in Ethiopia usually take decades or more. First, Four or five years must have been consumed by the usual procured peace between Eritrea and Ethiopia; then borders should have been demarcated by experts after few years of negotiations and confidence building measures which takes time. Second, prisoners are released, they are given time to leave the country and organize, and pass the parliament some liberal measures that reforms the system. Folks, that was the typical Ethiopian change people expected. The thirty year changes of the Ethiopia we have known took place in three months. Ethiopia in and others are saying these new reforms by the new prime minister supposed to take ten or more years. Many are shocked and believe this train might derail soon, others are enthusiastic for the changes, while others say that this man is miracle man sent for Ethiopia. Yet, when I asked Somalis who reside in Ethiopia or those who are politically connected, they are not jumping up, while others are consciously optimistic. A friend I talked to told me that changes were happening in Ethiopia since the death of emperor Menelik, yet it never affected positively for the Somalis. It was always like the changes that took place in colonial powers like Britain in the turn of the century while the colonial out posts remain the same. In order to understand what these changes mean for the people of Somalil Galbeed, let us discuss the latest political moves made by Somalis both in Addis, Dire Dawa, and Asmara. I will divide them in three groups who are the leading forces to replace Cabdi Illey. The first group is Called Dulmi Diid. This group is congregating mostly in the Ethiopian capital and major diaspora cities like Minneapolis. Most of these were former allies of Cabdi Illey who in the early years profited from the system. They are largely Jijiga based although there are other people from different regions like Shiniile, Harowo , Godey and from the diaspora. Unlike the ONLF, they do not have any plans or political strategy other than to replace the Illey administration. They are loosely connected with former ministers of the Illey government, while others are fed up of the tribal domination and oppression of the Illey camp. They were making noise in Minneapolis and Addis Abeba. So far no senior official of the Abiy Ahmed government had met them, and the prime minister has ignored them. In my opinion, he considers them a pressure group who want to replace illey through hotel conferences and social media. They are sipping tea in Addis hotels. While they rare reform minded and present different communities, they do not have any serious political weight or political muscle to change things in the future. They are decent civil society people that must take in the future deliberations of Somali Galbeed, but not the actual change makers. They can demonstrate in the diaspora and demand change , but they do not have future plans for the people of Somali Galbeed. The New WSLF , Al-Etihad and former members of the Illey coalition. This group is mainly led by former members of Al Ithihad Al-Islam movement that made a deal with illey in 2008 and 2010. Some of these were former members of the ONLF who joined the Illey system and joined the security and political apparatus of Illey in order to survive from persecution of Somali regional states and Ethiopian forces in Somalia and the Zone. Some of them are good people who made a reasonable choice to became part of the ruling class in Jijiga. THeir leading members tried to influence Illey to distance himself from the TPLF and force him to indirectly join the uprising in Ethiopia. The fact is that they were there with Illey until to the end. Now they are trying to join the bandwagon of change and create a new WSLF that has different members across the Somali clan landscape. The biggest problem with these people is that they are " Maxakamado" type players who are not deeply principled. Like their comrades in Mogadishu , they may just give up the Somali shop to Ethiopia in order to get the power. Also, they do not have political manifesto or future plans for the region. The ONLF in Asmara and around the world. The ONLF had been crushed both by Cabdi Illey, Al-Shabaab faction controlled by Ethiopia, the Somali regional states and the TPLF. Even the Farmaajo government joined the crowd to decimate them, yet as of today, they are the only credible organization that has the strategy, goals and credibility to participate the future of Somali Galbeed.Unlike others, they have a freedom manifesto for the region. Unlike others, they are not interested to replace Cabdi Illey and be another Somali entity that is totally subservient to the Addis power. They want seriously to negotiate the future of the region and its freedom. No one knows if that leads to full autonomy, future referendum or independence. At the same , for the ONLF to be seen as the most prominent Somali freedom movement, it must take certain political and nominal reforms. First, The ONLF must understand that the current structure of the organization must change and show transparency, Somali hood and representation of Somali Galbeed people. Most of all, they must get rid of the so called, Dalka Ogaadeniya" or any connotation with tribal names. We do not buy at all the so called name by the colonials. Somali regional government is not a bad name. It keeps the Somali identity in Ethiopia. Second, It must convene a new inclusive grand conference to consult among the stake holders, and Somalis in the region. A political strategy must be prepared that must lead either independence, Future time frame for referendum vote or political and economic autonomy that is different than other regions. They must also encourage other Somali groups who are vying for power to , especially those from the diaspora, to support their agenda and demonstrate like the Oromo to force a real change. Further more, they must avoid quick fixes or premature take over of the regional government without rigorous debate among the communities and stake holders. In conclusion, this is the last opening of Ethiopia until probably 2030, so we must be prepared to take advantage as a Somali community, and we must not the victims of old colonial agenda that marginalizes Somalis in the 21st century. At the moment, other the ONLF, I do not see any other Somali group that could lead to a real change in Somali Galbeed.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. This C/weli Gaas should be the next president of Somalia. absolutely. He is confident.
  12. 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.
  13. Allah ha kuu Naxariisto C/laahi qarshe. Certainly he left a great legacy. He was the original walaalaha Hargeisa of late fifties.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Some Somalis joined the Oromo Kilil because of their fear and oppression of Illey
  17. 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
  18. 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.
