The Hargeisa tribe is after thought on this issues. There easily could be ten or more Berbera in the horn. There won't be anymore Meles or Tigray to encourage your secession. It is strange that these Habro kids worry about Ethiopia being disintegrated, yet they are working over time to dismantle their own country. Ethiopia has to open up more. An Oromo prime minister is not enough.Neither Abiy nor others will keep things as before. And yes, some of us are always hoping the disintegration of Ethiopia and the Unity of Somali including other missing puzzles in Kenya and Somali galbeed.

Maakhiri1 You hit it on the nail. If these Abiy guy interferes with black gold which is totally the monopoly of the Gulf Arabs in east Africa and middle east, he will be history sooner than we think. As some had said before, Ethiopia is a very weak country that has a huge mess within to resolve.

OO, Why you start putting my name in the headlines? . No I know you are in the trouble. Any way, replacing Illey should not lead any civil war. The appointed leaders of the Ethiopian Kilils come and go. main power used to rest with Ethiopian military garrisons and Tigray finance police to protect their importers. As I said Illey was just a military warden to keep the prison in order. The new leaders will easily find another enforcer. The main reason he lasted too long with the TPLF was he helped them move hard currency through Wajaale and Dahabshiil which transferred to banks in Dubai. So, for the sake of the Somalis, do not make this as president of a republic is been overthrown or something similar. On the Gas issue, this Abiy guy is just hallucinating. No one can dig anything in the Somali region without the permission of the people.The Somali zone is under emergency rule , and in order to dig gas they must bring soldiers to protect the Chinese.

OO, Ethiopia , Somalia and Sudan have to wait for a while. There are big fish to fry. The world power and economy is shifting to Asia. Turkey will be concentrating on China, Pakistan and central Asia. Since America is becoming protectionist on trade, the EU and others have to find other markets. Next will be SAudi Arabia. Bin Salman must reduce his reliance on the colonial post called UAE after the conclusion of the Yemen war.Turkey must reduce the tensin between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I totally agree with you. That is the last thing anyone desires. Other than the ONLF, there are no armed Jabhad or people organized tribally who want the power in the Kilil. Also, let us not forget, Illey neither took the power nor earned , he was given by the TPLF to opress and keep Somalis down while they were busy with the Somali republic. Anyway, whoever comes is an appointed governor who must answer to the prime minister. He needs to open up and create an open and basic freedom for the people. His most important job will be to find common ground and reduce the tension among Somalis and the Oromo. In most Kilil in Ethiopia there are youth, business and wise people empowered by the Kilil president. Somalis must lose that fear and talk again. Most of the people of West Somalia are decent and God fearing people who are not hell bent on power or tribal domination. They just want to survive and keep their Somalihood under the oppression of the Northern Ahmara and Tigray. They are not SNM, SSDF or USC. I haven't met anyone who says that their tribe must be in charge. The Oromo want to be free. Of course there will be disputes, but we should never ally ourselves with the TPLF or Ahmara against Oromo, especially the local Hararge Oromo who are Cali , Cumar and Haliimo.

Che, You could be right. Yet, we Somalis must be ready life without Illey. We can't connect all our survival and future to Illey. He can not reinvent himself at this stage. There are other capable Somalis who could save the people and create a new situation to lower the confrontation between us and the Oromo. OO, says that without Illey we all going to disappear but it is too late for now. We must prepare post Illey kilil. The Affar still could live without the old system so does Tigray themselves. We are resilient people and we were there before Illey and will live after him. Of course his unity was with barrel of the gun and the orders of the TPLF. We need to create a different Kilil that is not a puppet to either Tigray, Amhara or Oromo.

Mega Projects in Turkey. Here the narrator talks about major projects , yet as usual adds his propaganda against Erdogan. In fact most of these projects were finished and opened as promised except the Istanbul canal .

Nigeria couldn't defend the last three minutes. It keep happening again and again. Coaches are carried away by excitement. Should have brought fresh legs and kept 8 men in the penalty box to clear every ball. Well it is football and things happen.Messi got life line.

If you actv like racist and attack your own players like the German media did, you definitely go down as losers. Ozil should quit the national team after this.

Just watched Korea defeat Germany 2:0

Mourad, you are probably spoon fed by western media.I knew sooner or later these attacks and opinions who are one sided and vicios would affect those who do not open their horizon, or worse those who are weak in their hearts. Angela Merkel is in power for 14 years and she still ruling with minority government. She is dominating the economy of Europe by forcing everyone to join the Euro currency dominated by the German bank, and If she won the last election, she would have ruled two decades. Helmut Kohl ruled for 16 years before he lost.Most leaders in the world leave when their support goes down or leave with their own terms . Erdogan is not different. He took over in 2003, and ruling less than 15 years , 11 years as prime minister and his fourth year as president. Despite the propaganda, Erdogan never jailed or had a political prisoner before the coup of 2016. Turkey had experienced real democracy only through Erdogan. As late as 2013, women were arrested or denied university, public service and jobs just because they wear head scarfs. Abdullah Gul was prime minister and president working with Erdogan, and president ERdogan run the second term because the last system allowed the president to run for one term of six years. Even, this time around, Cabdalla Gul was encouraged by another more conservative Islamic oriented party to run for office to replace Erdogan. He said he will consider if all opposition parties agree on him. Believe me, eve the secular parties were learning to be conservative or pro Islamic heritage. It is a good shift. in The next election, no one will fear about being pro Islamic heritage. Erdogan took over from Gul in 2003 as prime minister and 2014, as president. I wish Somalia would be like that. A nationalist country shaped by Islamic heritage. Erdogan will eventually leave in 2023, the centennial of the forming of the Turkish republic, after achieving unprecedented development. If this country had good leaders decades before Erdogan, they would have joined the trillion dollar economies like South Korea, Taiwan and others. Here in Canada the last prime minister was ruling the country with less than 38% of the vote. having 52% of the vote is considered landslide in most countries. In 2002, the GDP of Turkey was $196 billion. In sixteen years of AKP , it quadrupled, and the expected GDP in 2018 will be $900 billion. Economist and GDP forecasters believe that by 2025 , Turkey will be the 10th economy in the world with over trillion dollars. Even with currency speculators and others attacking the Turkish lira, their economic growth was the second largest in the world with 7.4%.. Transformative leaders are rare and if allowed leave a great legacy. Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia served his country with distinction and unprecedented progress from 1981-2003. For those 22 years, Malaysia, a middle of the road country in Asia, joined among the most advanced countries in the world. For most of us, Turks , because of their history, geography and the great tradition of the past, should be among the leading countries of the world. People of Tukic heritage and language occupy some of the largest countries in central Asia and caucasus. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan , Tajikistan, and others are all Turkic speaking people who are looking toward Turkey for leadership. In the future, they could form a huge union that has some of the richest resources in the world. Many others in central Europe like Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, Turks in Bulgaria and other, all have cultural connection and want to integrate economically with Turkey. A great nation with the Ottoman history must be a leading nation both in Europe and the middle east, not a puppet state . Thus a great nation like Turkey needs an executive presidency to implement both political and economic changes. At his crucial stage in the region, Turkey needs to keep the same leadership in order to pass the second stage of development and instability in the region from Iraq , Syria, and Iran. There are those who want to fragment the middle east and make them tiny sectarian entities with chaos, and these forces might eventually target a weak Turkey with weak and dysfunctional leadership. Just like they destroyed Iraq, they wanted to create three sectarian nations in Syria, and eventually fragment the whole middle east. At this stage in the middle east, those who care must keep the Turks united under unified leadership. You probably get your headlines from Daily mail or from neo conservatives or the pro interventionist liberal media, but those of us who understand few things know where the ball is headed. Since 1989, this country had short lived governments like Italy with constant bickering and instability. It was Erdogan who made the deal with Kurdish leaders, allowed their language to be broadcasted in public television, and opened them to form their own party. At the Sunday election, they got 11% of the and 66 members of parliament. It all happened under the AKP. My friend, you do not know how Turkey was close to end up a civil war or C/fataax Sisi style military ruler. We the faithful, praise Allah for this peaceful election and good future for both Turkey and the region. Finally, please, allow us to enjoy this peaceful victory.

If trade is opened between the Somalis and Otomo, things could be great. The Hararge region has more people than combined of Mogadishu, Hargeisa and Bosaso. We do not fear Oromo. Of course there will be clashes just as there are in Tukaraq, Gaalkacayo or Marka, but eventually, we will co-exit with them. Why would a despot who worked and lived with TPLF for 27 years would not try to live with his neighbors.

Since Gabre was an intelligence officer to destabilize Somalia both politically and militarily, he could use that trade to destabilize Addis , a big city with mixed ethnic. No wonder IGAD fired him quickly. As I said many times, There are no Somalis to built bombs and suicide belts. They are manufactured somewhere else. Jowhar must clean up the house and get those killers. Who knows we might breath. OO, it was the TPLF who transferred more Somali territory to Oromo and others under Illey. No the Kilil leader ever transferred or made dispuyable than Illey. Of course we want to trade the 10 million Oromo who are our brothers in our neighborhood. We want to open the trade roads closed by TPLF and Illey to enrich the Tigray importers in Djibouti and Addis. The TPLF finance police and army control all routes to deny people to bring one bag of rice and even one shirt. The time has come to dismantle the TPLF monopoly and open the OROMO business to the Somalis.

To keep the Killil united is important. It is probably the only good thing about Illey. Yet, the new guy will not mind to keep us down. OO, remember the onus is on Cabdi Illey to open up the Somali region and unite the people. If you think you can keep things as usual, definitely some of us will join the Oromo to survive. becoming Somali Oromo might not be as bad as being Somali Tigray of the last ten years.

Cabdi Illey will not be fired for many reasons. First, While Abiy Ahmed is busy dealing with the old guard of the north, he doesn't want another Oromo style uprising in the Somali zone. Second, Abiy knows among all the Ethiopian ethnics, the Somalis are distinct and aren't attached to the so called Ethiopiawi slogan. Thus, having a dictator keep the order and keep the old oppression system in place is always prefered in the zone. Abiy maybe Oromo, but he shares with Tigray that Somalis should be always kept in emergency situation where trade and freedom are denied. OO, always talks about not related issue. Djibouti doesn't have any borders with Oromo, so your so called trade routes are red hearing.If I were Abiy, I would keep Illey for life. Cabdi Illey is a prison warden who does well to keep the Somali inmates quite.He will gladly serf whomever is the boss. Yesterday, he staged one of the biggest pro Abiy demonstration to condemn the explosion in Addis and support the new guy. When the Oromo and Amhara were agitating against the TPLF, he did the same thing. OO, Ma maqashay, ninkii hooyaday guursadaba waa adeerkay.

Both Samafal and Suldaanka did not get the message " Nuux Baasto" sending. The guy is indirectly implementing some of the points raised by Michael Keating mainly opening contacts with commanders and helping those affected by the war. . By mentioning Saeed Dheer . he is trying to open communications with the opposing commander and helping the people affected by the war. The Jeegaan is always playing games with public in Hargeisa. THey can't openly say that we succumbed to the orders of the UN envoy.

Mexico could do a lot of damages, and might became the last four. Germany was desperate. The Swedish defender made a huge mistake of committing foul at the edge of penalty for the last 30 second. Germany is not a creative team, if you keep them away from the box, they can't do match. Iran was great today. They gave 110% . I wish they played as desperate as today when they played Spain. Despite the old history of the big teams like Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Spain, the FIFA world cup of 2018, had became the great equalizer. Every nation, if they get a decent coach could go all the way. The Argentina coach lost his mind after conceding just gool at 55 minute. As big tee with 40 more minute to play , he should have managed, yet he lost control before the players. He said , " We supposed to give the ball to Messi, and we couldn't". Can you imagine a coach relying to one guy. As I said before, the weak Neymar was crying like a baby. Go figure.

One thing is true. Unless we expel the over eating foreign army, Somalia will never be free. Poor kids with few technicals are controlling the Somali landscape while 22,000 troops are hiding in their bases. I do not know how long this will go on.

When we ask the ONLF why you keep using the " Ogaden" name for the region, they will tell you that, " The international media knows that name " or something similar to " Ingriis Cadde ayaa u Bixiyey". This land is called Soomaali Galbeed, and it is time to use the right name. Maalinba reer baa rabo in uu yeesho dhul Soomaaliyeed oo Magac ula baxo. Kuwa Hargeisa Jooga ayaanu Khaati ka Joognaa oo maalin walba leh " Ingriis Cadde" ayaa waxaa Sameeyey, miyaanu kuwa kale ku dari karnaa. The Republic of Western Somalia.

Suldaanka, Thanks for celebrating this great day and reminding us all. Waad ku mahadsan tahay Xaflada Villa-Somalia ee aad noo soo gudbisay. Calanka la saaray bluugle ayuu ahaa. Xuduudanan Lixdankii ayaa la calaamadeeyey. Xuduuudi gumaysigu ka tagay ee noqotay "The official border" cidna ma bedeli karto.

It is official. President Erdogan is the winner. With almost 90%, this is the highest participation of election in any country in recent memory. This is a victory for the Turkish democracy. No one can minimize this victory of the people. Congratulations. As usual, the sad thing tomorrow we have to go back and debate Somalis fighting for their villages. Which one is better.

Turkish Prliament sets are 600 AKP 295 MHP 45 CHIP 146 HDP 66 IYI 44 Erdogan Plus the HMP alliance has 340 seats . 40 more than needed for majority in the parliament.
