With the Darwiish castles logo in the letterhead, the Khaatumo consultative committee is really well organized and professional compared to the 32 years old Jamuuriyad.
THeir message hasn't changed since day one. I think the Laascaanood resistance has won a great victory altrady. Furthermore, Abukar Baalle, the Somali UN envoy has put a dagger on Somaliland.
He visited our town from New York few years ago, and when he finished his speech, jokingly, I told a friend from Mogadishu that this guy was the first well qualified and educated speaker from that part of the country.
Soon we will see the faces of the Biixi kids who torture people in Hargeisa, especially women. Some for having blue flag in their bed, others for visiting MOgadishu or just bad mouthed the dear leader. If there is a sanction list, then police chief Dabagale must be on the top of the list. This is the man who shoots civilian to kill and claims that they were responding stones thrown to police.
Also Caateeye, the young defence minister sent by Omar Geelle should be on the list. Ciidanku gacan Bir ah ayey ku qabanayaan waa hadaladiisa.

We are still waiting the facts, but a great tragedy has taken place in Mogadishu today. Unverified reports say 14 members of the forces ( don't know yet if they were Macasley or regular troops) fighting Al-shbaab who have been nursing from the wounds they sustained in Hiiraan fighting, were killed by Al-shbaab in a safe house in Abdulaziiz district.
Does anyone heard about that tragedy?
This HSM guy is either will go big or bust. Nothing in between.

2 minutes ago, baala xoofto said:This strategy coupled with the Olive branch on the other hand has taken all the oxygen from the anti-peace elements
Then why a full attack today?
In fact, today's war was the heaviest ever. Before there were skirmishes and shelling, but today, close to a brigade from Somaliland attacked Laascaanood to take over the city and overwhelm the defenders. It was a real war with Ak47 and machine with thousands of men participating ( Gacan baa la isla tagay dagaalka maanta). Muuse Biixi wanted to crush the Laascaanood resistance and occupy the city before the visit of the American ambassador to Hargeisa and claim to be fighting terrorists.
Reliable sources say that the Somaliland forces have been repulsed and defeated with heavy loses. I have been told that the Garaad community members from Puntland BSF who left Boosaaso and others who were formerly trained with Danab forces who have higher fighting experience than the usual militia had inflicted the biggest damage to Somaliland.
More than anything Somaliland lost the messaging and the reason they are fighting in Sool. The message of the Laascaanood people is simple, relatable and understandable. They say," We are caucusing to decide for our future; we will negotiate when the gun on our head (Somaliland forces) are removed from our town".
And what Somaliland say. "Laascaanood people are Somaliland but they have been taken over by terrorists; we will resolve the issue with negotiations but we have to shell the town to defend the forces; we are sent elders yesterday, but today will not leave the city". It is confusing and misleading. No wonder the whole Somali world is siding with Laascaanood.
-
The heavy coverage of the Laascaanood conflict seem to be subsiding these days with no major movements fron the fronts. While we mainly cover the Laascaanod side of the conflict due to the unjust bombardment of Somalialand forces to the civilian infrastructure, it is important to hear from the other side. By that, I don't mean talking to the unhinged and out of touch guys like our own Oodweyne and Xaaji Xanjuf types . but others who are more or less neutral and always side to the peace due to stakes they have in Somaliland,
So, I did talk to a guy who hails originally from Awdal, but born and raised in Hargeisa. He had relocated from the diaspora, built a house and moved his family back home. So, I asked him both the conflict, Hargeisa politics and the future according to his personal experience.
Galbeedi: What did you hear from Somaliland about the war in Laascaanood these days since you have extensive family connection in Hargeisa and beyond?
Somaliland Guy: We are at the end of the conflict and within days things will get quiet.
Galbeedi: What makes you think like that? today was the 14th day of the war and the guns are still roaring from both sides.
Somaliland guy: Somaliland might claim this to be a war between the state and Reer Sool, but as most Somali conflicts had shown, it just another clan conflict, and these kinds of wars last mostly four to six weeks maximum. By now the Sool forces might have dwindling stocks of ammunition and soon they might run out of bullets. Furthermore, for the last decades, most Somali conflicts conclude in a stalemate. No one is defeated completely which is the main reason national governments failed to take real shape of governing.
Galbeedi: Most people believe that the only way this war will end could be the relocation of the forces from Laascaanood especially the Somaliland forces.
S.Guy: Despite the importance of the Laascaanood conflict, no major war has taken place so far. Sooner or later these forces will move away from each other, but it all depends about the actions of Garaad community forces who are loyal to Somaliland.
Galbeedi: I thought everyone said that most of the Garaad community forces allied with Somaliland had already moves and joined the local forces.
S.Guy: No, that is not totally true. THere are still well armed Garaad community forces led by colonel Mahad Cambaashe and others who are not involved in the shelling of the city, but who are in stand by mood at the moment. Everyone knows that he has the most mechanized units among Somaliland forces in the area.
Galbeedi: what do you mean by stand by? are they waiting orders?
S.Guy: No, unlike many people, there is no major confrontations now. The locals try to push the Somaliland forces away as much as possible, yet despite some movements in Some fronts, everyone is around Laascaanood. Colonel Camaashe is waiting how the political moves take place and like everyone he is " Wait and see mood". So, he isn't risking much and he sees the Somaliland side as only defending themselves. What we are hearing from people in Hargeisa is that Somaliland hasn't used its power so far including its allies in Sool.
Galbeedi: So, what is the next move? We have seen Muuse Biixi is in disarray by issuing false and conflicting statements?
S.Guy: He doesn't have the ears of the Garaads in Laascaanood, and the ministers he sent to Laascaanood had failed to resolve anything. It is the speaker of the parliament who is talking to the Garaads and he is sending conflicting messages to Muuse Biixi in order to score political points. Furthermore, Biixi closed the doors of the elders five years ago and they both don't trust each other.
Galbeedi: Do the elders had the capacity to resolve the issue a this moment after the destruction of the city and the bad blood between the two?
S.Guy: The Somaliland elders had been sidelined by Muuse for a long time, and the only things these guys have mastered is how to milk cash from the government. They will create an enterprise that will feed both elders from Laascaanood and Hargeisa, they understand each other more than we think and the issue is moving to the elders and the back and forth will continue. At the end the Somaliland forces will move away from the city by some distance , we don't know how many kilometers, or permanently move to Adhicadeeye.
Galbeedi: After the relocation, what could be next?
S.Guy: Well, It will be like any other frozen conflict in the region. The recriminations and the squabbling will move to Laascaanood and Hargeisa. The Sool community will face each other for good and no one knows how their debate will take shape. But the bigger debate will take place in Hargeisa.
Galbeedi: Is the opposition demanding elections as usual?
S.Guy: Waddani is trying to ride the Laascaanood conflict, but they had already failed big time and the more these things go on, Biixi will stay and make sure both WAddani and UCID are two parties among the dozen.
Galbeedi: Personally, I think Waddani has gained some respect in Sool region and other places by being alternative to Biixi in war and peace.
S.Guy: This Cirro guy is always one day late and short one dollar. As soon as the uprising of the city begun, he could have jumped and landed in Laascaanood to reassure people and become the point man by sidelining Biixi and taking charge of the issues, but as usual, he was weak and went hiding. Finally, when he saw the statements of the Americans and international community he decided to come forward and ask few guys (Mohamed Abiib, Ina Galaal, Barkhad Batuun) to make strong statements. He could aggravate the issue as much as he wants, but the three-party election is finished. The first election will be among all parties.
Galbeedi: So , did you the tensions going high in Hargeisa?
S.Guy: nothing will be the same after Laascaanood. This whole project has to be re-evaluated totally. Hargeisa seems to be how Mogadishu was in 1988. The corruption is out of bounds, the wrong doing, the injustice, the looting, the clan animosity, the greed has surpassed any limits. The decent people stay away from the government, and only the losers, the swindlers and the worst among society join the government. The millionaire guy who isn't hungry is selling expired medicine, yet he is ahead of you at first line in the Masjid. Furthermore, no one trusts anyone. The good news is still there are some good people in Somaliland who might repair the ship.
Galbeedi: Do you see any elections taking place?
S.Guy: No at the moment. In this kind of environment elections will create instablity in Somaliland. The opposition is so hungry and in the recent Somali politics, tribes do not give way to others but keep them down until the end. Some will tell you that many projects, including the Somaliland one, will probably end thanks to the demise of TPLF. With the incoming econmic integration of the horn, it will be difficult to sustain isolation.
Galbeedi: Did you see any nig moves from the region lately?
S.Guy: The Abiy Ahmed led integration was stalled by the Ethiopian war and by Kenya which had misgivings about Ethiopia. Now Eritrea, Kenya and Ethiopia are the same page. HSM has no choice but to join, and Djibouti couldn't stop the train.
Galbeedi: Did you see HSM winning the war against Al-Shbaab?
S.Guy: No. HSM waging war against Al-shbaab is false. After the invasion of Al-shbaab from south west , Ethiopia had realized that these forces havd crossed from Hiiraan and posed a direct threat for the first time. THey called Laftagaren and the governor of Hiiraan, not the Hir-Shabeelle leader. They decided to eliminate the threat from Hiiraan and tapped Cali Jayte and Sanbloolshe to lead the effort. It is an Ethiopian ptoject which asked the Americans for air cover to clear the border area. The munitions were provided by Ethiopia and soon will end. Furthermore, I don't believe that the southern elites don't understand or are willing to pay the sacrifices to build state which is much bigger than money or personal gain. He got 5,000 men from Eritrea, yet he decided to arm clans and that tells me everything.
Galbeedi: I see, but they had made some success so far, don't you think?
S.Guy: Time will tell, but judging the way things are moving, we will be talking about Hiiraan the same time next year. Also, here we are talking about one clan waging war and taking credit while a large number of other clans Hiiraan are either on the fence or fighting with Al-shbaab. Here I see one clan thinking they are Hiiraan and that will end in disaster. Furthermore, that clan will be working soon to separate Hiiraan from Hir-shabeele peobably insitigated by none other than Sanbloolshe.
Let us leave it there.

9 hours ago, Illyria said:A beggar bagger playing pretence repartee to perforate the psyche of the bamboozled public in the triangle,
I need a dictioinary for that to fully grasp.
Anyway, Is lying becoming normal among Somaliland leaders. Is this general serious or has some medical condition?
In 2002, then president Rayaale tried to visit Laascaanood which was politically under Puntland. He was fired uopn and he left in haste. In 2007, Xaabsade and Cali Sandulle , who left Hargeisa with Garaad C/qani in 1997 and held estabilsh Puntland came and handed Laascaanood to Rayaale without bullets being fired.
"Kulaha dagaal ka dib ayey Laascaanood gacanta Somaliland ku soo noqotay" It has never been in Somaliland before. Waar ninku been badanaa.
-
That is a powerful answer to the useless talks of the likes of Ina Cali Koore. As i said many times, there are millions of Somalis who rather be in the vast Somali ocean than being a big fish in a small pound which many in Somaliland failed to grasp.
-
Illyria,
My Puntland friend is in the diaspora just like me sucking Latte, and among the Puntlanders I met, he is more of right wing than left in terms his thinkinf.
Having said that you really raised two very good points. One is the deep state in Puntland: Isimada, traders and the people are on board and no leader could derail their support. The other one is:
1 hour ago, Illyria said:The most viable option for SSC is that of a provisional Federal State similar to those satellite admins in Jawhar & Beledweyn. Short of that is unacceptable. GalMudug, carved out of S Mudug is a State for a reason, and so is Delaware.
If Hirshabele whose leader resides in Mogadishu with almost zero institutions other than armed militia could pull off a provisional state in name only so does Khaatumo.
I think the main takeaway from him is that the next KHaatumo should avoid those who have the political thinking of the late Ali Khaliif, may Allah bless his soul. Blessing of the PUntland leadership is crucial in the short term.
-
Today I want to address the political reality of the Laascaanood uprising. According to Puntland analysts, after the dust settles, the political issues surrounding Khatumo could be more difficult than the war itself. To gage the other side of the KHaatumo Vs Somaliland conflict, I had a long discussion with a gentleman from Puntland.
While the overwhelming public or I should say almost everyone in Puntland supports the Khaatumo uprising in Laascaanood, The political elite sees things differently. according to Puntland political insiders, there are big gabs in terms of the end goal. So, to gage the thinking of the Puntland political class, I had to sit down to this guy and hear it from the horse's mouth.
Galbeedi: We all know the Laascaanood uprising had united the Garaad community, but let us discuss where it is heading after guns become silent?
Puntland Guy: THere is a difficult road ahead, one that is more difficult than the current war. I am talking about what kind of political form will Khaatumo establish after the war.
Galbeedi: If they form their own provisional administration, get Defacto recognition from the federal government just like the early stages of Galmudug circa 2011-2012, wouldn't that be enough for starters?
Puntland Guy: The federal government under president Hassan Sheikh will not recognize Khaatumo. The first HSM regime in 2012, refused to recognize Jubbaland despite Ahmed Madoobe controlling KIsmaayo and surrounding area with no significant opposition. He relented and accepted due to trhe huge pressure Puntland and others put HSM including protests while he was visiting USA. THat is when HSM started the Galmudug state project. Besides, HSM has to organize Galmudug due to his close association with that community and to avoid pressure and clashes in Mogadishu and central Somalia. But Khaatumo isn't Galmudug.
Galbeedi: Is it possible to apply the same pressure to HSM in order to recognize Khaatumo?
Puntland Guy: No. That is out of the question. HSM is a tribally minded leader and for him recognizing Khaatumo means welcoming another H..ti or D block region which no no in his book. If the pressure becomes unbearable the best, he could do is allow Khaatumo under Puntland sphere. In Mogadishu, there is a code of policy to sideline Puntlanders and enhance the JUbbland branch of the D block.
Galbeedi: Are the Khaatumo guys willing to be under the protection of Puntland politically to have their own Maamul?
Puntland Guy: Even if Somaliland leaves the area and projects its security forces far away from Laascaanood, they will face uncertainty. If you remember, the Galmudug of president Caalin controlled a district of Baraxley in Gaalkacayo, but president Faroole made them full partners by inviting them the Garoowe 1 and 2 despite their weakness and lack of territory. It was a political move. So, for Khaatumo to survive in the next difficult stage they must come under the Puntland wings and cover. They could access the foreign donor share through Garoowe and so on. But if they believe the fairy tale of the Somali government and became antagonistic to Puntland they will suffer.
Galbeedi: I am sensing that you don't have a faith of Khaatumo standing by itself without leaning to no one? Isn't that the typical Puntland political goal of swallowing that region.
Puntland Guy: Not at all. There are many people who are bi-lingual in Khaatumo ( Here he doesn't mean about speaking French Ala Canada parlance) and Behind the public uprising there is a deep tension. There is a group among Khaatumo that got rich through Somaliland either with business connections or political patronage and that group isn't fully on board yet.
Galbeedi: There is tension in every region and community today. What is your biggest fear?
Puntland Guy: My biggest fear is clashes among them. They must avoid that in order to survive at this difficult time. Also, they must avoid the rise of a warlord among the uprising and the community. Puntland, despite its internal problems had avoided a warlord to rise in their regions. Today February 15, as we speak, I have seen a video clip of a would-be warlord claiming to be in charge.
Galbeedi: who are you referring to?
Puntland Guy: He is the Qat trader guy called Mohamed Djibuutaawi. Today he publicly said he is in charge and was sending conflicting messages to Muuse Biixi. He might have some money and militia, but he has no capacity to sort these problems. As I said the next two years will be tough and since there is no recognition coming from the federal government, they better establish a good relationship with Puntland. Also, Hargeisa, not the Maamul, but the city itself, is captivating and many people from Puntland and Garaad community go there for big city life which isn't possible in Garoowe or Boosaaso. Furthermore, it is expensive to maintain the life style of the KHaatumo elite.
Galbeedi: Don't you see that 2023 is a different era? . People had paid for the ultimate price and this project and the stakes are higher than usual?
Puntlanf Guy: Of course, they have no choice but to fight, but they have to see now the rough road ahead.
Galbeedi: What could Somaliland do to sideline or damage the Khaatumo project?
PUntland Guy: Everyone knows that Somaliland will lose any war no matter what, but their strength is political mechanizations and balkanizing the Khaatumo.
Well folks those are the main points.
As we speak, Muuse is sending finally the elders from Somaliland. The meeting will happen in OOg if Khaatumo Garaads accept it. It looks that these elders will be cover for Muuse to accept the order of the international community. The elders will recomend the relocation of the forces which is the minimum Khaatumo will accept. Finally, the guns might become silent.

15 hours ago, AhmedGuled said:f Djibouti (With American/UK help) destroy Somaliland that would be a surprised I didn't see coming. LOL
Wrong. The British help a lot to Somaliland including training the RRU that shoots civilians who are protesting.

Thanks for the correction.
Xaaji,
There is a video clip, I might locate some day. Discussing the Berbera corridor which could get some of Ethiopian trade to SomalilandOmar Geelle said, " there is 240 KM between Bebera and Wajaale and it will cost $400 million dollars, how you get that money". It isn't only about competition, but also trade and development of Somaliland itself which could reduce poverty.

Raage Ugaas, the great Somali poet of late 19th century and early 20th century said:
Baahida nin baa jira
Kula daydayaayo daalna ka badane
Aanse Doonahayn in hesho
Dayim Abidkaaye
Dadkuna moodi Duur wadasho
Wax ukala dahsoonayne.
The Reer Mudug know only one type of war, the fist fight, but the coastal communities or those with deep cultural civilizations fight in eleven different ways. Muuse Biixi is a deraged former Soldier who want to be a king in HArgeisa where every man is his own Suldaan. He not only misjudge the north, but the Somali people in general. In Hargeisa, they already call him " Muuse Handraab" the man who closed the gates.
He is trying to be the same league with Omar Geelle, the former " Vice police squad" member, who became intelligence director and killed people for a living. HE brought both the Chinese and the Americans in the same house, but when the Americans ploted to move to Berbera for a change, Geelle struck and destablized both Berbera and Somaliland indirectly. Americans leaving Djibouti means many things. Knowing the coming cold war with China, the Americans might destablize the whole island than allowing the Chinese to share with them.
Rather than tell Biixi to accept peace and withdraw from Laascaanood, he told him to fight to the death while sending false signals to the region as the man mediating the parties. AS such, the Americans had cancelled the African militery exsesise in Berbera and moved to Kenya. No body want to come to a war zone. Geelle, the double agent had scored against Somaliland again. Bebera has always been his target .
Now, how about the leader of the elder counsil of Mogadishu HSM?
A deadly war is been fought in Somalia and he is double talking like an elder who is paid from different accounts. How brain dead is Somalia that the leader of the country is hidding from his responsibility to save lives and bring peace. Why you are entertaining and laughing with Muuse Biixi in Djibouti if you can't call him when things are tough.Furthermore, he is traveling as usual while the UN and Human Right organizations are demanding a resolution for the conflict. We all know how weak the Somali government is since 1991, but one might think that the so called president would use his little legitimacy for leverage to pull people to his direction. If he keeps in this road, he might go down with Gelle who is in his last days.
The UN must take its responsibilities seriously and take charge of the issue since Somalia has a president who is in charge MOgadishu and the surrounding towns only.

2 hours ago, AhmedGuled said:Such a missed opportunity to take full control of Somalia now we have to contend with a never ending civil war
Countless people including former UN envoy Mohamed Sahnoun told them in 1993 to declare the government of Somalia. The Maakhiri delegates from Sanaag in 1991 at the Burco Shir told how illogic is have to two Somali governments in Africa in these difficult times. Some of those men were former diplomats and expereinced beraucrats. Finally, they even told them, " Let us declare we are the real Somali state and put up the blue flag. With the Mogadishu mess Puntland would have joined and the world would have recognized the Hargeisa government.
To rule Somalia you must have confedence and the vission. The men of SNM had a village mentality. Ruling over few pounds in the Somali sea was enough for the angry men of SNM.. Go and research, even A/raxman Tuur told them how illogic it was to declare session . Today players are the same villegers who opposed the logic.

37 minutes ago, AhmedGuled said:am in Berbera and I might return back to the U.K soon since the civil society in Somaliland is nonexistent.
You know Ahmed Guled,
You probably a young man, but I respect people like you because you went home for trying to build something, most of all I always liked the people of Bebera. I have seen Bernera sport teams come to Borama almost every year for community building. Of course Somalia was going down after 1985 and things went down the hell, but the rebels brought nothing but misery.
Somaliland was possible only because people M. I. Cigaal ctreated an institution and Rayaale built on that by fulfilling his wish of elections and democracy. Since the rebels came back ( Oodweyne AKA Baal Xoofta and Xaaji) things went bad. We need to get rid of the old guard so peace could prevail.
10 minutes ago, baala xoofto said:The SNM was the first armed group that actually brought all the clans in the North and the Agenda was "Lets all make Peace"
We held the Borama Shir in 1993 to get rid of SNM and elected a statesman like Cigaal by tracing era of the logic. Unfortunatly, there is no Cigaal in Somaliland today, the last statesman left is C/qaadir Jirde and he hails from the wring tribe. There is no Ina Maygaag Samatar, Sheikh Madar. Cabdi Waraabe or anyone else to right the ship.
The best chance is for Muuse Biixi to resign.

8 minutes ago, baala xoofto said:"Scorched Earth Policy" that the regime unveiled in 1985.
28 minutes ago, Samafal said:You have not answered my question was Siyad right to bomb Hargeisa and Burco to flash out what he considered a rebel and danger to the state
I am sick and tired of the children of evil rebels who destroyed our country compare the great state of Somalia which was notable in the continenet of Africa with these weak and corrupt despots who couldn't manage two or three town.
I am sick and tired of hearing every comentator from respected people like Farah Macalin to the other arm chair analysts quiping the same frase, " Ma waxii Siyaad Barre Idinku sameeyey ayaad Laascaanood ku sameynaysaa", Ma waxii shalay aad ka cabanayseen ayaad dadka ku sameyneysaan".
News flash for all: The military regime of Somalia was defending the Somali nation from the evil rebels armed by our historical enemy Mengistu Hailemarium who was the bloodest dictator of Africa killing a king, a provisional president and the leader of the Ethiopian Junta. He had a duty to flushout the rebels who sucidely stormed the second largest city of Somalia. By the way that war in Hargeisa city last only three weeks from late May to the late June 1988.
The real war that destroyed Hargeisa and Burco Took place later. Do you fools know Mohamed Ibrahim Cigaal may-- he rest in peace-- had killed more people from 1994--1996 during the Maryo Allol wars that destroyed Burco and displaced tens of thousands of people. He was asked why he was waging the war? and he said, " Maamulkii yaraa ee aanu Boorama ku sameynay ayaanu bedbaadinaynay". Here Cigaal was killing over 5,000 people to preserve a minor regime that was only ruling between Berbera, Hargeisa and Boorama.
If Jaale Siyaad and his government used scortched earth policy, there won't have been any uprising and everyone would have behaved like most Somalis under Ahmed Madoobe orMuuse Biixi.
Here in North America if a criminal or some deranged person takes hostage someone with a gun, the swat team and the power of police will descend on him. Have you heard about a name by David Coresh who took hostage a church in Waco, Texas? after he refused to give up tanks were sent.
The stupid Somali clans don't even understand what is at stake in terms of territorial soverignity and defending against rebels unleashed by Ethiopia.
If Laascaanood was part of Somaliland why there was no Somaliland presence from 1991-2007. That was 16 years. Since when these enclaves Somali tribes set up during the vacuum have legitimate borders?. We all know there was no Somali government since 1991, other the those who control few blocks of Mogadishu.If those from Hargeisa think their survival is dependent of holding the free people of Sool hostage they are going down in the rabit hole quickly.
Do you think bombing Laascaanood would make them love Somaliland?
Some of us will be forming the October party of the Kacaankii Barakeysnaa. I know the evil rebels controled the airwaves from Mogadishu, Garoowe and Hargeisa for 30 years, and we have to present the real history of the evil alphabet rebels.
Taariikh Cadawgii Dumiyey Qarankeenii waan soo bandhigaynaa.

Che,
what will be the move of the SSC now after this ceasefire?
Do they have to continue their convention and set up the Maamul or continue the war?
I think accepting the ceasefire and continuing the convention will serve them well. Somaliland couldn't disrupt their meetings anymore. I think they earned the right to decide.
-
Of course they are buying time, but those among SSC must create some kind of Maamul. So far they haven't even formed a provisional Maamul to deal with the current issue. They have done well in terms of support among Somalis and international community. They need command and control of their militia and a civilian leadership.
Unconfirmed reports say Somaliland negotiated with Puntland for the cease fire.
-
Unilateral cease fire from Somaliland is a good move. The next step should be withdrawal of troops from the city and surrounding area.
These kind of wars create hatred and unforeseen consequences. there are unscrupulous Youtubers who make money on the misery. Some have even targeted Borama, a city that welcomed everyone for thirty years with zero incident, yet they told their kin to move to Jigjiga. Don't they realize Jigjiga has the same residents as Borama or diverse .
-
The Americans should be mad, because Muuse and company are making the terrorist issue like a joke that could be thrown around.
If the siege of the city continues there must be candidates for war crimes.
Muuse Biixi,
M. Kahin
Saleebaan Gaal
Nuux Taani
Saleebaan Koore.
Muuse was probably looking some diplomatic missions to intervene and bring him, Puntland and Somalia to the table just like Tukaraq few years ago. No one called, and they all ignored. The guy is in short leash.
-
2 hours ago, baala xoofto said:This is a temporary base. The Army's aim is not to remain in Yube.
The stone structure does the job for now.
Did you see the Tukaraq base?
Waa oodii xoolaha lagu xeraynayey.
This one in Yube was the largest base in the east, yet not one single building, offices, sleeping quarters for soldiers. They can't even put wires to keep trespassing or even a wall to protect those inside from elements.
Another thing the war in Laascaanood thought me is if you could pay $100 dollars you could have militia. That is why I am planning to raise money and have my own militia. I want to recruit especially those from AWdal who are all transferred to the east since Muuse Juudaan took power. Why die in the east when you could liberate Awdal.
-
13 hours ago, baala xoofto said:Somaliland Army is closely coordinating plans to capture or kill the Terror cells with its International partners.
There is no army or even organized militia. Have you seen the so called bases (Saldhiga ciidanka) in Tukaraq and outside Laascaanood? They are Make shift shelters made of wood or animal shelters like trees covered with clothes. I haven't seen one single tent or building. Those who know say, these are mostly homeless soldiers who pass their days and evenings chewing Qat and collapsing at night in these shelters. Other than the uniform and technicals which every outlaw could have, I haven't seen a real army.
-
They know Awdal is probably the next region to explode.
No one In Hargeisa or Berbera is asking the local government employees to pledge support for the war, yet in Borama the governor is demanding cash donations and public support. Soon they might target the Somali residents of Borama from other regions by creating fear and blaming the locals.

Does Biixi realize that the only reason Somaliland ruled Sool was because of the division of the community and the backing of the local militia. Since the people are united for their cause and the militia had joined their people there is zero chance of holding to that region.
How far is he willing to go before war crime charges are tabled by the international courts. You can't force A Somali nomad who want to be free, let alone the most independent of all nomads, the Daraawiish of Sool who have a great history of resisting one of the great powers of the 20th century.
Ilaahay ha u naxariisto Jaale Siyaad. Jabhado cadawgii Mingestu soo hubeeyey ayuu dalka ka difaacayey isagoo ilaalinaya qarankii buuxay ee ummaddu wada hadhsanaysay. Bal waydiiya kuwana waxa ay difaacayaan ee ay hoobiyaha Laascaanood ugu garaacayaan.

My God, this lunatic Muuse ans Ina Kahin had zero logic at all. Common sense would dictate that they should let the elders and Garaads decide their fate and just sit outside town until things change. In the meantime send as much as peace delegation as possible to bridge the gab and keep the status quo.
But, one you get a blood thirsty warlords whose clock stopped in the late eighties and nineties expect disaster. Furthermore, who would believe this lying Ina Kaahin while everyone knows their ugly plans. They wanted to disrupt the the release of the communique of the Grand Shir , kill some of the Garaads and then claim to be chasing terrorists. Worst of all, they are calling for dialogue now after their defeat and disaster. They shell the city with artolatry after they have been chased out and call the victims terrorist? who would buy that fake news. They lost both the plot and the politics.
While some of the Somaliland soldiers are boasting many others were thrown to the front by force and became victims. THese soldiers and the defenders of Laascaanood shouldn't be dying because of this warlord in Hargeisa. The dead is 28 from Somaliland with 80 wounded. There are some victims from the Awdal region who couldn't escape. Why would anyone die for $100 dollars? Everyone from the west is deployed to East. We the diaspora have to find ways to rescue these soldiers and abandon this ugly war by Muuse Biixi.
Furthermore, why the fat man Deni is creating another military front in Nugaal? is he trying to aid the secessionists? I don't get these Puntland leaders who are evil and corrupt to core,

19 minutes ago, Xaaji Xunjuf said:Yes indeed Sanaag is only three distircts that’s the only truth there is
Unlike Sool, a huge chank of SAnaag is out of the Somaliland control. Badhan, Hadaaftimo and Dhahar are either free or under PUntland. Furthermore, the Sanaag Bari people are originally coastal with great tradition of trade and internal rule. LIke the Awdalites, their traditional leader( The Sultan) has long history of being independent. Even the the British exiled Sultan Ina Shire. Also, unlike the Garaad community, they are not fragmented. It will be much easier for them to join the Sool project.
Furthermore, if the Mogadishu government doesn't smell the coffee and lead a pro Somalia movement in the north, things could get worse.
The H...rt have the largest landmass in Somalia from Buuhoodle to Gaalkacayo, from center of the Indian ocean to the Gardafu in the Red Sea. There could be a new movement to considerate this vast land and reject the Mogadishu based government. HSM , beware of what you wish.

I missed this debate about Muuse Biixi doing what he does best : cry (Callacal), praise Reer Sool, and finally threaten with force.
THis is nothing but a bunker mentality. The Somaliland militia can't subdue or control the vast land of the Garaad community without their consent. The distance between Taleex and Laascaanood in over 200 km, the distance between Laaska and Boohoodle almost 150 km. This is huge. A fragmented militia can't control the SSC people who want to be free. It is the typical boasting of those who are no longer in control.
WE have seen before a separatist movement try to leave the mother country, but we haven't seen a unionist people being forced to leave by separatists. The IRA of the Irish tried close to a century, but eventually gave up.
Somaliland itself is in danger of disintegrating. Compared to other regions of the country, the clan hatred and mistrust is deep in Somaliland. Let alone wage a war to oppress the free people SSC, they might not even survive the next election if Biixi runs again.
The ugly speech Muuse made Monday was nothing but a bluff and desperation. He is dispatching people to Nairobi, Addis, Mogadishu and between to buy time and persuade others to intervene. HSM couldn't persuade the Garaads to come to MOgadishu and stop the SSC train, Omar Geele is now trying to involve IGAD, but both Kenya and Ethiopia refused to involve.
I know for a fact that Oodeyne and company like Cawil and Warancade, the later who by the way used to test food for former intelligence boss Saleebaan daffle are sitting Muus Biix's kitchen these days. I can tell you that they both live in outdated era. Sometimes a war could be the great equalizer, and a war in Sool will bring unforeseen changes in Somaliland. After this war nothing will be the same.
Reer Sool never agreed with the Somaliland project, never. If anyone tells you otherwise he is lying. In the 1999 referendum, after the formation of Puntland , Cigaal openly said, " don't take the ballot boxes to the Garaad community territory.
Muuse can't fire one single bullet in Sool, let alone a war. Take that to the ba

I think he is doing a good job. He burred Muuse Biixi to the dark pages of history. He blamed everything on Biixi. He will come back to Hargeisa and finish him off for good.His mission is more deadlier than the bullet, and his opposition party Waddani is probably coordinating with them.
The SSC not only defeated the Muuse Biixi, but indirectly helped the hapless opposition who were defeated both physically and politically few months ago.
