The zone five media officer OO will tell you guys what is going on in Ethiopia. The latest news is the TPLF has miscalculated the vote. They backed the Ahmara candidate Demeke Mekonnen, but just before the start of the vote he withdrew his candidacy. AFter that the Tigray were confused and decided to push the chairman of TPLF to run. After that , the Tigray gave their vote to the candidate of the SPDM Mr. Shifarow Shigute who got 58. The tigray strongman got only two votes. Today, he said, " I was forced by the some people for the last minute". Other TPLF members said that they were cheated and ganged up by the Oromo and Amhara. The Amhara and the Oromo made alliances and voted their 90 total votes to Abiye .also got another 18 vote from the Southern people democratic party. Mr. Abiy Ahmed got zero votes from the TPLF. That means , I Galbeedi was probably wrong when I stated that Mr. Abiy is propped by the TPLF, but my analysis that he is more Ahmara culturally seems to be true. As we speak the TPLF is trying to whip the parliament but the majority of the parliament is Oromo and Amhara. By the way, there were some celebrations in Jijiga, although we do not know who is celebrating., whether it is Illey camp or the silent opposition.

ISIS is done. Finished in Syria. Macron should mind his own business and stay in his own neighborhood. Turkey is serious to clear the border. Erdogan already warned America to tell the YPG terrorists to leave Manbij or face the Turkish Army. I can assure you Turkey will be crossing the border as soon as they get these news. Probably tonight.

The worst of all , if they go down, no one will be helping them or shedding tears for their demise.

OO, you get it this time. They thought by buying Trump family they could get blank cheque from everything. America is broke, and the best cash is in the pockets of this fat gulf boys and everyone is cashing. Maakhiri, we need to hire good lawyers and bring them to the international court. We could demand 20 billion for their destruction of a whole nation. We need to come up with great formula to cash in. We should arrest and collect the confession of some of the Al-shabaab guys and take the tape to court. In 2016, when this case came out , the Saudis threaten to withdraw their American investment totaling $75 billion or more. This corrupt and puppets for life Arabs could have withdrawn their assets as much as they could, cut their losses and leave America. Rather than spend $400 billion for useless weapons to kill other Arabs, they could have invested in their countries and the region. This week , the BIn Salmaan kid confessed that the WAhabi movement were created by western intelligence to fight against the Soviet Union in the eighties. THe So called MUslim brotherhood never fired a bullet in 90 years in Egypt. THeir slogan was, "the people and their idea is more powerful than the bullet" Then came the Wahabi who is both ruthless and merciless. Who knows, they could pay a billion dollars for every American who died in the world trade center which could hit $300 billion. Trump even inadvertently sent a message to those who wanted to cash against the Saudis. In his address in the white house at the reception of the Bin Salmaan Kid, Trump said, " We are rebuilding our army and we are spending $700 billion dollars" , he looked the kid and said, " that is probably peanuts for you guys". Other than the Ruthless Saddam Husein, and Jamal Naser, these Arabs did not produce a leader for the last hundred years. EVeryone agrees, that the gulf people became the worst people on earth.

Well, we can definitely deal with this guy. He understands the whole region. He understands the gulf players and their threat to both somalia unity and Ethiopian stability. He calls both Puntland and Somaliland economic behaviour toward the gulf as separatist. We shall see how he deals with the power brokers.

We will stay MOgadishu and clean the house. Suldaanka, what I mean is this so called mandate must end. I my book it is the end of the occupation. Nations fall, but rise from disaster on their ability and their leadership , and with help from others. Four to five billion is spent every few years and nothing to show for it. According to some reports the UN spens $55 billion is Somalia since 1991. We want to see three things. 1-The end of occupation by the UN, Amisom and others. 2-Somali national currency. Dr, Bayle promised this to happen in March and no sight. 3-Lifting of the arms embargo. Unless these objectives are reached , the great game of subduing Somalia will continue.

100% false. We know who provides weapons with Al-shbaab. It is Ethiopia. Eritrea can not pass the international navy that controlled the Somali sea. They do not have any border access to the Somali territory. It is a fictional scheme to divert the attention. By the way the Eritrean struggle were always led and fought mostly by the eritrean Muslims. Until his suspicious death in Egypt Osman Saleh Sabbe was the most prominent leader who advocated and fought for independence. If you look ethiopian slogans against Eritrea during the King and the rule of Mengistu Hailemariam, they used to say, " We will not give Eritrea to the Arabs". More than 50% of the population is Muslim. From Assab, Massawa, and coastal area is dominated by Afar, in the north and west bordering Sudan are different tribes that are different from the Tigre highlanders bordering Ethiopia. According to separatist kids , Yes, Ethiopia is always united and could keep it's identity of different ethnic groups despite the tens of thousands who are killed by Mengistu or the TPLF, but the Somalis who are 100% the same, must be dismembers. Inkaari kugu dhacday. I have seen in the news Kurds in cooperation with the european racists and and right wing nuts firebombing Mosques in Germany and Holand. I am afraid that some these dranged kids might do so many things to learn from the Kurds including crying to keep Ethiopia oppressing others. "Midnimada Ethiopia waa Muqadas, ta Soomaaliduna Ha duntu" warkaagu waakaa.

His Mother is Amhara/Tigray, married to Tigray woman; his first language is Amharic, second language Tigrinya, and Oromo his third language. His is protestant with deep Amhara cultural ties. The fear of the TPLF of Amhara ethnic group is deep. The Amhara have been ruling for long time and the Tigray knows that they have to give way to the Ahmara elite sooner or later. Despite their differences both of them fear the power of the Oromo, Somali, Afar, Sidamo, Gambela and others. The winners are both Amhara and Tigray. The Amhara had gotten a man who is Amhra both culturally and linguistically. They believe by dethroning the Tigray , they might rise up again in the future. The Tigray have brought a man raised and groomed by them. He might call himself Oromo, yet he is married to their daughter and with less than ten years in the army he was promoted colonel, faster than anyone in the history of Ethiopia. They later put him in charge of security and communications. They got an Oromo clone who will carry the water for them. The losers. The Oromo deceived by their activists took their foot from the gas and decided to wait when they got a false signal from the Tigray by nominating a genuine Oromo. After they quited, an emergency decree came and decimated their ranks by shooting and arresting. Now, they got a false prophet who is more Amhara than Mengistu. The Somalis, occupied and oppressed had no say about the election. During the selection, three man Abiy Ahmed, Shiferaw Shigute, and the TPLF strong man Debretsion were the the candidates. The job of Illey is to keep these people oppressed and without voice. The Amhara and Oromia kilil can speak out and demonstrate, but the Somalis must be kept in line. The so called Southern communities is a false region that oppresses the real owners who are Sidamo and others. A small group of Amhra among them Hailemariam Desalegn , Shifrew and others dominate the politics of the region. Finally, the TPLF had bought some time , but the new stooge should be pressured to call an election as soon as possible so the real reform and change desired by the oppressed Somalis, Oromo, Afar and others could be achieved. Haddii kale waa jug meeshaada joog.

It is the Ahmara and the Tigray who are celebrating not the Oromo.

If I didn't write that headline, the Somali and even some western media would have written a false headline saying, " The first Muslim prime minister of Ethiopia" Welcome to the Tigray stooge and imposter to prolong the TPLF rule.

I don't want to read and I am not interested . March 31, 2019 must be the last day for this mission. In my book this is the end of the trusteeship of Somalia. Then and only then would Somalis manage their affairs. Real leaders will either build their capacity to make their nation or will crumble.

Maakhri1, He has a full time job to talk to us. Meles and TPLf created a powder keg that could explode any time. They had an opportunity to build multi cultural democracy but wasted everything

OO, since America politics these days revolves around the religious right and the southern Redneck, Abiy will fit well. Last week I thought Debeke Makonen the deputy premier who is Amhara Muslim would get the job, but the Oromo objected forcefully. We will see how this guy organizes the Tigray dominated intelligence and army. One thing is for sure, if fair elections are done , the power of domination will disappear. Let us see the cabinet and the Kilil politics.

OO, A Somali? thanks for giving us some hope. Who would want a puppet Somali killing and oppressing for the TIgray.? Anyway, I don't mind Mr. Abiy Ahmed , because, at least I know where he is coming from. The problem about all the Oromo on the forefront of leadership is you do not know what they believe. They are neither Muslim or Christian. Most of them are former Amhara becoming now Oromo to get the power. Way back in America, I used to work with large number of Ethiopians. The Amhara Christians were quiet and extremely polite, the Amhara Muslims were great and 100% of them were praying five times, but the Oromo guys were neither Christian, Muslim nor even atheists. They were nationalists, but with no foundations. The Oromo I am supporting are the Hararghe Oromo who are our neighbors, and unless they are given the power everything else is a Tigray puppet to buy sometime. By the way, Mr. OO, I found out where you are based or who is employed you. You are not Tigray but a media liaison helping the Somali Killil and building the TPLF image among Somalis.

One small Somali brigade could chase the Kenyan to Mombasa. They used to throw their guns when they see a Somali soldier. Ah, waakaa Gabre igu diganaya maanta.

Stop interpreting the national goals of our country. Kenya and Ethiopia has no business to deal with the Somali locals whether they are GEdo, Puntland or Hargeisa. THey never even tried to keep the border in the height of Al-shabaab in 2008-09. They have been given green light by other powers, but, I can assure the Kenyans will be expelled as soon as we put our house in order. Furthermore, we will take a book from your game and talk to the Sidamo people you are oppressing in the name of Southern communities, and other. We will have a say how the Gurage are threatened let alone Somalis. Do not tell us Kenya is doing for us. We are coming so be worry my friend.

Gooni arrintu way kaa horeysay. Nin qurbajoog ah ayaa Sheekadii reerkoodu ku haasaawi jireen ayuu tariikh ka dhigay oo buug qoray. Waxa uu ciwaan u dhigay, " Sayidku ma sheekh buu ahaa" wax kasta oo uu qalad galay ama ilduufay Sayidku ayaa lagu soo ururiyey. Waxase uu kala garan waayey Sayidka iyo Hablaha Hargeisa. Hablahani waxay ka soo jeedaan dadkii hadalka ingriisku uga hadhay. The jeegaan as usual never fires their own stooges despite the mounting pressure from the honourable women of Hargeisa. He got caught of his garbage books masquerading as history and should have been fired weeks ago. Bal idinku dhegeysta Macalin Bedel iyo luuqada wanaagsan ee uu ku hadlayo. Waa Ragaas ragga Soomalidu rabto in ay la midowda, ma ahan " Muuse Abaar" iyo kuwa naxliga iyo nacabyku buuxiyey.

Some of us knew that Jubbaland was a Kenyan project. They can claim as federal region as much as they want, but we knew it is not a Somali project. When the Kenyans leave, so does the warlord they installed as leader and his militia. He was a warlord, he was Al-shabaab, he was an Ethiopian spy and more, yet the tribal chuvanists of the "D" block accepted him and elerated him as a legitimate leader. I do not care which tribe you are but the Ahmed Madoobe community should never be allowed to lead a fifth column of Kenyan government backed by their cousins in Kenya. A real Somali with any knowledge of the geopolitics of the region knows that the natural group who are patriots and could defend the interest of the nation against the Kenyans should be the Gedo community. A leader from Gedo region should be the leader of Jubbaland or we might lose the most fertile and rich countryside of Somalia.

Stop recycling old news. The Usual "Oromo became greedy, and now got nothing"is old news. We did not ask you about the grain. The real news: Nine members of the opposition arrested. They were celebrating their earlier freedom when arrested. Abdi Illey arrest dozens of elders and otherin Jigjiga for slogans thrown in the city. EPRDF deadlocked for the second week, Ethiopian foreign partners are worried.

OO says, " He has opened business for Killil" That is not true. Hundreds of businesses had left Jijiga for the last two years. I was just talking to yesterday a guy who spent 150,000 for equipment to set up five star restaurant and after six months the landlord and the local enforcers forced him to abandon and take his equipment i the middle of the night. No one is going there today. The so called oil is long way to go, besides, we can not allow the Tigray to make money from occupied territory. We will get the oil when you leave the land. We should never allow to enrich the TPLF dictatorship. Also, we know that the locals will not see one penny of the money. Both the ONlf and Oromo should never allow that oil to to be stolen. Period.

It is bad move by the American consulate. They can not humiliate a former Somali president like that. Farmaajo should tell the Americans that they can not humiliate Somalia like that or he is another American lab dog.

OO, I am nor in a rush. The Ethiopian collapse will come. and I am willing to wait. I hope my people will be in power in Somalia when that collapse comes. The Oromo wave will come for good or bad. Somali president is four years and everyone knows this president will finish his term regardless of the Mogadishu games. Kenya is democratic and stable, Uganda 's dictatorship is for life, Djibouti will be fine. Sudan is stable . The only place where both regime change and regime collapse is expected is Ethiopia, so let us discuss the best and worst scenarios of the old empire.

Tilamook, You asked OO about options and he goes to his usual Sudan, Egypt and UAE. Non of the railways and bridges in Yemen is even in the pipes. War is raging in Yemen and and who knows what would happen in the middle east. others asked him about the Tigray options in Ethiopia and he talks about Somali issue that he does not anything. He thinks meddling and division among Somalis will buy him time. What he doesn't get is people do not like those who pretend to be your brothers or friends. THere are nations who are rivals, with hostile history yet living side by side while each one is watching his back. Turkey and Greece had over million casualty in the first world war yet, they are neighbors today while both are NATO members. No Greece will dare to interfere with Turkey or vice versa. The greeks hate the Turks but thy accept and can not do anything about Turkey. We do not like those that we have historical rivalry and bad history to interfere and advice our interest. We are not that stupid. We are neighbors and we accept co-existence and peace, just like the Turks accept the Greeks. As we speak there is zero trade between us and the borders are closed. Only a fool or a simple minded separatist, a tribal chauvinist who is looking for power or a criminals will accommodate Ethiopia or the take advice and help from Ethiopia. Do not waste your time , we are nomads who are born and will always e free from tyranny unlike the Ethiopians who are born to enslave one another. If you want to discuss something , tell how Ethiopia could survive another decade . Tell us how you intend to keep the status quo.

OO says, "They are not even there yet". Well , it has been months . When are they going to be there?. The four tribes that are deliberating could vote on the majority vote if they were democratic. We know the TPLF, Southern People are allies and they could get some vote from the Amhra, yet the issue is not about vote. It is about convincing the Tigray to give power and to Oromo. The Muslims: Somalis, Afar and western Oromo are powerless.
