Here is what the English dictionary say about the word " Compromise" : "an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles" or a settlement of differences by mutual concessions. In Puntland there was a contentious election since C/laahi Dani initiated a province wide one person one vote election. The majority of the people had welcomed this universal suffrage which has been delayed for more than two decades. Yet, a very small group of politicians based in Garoowe refused this inclusive election. In fact, violent clashes had taken place between the government and the clan militia that objected the election. Each one of them had certain unmovable principles to object the opposite side. While it is difficult to oppose Dani as someone calling a wider public participation, his intensions were always suspicious. He had an opportunity to hold the elections early in his first year of his leadership, but decided to wage a campaign to replace Farmaajo and thrown the local elections to the dust bin. The Garoowe group had prepared for the usual selections of buying elders. At the same time, the opposition to Dano happen to be his most loyal cabinet members. Dani had more advantage including that the people of Puntland hate the Garoowe opposition as rich spoiled oligarchs who feel entitled. Their defeat was apparent, but since this project was nurtured through compromise and consensus, it was difficult for many leaders to give C/laahi Dani a black check especially after his neglect of the Puntland issues for higher power. More clashes in peaceful town also doesn't bode well for Puntland. Thus, both sides would get something from these constitutional moves. First, the idea of 66 elders selecting the leader was abandoned while preserving both the principle of direct democracy advocated by Dani and the select small caucuses preferred by the Garoowe oligarchs. The number of electors will be 66 as demanded by the insurgents in Garoowe, but these 66 will be elected with the banner of a political parties. Each region is assigned a fixed number of seats like before, but will be elected directly by the people. In turn these 66 members belonging to different parties will chose the president of Puntland. Everyone is satisfied. It is a great compromise. If this was Biixi with support of 90% of the people he would have destroyed his opposition. The mature Puntlanders decided to workout something with their opposition rather than vanquish them. The game will be played with the rules agreed upon and everyone will accept the outcome. In Hargeisa, the warlord turned president has refused every compromise. Since the day the political disagreements started in the summer of 2021 just after the Parliament and municipal election, he never moved an inch. The opposition asked him to hold the presidential election which was away just over a year, but refused delaying and disbanding election commissions. When the business community worked out a compromise that would hold both the Guurti and presidential elections together, he refused again. When the parliament passed in new law to lead to compromise he refused. It is either his way or the highway. For six years he never gave the opposition for one single inch. Sometimes he hides behind the old fart Saleebaan Gaal, the commission or the court. He forgot that this place had survived through a compromise. History had shown the Maryo Allol had never brought peace or compromise. All they know is the barrel. This time around they will get for what they wish. Tolow ma Djibouti buu u carari marka guriga Morgan loogu daato.

They even fought the British before Sayid Mohamed with huge loses. They fought the Ethiopians and there is no Habro history without them. Muuse and his ilk were always thieves who stole livestock during the British. Our Xaaji Hanjuf and company were our guests in Djibouti and we used to give the identity cards. We will start the whole thing from zero.

Dadka maxay u haystaan gaas dhagooleyaashani. They looted everything in a day light yet talking nonsense . They put a HJ election commission while the senile Saleebaan Gaal is holding the illegal guurti. Muuse holding the military chief and the money bag. Where you? to court? another Jeegaan is judging by the one man court.Where else you go? to the parliament? Ina Haashi another Jeegaan member who stole $40 million owns a quarter of the parliament and controls the parliament with the stolen public money. How all that possible: Dahabshiil. Rather than deposit the money to the bank from Nairobi or Brussels, they deposit the money first at Dahabshiil in Narobi since the Somaliland bank is illegal or non recognized bank, Dahabshiil is the place to deposit. Even Somali federal governmt during HSM earlier term did that. That is the only to explain the richest man of politics today. There is no hope but to destroy this illegal cartel and start from clean slate. In 1975, West Burco controlled and run the Somali intelligence from coast to coast. Most of the ambassadors were from them. A couple of enterprising and Mikevelian guys from Puntland and HJ told convinced them to join the anti Siyaad Jabhad. In eighties, Siyaad told them: Waar Habraha SNM dagaalka ma wadi karaan Garhajis la'aantiiye, dagaalka joojiya , wadanka maalgashada, wadada Hargeisa iyo Burco anynu isku xidhno. Waxay ergadii ugu jawaabeen , Siyaad Barre ayaanu dalka ka xoreynaynaa. Ninkii ergada u ahaa ayaa ku yidhi, Dalkaas aad sheegaysaan armaa bari la idinka xoreeyaa. Sidii baa dhacday oo just after 8 years dagaal baa lagu qaaday. There was even an agreement which claimed that "if we allow HY to lead , they might rule us for the next 100 years". THey are every where except Awdal. Now a hungry clan who dwelled just east of Burco without history of culture is looting everything with help of Hargeisa oligarchs who have been using the system for the last 20 years. This fool called Game is even saying they have money and military , but that will end soon. Enough is enough. This project had run its course. Even if elections are held they will rig it in a daylight. A freind whose wife was in Hargeisa told me that his 12 years old son had voted last election in Hargeisa for the ruling party. Even in Gabiley 10 years olds had voted. He was telling me I am claiming Lughaya, Wajaale an so on. He thinks everyone is just like his landlocked hungry guys from the east.75% of elected city council of Lughaya is ours including the mayor and our farms are in Wajaale and our buildings are in Downton wajaale for generations.. Jigjiga is ours and my own family farms are west of Gabiley. Those who are ruling today are the criminals of 1988, the instigators of 1992 civil war, the Maryo Alool wars of 1996/96. They fought Cigaal until he eliminated him, and Rayaale they tried everything, and finally they used Al-shbaab to assassinate him by blowing a bomb laden truck killing many of his staff. Folks, these group will only leave by a barrel of the gun .Furthermore, we want the looted money back.

Warya madax faluuq, get out of here. Don't try to comment issues beyond your Burco town. Water Maal are the victims of Galgaduud folks for the last 20 years. Why would someone bomb a battalion of the soldiers from Marka inside their Mogadishu garrison. This is a targeted attack. The commander of the Loswer Shabbele security Colonel Waafow was killed last year. They are been victimized. Do you think the fake Urur Samaale would safe them from the wrath of squatters? dream on.

Ustaad Oodweyne, we don't need a big war in Somaliland. We just want to dismantle the economic strangulation's these groups set up from Lawyacade to Wajaale and Berbera. The first order is Biixi to be defeated, and the system changed. If these guys are smart and capable as they claim , let them earn their living without monopoly.

They don't need to do much to dismantle the regime of Ina Biixi. They could send a message to the airlines landing to Hargeisa airport and close the whole thing. The Sand Dwellers are 2km from the airport. They could set up checkpoints at Cadaadley and prevent the trade from Bebera, takeover Sanaag and even shell Villa-Morgan. If they are serious. I can assure you if the GH starts from the east and center, we will start from the west .Gabiley aynu iskugu imaano.

He is more powerful than those from east Burco who are in the government. In fact, a freind who is from Hargeisa told me today that it was Ina Xaashi who forced Muuse Biixi to proceed with the party elections before the president. He threatened to vote with the opposition and elect the speaker. If the speaker comes from the opposition they could overturn the decisions of the commission and enact a new law. Furthermore, they could impeach Muuse Biixi. So, Ina Xaashi said he will vote with the opposition if he doesn't get his way. THey guy even owns a third of Awdal MPS. They only way he could have that power is because he could feed these hungry politicians sitting Hargeisa hotels. So, tell me where did he got the money to buy votes? because he got deep pockets. If elections of the party are held within few months, I have no doubt he will be among the three. The good news is GH will reject that manipulated vote. If fireworks start in east, we will join the fray.

Somaliland is the only place where thieves are honored. How a lowly chief of staff became the richest politician who bankrolled a quarter of the parliament. Even the load mouth Mohamed Abib has turned his phone last week with orders of Mohamuud Hashi. This Hashi fellow isn't even in the parliament and his party is in name only among the 13. Dahabshiil has to answer one day how he allowed millions stolen from the people are laundered in his bank. Yet, if Muuse and company think an 80 years old (Asaasaqay oo biyaha kululna kabada) loser would give hope and defeat the will of the SSC whose ship has sailed is just a pipe dream.

I agree with you. Xirsi Gaab haddii doorashada la galo oo Cirro dhaco isagaa xisbiga u hadhaya. Kulmiyana ama idinkaa horboodi ama number two. Dadkan baarlamaanka fadhiya 20 ka mid ah waxa maalgaliyey Mohamuud Xaashi including Mohamed Abiib. 7 years of Siilaanyo really made the difference.During the election of 2010 each diaspora member of east Burco paid $5000 to the campaign, and many of them got back their money somehow. Probably Dahabshiil made easy for the to loot and deposit without questions. Waxa la yidhi HJ waxa u taliya siyaasi, xataa boqor Buurmadow waa siyaasi, HY waxa u taliya oday dhaqan, HA waxa u taliya ganacsatada. That is west Burco are losing. Any way, tribal loyalties could change anytime. The east Burco are acting like tough right wing irredentist now, but in 2003 after they lost the election to Rayaale many of them wanted to abandon the ship and go to Mogadishu including the campaign manager of Siilaanyo , Mr. Sifir. When I met Faysal Waraabe few years ago he told me that they all decided to abandon the project but Ahmed Siilaanyo insisted and forced them. In Burco, they were using Somali Shillings, the Islamic courts passed through Burco on their way to Asmara, Eritrea. If they lost that election, they could have been a war.

One month after the parliamentary and municipal elections were concluded, Muuse Biixi suddenly said: there will be a new election next year 2022. He said a race for new political parties must be prepared. Everyone was shocked. The question was: how could you prepare another election within six months while we just concluded two elections? He and his cronies had argued that the three political parties will expire in December 2022, so we must prepare before that eventuality. What he didn't mention is his term expires before the parties. By rule he must either win the election by November 2022 or vacate the place for the winner. The most logical route was to hold the presidential elections and leave the next contest to the winners. THe Guurti illegally extended their term for five years and his for two years. The day light robbery was that the Guurti term had expired already. To confuse the people and drag his feet, he told the chairman of the election commission to sue the majority of the members who disagreed with him. Since NEC is independent they could debate and choose their own chairman, but Muuse said " the election commission is in quarrel (Golihii baa is haysta). This corrupt group of Kulmiye has used every trick in the book to not only postpone the presidential election and later claim the parties had expired. Where in the world would a party who have a sitting members in the parliament expire? His time was the one that expired. THere are clear reasons to delay the real elections and push the fake elections. If elections are held today or three or four months from today, Muuse and his group will lose, but if he pushes this fake election of 13 parties, he will manipulate the results and choose two out of three and make the third party WAddani weak. Not only that, they will take their time and gerrymander the clans in order to stop the opposition. He might even choose an east Burco candidate and weaken the current coalition. If he is allowed to delay the real election and hand pick his successor that will create a real conflict among the clans. He should not be allowed to have his cake and eat it. Biixi must pay for his blander, mess and everything else that is happening today including the Sool conflict. He should be forced to hold the presidential election, anything else is rewarding transgression. The election commission has no mandate to decide the date of the election or which election should be conducted. Also, their conduct throughout the year had shown that they are not real refries to adjudicate fairly but partisan functionaries of Kulmiye party. Rather than find the middle ground and bring the waring parties together, they have inflamed with their partisan decision. No opposition should take part in this elections. They must boycott this coming bogus election. For the opposition, it is now or never

Xaaji, You get a point here. The same failed politicians have been recycled here. Yet, I do believe that if C/rahman Ciro gets the power that will change a lot in Somaliland. You guys have been sucking dry every administration for the last 15 years. I know the west Burco boys are hungry and load, but they represent real change. Besides, it is about time the Calan Cas back their bags, they bring nothing but trouble since day one. The strange thing is we have never seen political parties running for nothing. There is no cup or price to win. Baarlamaan looma tartamayo, Madaxweyne looma Tartmayo. Xageed ku aragtay soo kala hadha. Wadani will be among the three, so does Kulmiye and then Hilaac of Ahmed Samatar. Now, since Biixi is out of the picture who they will be selling again? Ina Kaahin? a man with zero charisma, character or honor. If election is held today WAdani would win easily, but if they fragment people as they have planed anything could happen. Besides, there is no trust between us and Xaaji's people. They might be polite, but they are looters who are grapping everything from Wajaale to Djibouti. WE must stop them. Furthermore, with SSC gone, the next guy has no choice but to negotiate with the Bunker.

Reer Mudugu waxay dhahaan: Ninka ku dilay lama dilee ka soo diray baa la dilaa. This so called governor used to be tribal chief (Aaqilkii Dahir Rayaale). During Rayaale regime, he used to have a Majlis for Qat sessions in Hargeisa. I met him few years back here in Canada . He never worked a day and finally he returned home after his maternal cousin Cumar Geelle called him in Djibouti. There is no surprise here. Most mayors and governors in Awdal are either losers, criminals or illiterate. Ahmed Siilaanyo appointed a man convicted of the conspiracy to kill the late Italian nun and doctor Anneline in Borama. The only normal mayor was Cabdirahman Shide who built the first paved road. Now this Mafrish chief Caqil had been dispatched to whip the locals for the ruling party, but I believe he will create more uprising and conflict.

For almost a year, no one is in charge in Somaliland. The parliament is just in name only. They can't legislate, they can't make election laws or even interpret, amend or change what the courts send to them. The so called supreme court is a one man shaw appointed and fired by the man hiding in Villa Morgan. Muuse Biixi is hiding behind the election commission whose job is to register voters and count the ballots. THis is the craziest thing ever happened any where in the world. Usually, the government of the day manages the logistics of the election either with fixed dates or by the power of the parliament. If the ruling party fails to command the majority of the parliament, they are forced to call elections. Yet, in this fake government of Hargeisa, the president refuses to announce the day and what kind of election should take place, the one man court is scared to death this time around since he created the whole mess before; the parliament is composed of clans not political parties. God forbid if they were parties, the opposition who are outnumbered Kulmiye in ration of 3:1 could oust Muuse Biixi and legislate how the elections should be conducted and when. Now both Biixi and his one man court decided to hide behind the boys whose job is to count ballot. They have been told to decide when the elections must take place and which type of election should take place. THe elections commission is the real legislators now.The Guurti had disappeared except the senile Saleebaan Gaal . Last year they told everyone that the political parties have expired. Have you ever heard a party that have sitting members of parliament in the chambers talking about nothing burgers every week and month, yet their party is considered expired . Xisbiga haddii ay shahaadadii ka dhacday maxaa baarlamaan ku sheega dhex dhigay. Waar ileen tan oo kale 10 political parties had been given the certificate of being political parties early this year. They have been told to get ready for the contest. Yet when the heat of the opposition is felt by Biixi, they run to the one man court and asked him to decide which one is first. He is between rock and hard place. If he says 13 parties should run, the fireworks of the opposition is ready and this time Villa Morgan will be burned. If he said the three remaining parties should run the opposition and the wrong tribe wins. I don't know what will happen, but I predict Muuse escaping to Djibouti if he doesn't wise up and prepare to vacate Villa Morgan soon.

Warya Mr. Game, Ma beeshii weyneyd ee HAG ayaad ka soo heshay Hooley? Malaaqyadii, Iimaamadii iyo Suldanadii midna lama hayo. Sidoo kale Hooley waxa uu odayada HAG ka joogaa halka uu Daahir Calasow ka joogoo karaamada saxaafada. Waxaan weligay moodayey nimanka HJ niman mayal adag, hadase waxaan ogaaday in ay dad " desperate" ah yihiin.

If we start pointing fingers, I would start big businesses and certain people who got illegal money, especially in Jigjiga trying to replace the shanti Jiingado small businesses who dominate trade. During Cabdi Illey time downtown Jigjiga was burned to ground by the government and big buildings and better urban planning replaced the old town. These markets feed thousands of people.

I thought he wouldn't last a year since this thing became a family affair. HSM is learning from Djibouti and Hargeisa. NGO contracts and businesses are the domain of the family and Elmi was the wrong guy. A Dahabshil man has replaced him.

Guys, the main instigators are the Amhara. They are jumping from one alliance to the other to reach their goal. They allied themselves with the Oromo to depose the TPLF and crown Abiy Ahmed whom they celebrated like their long awaited king and set the stage for the war with TPLF. They did the same thing and with Mustafe Cagjar, they even proposed him as the next premier to use Somalis against Oromo. For Amhara , peace in Ethiopia is a danger for them. Who even says no to their agenda is their enemy. As Carafaat said, Somali/Cafar and Oromo should be natural alliance against the evil highlanders who will never submit with their leadership. 80% of the Ethiopian population is south of the Tigray/Amhara region.

Carafaat, please visit us in SOL often and share your ideas.

This is a genius idea and rarely we see anything out of the box or extraordinary in Somali politics. As the saying goes: They are constantly consistent in failing and doing the wrong thing. The whole country is burning from Gedo to Laascaanod. I don't like to criticizing a premier who doesn't have the power or the prestige to resolve issues, but Hamza is no longer able to fix any major issues. Yesterday, the Gedo people told him never to try and visit their towns or they will shoot down his plane. THey consider him as the errand boy of Ahmed Madoobe. He can't go to Puntland , Laascaanood or Baraawe. This is the government of one man: HSM. If C/risaq Khaliif is appointed premier he will be welcomed automatically throughout the land. The Gedo community would welcome him, so does other D block groups. He will have huge support within Puntland, Awdal, SSC, Hiiraan and other places. It will send a message of unity toward the people of Somaliland. Since Biixi is out of the door soon, prime minister C/risaaq could initiate his connections in Hargeisa and speed up the unity file. History had shown for the last few decades that those from SSC and Awdal are the most capable Somalis within the federal government. Jamaal and DR. Bayle are fine examples. I am cheering for C/risaq Khaliif.

A very small group of Aaran Jaan which is even a smaller splinter group of the Garoowe clan want to force their way by way of anarchy. These are the people who got rich for the last 20 years. Why would anyone would die and kill people to manage few towns or a province? there are probably few reasons. The first one is the that quagmire in Mogadishu has resulted the rise of secessions, fake autonym and disregards of the national government. Everywhere around the world people form and establish the national order, charter and government first, then debate how to manage local regions. I live in a very rich province of Alberta, and a nice town, but all that was made possible by the country of Canada. IT is the national idea and the concept of Canada that made us different from America or Europe. I don't ever vote for municipal or city elections. I pay my property taxes and expect them to clean the street, build roads and collect the garbage. My health care, passport, national well being or pensions doesn't depend to the city or even the province. The second part is that these people got rich of the anarchy and the failure of the national government. More than 60% of the money looted from the foreign aid or from the the anarchy are based in Mogadishu. The remaining 40% is divided between Hargeisa, Garoowe, Nairobi, UAE and other places. Aaran Jaan is the main oligarchs in PUntland who either overthrow or crown the so called kings who serve them. IT was the main reason Badbaado Qaran was organized to derail one man one vote in Somalia in 2022. Wise people said long ago that these regional arrangements could function for temporarily until a national government takes the stage, otherwise these clan compromises for the power couldn't go for ever. If C/laahi Dani was serious about democracy, he could have declared himself a referee for the next contest and disqualify himself for the greater good. He got some public support due to his open support of Laascaanood and counter weight for the destructive moves of HSM, that doesn't mean he gets a blank cheque. He should have created a common ground for some if the issues. THere is no hope for Somalia until we get rid of HSM, C/laahi Dani, Muuse Biixi, Ahmed Madoobe and I. O Geelle. We need a new generation of leaders. If so called politicians are willing to kill people to deny elections in regional government, what do you expect from those vying power at the federal government? In these part of the world they say the current leader is always worse than his predecessor. From Hargeisa to Garoowe, Mogadishu and Kismaayo, each one of them had killed more people than those who died under the national government of 20 years. THey arrested more people including women than the military government has done for 20 years, yet these former evil rebels talk about dictatorship and fake democracy.

This all fake regional governments are in name only. Jubbaland is only KIsmaayo, Galmudug leadership is based in MOgadishu and nothing is going on in Dhuusamareeb..South West is Baidoa, they can't visit Afgooye or Qoryooley, Baraawe and Marka area is occupied by others. Hir-Shabeelleis just Hiiraan and Jowhar. The concept of Hir-shabeele was a bad idea from start. How in the world you create state by saying Reer Hebel will be president and the other clan will have the capital. How about when certain clan gets both the presidency and the capital. Furthermore, Jowhar is just 60 miles from Mogadishu. How could you put two capitals separated just by 60 miles?. The logical capital should be Buuleburte, Jalaqsi or even Caliyaale as the coastal capital in the Indian Ocean. At the end the most logical thing is the original 18 provinces. Everything the evil rebels did for the last 30 years had produced nothing but disaster. I support the people of Hiiraan to be in charge of their affaires. Yet, if they accept the Hir-Shabeele Maamul, then they should obey the orders of the leader. You can't have both ways. The idea of Al-shbaab paying milliones to the leader of Hir-shabeele is ludicrous..It is probably an issue of power and ego. The war on Al-shbaab had sidelined Cali Guudlaawe and had put the limelight o Cali Jeyte as the real leader and that is probably the main reason.

Tell that to the eco Habro chamber. Awdal is the second contributor to the treasury. Everyone that crosses from Djibouti pays money, every truck that goes to Borama is taxed more than double. The small meagre of Lughaya imports by tiny boats are taxed double than Berbera. Awdal is blockaded since day one. Fools like you are happy we don't have any export or import companies. The whole import economy is closed for monopoly by four or five guys. This is serious, in Puntland, they have thousands of business people importing and trading, there is no monopoly. One might control the politics in Garoowe, but they don't monopolize the economy or blockade certain clans. We have the largest border with Ethiopia, yet there is no trade or point of entry from Awdal to Ethiopia. Everything hoes only to Wajaale. Don't start with me about business or wealth. We got an open jail Borama, the only activities are the tens of thousands of Soomalis who came to reside Borama. The economic blockade alone should force people to take up arms. The Loyacado head tax should create a guerrilla movement anywhere else but AWdal. I agree with you that the Awdalites have developed a cattle mentality based on false peace and an education that could not lift them out of poverty. Jaamiciga Bajaajta wada waad maqashay. No factory, no business, no trade, a jail open from the sky. This place could be Switzerland if we get rid of the greedy Habro. Just shut up. Even 90% of the public servants from Lowyacado to Borama are from Burco and Hargeisa. You are the most tribal bunch in Somalia. Go find one single Awdalite in Burco or Berbera who has business. The only lady from Awdal who had a contract business from DP in Berbera was kicked out by the mayor himself and replaced with his clan. You have no business of building a system. You have failed. I have nothing in common. I remember that way back in 1995, an Awdalite from Jigjiga was asked by another Somali from Puntland: Waar Somaliland ta yaa dega horta? WAxa uu ku Jawaabay: Soomaali iyo waxooga Besha Iss...q. That was way back before Goojacade.

Che, I didn't listen the second clip in my first comment. I welcome his comments about Awdal. Waxa uu yidhi , " In badan baa la islahaa miyir qab ayey ku soo noqon" People were patient that one day stable Somalia will come back and everyone will became sane again, but the Habro thought they had their cakes and wanted to eat. There is no more centralized system in the world than what exist in Hargeisa today. You can't even select your mayor without Hargeisa or collect any Shilling for your own development. Waxii dhulka lacag taalay from Loyacado ilaa Borama sucked like vacuum with zero return.

He is the natural leader of SSC. QAybe, Cali Khaliif, Xaabsade, Fagadhe, C/risaaq Khaliif, the real leaders of the Garaad community were always based in Hargeisa traditionally.. In day one, I said the politics of the speaker is more deadlier than the bullets. The international community probably had listened his advice and recommendations. Some in Hargeisa are calling him Al-shabaab.

We are working on it. There will be big news in the fall. We are trying to unite all the groups in one umbrellas. We will be forming SSC style grand council responsible for all political issues with a military wing. Will try to negotiate peaceful exit, but as expected the Biixi will rely on force. The GX have already realized there is no election. Even if there is one, it wlll rigged for the ruling Kulmiye. Nin walba ceesaantiisa cel ha geysto. The fake project is in death bed.
