Is that all you got. Being a majority of certain Somali place doesn't improve life for ordinary citizens. I want rule of law not my uncle is in charge. remember one of my close uncle was in charge of Somaliland for more than 8 years and nothing has improved for his own village. I do not like Siilaanyo because he is tired, sick and old age. It is not personal. In fact Siilaanyo was always a capable man who could do things. He was never accused of corruption during the Somali government and the SNM time. The main issue is he has health issues which doesn't allow to be alert or safeguard the public purse. These gives unelected family cronies unqualified access. This exactly what happen Somalia in nineteen eighties. In hargeisa, just like Siyaad barre, we have a " Morgan" the son in law of Siilaanyo, arresting newspaper editors and journalists., just because they wrote about his un elected access and abuse. Did you see members of parliament being bought in Mogadishu?, well it is happening in Hargeisa. An entire members of former Udub party from Awdal were bought by cash to join Kulmiye party. So please, The new "Reer Siyaad" Gaahgaabso yaan gaadh lagaa qabane". people are not stupid. We see a cabinet chief, a mere minister being welcomed at the airport like a president. I see A Muuse Suudi ( Muuse Biixi), an unelectable gangster bulling people and trying to be leader by corruption and collusion. La isma gaadhin, soon we will write all the misdeeds of Siilanyo, Geele, Qoslaaye and the rest.

Ciidansuldaan, I don't mind the Americans, they better than the French., but the issue is this island is for sale. The Japanese want to lease a base, so do the Chinese, the Germans, Spain and others. All the money is pocketed by Geele. No conditions no rules, just rent to everybody.

Somaliarising, moving the capital is huge. It is nore important than Prime minister or president. It is a big move. To make Hargeisa the foundation of the vnew Somalia is great. The truth is southern politicians will not allow to happen. I think Xaaj and others will not be felixible at this junctu of Somali debate. ' midho guntigaaga kujira kuwa geed saaran looma dadiyo". You should never nogotiate uoy of weakness. This is the same issue , Somali government is doing with Kenya, Ethiopia and vothger. The truth is Somaliland haven't been challenged enough so far. they never faced a leader who put his house in order, organized the south and then came to the table. As long as there are no big vission leaders in the south , the status quo will remain.

The colonials who came to the shores of Somalia at the end of nineteenth century described the Somali people different ways. I am not going to indulge the outright racist or the small minded colonial officer or writer making a judgement, but there are certain descriptions that seem to fit the Somali behavior. The most eminent English literature writer and historian among Somalis, Prof. Sad Samatar, described few adjectives that colonial writers coined on Somalis, mostly inconsistencies and independence. I also added some of my own descriptions and narrations as usual. 1- They are constantly consistent ( Waligood wax ma daaimaa). Ku ogow in aysan wax Daayimin. This one mainly pertains about appointments and tasks that need time and space. Professional developers had concluded that to perform a Job (Shaqo), there must be a place to do the job and there must be defined time to be finished. Otherwise it could became talk and more talk or the Somali way of " Faanoole fari kama qodna". Since 2006, the day C/laahi Yusuf government entered Mogadishu and the two governments that followed, everyone is talking about the formation of Somali National Army. If you put aside all the political talk and flying around the globe by the leaders, the main issue is " ceelkii yaa qoday xoolihiina yaa Waraabiyey". there is a Somali saying " Ninkii dhalaalayaba, cidbaa Dhoobada Ugu jirta". Well , we all want to shine, without any body dirting his clothes. Change, can only come through painstaking work, patience and hard work. The treasury must be guarded, the salary must reach the soldiers and all the leg work must be taken in a dangerous environment. Extraordinary times need extraordinary men and women who are willing to do things differently. You want to contribute to the well being of the Somali stalk,?, keep your promises. In my own town here in the Diaspora one of the "parasitic unproductive", communities were organizing a Somali week festival some six years ago. They advertised in fliers about their incoming activities, which included children's "jungle Jim's, soccer tournaments, barbecue and food, and other indoor performances. Verbally, they asked us to help them organize physically some of the jobs. the Fliers said , the festival will start from 10am to 7pm. Me and my buddy went there at 10am to help. No one was there. THe first one among the principal organizers showed up just before 11am. None of them brought anything. The barbecue grill oven was brought around noon and it did not work. They have to find another one. we were lucky enough to set up things around 2:00pm. These are the people who are paid to conduct these matters. Rather than start Six in the morning and get ready for the big day, they just took their time. Imagine some of these types of individuals taking charge back home, or , if the man who has food on the table, roof in his head and have comfortable live here in north America, is not doing his duties toward his communities, what you expect from the soldier who is not paid his salary. 2- They are Republicans , who are fiercely and independent. They say the Americans are the most freedom loving and independent people. I will add that we Somalis are known throughout the ages by two main characters just like the Americans and even more, " We are people of faith and freedom" ( Xoriyad iyo Iimaan). These two characters are our foundation. " Dalka malihid anigaa ku idhi Dooroolaha e. A Somali poet by the name of Mohamed Nuur Laangadhe( Ahn), was asked by the British in 1945, in Hargeisa, to make a poem describing the and praising the victories achieved by the British in the second world war. He was given some money and taken to the Radio. Mr. Laangadhe, did not know the ideologies of the combatants, the Holocaust committed by the Nazis or the battle between totalitarian and democracy. For him it was a battle among feuding european powers. His poem became one of fiercely independent Somali way of life, " Maxaa iiga gidiisha". I do not care. gidhligaanka gariiriyo Garnayl loola tagaynin Iglan baa gubanaysa Maxaa iiga gidhiisha Gudaha ceelka hargeysa Weligay gees uma dhaafin Bal maxaa laba gaal oo abtirsiimo gudboon Midkood aan u gumayn Midna guusha u siin Maxaa iiga gidhiisha Gudaha ceelka hargeysa Waligay gees uma dhaafin Inta aan wax gasiintiyo Intaan gaajo ku seexday Hadii aan isu geeyo Mala waa isku gow e Mar haddaan ka gabyay oon go'aygiina ka qaatay Maxaa iiga gidhiisha After that they arrested him " The great composer (ahn) C/qaadir Xirsi Yam Yam, said it best in the heydays of Somali Republic. Waqtiyada socdaalka ah Ayaamaha silsidda ah Xilliyada bal suuree Soojire haddaad tahay Sadarrada dib ugu noqo SOOMAALI WAA KUMA?

One of the first colonial writers and officers to pass east Africa was exploring the land with some Kenyan Swahili natives. Suddenly a caravan appeared from the distance. As they got closer, the officer noticed that these men were different from the kikuyo and others in their clothing and physical features. He enquired , Who are these guys?. One of his swahili men said " They are Somalis, they up to no good, each one of them is his own chief". They have no leader. A leaderless society is doomed. When the British Empire was ruling around the globe, the foundation of their success was the rule of law and the undisputed supremacy of the King Or Queen. Things were done for King and Country. Wherever these British has settled, they are well known to the supremacy of the law and leadership. A friend of mine, few years ago, traveled from Dallas, Texas to visit Mexico. While he was speeding to the border to beat the rush hour , he was stopped by a Texas trooper. The usual, north American standard questions were asked, like : can I see your driving licence, insurance and registration?, He gave them all, and was given a speeding ticket. Have a nice trip. He proceeded and crossed the border to Mexico. . While inside Mexico, he was stopped by some of their local police without speeding or doing any traffic infraction. He gave them all the necessary documents and they went inside their car. He waited for twenty minute which then turned to forty five minutes. When he asked what takes so long?, they told him amigo stay in your car. after waiting more than an hour, some african American passers by asked him what is going on?. He told them his ordeal. They told him, give them one hundred dollars, and soon you will be in your journey. He did, as they said , he proceeded to his journey. . Well, welcome to the over two hundred year old Republic of Mexico. It is a latin country. The rule of law can't take hold even after two century of existence , just like most Somali territories, especially in Mogadishu. We did not keep or modernized d our traditional leadership and hierarchy, nor we fully implemented the western system of modern leadership. If a person of great stature visits a city, the leadership of the community will be led by the Mayor, the business community, religious leaders, civic organizations and those who achieved success in their field. There are no tribal chiefs or other useless characters. Sometimes due to cultural tradition, an old man who have done nothing in life, may take the microphone because he is an elder. Here in North America, there are no legitimate leaders among any community. Just like the warlords back home, they keep the community hostage. Non of them, I mean not one single of them was elected by their communities, yet they claim to represent the diaspora communities. We do not have leaders. Some even suggest that one of the biggest obstacles of rule of law in Mogadishu is the people their left the traditional Suldaan and Mallq leadership, at the same time did not reach the modern western tradition of civic leadership which was destroyed by the military dictatorship. 4- The French said " they will never have a hero". Since the French was among those who colonized the Somali people, they had their own research in the Somali subject both during the colonial times and after the establishment of the Republic. Just last week , a fellow Dittore was arguing about the name the French coined to Djibouti. After the uprising of 1967, De Gaulle, decided to change the name "French Somaliland, and changed to " the territory of Afar and Issa", in order to take away the Somali character, promote certain tribes in order to defeat the Somali nationalism. The French said " since the tribal identity is the most important among them, they will not have a National hero". In their research, they said " The hero have to come from certain tribe", that alone will bring the condemnation of the other ones. Do you remember the "siira of the Prophet " in Makkah, when one of the tribes objected Prophet Mohamed (scw), on the basis of the tribe. They said we were equal in terms of power and rivalry, and now they saying a prophet was raised among them , no way. According to Dr. Omar Raabe, the French have done other secret researches in the seventies in Africa. In 1980, they said, by the year 2000, the Somali Republic will either join the middle income countries who are rinsing, or it will disappear into anarchy. The Great Darwiish. they are up to noo The Daraawiish movement was one of the oldest independent movement in the continent. The British, sent sixteen expeditions to defeat the movement. None of them succeeded. Britain, finally sent a commission to figure out the problem. The leader asked the questions: how many expeditions fought against Sayid Mohamed?, they replies sixteen, Then what makes this one different,?, They were all quite. Then he suggested that " ( Talada soomaalida waa in wax laga Siiyaa"), Somalis must be consulted. In order to save men and material, the British brought one of their new fighter planes in a ship and assembled it in Aden, Yemen. When all the logistics and the men were prepared, they asked the Somali elder what is next. He said let us move without notice. after a while they reached an empty lanscape. The british man said , we have been traveling and these place seems to empty. The Somali man said: " Ingriisoow Kanoonigaaga rakibo" Hey Mr. brit set up your cannon. He vsaid I do not see anything. " Boholahan ayey ku jiraane siidaa Kanooniga. The British then followed the Somali man and fired his cannon. after few minutes , the Daewiish came out of their dugouts. (Hadaba boobahaaga la gaadh, said the Somali man),, Now use your machine gun. After the Daraawiish retreated to their castles, the fighter plane came and bombed. One of Sayid Muhammad's companion said: Coomaadi duulayey Cadan ka keeneene, Cirkii baa is qabsaday, cararaqdoodiiye Aduguba aqlaad leedahee carrar maxaa dhaama. With help of Somali mind the great Darwiish movement was defeated after more than twenty years of struggle. Among us, he is the icon of Somali nationalism of the last century, followed by many others from the corners of the land. From Sheekh Hassan Barsame in Marka, Sheekh Bashiir in Burco and ahmed Gurey in Zaylac. I hope we can all agree on the achievements of our heroes regardless of their shortcomings. Some may reject him because of his clan, thus approving the french research. 5- Resilient and a nation of poets. The traditional pastoral culture of most Somalis needs resilient people to thrive. Most of the land is Savannah and semi desert with constant shortage of rain. A tough land for tough people. While the lands controlled by the Italians are fertile agricultural land , most Somali inhabited areas, from NFD, hawd & reserve, Somaliland and Djibouti are Pastoral nomadic land, which most of the colonials describe in their writings. . Tribal rivalry, scarce of resource and harsh climate made the art of poetry part of Somali culture. Here is the great Ismaacii Mire, in one of his poems about nature, man and beast. Guuguulayahaw haddaad, gugii u ooyayso, haddaad moodday keligaa inuu gubayo jiilaalku, Oo aad gamoorahakan maran gama’ la’aan diiday Ayna gocosho awgeed ilmadu, kaaga gobo’laysay Guumays cirroobaan ahaye war an ku gaarsiiyo Gartaa maaha keligaa inaad, gaar u cabataaye Giddigood addoomaha waxaa gaaray nabar weyne Abaar gaag ma reebaa dhacdiyo, gaatamoo kale e Geelii adduunka u adkaa, gobollo waydowye Golihii ka kici waa raggi,i gaydho hayn jiraye, Tuuladay ilgabadlaynayaan, gobol barbaartiiye Ninkii timirta goob dhigi lahaa, jiingaduu geline Ninna uma garaabeen haddaan, gaadhka laga hayne Gammaankii ka maray dhoodi iyo galaxyadeediiye Gumburigii bar baa joogsadiyo, goroyo cawshiiye Saryankii garbaha weyn lahaa, geed ka kici waaye Wuxuu gooni daaqii habsaday, gubaddadii Hawde Garanuugti iyo deeradi,i gaag yar baa haraye Gobay iyo askari geyfan baa, goodirkii jaraye Guuyadiyo jiiskii hadday, kala gol waayeene Kama guuxo aar goonlihi,i geliga toomoode Shabeelkii gabraar lagu idlee, giiro layn jiraye Oo gododka kama soo ciyaan, gabannadiisiiye Hargihiisa nimankii gataa, guuldarraw sidaye Gaadiidkii la dhaansanahayiyo, giindhaygii maraye Ahmigii la gawrici jiriyo, gaabay adhigiiye Goggii subagga laga buuxin jirey, hataan gorofaadye Basaas bay timihii uga go’een, gaaridii dumare Galowgiiiyo fiintii naf bay, giida la hayaane Gorgorkiyo dhurwaagii laftaad, galayax mooddaaye.

If we keep some of our good characters , like independence, faith, freedom and courage, at the same time get rid of the bad characters, we could be in a better position.

As I said in these pages, I contact a certain ” Xildhibaan” from time to time. I asked him about the latest noise about Qoslaaye, the campaign to unseat him and few other things. First he said ” CaLI Geedi is not the one behind the campaign, Geedi was broke in Nairobi and made a lot of noise against Qoslaaye and his government. ” THe president’s sister went to Nairobi few weeks ago and she brought him to Mogadishu.” ka dibna waa la aamusiiyey”. I do not know what that means. I asked him about the lunch last weekend. He said ” security and vehicles for the gathering was arranged by Hag Members of the Parliament, it was hastily arranged and some of us did not even knew the agenda until after the lunch. When I asked him about this Cosoble guy and his plan he said ” Qadada iasagg bixiyey, laakiin, cid kale ayaa daaha gadaashiisa joogta, laakiin dhawaan ayaan ogaan doonaa. I also asked him about the President. He said ” cidina naf uma hayso, waa laga soo taagan yahay. That is the words he used if you can understand reer Somaliland dialect”. Now, let me add my few senses. who is hiding behind the curtain?. I do not think Faroole would like to finish someone else’s term. He may want to run 2016. Shariif Ahmed maybe pushing the issue behind since the agitators are his clansmen. How about Cali Khaliif?. remember he is mot done yet. all this Khaatumo visit and other “shir” are all prelude to the big job. The young guys may not know but Siilaanyo and Galayr even tried to replace Siyaad Barre without blood. THey formed a group called ” jeegaanta”( I have to verify the real name) . Galayr and his men were working to make Siilaanyo nthe prime minister under Siyaad Barre. When the time came to confront b Siyaad Barre, he and Siilaanyo slipped out of the country and that task was left to Ismaaciil cali Abokor, mohamed Adan Sheekh, Cumar carte and others. One senior bureaucrat even told me Ahmed Saleebaan Dafle Tipped them off about the the intentions of Siyaad Baree. any way he is gearing for 2016. C/weli, president of Puntland doesn’t want any bchanges, he is preparing for 2016 with a war chest. I do not know who is pushing Qoslaaye.

THey may have logistical advantage, but anyone who have the skill and organization could win. I never never believe that power is given. Mahiigaan , you must take it, then exercise it.

Waa in gudaha lawada dhigaa. Ciyaarihii gobolada ayagoo isku team ah atey midiyo isku qaateen. Saalax hawshan ma Siilaanyaan dusha ka saarnaa mise reer Burco wax baa ka siya?.

odayga maanta, marka hore soo dhawoow, marlabaad waxaan ka mid ahay dadka suugaanta xiiseeya. labada wakhti need sheegtay midka hore wakhti aag buu ahaa. wakhtigaas hore waxaan ku arkay suugaan badan oo u badan Faan, Diradiraale, iyo digasho. Inkasta oo waxyaaba badan oo dhaqan, deeqsinimo iyo geesiniom ku jirto hadana waxaad moodaa in ay tayo liidatay. Dhinacayga waxaan is leeyahay, suugaantii gobonimo doonka iyo wakhtigii xoriyada ka horeysay ayaan u arkaa mid tayadeeda iyo meesha laga ciyaarayba ay ayhayd mi saraysa. Bal eeg Barkhad Cas, Xaaji AAdan af qalooc iyo rag kale oo ka hadlayey gumaysiga iyo nxoriyada.

Somaliarising, I agree. They are polarizing figures, the reaction in Mogadishu will be bad. Faroole may join in different capacity. I thought a prime minister, but again his close association with Ethiopia and others will make it difficult for him to be accepted.

I am not sure, but Mr. Geedi, C/qadir cosoble and some D boys in Kenya are pushing this motion. It won't be a change but a coup by Kenya.

Waar ilayn anagaa wax aragnay, juba state cid walba miyey ka noqonaysaa. I thought the guy was from Garoowe. More logical will be probably Prime Minister. He could deal tough to Al-shabaab hideouts in Mogadishu.

I can assure you their manners are better and are not bs load as most Faradheer.

I think that statement concluded the Jigjiga debate. The Woyane appoints and fires the Governors. Sometimes they even used to arrest them after they served few years. More ten governors served under Meles.

You need 2/3, supermajority to unseat Qoslaaye. It is a big blow to his ego and it could be a wake up call to do better. For me September/2014, could be the main deadline, which is half way of his mandate. Having said that , if the interest of the country is served by his removal, then the Somali Parliament must decide, not foreign entities. It is unacceptable for the so called international community to decide the term of the Somali leader. Are they want to remove him because of incompetence and the lack building Somali National army to tackle the insecurity or he got some back bone and challenged The baby face (dad's boy) Uhuru and Ethiopia?. If the case is the later we will support him to stand up to his ground and implement his agenda. Now we know how decent and good leader Shariif Ahmed was. Maybe these leaders learn things in their later years, for that reason, I will not jump the gun. Besides we don't have or seen any credible alternative who is ready to replace him at the moment. We may end up with some nobody selected by Nairobi or Ethiopia. let us wait guys.

Il Dittore, probably lost his marbles, The word I used is" the best grazing land" there is a difference between grazing land and fertile land. Grazing is for livestock, while fertile land like Jubba and Shabeele are for farming. Dhoobaydu Idaha, Adhiga iyo Geela midna lagumo dhaqo. Go check yourself which one has more goats between Nugaal valley and Jawhar.

Who knows maybe they are Siilaanyo for help. Waar nimankan Afrikada ka soo shaqo tagay mishaarkooda $1500 doolar ah idinku qaata oo askar noo soo dira , Hadii Islaanimo iyo walaatinimo jirto. Jawaabta Siilaanyo, waxaan ka sugaynaa Ciidansuldaan.

By the way Dittore Zone 5 is divided in two major area during the colonial times. The Ogaden region which is mostly the "oogo" zone was transferred to Ethiopia in 1948. The Long foot decided to join their lot with then Emperor Haile Salaase. They were afraid of the British which was more powerful. The main districts in these area are Dollow, Dhagaxbuur, Qabridahare and Webi ganaane area. other than the river basin in the south west most of the land is arid semi desert savannah which is not agricultural land. The biggest land mass which the second Zone was called "Hawd & reserve". This land was bigger than Somaliland itself when the British transferred to Ethiopia in 1954. This part of the land borders both Somaliland and puntland. The major cities are Diredawa and shiniile on the deep west, Awbare, Awaare, Wajaale, Xarshin, Araabi, Dambal, lafaciise, Sheed dheer in the south. Wardheer, carro danood, Gaashaamo and others share the border in the east. The Gurgura are one of the largest Somalis in the Zone. almost most of the Zone presidents or vice presidents were from them., yet you don't hear them saying they own the Zone. THe D,,,R community begins in the northern shores of the red sea, pass Dire Dawa to Djibouti. From Zaylac to the outskirt of Laascaanood in the east. from Mudug all the way to Shabeelaha Hoose and Kismaayo. From East of Jigjiga to quljeed and wajaale. Yet you do not hear us saying the dir-- who are running two governments in Djibouti and Somaliland-- are the most powerful or influential. I guess it is all about Boosting and self aggrandizing. These are the best grazing land of the land inhabited by somalis, including the republic. JIgJIga is how Mogadishu was in the eighties. A multi tribal community. If Sahal became a governor suddenly it all belongs to the even reer Bari like Dittore who never ever seen the Zone.

Dittore Jigjiga is not Sahal. one of our boys was even a governor of Jigjiga. Gurgura, I,,,,q, Djibouti community and awdal community who are D.....r inhabit some the most grazing hawd and cities. did you hear Awbarre district it had 120,000 people according last census. Our friends the long foot maybe in charge today due to their struggle and Onlf, but they are minority. I won't even debate that. The reer Bari are fishermen and traders, what you do with farming.

Mooge, saaxiib, I know what you thinking, but I just want "il Dittore" to be save. Al-shaydaan could be in Jubba.

Dittore, I don't think you will be going to jubooyinka any time soon, so enjoy the Bari beeches.

The guy is carrying the name of the head of Somali state not qoslaaye, so we expect Kerry or others to respect the people he is representing and give him the protocol he deserves. Raali kama nihin in la bahdilo.

Dahir Calasow, sometimes uncovers real investigative reports. If he balances and keeps his objectivity , he could have become a great investigative journalist. He was the one who told us about Damuljadiid. The problem is, his constant attack of some groups or businesses diminish his credibility.

Che, among the points you raised the return of Amhara is probably the scariest option. I check their websites and you won't believe their rhetoric. Some even suggest that for Ethiopia to be great , they must get a sea port, and they are not talking about Eritrea but Djibouti. one of their intellectual professors suggested that a ten year occupation of Djibouti and the relocation of 1 million Ethiopians can change the demography easily. They also blame Meles for for the ethnic separation of the communities. Most of the Oromo who share borders with Somalis have cultural links with us. There are literally millions of Oromos who are ethnic Somalis who took Oromo language and culture. They are called " warooyin". each one's tribe is preceded by waro. Since our population is smaller, I do not mind people who share faith and culture, who can assimilate easily to boost our ranks.. In Fact thousands of them live in Hargeisa, Borama , Boosaaso and other places. For the Woyane to rule for ever, they must all become soldiers. If we were in charge of Somalia, we would have decided who should be ruling Ethiopia, not the other way around . If they do not play ball, " sideed Jabhadood oo kala duwan baan ku sii dayn lahayn. There is no way this country can exist in this form. They have three choices to make. 1- Disintegration and dissolution just like former Yugoslavia. Every ethnic group will have their own state. 2- Plural democracy. A multi ethnic, multicultural country where people vote for those who rule. That means the minority Tigray, or Amhara will not be the favorite candidates. That scenario will dethrone them peacefully and Ethiopia could become a modern free country. 3- The status quo. Keep things the way they are and wait for the implosion and violent disintegration of the country. by 2017, If things get bad, we may even send some peace keepers to keep the order. Like most oppressive rulers , I know they will choose the last option.

Mahiigaan, saaxiib isku xisbi baynu nahay. Aan is dhaafino odaygan Siilaanyo. Runtii waa daalay. We need being change in terms of the government is run and service is delivered.
