mohamed Awaale not only designed the flag, but also put the hopes and the dreams of future united Somali regions under four colonial powers. The Italian star has Lix geesood, while the Somali one has five which according to Mr. Cawaale represent the the five regions ( British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, French Somaliland, NFD and Somali Galbeed. The great composer Abdilahi Qarshe said, : Qolobaa calankeedu waa cayno Inagana kenu waa cirkoo ka le e. There is no where in the world where the sky is clear blue than the Somali home. One main reasons the modern Landers are questioning or trying to defame the flag is because it was the flag raised in Hargeisa in June 26 1990 in Beerta Xoriyada. If Somaliland was a deferent country, they would have raised another flag, but to the Somalis of that era, it was Somali nomads living under defferent colonial zones which had only a nominal boundary. there was no border between Garoowe and Laascaanood that would stop the nomads or people, it was only in the minds and books of the colonial powers dividing. When someone got sick of unknown decease or in bad mood people used to say; Waar way bugtaaye bandhiga xoriyada geeya. People used to go to the Beerta Xoriyada and forget their anxiety. That was how popular it was. Yet, we see these new kids telling us history of Somalia started in in 1991. Here , the great Ustaad Ahmed Naaji

It is all about intimidation. They took out the $ 9.6 millions AUE money from the bank without even notifying and when that move blew in their face, they brought the money , dragged wasiir Bayle to the bank and took pictures with Emarati ambassador . There are reports that the money had left ($6m) the bank last week. Also last week Bayle said the treasury have enough money money to pay the salaries of the army and the public service for the next three to six months according to the government budgeting estimates. That kind of talk has embarrassed HSM who left empty treasury and $60 million debt owed to his cronies and Mogadishu oligarchs. Yet, Bayle was the target of Rooble for a long time and he tries to fire him but was unable due to pressures from donors. Either this attorney general who has done nothing for the last three years is trying to keep his post by targeting Bayle or he wants to know if the $9.6 million was looted by the gang. Either way Bayle is clean and I do not worry about him. I would also advise Bayle not to take any cabinet possition on this government and get ready for the future. Heck he was the only few ministers who did his job. Does anyone knows the minister of defense i country battling insurgency?, do you know who is the interior minister? no because they all appointed to fill their clan seat just like the parliament. Soon we will find out if this the USC of 1991 trying reverse their 30 years old mistake in 2022 or a reformer that got a second chance. Ilaa hada jabhad dalka qabsatay ayey u eegyihiin. As I said before, let us wait and see. Dani said let us give them 120 days, and it looks that I a with C/lahi Dani camp on this case.

This president lives in another world. The parliament and the speaker are no where to be found, the poor prime minister is waiting for the approval of parliament, and cabinet selection should be on the agenda. Yet, why in the world would he travel without a government in place. Dalku waa billa xukuumad, yet he is traveling without the foreign ministry. There are no any well thought policy, no agreements to be signed with a foreign government while your prime minister and cabinet are waiting to be formed. Waar hawsha muhiimka ahi Dubai iyo Nairobi ma taalee, shaqada dalka kuu taala hagaajiso marka hore. We had no real government for two years since Khayre was replaced in the summer of 2020. We all keep about talking Farmaajo, it should be Khayre. The day that guy left office Somalia collapsed. Khayrow Xaal Qaado.

They shouldn't participate at all. BB, did you know for the last seven years Somaliland held Ciyaaraha gobolada for only once or twice. The youth throughout Somalia are after thought. There is no football league or even yearly competition in peaceful Somaliland. And they have the ministry of sports. What that tells you?

Subhanalah, you visit a country , take care of your business and the go home. Waa maalintii afraad. The other one, speaker of the parliament is away to Kenya for almost a week, while the parliament business is awaiting. Is he negotiating Qat contract for him and Shariif Sakiin?. Waar ilayn aduunyadan anagaa wax aragnay.

It doesn't matter where he is born. Farmaajo was the only Somali president born and raised in Mogadishu. Yet, it was Mahad Salaad and Ina C/shakuur saying " Reer Mudisho ii soo gurmada". HSM folks are from Mareeg and Galgaduud, They just came to Mogadishu like me and you. THat is why most of Mogadishu locals oppose him. Rooble walked at Liido beech and the youth screamed at him. Of course they might have the power to cause anarchy and destroy things, but a real government could disarm them easily.

Khare is the best prime minister we have seen in Somalia since 1991, period. As mentions by BB Dani didn't run to be number two. He was in it to win. By gaining 65 seats in the first round and becoming the leading candidate he had a great chance to win. I thing he didn't had a great strategy for the second round. Since no one expected Khayre to score that high, Dani and his camp should have moved quickly and offer Khayre the premiership. That move could have put him easily over one hundred votes. It seems Dani has been betrayed by the Jubbaland crowd. There are even rumors that Faroole had made a deal with Khayre to gain the premiership for his sub clan. Yet, everyone should know that while the jackals in Mogadishu made a lot of noises and screamed everyday, it was the lions who put down Farmaajo. Madaxweynihii hore waxa legday waa labada Libaax ee D block, dawacaduna hilibkii ayey guratay. I respect the Unaka group by showing an aura of invincibility or I should say as eventual guarantors who are expected to win. Unaka Leh is a good slogan. HSM and Dano both knew that there was a genetlemans agreement that both should gai the top jobs after the demise of Farmaajo. He is definitely been betrayed by many people. While Dani has spoken too early and should have waited for three months or so, some us welcome his challenge to keep HSM and company to their toes to avoid transgressing. A man whose current appointed people are 90% his clan while 60% are his own sub clan must be watched and checked in balance. Without Puntland, who else will keep these entitled group in check? forget about those from Somaliland, they are useless, and KG are mostly passive and want to enjoy the Mogadishu hotels. The real opposition will come from Puntland and the local people of Mogadishu. Remember Hassan Sheikh is from Galmudug and has zero local connections. In my book HSM and those from Garoowe and even Hargeisa have a varying distance to the capital. He and Mahad Salaad are both outsiders. unverified reports claim that $6 million dollars had been windthrown from the treasury by Rooble and all I see is this fool C/rahman Bayle double talking after been probably threatened by the gang. Having said that we will wait and see the cabinet of Mr. Hamza. I hope he and HSM appoint credible and qualified technocrats to the positions of Foreign affaires, finance and defense. Does anyone knows who is even the defense minister of Somalia? Good luck.

Kulmiye with the government resources will be among those three. Wadani has extensive support across Somaliland and probably Hilaac. Too bad Faysal had a lot of opportunity to defeat Kulmiye, especially after he expelled the young leader Jamal Cali Huseen and indirectly helped Muuse Biixi. The opposition is barking yet, those who are present in this Hilaac party are acting like " In xisbiyada la furay" . Weli lama furin. Faysal Waraabe hubkiisii wuu diyaarsadaye maxaa tala ah.

Al-shabaab leaders come and go, but the real principles ( Milkiilayaasha) always remain despite the changes. Mahad Karatey is among those who rule behind the scene and have extensive connections in mOgadishu. Despite their arms and recruits, Al-shbaab is very weak in terms real confrontations. Like criminals ,they usually concentrate soft targets. Few minor steps could eliminate them. 1-most of their weapons are procured or gained from Anisom forces, mainly the Burundis and others. THey overrun a base and take tons of weapons. If you send home these weak forces to their country and replace few hundred mobile Somali forces, that would diminish their capacity. 2-cut all services to the area they control including Hawala and other electronic banking systems. 3- prevent them their ability to tax and monitor the activities of the Bakara market. 4-Reduce and eliminate the hardship of the locals who seek the help of Al-shabaab to confront those outsiders who are exploiting the and their resources. There are huge number of youth who join them to fight those who occupy their land. 5- shut down the airwaves and stop the propaganda Somalia media members make voluntarily for Al-shbaab for many reasons. Look at this journalist. He is probably among those hired to create fear. Finally, Al-shabaab isn't Taliban. Few drones and an agile and mobile Somali force could eliminate.

Che, fire is burning from north, west and south of Ethiopia. Any news from the Amhara who are basically disgruntled due to peace overtures from Abiy to TPLF?

Xaaji raiisul Wasaaraha ma haweeney Kikuya ah baa dhashay. If that is true he should be disqualified.

MMA, his name is Mohamuud Hashi Abdi. He is a member of Kulmiye, so does Mr. Ina Samaale on the left. It seems a faction of Kulmiye are either leaning to join Hillaac or just giving a boast to Samatar. Hogaamin dalka hamuun u qabee wixii han lahow hillac noqo. The people Hargeisa are masters in terms composing and creating art. Anyway, if the political parties are not opened and the current " Xadhig Jiid" gets ugly there won't be any party. Remember, If the two opposition parties insist on holding the presidential election first, Samatar and company have to wait another five or even seven years to contest. If Biixi and company force the election of the political parties before the presidential one, then UCID of Faysal Waraabe will disappear and the race will among three horses. In my opinion these parties should wait until the current issues are resolved.

I get the points about the ethics of people back home. When you visit, you know we are totally different than them in terms how they deal to one another and corrupt practices. Yet, those back home understand one another in terms of their intentions and motivations. It will take at least few years for me and you to grasp the the new Somalia. It is clear he is dispatched by Kenya, and that country is where foreign powers reside today. Addis Ababa used to be the place where things were managed for Somali affaires. If Hassan Sheikh doesn't keep the good relations with Ethiopia, the old policy of regions heading to Addis might start. Will see

Maakhiri1, I posted without listening that clip about the Kenyan delegation. That shows a big connection. I hope he uses that for connection for the good of the country. I hope.

by the way his speech was well crafted, measured and to the point. nin degan oo hadal toosan. so far.

I agree. It is about time that seat goes to different communities. It is very early to judge Mr. Hamza Barre. One positive thing is he isn't from diaspora and by the tweets I see, he was involved with local indigenous education with Hassan Sheikh long time ago.. Some us might look down about his education in Yemen, but Sudan and Yemen are where most Somalis back home go for higher education. He even went to study in Malaysia which is a plus. Also, the Islaah or Somali branch of the Muslim brotherhood , background is way much better than the rigid Salafis. Islah in Somalia was involved mostly in education and helping the next generation from inside than train them with guns like Sheikh Ina Dahir Aweys. In fact, their whole Manhaj is to build an educated, benevolent, Islamic oriented youth through the community. That is huge plus for Mr. Hamza. I am sure he will be definitely better than Rooble. Yet, my advice to premier Hamza would be to be very pro-active. If the security issues get bad he would be the first to be blamed. There would be a lot of home boys deputized for the security departments through nepotism and when the tire touches the road they will all fail. He should remember that nice outgoing an going along former premier Saacid Faarah, the process to replace him started within 8 months with Hassan Sheikh blaming him to be weak and incompetent. Remember, the mother of the fedearl Somalia , Puntland, is also watching carefully for any mistakes and will be the first to bring the motions to depose you despite the K&L thing. It is a blood sport out there. The negative side so far is the perceived connection with Kenya. Mr. Hamza, how you treat the Kenyan file will show the Somali people if you are your own man and genuine fellow who is seeking a good neighborly relations with Kenya or somebody dispatched by our neighbors ( Waa in aad muujisaa in aadan ahayn nin dhabarka Kenya ka soo taabata). Furthermore, I know the Galmudug boys might be your allies, but if you don't put them in a short leash and stop the dual track of anarchy and business dealing side by side, you will lose. Waa Iga digniin. This young man has an opportunity to do some good things and we have to give him a chance to prove himself. Congratulations Mr. Hamza

I heard he was the sectary general of the party of president Hassan Sheikh.. Personally, if the premier has to come from Jubbaland , the most qualified guy is Huseen Abdi Xalane. He has both the experience, the qualification and credit. I heard some zealots from N&N call him bad names. Since when working for the UNHCR and international organizations make one traitor or Spy. I did talk some of his friends and they confirmed that he is not a member of the board of Sahan group. Furthermore, he has nothing to do with Matt Bryden. It was president Hassan Sheikh who broke the law and brought to Villa-Somalia for a man convicted by Somali court. He could have given him amnesty or appealed to the court. It was Samafal who was arguing about courts few days ago. Well, even the president doesn't believe the courts.

Why Somaliland want to the stick everyone uses to beat or annoy Somalia? Why the are seeking an ugly attention ? what would they gain if the relationship between Somalia and neighboring countries quarrel ? It was Faysal who said he prefers those from Addis than other Somalis, so now they prefer those from Kikiyu country. What a shame. Ma ul Soomalida lagu karbaasho ayey noqotay Somaliland. I don't think the people of Somali would appreciate this ugly gesture.

Go check what Nuunow was doing in Naasa Hablood hotel. They opposed the shariif Sakiin project , and most of those killed were from KG. Khayre and Farmaajo has nothing to do with that. Not one single critic of Khayre and Farmaajo was targteted by al-shabaab.

He is really uninformed. Since the Carta government of 2000, no parliament failed to get enough members for their first session. This is serious. Duufaan is correct, Al-shabaab tried to storm last year a Gorgor base in Aw deegle while the army was asleep 3 in the morning and were repulsed and defeated with 75 Al-shabaab casualty. Between 2012-2015 they have not only captured , but also overrun many Amisom bases and took all the weapons . The problem is that except the mafia, Mogadishu residents probably believes Fahad Yaasiin and they are scared .

Samafal, There are no courts to adjudicate civil or criminal cases except those who are related to capital punishments and clear cut terrorism' crimes with amble evidence. Even peaceful regions like Somaliland or Puntland doesn't have courts to decide serious cases . Land dispute cases go for decades without no one winning or losing. I think that part of the accusations is probably the weakest part by Fahad. I do believe him about the connections of Al-shabaab and Mahad Salaad, in fact, a former high official from the C/laahi Yusuf government told me that almost every Soomaali Maamul, Amisom and others including Puntland and Somaliland have access to contact Al-shabaab. Also judging by the desperation of this mafia, they will use anyone to take advantage. Fahad doesn't need to talk about what took place for the last 5 years or more, I think most people know that Mahad Salaad was the main protagonist leading the tribal insurgents threatening war against the government. By the time Fahad realized his deep connections three years or so ago, the political climate was polarizing and arresting him would have been difficult. Yet, it was a huge mistake to let it go knowing the danger he posed to the nation. I think the mistake is probably from the Farmaajo side who was blindsided by his re-election. Furthermore, Mahad Salaad who was oposed Qoor Qoor suddenly swathed when Ehlu Sunna fought the Galmudug maamul. I have no doubt that Mr. Salaad is a criminal and a killer. There are enough evidence to prove his crimes. If you shut the noise and did minor investigation, the both the lies of the mother and the mafia could be exposed easily. Before Fahad showed up at NISA, most of the security apparatus in Mogadishu were either former criminals like Saadiq John, Maxakamadaha or former members of Al-shabaab. By the way, the prime minister Fahad was talking about id Cali Mohamed Geedi. The three vocal supporters of Farmaajo in Mogadishu and in the airwaves were Abwaan Bedel, Cali M. Geedi and C/laahi Sheikh Hassan. The Abwaan was killed, C/laahi was bombed few weeks ago and Geedi was saved by Fahad. In fact, Geedi doesn't travel outside Mogadishu and he knows well about the crimes of the mafia.
