I don't see anything wrong, This was not a state visit. And most of those compiled pics could be fake, from state visits.

This MOU is "Qawda maqashii waxna ha u qaban". Nothing on it, except the security bit will ever be realised. UAE suppose to back it but they always have grand plans but are more of talk.

Absolutely agree, Siyad Barre sensed and selfishly wanted that victory for himself, so people remember him 1000 years Wrong calculation

UAE is irrelavent in terms of UN, and no Arab country had nothing to do with Amisom So don't bring something so irrelevant.

But he suppose to write as SL leader, not Kulmiye Bad colors. what is the obbsession with GOLD like Trump. Biihi is being not following status qou in SL, he wants to make more noise till SL gets attention, hoping this force Mogadishu to negotiate, this may work, Another Tukaraq attack, or could lose big time and get more isolated. Will not be surpirsed if does not get what he wants to do more self destructive thing.

WSLF alone would have brought Derg to his knees, In Yemen meeting with CUBA leader, Mengistu begged Siyad and was ready to return majority of SOMALI GALBEED to SOMALIA.

The numbers, confirmed, but real could be more. Ethiopia tried to use brute force but failed miserably. Over 100,000 Ethiopians and 19,000 Eritreans killed in two years. More here 2001 There were no reported deaths due to the conflict in 2001. 2000 Tens of thousands of Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers and likely thousands of civilians from both countries died in the fighting. However, specific and independently confirmed numbers remain unavailable. "Some 120 000 people are thought to have died in the two-year conflict, many in the last three weeks." [Guardian, 5 June, 2000] "As diplomacy failed, both sides dug in, remilitarized and commenced a series of deadly battles that military experts say constitutes the most lethal war now being waged on the planet, with casualties in the tens of thousands." [Washington Post, 21 April 2000] "For its part, Eritrea claimed to have killed or wounded 25,000 Ethiopians in the first two days of combat." [Washington Post, 18 May 2000]

Why does that matter?, they different countries, and been at war, Eritrea was clearly the winner,

Isaias has respect! tiny country with only 5 million, and defeated Ethiopia , over 100k Ethiopian soldiers were mercilessly slaughtered who were trying to take this tiny village and now they just gave away. Eritreans are truly one of the most patriotic people on earth.

Nin meel u cadahay meel ka madoow.

it is, very poor Somali journalism, didn't even do photo search.

why driving on the wrong side of the road.?

Galbeedi, we are 100% on same page, why Galaal who knows the truth propagating lies?

This was expected, the air control, and now this, more will follow that will foce SL to negotiating table. Time will exhaust SL.Advice for SL, get a BIG deal while at strong position, and things can change, secession out of question.

"Discontent with the Siad Barre regime began to spread after the military loss against Ethiopia. Siad Barre had eighty-two high level military officers executed in Ethiopian territory for their opposition to the way the war was handled. The military failure and execution of military officers prompted a 1978 coup attempt. Despite somewhat diverse clan participation amongst the coup leaders, Barre portrayed the coup as orchestrated by the Majeerteen clan. In a pattern similar to what would be used later against the Isaak clan in 1988, Barre responded by purging the government and military of Majeerteen, and committing reprisal killings against the Majeerteen civilian clan members that left roughly 2,000 dead.[ix]" There is no doubt some of the officers were angry of the withdraw.

Galbeedi, these killing happened before the coup, the people killed in Hargaisa is that during the coup of 9th April 1978?

Why Gaas not welcoming him?

Impressive, welcome home Mr President.

Guys, the officer blaming Samatar is most accurate, who fired the shot is not that important, Sheekadan ma dhacdeen iyadoo amar laga haysan Siyàd ama Samatar.

Waxaan ku raacsanahay Gooni, TAARIIKH fog maaha waana fududahay in la ogaado cidii ka danbeeysay hadii la rabo runta in la ogaado. Cid kastoo fulisayna waxay u badantahay Mogadishu amar ka haysteen, ninkan Galaal nin wax walba Siyaad u fulin jirey buu ahaa, yes man, hadhow markii xaajadii Siyaad ku xumaatey ka booday markabkii oo mujaahid iska dhigey, lana saftey xasuuqii dhiigya cab Caydiid Alla naarta ha ku fogeeyee. Markalena Yes man u noqday Caydiid. Sheegan Voa ma miisaana , dhinac bay ka rarantahay.
