  1. Why can't at least the diaspora from the republic see that the transitional, Federal..etc does not belong in Mugadishu. The whole Somalia gets reduced in stature and hope with every truck bomb car bomb or suicide bomb.

    Those who control Mugadishu will never be satisfied and with every demand they have expect an incident.

     

    Imagine if the Capital had been moved 2004 or 2006 to Baidoa, Jowhar or somewhere fairly open to all corners of Somalia, where every Somali can be made to feel at home and fairly equal opportunity to be included.

    30 years means a person born in this condition has already one or two kids at least and they start growing in the same conditions. If something in politics does not work in 20 years, will almost always never work, need major rethink, major change of the whole exercise.

    In the SRS capital of Jijiga, thousands of Oromos were herded into trucks by police and removed from the city. Many have not returned. Somalis, meanwhile, flooded back the other way.

    This is white lie. In the heat of the conflict when Somalis were killed inside Oromo state then the Somali govt did most responsible thing. Protected the Oromos. Not a single Oromo was killed as a result of this action inside Somali kilil.

    This actually brought praises for the Somali kilil in all of Ethiopia including Oromo. It also shows the Somali kilil has full control of its kilil and takes its responsibility to protect anyone's life.

    SSDF was insignificant by all measures according to all reputable sources of the time. It was the only movement to give up on their objective and lay down their weapons to beg Afweyne for clemency. 

    They even begged to join forces with the SNM, to which the SNM resoundingly rejected :D 

    Why is that most Somalis from the republic never want to mention SSDF was most hunted and persecuted group by Ethiopia? Why most of you want to hide the fact that A. Yusuf was in Mengistu jail for 5-6 years and was thanks to WSLF and TPLF that prevented from Mengistu killing him when defeated, and got him out alive.

    Yes SSDF begged SNM what is wrong with that, they asked for alliance, but SNM rejected because Ethiopians will not like it.

    Zaid Barre also was willing to bargain anything with Mengistu if its to punish SSDF if its against SSDF.

     

    Kililka knows more how each group from Somalia behaved with Ethiopia. USC that so much propaganda is made about it being against Ethiopia was Mengistus most favourite, next SNM ...SSDF never favoured in Ethiopia.

    The only time Puntland and Ethiopia became close was close also with kililka. Never being friend with Ethiopia but enemy to Kililka. Puntland is close to both without skipping the Somali people. We know what some of you do. You don't even know you are flying over Somalis on your way to Addis Ababa.


  4. The Sayid is kililka. Every Somali who feels like it, around the world can show respect to his movement, but when it comes to home its kililka. Fighters were from many places, more from some than others, but that is not important. BTW some of the strongest opposition to him was also from Kililka.

    Of course, if the Oromo don’t get the Somalis on their side they’re doomed. But it’s the Tigre who want to use the Somali against the Oromo, and that should not be allowed.

    I am just going to petition Iley to hire an advisor a strategist like you. Actually that now kililka is "oil producing" enclave, can afford to hire you. Would you be willing to visit Kililka and advice the government to drop everything and line up behind the eternal friends brothers Oromo state?

    That was perhaps the only blemish on SNM's great victory, the fact that they showed the pirates mercy and did not march on Galkayo as was the plan originally. 

    Had they done that the pirates would have had no way of inviting foreigners and use them against their fellow Somalis.  

     

    Mengistu of course would have helped you . He hated SSDF the most.


  7. PM Abiy is in more trouble than Iley.

    Iley is federalist and most to protect kililka Autonomy.

    Abiy is supported mainly by anti-kililka and anti federalism anti autonomy, but most Oromos are pro federalism and pro kilil.

    like before It is extremely under-reported, but it is all hell break loose in Ethiopia!

    The media is well orchestrated by America and America trained diaspora that have come back. For the Oromo Iley is biggest and main target. The feeling among these Oromo in influence is that if the Somali is not neutralized or on our side, that will be our downfall.

    @Old_Observeris a nice guy. He is in Djibouti now. 

    Djibouti is all quiet. Smart Somali Ghelleh staying under radar. UAE is doing million things around him especially in Eritrea with some help from new government in Ethiopia, but I think if he makes it through 6-10 months all this will blow over.

    Even the Eritrean cappo is not in good health. The Ethiopians will be busy with their home court.

    Waryaa Jaajuus Tigray, Xaaji Maalaayacni, stop instigating violence between the Oromo and Somalis. It obvious that you’ve taken up the mantle from Old Observer whose sole purpose for being on SOL is to sow discord and hatred between the Oromos and Somalis. 

    I have said it once and I will say it again: The Tigray and Amhara should NEVER be allowed to use the Somali and Oromo against one another to further their political machinations and objectives.

    lol

    If you are a Somali, shouldn't you think first of your own house be it Kililka or in the republic before trying to make a global analysis. I really dislike when dishonesty is being covered by outsiders like Tigray Amhara Oromo etc. Why not speak of the Somali people first what is their interest, what is the way of life in this area of conflict, who wants what...No human being will go to fight to death unless there is material interest behind it and when people fight without their own interest involved they abandon it as quick as it stumbles.

    These two kilils have conflict:

    Trade route control and trade contraband gangs

    Historical land claims as old as the peoples

    It affects everybody  even the opposition like ONLF and OLF they were going to fight 94 if it wasn't for Diredawa being made federal then.

    Its your choice like our galbeedi to stand with Oromo regardless of what, but you can say it straight. No need to make global collection.

    Shariif and culusow encouraged, abetted and benefitted from Somaliland's secession quest. No wadanimo. Just cash is what matters to them. Let me say, Shariif has no credibility on this topic. I wouldn't be surprised if we found out that he is paid again. 

     

    Shiek Sherif scoundered a lot of political capital. Somalia was really hopeful till then that the TFGs might produce results. His ICU days became liability instead of an asset.

    It's very difficult for somalis it's to radical to many conflicts. For example the mudug divide habargangster clan and the pirates up north. The Mogadishu war cali Mahdi vs caydiid.  Caydiid butchering Mogadishu residents who shared an abtirsi with afweyne. Imagine your own neigbor killing you. It was very ugly dagaalki ehliga.

    Then gen gabyow  and moorgen and barre hiiraale fighting over kismayo.  Caydid conquering bay and bakool. It's It's cycle of violence for Somalis. And thats only koonfurians doing that to each other.

    What about the crimes general afweyne moorgen  gaani canjeex maslax and cali samatar and tuke. Committed against the people of Somaliland. Somalia  And Somaliland divide is even worse.

     

    War waxa inugu faqfaqina.ninwalba waxbu tirsanaya. Laga lug bixiyi mayoo

    It looks impossible until you look at it from a practical point of view. What is the alternative? Wait until one tribe wins over the other. Burry the history forget the wrongs and move on?

    At least maybe a good idea to do it regionally over smaller wrongs than 1991 or 1988 or 2006 or others,

    Now that there is oil in the Somali kilil, will Jinacsani and other Oromised regions come back to the fold? 

    lol

    Or go the opposite way if another oil company or western country will pay more to disrupt it. That is what oil companies did 100 years. Get the next tribe and disrupt.

    This oil BTW was known before Saudi oil was found. Ethiopian king was overthrown by British because he gave contract to American company in 1915. Standard oil of new jersey Exxon and Anglo Persian oil British Petroleum.

    Just as the Tigrey rebels later became the government, the ONLF should persevere and pile on the pressure until they take over from Iley. Once they are in control of the Somali kilil, then they will have the choice to dismantle or reform the Liyu "police". 

    They can only take over from Iley by what most of them are doing. Be part of the system be it kililka or federalka. You get paid to educate unite develop your people and the independence for another day and for sure becomes easier if you manage your house well.

    I always wonder how does one go from being honest person to being a thief. I am sure most of these people were not corrupt when they assume these positions. How do you rationalize stealing public funds?

    Its the system of checks and balances that allows, in some case encourages, in others it makes one weak to resist temptation.

    If you don't fix the system to preventative you are only replacing one corrupt with another who will be corrupt sooner or later.

    Ma maqashay shaydaan ciddi keenta saarta, ama ninkii Qayrkii loo xirayoow adna soo qoyso.

    No I haven't heard that one. My point is if the Oromo or Tigray do something they do it for themselves first. You are only becoming an add on or afterthought. But if you do things for yourself then they become add on.

    Than Iley came and. started killing every tribe in border. It was time to pay back. He did not miss one single tribe from Awdal to Bay.  The border was closed and both Boosaaso and Berbera lost business. They were competing to sell their soul yo the devil.

    I think making business out of your brothers killing each other needed to stop. They might have been helping ONLF, but why help ONLF when ONLF is part of the problem in kililka itself before you go Ethiopia. ONLF themselves will tell you that was not conducted properly as a fight to free the Somali from Ethiopia.

    You can make kililka self sufficient, self governing, self protecting...without creating bloodshed within kililka and pushing some tribes to Ethiopian arms.

    Mooge cabdi cawar handed over allot of somalis from somali kilil region. It's not a lie so did the pirate from eyl from the Jesus coat clan mr faroole. Back when our cap driver from auzy was the tribal Lord of garowe he even said the big footclan are not even ethnic Somalis.  Same way colonel yey said back in the days. Mawlid macaane is not Somali  The pirates decide who is a somali and who is not. Balwareerka eega

    If every prominent person from Somalia was like Yey. He sat with elders and also 3 leaders of ONLF before he reached the conclusion that Puntland should not support separation or independence of kililka. It was just being organized then with full ONLF participation. What they told him was that they will stay if true autonomy is achieved and even if to separate will not be done by arms. Kililka is all destroyed and there is no unity at this time for fighting.


  19. I like NOT the politics of corruption around the world.

    No body will explain the details for education. No body will put a new system to prevent next corruption.

    Somebody's name is run to the ground and every one is hero anti corruption NOT, but anti somebody corrupt.

    The current government in Ukraine is more corrupt than the one overthrown for corruption. lol Because the war was hijacked and became anti corrupts of Russian Ethnic and not anti corruption the culture, the system...etc.

    Thank you @Oodweyne, you have done your duty. Viva Somaliland.

    Are you thanking him for work he did in the past or new work that SOLers do not know?

    Hope all is fine with his health and life. If you have contact please let him know he is missed and greetings.
