    Are we getting here many  double twins of Suldaanka?

     

    Well, let me try to answer these questions.

    Let me start with the second one. These state you mentioned and Mogadishu have been circling the wagon for 30 years. Every Somali political arrangement was centred in Mogadishu despite its insecurity and problems. Rather than start the rehabilitation and pacification of the nation from the peaceful regions and gradually liberate and secure hot spots, successive Somali governments were forced to put up shop in hostile Mogadishu and spread the insecurity to the peaceful regions.

    If Garoowe is stable and peaceful why would a Somali president ride a tank and hide in Villa-Somalia where Al-shabaab mortars could reach him?. 

    In fact, I was talking last night a guy from Puntland who told me that when Farmaajo was welcomed to Puntland few years ago with the most enthusiastic crowd ever  a leader received, an elder  told him to establish a second presidential palace in Garoowe and live part time and avoid the tank of Mogadishu. Since Farmaajo is paranoid of everything Puntland , and he refused.

    Cabdiqasim was advised either to go to Villa-Somalia and clear the gangs who occupied or settle Baidoa. Yet, he decided to settle in a Hotel in Mogadishu, and finished his term without leaving the hotel. C/laahi Yusuf tried to go different way, but the stakes became high due to many reasons.

    So, my friend,  the so called regions have nothing to lose by relocating the capital. In fact, the people of Mogadishu will  lose the billion dollar cash cow siphoned with the Nairobi based NGO's , but they might get a peace of mind. Besides, other than Puntland the rest are just getting out of the gate, and Puntland itself is going no where these days in terms of development and institution building. Every thought Puntlander knows that the tribal contract of 22 years ago can not go on unless real change comes to the Somali situation. They might not even survive another four years if the same status quo.

    On the first question of Somaliland gaining nothing nothing, I beg to defer. If one is in the diaspora sipping coffee Late, all is well, but for the average citizen, stagnation and unemployment is the norm. There is no upward mobility. Both Biixi and the one before him realized that  after 30 years , they could not grow the budget little  motr than  $200 million which is pennies compared with potential of Somaliland.  Without being a real nation, Somaliland can not export the huge livestock trades , and extract the huge coastal minerals and other resources . Somaliland leaders are tired of being governors while Somali leaders are accorded the highest level of statesmanship while they are debating village or town type issues.

     

    Did you hear Muuse Biixi firing the director of Hargeisa hospital and replacing the one he fired two years ago?. Why would a president of a country even bother to micro manage a local hospital? where are the regional governor or city mayor, or the director general of the health ministry?. It is the nature of the job of the governors.

    The people in Somaliland are tired of stagnation, huge youth unemployment and the useless debate of the elite that doesn't improve their lives. With a national capital in Hargeisa tens of thousands of the youth could get jobs and the bride that was lost could come back easily. THe people in Somaliland a decent people who prioritize peace and stability more than anything. The people even tolerate with Biixi and company who are doing nothing to improve their lives. Compare to the Mogadishu crowd who despite getting all the billions worth of  infrastructure from around the world, yet do not appreciate the status given by Somali people.

    The people of Somaliland are tired of waving the flag with nothing in exchange. They are tired of their kids dying in the high seas after graduating from school. 

    The only downside would be people the  like our Suldaanka and others who say " Hargeisa Unaka Leh" like those in MOgadishu have to accept the new status.

    Look just Biixi at the moment. Everyday he is accused of stealing someone else's little blot of land. Habarta dawlada hoose dhul ka qaadato ama Mayorku boobaba waxa ay leedahay Muusaa i boobay. 

    You guys might realize, but if the virus lock-down keeps growing many mayors and politicians will in Somaliland will steal  land and issue multiple land licenses and others fraud means to survive.  All that will be put on Muuse Biixi in the nightly news. It is happening both in Borama and Hargeisa right now. Biixi will leave the the Habro quarrel behind, leave the kids table and sit down with big boys as the leader of free Somalia. 

    It is an opportunity that will never come back. He knows he will not get re-election and  that position will be accorded to Chairman Cirro or who ever is the next leader of Wadani party. 

    On the propaganda side, all you do is hired some of the old guard composers like Mohamed A. Dacar and the rest will be history. 

    They will create a new " Waaba beryey bilicsan.

     

     

     

    So what you are saying is Somali politicians could not solve problems in Somalia for the last 30 years but somehow adding another de facto independent State into the equation will magically bring everyone together and somehow solve the problems of both entities.

    Think harder my friend. You don’t solve a problem by adding a much harder problem on top.

    What makes you think that resolves anything from a Somaliland perspective?

    A just question. The idea of moving the capital to Hargeysa will solve any problem is laughable.

    It is just gifting the problems in Somalia to Hargeysa and for what benefit for Hargeysa, beside the title of “capital”.

    And wouldn’t the other FMS have a say on this?

    I don’t see it.

    The more things change the more they stay the same. 

    I always thought if change has to happen, it should take place the first two years. 

    Who is courageous enough to break the cycle?

    Somalis have been trying to solve their problems using politics believing this to be the root cause of the country’s problem.

    I hope one day a leaders comes who focuses on the economy fully as a means out of the quagmire and where working for the government is not necceserily the best job available.

    Also of note in the second picture is that Farmajo has his right hand semi clenched while Muse Bixi has his left hand fully clenched. 
     

    Muse Bixi appears to be calling the shots. He is happy here.

    I don’t if it is because he lived most of his life in America but Farmaajo stands like Trump. Hands hanging infront of the body stand. Mursal also stands i similar version. I wonder if he spent time in America.

    Haven’t we been here before with Sheikh Shariff and Hassan Sheikh?

    What was the point of fighting Ahmed Madoobe for 3 years only to capitulate this way?

    This is embarrassing.

    Absolutely agreed. I have heard this "solution" mentioned before, of moving the capital to Hargeisa/making Muuse Biixi president, including from high level MP's & Political thinkers/analysts from Somalia. To those who think that this is a possible solution I ask you this, what do you think this solves? 

    People don't understand how insulting this idea is to Somalilanders. It rests on the premise that the entire Somaliland endeavour over the past 30 years wasn't about independence, but about power redistribution. The fact that a troubling number of learned political thinkers from Somalia, think such an infantile solution could bring about reunification, demonstrations how far apart we are in our thinking.

    The idea of the united Somali Republic is a failed project that has no real chance of ever being reignited, from a Somaliland perspective. I think this meeting in Djibouti will therefore amount to, and achieve nothing.

    It must also be asked why Somaliland would take onboard the intractable political problems in Mogadishu and bring it to Hargeysa? It makes no sense at all.  Are people expecting Somaliland to solve the political problems of Somalia? How?

     

    It is as you said, “infantile”.

    Pro Farmajo propagandists (like Sola) are saying on twitter that NN is willing to concede the presidency next term, move the capital to Hargeisa in exchange for “unification”.

    To some this sounds reasonable but it makes no sense why Somaliland would erase itself for such a deal.

    I don’t see the benefit for muse bixi.

    The video has more disliked than viewers because people who clicked it did not watch, just to dislike it and logged out. If you know anything about Youtube, you would know that. Also dislike numbers are live while viewership numbers are not sometimes.

    The comments themselves prove it is real numbers as well. Paid singers Wasaqda Cusub waaku fashilmeen. Anyway, at least it made YOU to come out of your lurking on SOL. That itself says something.

    What you are saying kinda proves it is bought. When you buy likes or dislikes actual people are doing the clicking so they would dislike but not watch the video.

    It is a well known that social media is influenced this way.
