He is a threat to regime, because he is close with them, knows them personally, their secrets, travel with Djibouti passports, and has also many agents inside government and also private sector ows quite some dues to Djibouti.

IOG feeling betrayed and backstabbed, could be quite a more dangerous foe to the Somaliland regime.

Do they realize that of all of their bank accounts can be freezes and confiscated? Even without a ICC warrant, a simple US state court can even freeze their accounts, there is no such thing as impunity for supporting crimes against humanities.

IOG side of this story, quite intriguing.

It seems the real land deal with the Habesha’s isn’t about a recongnition but military muscles to take revenge.

Jeegaan should stay around even if it’s means to rob votes, as they killed the social contract and trust Somaliland was based on it’s only fair they bury it as well. Kolay wee dileen, kafantiina ha u tolaan.

I don’t think the west can sufficiently understand this sort of complexity and fluidity in order to play a constructive role. So option nr 1 seems highly unlikely to materialise, which leaves us option 2 or 3, a failed Ethiopia or an Ethiopia reconquered by highland Xabashas. But I don’t see how highlanders would reassert their influence in the current Addis overrun by Oromo’s, surrounded by Oromo’s, and with an Oromo military elites in power.

MoU has never been made publicly contrary to earlier commitment for Parliament to review.

Even without any legality being there and ICJ striking down the agreement the second Somalia goes to the court, I fear that for the Somaliland regime this is outweigh by the the business prospectives of the deal and presenting a quick win for the electoral before the elections, irrelevant of the end result on its recognition.

I hope your right. P.S. But having no trust whatsoever in the regime and it’s Ethiopian advisors, this well could be a deflection strategy of Ethiopia to make everyone think that they’re walking away from signing the MoU, while they then turn around and sign it in the coming time. See the above video with the Somaliland committee continuing its work in preparation of the deal.

From the perspective of politicians you would have been right, but from a businessman’s point of view, nothing is more important than a ‘mashruuc’. ‘Somaliland oo sahamineysa goobtii ay Ethiopia saldhig ka dhigan lahayd’.

Che what’s the end game you see for Ethiopia; where are things heading to.

Even without recongnition, Somaliland might still resort giving coastal land to Ethiopia. Some might see it as an quick business opportunity, ‘Maahruuc yar faido laga helo’.

Bulshada Somalilandeey bushaaro ma ogtihiin Xornimo no buuxsatee, bislaateye no hanee Cod bixin aan boob leheen ku shubasho iyo been eheen (Somaliland, 2009)

I don’t know about who murdered the kid. But definitely issue was politicised, creating an image as if people were targeted for their clan and even making allegations that the other guys, who died from natural causes were murdered.

Yaab

Galbeedi, You couldn’t be farther from the truth here. 1) If your saying I am of the same clan lineage as some of those leaders in Kulmiye and Wadani, then yes as all Somalis belong to a clan family one way or the other. But it doesn’t mean my political thinking and ideas are forged by those from the same clan? No, first I hardly agree with their politics and thinking, and second I really don’t care about Kulmiye or Wadani. I see Wadani as an offspring Kulmiye gave birth to, and I expect them to be much like Kulmiye 2.0, given their politics and personalities. The reason I have been vying for elections is because thats what they signed up for and agreed to with the electorate, and because I think the change of power is better then the dictatorial regime, the current regime is envisioning. 2) Thirdly, I am sure you understand where Xaaji Xunjuf is coming from as both of your thinking is very much based on the same core of zero sum clan thinking covered under the disguise of ‘Somalia and Unionism’(you) and ‘Somaliland and recognition’(XX), while I have not discovered in neither of your or XX thinking and writing a genuine ideological belief in those covers your potrating, but rather see only a naked form of ‘clan’ based political thinking, interest, ambitions and emotions, mostly ‘reactionary’ in nature and driven by ‘animosity’ to the ‘other’ supposed clan or group. 3) I never believed in the typical Somali thinking and clan mentality of ‘destruction’ and ‘deconstruction’ of what was there in order to achieve one’s goal and to build something new. No sir, you work with what you have to construct. What does that mean in terms of achieving unity or state building, you ask? That we don’t need to burn down the few public offices, services and existing local social contracts in Borama and Hargeisa, in order to achieve unity or to forge a new political system. 4) On ending the ‘secessionist’ political project, I think those that have constructed the project are doing that already and hardly need any encouragement from anyone. Don’t be fooled by the public silence, for its only silence before the gathering storm and rapture. And they feel that too, and hence seeing everywhere ghosts and enemies out there to destroy them, but eventually it’s the own schizophrenia that brings it to an end.

Somalia finally understands that Ethiopia was sabotaging the talks, as there was really a momentum for the talks last year.

Xaaji Xunjuf, you seriously want to invest in agriculture in Ethiopia, thereby producing investments, employment and currency for Ethiopia, instead you could have also invested in agriculture in Awdal, Gebiley, Erigavo, and all those other fertile lands thereby creating employment and investment for Somaliland, and on top of that kill Somalilands lifeline of Berbera Port, tax revenue for Somaliland government and employment generated directly and indirectly through the port? You can’t be serieus

Well I am still not in to party politics and never said things would improve with Wadani, but one has agreed to rules of the game and Kulmiye wants to change the rules of the game, and refusing to organise elections and wants to hold on to power. And we can see how power has corrupted every fiber of Somaliland society

You don’t get it, do you. Yes Somalia didn’t abide by its own agreement, but Somaliland government had more then 7 years to raise the issue. The fact that they are raising it now, when their mandate has ended and should be preparing for elections, shows it wasn’t important to them in the first place and now using populism to distract the public with this and any other issues they can throw at the public for distraction purposes, while they should be preparing for elections as their mandate(yes time) for the job has come to an end.

Timing is important, I am not blaming the people of Somaliland but I am blaming it’s regime that was elected for 5 years, now already in its 7th year, was elected for a duration of time to realize whatever politics, even if was to escalate issue or take any meaningful action. Same thing for so called Aqoonsi, for years the leadership hasn’t done anything significant in that direction. Its just not creditable as they were to busy in that time to robbing the place and using the government as a personal cash cow to fill the pockets of few and use the government as leverage for personal business deals in the last 6 years. And when they mandate (time given in power) has ended suddenly they play any populistic card to distract people from their actions and failed politics of the last 6 years, bombing civilians in las anod, losing the entire region and on top of that destroying the army. And now distracting people with air traffic control, SL getting aqoonsi, and deflecting with the boogie man of Somalia. Please Spare us the theatrics, and don’t think for a second that people’s silence all these years was due to ignorance, but rather of one patience and that seems to have come to an end now given the pressure suddenly one is feeling to produce daily new distractions and detractions. And no Ethiopian flag on the coast, electoral delays and extension, or renewed conflict will change any of the lost time, lost opportunities, it will only lead to greater embarrassment, greater failures and eventually a dead end road.

If you start thinking from their and your clan perspectives, opinions and interests, and you sell own clans native lands to foreign companies because it’s in your clans interest and good according to your own clans perspective. what’s holding back reer Awdal to do the same and sell to whatever foreign entity? Or others for that matter along that long coastal line where many clans have native lands? Where is the national interest markaa, ielen clan interest ayaa badashay national interest? I am just saying try to look at issues from a broader perspective then one’s own, specially when perspectives are one dimensionally clan held, as clans perspectives can change as easily.
