@Abtigiisparades what he calls 800 captured Alshabab. Me think, these are D&M nomads abducted from the country-side. @Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaarwhat do you think of Abtigiis's claims here. Do these look like Alshabab fighters or civilians?

Saylici is loyal, for sure. Which is expected from any functioning government. Unlike the dysfunctional Qooto-Qooto governments in South Somalia. A PM or VP and his President cat fighting for 4 or 5 years nonstop like teenage girls. Mana heshiiyaan, mana kala tagaan.

Thy are Ahmed Karaash #1 and #2.

Ethiopia is toothless without Western Political/Financial cover. So these warlords in South Somalia who think they can count on Ethiopia as they used to, need to think twice. Because Ethiopia, under Abiye, is no longer the West's darling. Roobow will become the leader of SW State. That is because the UK has a plan. This plan also includes the UK funded/trained soldiers which apparently have graduated today (**not coincidence**). The only folks who pose serious problems for HSM are the GalMudug folks. It seems HSM has equitably given HG clan a fair share of his administration to keep them quiet. On the International front, the UK/US/Arab League/UAE are fully behind HSM. So is Djibouti and Kenya. I don't think PL, which is broke, and Lafta-Gareen who placed all his eggs on Farmaajo's sunk boat or the Gedo folks, who are nobody, can pose any serious threat to HSM. With Lafta Gareen gone (soon), PL will tow the line.

It is not the clans that is the issue. It is the fact that Garowe wants to move some villages which are part of Boocame district and move it under Garowe control. That is the issue. Under Siyad Barre's regime, a whole junk of South Sool was given to Nugal Region. Somaliland border runs along the red line, which is about 7km outside of Garowe.

Reer Boocame ayagaa dalbaday in Calanka Somaliland hoos yimaadaan, ciidanka Qarankuna Xadka uu ilaaliyo. That is the job of the National Army. This comes after PL clans tried to annex parts of Southern Sool into Nugaal region.

Berbera Port is already making its mark on the region. In a recent World Bank survey of port performance, only Djibouti and Salalah Port were ahead in the rankings. Berbera Port was ahead of all other ports in the region including Kenya's flag ship port of Mombassa, Yemen's Aden Port and Port Saed in Sudan, just to name a few. ---- DELAYS MAKING MOMBASA PORT LOSE TRADE TO RIVALS Delays making Mombasa port lose trade to rivals WWW.THE-STAR.CO.KE Congestion and poor management are also costing it

SomTuna to open doors in Berbera. Probably one of the largest Tuna process plants in Africa. At its full capacity, it can process 400 tons of Tuna each day. It is assumed that 3000 people will be directly employed at the factory. It will also create an additional 12 - 15 thousand indirect employment. A huge feat, in my opinion. SomTuna will operate its own fleet of Fishing-trawlers up-to 100 Ton.

Reer Waqooyi generally don't flip-flop, specially the IQ clan.

Reverse take over.

This is really absurd. Why is it taking more than 2 months to publish the new cabinet? I mean, being a Minister in Mogadishu is anything but just a "Label". Majority of so called ministries do not have any function or discharge any service at all. If this tells us anything, it is that HSM and Hamze are at logger heads. Which is a very bad start.

I don't hate no one. I just have opinions that is contrary to yours. You or anybody for that matter can have their own opinion. The opinion needs to be based on 1. Facts or 2. your best assessment of something taking into account many things. For most of my comments here, it is a combination of the above. Again, I could be wrong, but it is just my assessment based on what I know and what I have read/watched/listened to from knowledgeable people of the subject matter. I have no problems whatsoever if you haven an opinion of Somaliland which is based on your best assessment of the situation. Having said that, with regards to Liyuu Poolice, you have to remember they are not an independent organsation. They are under tutelage of Addis Abeba and whatever Addis Abeba wants overrides what Liyuu Poolice really want to say or say not. So lets wait until we have further more independent sources to verify or deny the claims made. Already there are reports saying contrary to Ethiopian version. ------------------------------- Xog: Xaaladda Fu’aad Shongole iyo waxa ka jira arrinta ay sheegatay Itoobiya By Zahra Axmed Gacal July 30, 2022 in Warar Muqdiaho (Caasimada Online) – Sida ay Caasimada Online u xaqiijiyeen xubno ka tirsan qoyskiisa, waxaa nool Fu’aad Maxamed Khaliif (Fu’aad Shangole) oo ka mid ah madaxda ugu sareysa Al-Shabaab, kaas oo dowladda Itoobiya ay xalay shaacisay inay dishay. Sidoo kale Caasimada Online waxay baaritaanka xogtan ku ogaatay in Fu’aad Shangole uu soo gaaray dhaawac fudud oo sababay in loo qaado magaalada Jilib ee gobolka Jubada Dhexe, halkaas oo hadda lagu dabiibayo xaaladiisa caafimaad. Fu’aad Shangole ayaa ku dhaawacmay dagaal culus oo Jimcihii ay Al-Shabaab ku qaadeen degnaaka Aato ee gobolka Bakool oo dhaca xuduuda gobolkaasi uu la wadaago dowlad deegaanka Soomaalida, halkaasi oo ay kula dagaalameen ciidamada Liyuu Boolis. Sidoo kale Cabdicasiis Abuu Muscab oo ah afhayeenka howlgallada Al-Shabaab oo ka mid ahaa xubnihii ay Itoobiya sheegtay inay ku dishay dagaalka ayaa soo hadlay, isagoo sheeganaya guulo ay ka gaareen dagaalkii ay ciidamada Liyuu Boolis kula galeen degaanka Aato. Fu’aad Shangole ayaa ah madaxa abaabulka iyo tashkiilinta dagaalyahanada Al-Shabaab, sidoo kale Shangole wuxuu kamid yahay madaxda Al-Shabaab ee dowladda Mareykanka ay madaxooda dul dhigtay malaayiinta dollar. Madaxa Sirdoonka Itoobiya Major General Tesfaye Ayalew ayaa xalay Wakaalada Wararka Itoobiya ee Ethiopian News Agency u sheegay inay dileen sedaxdaan hoggaamiye oo kala ah Fu’aad Shangole, Abuu Muscab iyo Cubeyda Nuur Ciise oo la sheegay inuu yahay madaxa Al-Shabaab u qaabilsan abaabulka ay kooxdu ka wado xuduudka dowlad deegaanka iyo Gobalka Bakool ee Soomaaliya. Todobaadkii tegay Fu’aad Shangole warbaahinta kula hadlay duleedka degaanka Aato ee gobolka Bakool, wuxuu xiligaas u khudbeynayey dagaalyahano badan oo ka tirsan Al-Shabaab, wuxuuna ku goodinayey inay isku diyaariyaan weerarro culus oo ka dhan ah ciidamada Itoobiya.

I highly doubt what is being reported by Liyu Bolise. They are not known as a source of truth. These claims by South West News that Liyu Police rounded up D&M nomads and labelled them as Alshabab, also lends to the fact that Liyuu Police cannot be trusted as a source.

Alshabab says they have destroyed Liyuu Poolice camp near Aato in an early morning attack today. ---- Al-Shabaab oo sheegasho yaab leh kasoo saartay dagaalkii maanta ee Liyuu Boolis By Asad Cabdullahi Mataan July 29, 2022 in Warar Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Kooxda Al-Shabaab ayaa guulweyn ka sheegatay dagaalka maanta dib uga qarxay deegaanka Aato ee gobolka Bakool ee dhexmaraya kooxdaas iyo ciidamada Liyuu Boolis ee gobolka Soomaalida Itoobiya. Al-Shabaab ayaa xaqiijisay in dagaalka ay qaadeen dagaalyahanada kooxdaas, kuwaas oo sida ay sheegtay, beegsaday saldhigyo ay ciidamada Liyuu Boolis ku lahaayeen deegaanka Aato ee gobolka Bakool. Afhayeenka ciidamada Al-Shabaab Sheekh Cabdicasiis Abu Muscab, ayaa sheegtay “inay cagta mariyeen saldhigyadii ciidamada Liyuu Boolis ayna dileen in ka badan 100 askari, tiro intaas ka bandanna ay dhaawaceen.” “Waxaan duullaan ku qaadnay maleeshiyaatka ku sugnaa deegaanka Aato ee Bakool, dagaal adag oon la galnay cadawga waxaan kaga qabsanay saldhigii ay ku jireen,” ayuu Sheekh Cabdicasiis Abu Muscabu u sheegay idaacadda Andalus ee kooxda. “Khasaaraha hordhaca ah ee aragnay waa dhimashada 103 ka tirsan maleeshiyada Liyuu Boolis ee xabashi kalkaalka ah, waxaa jira dhaawacyo badan oo ay dhulka baadiyaha ah ku firxaday, sidoo kale waxaan kasoo qabanay maxaabiis,” ayuu yiri. Maamulka Gobolka Soomaalida ayaan weli wax war ah kasoo saarin dagaalka cusub. Maamulka wuxuu horey u sheegtay in dagaaladii maalmihii tegay dhex-maray labada dhinac ay kooxda Al-Shabaab uga dileen in ka badan 250 dagaal-yahan. Al-Shabaab ayaa dhanka kale sheegtay inay sidoo kale iska caabiyeen diyaaradah dagaalka Itoobiya oo kasoo qeyb-galay dagaalka, sida ay hadalka u dhigtay. Dadka deegaanka ayaa warbaahinta u sheegay inuu dagaalka saakay saameyay dhamaan dhaqdhaqaaqyadii gaadiidka dadweynaha, ganacsiga iyo isku socodka dadka, islamarkaana wali xaalad kacsanaan ah laga dareemayo gudaha deegaankaasi. Waa markii labaad oo degaanka Aato uu dagaal ku dhexmaray Ciidamada liyuu Boolis iyo Al-Shabaab muddo ka yar laba toddobaad gudahood, waxaana todobaadkii hore sidaan oo kale ay Al-Shabaab ay weerareen degaanka Aato ayaga oo kadibna gudaha u galay gobolka Soomaalida.

Alshabab have many tricks up their sleeves. If they indeed decided to go inside Ethiopia, then they have no better time to do it than now. In fact, the most experienced Ethiopian army is no longer stationed in the eastern regions. They were all transferred to protect the capital from both Oromo and TPLF. What is left on this side are just cannon-fodder type - people in uniform but have no idea what they are fighting for or who they are fighting. The Liyo Poolice may pose some resistance but they are il-equipped and have no much resource. If Alshabab (This is a big if) wants to take the war to inside Ethiopia, in my opinion, there is very little stopping it. I would take a huge pint of salt with Cagjar's claims. And also the talk about creating a Buffer zone similar Kenya's Jubaland buffer zone, is non-starter. Ethiopia is too stretched thin to be able to carry that out. They would probably become sitting ducks if they move a lot more soldiers without clear plans or structures behind.

When I said that comment, it was from my assessment. This is what Yuusuf Garaad, Ex-Somalia Foreign Minister. Imagine, when what is happening in Villa Somalia is known in Addis Abeba before the occupier of Villa Somalia himself knows about it? ------------ Xog Hoose ma ku siiyaa? Waa haddii Sadarrada qoran keligood aanad akhrin ee dhexdooda aad kala bixi karto inta ku hoos qarsoonaan karta. Akhris wacan. Waa habeenkii la dilay Saaxiibkeey, Wasiir Cabbaas Siraaji iyo hadal habeenkaa dhex maray Hoggaamiyayaashii Soomaaliya iyo Ethiopia oo labaduba markaa ka dib laba xilli oo kala duwan uu midba mar waayay xilalkiisii. Waa horraantii bishii Meey 2017. Waa Addis Ababa. Waxaan fadhiyaa casho sharaf si qurxoon loo soo agaasimay oo uu Ra’iisal Wasaarihii Ethiopia, Xayle Mariam, uu ku casuumay Madaxweynihii Soomaaliya, Maxamed Farmaajo iyo wafdigiisa oo isugu jiray Wasiirro aan ka mid ahay, Xildhibaanno iyo mas’uuliyiin kale oo sare. Miisas uu mid kastaa qaab goobo ah u sameysan yahay oo teel teel u yaalla ayaa mid kasta waxaa fadhiya mas’uuliyiin isku dhaf ah oo inta badan isu dhigma ugu yaraan derejo ahaan oo Soomaali iyo Ethiopian ah. Miiska ugu mudan oo ka durugsan inta kale waxaa fadhiya Madaxweyne Farmaajo iyo Marwadiisa, oo uu dhexeeyo Ra’iisal Wasaaraha Ethiopia oo ay marwadiisu wehliso, Wasiirkii Arrimaha Dibadda ee Ethiopia iyo aniga oo dhiggiisa ahaa. Waa inta aanuu nagu soo biirin Madaxweynihii Ismaamulka Soomaalida, Cabdi Cumar. Jawi qurxoon oo kaftan taxaddar leh iyo sheekooyin noo socday ayaa mar qura hakad galay, ka dib markii miisaskii naga fogaa mid ka mid ah uu ka soo kacay howlwadeen ka mid ah Habmaamuuska Madaxweynaha. Telefoon khadka ku jira oo uu gacanta ku siday ayuu u dhiibay Madaxweynaha. Waxaa isaguna soo kacay Sanbaloolshe, oo markaa ahaa Taliyaha Nabad Sugidda, wuxuuna dhegta iigu sheegay in la dilay Wasiir Cabbaas Siraaji. Waxaan weydiiyay cidda dishay? Wuxuu ii sheegay in Ciidanka Dowladda gacantooda uu ku baxay Wasiirku. Markii uu Sanbaloolshe iga tegey ka dib ayuu Madaxweynuhu dhammaystay telefoonkii uu ku hadlayay, Isaga oo aammusan ayuu i soo eegay. Aniga oo af Soomaali kula hadlaya ayaan weydiiyay su’aal: Madaxweyne, Wasiirka la dilay miyaa laguu sheegay? Markii uu ii jawaabay ayaan u jeediyay in uu mas’uulka la fadhiya la wadaago, maaddaama uu warku dibadda u soo bixi doono. Markii uu mar labaad iga hubsaday in ay sidaasi ila habboon tahay ayuu u sheegay Haile Mariam. Aniguna waxaan u sheegay Wasiirkii Arrimaha Dibadda Ethiopia oo i garab fadhiyay. Madaxweynaha iyo aniguba waxaan helnay isku jawaab. “Waan ogahay” ayay ahayd jawaabtii Madaxweynaha dhegta loogu dhibciyay, oo la mid ahayd tii aniga la i siiyay. Laba ruux ayaa soo kacay si Madaxweynaha iyo aniga naloo wargeliyo in Wasiirkeennii la dilay. Cid soo kacday oo Ethiopian ahi ma jirin, Ra’iisal Wasaaraha iyo Wasiirkana horteen ayaa lagu wargeliyay dilka Wasiirka Soomaaliya. Safarkayagii waan soo gaabinnay, waagu markii uu beryayna waxaan u soo duulnay Muqdisho, waxaana ii suurta gashay in aan ka qeybgalo shirkii Golaha Wasiirrada ee dilka Wasiirka looga warbixiyay loogana arrinsaday. Dilka habeenkaa ka dhacay Muqdisho iyo hadalladii miiska Sare ee Addis Ababa la isku weydaarsaday ee aan kula wadaagay, akhristow ka feker oo u qaado shaqo guri.

These are some of the lasting issues from dark chapter of Somaliland. Afwayne and his junta left Somaliland with nothing.

Cement is one of the top 10 commodities that Somaliland currently imports. If Somaliland can eliminate the top 10 things it imports by manufacturing them in the country, that would go a long way in balancing the Trade.

Selling public lands and disputing ownership of public lands are two separate and completely unrelated issues. Yes, the government can sell the land or rent it out or just keep it. That is the Gov't of the Day's decisions. Are these decisions good for the country or bad for the country? The electorate need to answer these questions.

Whichever end you are pulling your stories, let me tell you, it is not helping you. Qurbaha waa lagu asaasaqa. Somaliland meel fawdo ah maha. That, I don't need to tell you. You can go there and try it for yourself. I give you that, a lot of public land were also came under dispute. Heck, I know some people who laid claims to Xero-military. That is what happens when the original records are no longer there. Even your original neighbour since yonks - will claim your land. The people whose lands are being claimed are majority those in Europe who left the country and only returned probably after 2000s. And those who are claiming are those who never left the country - kuwii kadiido usoo cabay. Dhul iska banaan oo mudo cidi lahayd ka maqnayd, qof walba waa hunguriyaynaya. After all, Somalidu waa opportunist sida xoolaha ayay isku dabo yaacdaa. Case in point, imagine the Somali in your own city in Canada found a loop-hole somewhere where they somehow can get free Government money. I am sure even the biggest Somali Sheekh will try his luck and get that Free money. Somalidu way is dabo yaacdaa. Even honest godfearing men fall for it due to "Ka gaadhsii inta aan lagaa xidhin". Btw, I am neither going to admit or deny your assertion that I am Oodweyne. Taa adiga iyo dadka kale ayay u taala. It doesn't bother me at all whichever you decide. waa kuu mubaax marinka doonta

Your understanding is wrong. You've heard of what happened in South Somalia, specially in Banadir Region, Shabeeloyinka and Jubooyinka. And now you are trying to apply the same story on Somaliland? kkk Crazy In Somaliland, the majority (99%) of land dispute is inside Urban area. And the great majority of these disputes is between family members (extended family) or from the same sub-sub-clan (Jufo hoose). The root cause of the issue was due to the Afwayne regime which burned down all land records, specially Hargeisa. This gave way to the raise of the famous "Ku Qabso Ku Qadi mayside". Or just lay claims to it, in the end you will get something out of it (either bribe or portion of it). The height of this issue was back in early 2000s. You hardly hear land dispute these days. Speaking of burning down public records and looting Hargeisa city. If we compare what happened in Eritrea/Ethiopia, it is total opposite. The Derg regime was in consistent contact with the opposition and whenever it was leaving cities, it would inform them so the time for lack of authority is minimised. For example, if you read what happened in Asmara, it is text book example of patriotism. The Amhara forces and Amhara institutions locked all public buildings and left as the EPRDF approached the city and assumed authority.

Are Somaliland Businesses ready to take advantage of the soon to open Berbera Corridor which is expected to generate close to $300m dollars annually.

Almost every single businessman whose name is known in Somaliland started from humble beginning. Dahabshiil owner used to own a small shop selling lollies in Burco, later upgraded to a Bakhaar, and later started the money transfer business during the 1980s. Mohamed Aw Siciid, another tycoon, started with just one truck in Djibouti. Now MSG Group is one of the largest businesses in the Horn of Africa. The same goes with every single one of them. In the last few years, we have seen the owner of Sagal Jet transform a small printing business he started while student in Hargeisa University so his friends can print and copy textbooks. Sagal Jet now is one of the largest Office related supplier and printing/branding Houses in the Horn of Africa, with branches in Djibouti, Somaliland, Ethiopia. Today, I have another successful young entrepreneur. The owner of Adan 19 Ice-creamery. He was a school drop out due to the death of his father. He was forced to leave school and earn money for the family. Today, Adan 19 is a millionaire employing close to 100 people.

Jimcaale is very popular in North, specialy in Hargeisa area. Not so much as a first name but as an associate name to the given name. For example, if your name that is given is Ahmed but you were born on a Friday. Then your local name is Ahmed Jimcaale. We don't just give Jimcaale as a firstname alone. Anyway, Jamal Ahmed (Jimcaale) is the son of the first SNM Chairman Ahmed Mohamed Guuleed (Ahmed Jimcaale). Also another differentiator in naming is the "Mucalim". In the South Mucalim is used as a given name. In Somaliland, Mucalim is just a title. Mualim Yusuf. Hassan Mualim Yusuf. Not just Hassan Mualim.

First of all, this is a very unfortunate death. I am not going to support one way or the other in this case as I do not have enough information. But generally speaking, this is not something that usually happens in Hargeisa. Suicides usually happen by self hanging oneself from a tree or ceilings. But someone to take his own life using a gun is very unusual and I have not even heard that happen before. This needs to be investigated as the evidence is very sketchy. The police shouldn't reach conclusions very fast.
