  1. Somalia contributes to the region negatively. 

    On the other hand, Somaliland contributes to the region positively. It sets an example of how to run a success stable and peaceful democracy in a very volatile and highly unstable region. Also as its economic grows and its infrastructure becomes on par with global leaders, it is becoming indispensable to the wider region. 

    With Raila Odinga favoured to win the President come this August, the relationship between Kenya and Somaliland  which goes as far back as colonial times when both countries shared many things including currency and travel documents (East Africa Shillings/Travel Documents), will only go higher and stronger from this forward. 

    It is for Somalia to take a hard look at itself and come to terms with reality. Otherwise more humiliating defeats are in store for it.

    Right the budget. With the Somali geopolitical location will never dry. Somaliland was receiving it for 22 years. SNM never shared with the other region they claim. That is how Hargeysa function. This time Moqdisho is also receiving with name federal government 

    Actually Hargeisa receives the lowest external support. In fact, according to budget paper, this year SL only expects 6m dollars from World Bank/IMF. That compared to Mogadishu expecting close $200m.

    Well done Tarzan. Hassan must teach a lesson to Kikuyus for interfering Somalia's internal affairs. Somalia has so many leverages against Kenya:

    1. We can create a rebel group that calls independence of NFD

    2.  No more Qat imports from Nairobi.

    3. Kikuyus are cowards so bring some of the Danab, Gorgor and God knows what animal names we have to the Somalia-Kenya border 😂. They will be crying like a baby I tell ya.

    The only thing that you will do for yourself is increase your trip time to Nairobi. And get humiliated in Wajeer regional airport for hours on end. Just ask Farmaajo 😂

    If Puntland includes the indirect foreign aid the budget would easily surpass £ 1 billion. Somaliland budget including direct foreign aid given to them for organising sham one man one vote is about as same as of that of Puntland at around $405 million.

    I perplexed that you actually take these seriously. The truth is far from it.

    Like Somaliland or FGS who publish complete revenue sources and categorise each source of income separately, Puntland doesn't do that - or at least doesn't publish that information. 

    They publish an obscure version of it where it is really hard to tell what is what and what not. I wonder why? 😂😂

    Anyway, here is what I found on their website for 2022 Budget PSS BUDGET APPROPRIATION ACT 2022

    In that document, they claim (take it a huge pint of salt) that the budget for 2022 is $137 million. Which is very far off what you have mentioned in your post. 😂

    #Somaliland Budget 2022  (Very explicitly shows where the income/revenue is coming from and how much)

    This is the FGS equivalent of the same paper which also shows the types of revenues and from which sources APPROPRIATION ACT FOR 2022 (BUDGET DRAFT)

    Again, I wonder why Puntland is unable to publish something that is similar that shows exactly how much they get from different sources? Care to explain?

    Warsos have it good in Puntland where there have been a big projects including longest high way in Somalia under way in Ceeldahir - Ceerigaabo. Many water wells have been built with the Puntland tax payers' money.  Maakhir University. Many government institutions have been established including Puntland parliament, many police stations and local authority buildings.

    We have @maakhiri1who could testify if the Warsos got anything other than the fat-end of the stick as far as their association with Garowe is concerned. 

    Deep down the Warsos know and understand that there is no better option for them but to face reality and head West to Hargeisa. Reality and tough environment will override the "Cadiifadda qabyaaladda"  - as the old Somali saying goes "Kol hadii fooli timaado guda-qarsiimo hadhay". 

    How Somaliland, both business community as well as government, responded to the current Drought sending over 2000 water tankers to East Sanaag region as well as providing food and machinery. That has shown the folks there that Hargeisa could do more if they actually welcomed Hargeisa's authority to their regions.

    Xiriirka Kenya iyo Soomaaliya: Muxuu danjire Tarsan uga baxay shirkii uu Uhuru u yeeray

    14 Daqiiqadood ka hor

    XIGASHADA SAWIRKA,PSCU

    Safiirka Soomaaliya ee Kenya Maxamuud Axmed Nuur Tarsan ayaa la sheegay inuu isaga baxay shir ay madaxtooyada Kenya isugu yeertay safiirada uu fadhigooda yahay dalka Kenya ka dib markii uu kulankaasi ku arkay masuuliyiin matalayay jamhuuriyadda iskeed ugu dhawaaqday madaxbanaannida ee Somaliland, sida ay sheegeen saraakiil ka tirsan safaarada Soomaaliya.

    Kenyatta ayaa maanta la yeelanayay diblomaasiyiinta kulankiisii ugu dambeeyay ka hor doorashada dalka Kenya ka dhaceysa bisha Agoosto ee sanadkan.

    Danjire Tarsan ayaa la sheeegay in markii uu goobta shirka tagay uu ku arkay calanka Somaliland iyo dad matalayay Somaliland taasi oo uu si weyn uga carooday, waxaana la sheegay inuu dalbaday in wax laga bedelo, kadibna danjiraha shirka ayuu kasoo baxay markii dalabkiisa uu socon waayay.

    Somaliland ayaa wakiil ku leh Nairobi, mana cadda mansabka uu wakiilkooda ku joogay shirkaasi.

    Kenya ayaa rasmi ahaan u aqoonsan Somaliland inay tahay gobol ka tirsan Soomaaliya. balse sanadihii dambe ayay Nairobi sare u qaaday xiriirka diblumaasiyadeed ee ay la leedahay Somaliland. Dowladda Soomaaliya ee uu hoggaaminayay Farmaajo ayaa marar badan ku eedeysay Kenya inay farogelin toos ah ku heysa arrimaha gudaha ee Soomaaliya. Kenya ayaa beenisay eedeyntaasi.

    Dowladda Kenya iyo Somaliland midkoodna kama hadlin arrintan u dambeysay. Laakiin wakiilada Somaliland u fadhiya Nayroobi ayaa xaqiijiyay inay casumaad ka heleen madaxtooyada Kenya.

    Kenyatta ayaa ku jira gabagabada muddo xileedkiisii u dambeeyay, waxaana Kenya ka socdo olole doorasho oo xoog leh.

    Waxaa doorashada soo socoto ku loolami doono, William Ruto oo hadda ah madaxweyne ku xigeenka Kenya iyo Raila Odinga oo hogaamiya xisbiga mucaaradka.


  6. This is the man, ninka looga cararay xafladii kulmisay safiiradda caalamka ee Madaxtooyadda Kenya.

    On a serious note, why would Somalia's Qooto-Qooto Ambassador, Ex-London Taxi Driver Tarzan, would make a scene out of this?

    I mean, come on, if he is going to run away from an event just b/c Somaliland's Ambassador and Flag are present, why not just run away from Nairobi as Somaliland's Embassy is fully accredited as an Embassy status. Just close down your Embassy and stop making yourself the butt of jokes. 

    But we know, it is a Qooto-Qooto style government just want to make a totally useless headline that means nothing.

  7. The old Somali proverb: Nin magaalo ka duday - yaa ku og ba?

     

    Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyata invited the Foreign Diplmats based in Nairobi including Somaliland Embassy staff and Somalia's Embassy Staff. Somalia's Ambassador walked off from the meeting after he saw the Somaliland diplmats and their flag clearly displayed among other nation states. 

    I am sure no one even felt Somalia's absence. Kolka maqnaansho haaga iyo joogi taankaagu isku midyahay, la isma waal waalo. aayar ayaa la iska fadhiista. 😁

    What issues? What are solutions to the issues they are supposedly facing?

     Well, issues like provide a single authority rule in these regions. Ability to implement the agreements to the word including enforce it by force. 

    If Warsos agree to come fully under Somaliland authority, then the Somaliland government has the ability to make sure that these regions are fully within Somaliland. That means, making sure that PL's authority is fully dislodged from the Warsos' regions. 

    That same cannot be said with Garowe. B/c neither Garowe nor Mogadishu has the ability to enforce any agreement. It is just lip service.

    DEG DEG: Safiirka Soomaaliya ee dalka Kenya Maxamed Tarsan ayaa ka baxay kulan casumaad ah oo Madaxweynaha Kenya Uhuru Kenyata usameeyey safiirada dalkiisa kusugan, ka dib markii ay Dawladda Kenya kulanka kucasuntay xubno kasocda Somaliland, gaar ahaana u qaabilsan dalka Kenya, una aqoonsatay Safiirnimo, sidaas oo kalena lays bar-bardhigay Kuraasta ay fariisanayaan labada dhinac, madasha waxaa lakeenay Calanka Soomaaliya iyo kan Somaliland oo isbarbar-yaala.

    Taas oo kadhigan in ay Kenya u aqoonsato Somaliland Dal kamid ah dalalka ay casuntay ee safiirada, taas oo ay kacarootay dawladda Faderaalka.

    Safiirka Soomaaliya ayaa kabaxay shirka, waxaan dhambaal deg deg ah la gaarsiiyey Villa Soomaaliya, taas oo ay safaarada Soomaaliya ku cadeynayso ficilada Kenya ee ka dhan ah madax banaanida dalka.

    Kenya, xariirka ay la leedahay Soomaaliya ayaa xumaa 4-tii sanno ee lasoo dhaafay sababo la xariira kuxadgudubka Dhulka, Hawada iyo Badda Soomaaliyeed, taas oo ay Muqdisho kuhakisay xariirka kuna diiday ficilada Kenya ee hareer-marsan sharciyada caalamiga ah, waxayna Nairobi horey u doonaysay in ay qaadato qeyb kamid ah Badda Soomaaliya, taas oo aysan wali aqbalin go’aankii Maxkamadda.

    Why all SOMALILANDERS flocking to Mogadishu? Massive economic development 

    There is a lot of donor money flooding the city - close to 700m dollars from foreign donors. So probably that is where they are all going. 

    In the end, donor money is not reliable. It depends on KPI that is given and if achieved, then more $$$ are released, if not achieved then that money just disappears in thin air and will never be released.

    A start.  The tribal federalism in the South is almost cemented. It will move north. It is only natural and inevitable for H@rti to ask for their own state and they will.

     

    You surely think what happens in Somalia has any relevance inside Somaliland? tough luck. 

    The Warsos & Dhulous   inside Somaliland's borders have to look towards Hargeisa. Looking to Mogadishu or Garowe is Dead on Arrival. 

     


  12. @Che -Guevara

    Khaatumo is a living example of that path. :D 

     

    @Samafal

    With regards to your comments about Somaliland, all I would say is, don't be fooled by SL's cut-throat competitive politics. And for the record, no one transfers power to another in Somaliland. The Presidency is elected through a popular vote. Whoever wins the vote becomes the President. I know it is a foreign thing for you to comprehend it. 

    With regards to President Muse Biihi getting some mixed reception, that is what healthy democracy looks like.

    As with Puntland, it is not just my conclusions, I think the gallery here also agrees with me - the Puntland's better days are long long gone. This will become more apparent in the years to come. So sit tight and strap your belts.  

    You mentioned about PL Budget getting tripled over the years. Give me a break. The actual figures say otherwise. Here is the consolidated Report by Somalia's Finance Ministry for 1st Quarter revenue 2022. You can also find similar reports for previous quarters of 2021/2020. 

    Puntland generates less than 6m USD/month from local tax revenue. Embarrassing .  That is equivalent to the tax generated from Awdal region in Somaliland. 😂 

    The 800 soldiers who General Nuux Taani Fired back in 2020 are today back in Erigavo, this time they are desperate, they have not been paid by PL for months. They thought the grass was greener across the border, boy o boy. :D  Trust me, they know this time it is not a free lunch, they will have take the orders from Hargeisa and implement it on the ground.

    Despite not being fully under SL authority, yet, Somaliland government builds schools, pays teachers and nurses for MCHs across the Eastern Sanaag region. Also SL gov't implemented many probject including the Solar Power project for Badhan, a number of deep wells with Generators. etc. 

    If E.Sanaag are fully incorporated into Somaliland, then a lot more will be done.

    Reerkaan waxba ka dheefi maysaan. Just listen to Nuux Taano's speech other day and how he is frustrated with them. That is because Reerkan have reer Bari traits. No matter what they could not bought out. 

    Wixii hore tuur. Xisaabti way is bedeshay. Shirkan reerka ayaa dal-baday inay fully usoo digo rogtaan dhanka SL oo wax la qaybsadaan. 

    This comes after realisation that they, as a clan, have no political significance in PL, in SL or in Mogadishu. And the fact that PL itself is in decline phase and has no feasible outlook that things will get any better there if not get worse. 

    This is their last chance to board the Somaliland train which is in full steam ahead both in its economic outlook, it is diplomatic outlook and its miilitary prowess. 

    Somaliland only needed political support at the clan level before it moves into new regions and delivers tangible changes both in terms of service delivery, security and governance/authority. 

     


  14. This time it is different. East Sanaag as a clan want to take their historical role in Somaliland, as an important clan both in terms of urbanisation and economy. 

    We welcome this and Somaliland as a nation is equal before everyone. You just have to do your best to in the competition and you shall reap the rewards of your efforts.

    The International world order has been challenged by Russia invasion of Ukraine and nothing ever gone be same. The road map that was created by the winners of war world II is dead because they never allowed others to be invited and modernize the system. This will have huge impact around the world and Somalia as well. No one can predict how the things will go for the next 30 years. The old system will not survive any longer. Hassan may bring  extended Banaadir state  or just Banaadir state . If Putland agree we may have Khaatumo+makahir state. as well the last colonized region of Somalia and the one British offered independent but Sayid refused.

     

    Russia is all but done with. It is a shell of its former self. They are screaming like a third-world country to let ease the sanctions placed on her. 

    Sooner or later Putin will be taken care of from within. 

    The AUKUS alliance has no match in this world.

    China will be contained under the "Quad Alliance" (US+JP+AU+IN) + EU.

    In the next 10 - 20 years, the US and UK dominance will be cemented. Hands down.

    Somaliland has plugged itself into this alliance along with Taiwan. We are in good company. 


  16. @Arafaat

    This is the dominant sect of the pseudo Unionists. The so called Khaatumo want to carve up their own clan enclave so do others. 

    Those who want the return of the 1960 type of union again but different version of of it - are minority voices. 

     

    @Che -Guevara

    Ever heard of the difference between "local news" and "International News". What you just tweeted about is local news. A demonstration took place and some people got injured. That sort of news plays out all around the world every single day.🤔

    One thing you will never hear about from Somaliland news like this:
