    The Goocajade front has been very slow, but that's cuz Sland does not control anywhere else that is inhibited by Dhulos. Goojacade is the last stand and it is the last stand for Biixi who will keep pouring in more men, mainly youngsters that are brought by clans and given a couple of months of training.

    What is happening in Laascaanood is not between two conventional military. It is ragtag of melitia who have diverging agenda but all are united to oppose Somaliland. These melitia include former civilians - now-turned-clan-melitia, Harti clan melitia, Daarood melitia from as far as Garrissa and Gedo. 

    The important thing here is that, Somaliland Army is where exactly the same positions as it was on the 6th of Feb when Hargeisa decides to pull the Army out of Laascaanood Urban areas - to give peace talks a chance. 

    All said and done, the Anti-Somaliland groups have completely failed to move the needle in any of defensive positions East, North or West of Laascaanood. And as far as I can tell, they are more or less a spent force.

    The initiative is now with Somaliland Army to do what is necessary on its own terms.

    Poor Galbeedi,

    You wished what is happening in Garowe was happening in Hargeisa. Granted the political situation in Hargeisa is tense, but that is where it ends. In the end, the NEC will declare the elections dates and everyone will get in line. 

    The un-filtered politics in Hargeisa is like a psychological thriller for anti-Somaliland groups. But the continueing suspense of of an impending disaster with no apparent hope of ever materilising into actionable items - must be a real disappoint for a lot of them.  

    Whenever the enemies of Somaliland think something big is about to happen that is really really bad. The opposite actually takes place, Somaliland rises like a pheonix. What a disappointment. :D

    If you are pinning your hopes on disunity among reer SSC and what might and might not happen in Garowe, Sland might as well pack its bags.

     

    The "Unity" shown for SSC not by just Harti but also across Daarood clans from NFD to DDSI, has not materialised anything meaningful on the ground. Yes, it may have galvanised fighters to pour into the front lines. But that has not changed a single thing on the ground including the Front line itself. 

    I can confidently say that the so called SSC uprising has all but failed to change the status-quo. And from this day forward, it is only going to get tougher for them. 

    In fact, I am giving them only few more months, by end of October, for substantial re-adjustment and defections.

    What is obviously clear is that, they are going through their toughest time both financially, politcally and militarily.

    They have now been boxed into the Garowe bandwagon. And if history is any guide, Garowe is going to be their deathbed. 

    From here forward, you will witness the defections and the indivitual clans looking after their own interests.

    Haye, sharad ma dhiganeysaa in four to five weeks Muuse Muqayil isku arki doonaan marfishkiisa?

    It is not whether she is coming or not, but it is about the agenda of why she is coming. If she is regurgitate the same thing, then she needs to gas out somewhere else. Because we are not entertaining pulling Somaliland forces out. Over my dead body.

    Muuse cunaqabateeyn baa saarey, she will not waste her time with him

    Poor. Actually, it is the other way round, she was desperate to come but Hargeisa if what she is coming there is more of the same, then she better save her time for someone else. Which is why she redirected it to Addis Abeba.

    If C/risaq Khaliif is appointed premier he will be welcomed automatically throughout the land

    Deni's time is up. The whole Garowe conflict is due to Deni trying to extend his term beyond Jan next year, so he can try to bog down HSM's administration. HSM understands this and hence why he named one of Faroole's sons as close advisor. 

    HSM and Deni - as the saying goes "fiinta ayaa ka dhex ciyaysa" which means, they don't even talk i.e. Deni's boycott of the Baydhabo meeting of regional states and Villa Somalia. 

    Having said that, Khaliif is a weakling. I don't think he has a future in politics.

    Give the man his dues. He turned habro into squealing little girls frothing like over-steamed milk.

    It was not the man, it was the title and position he was holding that was a big deal. 

    At least give SL the credit as well. A man absent from his position for 1/2 year and still holding on to his title.

    You see, if this was happening anywhere other than Somaliland, he wouldn't have lasted 1 day. In fact, even if he was on the ground inside the Parliament, what happened to Ex-Speaker of Puntland Parliament could have happened to him as well, where the speakers personal body guards were gunned down inside Parliament building and while their dead body was still laden in the yard, a new speaker was announced by Deni himself and all the opposition parliamentarians were given their marching orders and stripped of their title - all in a 1 day's work. 

    On the other hand, in Somaliland, even traitor like Khaliif still had his day in a Court Room.

    Are not your wounds still too fresh for you to be engaging in bagardiscio? Illayn indha adayg looma dhinto!  I still remember what you dhal marqaan used to say some years ago, and I shall just put this down as yet another bravado.

    Not too sure what you are on about? don't hold back.

    Back at the start of the LA conflict I posted my 2 cents on how things will transpire in the next 5 - 6 months.

    Some folks even attacked me when I said the political & economical situation in Puntland will dictate if/when Hiil-H@rti melitia will pack their bags and return. Exactly as I said, the majority of Hiil H@rti clan melitia returned back to their original homes. 

    The old Somali adage went "xabaal iyo ninkeed loo kala tag". The Laascaanood Garaads are going through their toughest time as I write this. They have run out money, run out of fighting men (I mean those who really wanted to fight are majority dead). 

    The SL Army is now making its final preparations for a full scale attack.

    The same ina Botan Rooraaye, who started his morning splinter from Tukaraq, then started spitting threats in Gambadhe only to dash past Gooja cadde? Is that the same ina Botan, whom last I heard was recovering from bullet wounds in a hospital? That same Rooraaye? Pray do tell it is not so.

    Gen. Faysal made his mark, that is all counts. The Tukaraq pull out was voluntary defensive decision.

    The LA issue was not a conventional military conflict. It was a fluid situation where the civilian and the armed person were not distinguishable.  

    So until the dust settled and we understood exactly what we are confronting, it was a good move for the Army to retreat to positions that are safe and within reach of the supplies.

    The Army is still exactly the same positions that it retreated to back in 5th of Feb. The failure of the attacking side to claim victory in any of the positions that the Army is holding, says a lot about the attackers than the defending side. 

    Since now the situation is stabilized and the fronts are more or less known, the treat is identified, the Army is now preparing to go on the offensive. 

    The Army is returning to Tukaraq, lets see if you can defend it.

    Maan, the secessionist's gleeful posts today waa laga jajabiyey, suu filaaye markee noqon weysay. Qof Soomaali sheeganaayo ku farxaayo Soomaali isdileyso - qabyaalad qabyaalad dhashay iga dheh.

    There is one reason why top 10 posts on Somalia Online are all about Somaliland. It is ok by us. 

    It seems the consistent Habaar towards Somaliland just makes a u-turn back to the source. :D

    The root issue in Garowe are deeper than you think. Deni wants to break the Hagbad and deny the CM their turn come January next year. The CM will not allow that and will do whatever it takes. 

    In the end, the CM will get what they want come hell or high water. Whether they make alliances with Hargeisa or otherwise.

    Earlier in the morning, opposition militias got wind of the Parliamentary proceedings continuing, initiated assault, and have since been subdued, with their being brought under control. Most of the militias have since been taken in, with some still in the wind, but their leader, Jimcaale is being sought.

     

    Don't count out. SL damaged Jimcaale's melitia back in April, most of his heavy weapons were seized by General Faysal Cabdi Botan. 

    In the event that The Farooles seek help from their maternal uncles in Hargeisa, we can always make deals, including returning the heavy weapons that were captured and release the PoWs. 

    So again, don't count him out.
