    That was not the point really. We know the UN is useless in many ways. But it has been a solid partner "Diplomatically" with Mogadishu. I think you underestimate how much the UN has done in terms of trying to put together Humpty-Dumpty that is South Somalia. You can not blame the UN for the warlordism, factionalism, terrorism, Islamism, Clannism, etc. That is inherantly South Somalia's traits. 

    What I am referring here to is the unprofessional conducts of the rookie Cheeseman.  What soverneigty are you trying to keep? when your a*hole can be seen from the outter space.  First, cover the a*hole, before you worry about putting on a tie.

     

    It is the job of the UN to decide who should be the leader of South West and I guess you don't find strange that they were advocating for former AlShabaab Robow who has blood on his hands. In fact the UN official exceeded his authority and they is why the secretary general quickly replaced him.  One thing I an agree with you is that the Federal government should get its act together and concentrate on defeating AlShabaab and removing Amisom and all foreigners armies from the South.


  2. Suldaanka is reduced to trolling. Forget your infatuation with anything western , they will never teach you what is right and what is wrong.

    The UN has failed Somalia and it is about time Somali leaders should rely  on their own people "Waa inay sku tashadaan". Turkey in one year has done more to rebuild Mogadishu than the UN did in 25 years as one UN official admitted.

    I don’t see what the fuss is all about.

    Unfortunately Farmaajo and Kheyre, like most inept and myopic Somali politician who look out for their own political longevity  have every right to wait out the elections of the respective Federal member states and to see how things play themselves and maybe help out financial in some cases(militarily, in others) politicians whom they feel will aid them at the regional level in their bid to get re-elected in the next national elections. This should be understandable and expected, after all  the saying goes” gaal dil gartiisana dill..”, whether or not they will succeed in this endeavor is a different question all together, as I plan to show y’all in here.

    Let us quickly discuss their successes and failures at winning over the Federal member states so far.

    Take Galmudug for instance, where we seem to have a temporary stalemate brewing. Clearly the Xaaf administration has dug itself in a somewhat formidable redoubt so far and has mustered enough support locally to wait out Farmajo and  Kheyre  advances until the duo leave office in the next election.

    In Jubaland: President Axmad has the upper hand politically —although he still has an election to campaign for—and what better way to take a step closer to a re-election than liberating the State capital of Bu’ale.

    Naturally Farmaajo’s desperate attempts to muddy up this —much awaited for—liberation of the state capital using a very poorly thought out strategy of fanning up the dying embers of tribalism in Jubaland is doomed to fail, and it is President Axmed ball to drop in this political tangle and tussle with the Farmajo administration.

    Now let’s move to the so-called successes that supporters of the Farmajo and Kheyre administration keep ululating and cheering for: HirShabelle and SouthWest states.

    In Southwest State where Farmaajo and Kheyre, after forcefully and shamefully suppressing the will of the local population there seem to have succeeded thus far  in getting their man selected into the presidency in Baidoa, but any right thinking individual will know that this is nothing more than Pyrrhic victory for Farmajo and Kheyre and sooner or later it will miserably backfire on them; for the people of Southwest State of Somalia now have a legitimate grievance that can only be placated by resistance and defiantly showing all Somalis that they will not be cowed by anybody and that they are more than capable of freely determining  their own political destiny. Thus, Lafta-Gareen’s presidency is on shaky ground and risks becoming stillborn unless he is willing to submit to the will of the people of the Southwest State and not Xamar politicians.

    Moving on to HirShaballe State: We all know that  the then new president, Waare, quickly threw in the towel when the first political shots were exhanged with Farmajo& Co due to lack of enough resources and local support—and in my opinion, he made the right choice at that time,  seeing his colleagues in the other federal member states all had their own hands full fending off the Farmajo and Kheyre incursion into their own respective states, when he wisely decided not to put up fight, bend the knee, bid his time and live to fight another day.

    Needless to say, whether he played his cards right or not will ultimately be decided by how well or how quickly he is able to gather up enough local support and resources to finally give the Farmajo administration its desserts( the proverbial middle finger, as it where😁) and set HirShabelle State on its own autonomous Federal path. Or on the other hand, he might not, and he may choose to remain content keeping HirShabelle State a vassal of national government politicians in Xamar who as we know come and go. In the end,  when all is said and done, the will of the people of HirShabelle shall determine whether subservience to Xamar politicians or to charting their own course for only they know truly where their real interests lie.

    Finally, to my beloved Puntland.😍

    To anyone who wants to suggest that the free and fair election that just took place in Garowe(where an incumbent President lost the election and new president took his place)  was somehow masterminded by Farmajo&Co and is therefore beneficial to the administration in Xamar in particular is either an unfortunate dolt with no discerning qualities or just plain high on something.😂

    Puntland as the oldest Federal member state and leading champion of the federalisation of Somalia has deep rooted institutions that are more than capable of withstanding any political storms let alone  the petty shenanigans of Farmajo& Co brought on by their desperation to gain political support in the Federal member states before the next federal elections.

    The new President of Puntland, Mudane Saciid Deni, took an oath to uphold the constitution of Puntland, and I like all other Puntlanderd have the full confidence  and expectation that he has the will and wherewithal to do just that. In short, my fellow SOLers, nothing has changed; Cabdiwali has gone and now Deni is in, just as previously, we had Faroole, Cade and others before them, yet the night and beautiful Puntland  juggernaut remains unstoppable.

    Puntland’s course is set and the destination is a free and thriving Federal Somalia, therefore to those of who wish Puntland chartless and rudderless, I’m gonna leave you with this... keep wishing on haters😜

    Agreed. Those who are hoping or wishing centralized administration from Mogadishu will be disappointed. There are two major obstacles facing the Federal government. 1- Alshabaab 2. Amisom.  Farmaajo and Khayre need to keep their eyes on the prize of defeating Alshabaab and removing Amisom and all foreign troops from the South. Unless they accomplish these two objectives, their authority will be limited.


  4. I think you are rushing to judgement too soon. The problem between regional governments and the federal government is minor and easily solvable than Al-Shabaab and Amisom. What is the agenda of Farmaajo and Khyre? I don't see a coherent plan to solve these problems. They need to come with a plan soon or they will be voted out like Gas.


  5. Looks like there is no apparent dark horse this time. Ali Isse definitely as an experienced heavy weight may be the dark horse. Siciid Deni and Mohamud Khalif (Jebiye) both businessman who are not corrupt also have a chance. We will know the winner on January 8, 2019 .

    Watch Diini, the new Speaker  I believe with his team.

    Farmaajo consolidating power almost complete, once GAAS is defeated.

    Farmaajo needs to concentrate defeating al-shabaab and removing the Amison. The only way the Federal government will have power over the regions is to share the aid that goes to Mogadishu only. The Turks spend 700 million in Mogadishu and lately the Qataris gave $200 million to the FG.

    Mourad1 had a point, this was not SL fight.

     

     

    It will have been  better for Somaliland to keep quiet, now they look bad siding with foreigner UN civil servant against their own Somali people. The UN has no choice but to replace him with someone who has more diplomatic skills and knows how to navigate the crazy Somali politics.

    It is the fact that Ilhan has been unapologetically proud of her Somali ethnicity that has significantly contributed to winning the congressional  seat. 

    Well done to all Somalis in Minnesota and congratulations to Ilham.


  9. MMA Good link. Looks like first name.second name@parliament.gov.so  if the first two names are same then first & third and if first second and third are same then first & forth. Knowledge of email and other forms of social media communication should be number one condition to become a member of Somali Parliament.


  10. When the chief secessionist Oodweyne and the chief anarchist newbie Dalmar1 of SOL agree with each other, rest assured that Puntland is making progress. Seriously when does having orderly and peaceful elections becomes a liability. As a matter of fact this is one of the major achievement of Puntland, an orderly and peaceful transfer of power every 5 years with new president, vice president and 67 parliamentarians.  


  11. This is all about the election. Dr. Gas's chances are diminished since he is not able to have the support of his own Vice President  Engineer Camey. This also shows the strength of the Vice President.The good news is that there are some excellent candidates that are capable of defeating Gas.

    Since when having an orderly and peaceful election is a bad thing.

    My advise to secessionist, your never ending attacks on Somalia on these message boards will not slow down the progress Somalia has made in the last few years. It is also a sign that you are really worried about your place in the future of Somalia and we feel sorry for you.


  12. This is Somali pastoral democracy as it is best with a little bit of colorful show biz. It will be very competitive as usual and there are signs that Dr. Gas will not able to win another term January 8, 2019.

    It always amazes me why Somalis especially the constant whining secessionists always turn positive news from our country into pissing clan contest.

    Dahabshiil invested a lot of money for properties and tried to become a dominant telecommunications bussines with little return so far. The only area going well for Dahabshiil is the bank sector which has a great future. The rest of his business model had very difficult to gain market share with all the investments he made to upgrades and compete with Jimcaale  groups like telesom partially because he likes to go alone. Dahabshiil is probably running out of cash flow and this is an attempt to collect som deposits. 

    Somtel faces a lot of competition and they are burning a lot of cash from their money transfer business. It is obvious why they are raising cash from investors because they are unable to sustain the telecom business by themselves. They were too late in getting into the telecom business by buying one of the least performing telecom companies Somtel. This is very risky investment. You should invest money only if you can afford to loose it or wait for a longtime for a return on the investment.


  14. Puntland had civil war because of 6 month delay by former president A. Yusuf Yey. It is not going to happen. Dr. Gas should be wise and intelligent enough not fall this so called delay. Former president Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke said it best during the war with Ethiopia "we will fight with one hand and hold the elections with the other".
