Galbeedi, on top of that, some trade is shifting to Garacad despite being under-developed in comparison to Berbera. They made a mistake of interfering with business and lumping all D community together, a community that don't share a similar goals and have different priorities. Anyway Awdal seems to be late to every game, not that clan militias are good for anyone. Pland should be worried as well and tread carefully. This sort of culture can easily impact the behavior of other Somali clans

The bigger problem is proliferation of clan militias that more powerful than official government forces in Somaliland. The only region that doesn't have a well-armed militia is Awdal.

Oromo activist Jawar Mohammed in new interview “ ENDF military is overstretched and the whole army is about to explode. Every ENDF general knows this. Soldiers are only paid $3,000 Birr and don’t even have proper rations.”

This is an old report, but it made me wonder what HSM yes-men are telling him or if he is listening to anyone at all? Under one year, he went from "Ethiopia is our enemy" to "Ethiopians have scarified their lives for us." Clearly, Tunisia, unlike Somalia, was and is an actual state and Ben Ali was firmly in control, but Ben Ali's delusions can be heard in his voice. Almost no one was telling him the reality on the ground to the very last minute. Listening to HSM, it is becoming harder to tell he is a fool, a thief who will do anything to amass wealth even at the expense of his nation, an ill man or simple tool of foreign powers, perhaps he is a bit of everything.

Only Iran is left on the List

Suicide bombers from Dharjaale attack. None of them are Somalis.

Galbeedi, Those who launched the attacks made a fundamental mistake. They foolishly forget that they crossed an international border. Their goal might have been to destabilize the Somali region, but they conveniently ignored the region is under Addis Ababa jurisdiction regardless how Somalis view the Ethiopian colonization of the Somali region. This is not Las Anod or Erigavo.

If the story of well-armed militia crossing from Somaliland is true, it seems this is an attempt to derail Irro presidency before it even takes off.

‘Dark forces’ from Somaliland kill at least 83 on Ethiopian territory At least 30 members of the Somali regional police force and 53 civilians have been killed by an armed group that crossed into Ethiopian territory, Harshin Woreda, from Somaliland over the past week. Government officials confirmed the casualties to The Reporter, but other sources say the attacks claimed more than 200 lives. Harshin, the easternmost woreda of Jigjiga Zone, is bordered on the south by Degehabur Zone, on the west by Kebri Beyah, and on the northeast by Somaliland. Harshin is home to clans who inhabit both the Somali region and Somaliland. Seven days ago, it turned into the scene of a bloody series of events that reportedly began with a clan-related clash over grazing lands in Yoale Kebele. The Somali regional administration sent a team of three police officers, including Mohammed Gedi, Harshim’s security chief, to bring the clash under control, according to an official in the Somali regional government.

From what I understand, local clans from opposing communities had a conflict over land, a farm land. The land belongs to the Arab clan. A small number of Liyu Polce and local officials came to the area to assess the situation and find a solution. The Liyu Police were ambushed by Arab militia. Liyu Police members died including commanders. The commanders were Ciise, Arab and OG men. Videos of the dead were shared on social media The Arab militia were not all from the area. The Liyu Police came back in force and went rampage. Ethiopian forces decided not to intervene. They agreed to close the border, but nothing else. In any case, over 200 Somalis are dead including 60 Liyu police. A small disagreement turned into bloodbath.

The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, arrived in Asmara, in early afternoon hours today, for a working visit. President Isaias Afwerki accorded warm welcome to President Hassan S. Mohamud and his entourage on their arrival at Asmara Internatonal Airport. The two Heads of State will discuss further enhancement of bilateral ties as well as regional and international matters of mutual importance. https://x.com/hawelti/status/1871904817037058308

Eritrea plans to cut off ties with Somalia if Ethiopia is given access to the sea.

This hooyo smacks down Fartaag, a typical Somali 'politician' https://x.com/Mohamed14324413/status/1871727721325150245

Secession does not serve anyone's interest, political autonomy does. Illyria, At this point, it is irresponsible to watch HSM ran the country to the ground. Unfortunately, Mogadishu political elites seem paralyzed.

HSM would sell the whole country if he can.

Heego have toned down their rethoric and are now pro HA, but Gxjs are pro government and hardcore Slanders.

It's amazing how underdeveloped Erigavo looks

Tragic.... too many boys will die and at the end, there will be some agreements.

There's fundamental problem that can't be overcome in regards to Erigavo situation, and that's how can pro-secession and anti-secessionist communities share the same city. I personally think they can, but Sland sees Erigavo as part and parcel to their agenda, and SSC wants their side of the city under their rule. And this is the larger issue at the hand. Somaliland will continue claiming territories inhibited by reer SSC as this is essential for the elusive icritiraaf, and reer SSC want their own clan state, bringing the part of Sanaag that belongs to them under their control will potentially help them create a federal state. These two objectives are difficult to reconcile. My argument is based on this fact,

LOL Arrested. They did everybody a favor for arresting these guys. 1. Taliyahii Turubitaariyada Gobolka Sanaag Gaashanle Dhexe:- Maxamed Cali Xaaji Ciise 2.

Beesha Dhexe much like other Habar in the South (Galkacayo in particular) don't understand the concept of live and let live. They only respect brute force. Unfortunately, many young men will perish before common sense prevails.
