Update: Sland forces have been chased from the city and are regrouping.

LOL In the words of Ismaaciil Mire, "Ragow kibirka waa lagu kufaa kaa ha la ogaado"

This is what partially triggered tonight's firefight.

Laascaanood tonight

Hargeisa should heed Garaad Jaamac's advice.

Somalis fought and lost, from the Biy@@l revolt, Sheikh Barsane, Nasiib Buundo, Sayid Abdulle Hassan, Omar Samantar to the courageous 13 men who found SYL and established branches from Harar, to NFD to all over Somalia. There is no shame in losing. More powerful nations have been humbled including the little island you so admire. You seem to garner some twisted satisfaction from criminal acts inflicted on Somalis. It says more about than you realize.

The problem has always been the unity of reerka. Garowe will be forced to take side if this turns to be a real effort by SSC to free themselves from Muse's mafia.

He knows the jig is up. He doesn't want to be the last one to jump off the ship.

War Xaaji, many dead people are insulted everyday, don't know what so special about islaantan.

LOL the queen is not divine.

Tallaabo, What Sland does or does not is beside the point. These communities simply don't want part of the secessionist project. It is that simple.

A genocidal warlord does not honor anything let alone agreements

There's a warlordism culture in the city. Mahad Cambaash is one such warlord. Hargeisa pays him handsomely. Reer Buhoodle are different breed. And the secessionists gave up after Kalshaale.

LOL...on this sad occasion, I don't mind.

He was finally forced to come out and say something much like HSM/ https://puntlandpost.net/2022/12/30/madaxweynaha-puntland-oo-ka-hadlay-xaaladda-adag-ee-ka-taagan-laascaanood/

After long silence, HSM finally opens his mouth Madaxweynaha dowladda Soomaaliya oo ka hadlay xaalada magaalada Laascaanood HIIRAAN.COM Jimco, December, 30, 2022 (HOL) - Madaxweynaha dowladda Fedaraalka Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud ayaa goordhaw ka hadlay dhibaatada ka taagan magaalada Laascaanood ee gobolka...

Galbeedi, sxb don't be naive. The goal of the hardcore secessionists is to either control the local populace or eliminate them if they prove to be uncontrollable. Here's the true sentiment of hardcore ideologues

AUN Sheikh Caalin

This is series of tweets that captures the events of the last four days. People are being killed even mosques.
