I thought Farmaajo"s supporters were paid trolls and bots.

LOL

I saw a guy saying the government should intervene and reroute the donations. Farmaajo was a good punching bag!, but since he's gone, they don't know how to redirect that energy.

There are many like her who know little to anything about Somalia or Africa that comes to Nairobi or alike cities in order to do few hit pieces. All of the sudden, they are experts, researchers and journalists all in, and being booked on networks like Al Jazeera. I saw a young woman literally asking Rashid Abdi (Sahan) where she can get literature about Somalia. Within a week, she wrote an article about Somalia. Soon, you have Somalis quoting these people.

The country's intelligence service is always key. Fahad was competent than the rest. How he deployed this resource is another matter. I don't object anyone leading the agency as long as they are competent enough. We can all agree Mahad Salad is not. I hope he does a good job for the sake of the country.

He will have a bigger problem in Hiiraan if he starts changing borders.

Effective regional admins HirShabeele and Galmudug will be a welcome change. That said, one needs more than his clan and regions to gain or stay in power. So far the troops, the Somali troops are diverse than ever. It's not personal army but he has more remaking NISA into a personal force.

They need actuall wa shamsi.

Deni's issue with Farmaajo became very personal.

Galbeedi; I gave up on HSM the moment he appointed Mahad Salad as the head of NISA. And he seems to lack the ability to control his clan folk head honchos.

You haven't figured out Southern politics. It's these regions that will turn on him much like Deni and Madoobe turned on Farmaajo. Alliances come and go, and the clan is not always determining factor.

LOL Deni will run amok.

Utter humiliation. And Emirates ambassador went to the central bank, Villa Somalia, Ministry of Finance and God knows where.

Welcome Saalax. No civil war sxb, but it was expected like his predecessors will try to extend its term. It's almost a tradition among Somalis.

Things are not looking good

Apparently, these are appointments so far. Optics matter specially 4.5 era.

Ukraine war: 'This is just the beginning, everything is still to come' Ukraine war: 'This is just the beginning, everything is still to come' WWW.BBC.COM As Russian attacks intensify, Ukrainians are asking whether it's better to pay for a ceasefire with land - or lives.

The boys are coming home. Strange times, Somalis in uniform walking through Bole Airport. I hope HSM honors their sacrifice and used them to liberate the country.

LOL I actually don't mind tolka as long as they are competent.
