We tend to blow things out of proportion. Fahad is no more powerful than anyone else. He is more competent and people seem to confuse competence for power. More importantly, unlike 'laandheer' politicians, the man depends on his skills to sedate what passes for politicians in Somalia. And he is no more destructive than 'babdaado" qaran, Deni, and Madobe. I assure if HSM and Sharif had this man on their side, they will be singing a different tune.

Duufaan, Galbeedi, In the end, battles might be won and lost, but the war will persist in one form or another. Ethiopia is a country of contradictions that can't be reconciled organically. It will always require some force to hold it together. Duufaan, When you euphoria dies down, and let's assume Abiy wins. If he is again faced with the same problems, this time it will be a well armed Amhara itching to reimpose their hegemony.

Galbeedi, They have a month to make something happen, otherwise, they would have to retreat to Tigray and hope the world would pressure Abiy not to enter Tigray. If Abiy does win this war, I assure you it will go to his head. Ethiopia always needs an emperor who eventually gets deposed.

Arafaat, One thing is sure the likes of Afars didn't die so Abiy can sit on Melenik's throne. Amharas and Tigrians are between calaacal and faan depending he has the upper hand on that. Amharas are jubilant and speaking of marching to Mekelle.

They have been advancing forever.

Duufaan, Never understood why Somalis would take any side. Baffling! OLA are proving to be useless. Battling are raging all over. It is fluid situation, but it's clear TDF has suffered some significant losses. Now the question is will they retreat to Tigray and avoid supply lines being cut off, or do a suicidal march to Addis in rhe hope of creating choas.

TDF is reportedly completely kicked out of Afar region. The Ethiopian military and allied Amhara forces captured some areas in Amhara region. TDF risks supply line being cut off.

These guys are vicious

They forced him to retract the retweet

I want to see Abdirahman Abdishakur beaten. Many who advocated for indirect elections are now finding themselves sidelined.

It's about elections and money, and other long unaddressed issues.

That will be sweet irony. Two places where Somalis were kicked out. Well, the two better get ready and set up a welcome party.
