It will do Somaliland some good to listen to the disgruntled masses. It will save you a lot of trouble. That said, if reer Awdal go thru with their objective of becoming a federal state, Muse Bixi will react violently, but his sub-clan (Sacad Muse) is smart enough not to turn the region into a war zone. Unlike their kin (HJ), Sacad Muse wants their region to be economically vibrant and politically effective. They can't have that if they go to war with their neighbors.

I actually welcome all regions managing their internal affairs, becoming economically self-sufficient, and maintaining Somali unity/identity. I hope to see Somalis invest in other sectors as well, not just building ports.

Some Somalis are fighting hard to free their land. In fact, most nations within Ethiopia are fighting hard to make sure their land is under their control, and not under Abiy. And here you have some Somalis are working hard to make the case for Ethiopia.

It is the other round. Abiy made a diplomatic blunder. He is looking for a way out. That said, HSM is always happy to please. I wouldn't doubt if he offers a port to Abiy.

"Jabuuti waa dalaynnu walaalo nahay, oo saaxiibbo nahay. Haddii la innaga gardaran yahay annagu qarankayaga ayaannu la jirnaa, laakiin Muuse wuxuu doonayaa colaad aanu waxba ka tari karin." Xirsi Cali Xasan https://x.com/HersiAHassan/status/1807141296710238478

"Waxa aan maanta Kulan muhiim ah la qaatay qaarka mid ah Odayaasha, Waxgaradka, Aqoonyahanka iyo Masuuliyiinta gobollada Awdal iyo Salaal. Waxa aannu isla meeldhignay in laga wada shaqeeyo danta guud iyo difaaca Qarankeenna Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland." Muuse Biixi https://x.com/musebiihi/status/1807451121964716347

His departure will go a long way, but everything needs to be re-examined. It is clear the entire system is not working anymore and not every community sees Somaliland the same way.

Djibouti did not give 20 KM coast line to Ethiopia. Ethiopia wants ownership of a port and naval base. Only an insane person would agree to that.

The Afars are done. They are spent force. It is worth noting the three districts that are under their control were given to them by TPLF when the Somali region was under Abdi Iley. Many Somali districts were given away in the same manner. So, the Afars never had the means to confront Somalis. They are a warrior nation, but they simply don't have the numbers and the means. They were well armed by Abiy during the Tigray war and they did defeat the TPLF but with the assistance of the Ethiopian army and their Turkish drones. The road that connects Ethiopia to Jabuuti passes thru Cundhufo, Garabociise and Cadayto. It is unlikely the Ethiopian federal government and army would allow Somalis to control that road. If that happens, it simply means the Ethiopian army is no longer as strong as it used to be given the Officer Corp who are mostly Amhara and Tigray defected and experienced soldiers have perished in Tigray conflict, and the ongoing Amhara war, It is very curious the head of Somali Liyu Police to openly defy the Ethiopian army. He and President Cagjar are aware of something we are not or they took a calculated risk hoping the blowback won't be too harsh.

Muse Biixi never learns

A Aamiin!

Somalis have shown extraordinary resolve and strength General Gafeydhe #DDS https://x.com/OgadenSoldier/status/1807196368382943480

The Federal Government made their move. Check below. https://x.com/BrotherGouled/status/1805206666201174093?t=PRfGF7JDxSE0seC5sx0fQw&s=19

Somalis are within reach of their objectives. They have captured Candhuufo, are three KM from Garbo-Ciise, and cut off Adaytu. Kudos to the Ciise clan, their militia, and Somali Liyu Police. Let's what Abiy admin does.

They are toying with Somalis. There is no indication they are moving forward with this.

Arafaat, Let Xaaji be it. He first would have to settle his internal and often contradictory feelings before he can embark on any meaningful discussion on Ethiopia's intentions.

Xoori is back in Somali hands. Tragically, hundreds on both sides have perished. The below video is from Xoori. https://x.com/Sitti_Salal_Dji/status/1800544884010738163

And Biixi wants to give land and coast to Abiy.
