Oodweyne, That a Somali politician, his relatives, and cronies steal from the public is a guarantee. Some are obviously smarter than others, in the case of Somaliland, at least they pay government employees and security forces. But there is a no the men you mentioned didn't steal.

The problem with these leaders are their personal interests do not align with the people's interest. I am sure the likes Gaas and Deni have financial interests in Dubai. They should learn from Somaliland leaders. Don't invest all your loot in one a place. Diversify!

No, it's a burge.

He made monumental mistakes! Suldaanka, You are giving the Amhara too much credit. The reality is no one knows how this will turn out but Amharas are not in a position to keep Abiy in power or replace him within their own. And the other regions are well prepared for any eventuality, at least the TPLF who are dealing with deals with any Abiy opposition.

Speaking of Sajuud, where's Saalax and his picture

JUST IN #Ethiopia's ruling party (PP) temporarily suspend Minister of Defence Lemma Megersa, Teyba Hassan & Milkessa Midega (PhD) from cc of the party. The decision came after the party ruling Oromia held its 1st conference. Going against party discipline is cited as a reason. https://twitter.com/ameyuetana/status/1292513126324330497

Got it. So what's Biixi's position?

Xaaji, I will give it to you, we put ourselves in bad position thanks mostly to the elites of the two families running the ountry since 60s. But there are no Somalis without us (Somali proper) or without Xamar.

The moment Biden is sworn, Trump will be thrown out of the White House.

what happens to not meeting them?

Unfortunate moment in Somali history but those armed and trained by Mengistu and carried his orders are no position to take a swap at others.

AUN

Somalis live in fantasy land.

Only Talaabo makes sense here. Besides, what makes think IC didn't know this was coming.

There's nothing unusual about this. I have AR 15 and SW 45 granted I don't walk around with it.

Apparently HSM and his team are in cahoots with Farmaajo.

MMA, I am planning a trip next year.

Whatever it is, Hormud is not blaming the Government.

I agree with what's point of having a parliament if regional leaders can decide every decision. Lamana tashan needs to end. Of course, there needs to be a constitutional court for states to challenge federal institutions.

No one is more powerful in Somalia than Hormud. I wish the government had that power over them. There's an obstacle to state-building.
