He could lead Ethiopia into three possible outcomes. Go Gorbavich way and watch Ethiopia disintegrate peacefully. For this to happen, he needs to accept the current system is not working and the old system cannot be revived, and nationalism is on the rise. Go the Milosevic way, he will be accused of reviving of Abyssinia which its ugly history. The only people that yearn for that sort of Ethiopia are Amhara (Serbs in the case of Yugoslavia) who want Amharafication of everything and suppression of any linguistic and cultural diversity, political autonomy, etc. Amharas have a lot to lose in terms of land and influence just like the Serbs who were ethnically cleansed from Croatia, lost their supposed historical land Kosovo and was forced to share Bosnia. Millions are dispersed all over Ethiopia. This would inevitably lead to a violent breakup just like Yugoslavia. Or the pastor could become a genuine democrat. This is least likely considering what he is already doing.

It seems siege mentality and victimhood are settling in the Tigray. The centralization by Pastor Abiy and his cohorts is not popular anywhere let alone in Tigray. In-depth Analysis: Towards Tigray Statehood? - Addis Standard ADDISSTANDARD.COM Addisstandard.com

Cadnaan, The Iley program was rather politically tainted and forced. Haatu, Considering Somalis import everything, we can start with local markets until we find other markets. Suldaanka, That is a great idea. Every innovation helps. Eventually, hope there might be a way to turn nomads to ranchers. Dear Maakhiri, Good thing you weren't present when the original 13 SYL founders had their first meeting: Sakhawidiin: So, what should be the ultimate goal of the Somali Youth Club (initial name) be? Dhere Haji Dhere: Independence. Maakhiri: Pipe dream Founders: Get out of here,

This is what happens when you are led by a psychotic toddler who spends millions of on yacht, paintings, and châteaux, and spends the rest of the money on genocidal war.

Rats? LOL@Biixi, hugs don't bring lives or mitigate the next famine or floods.

I believe so.

If only Bosaso took this route...

Tallaabo, Cadnaan is merely responding to Suldaanka trashing of Xamar, an attempt to malign Farmajo. But objectively speaking, these problems are everywhere and Somali leaders are nothing oligarchs who feed on the little resources that are there. Ten years from Hargeysa and Xamar will be probably in the same situation unless locals decide to hold the leaders accountable. And speaking Baydhabo, it is actually thriving and cleaner.

LOL

Looks like they are more than training troops.

These regional leaders are oligarchs who feed on gullible (rather self-induced stupidity) people.

I guess he was told go through proper channels.

I'll take his word for it.

Sxb, Two wrongs don't make right.

Waare was handed the money long ago. Your insane obsession with everything Farmajo has clouded your judgment.

You are playing both parts in that empty chamber of yours.

Oodweyne, You are right it's his delusions and brothers that will bring him down. He actually thinks PP has grassroots support. The war in Western Oromia has been raging now for two years. The army is not any closer to defeating OLA.

The money for Qardho was directly handed to Pland Government and the money for Beledweynte including the one from Jabouti was handed over to Hirshabele Government. And while the donations from Sland are appreciated, there's nothing unique, every Somali from Puntland, Mogadishu, and diaspora have donated money and material. So, let's not go and politicize this. What Somali governments including regional governments are guilty of is the lack of planning and infrastructure to stop these recurring floods.

Two words I found funny as a kid growing up in Bilaajo Carab: Shuun and Laandheer.

Southern dialect is very diverse. We find reer Bari as strange as reer Waqooyi.

Where's the bit for Qardho mase PR donation meesha
