Didn't know that. Anyone replaced him? MMA, The Tigray president is complaining being unfairly treated. I guess the word irony is not Tigray language. The bigger question would the Federal Government take advantage of this change in meaningful way that doesn't alienate the people.

I don't know but it looks like Abiy is honoring his word. Me thinks he will do so until he consolidates his power then he will be sending his own Gabres.

I assume Coldoon is still wanted man?

Boramanews.com and other Somali sites.

Why do get the feeling the one in Puntland is next. Ethiopian security mainly TPLF generals and colonels made tons of money through contraband in Somali State, Somaliland and the South.

The purging might be politically motivated but corruption is not fake, These people robbed the country blind.

Kembata Tembaro Zone seeking statehood

Abiy is seeking calm in the east. His immediate enemies are elsewhere, even , within Oromia. It is not as easy as it looks.

More and Colonels arrested

Somali politicians might not hate but I assure a regular Somali will shoot him on the spot.

Somalis, This is where they might take us to the cleaners. As we speak, Moyale is still burning.

Galbeedi, Speaking about sharing the pie, how does your average Farax or Xalimo benefit from that? I never understood why Somalis argue if their minister is not in the government or not. As far as I know there is one MJ minister in the federal government, I don't see how his presence there is helping MJs or Puntland? Same goes for everyone. The ministers might get fat but not your average guy. We are focusing on the wrong thing. We need an actual government that can be hold accountable. How does Awdal benefit from a vice-president position in Hargeisa? Or even where Dahir Riyaale was there? Even among Habro, did your average HJ benefited Siiraanyo's reign. Those around him did but certainly not your average person in Burco. Of course, government should reflect people that govern but we must not kid ourselves so as to think any minister from any given tribe truly represents the interests of his tribe. We need to be forward thinking and come up with different system.

Do the opposition (or clans) have a plan of their own that would hold Cagjar aka Abtigiis accountable? Are they simply crying foul? It is easy to oppose but had to come up with solutions, The Somali way of dealing with problems is to create tribal regions where those problems still exists. Soon, you will have a new group of people complaining about those that are running the new regions. Whether you are in tribal regions or high level, the fact remains a small group will running the show and robbing the place while the general public complains about something that will bring no remedy.

It's not confirmed yet but his arrest is inevitable.

How mighty have fallen, Assefa next.

Not confirmed yet.

According to sources,

Kaffa Zone residents demanding statehood now. More to come.

I imagine Roobow who is who in that region and who has been extorting the public.

More arrests have been made; among them are Colonel Gudeta Olana and Yared Zerihun, former intelligence deputy.
