So, the Somali presidency will only go to one clan?

Iran is UEA's second biggest trading partner in the region. Don't let them fool you.

I like that

So, you consider a Somali person in Mogadishu an outsider and you wonder why people prefer federalism?

No, I support reer Sool to have the final word on their future just as reer Hargeysa should decide where their future lies. Soomaali inta is rabta ha israacdo inta kalane Ilaahey garabkooda hagalo.. Unlike you, while I prefer all Somalis come under one political entity, I don't believe forcing anyone against their will. If you believe the trouble is being caused by a clan, then, you are indeed blinded.

Iley answers to someone but that someone is not holding him back from retaliating, In any case, what do you in mind since you opposed Iley and ONLF without alternatives?

No, look closer, it is mostly the Oromo flag with the tree. Suldaanka, Amhara will certainly try to come back to power but it's unlikely they will hold the country together even with the help of the West. No nation wants to come under their control and they don't have numerical advantage to win genuine elections.

That might so, but doesn't justify the continuous massacre of Somali civilians.

We got it, you hate them for their qabiil. Anything else? Perhaps something useful?

What's Galmudug going to do? Attack Garacad?

There are OLF flags than they are Ethiopian flags.

It's extremely concerning Oromo Regional Authority is getting involved. The Liyu Police might now be a necessary evil.

People, what alternatives do you offer in terms of economic growth and governance. It is easy to oppose things,

Daaco, That might just be the most sensible thing you said in all of your time here. Whatever you started taking, continue using it

We lack the basic understanding of governance, whatever system of governance won't matter unless people are not fully informed and the politicians are since in the application of the constitution and laws. The most basic problem is the incomplete constitution that creates a lot of confusion in terms of responsibilities.

Federalism is a symptom not the underlying problem.

How would accepting Somaliland secession solved the problem in the South?

There's a difference about learning from past or being burdened by it. In the case of Somalis, the past has became an obstacle to the future.

Obsessing about history will not solve the current problems.

The Kenyan president is going there as well. It will be in the interest of Eritrea and Djibouti to make good and solve their issues. I doubt Eritrea will attack Djibouti considering it's just coming in from the cold.

I think there's a better chance of the newly demoted Abdi Kheyr defecting. After Kalshaale, it would be unwise to attack Buhoodle.

MMA, Haa, that's the day. Suldaanka, We are looking for unflattering pics and naaneys.
