Investigative Dossier

Itoobiya has extensive spy network in Ethiopia and Somalia. Within Ethiopia, apart from traditional security agencies, the party uses its members to spy on neighbors. Those who work with the government are rewarded, for instance, if a farmer wants fertilizers, the price is keeping an eye on his neighbors. Every neighborhood, subdivision and street have assigned residents who report any new movement, new residents, etc. In Somali territories, spies work as day laborers, university lecturers, businessmen and of course, there are the Somali collaborators.

What will his primary role be?

I can't believe but I agree with Daaco. Things change in an instant in that neighborhood. I wouldn't be on anything.

Fantasies

The real power lies in the security departments, Who will be running the military, intelligence and federal police?

I would tell you but Daaco might in come and accuse everyone of glorifying D folks.

The joke is on us (Somali public).

The Oromo is making a big splash. Will this satisfy or will they demand more?

Mooge, this man should just disappear.

Failed politician? The man was robbed in broad light by unscrupulous character. Now, Faysal Dhurwaa, that's an actual politician.

Wasn't Morgan in the Somali Government when women were being raped in Mudug and wells being poisoned?

Just how would they fix it? Any suggestions?

I don't know about taking advice from Guelleh but I wonder what next group of Somalis UAE will pick on when interests clash.

I will mark your word!! You overestimate these family enterprises.

Somalia should stick to its guns. One can't go to wherever the wind blows. There is another brewing tension between Saudis and UAE, what next? Somalia has to choose between these two. If this tit for tat continues, Somalia will lose economically but politically, it is UAE that will look weak. They are spending unnecessary political capital on fragile state whose alliance cannot tip the balance of power in the region.
