Galbeedi, Ethiopian infantry and mechanized divisions are being amassed from Awdal to Galgaduud. HSM did nothing tangible as expected, what's Awdal's next move?

The Arny is worried about desertion among other things.

What did you see what mini-Modi was saying?

Nothing interesting, a delusional power-hungry man is about to plunge the north into war and give Somali shores to Ethiopia so he can stay in power and continue to loot.

It seems Fano's goal is to first exhaust the ENDF and drain the Abiy admin's resources. These bursts of attack on towns and cities and then retearing became a pattern. In response, Abiy's forces attack residents which in turn prompts more people to join Fano.

Las Anod cases submitted International Criminal Court (ICC)

Xaaji, let's not indulge in the same old mantra. Xamar indeed has no physical control over Hargeisa, but Sland is legally under Xamar. No amount of saying Sland waa qaran will change that. And despite what Ethiopians are saying, Abiy walked into a legal minefield which he is too proud to extricate himself from. Most wars are started due to errors in judgment or hubris. It seems Abiy and Bixiye made serious errors and are too proud to back down.

Arafat, SSC folks can respond in two ways depending on who attacks. If Bixiye and his goons attack by themselves, SSC should respond harshly but proportionally. Whoever Bixiye recruited for the new wave of attacks is not well trained or as experienced as the previous Sland 'army', More importantly, SSC forces are battle-hardened. SSC are far better in messaging and they will have the support of the Somali public as they are not the aggressors. HSM gave Bixiye political cover during the LA siege, but this time around, HSM might not be so generous. If Ethiopia gets involved directly or bullies SSC by establishing bases inside SSC territories, everything should be on the table. We can't have Abiy think he can set up shop everywhere. This will also be the time for HSM and his admin to put up or shut. Either way, we shouldn't underestimate Bixiye's desperation and bruised ego, and Abiy's attempt to externalize his country's problems.

Timely question, listen to this report. I will share my thoughts later. Some of things in the report have confirmed by the locals.

For a new admin, they are way ahead of other established admins.

It's hard enough to fight a rebellion but it is even harder when army officers abandon the military and defect to the rebels.

That's good a trait, but a leader needs more than that especially considering who his boss is.
