You are misdiagnosing Garaada and the youth of Sool. It does not matter what Mogadishu does. What they want is to determine their fate. Any negotiation with Hargeisa is to live as neighborly brothers. Their stand hasn't wavered. Abiy is a loose cannon more than anything else. It will be his Oromo that will pay the price for his recklessness.

Let's hope so. There is another question of what constitutes Somaliland today considering Hargeisa no longer controls H@rti areas and reer Awdal/Isse are getting worried by the day. And Grxjs wants the presidency by any means or they will walk away. The man made a big mess. I thought Southern politicians were bad.

Xaaji, I don't even think his sub-clan would accept that. What clan would accept a naval and commercial base exclusively controlled by an outside force? Mind you, Ethiopia will have complete control over the area. They will bring their people to work there and secure the area. They may ask for a security zone which means additional land. They will exploit the marine resources.

Some things cannot be used as a bluff. Inviting a hegemonic neighbor led by a leader who believes he is the reincarnation of Messehiah is one of them. And giving away territories of other clans will ensure a civil war. Reer Awdal and Isse are not going to be gifted to Ethiopia.

Ma ogoshahay in 20 km la siiso Oromo?

How far is Sland elite willing to go to realize the illusive recognition?

It could be for show.

Abiyow ciidanka siidaa ee arrintu joogtaa

This last trip makes the most sense. It is safe to say he will go to Egypt, Turkey and Qatar as well.

Wow

He wanted to change certain articles of the Constitution before the final draft was adopted. The most important changes are eliminating the PM position, and adopting the presidential system. He also wanted to reduce the number of political parties to just two. In other words, he wants a strong presidency with little checks.

We are talking about Muse. The man is not rational. Anything is possible with him.
