Xaaji, How does Nuh Tani still have a job?

The Abiy regime has, yet again, recklessly generated further instability in the Horn of Africa. In its desperate search for a popular cause to use to rally the country under its rule, it has callously endangered innocent lives. The regime remains the primary obstacle to peace in the region, now expanding its brand of divide-and-conquer politics beyond Ethiopia. In the face of these provocations, the enduring solidarity between Oromo and Somali communities remains steadfast. Do not be fooled by the social media agitators or the illegitimate clique in Arat Kilo, neither can ever undermine the historic and resilient alliance.

Abiy tried so hard to convince OLA leaders to join him with promises of ministership among other things. It is a good idea they get ahead of this. They knew the brunt of Somali anger would be directed at Oromo civilians.

On lighter side of things, reer Awdal's message to Muse BEENLOOW

Ethiopian military's Facebook post raises alarm in Somalia over Red Sea deal Mogadishu (HOL) - The Ethiopian military's recent Facebook statement regarding Red Sea matters and the maritime agreement with the self-declared Republic of Somaliland has sparked concerns in Somalia. In the statement, Ethiopia reminisces about historical sea access, and expressed worries about piracy and terrorism in the Somali Sea affecting Ethiopian interests. Somalia views Ethiopia's focus on securing the sea with suspicion, raising questions about its motives. On October 13, Prime Minister Abiy highlighted Ethiopia’s reliance on the Red Sea and the Nile. “Ethiopia is an island surrounded by water but a country that is thirsty,” he said. “The Red Sea and the Nile will determine Ethiopia. They are interlinked with Ethiopia and will be the fundamentals that will either bring in Ethiopia’s development or bring about its demise.” The agreement, signed in Addis Ababa, grants Ethiopia a 50-year lease on a naval base with access to Somaliland’s Berbera port for commercial marine operations. Mogadishu views the deal as an act of "aggression" and any international recognition of Somaliland as an attack on Somalia’s sovereignty. The maritime deal also faces substantial international condemnation. On Saturday, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud signed a law overturning the Ethiopia-Somaliland agreement, following approval by both houses of Somalia's Federal Parliament. The law's enactment comes after both legislative houses deemed the agreement invalid during an emergency parliamentary session this week, citing violations of international norms and undermining Somalia's territorial integrity.

Muse's goons are jumping ship.

lol

HSM is not known for bold moves when it comes to foreign emissaries. The man would rather to Xalane than them coming to the villa.

The only thing that makes sense this was a diversion tactic for Muse and Abiy. Muse screwed over Somaliland during his six years, and Abiy is facing mounting pressures in Amhara and Oromia. Those wars are not going well for him. He might have naively thought access to sea would win over the Amharas.

He's still there which is why a lot of people are suspicious of him and his government.

Protest in Hargeisa

Ditto!

Xaaji, Muse's recklessness has put everyone in an awkward position. Tough decisions have to be made.

How are reer Awdal responding to this? Have they reached out to Mogadishu or tried to engage the mad man in Hargeisa?
