Xaaji, You do realize all the Somali businesses are co-owned or do extensive business with other Somali businesses. And most Somali politicians are financed by business people or have their stolen money laundered by the same businesses.

A large delegation from Awdal State Movement which represents all Somali tribes of that strategic region has arrived in Las Anod, the SSC capital. Translation: “We have come here to celebrate with our SSC brothers for the August 25th 1st anniversary which was the day SSC forces defeated the enemy last year. We will also try to learn from the gov’t of how to manage newly formed adminand to establish peace like here, because we want to replicate what they have in our region of Awdal ASAP.” https://x.com/north_somalia/status/1827388976912539935

"Bravo Wasiir. Alx, it’s about time to respect our country as such. Those who have a different agenda or other preferable names, then go ahead and make your own country, otherwise respect this nation called Somalia and its citizens until they come to that same conclusion as your wishes."

Xaaji, De jure power is a potent tool, one not exercised by the Somali Government against secessionist entities. No persons or organizations can oppose it on flimsy personal relationships.

What are officials from Hirshabelle doing in Yaaqbariweyne other than to cause fitna.

One rule on put-downs, make sure you don't share similar names with your opposition. You would think they would figure out considering their name is literally Somali-Land. By the way, the Habesha even called Somali region (Somaligalbeed) Somalia.

Xaaji, Ethiopian Airlines is mandated to follow the issuances of any legal government. While Villa Somalia has no physical control over Hargeisa, it can legally compel any foreign organization to obey its laws. That's reality for all Somalis to accept, Hargeisa has no legal mandate and Mogadishu has no actual physical control. MMA, Never understood the logic of hardcore secessionists using the word Zoomaalia. It shows their illogical behavior or amazing stupidity.

GJecel is my reer Ayeeyo. It is unfortunate their good name is being abused. I am more saddened they are abusing the good name of a great Somali hero Sheikh Hassan Barsane. But it is important SW takes over complete control over its territories. Somalia would have been a different place if there were strong regional governments when Barre Admin was overthrown. We can't leave everything to Mogadishu.

Is this MP.or warlord? It's worth noting Jeesow is selected from Hirshabelle.

Kudos to SW Gov for clearing more Isbaaro.

HSM is not really shrewd. He eroded his support among his kin, and they will be first to push him out. Somali society is tribal, but Southern politics loyalty is not always along the clan. HSM simply pissed too many people, too many regions, and too many clans. He has no support in Jland, SW, and his attempt to undermine Qoorqoor is failing, specially considering the weapon smuggling debacle. His support is dwindling down to his Waceysle sub-clan. Reer Hiiraan won a hard fight against AS, but HSM has been undermining them as well. And HSM's biggest handicap is his unrelenting appetite for money. He understands he's old man so he is grabbing as much resources as he can for his kids. The overwhelming Somali politicians are corrupt from Djibouti, Jigjiga, Hargeisa, Garowe all the way to Garissa and Mandera, even among these thieves, HSM is in class of his own. We can count one thing, he will try to extend his tenure. He falsely hopes he might able to use foreign forces to subdue other regions. As for SSC and Maakhir. Somali reality is determined by strength, SSC is well armed, control more lands than HSM himself and are united. They enjoy the support of D-clan. They have made a point of not infringing on other clan's territories, something all Somali clan understand. Maakhir has always enjoyed relative peace. They see no reason to disrupt that peace

Unlike last time, Abiy does not have the support of the Amharas and Eritreans.

HSM opposed Jland and was not fan of SW, but he was forced to accept both. In any case, the Northern H@arti clans have every intention of redifining the politics in the North. Muse Bihi's threats only reinforces their conviction.

The TPLF held their congress without Abiy's permission. The interim Tigray president Getachew Reda whose is also TPLF's vice-chair boycotted the party congress. TPLF fired him today,

Back to square. #Ethiopia: #TPLF re-elects Debretsion as Chairman, suspends #Tigray Interim Admin President, others from party membership The Congress, which faced a boycott by key executive members, also saw significant leadership changes within the party. In a notable move that laid bare the growing schism within the party, the Congress replaced Getachew Reda, the deputy chairman of the party, with Amanuel Assefa, the former head of the Tigray region’s justice bureau and former chief of the Interim Administration President’s office. It remains unclear whether and/or how the suspension of Getachew from the party affects his position as the president of the interim admin of the region appointed by PM Abiy Ahmed following the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities agreement between the federal government and the TPLF that ended the two-year brutal war in the Tigray region. Over the weekend, a separate conference was convened by Getachew and several other key members of the party who boycotted the Congress under the theme “Salvation of the People and the Party”. In its 11-point resolution, the conference already declared outcomes of the 14th Congress of the TPLF to be “null and void.” https://x.com/addisstandard/status/1825631581278441520

It's another way to confuse and distract. I think we can all agree now they want to annex land and sea.

Abiy has made his mind he will get a port on Red Sea/Gulf of Aden thru force :An #Ethiopia|n prop video about Assab, #Eritrea. The debate about border demarcation that dominated during the TPLF rule now seems to be over. Abiy appears to have a different plan: to redraw the border. Meanwhile, #PFDJ are passionate about a farm in Gulo Mekeda, #Tigray." https://x.com/alema_kidus/status/1825373051715719534

They want to annex, period!

Insanity. This man wants more wars. I guess no elections either.
