I see a new guddi being set up to solve the election impasse, which then will propose that the election be pushed to 2025. Talk about mocking the citizenry. Muse will not leave willingly.

Our friend Oodweyne has never been good at reading the changing political landscape. He is the same man who thought the world would consult Sland on the lifting of the arms embargo and debt relief.

Muse Bihi will kick the can down the road as long as he can. I get he is prepping his sub-clan for reintegration into Somalia, securing the Berbera, Hargeisa, and Gelibey corridor.

Many can claim credit, but Wasiir Beyle deserves much ululation.

Field Marshall Berhanu Jula, Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (#ENDF), admits to using drones on human targets. He vowed to continue the use of drones at extremist gatherings and cautioned the general public to refrain from mingling with extremists.

It does not look good when the perception of injustice is supported by actual numbers.

Cajiib

As long as Mr. Aabbahay does not come close to Villa Garowe, Farole can continue what he wants.

So, this extension is okay with them. I love to hear their reasoning other than having possible 'allies' in the current parliament.

I assume opposition leaders support this? I haven't heard or seen any complaining about it.

I wonder if the constitutional amendments will still stand as it regards the number of political parties. Nobody wants to see three parties with expiration dates.

I am not a fan of Deni and in the end, he is to blame! Having said that, I hope he wins. I don't see Asad, Ina Farole, and Shire being any better. The only silver here is no next extension past the end of the term, something for future leaders to consider. The year 2024 will be a consequential year for Puntland and Somalia.

That's tragic! Ironically, no one in the opposition seems any better than Deni. I don't know if that will help win again. I am assuming reer SSC elders will select their MPs?

I never understood why any Somali group thinks they can impose their will on others. Hargeisa might be the last to figure that out. Jumping from any possible savior to another will not win them anything. The Oromo thing has actually befuddled the youth.

Let's hope so. Even an indirect election on January 8 seems unlikely at the moment. The political decoupling of SSC and Pland is another issue. It would be rather unfair for MPs from SSC to decide the presidential winner.

I heard many say SNM's original goal was never to secede and break up the country, and secession was forced on people by more radical elements at the last minute. Does this account for the lack for the lack planning and foresight?

It seems like a good idea if everybody was on board, but I am afraid it might complicate things. Do you know if Deni and the opposition are on board?
