As long as Sland's leadership is not telling the general public the truth or continues painting an alternative reality that is not based on facts, the people of Awdal will be forced to choose direct confrontation over peaceful settlement. It would have been ideal for the secessionists to learn something, really anything from Goojacadde. It looks like they haven't. Only a few seemed to have accepted the reality on the ground. Others are continuing with the same bravado and insults toward reer Awdal.

The khat consumption alone would have cost hundreds of thousands daily. I do remember Boolo and others giving themselves an arbitrary deadline for SSC and Hiil H-force's financial demise.

Wow

When it is not your land...

I see a before and after video.

Buying time

It will be slow and painful. Unfortunately, the civilians will pay the price.

And it is concerning there are two camps now when it comes to the Isimadda.

Netanyahu might not survive this round though I think not cuz of the Americans.

These men are out of step with the public's views. It seems they want to hold on to their own power.

galbeedi, I am aware of all of that. And it does not really matter who the chants are directed at as it leads to further instability. Abiy is a liability to the region as clearly shown by the constant war he inflicted on his population since he came to power. Any war against Eritrea or Somalia will draw in other regional powers and it will be a war of attrition. Despite the shiny toys and parades, the Ethiopian forces are not in a position to fight a proper army. They barely control the Amhara region and only control Tigray region with TPLF's consent. I share your sentiments about Somali leaders, clans and admins. I do agree Awdal should have its own state be within Somalia proper or as a decentralized region within Somaliland. I personally prefer the former, but the decision is ultimately reer Awdal, Hargeisa, and Mogadishu would have learned to live with it.

I now live in a swing state where Biden barely won. Many people plan to stay home come 2024.
