A new round of clan militia recruitment is underway. Muse and his sycophants seem to have lost their minds.

He is not making excuses unlike many.

It really depends on what a certain few men in Hargeisa decide to do. An all-out war is not sustainable for either side. Garaads, the new SSC leadership, and their military wing have been clear. They have no intention to fight as long as Sland keeps their forces on their side of the tribal border. They want to coexist peacefully, for commerce to resume, and for the movement of people to start again. Everybody understands this initial shock of defeat need to cool down. People will vent their anger but reality and acceptance will settle in. Sland politicians are in a particularly difficult position politically. They have no one to blame but themselves. Having said that, the Somali public is emotional and these emotions can be muted by a good leader. The biggest question now is does Muse Biixi wants to use this event as a means to stay in power at the expense of everyone or does he do the honorable thing and resign? Galbeedi's suggestion of handing the reigns of Zaylici is one way.

Few and far between!

The woman is insane! Should be reported to the authorities.

I hope he's remembered for establishing peace in the region. A war must have a purpose. Most Somali wars don't.

He sounds like a soldier who favors peace, something all true soldiers aspire to.

SSC leader Firdhiye appointed him to take over the overall command. The man seems measured, un-boastful (in a military aspect), and calculating. He gave reer SSC a piece of good advice. I hope they take it and also seek peace with their cousins on either side of the border.

Tallaabo, how do you reimagine Somaliland without HT-clans? And what if Awdal wants to separate?

So much for we were retreating and got ambushed, or got sabotaged, they were run over. They were thoroughly defeated and SSC reached Oog.

Indecisiveness kills and hinders! The fate of Sool was sealed when Garaad Jama Garaad Ismail invited all Garaads. Gacan Libaax needs such leadership. Honestly, Cirro is not the leader Somaliland needs now. What do you make of yesterday's statement from Burco community?

Was that the kid with the perfect Qaldaan accent? I wondered if he knew May-May?

Where were they going?

Gartay, laakiin Muse ciduu wax ka maqlo majiraan? Maxaadse ka qabtaa hadalka muuqaalka hoose? In particular, their statement about Gacan Libaax and GXJS.

Wow
