I can't understand why this conflict keeps re-igniting. I always thought it was the normal Somali clan conflict over grazing land, deegaan, or aano? Is there a bigger issue at play? It should have been put to bed by now.

No one prayer's prayers and thoughts are ever answered if there is ill intention which I don't. I wrote "as it was imagined" for a reason. Those who support secession forcefully emphasize there is no Somaliland without the Harti territories. And clearly, people in these lands don't want to secede. The arrogant and foolish have been saying dadbaa guura dhul ma guuro, but the reasonable people understand Somaliland could have truly achieved through genuine negotiation. A confederation with Djibouti won't work legally and politically. The only true solution for Somalis is to stand and talk. And I appreciate the craziness in Xamar.

Yes, he figured Wrsangeli wouldn't shoot him right away. This is not confirmed yet. He is worse than Bootaan.

Any man can rise to all unexpected occasions. Let's hope Zaylici does. Riyaale would have been better suited. Cirro is useless as a politician and as an opposition leader. And I was surprised Jirde was on that stage too.

Galbeedi, This picture says a lot. No Faratoon or Koore, two slavishly loyal men. Hargeisa has given up on reer SSC and they know the likes of Faratoon and Koore are useless. Even Mahad is no longer useful. According to reports, he gave up himself to Xingalool residents hoping to get better treatment.

There's already no Somaliland as it was imagined. If the political objective of Somaliland was a unified and independent North, that ship sailed with the fall of Las Anod and the Pland election in Eastern Sanaag. If the appointment of Zaycili would bring some respite, great! Any stability is welcomed especially in order to avoid Habro civil war which would be catastrophic for the whole region! But I do believe Somaliland as a political and administrative unit is over, The time is now for Awdal to act. Despite Muse' call for another round of violence, I can assure you each Habro is beginning to think of its own future beyond Somaliland (as we understand it today), Reer Awdal was forced in 91 into an arrangement the majority didn't support. They now have a chance to do things on their own terms whether that be independent federal region or within Somaliland. P.s. There was already a coup of sorts. Muse extended his term and he wants to dissolve the only parties that could have challenged Kulmiye.

Press Conference by SSC Leader

They should have listened to Shabeel.

Former Prez Sharif asks for investigation

He should be locked up with the rest.

There was more photo-op for HSM. There's a lack of seriousness!

It's a move and gesture for HJ. I am surprised the young men who captured him didn't kill him. HJ has a lot of men and material. There's already over fight over who he gets what. There were some skirmishes in Caynaba.

The speaker in my last post might have talking about this BM.

Here's brief explanation. It seems they panicked when the first base fell. SSC were already to set up to ambush when they ran off West. Bootaan try to regroup but it was late. Here's a brief explanation
