I disagree.  The enemy of somali are beesha onlf as far as the problems in somali galbeed are concerned. It's s because of their failure in political leadership as well as their one subclan mindless struggle that brought nothing but misery for the people in zone 5 which is the main cause of everything that is wrong with that place. If the cancer cannot be removed it should be contained. 

 

And then you went to the rails.

 

Xaaji,

The enemies are clear. We must be clear it is naïve to think Somalis will get any good deal from any entity in Addis. The very nature of Ethiopian existence is those in power oppresses everyone else. Different groups and clans in Somali-Galbeed need to come together and have a coherent strategy.

Let's not generalize entire communities reerwalba in fiican iyo in xun waleeeyhay. ONLF is on their own non of the somalis in Somalia and Somaliland  djbouti support them. So the situation is very difficult hadaad  hiil walaalka ka weydid

It's problematic 

 

Though I believe Mahdi and admiral cismaan need to find new ways to fight  Ethiopia  New tactics new strategy

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

I agree  with you  che  100 percent

So, let me understand they will set up an organization to fight ONLF but not Woyanes and Oromo who has been massacring Somalis?

The same story all the time. Anyone that wants to have a go at the poor small Tilly, will go to Addis Ababa find support from there then create all kinds of excuses. Now there is this word called democracy, yet its a democracy that says mr. Y from O cannot be president and Mr. Y from O cannot be leader of opposition.

The cart before the horse.

Ask anyone how many wells will you dig more than the next man, how many schools will you open more than the next man, how many consultations will you do with nomands...they become deer in headlights.

In the first place there is an achievement already that is self government. Every Somali worth his salt need to recognize this and protect it like his eye lid. Even ONLF recognizes this while it was the target and victimized the most. There were times even district governors came from other Ethnic speaking another language and the Somali had to find interpreter to plead his case.

Army and Police marauding every village from different culture, language and even faith.

I think that is a far out outlook. No beesha can be an enemy. The first enemy is actually beesha this beesha that approach. How did all the Somali parties from different beesha and provinces got together in 1984, 1994, 2005 and agreed self government as minimum program and common program and succeeded?

No doubt in mind one a country will merge out of there like South Sudan.

I agree. The problem is every time it gets closer, the Somali splits, because they can see power and think can grab it before its set up. The Ethiopians also recognize the risk of the Somali getting ready and bring all their tools to good use to put the Somali few steps backward.

very true, it was always the Somalis, this region had nothing to do with Ethiopia, till they annexed, and is one of the last colonized place on the world.

The headline talks about a future election in Ethiopia and the Kilil which is not due until 2020.

Whenever elections take place the ONLF will be one of the contestants. They the ONLF and others know that the name of the Somali Galbred will be  the “ the Somali regional government “ within Ethiopia or Somali Galbeed if it becomes independent. 

The Dire Dawa conference is organized by former members of the Cabdi Illey party , elders controlled by politicians and others who will not have any effect on the short term outcome of the zone. 

At the moment ,the ONLF or others can’t take the power as outsiders , just like the armed Ethiopian opposition ,The Gimbot 7 , Oromo Liberation Front and others. They are allowed to participate the process democratically and ONLF is not different.

The best option in this transition time will be for Cabdi Illey to finish his term which ends with one and half year or his Vice President to finish the term and prepare for the elections  while keeping the institutions and the security apparatus intact. If things disintegrated, the Somali fiasco of 1991 will be child’s play , because the Somali Zone is diverse and difficult to keep to gather. Also few tribes hasve an exclusive zone to make their own region like Puntland, Somaliland or other tribal homelands of Somalia. There are a lot of unknown.

In terms of ONLF,  there is no otherSomali group or  entity that has any plans for the future questions of the Somali Galbred. Last weekend I did participate a conference by the Local branch including a delegation that just came back from Asmara and their minimum requirement was a future referendum and total control of their government before that date. Their first priority is total independence.

 

the biggest advantage for the Somalis is that the region had never mixed with the larger Ethiopian system. Other than the name which could be changed , the ONLF by far represent the distinction of the Somalis refused to bow down and quit. Despite the hardships and oppression they suffered , they never gave up. Somalis from Hargrisa, Garoowe, Kismaayo and Mudug had surrounded to the Ethiopian pressure. 

Even Farmaajo joined in August of 2017, and since that faithful day his star is declining and  he might not even recover for ever from the Qalbi Dhagax fiasco. Folks, despite their name , they have taken to themselves the duty of every Somali to join the librarian of their land from the Abyssinian colonial yoke. Unlike other , they were not fighting other Somalis which gives them a place in the table. Hating the OG community will not resolve the issue, they are integral part of Somali Galbeed.

I was a  fervent opposition of Illey and the system in Jijiga ,but the alternative is a total chaos. The transition period  must be implemented like a fragile child  that can slip anytime.

Further more , all other Kilils in Ethiopia are going slowly to the changes. Mr. Abiy was member of the EPRDF until few months ago, including those who are running the  Oromo Kilil where thousands are killed by the TPLF order. 

The Somali Kilil must be kept intact , and power transfer can only come through elections. No Shir Beeled led by outsiders will fix the Somali problem. Cumar Ghelle was the architect of the failed Somali conferences and  the best advisor of Meles Zenawi for 20 years.

Folks, the Somali Galbeed issue will be resolved in Jijiga and within the country. Besides,  no one can determine the outcome of future elections, and non of you guys have any clue the make up the Somali population in the Kilil.

[galbeedi]

Put it simply, the ONLF are the proud Somalis of our time  that refused to surrender. I have met their members  and they are anti colonials of our fathers.
