Somalia is rising despite the evil Gulf plots and the cheap and weak maneuvering of the opposition.

In the world of democratic politics, the opposition has to be loyal to the overall aspirations of the state and the rule of law. While opposing government  policies and how they manage the state affaires, it is their primary duty  to insist on  the supremacy of the rule of law.

 

In Venezuela, the opposition leader anointed himself president without winning or even running an election. He thought with the help Trump and others his illegal coup would be successful. Mr. Juan Guido not only failed to replace the legal president, but has damaged any peaceful transition in his country. 

 

In KIsmayo,  Ahmed Madoobe, after eight years in power, had  assembled his own hand picked members of regional assembly and crowned himself president. He refused to allow any opposition candidate to contest the election. That power grap was rejected by the federal government while the international community raised the alarm earlier.

 

It was expected fpr Madoobe to hold on to power by any means necessary,  but What wasn't expected was former leaders including two presidents to applaud this illegal takeover. As future contestants who are preparing their campaign to unseat FArmaajo, what would they do if Farmaajo hand picks the next parliament and crowns himself. Be careful for what you wish.

 

This move by these leaders is a wake up call for most Somalis. The  Somali opposition is probably bought by foreign governments including the UAE and Kenya. Everyone who is in the pockets of UAE has followed the same logic of supporting the illegal takeover of Madoobe. Despite its weaknesses, so far the Somali government had taken the  high road . While it was easy to make some money and join the evil alliance of the gulf, the Somali government had chosen  to be neutral. 

 

According to a Turkish publication, The Daily Sabah, the Saudis had approached the Somali government one more time this summer. Since the UAE is withdrawing from Yemen and the coalition is  in tatters, the Saudis had offered the Somali government to join the coalition against Yemen and Qatar with $80 million dollar offer. These are the same group throwing billions  of dollars to prop up the foreign exchange accounts of Ethiopia, Sudan and Pakistan. They assume that since Somalis are cheap and poor , few millions might buy them in  exchange for our youth to be cannor fodor's of the gulf.

 

Thanks to the current government, Somalia rejected that offer. The Qataris who are victims of the Saudi/UAE blockade were impressed by the principle stand of the Somali state and had decided to double their effort to help Somalia economically and militarily. The Saudis didn't stop there but sent an invitation to Muuse Biixi to intimidate Somalia by recognizing the Somaliland passport as an official document that allows Somaliland leaders to travel to the Hajj. On the other hand, Mr. Deni and Puntland had seen first hand how UAE looted and schemed Somaliland by offering just five million dollars a year to manage the Berbera without adding any meaningful value. Rather than scrap the old deal and sign a new one either with Qatar , China or someone else, he just followed the plot of Xaaf, Hassan Sheikh,  Biixi ,UAE and lost the geopolitical economy to Hobyo. Soon the NGO money will dry and no one will be able to pay the do nothing 40 ministers of Puntland.

 

This gulf Arabs are so stupid anyone with right mind can create an elaborate scheme to take away their cash . Maybe we should promise them 25,000 Somali youth , cash in few billions,  and tell them to get lost. The Trump family had made millions including Jared Kushner who borrowed or schemed $600 millions from the gulf stoges to finance his tower in Manhattan.

 

The Farmaajo/Khayre duo are winning against the gulf and their mercenaries back home. Both  the opposition, led by Hassan Sheikh and Shariif Ahmed, including C/raxman Cabdishakur, and regional governments led by C/laahi Deni of Puntland, Ahmed Madoobe and Muuse Biixi have one common benefactor and boss--THe UAE and Kenya to some extent. As we speak , they are all speaking in one voice against Somalia in favour of either Kenya or UAE. 

 

A friend of mine from Burco, whom I didn't hear for a while lately, called me last weekend and asked to meet up. He told me that he had some interesting news from Mogadishu and Hargeisa. Since I am a political junkie who likes these issues, I run quickly to the nearest coffee shop and sat down for a chat.

 

He said he had a good news and a bad news. I said tell me the bad news first.

 

He said the bad news is "Farmaajo and company will be leaving and will be replaced by Hassan Sheikh in just  little over a year and half. We will be supporting him and also supplement  him with one of those Puntlanders from the east ( Mid Reer Bari ah oo aan Somaliland dhib ku hayn ayaanu ku daraynaa), probably Deni or another well connected Reer Bari. We have spent tons of money on HAG politicians and others  in Mogadishu and the result will show up soon". He continued, " Anyone who is against Somaliland in the past or present will be disqualified by Hassan Sheikh to hold any high office". He added, " We told Shariif Ahmed and Hassan to find common front and  let one of them be the candidate, but it was impossible to bridge the gap"

 

How about the good news? I said.

 

He said, " the northern politicians who are working with Farmaajo today, especially vice premier Khadar, Maareeye and C/raxman Bayle will be destroyed politically , although Bayle isn't a load mouth as those two, the southern politicians are mad with those guys and will be thrown out of the parliament" " " Since you were always interested in Mogadishu politics , and Hassan Shekh needs a new group of norther guys to fill government jobs and the parliament , you will be among those people,  provided you play the game nicely and forget these anti Somaliland rhetoric".  Furthermore, "if they offer you a job, do not take those dangerous places were you have to aggravate other tribes."

 

He advised me to take care of myself and get with the program. I protested and told him that I " wasn't  interested about making money if the country doesn't improve or if I can not contribute something valuable to the equation.

 

The moral of the story is that  the Somali Alphabets movements who destroyed our country are teaming up once  again to keep the status quo and prevent any meaningful change. THey are teaming up from Kismaayo to Mogadishu, Garoowe and Hargeisa. These are the same groups who have destroyed our country. It means that the current government is an outsider , an agent of change that represent, We The People.  It means the current government is doing something right which unites both the separatist and the Kenyan faction. 

 

How can we trust those who destroyed the nation to lead it again. When the nation goes down, the elite and the instigators will disappear to foreign capitals, but the larger Somali public who were poor but managed to survive under their flag and nation had suffered the most. Today, it is those poor Somalis who are joining the army and dying for others to live in peace.

 

We , the silent majority , reject the policies of the opposition and their oligarchs who are serving the interest of foreign powers like UAE , Kenya and others.

 

Once again regional governments have been exposed as fraud, as nothing but a checkpoint to fill the pockets of the few oligarchs. People are discarding the false loyalty of the larger clan connection to their local community and those they share neighborly,  brotherhood and destiny. People were no longer willing to sacrifice their life and future to the false pride of the tribe that doesn't help them in their times of need. People in Boosaaso want their local sons to police their neighborhood than someone from Garoowe or Qardho. The same way the people of Zaylac want their sons to work at the custom office, police station and local ministries instead of people from Burco and Berbera. People want their local taxes to improve their lives than being pocketed openly by the mayor. We have been mesmerized about the centralized government of yesterday, yet, today, no one is more centralized than the regional governments.

 

The Tigray army sales to the regional governments, and the NGO unlimited cash from Nairobi had created false impressions of governments that could not even pay the salaries of the local police. Somalis had sacrificed their national government for a false flag that doesn't answer for the needs of their people. 

 

Sheikh Aadan Seero, the Sheikhul Beled  of Hargeisa, was speaking out about the looting of public purse and land by the ruling class. He narrated how Ismaaciil Cali Abokor, one of the most powerful member of the SRC of Somali, how his family were broke immediately after he was arrested .If you compare the open looting of today to 1985, you will be shocked. Libraries, government houses and public offices were sold. The governor of Awdal doesn't even has an office to operate after they sold the government house built by the British. Waar Ummaddii Soomaaliyeed Budhcad baa heshay.

 

Now who do you want to lead the next government?. Outsiders like us would have been a perfect fit for the nation because we would not be intimidated by the greedy rebels who destroyed our country and would have crashed everyone regardless of their clan or geography. But, if we the good people,  can not make it , then our choice between Hassan Sheikh and Farmaajo is simple. WE will choose Farmaajo any day against Hassan Sheikh , the oligarchs and their benefactors.

 

 

 Folks, the lines had been drawn . You are either with us, we the people, or with the oligarchs.

Si fiican ayaa u hadashay, Galbeedi. Qabiilistiyaasha qurunkooda ha dhag jalaqsiin. Soomaaliya mustaqbalkeeda meel wanaagsan ayuu maraayaa. Much better than the elsituation was in 2009. And certainly a lot more improvements than the anarchy days of 1999.

Someone ia auditioning for a minor role in Villa Somalia.

It is a bit late sxb. I wish you campaigned this hard in 2017, you may have been given a minor civil servant role and be out the door by 2018. And be mucarad like other sycophant are by 2019.

The sad part is he has mistaken his kacaan philosophy for patriotism.

Just like typical apologists, blaming the anti-Afwayne movements. When in fact it was squarely Afwayne that destroyed everything. 

If Afwayne took a leaf from Mingistu Haile Mariam and engineered his exile without plunging the country into chaos and fighting until he is forcefully removed. That would have saved the country and probably we would have been in a much different place today. 

Cheeseman has tried to refashion Afwayne's regime. But the forces who exiled his old uncle and defeated him in the battlefields, have once again made sure the Cheeseman will go into the history books as the most incompetent, cowardly President since Afwayne. 

It is not just Somalis that have written him off, it is the International Community as well. Below is an excerpt of latest report form SRSG Swan. 

Quote

Key benchmarks risk falling behind agreed timelines. Further progress may be delayed without renewed dialogue and cooperation among all stakeholders. Setting the stage to achieve these goals between now and 2020 will require accelerated efforts in the next several months. This will also require political consensus and compromise among Somali leaders at the national level – both the Executive and Legislative - and particularly between the Central Government and Federal Member States, on how best advance.

Mr. James Swan is being diplomatic, odey iyo umuliso midba sidu wax u ogyay uma sheegaan. But the dismay and disinterest of Beesha Lixaad is obviously clear. Mr. James mentions the next few months as being crucial. I say, even if Cheeseman had 3 years left, the tasks he is been asked to achieve, he won't. He simply doesn't have the 'political currency' to get it done. He is lameduck, counting his days.

Suldaanka,

I would advice Farmaajo to ask the current parliament two more years of extension , finish the job and not seek re-election. 

Waa Talo Wanaagsan hadduu qaadanayo.

What happened to the galbeedi here.

Moodabe derangement syndrome.

Instead of the informed, matured, respected elder here you have been reduced to a troll.

All Moodabe is telling you is that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. The Abiy, Afwerqi, Farmaajo train has hit a snag. Its hundred miles an hour trip through SWS fields has now to go into some mountainous territory.

As all the propaganda about pipeline to Assab, modern road to Assab and functioning port for Assab has all but disappeared now, the latest charade about Hobyo will follow swiftly.

Either on principle you are against any foreign interference or you have to accept if your brother chooses Saudi interference your other brother will choose Egyptian interference.

 

I did not mention Ethiopia since these days Ethiopia is not a guest, but a brother, part of the family in Mugadishu.

OO,

I thought we passed the time when a regional government used to collaborate a hostile neighbor. THe foreign policy of Somalia is decided by the national government not the regional leadership or Somali towns like Kismaayo or Baydhabo. You want us to break the law and give consent with to an outlaw because he got a gun? no way.

What counts is the behaviour of the foreign powers. Turkey has base in Somalia with soldiers , yet we are not complaining about their presence. You always describe these  Somali entities as national governments free to devise their plan, but in Tigray, despite their power and established regional government , they do not go out of their way to meet foreign powers without the Ethiopian federal government consent.If you are claiming the legitimacy of the federal government is equal or parallel with a man who rules KIsmaayo, then you must be out of touch of reality. No one can claim legitimacy to rule within the country without following the principle of fairness and rule of law.

Unlike before, the Ethiopia army movements are dictated or requested by the Somali governmet.It looks like you didn't get the message. The Ethiopia of Abiy Ahmed is not a threat as the TPLF led government of yesterday.  No regional government will no longer allowed to work with a foreign power against the guidelines of the federal government.

Next month the maritime dispute with Kenya will be decided by the international court. If Kenya rejects the verdict, they will be no longer eligible to stay in KIsmaayo. A foreign government claiming territory from Somalia can't be allowed to remain within our borders. AS soon as they depart so does Madoobe. 

All these kids talk about dictatorships of the past to make a case for their tribal dictatorship. THe Somali dictatorship of yesterday would have disappeared just like the rest of Africa. It wasn't the rebels who made the ultimate decision to destroy the country but their sponsor Ethiopia who made sure for the nomads to self destruct each other. THeir were dictatorship in Kenya, Sudan, Egypt and many other places, and those who overthrow their governments through violence was made possible by arms of foreign powers. Without Mengistu these nomads would had just complained like the rest of the world.

Who is delusional here ? 

A bunch of guys willing to sacrifice everything for a warlord who have done nothing meaningful for eight years or the rest of us who want the people to decide and elect their leaders without intimidation? 

I do not expect justice with a bunch of greedy tribal anarchists who want to score points. Deep down they know they would be nothing but useful idiots who sacrificed their national aspiration for unrepentant world.

Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia are:

Middle east/Africa in UAE/SAUDI/EGYPtian camp

World are in America/French camp

Somalia according to you is in Turkish/Qatar camp

Is Farmaajo so independent, so powerful like America to be able to play the Saudi and Qatar camps?

You may have your wishes, but you are not unrealistic.

 

Farmaajo is so weak he always tries to avoid Djibouti, so afraid that Afwerki and Abiy will not be happy.

 

The only reason Faarmajo could not take measures during the Puntland elections, but easily took in SWS, with Ethiopians to boot, is simply because Puntland is relatively most organozed, most powerful, most impactful of all regions.

Before the changes in Ethiopia/Eritrea the grouping was:

Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia with Turkey and China. That now is little damaged. I say little because no one except China can maintain Ethiopia alive economically. If Turkish get enough time and resources to focus in HoA, they have enough support even in Ethiopia. Sudan not much changed, they already confirmed all projects with Turkey will continue as agreed.

As long as Sissi is in Egypt, Eritrea will never even exchange greetings with Turkish.

 

How do you think is Farmaajo maneuvering between UAE and Qatar?

In case of Djibouti Farmaajo is with UAE, that you can see it in your sleep. He is with Eritrea and Ethiopia under UAE and America.

 

Soon Eritrea Egypt will be under total umbrella of Saudis

Ethiopia under UAE. What ever friction there is, will also impact them.

Awoowe siyaasadda soomaaliya waa nabar dilaaci waayay dastuurkeeduna dhismi maayo ayagoo kala maqan sida ku qoran garbadka kore

Nimankaan iminka talada wada waxay isku dayayaan in mindi yar ku dilaaciyaan cabaadka aad maqlayso waa intaas

X.sh iyo shekh shariif waxay ahaayeen madax kor ka subkaysay nabarka dawaadeedana aqoon u lahayn

Tusaale maamul baan dhisay i garab orda waa wax qabàd aad foolxun

Ma aaminsani inay la tartami karaan nimanka hadda talada haya oo wajahayà caqabad ishtihaadi ah.

Murankaan wuxuu keeni karaa xal u wanaagsan mustaqbalka madaxda soo socota.

Madoobe waa faas aan wax wayn goyn karin oo ku daaban kenya si nabada yuu usoo af-jarmi doonaa inshaa alaah, kismaayo marnaba kenya noqon mayso.

Waxaa kuusoo haray siyaasiyiinta waqooyiga ka yimid

Waxay u qaybsamaan labo.

Qayb qaabilsan iska horkeenka iyo motion abuurka, una shaqeeya snm iyo danaheeda guracan

Qayb daacada oo ay wajigooda ka muuqato sida khadar iyo bayle.

Marnaba daacad ma hungiwdo, farmaajo ama ha tago àma ha joogee mustaqbalooda siyaasadeed waa wax qabad dalka ku wajahan oo muuqda.

Tan ugu dambaysa

Reer burco haka waraysan siyaasadda koonfurta ma dambe si aadan usii wareerin.
