Old_Observer Posted August 29, 2019 Defeat is an Orphan, Victory has many fathers. Last year: UAE was capturing Hudeida from its totally unfettered, no red line, port base of Eritrea. Saudi Arabia was bringing thousands of mercenaries, intensive bombing and assasinations to capture Seneaa. UAE had Aden, Berbera for granted and for insurance had South Yemen separatists, Somaliland protected from Abiy, Farmmajo, Afwerki...all strictly instructed not to touch Somaliland. Assab of course no need to guarantee, since Afwerki is ultimate guarantee, no threat. 2019: Hudeida has failed. UAE took too much time since Assab was useless for infrastructure Senaa has failed and now frontline moving to Saudi Arabia Aden is dangerous between Separatists, Al Qaeda and Hadi tribes KSA. Djibouti has survived the total encirclement and provocations from Ethiopia and Eritrea. Error free Djibouti. Somalia is almost in the same shape it was and no role to play in the whole activities. Next year will be sanctions if not shooting war between KSA and UAE and regime change in one of them. Iran will be major player and tacitly supported by Oman, Qatar, Kwait, Iraq, Jordan...who cannot wait to see the back of these vulgar, pompeous, cheating, lieing, cowardly Gulf cow boys.

Old_Observer Posted August 29, 2019 USA plans direct talks with Houthis in Yemen. The direct talks with Taliban, bypassing Afghan government, Pakistan and many others have been so successful, now the USA wants to do the same in Yemen, bypassing Hadi, and others. US Plans to Open Direct Talks With Houthis in Yemen - Reports © REUTERS / Khaled Abdullah Middle East WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States wants to initiate direct talks with the Houthi movement in an attempt to end the war in Yemen, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Trump administration is looking to prompt Saudi Arabia into taking part in secret talks in Oman with Houthi leaders to broker a cease-fire in Yemen, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the plans. The US plan to open direct talks with the Houthis comes at a time when fears of broader regional war are growing, according to the report. The Trump administration views Houthi forces in Yemen as "Iran proxies" and says Tehran should be held responsible for rocket and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, the report said. Over recent months, the Houthi militants have conducted several drone attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities. Yemen has been engulfed in an armed conflict between the government forces, led by President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi, and the Houthi movement for several years. A Saudi-led coalition has been conducting strikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request since March 2015. The conflict has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis in the country.

galbeedi Posted August 30, 2019 OO, The Saudis and UAE will lose big time in any military or adventure in the middle east. When Cali Cabdalla Salah was overthrown, the logical government were supposed to be the Islah party which dominated the parliament.Since Islah was a moderate Islamic oriented party, the Saudis begun to arm and finance both the Houthis and the C.A Salah controlled military. THe same Saudis were fighting the Houthis in Saada province for ages. THey revived Cali Salah and the Houthis while weakening the Cabdel Rabo Mansour government. Neither Obama nor Saudis targeted the Houthis while marching to the capital. Last weak when the UAE separatist armies took over Aden, the Yemeni tribes in the South had decided to team up and throw out the mercenaries. Since the overwhelming of the Yemenis reject the UAE and its mercenaries, Islah and the tribes might change the direction of the war soon. Since UAE is anti democratic and anti MUslim, they will create a chaos. In Somalia we had the same UAE mercenaries who were paid and controlled by them. THank God we threw them out of our last year while many corrupt regional governments were crying for UAE. The stars are alligned for Somalia. Our enemies are going down one by one. In Soomaalidu Tiihii iyo dhibtii ka baxayso waxa u daliila ah kuwii cadawgeena ahaa oo dhamaantood daciifay ama masiibo ku timid. Agoontii Imaaraadka iyo Tigreegu ka tagay waan u soo soconaaye Ilaahayow noo gargaar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 30, 2019 And another reason you should have admired and praised the move made by Soomaaliya's government by staying neutral the squabbles between Khaliijka countries. Our Tigrey guest wanted Soomaaliya u buraanburto, u sacabtunto xulufada Sacuudiga iyo Imaaraadka. You are proven wrong once again. Soomaalis are glad Imaaraadka pulled out of Muqdisho and left their base, by their own accord. The soldiers they trained had been causing problems in Muqdisho for years. No more. They were retrained and disbanded as a unit. They would have done what they did in Yemen if they were unchecked for the years to come. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets try some math: Eritrea is anti-Turkish: Afwerki spoke clearly during the Suakin Turkish plans and accused them of supporting Moslems (that card is still useful there) and he is 100% under America, Saudi, Egypt and UAE. Do you agree with those facts? PM Abiy is now fully anti-Turkish. So much so the Turkish projects in Afar, Tigray are on hold. He is under America, UAE and to some degree Saudi. So much so the almost complete GERD is being delayed under various invalid reasons. Farmaajo totally relies on Ethiopia and Eritrea. Only exception is Uganda since Uganda now has more power and support in Mugadishu than Farmaajo himself. Business, security, military connections. What gives? Can you square the circle? When ever Farmaajo is scared out of his wits he makes a trip to Djibouti after getting permission from Abiy and Afwerki. You are here telling us that Farmaajo is so smart, so powerful, so brave to navigate the Arab Sands as well as the Regional mud, and on top of that the Turkish and American undeclared tussle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holac Posted August 31, 2019 MMA, you are always hard on OO. Old_Observer is a very thoughtful supporter of the independence of the Somali race no matter where they call home. He is almost always right on matters relating to Somali politics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old_Observer is a very thoughtful supporter of the independence of the Somali race no matter where they call home. He is almost always right on matters relating to Somali politics. He is a Tigrey agent, a junior Gabre, who unfortunately learned to speak and read Soomaali language. When his Tigrey masters were in power, he was never the one against their wretched and failed intervention policies. In fact, he advocated those policies. He promotes each and every clan enclave, to be perpetual in conflict. That is why he likes to call them enclaves. He goes berserk when his stooges are removed from leadership (see Cabdi Ileey and Shariif Xasan for example). He never wants a strong Soomaali government (which he calls Muqdisho enclave). It is not Farmaajo he is against nor was Xasan Sheekh. He is against anyone who advocates a strong and independent Soomaali state, a state that protects and has power to protect its sovereignity. He is and was against Abey Axmed's peaceful solutions for conflicts - from day one. He doesn't welcome them. Why, one would ask. It is a simple - Abey removed Tigrey mafia amd agents out of power, from Xabashiland and in Soomaaliya. I hope other SOLers see him what he is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted September 1, 2019 MMA, Thank you for elevating me to such high level, even if it is internet. I never called Mugadishu enclave, it is not even close to be an enclave. The Somali enclaves are: Djibouti, Kililka, Somalialand, Somalia, NFD. Regardless of past history or future dreams you have, these are at the moment enclaves where Somali people administer themselves as unit of territory or people. That is my criterion and I think most SOLers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
