Dear Tallaabo, I don't know how you were ever in doubt about who these Somali 'leaders' answer to? Always keep in mind, the famous Zenawi chair where every Somali 'leaders' have debased themselves. I must add the 'leaders' in Mogadishu are in the same bout though the people of Mogadishu are fiercely Somali when it comes to other Somalis. Alpha, He might be mad but he does not deserve to be assaulted, nobody does.

They do, I was talking yesterday to a guy from his same clan and he was furious with the traitors as called them, they are under the pay of the UAE. The whole of Xamar is up and fed up with these guys.

The question comes down to what will you do with those who effectively undermine not just the government but the state itself? This reminds of me Gallan who started a rebellion once he was removed from power. It is mucaaradnimo without a cause.

What Abdishakur and Inc are doing is not political criticism. They are undermining wherever little institutions we have at the behest of foreign power.

The Somalis that are being killed reside in cities and towns across Oromia. These are not people that live in the border districts. The Oromo version of Liyu Police along with the general public are the ones that are carrying out the murders. The local and federal authorities have basically told the trapped Somali civilians are on their own. While the Liyu Police have indeed committed crimes, the killings by the Oromo are under-reported and largely target civilians. The number of displaced Somalis have also been under-reported. The Oromo has an advantage over the Somalis in that they have more influence at the federal level. The current situation was initially instigated by the TLPF but there always have been simmering tensions that were bound to explode. The situation was also happening in other parts of Ethiopia though at slower rate, many Amharas and Tigray were killed in Oromo. Tigray businessmen have been kicked out of the Amhara Region. Institutions and regions are becoming segregated. It is not clear if this is by a design or things are just getting out of hand. Anyway, the situation does not bode well for the region. As much as I like to see Ethiopia disintegrate, a collapse of Ethiopia would be catastrophic.

Maanta oo ay taariikhdu tahay 18/12/2017 waxaan si rasmi ah ugala noqday taageeradayda gooni isu taaga Somaliland sababtoo ah meeshu maaha meel dadku xorriyad haystaan. For the English language speakers: Today I have officially withdrawn my support for Somaliland independence. Although I was suspicious for a long time, it has now become very clear to me that Somaliland is completely in the grip of the Ethiopian regime. The elections and other political talk shows are just a smokescreen for the real direct rule from Addis Ababa. The last evidence I needed was the rapid and serious consequences for Cabdiraxmaan Dabcasar when he naively spoke in Hargeisa about liberating the Somali region of Ethiopia. When this unfortunate situation forced me to choose between a Tigray rule from Addis Ababa and a Somali rule from Mogadishu, I decided to keep the devil I know. Good luck to the remaining secessionists.

I totally agree with Che. There must be somewhere to draw the line. Sooner or later, someone should have done this, and stood up for the dark forces roaming havoc at the capital. These guys were undermining not only the current government , but the future aspirations of this wounded nation of ending being a vassal state, and a playground for foreign spies. The coming days will tell us if this government has the strength to overcome this high stakes confrontation, or crumble under the dark forces of Mogadishu Political Maffia. I hope they do survive and crush these dark forces, then comes the total annihilation of Alshabaab.

Che, please keep this issue alive. You are doing the Somali poeple a great service. Thank you for exposing the barbaric treatment of our Somali brothers in Ethiopia.

The murders that are taking place deep inside Oromo territory. I don't know what any Somali can do. Even Iley can do something, he's tool. He can't make a move without Woyane's blessing

This is a terrible mistake. Why does Somaliland police need to beat up a comedian wadaad who praised Somaliland (upsetting many of his supporters) and was only there to see his own kids in Hargeisa?

Tallaabo, Things are not what they use to be. Ask any Ethiopian of any background. ONLF is reporting 165 people killed. I don't know if they are exaggerating but the consensus is the number of dead is indeed high. The manner in which Somalis are being killed is cruel by any standard.

By the way, why are they chasing around Nimcaan Hilaac?

Your wrong. Even their clans don't support these traitors.

Disregard him, he doesn't have Somalia's interest at heart, he is a secessionist boy.

It is a big game plan, bigger than SOMALIS or OROMOS, it is survival tactics by Tigrey, and it is working. Agree, The Oromos have alot of issues, anger against SOMALIS.

And only if they would arrest Cumar Calooley and other UAE sponsored troublemakers

@Anisa_Hajimumin is honest, articulate and works hard.

Many villages in question belong to Somalis. Oromo are expansionists. They have already be given many predominantly Somali districts. They have already taken Dire Dhabe (though it is technically a specially administered city). Soon, they will be claiming Jigjiga. If you give them an inch, they will demand a mile. Somaliland and Puntland are also teeming with Oromo. They may look harmless but they have pent up anger. once unleashed will create havoc. The Woyanes will make sure Ethiopia disintegrates if they cannot hold on to power. They will invoke article 39 and make sure the shit hits the roof.
