That is right. The stars seem to be aligning for Berebera. Djibouti is running out of capacity even with 2 new ports one dedicated for Potash and the other for cattle/meat. Speed of implementation maybe critical before the crazy Arabs again change their friendships and enmities among each other.

Galbeedi, you give too much credit to Wayanes saxib. There is no better honor for a Somali than to confront what he/she believes to be unjust and undignified. It is our history and that is probably why we are still killing each other. It is an insult to your dignity to fear Wayanes online and to think that you having an opinion on a Somali forum will bring disaster to someone else. For your information, the FBI, the CIA, the Turkish Intelligence, Russian Mafia, Somali President, Dead Meles's family and Muse Bihi probably read SOL. Who the f**** cares? We come here to discuss topics we believe are relevant for the day and that is it. Don't let a Wayane or his collaborators in Somaliland silence your online voice. Information is important and the best way to help your cause is to not let others dictate the narrative. Create your own narrative. Take the lead.

Forgiving about what? Maxa la isku hayaa? Somalis are usually good in putting a show, That is just a facade, but always harder to work and compromise. Time to build the nation, and forget about the trivial things that divide people.

This is a great show. I would say this is not unique for puntlanders, it shows how desperate somali people in every corner of the country hoping for better future. Abdiwali is acting differently than other former putland presidents! The credit goes to Abdiwali but also Farmaajo himself. This is a moment for somali people to seize, it is just for the survival of the nation and it's people.

Samafal must be pulling a joke on us. From all accounts, Abdiweli is doing a terrible job in Puntland. If people had a choice, they would get rid of him today.

galbeedi, If my posts in any way or shape gave you some bad feeling, you have my sincere apology. I only discuss issues and information never persons not even political group or parties. Here are the way I approach information and or discussion on SOL. Since its assumed that most members here are Somali (except maybe me Tigray) and basic expectation is that issues should be seen from effect will have on the Somali. 1. Regardless of any regional and political differences, does it benefit a Somali even an individual. Since the Somali cannot stop now being scattered every corner of the world, the next best thing is that a Somali be success story where ever he/she is; Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Canada, Sweden, Britain..etc. I feel really good seeing the Somali being successful in business, politics of any country or region. I don't know, neither do you that the Somali diaspora will return home. But I know one thing: If the Somali becomes like the Jewish in Uganda, they can arm twist Museveni to do good by Somalia. 2. The destruction of Ethiopia at this time will have a totally destructive outcome for the Somali. Destruction of your opponent is good only and only time where you are prepared, organized to take all advantages presented. I don't see the Somali taking advantage or benefiting from what ever major realignment happening in Ethiopia. In reality it will be worst than what the status is currently. It will also bring total realignment of the horn of Africa. Djibouti and Somaliland interest is that Ethiopia continue even in a crippled status, since they both can be biggest losers in the shifting sand. Eritrea would be the next or even first to go since its composition and oppression of nationalities and Religious oppression is quite deep. So much so that the Jeberti in Eritrea now have opposition organization. That is unthinkable in Afar and Tigray in Ethiopia. The Jeberti in Ethiopia do not see themselves as ethnic or even having any difference than Religion and even that is not a difference. All Moslems (Tigrigna speakers, more than 90% of Tigray) in Tigray are Jeberti. Same in Eritrea, that Tigrigna speaking Moslems are Jeberti. 3. Unlike what I have seen from some postings, I think that at this time, people should appreciate organization and stability even on village or hamlet level. You cannot negotiate or even the worst case fight against so many directions. Instead of spending time and energy for the Somali in NFD to come to Somalia, the best thing maybe is to encourage by all means the Somali in Kenya to take over Kenya. The Somali has a good opportunity to be the go to middle man or re conciliator among the fiercely competing and fighting nationalities in Kenya. If the Somali is seen as fair everyone will consider his opinion and input and place him in high places and in a generation the whole thing changes. This is most practical and easier to do than bloodshed for unknown end. I am not an AI bot. Weyannie cannot be "under every bed" or under every tree shed. The greatest quality of Weyannie is that they really study and know cultures, and most importantly interest of peoples. Example: A Tigray living among Afar in 6 months will do every attempt to speak AfarAf (AfAfar). No other nationality in Ethiopia is as good at this. We SOLers also should not think we are more than what we are. I don't take myself too seriously to assume that Weyannie will spend money, time, technology on me. Tigray may have and still may use some of the latest spy sofware from Israel, Italy or Russia, but rest assured Tigray has no money or capability to right AI programs on Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia...issues. Countries are generally speaking like individuals. Loyalty to certain issues no matter what is a character for trustworthiness. I find Egypt always unfailingly short of this character. Palestinians, Yemen, Sudan, Libya are some examples. Shouldn't the Somali have expected the Egyptians to come to Somalia in 1992. Even if they cannot help with the political situation, they should have been there in the distribution of the food (American, Canadian, European..), helping with medical service something they can do within their means? Cuban doctors help some Latin american countries from collapse. When time comes many will be surprised of who I am, why I participate here and hopefully Eurika. Peace for you and I and everyone.

Excellent idea, but maybe too early. If the country is not consolidated and have an administrative control its difficult to implement. Ethiopia go debt relief to the tune of 11 billion USD. The way it was done was: The government negotiated and compensated companies that were nationalized by Mengistu. Russia forgave about 5 billion through the Paris club of lenders and Canada followed Russia and within a year every other country even US followed through begrudgingly and all lenders fell like domino. Then the WB and IMF came with new loans and grants and the next cycle of debt accumulation started now up more than 30 billion already (but mostly on infrastructure, education and health). Ethiopia had one chartered university now has more than 30. Debt relief can also have negative impact internally. Fight over the money can fracture the government, or create suspicion and instability. It may be great to prepare the plan on how to approach it, when time comes, but this time will be hard to find a country to start the ball rolling and internally there may not be good ground work done for it. No one for sure knows how regions will demand or react to such conditions. Open and transparent agreement with regions may be a good way to prevent fighting and accusations of corruption that can be damaging to government now.

Galbeedi, don't mind the ethiopians. They are as clannish as we are and OO is defending his Tigray clan.

Debt forgiveness is good but won't they just pile on the debts again just like the first time ? We are dealing with unscrupulous kleptocratic Africans after all, not Japanese or Scandinavians.

SISI is a typical dictator and unpredictable. He is not loyalty to anyone but he can not survive without his friends who brought him to power. There will be no war between Ethiopia and Egypt. There are more similarities than differences. The water issue will be solved in mediation by friends of these countries. Ethiopia will probably have a new regime change similar than one they had 1991. Preparation for Adisaba oromo take over are already in place. We should cautious the replacement of Wayaane controlled puppet Hailemarium.
