Hardcore secessionist trying to spin as usual, but failing miserably. What baasabooro are these poor boys travelling in? Who is issuing those passports? And why are they going to Muqdisho first in order to be checked for health and for visas? Reer Falastiin, Masar, Suudaan aren't going to Muqdisho first in order to go to Dooxa, so your analogy is useless. Don't bother answering those questions because you have no answer for them.

That is why coldoon went there. he is recruiting big.

niyoow remember Yusuf Cambe Cambe's hotel Degel in mogadishu #4 district. not only did they take it, they builtinfront of it. finally Mayor of Magadishu Muungaab destroyed it and gave the property back to owner from Garowe. the occupiers were claiming the same thing. they owned it because they bought it. i am not surprised.

And is becoming quite common in a hurry. It makes sense. If you have money why be fighting yourself. People may think that you are the one to protect your money more than mercenary, but that is not always true. But do you realize nobody hires mercenaries on the way up? Roman empire started mercenaries when became too big, too old and wealth getting less. US also now a lot mercenaries, Russia, France, Gulf.. Somalia is struggling to get up. Mercenaries would just destroy it. When its up and oil, gas, minerals money starts floowing for sure will have mercenaries. Just a joke: How about Somalia hiring Amhara mercenaries?

Sure the TPLF without their grandmaster Meles Zenawi is more vulnerable in the face of resurgent Amhara and Oromo block. However, they still have a firm grip on the country both in terms of military and economy. Both Amhara and Oromo would not pose a clear present danger - perhaps at most a present nuisance more than anything else. TPLF have always sided with Somalis. I remember back in 1990s when I used to reside in Addis Abeba, a Somali had more rights and protection than an Oromo or Amhara in Addis Abeba. And in the political sphere the alliance was always there. This Oromo vs Somali is a manufactured conflict which may have one of its goals to send a wrong signal that Somalis need to unite against an imaginary threat. Which itself may have the knockon effect of persuading gullible ONLF leaders to think that this may be a chance. Anyway, the only thing that is changing right now is that the ONLF will lay down arms and assimilate into the regional Somali politics. I am not too sure how far they will get since Abdi Ilay seems to want to remain the de-facto blessed ruler there for the foreseeable future.
