it looks like to me some former Admin under Silaanyo are not happy and keep spilling the beans!

It has become a culture and those who cry a regime is corrupt are only fighting for their turn at the till. If you ask someone who cries against corruption to list which one is worst which one is least destructive, they would be like deer in headlights. Corruption is everywhere west east africa europe Israel...The most damging corruption in Africa is sending the money outside of the country. Politically it tells you there is no hope no development no tomorrow in this country therefore I take the money and put it where it has future. On the other hand I could tolerate a corrupt official who would obtain land and set a farm, buildings, factory etc At least he/she is risking what they stole. Simply accusing someone of corruption has become fashion and no proof needed just get some poor people from the street and give them guns to be army of one corrupt against another. If the corrupt is in their group is tolerated if he is from another group the sky is falling. It has become norm. It is bad only when somebody else does it. It has become relative. There is no absolute and basic right or wrong. Its sad.

Good on him for not placing barriers.

Again, the dying breed of hardcore secessionist misleading SOLers. Why didn't you share the whole news clip instead of the few seconds of the so-called 'koonfur' guy? Better luck next time hiding dadka sida ariga camal cooska u cunaayo meesha jooga, as attested by this clip. Eebboow, all those dollars being spend those ugly leaves, coos is much nutritious than this. Acuudi bilaahi.

This document could be genuine as the AU does not deal with Somaliland directly. Just like Somalilanders using the Somalia passport, the government of Somaliland should not shy away from using the federal government in Mogadishu to achieve its goals whenever it is necessary.

Why are the Southerners in Somaliland called "illegal immigrants" in the tweet when they are not?

Well said Faraah Moalin.

As Farah Macalin said, now is not the time to make a deal. Ethiopia is getting weak by the year and may disintegrate sooner than later. If these tribal meeting between Illey and his cousins, then must be treated as such, but if this is ONLF, then they should not make any deal at this stage. I know General Gabre said, " I wish Meles would see this " but we are not amused. The war between Ormo and Somalis are over, and we turned the tide. As we speak , there was a collective demonstration done together by Somalis and Oromos in Dire-Dawa. Through our campaign and that of the " Jidwaaq' community , we stopped at the moment the TPLF and Illey campaign to saw death and destruction among friends. Diridhawa(SBN)Wararka naga soo gaadhaya ayaa sheegaya in mudaharaad balaadhan oo lagaga soo horjeedo dawlada Federaalka Ethiopia uu ka dhacay magaalada Diridhaba mudaharaadkan ayaa noqonya kii ugu horeeyay ee kadhaca caasimada labaad ee dalka kaas oo sida la sheegay iska hor imaad dhex maray ciidamada Booliska Fedaraalka iyo dadka Mudaharaadayay waxaana inta la ogyahay ku geeriyooday laba qof oo ay haleeshay Rasaas nool nool oo loo adeegsaday Dhinaca kale waxa la sheegay in markii ugu horsysay mudaharaadka ay di wadajir ah uga wada qayb qaateen Oramada iyo Somalida oo iyagu wada daga magaalada Xaalada Guud ee Ethiopia ayaa ah mid aan daganayn mudooyinkan danbe kacdoono badana kaga furmeen meelo badan oo dalka ah meelaha qaarkoodna aanay dawlada dhexe katalin ama tagiba karin diyaarado mooyee These hundred years ols land issue will not be resolved by Illey and his stooges. Also, the time has come to rebuild Western Somali liberation Front (WSLF) to prepare for the future take over of the region. We Somalis must be proactive, we can start the process now and create a movement in the diaspora that could take over the country as soon as the TPLF goes down. Somalis who feared for their life went to Jinacsani the Oromo Zone and were welcomed. We are joining with our Oromo brothers.

Few weeks ago, I thought this oodweyne character was probably a Jeegaan who was working overtime to help his hapless Jeegaan in the media. Since then , through his statements and some hard facts, I accepted that Oodweyne is indeed a West Burco guy albeit a bad one. Although it is hard to sift through his long drivels which are mostly meaningless balderdash, few things appear from his writings. First , despite his educational background and living in advanced country like Britain, Oodweyne just thinks like old Gadhcase who is sitting in Hotel Maansour and judging everything in terms of his tribal camels and guarding himself against the old tribal rivals of Southern Somalia. Second while he keeps the merits of his tribe and their rights against anyone else, he conveniently ignores the tribal actions of the Jeegaan for the some unknown reason. Although he might claim that the Somaliland project is paramount to him , he ignores those whose actions might undermine both the project and cohesiveness of the community. Like most tribal die hards, he is a symbol of contradictions. I tried to analyze what drives Oodweyne to ignore the unforgivable errors of the Jeegaan if he is genuine person who cares about people and their plight. Since then , I came in two conclusions. First, these are the actions of those whose bread are buttred by the Jeegaan. In other words, they are earning their groceries. That is usually the behaviours of guys who will always work with whomever government that comes to power. Cawil C. Ducaale comes to mind ,who went from Udub to Siilaanyo and now Biixi. I will not say anything more than that about Cawil since he is your maternal uncle and I, Galbeedi , will be honourable unlike the " Gun" Jeegaan. Second, Useful idiots. These Kind of actions are the behaviours of those from West Brco who are described by the Jeegaan as useful idiots. Just like the first group, these guys are also rewarded handsomely in terms of money , but they are also given ministerial positions, not for their individual capacity, but for their tendency to keep singing what we call in the Somali tradition the typical " Noolow Madaale iyo Guulwadayn". This characters are chosen specifically to be deployed against their own kin to further the Jeegaan agenda. THere was this friend of mine from east Burco , and when I ask him about the reasons they keep using old farts like Warancadde who is not a Kulmiye, He used to say, " Waxaan ku Karbaashaynaa kuwa reerkiisa ee dowlada ka soo horjeeda". Another useful idiot from West Burco was a man by the name of Cadaani who left Minneapolis with Ahmed Samatar and became the laughing stock of his own community. He said, "Mujaahid Siilaanyo dar Illahay baan U jecelahay". He was specifically deployed to insult chairman Cirro and company. Every time someone from WAddani camp or West Burco community said something bad about Siilaanyo and his government, this useful idiot Cadaani , will hold the court to insult Cirro and everyone on behalf of the Jeegaan. After the election was over, he was kicked in the teeth and thrown out. In fact, when he was transferring his ministerial position, he cried like a baby. This behaviour is not only specific to West Burco, but all across Somaliland. If you said something bad against the Jeegaan ruling class your cousin or Suldaan will come to the microphone and dp the usual attack. Having seen your behaviour since you came back from home after the election, you are trying hard to atone the crimes of the Jeegaan. You never said openly that the election was rigged by Kulmiye, and they must be accountable in every move they make. You just kept repeating your tribal metaphor of expecting your tribal cousins to give you the power next time. Well, the leader might have been from your clan, but millions of people have wronged and robbed, and we are not willing to take it anymore quitely. Furthermore, you keep attacking my motivations and saying that I have an agenda to put down Somaliland. My friend, let me give you the news. I hate the Jeegaan and I want to dismantle it . I want to dismantle the entrenched system of the Jeegaan before they get more power and oppress all of us. Since you also claimed openly to install " Calan Isaaq" in Somaliland, I also intend to fight that tribal flag since I am not that tribe. Unlike those who you keep telling to stay away of Somaliland, I am stakeholder, and will not keep quiet while you and your proxies deny my family the basic needs like water. $152 million has been spent to provide water for Hargeisa, and after six years, nothing tangible are expected. Where did the money go. Distance from Hargeisa is not an issue. even 40 km of distance could be piped easily. The land is not complicated like rivers, marsh land or passing huge mountains. All they need is dig trenches, bury the water pipe and install pumping stations to reach the city. Everyone one who spoke against the theft was fired, and fools like you who is eating his cake who is probably buttred by the Jeegaan will not raise a peep. You know Oodweyne, If I were you, I would call your uncle Cawil who is well connected in Hargeisa, and apply a job from the jeegaan. Instead of insulting Reer Baydhabo and MMA, Galbeedi or Puntlanders and others, you could take a job as a useful idiot and start insulting your own community and chairman Cirro. You could do really well and get paid at the same. here you said , ", but he is an idiot who can't accept the fact that he was not "match-fit", or much of an opponent against Mr Biixi. In particularly in a "manly business" . You already fired the first shot on behalf of warlord Bixxi, and you could do more. Oodweyne said, "Instead of waiting his time in a "manly silence", licking his party's wounds in the privacy of his party's head-quarter". Now you want even the opposition leader to be quite. Isn't the job of the opposition to attack the government when they transgress. They just kidnapped a deputy mayor and a city councilman from Oodweyne, in the middle of the night . Did you said anything about the 3am kidnapping?, no. This man was honorable and acted as gentle because his community asked him to not aggravate the issue and leave alone the senile man who was sick. In 2014, Siilaanyo and his lieutenants came to Burco and had a big meeting with west Burco community. Siilaanyo said, " Waar ragyahow nin aad soo wada dagaal gasheen oo abaal idinku leh baan ahay, haddana oday 75 jir ah ayaan ahaye ma waydaan ii quudhayn in aan madaxweyne ahaado inta ii hadhay". Since the West Burco community is " Gob" and honourable, they decided not to publicly attack him or oppose him since he will be retiring soon. That was a mistake that community did. The issue is not about an old man or tribal issue, it was about government and president who should be accountable about the actions of his government. The jeegaan does not play by the honor rule and respect. Boqor Buur Madow, a warlord from East Burco, went to the media and said, " Todobadii sano ee aanu madaxda ahayn H/Y way naga baqaysay'. By the way, most of the east Burco elders are honourable and do not frequent the media. Who knows, they might copy others and start now. Now, this Oodweyne guys says we must be silent and allow the Jeegaan to keep transgressing. You look things in tribal lenses when you dealing everyone else, yet you give a pass to jeegaan. So, make up your mind. Either join the Jeegaan and defend them even when they steal, or join the opposition and try to replace the Jeegaan. If you are not ready neither of those , then stay away and watch the battle from a far. Do not worry about me. My agenda and intention is clear. I do not see a government or an institution, but a tribal project that want to rob all of us including other members of the Duriyada. in the 21st century, government means modern institution that must be managed by well versed technocrats who do not belong to certain tribe. If you go to the city and say I want an electrician from Gabiley, you might not find, yet if you keep insisting, then they will find you someone who is a cook to do the job of the electrician. In this province, the people who manage the healthcare of Alberta earn millions of dollars or four times the salary of the premier. Same thing goes when it comes to those who manage budgets, education and economy. THey are not politicians but highly respected civil servants .I am not here to debate with you. I just want you to make some money for your insults and join the Jeegaan, than
