The chief of staff is Tigray and the chief of Intelligence is from Amhara region. Both were comrades against Mengistu. Gen. Adem was chief air force they moved him to intelligence to make room for Oromo chief airforce. The next day they also appointed deputy chief of intelligence an Oromo, so Gen. Adem is kind of sidelined. The chief of staff was one of the 5 commanders of TPLF against Derg and also commander of Central command many years. If Jigjiga is to go by most of the force was Oromia Liyu under federal name and uniform.

What makes you belive that? What are the things that have happened that has been against their intrest? I was also a bit cautios at the beginning but after reading a english script of Abey's speach in Minnepolis I am now convinced that what we are seeing is simply the effects of an orchestrated machievalli planned plan to prevent civil war. (Amhara-Amharisied Oromos Alliance VS Tplf. Abey Ahmed is simply what Galbeedi potrayed him to be. Oromo la amxaareeyay. As for Somalis, even if a change occured. The guard at the jail-cell might have been replaced but the reality is that it's still a prison. The appointment of a former ally to Cabdi Ileey prooves that the status que have not changed. They have simply found a better horse ride once the old one has become useless. Let's see if the internal dissent against Abey Ahmed amongst the Tigra'ans and the more extreme Oromo's grows into a fully fledgeed collapse of the state. Ninkaani meesha waa la keenay as a desperate last attempt by the ruling coalition to keep the oromo revolt under controll. Thats a fact we all could agree upon. What we differ is how big the tigrayan dissent towards him is. Demoting a few generals and making cosmetic changes does not really change the power dynamics by group that had the power by the barrel of the gun. ,

Khadaafi, He could have triggered the article 39 months ago or opened a debate inside the parliament which could have voted, but he was never been A Somali who had the interest of the Somali at heart. He was prison guard henchman who took pride in abusing his own people. The other issue is that Cabdi Illey is still the chairman of the party. That alone will handicap the new leader. They must elect a new party chairman.

He still doesnt see that once he transfers the the power, Abey will arrest him and make him an escape goat for the ills that the TPLF caused. It is not without a concidence that Cabdi Ileey was the only named senior Ethiopian official in semi-official US report that fully explained the gross human rights abuses commited by the TPLF regime. This report was released prior the events we saw in Jigjiga. They did not name a single tigrayan henchman but named and shamed Cabdi iley. Once the report was released gaalka madow , Caabey started to sing about the terror commited by the so called "former regime" he himself was part off as a murky intelligence officer. Tan, maanta iga qora: Ninkaani inta ey isticmaalen, ayna ku qasbeen in uu xukunka wareejiyo ayey berri maxkamad soo saarayaan. In a true stalinist fashion, Caabey will white wash his hands by taking Cabdi Ileey to the hang man. As a true treasonous weasel he chose to undo the little gain the Somalis had. He could have given political leverage to those that still want to free themselves from the yoke of foregin controll by igniting the voice of dissent and calling for the implementation of article 39 according to the Ethiopian constitution. Even though his calling for that would have not led to dramatic results it would have given a great morale and political boost to other seperatist groups in Ethiopa. The TPLF, the Afars and some elements within the Oromo muslims would have seen that call for peace and a peacefull seccsesion as some thing they could also threaten Abiey Ahmeds hidden agenda. But calool-wayne Cabdi Iley chose to leave by taking smiling photograph with a unknown hand-picked succsessor. Little does he remember that 6 months ago he was also taking smiling pictures of Caabey Axmed during his trip to Jigjiga thinking that just as he smiled and cried at Melez funeral he wold be safe. Little does he know that he will be taken to the gallows. Mark my words on this guys. Watch the video below: The report that in a shamefull way named Cabdi Ileey (only him) and not mentioning the senior officials within the EPRDF.

Considering what is happening in Soomaali Galbeed today, i thought the title was about Cabdi Ileey. Oh, maan, I was ready to sharpen my faas iyo tooreey to whoever wrote that if it was about Cabdi Ileey.

Is this for real? Are sane Soomaalis defending tuugii weynaa, the Tigrey stooge Cabdi Ileey? I cannot believe this. Nothing, no one will be worse than the stooge's leadership in Soomaali Galbeed. He and his loyal Liyuu militia dantooda ayee fiirsanayaan, for they know what they had done to Reer Soomaali Galbeed in the dozen years years they mercilessly ruled. Xasuuqii, kufsigii, jirdilkii iyo barakicintii. It is better to be under the occupation of cadowga you know than kan kula dhashay haddana kula dhaqmaayo si ka saxariir badan Xabashada. Cabdi Ileey dad badan ayuu gaalshire ku aruuriee in the 12 years maanta markiisa waayee madaxa hasoo qooysto. His Tigrey masters won't save him, for they are as powerless as he is now. We can also see how desperate they are using their biggest stooge and his ruthless arxandaran militia for the final stand in order to weaken the new prime minister. I hope Cabi Axmed gives them a thorough beating because for the future wannabe stooges in Soomaali Galbeed ha arkaan their sycophancy will never save regardless how completely they followed for years. They will be discarded just as a used diaper.
