Fact:
Roobow was Shabab as long as Shabab was "nationalist" against serving foreign interests. He was neither Ethiopia or Eritrea ally anytime. Eritrea has some debt to score with Roobow for him leaving Shebab which if Roobow had become active could have denied Shabab the South West.
If he becomes president/governor of SW then SW may become strongest Region.
Fiction and lies:
America wants him therefore cannot be governor, will damage our friendship with USA
Ethiopians want him there fore will be obstacle to our good relationship
He has blood in his hands (unless the blood he spilled is special blood, people who burned farms and food storage to starve and make people surrender are in politics and have been ministers....)
All SOLers seem to agree, of course, one fact that Roobow belongs to "wrong tribe".
If the current speaker cannot fill two shoes, that is Jawari and Sherifka then Sherifka needs to come back and be the peace maker.
