The issue is not about the speech , it is about how the president is out of touch with reality. He is addressing these fake generals like children. these issues should be addressed in closed door meeting.He is probably talking to the wrong generals. Those who promised him of victory two years ago had been already relieved of duty by himself. It is the same game. I saw a clip of Khayre addressing his own office employees and aides about the merits and importance of their jobs and broadcasting it to the world. You can't give someone an assignment as big as defeating Al-shaabaab and go to your business and then come back after two years and ask them if they done their job. The war effort isn't a project that must be checked every two years. It is daily , weekly and monthly report . It is the most important task of his government. His whole government should focused of on security. The health ministry must recruit nurses and wards for the soldiers. The public works ministry must build housing and bracks for the army; the transport industry and energy must work delivering fuel and food to the soldiers. The whole government must mobilize to help the army succeed. That is how a nation at the war acts and behaves. Just look at the big couches and sofas these fake generals are sitting. Every week there is " Xaflad" and party in Mogadishu. Folks, this in not a nation at war. just like most narco states where luxury living, bombs and parties live side by side. As usual they blame everything to the last president whose soldiers he deployed to Baraawe four years ago are still there. Just like those before him, he was busy with other things like flying around. Does anyone knows who is the defense minister of Somalia, the most important job of all?, no one knows him. He was just one of those picked from the crowd to fill the 4.5 slot of his clan. If the minister can't handle his duty then fire him.You have a national security minister who explains the Mogadishu check points, and not the national security of the country. They have the most incompetent people leading the most important jobs. THey are acting like a government that hundreds of thousands of soldiers scattred from Kismaayo to Djibouti border. Most of these soldiers are based just less than hundred kilometer from the capital. anyone serious would know what is going on unless they are out of touch or secluded in Mogadishu. Farmaajo just gave these guys another two years, by the time he comes back, it will be too late.

Xataa qaali ku sheega wuu marqaamaa miyaa? Maskiinta Rabi ha u sahlo, jaahil iyo badow haddee qaali kuu noqdaan waxaan camal ka filo.

tas baan la yaabay. Meelaha the judge wu mirqansana marku waxan so saray.

The stoning of people is the tradition of polytheists and has nothing to do with Islam. If the accused is killed for this crime, then those who sentenced him to death will have blood on their hands.

@MMA I remember the international partners welcoming such "reforms" and "progress" five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen years ago, and so on. I guess the more things change in Koonfuria, the more they remain the same.

Xaajiyoow those being educated are not the brainwashed Puntlanders but educated, open-minded, eager-to-learn, not-easily-duped Hargeisa millennials. Prof. Galaydh is indeed a wise great public speaker but the only sin he committed in that conference hall was to make a mockery of the recently concluded D!r wayn gathering in Addis Ababa. I guess the good professor forgot his attendance of Boqor Burhaan's caleemosaar

Mudane Oodweyne, I was absent from SOL but just got distracted some tasks of daily life. Anyways, I see that our blessed Bureeqa is leaping from horizon to horizon

Let's not politicize this. Sexual violence against Somali women and girls is pervasive and needs to be addressed across all regions.

Cheeseman spends 7 minutes trying to drive a small menial point "cuntadii iyo mushaharkii waa idin siiyay sow maha..." Like seriously 7 minutes for one small childish point. And then comes the unexpected chest of all that effort, the question: "Alshabab dalkii ma ka xorayseen? " Any other leader worth his salt would have past this same point as a quip (kaftan) and not his main speech.

Aqoonsiga iyo buunka qiyaamuhu isku mar buu dhacayaa sida muuqata, saaxiib aad baana uga xumahay inaan idin niyad jabiyo balse waa sida uu muuqata. Koonfurta oo dhib ka jiro iyo ayadoo hagaagta kee aqoonsiga u roon? Berigii ay snm siyaad barre la dagaalamayeen, maxay u qarsadeen inay doonayaan gooni isu taag? Soo macno fiican maanta ma samayseen dhanka aqoonsiga ama looma arkeen dad xoriyad usoo dagaalamay, haday horay u sheegi lahaayeen ajandaha dagaalkooda? Macquul ma noqon kartaa in dagaalkii lagu diidanaa siyaad barre loo badelo xoriyad gooni isu taag 90kii ka dib? MP hadlaya waa nin wayn wuxuu ogyahay xaqiiqda jirta, nin wayn wadkiisa waa yaqaan. Waligiin inta shir qabsateen culumada beesha siyaasiyiinta, qurba joogta haweenka iyo dhalaanka ma ducaysateen? Talo iga gaarsii dadka wax garadkaa iyo ciddaan waxba garan labadaba. Ducadu waa muhiim waxaad ku ducaystaan inta beesha laysugu yeero, ilaahow haddii khayr noogu jiro koonfurta naga furfur, haddii uusan khayr noogu jirina nala midee. Xaqiiqdii ducadaas way ka fiicantahay inaad yuhuud iyo nasaaro hoos galgalataan sodon sano iyo dheeraad. Dr.biixi wuxuu ku qudbeeyay dawladaha aan saaxiibka nahay yaa kuwa tunka wayn nagala hadli doona si naloo aqoonsado. Sheekadaas intee habeen baa la qayili karaa aragtidaada? Halkaas soo quus kaagana muuqato? War ninyahow ma doonayo inaan ku daaliyo iyo inaad ii jawaabto midna waxaan doonayaa oo kaliya inaad shaydaanka iska naarto caadina iska dhigto riyadaan sicir barar baa laga qaadayaa Jid ama waddo markaad qaado oo aad ku daasho, geesaha la fiiryaa waxaa laga yaabaa inaad aragto geed hoos macaan oo aad ku nasato iyo dad fiican oo ka ag dhaw, kuuna sheega wado ka dhaw midaad kusoo daashay, lamasii maqiiqnaado.
