1 pointIn the world of democratic politics, the opposition has to be loyal to the overall aspirations of the state and the rule of law. While opposing government policies and how they manage the state affaires, it is their primary duty to insist on the supremacy of the rule of law. In Venezuela, the opposition leader anointed himself president without winning or even running an election. He thought with the help Trump and others his illegal coup would be successful. Mr. Juan Guido not only failed to replace the legal president, but has damaged any peaceful transition in his country. In KIsmayo, Ahmed Madoobe, after eight years in power, had assembled his own hand picked members of regional assembly and crowned himself president. He refused to allow any opposition candidate to contest the election. That power grap was rejected by the federal government while the international community raised the alarm earlier. It was expected fpr Madoobe to hold on to power by any means necessary, but What wasn't expected was former leaders including two presidents to applaud this illegal takeover. As future contestants who are preparing their campaign to unseat FArmaajo, what would they do if Farmaajo hand picks the next parliament and crowns himself. Be careful for what you wish. This move by these leaders is a wake up call for most Somalis. The Somali opposition is probably bought by foreign governments including the UAE and Kenya. Everyone who is in the pockets of UAE has followed the same logic of supporting the illegal takeover of Madoobe. Despite its weaknesses, so far the Somali government had taken the high road . While it was easy to make some money and join the evil alliance of the gulf, the Somali government had chosen to be neutral. According to a Turkish publication, The Daily Sabah, the Saudis had approached the Somali government one more time this summer. Since the UAE is withdrawing from Yemen and the coalition is in tatters, the Saudis had offered the Somali government to join the coalition against Yemen and Qatar with $80 million dollar offer. These are the same group throwing billions of dollars to prop up the foreign exchange accounts of Ethiopia, Sudan and Pakistan. They assume that since Somalis are cheap and poor , few millions might buy them in exchange for our youth to be cannor fodor's of the gulf. Thanks to the current government, Somalia rejected that offer. The Qataris who are victims of the Saudi/UAE blockade were impressed by the principle stand of the Somali state and had decided to double their effort to help Somalia economically and militarily. The Saudis didn't stop there but sent an invitation to Muuse Biixi to intimidate Somalia by recognizing the Somaliland passport as an official document that allows Somaliland leaders to travel to the Hajj. On the other hand, Mr. Deni and Puntland had seen first hand how UAE looted and schemed Somaliland by offering just five million dollars a year to manage the Berbera without adding any meaningful value. Rather than scrap the old deal and sign a new one either with Qatar , China or someone else, he just followed the plot of Xaaf, Hassan Sheikh, Biixi ,UAE and lost the geopolitical economy to Hobyo. Soon the NGO money will dry and no one will be able to pay the do nothing 40 ministers of Puntland. This gulf Arabs are so stupid anyone with right mind can create an elaborate scheme to take away their cash . Maybe we should promise them 25,000 Somali youth , cash in few billions, and tell them to get lost. The Trump family had made millions including Jared Kushner who borrowed or schemed $600 millions from the gulf stoges to finance his tower in Manhattan. The Farmaajo/Khayre duo are winning against the gulf and their mercenaries back home. Both the opposition, led by Hassan Sheikh and Shariif Ahmed, including C/raxman Cabdishakur, and regional governments led by C/laahi Deni of Puntland, Ahmed Madoobe and Muuse Biixi have one common benefactor and boss--THe UAE and Kenya to some extent. As we speak , they are all speaking in one voice against Somalia in favour of either Kenya or UAE. A friend of mine from Burco, whom I didn't hear for a while lately, called me last weekend and asked to meet up. He told me that he had some interesting news from Mogadishu and Hargeisa. Since I am a political junkie who likes these issues, I run quickly to the nearest coffee shop and sat down for a chat. He said he had a good news and a bad news. I said tell me the bad news first. He said the bad news is "Farmaajo and company will be leaving and will be replaced by Hassan Sheikh in just little over a year and half. We will be supporting him and also supplement him with one of those Puntlanders from the east ( Mid Reer Bari ah oo aan Somaliland dhib ku hayn ayaanu ku daraynaa), probably Deni or another well connected Reer Bari. We have spent tons of money on HAG politicians and others in Mogadishu and the result will show up soon". He continued, " Anyone who is against Somaliland in the past or present will be disqualified by Hassan Sheikh to hold any high office". He added, " We told Shariif Ahmed and Hassan to find common front and let one of them be the candidate, but it was impossible to bridge the gap" How about the good news? I said. He said, " the northern politicians who are working with Farmaajo today, especially vice premier Khadar, Maareeye and C/raxman Bayle will be destroyed politically , although Bayle isn't a load mouth as those two, the southern politicians are mad with those guys and will be thrown out of the parliament" " " Since you were always interested in Mogadishu politics , and Hassan Shekh needs a new group of norther guys to fill government jobs and the parliament , you will be among those people, provided you play the game nicely and forget these anti Somaliland rhetoric". Furthermore, "if they offer you a job, do not take those dangerous places were you have to aggravate other tribes." He advised me to take care of myself and get with the program. I protested and told him that I " wasn't interested about making money if the country doesn't improve or if I can not contribute something valuable to the equation. The moral of the story is that the Somali Alphabets movements who destroyed our country are teaming up once again to keep the status quo and prevent any meaningful change. THey are teaming up from Kismaayo to Mogadishu, Garoowe and Hargeisa. These are the same groups who have destroyed our country. It means that the current government is an outsider , an agent of change that represent, We The People. It means the current government is doing something right which unites both the separatist and the Kenyan faction. How can we trust those who destroyed the nation to lead it again. When the nation goes down, the elite and the instigators will disappear to foreign capitals, but the larger Somali public who were poor but managed to survive under their flag and nation had suffered the most. Today, it is those poor Somalis who are joining the army and dying for others to live in peace. We , the silent majority , reject the policies of the opposition and their oligarchs who are serving the interest of foreign powers like UAE , Kenya and others. Once again regional governments have been exposed as fraud, as nothing but a checkpoint to fill the pockets of the few oligarchs. People are discarding the false loyalty of the larger clan connection to their local community and those they share neighborly, brotherhood and destiny. People were no longer willing to sacrifice their life and future to the false pride of the tribe that doesn't help them in their times of need. People in Boosaaso want their local sons to police their neighborhood than someone from Garoowe or Qardho. The same way the people of Zaylac want their sons to work at the custom office, police station and local ministries instead of people from Burco and Berbera. People want their local taxes to improve their lives than being pocketed openly by the mayor. We have been mesmerized about the centralized government of yesterday, yet, today, no one is more centralized than the regional governments. The Tigray army sales to the regional governments, and the NGO unlimited cash from Nairobi had created false impressions of governments that could not even pay the salaries of the local police. Somalis had sacrificed their national government for a false flag that doesn't answer for the needs of their people. Sheikh Aadan Seero, the Sheikhul Beled of Hargeisa, was speaking out about the looting of public purse and land by the ruling class. He narrated how Ismaaciil Cali Abokor, one of the most powerful member of the SRC of Somali, how his family were broke immediately after he was arrested .If you compare the open looting of today to 1985, you will be shocked. Libraries, government houses and public offices were sold. The governor of Awdal doesn't even has an office to operate after they sold the government house built by the British. Waar Ummaddii Soomaaliyeed Budhcad baa heshay. Now who do you want to lead the next government?. Outsiders like us would have been a perfect fit for the nation because we would not be intimidated by the greedy rebels who destroyed our country and would have crashed everyone regardless of their clan or geography. But, if we the good people, can not make it , then our choice between Hassan Sheikh and Farmaajo is simple. WE will choose Farmaajo any day against Hassan Sheikh , the oligarchs and their benefactors. Folks, the lines had been drawn . You are either with us, we the people, or with the oligarchs.

1 pointSo, both men accused each of muder, inciting clan violence/conflict, clanism, and corruption. Simply wow! I would ask Suldaanka to comment on this but I am afraid he might blame Farmaajo. So, Tallaabo, what gives sxb. Has the house gone mad or is Muse just a bad leader?

1 pointHe has been on the job for over 20 years. The HY elders who are government allies including Suldaan Mohamed Xirsi Qani were in SAnaag for talks with Caare. Now they decided to abandon their efforts after Tani attacked them.

1 pointSomaliland waxay heshay koox kale oo waan go'aynaa leh. Hore ayaan u sheegay qaarna ma joogaan kuwa joogaanaa way maqan yihiin. WE have to call Mr. Gaandhi to clarify few things. Why would he wanted to name Jubbaland Azania? It was just a random name or there were some sinister idea to create his own country.
