Asc, I really don't see the point in engaging discussion of any with Oodweyne persona here. How can anyone debate an individual that calls people 'ina Gumeed', and why the f@@k does this site accept the continued membership of this person? It's baffling, really. I don't know, and in really holding back, cuz I don't want to stoop as low as he/she does, but it's beyond acceptable.

Farmaajo simply chickened out. Too scared. I don't blame him. Being in Mugadishu guarded by Uganda and helpless even against simple warlord can do that to you. Especially when the warlords go for weekends to Dubai and he has to go to Qatar. If he had a little spine, he would have been going every week to Ankara instead of Asmara. Qatar and Turkish know this already. Ask yourself a simple question. Ethiopia is now even at this shakey times a multiple more powerful than Somalia and a multiple more influential. Yet Ethiopia could not handle and could not manage to continue realtions with its second investor after China, that is Turkey. How could Farmaajo "play" Turkey/Qatar vs. UAE/Saudi/Egypt Even Sudan could not manage being very close to Turkey and dependent on Saudis. Even sending soldiers to Yemen did not save Bashir. His visit to Damascus was the last straw. The new ruler now already met Netanyahu and Sudan might establish relations with Israel to achieve what Arabs could not. Get off list of terror sponsoring countries. I was amused when most Somali expected Farmaajo to start war against UAE during the signing of the Berbera deal. Some SOLers were emotional wreck over it. Farmaajo just got rid of it very quickly. The security council at UN or IGAD, or AU or Arab League have all been forgotten now. We Horn people are that simpltons no red line no principle just raw emotions. The most disappointing part is when we have lessons for free from other Somalis. How do Djibouti, Somaliland, Puntland and Kililka survived without going to war for almost a generation? How come ONLF now made peace and friendship with Djibouti, Somaliland and Puntland after all the recriminations of the 2000s? These should have been free education. How could Somaliland maintained for 20 years simply business relations with both Meles and Ghelleh even thought Somaliland knew from the get go that these two men would be the last 2 leaders on earth that will give formal recognition to Somaliland?
