It is going to be very interesting how this whole thing transpires over the next few months.

SOMALIA INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS’ JOINT STATEMENT FOLLOWING DHUSAMAREB FGS-FMS MEETING Mogadishu, 24 July 2020 – Somalia’s international partners* hope that the important meeting between Somalia’s Federal Government (FGS) and Federal Members States (FMS) leaders in Dhusamareb represents the long-awaited resumption of constructive collaboration between the FGS and the FMS leaders. The partners welcome the leaders’ decision to form a technical committee to work out election modalities for the 2020 national elections. As the committee’s work moves forward, broad-based agreement among Somali stakeholders will be necessary. The partners reiterate that the electoral process must move the country away from selection processes and toward direct elections, as codified in the Provisional Federal Constitution. International partners therefore urge all Somali stakeholders to pursue their efforts quickly to attain these objectives and keep the country on a stable political path, in the interests of the Somali people. In addition to the electoral model, international partners also urge Somali leaders to agree on a plan to implement other aspects of Somali democratic reform, including the Constitutional Review, the formation of a multiparty democracy and creation of a functional Judicial Services Commission, Human Rights Commission, and Constitutional Court. They also underscore the need to ensure that candidates, parties, women, youth, minority communities and the media across the country can express themselves freely, especially during the election period. *Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, European Union, France, Germany, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, and the United Nations https://unsom.unmissions.org/somalia-international-partners’-joint-statement-following-dhusamareb-fgs-fms-meeting

Oodweyne the problem with galbeedi is he tries to mix fiction with reality. Combined with what he thinks and wants to see in the horn of Africa. Your right on the money what he doesn't understand is Somaliland doesn't follow any nations orders when it comes to safe guarding its economic and political sovereignty interests. You have seen it with China and Taiwan issue. The Chinese offerd millions of dollars if Somaliland cut ties with taiwan. But Somaliland stood its ground.

I suspect this Mahdi guled will stay much longer than expected. I think he is the pm for the foreseeable future. Old man Xashi i expect will be sacrificed next. There are no rules. Waa turub sharci laan eh.

Long story short. A very active young man was recently murdered near Southern Sanaag. The youngman built water wells and other facilities for the nomads including those who later would kill him. The killers were caught in Taleex and later transferred to Garowe. They were given a 1 year jail term. The clan of the murdered man have been waiting for the killers to be handed over. We all know what could happen next if the killers are not handed over as is the customary law of the nomads there.

I have just watched the full version and I cannot see a proper vote at all. There fewer than may be at most 40 people having their hands up and the rest are all shouting... But then they announced 170 MPs voted? what? Meeshaa xoog ayaa lagu marsiistay.
