    In another news, Omar Geelle had called Dahabshiil and the west Hargeisa Oligarchs who are based in Djibouti and told them to either put Ina Biixi to exile very quickly or else, and the parliament is preparing for impeachment in Hargeisa. I want Biixi to stay in order to take Awdal by force. The worst thing for us would be for the low energy guy Zaylici to take the helms and divide our ranks while prolonging the agony of the project that must die. No one can revive a dead horse. Habeen wanaagsan.

    He is a gangster who is well known to lie. Also there are half truths in his interview. When it comes to the project, he will do whatever it takes to salvage. Maakiri1, Awdal hasn't cooked anything. We were interested in ports, but the first priority was to capture Awdal first. For us the port thing was a late comer , the first agenda was get arms and liberate Awdal. Let me address the first point about the Ugaas and Awdal State Movement. When we met Garaad Jamac Garaad Cali, it was all about helping us get arms from Khaatumo and find ways to bring Awdal mountains. He suggested that if you could get anything from Ethiopia use it until you achieve your goals. When Abiy said he was interested to lease a port, we welcomed, but if you read our press release, we added that only the federal government and Awdal people will decide the future project. We never ever mentioned base or land , never. In terms of Awdal members of parliament coming to Addis, I myself talked to the media about their presence and what was discussed and agreed upon. They had even met President HSM the night before they flew to Addis. When they told the president about their trip, he said, " as long as you are for Somali unity I support you". Most of them were allies of HSM except one. They emphasized that any agreement should be shared with Awdal elders, intellectuals, elected members and the diaspora. We knew in Badda, Hawada iyo Dhulka Soomaalidu nala leedahay. You couldn't find one single document that talks even ownership of the port let alone sell. Another lie or half truth this so called fake king talks about is about the 4 ports Farmaajo talked to Abiy. In 2019, a Nairobi based businessman who was among bankrolled Farmaajo and an Awdalite who works the African development Bank approached Ethiopia about the Zaylac port. They wanted to use private money, involve Qatar and Turkey. The Turks would build, the Qataris who were under blockade at the time needed foreign farms from Ethiopia and the port supposed to be managed by Singaporean company. The project went ahead and reached some of the top leaders of the Abiy government including Ridwaan Huseen, the current security adviser who has some Somali ancestry blood. before things concluded the Tigray war broke. Also the African Development Bank was financing a regional integration road that connects Zaylac--Borama--Jigjiga which could create economic opportunity Awdal and the Somali region. Our initial issue and meetings were to get permission to use the towns and villages inhabited by our community in DDS. We never reached any agreement about a port or a road. It was all about getting diplomatic cover and avoid being labeled as Al-Shbaab since we were interested in fighting in Lowyacado which is close to Djibouti border where foreign armies are based. We never ever said about helping us with their army. We told them that we were capable of getting men i both sides of the border. In fact some have suggested to look the other way and told us to do what we needed to do. At the end, since there were almost no strong forces to defend against us, we decided to enter almost many entering points from west of Borama to Zaylac which is long stretch and then move to the entrior mountains. Early January to the middle of the month was the plan. THen suddenly in the new year the MOU happened and the border was sealed and the friendly town mayors and village bosses shut down everything. THe Ugaas never signed or even went to meet officials. He was supposed to give us credibility and status among our community, besides he is based in Jigjiga. I never liked Amhara all in my life. I had a soft spot for the Oromo because I wanted them to defeat the evil highlanders who colonized Ethiopia including Somalis. Having traveled to Addis, Diredawa, Harar, Jigjiga and other places for two months, I see the Oromo now as a threat to the Somali nation. They are breeding in the streets with no regard to culture, dignity or norms.They are flooding wherever Somalis have created life, whether it is Bole Mickeal in Addis, Diredawa, Jigjiga or other cities in Somali republic. They are like a flood that will wipe out Somali nation within a few decades. We are not cosying up to anyone, we were trying to get some arms and a place to organize. We don't have the open plains of Nugaal, Taleex or Hawd. We are squeezed from all sides. Illyria, as some one who rode the Ethiopia tail twice, you shouldn't be accusing us to cosying up Ethiopia. Furthermore, Ethiopia knows who to trust in order to get what they want and we came empty handed.

    Very much so. They have ethnically cleansed or continue Oromia of Amhara and other ethnic groups. They have displaced many in Addis Ababa. They're in constant fight with all neighbors. And they are displaying Somalis from Sitti with the help of Afars and slowly but steadily expanding into Fafan Zone. Fafan is critical to capturing Awdal. Everything that are doing seems to be in the furtherance of Oromo state.

    Even some calling for Eritrea-Amhara-Tigray Christian alliance against the Oromo, not sure how feasible that is on the short run but definitely on the long run Oromo expansionist politics might lead to a dangerous reshaping of regional dynamics.

    Abiy, the wanna bee emperor is definitely stoking a conflict with Somalia to ease the local pressure and unite local tribes, but it will most likely explode in his face with yet another front in the Somali region and farther afield.

    Emotionally filled sentiments overriding any form of rational thought. We really have to protect elders from themselves and put a maximum age in place for them to be active in politics or any public position. 70 years should be a reasonable age and most mental decay sets in.

    I saw this coming a long time ago. I knew its only a matter of time before Jigjiga also goes the way of Diridhaba and other lost Somali cities. Believe me, this scenario will again replicate in Goday, Dhagaxbuur, wardheer, Gaashaamo, and every other town and village in the state. Somalis made the biggest mistake when they moved their capital from Diridhaba to Jigjiga. This is not a sovereign state where the capital needs protection from external forces. On the contrary, keeping the capital of the Somali state in Ethiopia on the periphery would have protected the interior.

    Don't quote qashinkaan, Maakhiri. Waa qof aad Soomaalida u neceb, used to be a member on here, too, until he was banned years ago. Plus C/ritaax Siisi was talking about the possibilities Soomaaliya's bright future had there not been decades of severe dagaalo sokeeye. Waana runtiisa.

    It was the likes of the late Omar arte qaalib may allah rest his soul the Foreign Minsiter and an excellent diplomat of his time. Not only did he spoke arabic fluent he was also a poet in Arabic. The Arabs were only exposed to the Somalilanders back in the 1940s up untill the 1980s. When in the 1990s Walanweyn hordes arrived in the middle east, the Arabs were shocked , with the scamming dealing doing all sort of petty crime , the arabs are shocked. And they said are they real Somalis. The Somalis we knew were very Cultureled and didnt ask any one for help. in Saudi there was once Somali a nomad from Hargeisa who went to saudi arabia one day he was called abeed which means slave. He killed 7 people in Mecca. There was a street named after him shaaric sabca . And the king ordered no Somali can ever be called an abeed. The lander upheld the Somali name in the middle east. they are also the majority of Somalis that obtained citizenship i have cousins from there that 3rd generation saudis and carry an saudi Passport. There was another incident the Sheikh of abudhabi used to give iftar gifsts to the expats to the people there every year during the ramadan. No Somali would ever go there to collect some hand outs from the sheikh only buluuj hindi and pakistanis and other bengalis and other bantus . No Somali ever well back in the 1990s the Koonfurians oo yeah they came to collect the Sheikh of Abudhabi was shocked. He then asked dadkani manay ahayn nimanki anu naqanay. Markaasalugu yidhi yaa sheikh iinahum janubiyuwn wa kuwi koonfurta . Markasu Yidhi war miyaanan iska garan.
