Too early to make a total scoring yet, but I see improvements in some areas and deterioration in other areas. One area that really raises concerns is corruption and transparency, where Somalia seems to have glided further downhill.

Todd Schoenberg Lawyer & Law Firm Boston btselem.org @ToddSchoenberg The International Criminal Court in the Netherlands has accepted a case file from Khatumo authorities, who have turned over war criminals. The Leader, Abdulkadir Ahmed Awcali, has indicated that the names of the criminals will be publicized. This move reflects the Khatumo authorities' dedication to pursuing justice for the horrors done in their region. The community will eagerly watch the proceedings at the criminal court to ensure justice is delivered. While many local citizens applauded this news, the majority wanted justice to be administered in Lasanod, where the criminals committed their crimes. If the ICJ finds them guilty in Europe, they ICJ don't endorse the death penalty. For these top-ranking militiamen, living in Europe's jail is more luxurious than the harsh conditions in Somalia. Facing justice in an international court sends a clear message that no one is above the law, no matter where they hide. It is a beacon of hope for the victims and their families, who have long desired justice and accountability for the horrible crimes done against the resident of Las Anod. https://twitter.com/ToddSchoenberg/status/1763231024849276958?s=20

So the ‘Calan cas’ colonels did directly start the inter-clan war in the 90’s, somehow I thought it was just hear say. If you look at the involvement of these Soviet trained colonels, their fingerprints are all over the major conflicts in Somaliland. From the escalation of the conflict in the North during the 80’s, the inter-clan Habar-Habar war during the 90’s, the Las Anod war (2022-2023) and even now they are busy to stirr and incite another regional conflict, in order to deflect attention and stay in power. No wonder that they always seek to deflect attention from their own role and need an ‘external’ enemy. But this time it won’t work, no matter how loud they scream, repeat their inciting rhetoric, nobody will belief nor follow their politics, for they are just another loud social media pundits not worth for young people to sacrifice their lives for.

When we used to debate secessionist back then, they used to say, 50K were killed, you can even see videos from early 2000s The actual report from Rukiya Omaar ,Raage's older sister, who was working for agency late 1980s to early 1990s, , was about 5K, Now , 50K is not big enough, and they say it was 500K It is changing everyday Many innocent died in last 30 years of Somali civil war, but to program the youth, with very inaccurate info, has hidden agenda, it is possible now, those propagating , hatred, cuqdad, are not actual Somalis, but Ethiopians, it suits them Somalis must have a real reconciliations conference, no under estimate or over estimate, no lies, just truths, what actually happened? it is hard to get REAL truth with so much misinformation, over the years, that if you keep telling lies lies , it forms its own life, and imagination, and is part of not healing, trauma, some real and false trauma
