    Well I have never liked the idea of giving territory to Ethiopians they have a track record of claiming things that aren’t theirs . The other issue I have with the deal is with the galla becoming more fierce and more belligerents even their beggars in hargeisa are talking with so much kibir I never really endorsed the idea just entertained the benefit of the doubt since I trust bixii to the nation right but I don’t trust abiye and the gallas one bit the fact and the disrespect is that they even go to Ankara and talk about it with Somalia is a disrespectful to Somaliland . All in all somaliland should just help Somalia with this issue and stop the whole thing . And negotiations with Somalia and somaliland should begin imediatly I think we have shown good will with this but they should then stop stalling and. Agree with a 5 year plan to come with a solution for our conflict . Now they don’t have to sell any more of their resources with military treaties with foreign countries it’s a win win

    Hawd is usually included in the Waqooyi political sphere even though it is geographically situated in the West, but then again, you would have known that had you been a bona fide native. By the way, it is "Waqooyi => origin 'Waaq hooy [Waaq's lair], pre-Islam idol' ", and not "Woqooyi". It follows the same naming convention as the days of the week, and months of the Gregorian calendar. Again, aan kuu ducaynee maandhow, afka & dhulka noo daa!

    A number of factors to consider: - Xasan is not serious about fighting al shabab, for his core support base is al shabab-related greatly benefiting from its presence, - Al shabab is well assimilated in and deeply embedded in Banadir (Xamar, Sh Dhexe, and Sh Hose), - There are no Sr army Commanders in charge of the fight, Xasan wants to manage it from the back of a notebook, drafted by his kids, and has no military training nor experience, - Maturity of State institutions and agencies plays a major role in that in PL institutions and agencies are operating independent of the Office of the President whilst coordination flows. Good examples are: a) Ministries of Health, where Qoorsheel is in charge of logistics and supplies incl. medical care, attendance to troops needs on the ground, and looking after the wounded even those cared for abroad. b) Juxa at the Interior is in charge of mobilising the public, coordinating contributions to the Central Command. c) Defence under a team of former Sr Generals led by Gen. Indhayare are in charge of war strategy, troops rotation, which I hear is on a rota with no unit at the front more than a few days. Without divulging much, communication between Deni and army Commanders flows symmetrically at the strategic level, where Commanders and Jr Officers leading at the front are in sync at the technical level. This is not the case under Xasan's army. Have you ever heard of the relevant institutions or agencies engaged in the al shabab war? Have you ever witnessed public awareness or support being raised even in Xamar, let alone the rest of the country? - As people, reer PL are more organised, better structured, and culturally more cohesive, the opposite is true in the South, - The opposition filed behind Deni & army Commanders, did not question or second-guess their intent or Command, so is not true in the South, where many are closely collaborating with al shabab, - General public support in PL is much different from the South, the entire State moved at once in one direction during the campaign, so did the Diaspora. A few factors to consider as to the why.

    Xasan Socdaal offered Orangecon Balidoogle, Boosaaso iyo Berbera. He thinks Orangecon likes B-starting towns. Beledweyne, Baraawe iyo Boorame ha ugu daro.

    Aan ooyee irida ii xira waaye sheekada. Wax kale aan sheegno ma leh. It seems since Abiy Axmed landed Xamar, Lafta seems to be emboldened - in the last three days: On Sunday, he met the Xabashi embassy caretaker in Baydhabo; yesterday it was this dabaaldega that is insult to all of us and today he met ciidamada Xabashada tababaraaye ciidamo KG. Last week baarlamaanka KG suddenly selected xildhibaan Fiqi as a speaker, while not resigning his dowladda dhexe xildhibaan seat. Fiqi was and is very close to Lafta. Lafta is planning to hold a selection sometime between after Ciidda and before Kowda Luulyo.

    Which clans are in conflict? The Somali clans have no issues between them. It is the career politicians who are determined to make a living out of the people's misery. Let alone follow the rules, they break every agreement and corrupt every system put in place. The masses are equally guilty for supporting such low quality men.

    Observations: a) The original plan was to weaken Dacish's man power in 6 months, and possibly eliminate their presence in the region for a year at a minimum. Phases I & II had been concluded in 8 weeks despite regional powers warning PL of being unable to defeat Dacish in the mountains, b) Size of Bari region is mind-blowing; to get a sense of its size, troops traversed a land mass equivalent to Beledweyn to Xamar ( that was not even 1/3rd of the region), c) Evident in the organisation & coordination of the campaign has shown Deni's leadership capacity, which his nemesis could not have imagined, and are still yapping about it, check Cawad & ina Sharma'arke, even after his successful execution of a) elimination of al Shabab in Mudug, and b) defanging of the secessionist project in Sool, and c) dismantling Dacish's grand plan of establishing Islamic State in PL, and by extension Somalia, d) The power of rallying people, both Diaspora and locals, behind the project was overwhelming, the first of its kind I have seen in Somali territories in recent years. I do not think it is unique to PL (we have seen it before in SSCKH), where people have shown remarkable generosity, care, and power under the right leadership, e) Dacish, and by extension al Shabab could be defeated, i) Other FMSs could replicate this pattern birthed, tested, and proven in PL (ku dayo PL), - No more Macawisley, but FMSs professional armies eventually representing a National Army, if ever the nation decides, and agrees to its formation, f) The irrelevance of the now defunct Fed. gov't, of which role has technically been reduced to that of spectatorship from the stands, a mere FMS in Xamar (a roughly 20 mile radius between Afgoye - Balcad), g) With institutions, there is no need for personalities, and as with this conflict, we have witnessed a semblance of institutional discharge of services from varying branches of the army / police to civil society to elected district Councillors all of whom delivered as much, if not more than the three branches of State gov't, h) The Puntland First project is a reality with sizeable followship, and I would be surprised if a political party has not been formed in the coming days, i) If never been clear to the talking heads, there is a distinct contrast between frothing in between ranting stints by legless civilians ( and costume-adorning dunderheads stampeding in between fleeing trips abroad) versus real boots on the ground led by army Commanders. j) Masterless. roaming pseudo intellectuals had been resigned to bordellos, spas, and shisha parlours. k) And finally, the loony crowd, who almost always camouflage their true colours under the Somaliweyn banner had been exposed as closeted pro al Shabab dunderheads in disguise.

    Ilhan Omar and OAC are the leading opposition. Elom Musk is loosing support among many Americans. This coaltion of MAGA and feudal Tech guys will explode sooner than we think. Unless Trump runs in 2028, time will run out while he is tweeting about Canada or Greenland. He might not even get time to confront the big kid in the block, the China man. Netanyahu will keep him busy as usual while chasing ghosts in the middle east. THese Chinese are so patient four or five years mean nothing. Their next goal is 2049 the centenary of the communist take over of 1949.With USAID agency gone, the Chinese will ste in and fill the gap. in 2030, America could be a regional power of the weatern hemisphere bulling Canada and Mexico.

    No wonder Siyaad Barre's second villa after Filla Soomaaliya was located on this circled spot, facing Gerbooda waterfalls. Very greenery. Markee Xamar kululaato ayuu inta imaan jiray la yiri since Baydhabo is relatively cooler than Muqdisho. Geedo aad u dhaadheer - sida baxarasaafka iyo qumbaha - waa weyn ku yaalo. I wish I took photos instead of videos; these images are the screenshots of a video.

    Hong Kong was a nation state with complete laws before China acquired it and promising it will respect its local laws, including currency. Just tell us what country's region prints its own local currency? Name a single country.
  25. 1 point
    Your logic is flawed. You argue no nation uses two currencies ONLY to offer examples where more than one currency is used. if two currencies are being used, and can be used, why not three or five? Damiinimadu waa ibtilo rabbaani ah! Did you know there are nations where up to 4 currencies, or even more, are being used? Let me catch you up, as you seem a bit behind the curve: PL is going one step farther to Confederacy to rein in the tawdry Centrists (Kacaanists), which is the only way to tutor the dimwits. Did you know PL already has its own SOS only used in PL? Did you know SOS used in Xamar is not accepted, nor works in PL? It is where the old Arab Bard opined: إِن كانَ سَرَّكُمُ ما قالَ حاسِدُنا فَما لِجُرحٍ إِذا أَرضاكُمُ أَلَمُ Scotland & Ireland have their own currencies, minted by Banks of Scotland & Ireland, distinct from England & Wales. Both are accepted elsewhere in mainland Britain as codified in the Acts of Union. Noteworthy, in Scotland & Ireland, one would find one pound note, yet so is not true in England & Wales. Nations where more than one currency is used: Serbia-Montenegro (Yugoslav dinar & € ), El Salvador (peso, bitcoin, $), Panama (balboa & $), Cambodia (riel & $) Amongst others, East timor, Ecaduaro use US $, Pacific islands use NZ $. There are nations where currencies of other nations are accepted, say Brunei & Singapore, S Africa rand accepted in Namibia & Lesotho etc. ------------------------------- List of countries where US $ is used: United States (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, United States Virgin Islands), Bonaire, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cambodia, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Turks and Caicos Islands, Venezuela, Zimbabwe

    Clan federalism was always going to an unworkable arrangement for a Somali state. If the state is to survive, there needs to be a new constitution and new federal states which crisscross and divide clan territories, where everyone regardless of clan affliarion has the right to vote or run for political office.

    I don't expect anything good from Cirro. The guy has been leader of the parliament for 20 years and he has done nothing significant other than punch Baashe Farah the deputy chair. He is surrounded by all the thieves and corrupt wanna be politicians created by the project since 2000. Forget about auditing anything, he is hungry and is surrounded by hungry group. He might negotiate with HSM to gain some financial aid by pretending to be for unity. We all know Biixi was his own man. For bad or worse he made the decisions by himself. You might not believe it, but Biixi stopped the cash bribes to the elders and other hangers on. Somaliland was looted during the 7 years of the Siilaany ALah Ha u Naxariiste. Both Xirsi and Mohamuud Hashi got rich during these years.Now one financed Cirro and the other bought his own party. This going to be the most corrupt we even seen second only to Siilaanyo era. In these parts of the world the later is always worse than the former.

    Another chaotic four years. Dems were disrespectful and dismissive of key demographics in swing states. They honestly thought the Arabs in the Dearborn and Greater Detroit area would reward them for the genocide in Gaza. At least with Trump, you know what to expect. He will be vengeful and with no guard rails.

He hails from Hiiraan and supports so-called Hiiraan State.) 2 - Sool iyo Sanaag 'disputed' gobolloka dhaxeeyo Waqooyi Bari iyo Waqooyi Galbeed ku qoran. 3 - Mudug deegaano ka mid ah in muran heysasho ah ka jiro ku qoran 4 - Waqooyi Galbeed ka dhigay deegaan ka madaxbanaan Soomaaliya.

    Axmed Madoobe ilma adeerkiisa ku bahdil isleeyahay Xasan Socdaal. I never give any benefit of doubt to Xasan when many were lenient when he was (s)elected again. He is even worse than my worst version of him I was expecting. He utterly failed, what a glorious missed fursad he wasted from mid 2022, when many were praising him dagaalada loogu adkaaday kuwa afka duuban, though it wasn't his initiative nor his commanding. The generals (Odawaa and Biixi) leading these victorious were from previous administration. After he removed them for no reason other than being from serving previous administration, the failure started immediately.

    The people of Somaliland in Sanaag now utilise the recently constructed Mait sea port. The Bosaso port is no longer in use; instead, the choice is between Berbera and Mait. It is also noteworthy that the great Muse Ismail clan has never faced a challenge to their leadership in their own city. They have governed Ceerigabo since 1991, a city that even the formidable Afweyne could not sway, which is why Ceerigabo fell to the SNM before Hargeisa, Burco, or Berbera. Ceerigabo's status is beyond dispute. As for the Maakhir community, the majority vacated the city in 1991. At that time, only four individuals from the Maakhir clan remained—a Doobile and three women who were married to Ismaciil Xaji Nuur.

    It’s quite the rational strategy here, nothing but respect for our Abyssinian brothers, for they are driven by national interest and real politics, far from the sort of emotionally driven gambling sort of politics that characterised Somali’s. Based on these strategic options, while having paid attention to history and learning from others elsewhere, it’s quite clear what the strategic directions are, that seem to have already been put in to motion. 1. Seek closer diplomatic ties with Eritrea with the goal of eventually orchestrating a military take over with inside rebels supporting. Perhaps that’s what has antagonised Afewerki. 2. In Djibouti ensure isolation of IOG and eventually ensure peaceful handover(takeover) to an Ethiopian favoured candidate, perhaps an Afar or an Ethiopian picked candidate . 3. Somalia/Somaliland, keep undermining the Somali’s and their authorities by colluding and paying lip service and support to some of their short sighted leaders, eventually and as one is accustomed from them, they will orchestrate their own complete downfall by crumpling in to sub-clan fiefdoms and internal civil wars, for Ethiopian only to wals in and occupy a strip of coast and port which surely some would gladly cheer it on, while Somali’s are to busy fighting each other.

    Thanks Che, but i do not really know it, i will let you know when i findout. it really looks better than any of the houses i have seen in Mogadisho or Hargaysa. The way they builind houses in Garoowe is very close to how they do in Western Countries. I said, close, becuase there is few things i could have done better, but never the less is a masive step up. one of the reason somalis buy houses abroad (istanbul, nairobi, dubai and so on) was becuase of the lack off quality of construction in somalia.
