Somali and turkey have good relations and continue to have, the same time Turkey and Saudi will have good working relations whatever ending of the murder case . I agree to the timing of Khayre visit to Saudi was not the right time but it has to do more to local politics and funding rather Turkey. There were some lower Somali officers who participated in the event, Sudan president was the highest international leader participated. Turkey needs Somalia, as Somalia needs the turkey. It is a strategic, historic and economic relationship beyond Farmaajo co. Somalia is not doomed, it is future is bright when the right people are in leadership.

This is an interesting development and the right thing to do for the Somali government. I do not understand why they have to give visa for Somali passport holders and ignore foreign passport holders. They use to give an entry letter for Hargeysa resident and ignored others.

No Somali leader ever won re-election or two elections in a row. Even period between 1960 -1969. Gaas has a very difficult time. He made mistakes not to deal with Biixi when Puntland tribes gave him all the support he needed to get back Tukaraq. It is more likely a person from Garoowe or Boosaaso wins this time. Faroole could win again if he runs. Ina Abdirashiid has zero chance of winning. He can not run Puntland without money, just too difficult for him.

It is true. But adds of compromise is zero before the regional elections. However, if Somalia is going to move somewhere now and in the future, it needs a political winner behind the majority of the people who can lead the country. There is nothing call political census. Countries with leaders from either left or right have shown the most progress in history. Even America is doing better with Trump at least for now.

The coming southern west region election is the key who is going to win the power competition. Farmaajo government must win in the south. It will be interesting to see if Gaas and Co next meeting will be held in Duusomareeb. It will be first-time Gaas people and dhuusomareeb people are in the same boat.

The whole story is changing to different level, now both Trump and MBS have to survive together. Trump is lifting the turk sections and they are talking about giving a burial for the missing writer. The odds are not good for good ending. Erdgon and Turkey have much more information they did not leak yet. MBS is ruthless and no one knows how long he can go and he may take Trump with him. This could be the modern watergate. Trump and Pompeo continue to defend Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi crisis. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/17/politics/trump-pompeo-saudi-defense/index.html

what that has to do about the story? Farmaajo is not a man of the money. However even the old days, modish was the home of corruption. people are screaming to have the ability to continue steal. The only way to fight the corruption is to use modern ways of pepper less tax collection. you let customer pay to the bank and use random inspectors and more fines for not buying right on time. Somalis in America learned quickly the hard ways.

“We are strong and old allies,” the crown prince said in English, in brief remarks as the meeting began. “We face our challenges together, as the past, as today, for tomorrow, implying we are all together here. The Alsacuudi family has Turk connections if not Turk heritage.

It seems they are looking a replacement and MBS is done for sure as the next future King. His cousin Abdalla which suppose to be next King have now the chance to make comeback. This is a typical western political culture to sacrifice one individual's political career. Will MBS be ignorant to refuse to disappear?. Is this will be a lesson for Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Emirati leader.

There are nowhere to pass this one, Erdogan himself want to keep his Saudi relationship undamage. There was, in fact, another friend of moqdisho who threat punishment with Saudi and the letter was support of the Saudi statement. The separatist and the oppositions are clueless fools. The villa Somalia is clearly predictable here but rest are circulating around to nowhere. When Saylici visited there, the whole marfash group was celebrating. How quickly can they give up the Saudi now?

The king and his son are good for now. They made deal with Turk and Trump is backing off his threat. They will blame invisible people and everyone that matter is willing to accept their story. But the crime of killing the innocent writer in a cold-blooded way will remain with them forever.

You also sound mad. when did you start caring poor koonfurian. Stay tone, we will witness more good news from somalia.

The old man tone is changing from the normal bragging to pure Habaar. From discrediting nonsense everything that happens in Somalia to predicting hopelessness. I think he is making progress. Farmaajo and Khayre are making progress. With streamline of cash and stable buget they will able to do more. in fact the election 2020 is possible, specially the president one. There are 64 district where the election can take place out of the old 84 districts. The boys will not be around another two years. If they will do, they will be even weaker.

Shariif saakin is not present again. He is always somewhere else.

There are differences between the nation of Saudi Arabia and it is rulers. The nation of Saudi is very important, the birthplace of prophet Mohamed and Muslims wholly place, the world oil-rich country and the heart of tribal middle east. In other hands, it is rulers as of form of 13-century European style kingdom which installed the British has been vulnerable and will be vulnerable in the modern time and that is the real issue that makes the relationship between the west in general and ruling family important. The west advocates a liberal world order but supported the Saudi ruler family and the rest of other monarchists in the region. this will be definitely the mystery and challenges of 21 century. Nothing stays the same for a long time and it will be interesting to see how the inventable changes affect the world, as the Saudi population increases and reforms have been a shortcoming. We already witness the new Ethiopian revolution, we will witness more Arab spring in the middle east as the world witnessed the French revolution

The vedios are damaging. The boy is compromised. He could face regime change and replaced by his cousins. Saudi Arabia is very important country, not only for muslims but anybody else. With this Trump will be one term president for sure too.

I have been here for a while and I see the desperation from old man and the company trying to invent a Zero game bissiness. The saylici party in Hargeysa is not a worthy news. And it does not worth commenting it. You may try to call to Math Bayden instead emailing him. He will probably print another warming article.

I think, what you want to say is as long as they friendly to Israel. Dollar pricing could be history very soon. China is already largest oil importer and they will demand the yen to be currency of their choice.

Desperate times. The world has changed, It is not the era of Kurdish style geo-politics. Get a rest and just watch where the wind is going to blow next. The jihadi thing is history too and do not even try to benefit it.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-saudis-form-joint-team-khashoggi-disappearance-1968840816 A Face-saving deal has made already, the Saudi will put the blame some of their people.

This is an interesting case and the Turk knows the whole story. They will embarrass everyone who is involved but will move on in the end. The planes who brought the men went to UAE and Egypt before they left to Saudi Arabia, this was the first information the Turk provided. The Turk must react forcefully because this implies the country Turkey is not safe and this must be part of the plan. Where are the western humanitarian organizations, they have been quite so far? This is a miserably failed operation and will have a huge influence on the future of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This clearly explains how the peaceful of Boosaaso city became an unsafe city where innocent people are killed. The gangs of both sides are working together to maintain their business. The somaliland PRU was involved in the death of 57 innocent people in Lasanod for seven years and no one was never convicted. In moqdisho the NISA was doing the same thing since Farmaajo government reformed that organization. Somali has become the new GUATEMALA AND SALVADORE. The violence is a small part of the large part of the business of anarchism that many people are involved and it will be a mistake if you only focus one of the gangs.

This is not only moqdisho thing, there are also fake money factories in Puntland. Where ever they are these people are enemy of Somali people and the return of law and order.

Roobow understand the problems and knows how to solve it. He just mentioned the anarchists that closed the road
