^Isn't that Xaabsade? I didn't know Xaabsade was an UDUB man .

^^Dont ask an UDUB insider about Siilaanyo. For UDUB insiders,even Jabbuuti is a closet Somaliland supporter.

^^Suldan of SOL told me that in reality UDUB is the most entrenched political coalition in SL. Yesterday’s news of UDUB collapse, he said, is a mere noise and Riyaale will most likely win this coming election. In light of that useful data good Suldan provided, I am beginning to question the strength of Siilaanyo’s political base. It’s high time for Northern to give a 101 Somaliland Politics and Trends. I am sure NGONGE and I can both benefit such an able exposition. But if and when Siilaanyo wins, I believe the fundamental assumption of Somaliland’s bid for independence will be redefined. I feel obliged to stop here lest I give Siilaanyo’s opposition (Jacayl included) ammos for political propaganda. Double check your source, says I.

Where was such reasoning when Yusuf was president and you attacked him for the some thing you are defending the good shaikh now? You have a point there. But you are forgetting that Yey invited/allowed Ethiopia to invade Somalia. A lot of people opposed him on that basis. He was not opposed because he met Zenawi. That would have been preposterous.

^^Waryee Santaaro jacayl ma jiro brother. Siilaanyo waa oday hadda da'a jooga, marka waa in laguu dayyaa xukunka oo ninka lotionka iskaga mar-marsada meesha laga saara.

Warranle, I dont get you any more brother. I think you just like to oppose things. Originally posted by Khayr: ^^^^ Xiin, You are starting to remind of General Duke with your blinding love for Sh. Hotel. Love is a strong word. But I support the man. What is blind about suggesting some pertinent points for peaceful conclusion of Somali tragedy? Never mind that question for you have never been the intellectual type. Just tell us who you support and why? Or tell us if you will why do you think Sharif and Jabbuuti process that produced him is not worthy of our support? Sophist; good to see you, brother. Emperor too.

^Emp, All I am saying is you're are milking too much on that press release. It may be the case that PL is determined not to work with Sharif. But again it may work with him. We just dont know. We hope they work together. Adiguse waad shiddeysantahay. Of course I dont know you personally but judging from what you have been focusing on so far, it seems that you are hoping these two entities dont work togegher. Now you are telling me you are misunderstood . I take your word for it. Waxayse balo ka taagan tahay sidii Aw Tusbaxle adoo Sharifka & PL ku dhexjira in lagu arko

Somalipride, welcome back. I want my Xaafuun pic. Were you able to go to Xaafuun?

^^^^Adeer PL had press releases whose underlying political objectives were easy to understand. The state has been quite since then, and communication channels have been reportedly open and positive. It's YOU who in more one thread seem to be resolved to exploit two mere press releases adeer. Why? You don’t have to support Sharif. Support Somalia and peaceful dialogue. If you do however feel comfortable with the current status quo say so, Emperor! I mean you have been very negative in your attitude toward the Jabbuuti development for no apparent reason. edit: selecting a PM from Puntland region is part of dealing with Faroole's admin. Ideally Sharif would solicit that admin's input but he doesn't has to. It's very simple. Puntland is in Somalia. Sharif is Somali president. The very same process that propelled one of PL's sons to power has produced Sharif. what is so difficulty saaxiib? I can understand politicians spinning clannish rubbish, but that's a different arguement. What is yours is all I am asking. Lets hope a smooth transition,not confrontation.

Originally posted by Emperor: Even if the PM selected is to be from Puntland he wouldn't land, trust me he won't, otherwise he will face jail, so what's the point. Shariif Ahmed inuu tago warkiisa iskadaa. ^^Could you please expound a bit as to why you are so resolved against PL working with Sharif’s government? What is your rationale adeer? I just want understand where you are coming from.

Pres. Sharif rubbishes false troop request reports That should do it.

Caqlow ba'a! Sharif met with American officials, the group who sanctioned and financed Ethiopia's brutal invassion. Ethiopia is a functioning state. We cant wish her away. Talking to her is not a crime, or immoral. Endorsing her immoral policies is. And Sharif did not do that. What are you crying about ya Jac?

This is not a reactoin to Sharif's victory. It's a follow up for a previous announcements these same groups made. This time they selected a leader and a name. having said that, it will be a mistake if they oppose Sharif. There is a certain pressure on these groups from Alshabaab in the south. Especially in Kismayo and Xamar. Sharif should start talking to these guys first.

edit: Gheelle, Abraham is the father of certian clans. That Duke recognises him is interesting indeed. You see Duke the value of your subclan somehow escapes me as far as your political standing is concern. In other words I dont blve I would gain much if I assert Duke is from a certain Balibusle town somewher in the Mudug valey. Do you see the point adeer?

^^Aside from his 'kala-fireyn' trademark, Che i blve represents PL and its future. Belaayo wuxuu ku dhigay sidaan iskula socotaan buu adiga kugu bilaabayyaa

^^Norf, NG is leading that charge these days. Maxaam ku laalushnaa ninkan ? Geeljire, waa la kheyraa bro. If the good sheekh deviates from the road of reconciliation we will call out on him. Needless to say his efforts will fail if he attempts inuu muquunin ku dayyo where dialogue is needed.

Che & Gheelle, ma Duke baad xamanaysaan ? Duke knows a lot. He knows for instance that I am from Goldogob. Cut Duke some slack guys

C/raxmaan: Ciidan shisheeye ma dalban Shalay waxaaan sii deynay in mas'uul ka tirsan wasaaradda arrimaha dibedda ee Ethiopia, uu u sheegay BBC in madaxweynaha cusub ee Somalia uu ka codsaday caalamka inay taageero militeri ka siiyaan sidii looga hortagi lahaa kooxo uu ku tilmaamay xag jir oo diidan qorshaha nabadda. Hase yeeshee Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur Warsame oo ahaa madaxii hore ee heshiiski Djibouti u qaabilsanaa Isbahaysiga Dib u xoreynta, haatana ka mid ah wafdiga Madaxweynaha ee magaalada Addis Ababa ayaa waxa uu beeniyay in Madaxweynaha cusub uu dalbaday ciidamo shisheey. Cabdiraxmaan waxa uu sheegay inuu ka mid ahaa dadkii wax ka qoray khudbadda Madaxweynaha, isla markaana uu goob joog ka ahaa markii uu shirka Midowga Africa ka jeedinayay, oo aanay marnaba ku jirin ciidamo shisheeye. Waxa uu sheegay inay tahay arrin lagu doonayo in lagu carqaladeeyo hannaanka nabadda, isla markaana lagu sumcad dilayo Madaxweynaha cusub. BBC.com

AfricaOwn, can you really reason adeer? lool@NG's 'he created the 'hype' we believe in'. No he did not. He fought for justice and against Barre, but not for seccessionsm. History is on my side on that argument. SL had, and still has, money ‘mujaahids’, as you folks like to call them, who fought against Barre’s military regime. But for the last thirty years, it produced only two fine politicians with real shacbiyyah who rose and gained a national stature. One died. The other is still alive. His name is Siilaanyo. Pray for him to win yaa NG because he may be, just may be, the only man capable of transitioning your part of Somalia from Ahmed Yasin’s ‘way dhaqaaqday’ (a term good Xaaji Xanduf aptly gave its mystic value of ‘way duushay ’) to a more rational state, politically. As for Sharif, you may not realize it but he is your real president if you allow me to discount the Prime Minister of England. Wish him for a speedy success yaa Xaaji. Don’t be like nuune saxib.

^^It' s all in your head adeer. Xiin sees SL as a part of Somalia hence its politics is no different than that of PL. I want to see Siilaanyo to win cuz I blve he is the only politician who can see beyond the hype you blve in.

Originally posted by Abtigiis &Tolka: I am livid with this so called Sheikh. War ileen noocanina wuu ii danbeeyey. What was that thing about shaking hands with Meles like nothing happened before. Ok, let us say it is politics. What was the yelling about Eritrea? could he have not done it in Djibouti. War dadka Somaliya ku nool maxaa ani idaba wada. I am feeling ashamed as a somali. Walaahi inaan Ethiopian noqdaa malaha la qaataa????????Noocya badana. Pathetic. Sheikh Hotel is sounding more like a new Yey with his actions. I now wonder why I hated my uncle Abdullahi Yususf so much? I have to go to Yemen and apologise. I mean at least the old man is not a pretender. يغوس البحر من طلب اللؤالي ومن طلب العلي سهر اليالي Yours are vengeance pulses adeer. You are not keeping your eye on the ball. You are more concerned with mere gestures and tactical appeasements instead of evaluating where Somalia is today. At the end of the day, Sharif will be successful not because he took Zenawi’s hand or refused to shake it for that matter. Instead his success will depend on how he engages with his political opponents at home. Keep your eyes on the ball waryee.

Originally posted by *Ibtisam*: What if Riyaal refuses to go :eek: If YEy was still in power, he would've gone to join him and offered Borame as the bribe, I guess Sharif might be game. I don't really care who wins, as long as it does not disturb the people. Worse thing would be if those goons start fighting. Ibti, Your concern is real. People of Puntland had the same exact concerns before Faroole’s election. I trust the people of SL will remain who they are despite the crumble of old goons and the power that sustain it. Despite NGONGE’s hype of way duushay, the real differentiator that SL has is peace and stability, and we all hope that will be the case after the coming elections. We want Siilaanyo though .

^^ @convince Tusbaxle War ninkaa hanagu taataaban illaahay haddaad taqaanid . Sharif is doing all the right things. After he selects his pm i blve he will go back to somalia, and start the reconciliation process.

Somaliland.org - Laba Shir oo xisbiga UDUB ayaa maanta lagu kala qabtay Hoteelada Maansoor iyo Deeq ALLA ee magaalada Hargaysa, kadib markii xisbiga UDUB ku kala qaybsamay qaabka loo qabanayo shirka. Hoteelka Maansoor waxa maanta lagu qabtay shirwaynaha xisbiga UDUB oo ay soo qabanqaabiyeen guddi uu magacaabay Madaxwayne Daahir Riyaale, ahna guddoomiyaha xisbiga UDUB, oo uu hogaaminayo Axmed Yuusuf Yaasiin oo ah Madaxwayne ku xigeenka Somaliland, halka hoteelka kale oo la yidhaahdo Deeq ALLA-na lagu qabtay shir ay ku baaqeen xubnihii hore u sheegay in ay u sharaxan yihiin jagada Madaxwaynaha iyo Madaxwayne ku xigeenka xisbiga UDUB dhexdiisa. UDUB-ta dowliga ah: Shirwaynaha xisbiga UDUB ee ay soo qabanqaabiyeen guddida uu magacaabay Madaxwayne Riyeele ee lagu qabtay Hoteel Maansoor, ayaa waxa ka qayb galay dad ka badan kun qof oo laga soo xulay dhamaan gobolada dalka iyo jaaliyadaha dibadda. Waxaana shirkaas laga hor joogsaday in ay ka qayb galaan musharaxiinta caddeeyay in ay kula tartamayaan Madaxwaynaha iyo ku xigeenkiisa xisbiga UDUB gudihiisa. Sidoo kale waxa laga reebay ergooyinka ka qayb galaya shirka ilaa toban xildhibaan oo ka tirsan xisbiga UDUB oo badidooda laga soo doortay gobolka Togdheer, saxaafadda madaxa banana ayaa inteeda badan iyana laga horjoogsaday. Amaanka ayaa aad loo adkeeyay madasha shirka lagu qabanayay iyada oo la xidhay dhamaan jidadka soo gala Hoteelka. Waxa kale oo ciidamada amaanku xidheen jidka dheer ee hor mara xarunta Madaxtooyada Somaliland ee badhtamaha magaalada Hargaysa iyo jidka hor mara Xarunta Komishanka Doorashooyinka Qaranka. Xubnaha ergooyinka shirka ayaa gebi ahaan waxay ahaayeen dad si gaara loo soo xulay oo u badan shaqaalaha dawladda iyo dad ay kaadhadhka ka qayb galka shirka u geeyeen Wasiiradda Xukuumadda Riyaale, oo sida la sheegay la dhaariyay. Wasiirudawlihii hore ee Wasaaradda hawlaha guud Aadan Maxamed Diiriye (Ruush) oo dhawaan iska casilay xilkii, kuna dhawaaqay in uu u sharaxanyahay jagada musharaxa Madaxwaynaha ee xisbiga UDUB oo isagu haystay kaadhka ayaa banaanka looga soo saaray shirka. Aadan Ruush oo u waramay warbaahinta ayaa sheegay in laga hor joogsaday in uu galo hoolka shirku ka dhacayo, isla markaana lagu war-geliyay inaan madasha loo ogolayn musharax aan ahayn Madaxwayne Riyaale. Shirka maanta ayaa waxa ka qayb galay oo hadalo ka jeediyay Madaxwaynaha Somaliland Daahir Riyaale Kaahin oo ah guddoomiyaha xisbiga UDUB iyo ku xigeenkiisa Axmed Yuusuf Yaasiin. Madasha oo ku bilaabantay kuna dhamaatay durbaan, sacab, mushxarad iyo muusig, ayaa Madaxwayne Riyaale waxa uu ka akhriyay khudbad dheer oo 35 bog ah, taasoo isugu jirtay hanjabaad, faan iyo digniin uu u jeediyay wax uu ugu yeedhay dad khalkhal gelinaya amaanka iyo jiritaanka Somaliland. Waxaanu shirkaasi ku dhamaaday maanta dhagaysiga khudbada Riyaale iyo waraaqo loo qaybiyay ergooyinka oo lagu sheegay barnaamijka xisbiga, waxaana lagu wadaa in uu berri soo gabagaboobo shirkaasi oo la filayo in uu doorto hogaanka xisbiga iyo xubnaha golaha dhexe. Qaar ka mid ah ka qayb galayaasha shirkaasi waxay sheegeen in aan loo ogolayn wax hadal iyo dood ah balse sacab, mushxarad iyo taageero qudha ay u joogaan halkaasi. UDUB-ta Dimuqraadiga ah: Dhinaca kale musharaxiintii hore u sheegay in ay u sharaxan yihiin jagooyinka Madaxwaynaha iyo madaxwayne ku xigeenka xisbiga UDUB dhexdiisa iyo masuuliyiin farabadan oo ka tirsan xildhibaanada golaha Wakiillada ee xisbiga UDUB, golaha dhexe iyo guddida fulinta ee xisbiga UDUB ayaa maanta iyaguna shirk u qabtay Hoteelka Deeq ALLA ee magaalada Hargaysa. Shirkan labaad ee xisbiga UDUB oo ay hogaaminayeen xubnaha musharaxiinta ah oo ay ka qayb galeen ergooyin tiro badan ayaa waxa hadal ka jeediyay Cabdillaahi Xuseen Iimaan Darawal iyo Axmed Maxamed Jawhari, waxaanay sheegeen in shirku u furanyahay, waxaana lagu doortay 7 xubnood oo ah shirguddoonka hagaya shirka, iyada oo barrina halkaasi laga sii amba qaadi doono, laguna dooran doono musharaxiinta xisbiga UDUB uga qayb galaysa tartanka doorashada Madaxtooyada oo loo qoondeeyay in ay qabsoonto 29-ka March ee sannadkan 2009. Dildilaaca ballaadhan iyo kala qaybsanaanta ku timid xisbiga UDUB ayaa ku soo beegmay wakhti ay doorashadii madaxtooyada ka hadhay in ka yar konton maalmood oo kaliya. Labada qaybood ee xisbiga UDUB ee maanta labada shir ku kala qabsaday magaalada Hargaysa ayaa la filayaa in ay qoloba dhankeeda ku soo doorato musharaxa madaxwaynaha iyo madaxwayne ku xigeenka ee xisbiga UDUB uga qayb gali doonta tartanka doorashada madaxtooyada dalka. Su’aasha lays waydiinayo ayaa ah labada shirwayne ee xisbiga UDUB midka sharci noqon doona iyo saamaynta ay arrintaasi mustaqbalka ku yeelan doonto xisbiga UDUB. Labada xisbi ee mucaaridka ah ee KULMIYE iyo UCID ayaa qabsaday shirwaynayaashoodii, soona xulay musharaxiintoodii oo ku diyaara miidaanka ciyaarta.
