  1. These guys are as corrupt as it gets
  2. Oh my god, this man is out of control. I thought this thread was a joke when I first saw it but I now realize Culusoow is treating the presidency like to a kid who found a pile of candy. Shameful. He needs to focus on what is happening in the country and stop enjoying useless foreign trips.
  3. @Abtigiis is the leader of the Somali Region in Ethiopia. Xiinfaniin is a Federal Minister. Wow. Legends.
  4. What is amazing about the CBB vs MBB drama is that Somalis found more decent ways of taking different sides of issues without the bullets flying. I see real progress.
  5. Are they all from beesha Unuka????
  6. @galbeediwill find out the truth as our resident investigator. I don't think this is true. But knowing HSM having some integrity issues, I would not be surprised.
  7. He kind of looks like Kikuya, I thought it was a bad picture. lol. Let us give the dude a chance. Hopefully he can do better than all the buffoons before him.
  8. lool. The mucaarad already startedto kill the "build a home for Farmaajo" project. They are saying the money collected should be given to the draught victims instead of building a house for Farmaajo who gets $33,000 every month from the government as per the salary for former presidents. Guddoomiyihii hore ee gobolka Banaadir Thaabit Cabdi Maxamed ayaa qoraal uu bartiisa Facebook soo dhigay wuxuu ku yiri, “Qoysas baa quraac quudan, qado iyo casho warkoodaba daa. Guri sharafeed mise Gaajo, Alleylehe gaajo baa gurmadka mudan! Haloo gurmado hooyada harraadsan, sabiga iyo waayeelka gaajada u la’anaya, taa baa darajo sare leh diiniyan iyo damiir ahaanba.”
  9. He will be gone pretty soon similar to all those who said they would stay but never made it. It is a popular saying among Somali politicians to say "wadanka ka tegi maayo". Many xildhibaano said the same thing.
  10. It seems Farmaajo’s old social media surrogate is not giving the new guy a chance. Who cares if Culusoow hires social media surrogates who will defend his agenda to start with. He is new and he has to start somewhere and he probably is not as social media savvy as Farmaajo so it may take a while for his surrogates to leave tribal identity and go mainstream.
  11. Waraabe will be on HAG case pretty soon. Give him some time.
  12. One thing that will never be in dispute is that Farmaajo was a master of social media. There is no one that comes even close. But social media campaigns don’t win elections. In the end what matters is what the actual voters (MPs) think of you. We can all agree that majority did not think Farmaajo getting another 5 years was in the best interest of Somalia at this time.
  13. Farmaajo pushed the dictatorial limits and that was most likely his downfall. He was truly convinced of his own invincibility till the end. People were also tired of the continued corruption that never went away even though Farmaajo campaigned on a promise to end it. I think this was anti-Farmaajo vote than anything else. Anyways, the country needs prayers and all the help it can get because the new guy was far worse on corruption than Farmaajo. Hopefully HSM learned his lesson and comes up with new ideas to govern the country because he was truly unable to deliver anything meaningful the last time he was given the chance.
  14. “Dear Muslim brothers, in our country, you will not go to heaven,” an Azov fighter says in a video shared by Ukraine’s National Guard. A video shows a masked man dipping bullets into chunks of gelatinous lard before carefully loading them into a gun’s magazine. As he performs the unusual ritual, he calmly issues a grave warning. “Dear Muslim brothers, in our country, you will not go to heaven. You will not be allowed into heaven. Go home, please. Here, you will encounter trouble. Thank you for your attention, goodbye,” the unidentified man says. The video was posted by the National Guard of Ukraine on Sunday on Twitter, three days after Russian forces launched a military assault into Ukraine. The caption says it depicts an Azov fighter preparing bullets to be aimed at “Kadyrov orcs” by lacing them with fat from pork, which is forbidden to Muslims. The reference is believed to be addressed to Muslim Chechen soldiers. On Saturday, Ramzon Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Muslim-majority Chechnya region, said Chechen soldiers had been deployed to fight alongside the Russian army in Ukraine. As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict threatens to engulf Eastern Europe, military propaganda and rhetoric have revved up on both sides of the divide. The Azov Battalion is an ultranationalist volunteer arm of the National Guard of Ukraine that was formally infused into its ranks after it fought against pro-Russian separatists in 2014. The battalion has been accused of espousing neo-Nazi beliefs and reportedly continues to bear Wolfsangel insignia, used by Nazi units during World War II. The battalion’s first commander was Andriy Biletsky, a white nationalist who in 2010 said that Ukraine’s national purpose was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans].” Russian President Vladimir Putin has justified his so-called “special military operation” with intentions to “demilitarise and de-Nazify” Ukraine. Kadyrov, the Chechen leader, also echoed Putin’s characterization of Ukrainian forces as “Nazis.” The claims of a “Nazi” Ukraine have sparked widespread outrage and have been strongly denied by Ukrainian officials, including its Jewish president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reportedly lost members of his family in the Holocaust. The video of the Azov fighter has been criticised for blatantly espousing racist rhetoric as part of pro-Ukrainian military propaganda. It has been called out for Islamaphobia by social media users, including British-Pakistani comedian Tez Ilyas, who reacted to it in a tweet saying, “Being killed by a lard covered bullet doesn’t disqualify one from entering Muslim heaven. Far-right racists made that up and the official Ukrainian National Guard is endorsing it. These are the forces my Foreign Secretary wants British civilians to go fight with?” “In the latest news you just can't make up: Ukraine’s National Guard publicly praised its neo-Nazi fighters from the white-supremacist Azov movement for greasing bullets with pig fat to kill Russian Muslims, demonizing them as ‘orcs,’” another Twitter user said. Although restricted by Twitter for hateful content, the video remains accessible on the platform. Facebook, meanwhile, has refrained from flagging content involving the Azov Battalion. According to internal policy documents viewed by The Intercept, the social media company will temporarily “allow praise of the Azov Battalion when explicitly and exclusively praising their role in defending Ukraine or their role as part of the Ukraine’s National Guard.” Islam forbids its adherents to consume pork. In some past conflicts involving Muslim combatants, pig fat–laced bullets from their enemies made headlines for inciting Islamophobia. In 2013, an Idaho City-based ammunition firm came under fire for its line of “Jihawg Ammunition” – bullets laced with pork grease and writing that condemns “Islamist terrorists to hell.” A well-documented incident involving fat-laced ammunition was the 1857 Indian War of Independence. After rumours spread that the cartridges of Enfield rifles, which had to be bitten off to be used, were greased in pig and cow fat – sacrilegious to Muslim and Hindu soldiers – Indian infantrymen abandoned their rifles and fought against their commanders in the British East India Company. The soldiers eventually lost the war, and thereafter India was brought under the direct control of the British crown. Vice.com
  15. lol. This chubby dude has been controlling Farmaajo's policy all these years? Waa nin rag ah wallee.
  16. What are the Afar's doing? Not sure what you are referring to. Aren't they still fighting on behalf of the Habesha regime?
  17. This is a welcome step if it will bring development to the Somali people. If it gives opportunity to the people of Berbera, minus the recognition strange stuff , I would support American presence there instead of Amhara mercenaries. But as long as Ilhan Omar is there in Congress, I don't think Biden Admin will go ahead with recognition stuff. That would be my guess.
  18. Well done Galbeedi for fighting back.
  19. Great leader. Too bad they gave him COVID. Hopefully he gets better.
  20. Similar to pro-Farmaajo social media farms. "noo geeya" stunts are well documented online. I am actually not surprised poor students of Somali origin (I am assuming) are being paid on both side to make money while they spend time on social media. It is normal me thinks. No one truly cares about Somalia and its people. Every Somali politician out there has a personal interest.
