"waar odaygii doonoo duco ugu dara waad na dubateene" Galbeedi's concerns about this water project were often dismissed as nonsense. Time to find him and loo duceeyo. It is shocking that 370 million dollars are missing. Where is all that money?

Suldaanka, you seem to be more interested in jabbing the great @galbeedithan give us any convincing evidence that Djibouti took the decision it took because of Somaliland. Your entire argument is based on the timing of the announcement. I say the timing is not suspect. Until you give us more evidence, we just have to agree to disagree on this. Does anyone have the Somaliland-DP World contract? Here is more from the Djibouti-DP World dispute.

Suldaanka and Oodweyne are taking things out of context. Following are facts to consider: DP world has been fighting contract issues with Djibouti for the last six years. The Berbera and Bosaso deals are fresh deals and a last-ditch effort by DP world to “diversify” and spread its risk after contract disagreements with Djibouti. DP world has majority voting rights in the Doraleh port when in fact the DP World’s ownership is only 33%. The other 67% is owned by the Djiboutian Government. Djibouti’s government wants to change the unfair contract they signed when they were desperate. I would do the same. DP World has been demanding that Djbouti NOT build any other ports or expand existing ones. DP’s demands are unfair to say the least. Djibouti’s Ghelleh was the biggest supporter of Kulmiye Party (the current ruling party of Somaliland) during the election. Wadani came out against the port deal publicly and Djibouti did everything it could to undermine Wadani in the election. Mr. Bihi, knew about the long battle between DP World and Djibouti long before yesterday’s news. He has a very close relationship with Gheeleh. DP World/Djibouti contract dispute is expected to have no impact on the two presidents' relationship. So saxibayaal, I hold a different view. The Djibouti/DP world issue has very little to do with Somaliland. Let us not smell smoke where there is none.

This is a well planned mission. It has been in the works for a while.

Aamiin.

Somaliland:University of Hargeisa Goes DotSo of the Somalia Federal Government! The Republic of Somaliland’s state-owned, state-run University of Hargeisa (UOH) goes under the official Somalia Federal Government domain DotSo (.so). Permission for use of FGS domain was granted UOH by the Somalia National InformationCommission – SONIC – and the contact address is retained by it, with the technical email remaining under the official admin@sonic.gov.so (the gov standing for the Somalia Federal government).The University of Hargeisa has in the past used domains ending with DotCom or DotNet, maintaining its independence and identity as a Somaliland university. Inexplicably, the UOH chooses to share the official Somalia domain .So with the University of Somalia (www.uniso.edu.so), Mogadishu University (www.mu.edu.so), SIMAD (www.simad.edu.so), Kismayu University (www.ku.edu.so), and all the rest of Somalia-owned universities. Unlike the UOH, Puntland universities, which rightly fall under the Somalia Federal Government, choose to remain with their .Com and .net domains: PSU (Garowe): www.puntlandstateuniversity.com, East Africa University (Bossasso): www.easafricauniverrsity.net. The University has been on the up-and-up since 2003 stepping on to an upward-inching path to excellence which led to the new leadership taking the reins following a sputtering period the university suffered. Under the new administration that has taken over the university helm some three years ago, the university has made a number of changes most of which, hitherto, going the right direction. It, to cite but one example, joined African and international university associations to lend credence to its accreditations. It also stepped up its postgrad programs and gave a complementing facelift to its main campus. Of late, a great deal of shady, little-known developments had been surfacing that none of which has been submitted to or approved by a hodge-podge university council that, itself, hardly comes together. An investigation into how many other deals has the UOH going with Mogadishu is, certainly, in order. The current UOH leadership, in this latest development, crosses the education border over to an area that squarely lays them bare to criminal litigation and a possible indictment on high treason. The Republic of Somaliland restored its 1960 independence in May 1991, following a thirty-year domination and untold of suffering in the union it joined with Somalia on 1 July 1960. Somaliland towns and cities were totally demolished, hundreds of thousands fled over to Ethiopian refuge centers and equal numbers died, were maimed or suffered irreparable traumas under the brutal Somalia-dominated, military regime of General Siyad Barre.

If historical borders are not important to stay with Somaliland, why advocate for SSC with borders defined by the same colonialists? If clan lineage is not enough to stay with Puntland, how is it enough to form SSC based on clan? The Dhulos family is only one father removed from Puntlanders in terms of clan lineage. I don't know if Mr. Osman presented a convincing argument here.

Consider the positives again 1. Oodweyne will be in charge of the pie 2. His pie got bigger 3. He is eating it in his house (Hargeisa) Perfect opportunity to whip all the ninnies forever, right?

I hope it is part of the unity discussion with Mr. Biixi to move Somalia's capital city to Hargeisa for good.

Well, let us look at the positives. For the first time, the government found credible intelligence and gave warnings to the public. The next warning they give will shutdown the entire city because this one was proven to be right.

As much as I hate Arabs exploiting and taking advantage of poor African countries ruled by corruption, I think Djibouti's decision may damage the country's reputation. Any breach of contract like this gives future investors a good reason to keep their money in their pockets. However, China doesn't care and may be angling for the opportunity to takeover.

Anarchist wing may have helped the terrorists. How is it that a dying terrorist with their backs against the wall due to Trump's daily bombardments, is able to mount a spectacular attack? They are getting a lot of help.

lol@Postlord. That is a new one.

This is a big deal.

DJIBOUTI, (Reuters) - Djibouti has ended a contract with Dubai’s DP World, one of the world’s biggest port operators, to run its Doraleh Container Terminal, the president’s office said on Thursday. “The Republic of Djibouti has decided to proceed with the unilateral termination with immediate effect of the concession contract awarded to DP World,” the office of President Ismail Omar Guelleh said in a statement. A DP World spokesman declined to comment. Last February, the London Court of International Arbitration cleared DP World of all charges of misconduct over a concession to operate the terminal, Dubai’s government said at the time. In 2014, the government of Djibouti lodged claims accusing DP World, majority-owned by the Dubai government, of illegal payments to secure a 50-year concession for the Doraleh Container Terminal, the Dubai government said. The president’s office said the contract was ended after the failure to resolve a long-running dispute between the two parties that started in 2012. It gave no other details on the nature of the dispute, but said it took the decision to protect its “national sovereignty and economic independence.” “It should be noted that the Doraleh Container Terminal (DCT) will now be under the authority of the Doraleh Container Terminal Management Company which is fully owned by the government,” the statement said.

It is good that the Tigray bosses are planning to force any Oromo stooge to visit Jigjiga and ask for forgiveness. It will not bring back the dead Somalis, but it may give the Somalis a temporary political closure.

Ducaale, Fadumo Dayib is the head of UN Women Somalia. She is on Farmaajo's camp in principle and is close to him. It was confusing to see her dining with Mr. Biixi while young native girls of lesser profile are rotting in jail for something as simple as making a facebook comment. The lack of consistency was surprising.

Galbeedi will be sick to his stomach. I hope this is internet fake news.

Lema the Oromo is back in the running game again according to news article.

All I see is only men watching.

Why is this lady in Hargeysa? Again, nothing makes sense anymore.
