i'm convinced Hassan ''I look like a President'' Sheikh Mohamud has a deep dark secret. now, i don't like to work on 'speculative wax-la-yidhis', but we'll soon figure this out. balse, if my opinions are of any value, particularly those based on this seedy video extravagant. it's almost certain, he's a member of an underground paedophile ring. it's written on his face. this ''nomad diplomacy'', which has clearly been plagiarised and is now doubt, predicted on Shirka Borama iyo Shirki Burao is a great insult to real Nomads who've engaged in real Diplomacy. ask Hassan, when he was last in the miyi and i bet he doesn't know. of course, he wouldn't. this shouldn't come as a surprise, as i'm sure y'all will agree.

^ that's his spokesman, abti. check this vid. he speaks. i could swear he speaks with an English accent. ;)

hi Hat, just chilling ninyahow, ma garatay? i'm trying to court this single mother i met last week. i also bought a new phone today....other than that all is good, abti. how are you doing? iga waraan London?

^ i don't pay tax. so add lack of tax revenues to your list, abti. i'm sick and tired of SL's failures being dressed up as successes thanks to Big Silaanyo's spin doctors and propaganda machine. inaar, meesha waxba lagu ma hayo, ma garatay? this Govt has failed miserably. this idea of we deserve runs deep through the psyche of SL. i'm sorry to say but SL doesn't deserve anything, including recognition. it's not working hard enough. it's happy to fail. it's content with the way things are.

Look at theyre soldiers they rag-tags with equipment from nearly a century ago abti, ONLY $200mn? that's disappointing walahi. only an increase of $26mn and a meagre 13%. if the budget was consistent with the astonishing economic growth in the private sector then it should've grown by 200% or something. Samaale is incompetent. he's useless and ought to be fired immediately. NOTHING impressive about $200mn. Taiwan has a lot more.

working from home. the internet connection at the office is not reliable anymore. :mad: so far very productive but we'll see.

^ thanks, bro. it's home, you know. there's nothing courageous about it though. as for durability, i've been durable.

^ yeah bro. it sure is a long time too. you know, i've seen so much here, i could write a small book about it. but really these diaspora folks are pathetic. they are disgusting and clearly under-qualified. i'm qualified you see, so maybe that's why i keep myself to myself, and don't bask in the glory of being spat out by the west.

reverse economic migration, maha? here in the nation's capital, it's not so much as taxi driving but any job with a desk. i'm one of those people but luckily i've been here for 5 years and 3 months, now. i have seen many of these qurbo-joog vultures come and go but it's time to be honest and say the house is FULL. we'd rather see no more of these diaspora folks. they're pathetic, walahi.

this reminds me of AT and one of his legendary observations whilst in Hargeisa....... ''the qurbo-joog who pretends to be a diaspora'' ;)

Nuune, abti, you're more than free to use this symbol of shame on your 1960's Russian Propeller jacbur aircrafts, ma garatay? :cool:;)

these clan conferences will be demise of the SL Republic. they're not very transparent, you know. they ought to be organised under the watchful eye of a newly created ministry called Wasaarada Hawlaha Guud ee Beelaha iyo Arrimaha Baahweynta Shacabka. in Turkey, the Directorate of Religious Affairs ensures Islam is strictly monitored. as the Director General of the ministry, i'd ensure all clan meetings are subjected to a list of stringent conditions including but not limited to... 1. agendas of clan gatherings must be submitted to a committee and permission must be granted (10 members of the same clan will NOT be allowed to meet. the Counter-Tribal Response Unit will be deployed and disrupt such meetings). 2. all Caqils, Chief Caqils and Suldans must disclose all tribal secrets. they must also submit their clan population figures on a bi-yearly basis. must also register internal clan hagbad/ayuuto financial schemes. 3. the promotion of clannish agendas through the production of any materials deemed anti-establishment will be dealt with HARSHLY and offenders sentenced. 4. a communique must be published of all meetings outlining key outcomes. 5. a regulatory framework established to build the capacity of clans to endorse the establishments agenda. 6. strict financial regulations measures against philantribal / Qurbo-Joogian contributions in the form of endowments, internal-intra-clan reconstruction efforts, tribal scholarships, discriminatory nepotism policies and other related forms of support deemed to benefit the collective will of a particular clan. 7. all land is owned by the government. populations will be mixed, forced to inter-marry, if necessary. ---------------- instead we have clandestine clan meetings where the Government is excluded. this is hardly surprising considering that the Kulmiye Regime also came to power after the Burco Conference in 2008/2009 for the B.H.
