You rise through the ranks thanks to charisma not by brute force; you're not a member of a Stalinist party. You also want to be loved and feared not just feared. interesting and sound advice there Apo. i agree i might have to rethink my 'soviet-era' big manism LOL. can you expand on ''You also want to be loved and feared not just feared.'' and give tangible examples? it seems a little inconsistent to me.

^ lads (not sure if adeer NGONGE qualifies as a lad LOL), claim down and stop personalise just trivial matters.

i won't lie and tell you such thoughts haven't crossed my mind but i want to stay within the realms of normalcy. i do have aspirations to be a political leader someday. before then i want to prepare myself so that my enemies are defeated and silenced. having said that, i do believe power is an infatuation of the many but an authority only enjoyed by a few. 'real power' can only be derived from fear. whether i'm within this select few so far has not been confirmed in my visions.

i'm all for female emancipation but i can see the logic of this policy as it's in the best interest of the woman. tracking pets has the same benefits because you are made aware in case your pet gets lost or mysteriously wanders around. the use of technology makes the saudi's that bit more sinister in their approaches but at least the woman can be monitored for movements that may in the end be the difference between being alive and being killed in an honour killing and buried in the back yard - although that may also mean a dead wife is also an obedient wife. saudi arabia already has draconian policies towards women but the monitoring of woman already happens in western societies in the form of; 1. hiring a Private Investigator 2. hacking into your wife's web activities 3. prying into a woman's bedroom and heading straight for the draw containing undergarments 4. voyeur type activities 5. stalking

LOL@APO, ever heard of the expression ; asset rich, cash poor?

inaadeero, do these polls provide the best indicator of how things will go after wednesday?

election fever in SL.....its going mad. i'm working with the estonian team.

LOL@inaadeero, you can't imagine the number of Kulmiye candidates who have the acronym Muj before their names on their campaign posters. this party of senile ex-soviet trained guerilla warfare SNMers are practically out of touch. the somaliland some of them allegedly 'liberated' has changed and with such changes comes new thinking and policies. 65% of somalilanders are under the age of 30. people do not need to hear stories of conquest but desperately want JOBS, SECURITY, SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT and JUSTICE. the cronies/investors of kulmiye are being rewarded for their allegiance! the disparities between the rich and poor continues to grown on a monthly basis. press freedoms are being curtailed. our democratic values are being abused. our national aspirations have been held hostage to outside interests.

XX is out of touch and his legendary commentary on Somaliland politics have long ago passed its sell-by date. XX is still peddling the victim mentality of kulmiye in previous years as though its still in opposition. kulmiye have failed to deliver and NO longer the party of choice. everywhere across Somaliland the tide of change is apparent and all demographic groups are looking to the leader of the future to restore hope. Jamal Ali Hussein the popular leader of UCID is loved by all. XX, can you tell us why Silanyo goes to London once every 3 months? the chevening declaration and Somaliland-somalia conference season is over! is it because this old man has his tri-monthly diapers replaced at Guys Hospital. this senile dementia-suffering crook with his two henchmen (hersi and mohamed abdulahi omar) and their thuggary are ruining the country. some alleged he died last year! that makes the length between meles's death and its belatedly announcement seem less choreographed.

i don't need to speak jarmal to denote that an incident like this is unlikely to ever happen again LOL. adeer Abwaan, why this particular time and incident in history? why look back when you can look forward? how old were you in 1977?

Apo, you saying i'm either paranoid or powerdoon? LOL. what was your favourite law from the 48 laws of power? do you have any further recommended readings for paranoid people? can you give me an basic analysis of my enemy test and find flaws in it?

yes but found it very abstract but the 48 laws of power was better, i felt. see below for my enemey test ---------------- All people are at time or another time your enemy. Everyone must be seen as a potential enemy intent on your destruction. Putting aside the niceties and pleasantries YOU must watch your back for people deliberately or cleverly undermining your every word and action. The test is composed of 3 elements. PART 1: ***Progressive Liability (Positives outweigh their negatives) ***Regressive Liability (negatives outweigh their positives) Most people fall into this category – naturally people don’t have bad intentions but these people are in effect the most dangerous enemy given their propensity to slowly drain your energy. PART 2: ***Conspirator The main indicator of this enemy is that they have an ‘evil mind’ to undermine ones authority. This evil mind has developed against an action that you have taken. This action has caused them to react as though you have personally offended them. Some are cunning and keep their hatred of you hidden and others overtly try to amass public opinion against you by employing people like the collaborators. The main indicator of the conspirator is that their evil mind must transpire into action. Without action they are a still a liability. ***Collaborator– They collaborate with the conspirator to undermine your authority. They are zombies who have no thought or opinion of their own. They usually work under the control of the conspirators and who commands their attacks against you. PART 3: ***Declared Enemy – This is the worst form of enemy. Communication has been severed and you are exposed to attacks from them. Very unpredictable enemy. ***Undeclared enemy – this is the diplomatic enemy. Down deep they harbour hatred beyond words for you but are very diplomatic in their methods and dealings with you. This is a developed form of the conspirator after their intentions have transpired into action. Depending on the way you respond to their ‘action’ they either become a declared enemy or undeclared enemy. There is a line of communication but the tension is all too clear to see. ***Neutralised enemy – Formerly a declared enemy who has been brought back from the cold and communication now exists. Still categorised as an enemy. They have the privilege of going back to being liability and are afforded a special status as neutralised enemy. Any attempt to undermine you and they automatically become a declared enemy.

Apo, ignoring wyre and his tangential digressions LOL....... what is power? how is it ascertained? how important is the distribution of power relations/dynamics in any society all things been equal.

no one is underestimating kulmiye but they got their tactics all wrong. silanyo has made strategic errors of the worst kind and i wouldn't be surprised if the xisbul xakim doesnt make it this time round. the big voting blocks are in the western regions - awdal and gabiely, the central regions in hargeisa and berbera, and eastern regions in burao. they don't have the votes of these important blocks. even within hargeisa kulmiye can be said to have only jigjiga yar secured.

^ XX, naga da dee the over-xayeeysin of kulmiye and its proxy parties. we all know that kulmiye is using wadani and xaqsoor to reach its ultimate aims of maintaining power. horta, what exactly does wadani and xaqsoor stand for? please tell me? a deal was signed between ciro and silanyo in djibouti earlier this year that would ensure that kulmiye would assume power once more and that wadani/xaqsoor and its hierarchy would leave their parties to join kulmiye and fill top the top positions once muse bixii is eliminated. kulmiye is using wadani and xaqsoor as proxies...such is the level of political mature of somaliland, these days.... also with kulmiye losing the support of reer boroma and ucid taking the strategic gabiley and large parts of hargeisa and RAYS sweeping kulmiye's traditional support base in burao and erigavo. what hope does the xisbul xakim have?

What part of the world baad niyow ka soo warantaa horta ?? ,,,,, i know you're campaigning for kulmiye but surely as a journalist you should maintain neutrality in this frenzy.

today xaqsoor was campaigning and there was a fight around the calamadaha - sinai area between ucid party zealots of and the local arab clan supporters of xaqsoor. fighting was fierce and it was said that ucid party supporters felt that xaqsoor party supporters overstepped their boundaries in the areas they campaigned. the ucid party members have a thousand year history of colonising the xaqsoor party members. with xaqsoor being tipped to win, what policy do they have in store for faisal's clan members.

LOOOL.

LOL@Apo, so this morning i didn't go to work as required. what's the point when the start of the week is a Monday. anyways to salvage what remained of the day i walked from my house to jigjiga yar to safari road then to the road to summertime and bar guleed and walked up the hill to my house. all this during the least advisable part of the day at 11am-2:30pm when the sun was at its zenith LOL. anyways along the way i got shape-up at the barbers and visited one of those European style supermarkets to buy some much needed toiletries. i felt good, physically active and quite proud of myself ruunti. how was your day?

what nonsense JB. if he was diaspora then he would've written his message in English or another foreign language. LOOOL

these days i'm slacking and lacking purpose. i don't why but i've let my hands off the wheel, as it were. any ideas and solutions to get back into routine? i'm usually a pro-active person but this new slacking is new to me!!!
