The difference I see is he's more diplomatic and intelligent in his approach and more polished and that is about it. Doesn't mean he will proove to be a credible partner, we don't know that yet. Please don't fall in the trap that plagues most somalis everywhere, they like to run before they crawl and jump to unfounded conclusions. Let's not jump the gun here. Lander, its a real pity that you cant see a diffrence between the vieuwpoints and intentions of Madaxweyne Xasan Sheick Maxamuud and previous TFG leaders. I can assure you there is a clear diffrence in terms of content, vision, tone, intelligence and most of all intention. And that is a good starting point. Waxan ku leeyahay inadeer indhaha iyo degaha furo, wakhtigii wuu is bedelee. P.S. I shall await Mintid Farayare's reaction as well. For sure he most be shocked by this departure from previous standpoints.

Xaaji Xunjuf;869823 wrote: The new president of Somalia spoke well about the talks between Somalia & Somaliland. He showed maturity and understanding what is at stake. You can read his interview with VOA or listen to it below. Since February Hasan Sheikh Mohamud has addressed the issue of Somalia and Somaliland 3 times and has said the following: 1. Inside Story on Aljazeera he said: Somaliland and Somalia will need to renegotiate the 1960 union. 2. Campaign Speech for Presidency he said: He will continue the Somaliland and Somalia talks and will not attempt to use military might or diplomatic pressure to achieve unity. 3. In the below interview with the VOA he said: a) He will make sure steer clear from anything that can become a roadblock to these talks. b) He wants unity to come through negotiation and further talks c) He introduces the possibility that there may not be a union when he says “ Hadiiba aan midowno”. This is a major departure from the script for a politician from Somalia. d) He wants unity that is structured that has a solid foundation and does not want the same kind of unity that happened in 1960 where after years of being united conflict erupted. Basically he doesn’t want unity just for unity’s sake. Underlining his above point of recognizing there may not be a union. Over all I was very much impressed with his interview. VOA: Wadahadaladii lala bilaabay Somaliland ma qorshihii hore ee loo dejiyey ayaad raacaysaa mise hindise iyo istratiji cusub ayaad ku qaabilaysaa? Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud: Ilaa iyo hadda inta aan ognahay waxa ay tahay wadahadaladaasi waa bilow. Aad iyo aad ayaan u soo dhoweynaynaa. Aad aan raali uga nahay, ugu faraxsanahay. Waxan leenahay labaatan sano, dhowr iyo labaatan sano ka dib in ay hada bilaabatay fursad lagu wada hadlo Maamulkaa Somaliland ka jira halkaa. Waxaan leenahay Dowlada Somaliland anagu in aan la fadhiisano aad iyo aad wada hadalkii bilawday meeshii uu ka bilawday waa laga dhaqaajinayaa. Si fiican ayaa looga dhaqaajinayaa. Xanaf iyo xasaasiyaad iyo wixii carqalad ku noqon karo oo dhan ayaan ka doonaynaa. Aad iyo aad ayey muhiimad noogu tahay oon in dalka midnimadiisa la helo. Lakiin midnimada ma doonayno in ay caadifad iyo emotions iyo lab la kac ku timaado ma doonayno. Xoog in ay ku timaado ma rabno ama xoog milatari ha ahaado ama xoog dhiblomaasiyeed ha ahaado oo beesha caalamka inta loo adeegsado Somaliland lagu khasbo waxna ma doonayno. Midnimo laga wada hadlay oo maxaan ku idhaahdaayeey rukumo ad adag loo dhigay ayaan rabnaa. Anagu hore ayaan u sii soconaa oo waxyaabaha tiirarka ah ee asaasiga ah ee lagu hishiiyo xitaa waxaan rabaa mustaqbalka in lagu daro manjahka waxbarashada si jiilasha cusub ee Soomaalida ahi ay u ogaadaan wixii lagu midoobay iyo in ay muqadisaad in ay yihiin oo in la ilaaliyo ay tahay. Si aanay u dhicin sodon sano afartan sano kale markaan dowlad ahaano hadiiba aan midowno markaan dowlad ahaano ka dib hadana aanan isigu dhicin oonan u kicin. Lakiin aniga dowladaan madaxda ka ahay ee midnimadu waa noo muhiim waana waxay noo tahay wax aan yacni option kale ama dookh kale oon ahayn dalka in la mideeyo ma qabno. Lakiin hadana sidaas wadadaas aan rabnaa in lagu mideeyee ama wadadii shalay lagu midooboo sodon sano markii mid la ahaa ka dib la isku dilay ma doonayno in dib loo qaado . The most well thought idea about re-negoitiating the Union and creating a strong fundement for the future generations. Madaxweyne Xasan Sheick Maxamuud si fiican ayuu u oogsanyahay what is at stake, fikirkiisuna si fiican ayuu u diyaar gareysan yajay. Ilaahay ha garab galo oo ha ku guuleeysto shaqada sugisaa. Noolow Madaxweyene, Noolow! Amiin.

I am waiting for MMA endorsement of this idea, adressing the public in Maay Maay. You know George W Bush did the same in Spanish.

You will see, the day the South gets a proper government, expect the message you see in this video not in a youtube but thousands marching in Borama, Las Anod, Buuhoodle, Badhan etc. It is why I always say SL need to come up with a fast solution or risk an internal implosion. Edit: - The maid in this house who just overheard this youtube message insults the Awdalites: "Iyagoo SL ah ayey hadana somaliya doonayaan *baas*tariin****tani" This close relative of Faysal Ali Waraabe says. She adds "...iyaguba way na laayeen barigii siyaad barre ee waanu iska saamaxnay". There it goes. If the Awdalites look south, they will become the enemy! Abtigiis, your post is full of contradictions. On the one hand you are saying the public attitude in SL towards Somalia is changing(which I confirmed). And now you are saying the masses in Badhan and Borama will march for a Union? How about those in Berbera and Balidhiig? Why are you seperating the two?

Anyone knows how this dance is called? it seems to originate from Hiiraan?

This dance is called Beerey, its inspired from the "Goronyada'. It originates from Kismaayo.

Is that Che in the red shirt, 2.13min.

Caadi maha heestaan. waa dance music caadi ah.
