Well put, From what I gather, it appears Pres. Xassan Miskiin is bent on creating his own version of reality in Jubba region, instead of focusing Xamar which is still a basket case, he has no idea what he is getting into.

So XX is faysal waraabe of SOL miyaa - scared of the blue flag and the stability of Somalia...

Obama looked like he didn't want be there, he was bit arrogant and dismissive. Perhaps, his Kenyan Luo tribe instincts kicked in.

Highly qualified man with a solid practical economics background, if he becomes a PM its a win for Somalia.

Now that Turkish civilians have been killed in their own soil. Turkey shouldn't wait for NATO's article procedures, they need to get on with it and decapitating this regime in Damascus.

^^ Hoax news - I am not buying this, unless I see Faroole threatening everyone else's grave by yelling "Hadaan lafahaas la soo calin, Qabriyada dadka kale tan ku dhacdo waad arki doontaan"

Abtigiis what is up with you today? wax iskula har ina adeer waa ceeb inaad saas reer dhan sharaftood uga dhacdid. That is all I am saying in this. @Macallinka, Relax sxb - AT calling curtain clan savages and murders, doesn’t make it so. After all, it’s his own that does enough of that to its own in the . What he is arguing, I think, is that his ‘long foot’ kin should have big share of any Jubaland administration that is to come. Reer Gedo have huge stake in Kismayo and its surroundings and they will play a key role of Jubaland region. That said, for a genuine peace and coexistence to return in that precious region the clan has to play a prominent role. If anyone ever been to the Jubbada-hoose, as I have been, the undeniable fact is that those key villages and towns like Badhaadhe, Jamaame and of course Afmadoow as well as the grazing lands of Xagar are overwhelming inhabited by the clan. There are others, minority clans of course, but is a big factor in those outlining areas, and thus should get at minimum the governorship of the future state in my opinion. who gets the Jubaland president is different matter altogether. If, however, this Azania sect which has the advantage now with Yussuf Mohamed Haji in Nairobi and Raaskambooni forces who are arm to the tooth, believe with impunity they can proclaim ‘Awoowgood lagub, Reer Gedo haka baxeen jubooyinka’ they are in it for a rude awakening. As for for Reer caanoole, they are doing fine for themselves in Puntland, May they keep on prospering in Puntland:D

Being female and a Muslim could have been a double-whammy joining the Army, whose population is historically comprised mostly of men and soldiers that believe in some form of Christianity – but surprisingly, the discrimination she experienced in the civilian world was much worse than what she’s experienced as a soldier . Article is a symbolic of typical recruiter’s fairy tale; An immigrant leaves her old decadence and squalor in Africa to become a true patriot. But, why profile Xaliiimo…didn’t see that coming.

^- can we all get along - rodney king moment for this thread

Ama lughay ama leghay, indeed.

Very good idea. They should make it a weekly open mic, call it 'The state of the Parliament'

D/P

A bit of lawlessness, not sure the exact numbers but few prominent individuals were shot dead by an unknown assailants...AUN. Those looting were confined mostly to the shabaab bases. The city is now surrounded by AU / Somali army on the Jamaame side and KDF / Ras Kamboni forces on the Afmadow side.....

Latest: Shabaabs entirely abandoned city before dawn, headed the road towards Afmadoow. May be a tactic to lure in Kenyans or it could be their usual cowardly manner to flee when they are contested by a real foe. Not a single civilian hurt or property damaged. Kenyans haven’t moved in to town yet….

@Mooge - the city and region are at behest of foreign invasion and yet you start this none-sense of reer Caanoole and reer caluula…..Wax isku fal & Pray for the civilians whoever they may be… Update: no gun shots, every thing is quite now......civilians aren't fleeing yet which is a good sign...

Mooge;875023 wrote: caanoole community which controls businesses and is the largest indegeneous community in Kismayo, already - waa bilaabatay miyaa? I assure you this is not Qardho sxb... Update: Shaab still under control...

Not yet... The fighting is at the outskirts - shaabaab are still in full control of the city. good news is not a single civilian has been harm, so far.

So this profile piece suppose show her human side miyaa? - when she finds out there is no *land in the tittle, her toxic anger will re-ignite again.

This ridiculous habit is not limited to only SOLers as it is evident in the wider Somali community. Its a sort of pervasive gossip culture that grown men spend all day talking about while their brethren are abused. well said!!

His is a vagrant politics that is of a lower caliber, but politics finding currency and fertile ground in deprived settlements and among depressed people. That is not the problem. Somalia’s new leaders will have to cater to the needs of these depressed people. But that doesn’t mean these leaders have to embrace desperate politics to address the needs of desperate people. And here is where Farmajo’s IDP politics merits no paean. All of that, because of these unsubstantiated tabloid charges that Farmaajo’s political fortunes are solely based with these fictional and fictitious stories in cunning glue sniffing street kids and your absurdity reference of a UN tagged exploitation term ‘IDP’ to the poor citizens in-and-around banadir. He has no identifiable base in the capital, and yet is faulted for receiving the adulation and the support of its poor; a juvenile logic permits this as deliberately political tactic.

I for one say, well done Prof A-wail, for representing Somalia at this crucial period. He is doing a great job, does everything has to revolve around clannish politics in here?. Come next year's UN general assembly meeting - I just expect GD to post pics of the NEW pm at the helm
