  1. This was what I wrote, and I was not even thinking or talking about SL, but the Somali peninsula. Do you know the difference? I have got no patience for irrational twats.
  2. You are so bloody brain dead, you can not even read a simple sentence. Could you do us all a favour, and f@ck off back to the secessionist underground you have been squatting since Gooja Cadde, you uncouth arse.
  3. When the sovereignty and survival of the Somali people, irrespective of the region, is at stake, the Somali cause takes priority. For once in your sodding existence, leave the colonial legacy and borders to aside, and think as a legitimate son of Somali. Are you able to compartmentalise? I do not give a toss about local polities or politicking. Are you able to do that?
  4. Consider the following: Ethiopian interest in ports: Unification of the Horn of Africa Background: The modern Ethiopian Navy was established by Emperor Haile Selassie, with the assistance of the United Kingdom, in 1955 and had its Naval Headquarters in: - Massawa with presence in: - Assab - Dhalak Islands and - Asmara. From 1991, its navy started using Yemeni bases. Then Jabouti, but by 1996, its navy ceased to exist, but with commercial fleet using Massawa & Assab. That also ended after the 1998 war between Ethiopia & Eritrea. The grand plan: The plan, Mr Birhanemeskel said, was to push for the "unification of the Horn of Africa as an economic bloc and the navy is part of that project". 11 Ethiopia commercial ships in a "very volatile" Red Sea area where Ethiopia has other economic interests. Kenya, Somaliland and Djibouti as possible locations for bases. The Kenyan option Ethiopia agreed a deal with Kenya to facilitate the acquisition of land in the island of Lamu as part of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (Lapsset) project, a $24bn (£18bn) transport and infrastructure plan to link the two countries and their neighbours. The project was signed in 2012 but has been beset by funding delays and security problems in both countries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-44369382 Postscript: The Lamu port project mainly failed for lack of funding. Now how is Ethiopia, which is struggling to pay off interest on loans, and is strapped for cash going to fund construction of a new port? Without even considering the security ramifications, just thinks about the trade and economic implications said port shall have on trade at Jibouti and Berbera.
  5. The same is true in Baydhaba, Bosaso, and Xamar.
  6. The rational heads in SL are thinking along those lines, and understand the dangers of Abiy the wannabe emperor. Let us find and promote voices of the rational, and not the online numpties. I would agree, and observed the same in my last trip to Jigjiga. I was shocked when I attended a graduation event at Jigjiga university. Please let us not encourage the sick minds, the likes of XX in a conversation, they are lost causes. Some are now arguing SL should seek to join Ethiopia to shut up the Federal government. I have got family members, just like him, who argue out of spite, and would not blink an eye to sell off the whole of Somalia incl. SL for a day of recognition. Absolutely. There was an article where Abiy was making the case for Reunification of the Horn. I'll see if I could find it.
  7. According to sources within the Somali medical field in Dubai, Hassan had a medical operation for brain tumour in Dubai, reason for the long hair, beard, and facial blemishes. The shoulder sling is just a mask.
  8. Deni receives Presidential and VP candidates at villa Garowe. https://www.facebook.com/100032105483209/videos/1066261974618314
  9. Background: Kharkiv Pact of 1997 between Russia and Ukraine whereby Russia would lease naval facilities in Crimea to be extended beyond 2017 until 2042, with an additional five-year renewal option in exchange for a multiyear discounted contract to provide Ukraine with Russian natural gas. It would: - Enable Russia's Black Sea Fleet to remain in Ukrainian territory. - In turn, Russia would discount its natural gas at 100$ per thousand cubic metre (1 thousand cubic metre is 219,969.152 gallons) to Ukraine. About: Kharkiv Pact DBPEDIA.ORG The Agreement between Ukraine and Russia on the Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, widely... Subsequently, Russia: - Invaded Crimea in 2014, - Invaded Ukraine in 2022. - Terminated gas deal raising the price to 385$ per 1 thousand cubic metre. In 1990, Ukraine was the 3rd largest nuclear power in the world before it gave up its nuclear arsenal in 1994 under the Budapest Memorandum in return for a NATO, protection with US, UK and Russia as guarantors. - It had 5,000 nuclear arms on its soil. - 10 thermonuclear warheads in underground silos stronger than Hiroshima bomb; - Only US and Russia had greater nuclear arsenal. And today? Ukraine is pleading for its survival.
  10. Checkmate, let us see how he wriggles out of this one. It looks like Abiy is quite apt at jumping from one frying pan to another. If the Prosperity Party government deviates from this stance and recognizes Somaliland as a sovereign state, Ethiopia will be opening the proverbial “Pandora’s Box,” weakening its own legal position of opposing claims of self-determination in its own territory. For instance, if Somalia recognizes “Western Somalia” (one of the historical designations for an independent state in the current Somali region), Kenya recognizes Oromia, or Eritrea extends recognition to Tigray, Ethiopia will not be able to invoke a legal principle it violated impudently.

  11. Off to round # 3. Deni got 40, and Guled 17. It is between the two in round #3, and whomever gets more votes wins.
  12. Round # 1 results with top 3 going through to round #2 Deni 35 Guled 9 Huruuse 8 Asad 3 Faroole 2 Cawad 4 Abgaal 5
  13. Some can argue that Abiy must be suffering from some sort of temporary or permanent Amnesia or memory loss to think that he can dominate Somalis that occupy a land area of 1,092,925 km2, 3 times bigger than Oromia who, without a doubt, are the dominant group in East Africa. Has he forgotten that Somalia is not made of a 109 groups of different languages like Ethiopia. Which one these groups are individually comparable to Somalis? 1,090,925 km2 of Somali-Inhabited Land Separates Abiy’s Oromia from the Sea, Not a Strip Piece of Land WWW.DALJIR.COM Lately, Abiy Ahmed embarked on uncharted territory of trying to achieve what his predecessors could not achieve. In this...
  14. So much misinformation and lies, but then again, what else would one expect from secessionist sons of swine. Not a single one of the real estate assets he mentioned had been sold off or leased. The likes of Mogadishu port and airport are are being managed by Al Bayrak and Favori Turkish companies, and under contracts tendered, and renewed every few years - 5 years if I am not mistaken. Digfeer hospital is being managed by a charity under the Turkish Red Crescent the same way many general hospital in Somalia are supported by MSF, Doctors without Borders etc. Not even DP World deals with Berbera and Bosaso come close to what is being proposed: selling off land to foreign enemy, which already occupies Somali Galbeed.
  15. Faysal Roble advised Hasan Sh. Will he heed his wise council? A letter to @HassanSMohamud Thanks for kicking out the ambassador of Ethiopia who served the fascist regime in Addis. But more is expected from you: 1 Stop Ethiopian Airlines flying through any Somali airspace. 2. Stop the Chat importation and cut Addis' source of revenue. 3. Mobilize Somalis not to send their remittances through Ethiopia. 4. Find a way to kick out Somalia all illegally and non-Atmis army sent by Ababa. 5. Seek help from friendly countries to man your waters along the Red Sea. Many Somalis want you to go farther than what has been done so far. https://twitter.com/faisalroble19/status/1744076008557256910?s=20
  16. The race is moving into its final hours, and numbers are shifting as campaign managers are twitching as if suffering from temporary myoclonus. As of now, Deni and Cawad are projected as going through to the final round with Cawad winning. Adam Sheekh-doon is said to be the dark horse.
  17. The leader Awdal State Movement, Dr Ali Ibrahim Bahar add his voice to millions of Awdalites and Somali people. 'We call upon Somali Federal government to declare and recognise Awdal and SSC-Khatumo as Federal Member States'. https://twitter.com/AsmAwdal/status/1744031372711285088?s=20
  18. These ignorant motherf@ckers in borrowed suits are Oromo, and are dumb as a rock. The actually think their enemy is Somalia. One of them says 'they will use our port'. Why would they need to use your port if they have their own? What an effing numpties!
