You are trying to adorn lipstick on fat pigs, agagas the lot of them, by the way, where is Jamal Cali Xuseen? Now, there is a man you could bank on along with C/Qadir Jirde. I thought these two ladies ( Fatima Saciid & Rooda Cabdi ) had a future, but unfortunately of late, there are just Edna in the making.

Yes, that is him. He was the executioner for Gen. Caydiid, and carried out massacres in many regions incl. Mudug, J Hoose, Sh Hoose, and Bay.

"Unless there is consensus, and political fissure is agreed upon" When even deadly warlords seem more sensible, could see wherein lies the rub, and speak the truth more than XSM.

I do not think they realise how modern technology inverted the criminal profession where even common criminals are wary of being caught on camera; one would have thought the likes of Bixiye, ina Kahin, Taani etc. would be conscious enough as to the severity of their criminality in shelling innocent civilians, as it was broadcast on live feeds. But then again it is not like they have got conscious, or would acknowledge the atrocities they inflicted upon innocent civilians, let alone its criminality. Even XX continues to deny any atrocities being committed in Las Anod even after videos of gory images and group burials had been presented. I do not know if you have seen A Terra's documentary earlier (mind you, he is reer Hargeysa, lest XX accuses him of being Siyaad Barre Supporter). It is very harrowing to say the least.

Was he this judicious, deliberative, receptive, cognisant, and reflective when he was at Villa Xamar? he is making sense.

Can Somalia win its war against al-Shabab? | UpFront
Illyria replied to Xaaji Xunjuf's topic in Politics
AS retakes Bacaadweyne, Camaara, and Shabeelow. Balcad & Cadale feared to be next. If accurate, then it is as predicted. https://fb.watch/qLGJ9GAwd-/ --------------------------------------------- Hudson institute, a DoD outlet released its September report. Its conclusion: Consequently, the situation looks less promising than it did at the end of 2022, and al-Shabaab is unlikely to face a meaningful defeat in the coming months. Instead, the best-case scenario would see this military offensive degrade al-Shabaab over the coming months to the point that the terrorist organization partially fractures and loses some of its popular support, possibly opening up room for the FGS to negotiate with factions of the group. A more likely scenario, however, would see the conflict remain a stalemate, with the government’s current offensive bringing only temporary or superficial gains that do not meaningfully degrade al-Shabaab’s capacity. Given the improbability of a decisive military victory in the coming months or even years, the previously taboo notion of negotiating with the terrorists has gained traction in certain Somali political circles of late. President Hassan Sheikh has even oscillated between claiming that the objective of the current offensive is al-Shabaab’s complete battlefield defeat and claiming that the offensive aims to push the group into negotiations. [ ] In principle there is no reason to prefer an endless and fitful counterinsurgency to negotiations, but in practice it would be difficult to secure anything like an acceptable compromise at this stage. Some Somali security sources with knowledge of the group suggested that while al-Shabaab might enter negotiations with international powers, such as the US and Turkey (likely with mediation by Qatar, whose role in Somalia has proven controversial), it has no interest in speaking to the Somali government, which it sees as illegitimate and weak. [ ] At present this looks to be the best-case scenario, though unfortunately not the most likely one. But policymakers would do well to consider scenarios that might be acceptable to their interests rather than buy into unrealistic claims about the impending defeat of Africa’s most powerful jihadist group. https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.hudson.org/Faltering+Lion+-+James+Barnett+Sep+2023.pdf -
Next Ethiopian War: Eritrea/Amhara vs Tigray/Abiy
Illyria replied to Che -Guevara's topic in Politics
With its main three States (Tigray, Amhara, and Oromo (less extent) ) on fire, and roadblocks popping up outside of Addis, how does Abiy plan to wriggle out of this inferno? I can not wait for the whole bloody thing to blow up in his spotty face. -
In the old days when Somali media used to be informative with heavyweights at its helm. M Xarbi's role discussed. Literature alone by the likes of Qarshe, Naaji etc is on a different level. (correction: I initially thought this was the BBC).

So, victims even when they are the transgressors? Are they being serious? Instead of hiding their criminal enterprise, they are openly brandishing the picture of a murderer seeking revenge in foreign capitals? How come no one, other than Bixiye, speaks of or campaigns for the highest prized prisoner, the army intel chief, Gadhka Yogolka?

I once had a conversation with the late abu Xadra (Hadraawi) about politics, democracy, and elections in SL, and he laughed and said: "we are a long, long way away from home".

Is that Zaynab Cige or Nicma Yasin?
