It is the ridiculous two and a half rule for clan federalism that is driving the garaad community crazy. It could have been a lot easier if each original state was made a federal member.

That is not true and you know it. It is the Garaad community who refused all calls for peace and coexistence in Sanaag, and is fully responsible for all this chaos.

Clan federalism was always going to an unworkable arrangement for a Somali state. If the state is to survive, there needs to be a new constitution and new federal states which crisscross and divide clan territories, where everyone regardless of clan affliarion has the right to vote or run for political office.

Che, there is nothing to worry about. All you guys need to do now is to show the new government in Hargeisa that there is absolutely nothing in this deal for them. If the new guys in Hargeisa have any commonsense, they will now ditch the whole damn thing. Let Abby look elsewhere for access.

As long as there is a lack of accountability, no system of government will ever be followed.

Yes it is going to be difficult to go after any corrupt Kulmiye politician when Cirro himself is surrounded by looters from past administrations. It is a demoralising reality but let's hope no more looting of public money takes place in the coming months and years inshaallah.

I heard that some thugs opened fire right in the middle of a busy market!! The callousness of some people is bewildering.

I think Cirro should start with a complete audit of the Kulmiye government's financial dealings and any irregularities which can not be explained logically should be brought to the courts for recovery of the stollen funds and the prosecution of the culprits.

The MOU is never beneficial to Somaliland and must be ditched completely. Ethiopia can make use of Berbera for their logistics, but a sea access with a land bridge is utterly insane to even consider.

His mandate is NOT seven years. Don't normalise this nasty political fraud. He must break this cycle of chaos and hold all the upcoming elections on time.

Alle ha u naxariisto marxuumka. Now he is with his Master for judgement.

Every society on earth has some kind of problems, and we are no exception. However, the vast majority of our "problems" are a mixture of perceived problems, fake problems, and manufactured ones. All these fantom problems can be vanquished if we somehow find a group of strong, determined, honest, and principled leaders.

This is entirely a locally developed air defense system. Kudos to Iran.

It seems to me that he is expecting a major attack coming their way. Do you have any information about the plans of the Canfar forces or the intentions of the federal government?

The guy right to say that we have got no bigger enemy than Ina Biixi himself. Somaliland's salvation is dependent on his permanent departure from our public life.

This is an amazing achievement, mashaallah. What will the Oromo controlled Federal government do now? If the xabashi army starts to attack the Somali fighters, I think the Jigjiga government should make it clear to Abiy Axmad that if they continue with their injustices and aggression, the Somali state will declare independence and expel every xabashi from the region. With Djibouti and Somalia on their side now, the Somali state is actually in a strong position to defend itself well.

The reasons for unity or separation shouldn't be based on the behaviour of individual politicians. Politicians whether they are good or bad will always come and go, but our society will remain. Today the our people may have precious few capable leaders or honourable politicians, but in the future our situation might be radically different. God is the one who is in control of events, and He can change our situation for the better.

Only the fools would want to live under a corrupt, oppressive, and divisive tyranny recognised and legitimised by the UN. So, recognition isn't more important than elections.

Xaaji beenta iyo khiyaanadu waa danbi ilaahay necebyahay. Fadlan ha noqon sida yuhuuda beenta iyo khiyaanada caado ka dhigatay. Wixii dhacay ee ay dawlad ku sheegani samaysay waa wax ay dunida oo dhani ogtahay. Hadda uma baahnin shar kale oo shayaadiinta ina haysataa ay bilowdo, taana ha ku taageerin oo haku aakhiro seegin.

I think HSM and his family are going to be like those hated but ever present and persistent Pakistani political dynasties.

Did he give up on Saylac?

I don't know whether international recognition for SL is good or bad for us at this stage, so I take a position of neutrality.

If this is true, it is actually far worst for the Somali Republic's unity and national interest. Odinga is a long time supporter of Somaliland's recognition.

Don't be surprised when the West start taking about legalising genocide just to protect their zionist masters.

I think Obama was given a gentle reminder of Nixon when the guy took his title and office seriously.
