He spoke the truth.

Waar ninka Daily Mail ha ku noqon

Waa dadka uu ilaahay inoogu sheegay quraanka uu yidhi qalbigooda ayuu ka saaray taqwa ama Alla ka cabsi. Sidaas ayaanay ahaanayaan ilaa inta uu malakul mawdku kusoo degayo oo buugooda xisaabta la xidhayo. Alle kuwaa sharkooda ha inaga fogeeyo.

This is shocking, unacceptable, xaaraam, and goes against our age old culture. Somalis should never behave like the savages whatsoever happens to us in other places. Subxaanallah

Indeed!! Galbeedi got this right

Samafal is saying:

Oo sootaydu ku sheegtaan Farmaajo inuu yahay madaxwaynaha "umadda Soomaaliyeed". Safiirka Jabuuti Mogadisho u fadhiya umaddaa Soomaaliyeed ayay ka mid yahay ee u adkaysta marka uu protocolka daaqada ka tuuro oo uu arimihiina soo fara galiyo ama uu madaxwaynaha "Umadda Soomaaliyeed" dhegaha ka tumo.

I agree. There is no point of changing a recognised brand name for the region and its fighters. Everyone knows Somalis of all clans live in the region but the name Ogadenia was used by the colonial powers.

I hope the ONLF reforms their organisation and starts acting like a proper political party which can gain support from every clan. Somalis in Ethiopia urgently need unity and discipline.

Caaqil Oodwayne your book is timely as even our president is attempting to rewrite history to appease a part of our community. During the kacaan era a certain spoiler of Somaliland's peace was portrayed as a "freedom fighter" when in fact he was fighting for anything but freedom and as reported by popular history the cause of his mischief was the influence of whatever liquid he used to take in his "wayso". Laakiin Alle ha u naxariisto wuxuu ahaa nin Muslim ah.

Quran alone Islam is the answer.

Welcome back caaqil. How was your extended Ramadan break from politicking?

Did anyone claim responsibility for this attack? And why Buuhoodle?

Why do you hate a masiixi when he and you (out of control sufi) share the same culture of grave worship?

Now we need to see real and painful consequences for anyone guilty of breaking the peace agreement. Inshaallah it will last.

Haddii garoonkii diyaaradaha Gaalkacayo lagu heshiin waayay ma dekeda Hobyo ayaa lagu heshiinayaa? Haddii meesha wax is afgaradi jirin waa inay qolo waliba tuuladeeda gaar u dhisato. Anyway, I see a great potential for the two ports. Puntland should just build a wooden platform in Garacad and tie a wrecked boat there then let the UAE know that the damn Qataris want to take over their world class port. The Emiratis will ask for a thirty year lease in exchange for investment. In the same way the HAGs should build a tiny wooden platform in Hobyo and crowd the place with pirated fishing boats then tell the SFG to alert the Qataris that the Jeegaan of the Gulf i.e the Saudis and Emiratis are encroaching into their sphere of influence. A healthy deal will follow such a baaq for gurmad.

For walawayn the bloodshed started only when it reached their homes. Kulahaa sodon sanno KUDHAWAAD!! Of course he is starting the count from 1991 and yet he has the audacity to tell people whose dark history he is completely ignoring: "midnimadu waa muqadas". Taloow midnimadee ayaa muqadas ah, ma tan cusub ee Mr Cheese iyo tyrant Isaias Afwerki??

Siyaabo badan oo dhiiga bani aadamka loo qubo ayaa jira. Farmaajo isagu qori ma qaadan laakiin waxuu isticmaalay qalin oo uu dad badan ku xasuuqay.

And who is that masochist?

That is harsh. Leave the gentle intellectual alone. He is more civil than most Somali politicians including the one he is with in the photos.

Waar meesha qabyaalad cidi kamay hadlin ee is deji.

It looks like he visited a foreign country. All the attention hungry Somali politicians are treated like that by the ignorant masses. This is what it looks like when real leaders visit places in their country. https://goo.gl/images/fo4hct

I wish I knew a way out this headache but given man's disposition to migrate to where the grass is greener, koonfuria should not look like a bigger Somaliland with all its problems of tribalism, nepotism, corruption, etc. Instead the clans in koonfuria should reconcile in earnest and fight corruption and nepotism. Also the federal system we have got now should be reformed as it is ineffective and the federal powers transferred to the member states. The current clan fiefdoms should be demolished and the previous eighteen states reinstalled. Power should then be transferred from the centre to the states in the following way: 1. The eighteen leaders of the member states should be directly elected by the public of their respective states and should form an Executive Committee for the nation. Any Somali of any clan should be able to vote in any state election or run for any office in any member state given proof of residence. 2. The office of the president should be abolished and the prime minister chosen by the leaders of the member states (the Executive Committee) by a unanimous vote. The nation's Head of State should be a permanent Sultan from the Gabooye community. He should be chosen by his clan. The Head of State should be responsible for representing the country abroad, mediating between the politicians, dismissing corrupt governments, and being a father figure to the nation. 3. All the cabinet ministers should also be chosen by the Executive Committee again by a unanimous vote. 4. Members of the Supreme Court should be elected by the country's religious scholars and other reputable members of the society and the Supreme Court should be completely independent of the Executive Committee. 5. Each member state should have an elected Parliament proportional to the population of the state and from these state parliaments committees again proportional to the size of the state selected to join the Federal Parliament. 6. The Upper House or Guurti should be the clan leaders and should be directly elected by their clansmen. Again the number of clan elders should match the population of the clan they represent. The role of the Guurti should be advisory. This is my idea but let me know if you think it is unworkable or unsuitable.

I agree
