I am praying for Imran Khan. Pakistan has been raped by a long line of dogs and thieves. It is time that country gets a proper leader.

The problem we have is that the Oromo barbarians are targeting the smaller Somali clans like the Garre in the border towns and villages. Given the total lack of cooperation and empathy between Somali clans due to our immediate past and the absence of a proper administration to speak for or protect Somalis inside Ethiopia, the killing and displacement might continue unabated.

I like how they bring together a few docent unemployed men, women, and some children to "welcome" every desperate politician.

I think he should be imprisoned for a while otherwise he will get out of control and drive us crazy.

I think they were not less educated but certainly there were fewer fake professors, doctors, engineers, caaqils, waxgarads, and generals at that time.

Absolutely. The Americans have an enormous soft power and dirty tricks in their cowboy hats which the dictator of Jabuuti under-estimated. Not only Djibouti but I think the whole of Africa will be a cold war battle ground once Trump is out of office and a more capable president takes over. The west will never let Africa join the Chinese sphere of influence.

"Jesus clan" it shall be

In their twisted mentality they probably think they can gain advantage over their rivals if the hostilities continue. In situations like this I can't help but wish for a ruthless dictatorship which tolerates no nonsense. I think Somalis should invite Bashar al Assad, Ayyatollah Khamonei, and Putin to add the Somali territories to their domain.

It seems some of the people involved in the conflict do not want peace.

Galbeedi you either doesn't know the history of Europe or you willfully ignore the fact that despite the Europeans sharing a lot of culture, language, royalty, and other similarities like the Somali and Oromo they have gone through countless conflicts and two world wars. So don't expect the Oromo to share your ill-informed views. We should do our best to solve our differences peacefully with them but we should let them know that we are not an easy target.

With a strategic location, fertile land, rich sea, and vast amount of natural resources the Somali people could be among the richest in the world but unfortunately we lack brains and a moral compass.

According to walawayn mentality Mogadishu is a city state like Singapore and not just a capital city. In their views all the progress made in Puntland in the last two decades does not count and does not represent Somalia. What happens in Mogadishu happens in Somalia and what happens in Puntland, Jubbaland, and other places happens on Mars.

I don't think cities like Boorama and Burco need airports of their own as they are close to Hargeisa. What they need are good roads linking them to the airport in Hargeisa and a reliable public transport system. However Ceergaabo, Laascaanood, and Saylac definitely need airports.

Despite our political differences and the occasional locking of horns, I do enjoy our Galbeedi's journalistic contributions (although his insider sources are as non-existent as the personalities behind the folklore characters of dhagdheer and cigaal shidaad)

That is what I said. They would not allow him to attend. They considered him treasonous.

Faysal exposed himself as a traitor and basaas so should be investigated by the police. I am glad he was denied entry for the Gacanlibaax conference. His tol saw him as an unreliable calooshiisa ushaqayste

Taa waan kugu raacsanay

I am of the same opinion

This is what happens when you have too many so called ministers without portfolios just to fill clan quotas. By the way, what is "wasiirul dawli"? Never heard of it before!!!

I think some 50% of Somali territories is already in foreign hands and is being exploited by our rivals as we speak. So to say Somalis are capable of uniting or defending their lands and interests is making a mockery of our tragic past and present.

If I were a Somali in Ethiopia I wouldn't share a cup of water with the Oromo Neanderthals let alone oil wealth. Kililka should declare independence using the constitution ASAP.

It is better than nothing, isn't it? Your question should be: will it remain there for a day?

It is sad that Somalis across the Horn of Africa are destitute yet our lands and sea are teaming with natural wealth and are being exploited by others. Instead of fighting over grazing lands and meagre UN aid donations, if Somalis shared these natural resources with equity every bloody Somali on earth would be quite wealthy and comfortable.

I don't have an insider knowledge about this issue but since ina Biixi's inauguration I sensed the politicians from Sool including professor Khaliif have been pushing for the take over of the remaining territories from Puntland. I think they want to deprive the Sool politicians in Garowe of any legitimacy.
