Che, Chocolate is the right word. Thanks for fixing my crude language to describe the D block. I also hope that my HAG friends will forgive me for the harsh language, yet I hope everyone understands that I have no malice intent. of course the inclusion is that Somalis needs to prosper these days. Having said that , my separatist friends have always guns blazing for a fight. Jamuuriyadii Hadaan u Dayana I dayn Maayaan. Miyaad iska Qayishan oo 150 millions ee Miisaaniyada ah Iska Qaybsataan. You guys are satisfied ruling few towns while the Horn of Africa is at play. On the other hand , lately you guys have been speaking for the defence of Somalis Against Oromo which is a good change from the previous “ Ahmaardu was Walaalahayo Iyo Wiilka Addis ku Dhashay Ayaa iga Xiga Kan Muqdisho Ku Dhashay. Folks, I trace my ancestors to the 13th century Adal empire, the Biyamaal Sultanate that ruled Southern Somalia and waged war for twenty years against the Italians. My Ugaas who is in Ottawa , traces his throne from 1603 in Zaylac.The Wabar thing you keep referring is just a firework or larger plan to gain a foothold. I am not satisfied ruling few towns in Awdal or even Hargeisa and Burco. I want to rule the horn if Africa and reconstruct the land fragmented by the colonial powers. You are probably right that Farmaajo is not up to the task and he is secluded to a green zone in Mogadishu, but if there is a war between him and Cumar Ghelle, I will definitely side with Farmaajo. That fat despot who turned Djibouti in to a brothel and the play grounds of ithe entire world’s navies must be over thrown. Djibouti was stolen by the French with permission of Siyad Barre. It must be brought back , but first we must get rid of this Ghelle, and if Eritrea has some plans to put him out Iofvbusiness , I join and will go to Asmara. I am not tribal. Somalis love to cover stealing and breaking the law and later accuse them for tribal reasons. The tribe is just a cover to break the law and enrich yourself, all you need is to enforce the law and all these things might disappear. Xaaji we the D...r want to bring law and order for Somalis every where. Who knows you might prosper and leave your small villages.

The article 39 was a ploy in early nineties to cheat and calm down the Somali nomads who were making noises. It was crude strategy by Meles to buy time and sideline the Amhara who were managing the affairs of every region. It did work and pushed the Amhara to go to their own region. It did help a lot of other ethnic communities including Oromo to manage their affairs with their own language. Yet, it was a false and unthinkable ploy by the Tigre. No nation in their right mind will allow voluntary separation of their country . Usually it takes by the barrel of the gun to secede. Eritrea was allowed by Meles who was unwilling to face his own patron Asias who was hell bent for independence. In Ethiopia sessions can only happen by sheer power of the gun or disintegration of the state after a chaos. Without the Ethiopian political structure, monetary and economic systems what would a new Oromia state could do?.They will collapse on the weight of the new state with competing ethnic groups. Abiy is not worried about the Somali separation. He is thinking about the Tigray who has both the means and strength to dismantle Ethiopia. With Amhara on board and Eritrea on the border, it will be tough.

Duifaan, off course the Somali nomads in Dagaxbuur or those close to the Hawd are more nomadic and ingrained in the original Somali way of life, than The farmers of the Somali Galbeed heartland or the cosmopolitans like Ahmed Shide, yet these nomads are usually easy prey for those who want to use them or divide Somalis. Their earth scorching way the nomads were doing things hsd empowered TPLF and others while weakened Somalia, as it happened lately. Ahmed Shide and company are called “ Arliyo people “ who would not wage war to take other people’s land or property. In terms of nationalism, they have produced some of the most famous Somalis in our recent history. Saynab X. Cali Baxsan, Cabdi Muhumed Amin among them. Unlike others, these people only care about the existence of the Somali republic, and do not care who is in charge. They have different outlook than most. Illey certainly has done some big projects and got hundreds of millions of direct budget from the federal government. The OG are integral part of Somali Galbeed , but this time , they have to complete with others with equal footing. Even the ONLF must seek the support of their people. let them contest the election and show their strength. Being ONLF doesn’t give them the right to rule others. Let them forms their own party and contest the next election.The OG are large if every clan stands by itself, but if you compare the seven million Somalis of the region, or grouping of the D.,..r, they are very tiny group. This land is not Puntland, Somaliland or Galmudug where three or four clans live. In fact it is much similar to the Somali Republic in terms of population and diversity. I agree that , the next leader should be elected directly by the people . There is huge gap between reality and fiction among Somalis on issue of numbers and only direct election will clear the air. Illey and company had amble opportunity to prepare for the future, but decided to keep doing the same failed strategy of replacing one despot to another. Furthermore, if Ahmed Madoobe doesn’t change his attitude of owning everything and everyone, similar or worse things could happen there. We believe that the D,,,r community is the largest both in Lower Shabbelle and Jubba with large presence in Galmudug, Hiirsan and Benadir. We do believe that the Somali race won’t settle down peacefully unless this community takes charge. The separatists in North, the greedy D block and money grappling anarchist of HAG must give way to the D...r to have a lasting peace for all Somalis. By the way the “northern Habro”are not D...r, although they might claim now for political reasons.

OO, my friend on that issue I am a full blooded nomad living in the west. it is strange, too many Obama like Oromo guys who are leading.

The difference is they are killing their victims in day light , while the TPLF murdered people in dark places. Thousands had disappeared with Illey and Tplfy. Ciould you tell us when this took place. By all accounts communal tensyis going down throughout Ethiopia .

Fidel Castro said a” a revolution is strugglie to the death between the past and the future “ The forces of the past want to stop the future, and unfortunately, there will be victims.

The former TPLF stooge OO is now get a new propaganda to help The Amhara. Good luck. I wish you had shown us the thousands TPLF murdered and tortured for years including those in jail Ogadeen

He is a Somali . He is an educated civil servant who never murdered or maimed other Somalis. He is a loyal Ethiopian who doesn’t need to oppress other to rule. Many of you were willing to give a chance to the despot lieutenant of Illey who put his shoes on dead people. Somali tribes have mustered propaganda these days especially the D block.The sky is not falling, Let others rule for a change. You might even see the justice that Illey and company denied to the others.

Oodweyne, Didn't I said that I have a big fish to fry. I will be busy with the Jijiga issues for the next few months this. Jamuuriyada Barakaysan wakhti uma hay.

It is official. The era of despot Cabdi Illey is over in the Somali region. After closed door deliberations, the DDSI party had elected Mr. Ahmed Shide as the new leader which officially ends the 11 year painful rule of Illey. This selection will pave Mr. Shide as the new president of the region very soon. Also, the Liyu police has been disbanded as the security force of the Somali region. For the last few days the Liyu have been looting and pillaging communities while abandoning their positions. Also, members of Illey family are been investigated by the authorities for the theft of millions of dollars. It is an end of a painful chapters for a lot of Somalia. A very small group of blood thirsty group, created and organised by the Tplf and Cabdi Illey have been overthrow thanks to the Oromo uprising. While many Somali including my self were looking to preserve the old order for the sake order and continuity, millions of Somalia want the total demise and the removal of the tyrants who oppressed them for so long. Just like the Oromo celebrated the demise of the Tplf order, for the millions of Somalis the end of Illey and his henchmen is a great relief and a new era of freedom. There were some security concern about the disbanding of the Liyu police and the threat of anarchy and outlaws in the countryside, yet for most people, their disbanding was a relief. Analysts believe that the Liyu is too criminal or murderous to be a force that might fight for independence or even tribal reasons. They were trained to kill and abuse Somali and will not be needed in a land where people are seeking justice and freedom. It is mind boggling how a small ruthless group had managed to oppress and control millions of Somalia for so long. They acted like there is no one else but themselves. Now, Illey and his supporters must accept the new order and collaborae for the peace and development of all Somali. He and Tplf wanted to finish off the Somali and createa long civil war between the Somali and Oromo. There were a lot of victims, but we hope the worst to be over. He gambled to the lives of thousands of Somali to save the Tplf order. After he lost the gamble, he continued to the destructive route until it is too late.

Erdogan, just anouced that he will use local currency to trade with Russia, Iran, China and Ukraine. Even China has anouced few months ago that it will be using the Yaun to buy oil which could be billions. The addiction to santctions and bullying will not work any more as other nations had said. Turkey have some cards to play. Folks, the world had changed. Imagine Saudis are bullying Canada by punishing their own people including those who are in medical treatment in hospitals.

Guys, do not put fuel to the fire Trump and company are trying to ignite. In fact, Turkey is one if he few countries that are prepared for economic attacks, because, they were always expected to come. The Turkish election supposed to be held in the fall of 2019, and their enemies were preparing many stacks including currency and fueling of internal dissent. Erdogan and his party preempted the plan and held the election last June with solid majority. In terms of economy, they are growing faster than others. Their export is up double digits, tourism industry and visitors are up 20%, manufacturing and auto export are up. Almost every economic indicators are strong.as a daily follower of Turkis political and economic activity, every thing is up including weapon exports . They are taking over huge Americans exclusive industries like weapons export. They just signed billions worth of attack Helicopter deals with Pakistan, armed Deones and vehicles to Central Asia and Africa.Their domestic airline had carried 21% more people than last year. For the first time half million Chinese are visiting. Chines banks are financing billions of dollar projects. Furthermore, their biggest advantage is that their debt to GFP ration is the lowest in Europe, much lower than even Germany. Italy , Spain , Portugal and other big economies of Europe are suffering with 25% youth unemployment, and their dept to GDP ratio is 180% or more. Of course, their currency have been under attack for months and evil Gulf boys are dumping the Turkish Lira and their buying dollars will effect. Currency stability is needed for the market and investment, but it is not something that cannot be fixed. In Canada two years ago our dollar hit 69 cents dropping 30%, but the fundamentals of the economy was always stable. The Turkish economy is the most diversified in Europe. Here in Canada, 70% of our exports goes to one single trading partner—-USA. Canada is trying to diversify. Erdogan and company were preparing this sort of thing for years. It is all psychological war fare to keep Turkey for becoming independent power that cannot be dictated. Also, Turkey refused to join the sanctions on Iran and promised to trade with that nations including buying oil and gas. Folks, it is the growing pains that nations must go throug. Backward looking Somalis who live in a Small bubble and do not have stakes in the world, Who are always happy to carry the water for someone else, are already celebrating the end of Turkey that will not happen. Mr. Dahireto, your evil wish says more about you than Turkey. Turki way u Dhamaatay Kulaha.waar Soomalidan Maxaa Ka Si ah.

The proud culture of the Somali nomad that roomed the land and refused to be ruled by foreigner is no more. Rather than own and rule one if the largest land masses in the continental Africa , the new small Somali is bonded with few villages, yet he is celebrating. When the colonial officer tried to visit Hargeisa, in the late fifties,The ancestors of this Ducaale kid , Barkhad Cas said, “ Aan ooyee Albaabka I xidha “ Now, the grandson is saying “ Ingriis Cadde Ayaa Sidaa Yidhi” The OG community are saying that it was the British that called the land Ogaden, but those of us who know history clearly understands that it was King Haile Salasie who encouraged them to annex the Hawd and called it Ogaden for political reasons. The rest of the land from West of Buuhoodle all the way Jigjiga, Dir Dhaba and to the Djibouti border was given to Ethiopia in 1954. It was all clan politics spread headed by the colonial powers. The same thing goes with Djibouti. The first official census done by the French in 1949, The Awdal community of the city state were the largest, and Jaamac Zaylici become the first elected deputy. Rather than join the French, we opted for freedom and pro-Somalism. A systematic campaign to weaken us got started in 1960. In 1968 when we overwhelmingly voted “No” for the referendum for the French to stay, the French went house to house and deported thousands of citizens. He put electrified fences at the Lowyacdo crossing, and even mine fields patrolled by dogs. That same year, he changed the Land from French Somaliland and made it to the territory of the Cafaar and Ciise. He issues ID cards with Afaar as number one, Ciise 2, Awdalites 3 and so on. He closed the border and deported us much Awdalites as he could, who were wanted to join the free republic of Somalia. On the other hand , he encouraged new immigrants who rode the train by thousands both from the Afaar of Ethiopia and Somalis from Ethiopia who doesn’t grasp the battle for freedom. Within 20 years the demographics had changed.If many of you “ Gaas Dhagoole”are asked about Djibouti, you would say that it belongs to certain clan ,although over hundred thousand Awdalites still live their and if fair elections are held today their strength could be exposed. Folks, when those of us who know history and culture take the helm, the Somali nation will not be only Mogadishu, Hargeisa or those villages you keep exaggerating. Keep jumping up while it lasts. There are millions of Somalis from Babili to Mooyaale; from Zaylac, central Hiiraan to Bay and Jubba who are looking national state that works for all. Who knows, they might get one day. The Oromo are the new Somalis who want get back everything they lost and the fragmented enclaves will not match that zeal and unity of the Oromo. Frankly, I do not mind joining them.

Ducaake, as usual talking from the Gutter ( Bulaacad) is part of your upbringing. Do not twist my intention. Having realized how weak and corrupt the Somali enclaves are including Somali Galbeed, I have to swallow my pride and support those who want to be free. It is always better and morally correct to join a nation than a tribe. What you got is small potatoes on my side. 30 years old project and a hundred million dollars budget .famine, unemployment and chronic nepotism. Of course, you are slightly better than Mogadishu bomb factory. Furthermore, I would be even more comfortable joining the Oromo nation like many Somalis in Somali Galbreed than staying with an old dog that never learns anything new. The typical , Ehlul Naar” who beats the seventy years old grandma with stick while she is ridding the truck . Waxa uu yidhi Hassan Sh. Muumin isagoo Bisada ka hadlaya “ Magacyo Badanaa oo Basar Xumaa ma Soomaaliba “

Jawaar has defeated theTPLF while in Minnesota and Washington. whi knows in few years he might even take Fingine and annex to Oromia. As they say, no guts no glory.

MMA, That Somali state is not only weak but also obedient to orders from others. Ducaale, I know that you judge everything on Somaliland, but some times there are bigger fish to fry. Also, at this juncture, I do not have time to lose sleep about our local issues and Xaafad. Further more, It is the behaviour of the Somali enclaves that forced me to back down and accept the hard earned Oromo revolution and examine my priorities. You might be right that, usually when I try to fight or even argue other Somalis with pity things, we always lose on both sides. I might be harsh sometimes with Somaliland or others, but my intensity always to bring back the lost sheep to its natural flock. The Oromo are doing what we supposed to do and, I am taking my hat off to them. The Oromo did not just get a prime minister, who could come and go, they got their defacto independence without large scale displacement or destruction. Here in Sol, Some have called the Oromo dumb or peasant like backwards, yet they are celebrating an independence without going to war. Their country and homes are intact, and That is smart. They have thrown a 500 years old order upside down while holding the gavel in their hands. Very few people could claim in this day and age. The typical Somali would burn the house to save it as we have seen a cross the country. Now, those of us Somalis, who were yearning for freedom must soon throw out the despots who should have left with the Tplf oppressor, yet Some Somali want to preserve them for false Somali independence. I did talk to some ONLF members and they told me that these new kid is just stolled there to keep the transition and order, but soon he will follow his despot overlord Cabdi Illey. The Oromo revolution should have reached Jigjiga long ago, but a despot had decided to sacrifice as much Somalis as possible to preserve the dieing Tplf order. Imagine hoe the old order feels seeing the open welcoming of those they called terrorists just few months ago. My friend, I am still a fervent unionist, yet I decided not to focus anymore Somaliland or others for my greater goal.

The evil and deranged Saudis think that Canada is another Qatar that they can bully. The Canadian foreign minister was tweeting to support the hasnabd and sister of a Canadian resident that was jailed in Saudi Arabia. Their reaction is not only disproportionate but also ruthless and evil. They recalled thousandsof students, people who were here for medical and cancelled Saudia flights to Toronto. That is unnecessary exclation for a tweet. Good old Canada is not Qatar, Djibouti or Somalia. Having allied themselves with Orange Bafoon at the White house, the Bedouin think they can kick people around.

Just like the last King of Ethiopia who said these are my flock, despot Illey wanted him an Ethiopian hero while ignoring the great battles the Saying waged against Abyssinia. Illey and company had put many things upside down.

MMA, I and others are guilty of these plunder. Instead of Jigjiga, we say Jijiga. Diri Dhaba is another example. Somali Galbeed or Somali region is the right statement and we should start right away.

MMA, The larger Somal Republic is not In danger. The issue is Ethiopia.

Brother, it is not a fear. We do not have any strategy other than “the Oromo want to kill us” I have never seen a nation or group united like this in the last 30 years. It is a Khamenei style mob Will focus wherever it is directed. We should buy some time and wait. This huge caravan which looks like the anti apartheid movement of yesteryear will some day wine down and distingrate. It will divide in to three or four groups in due course.

I just watched Jawar Mohamed in a stadium greatedr by the queero, the Oromo youth movement. The Oromo are a proud nation these days just the way we were in 1960. . Folks, stay away from these revolution, a corrupt and backward thinking Somali will not match this nation. We must try to survive, regroup and fight another day.

Oo, There are Amharized Oromo and Oromized Somali. The Ahmarized Oromo is making war among Somali and former Somali Oromo. It is simple. We are killing our own people

It is a war among Somali orchestrated by the Christian Oromo to destroy among ourselves.

Some might say that if they are Somali why are they killing other Somalis? Well, it is the same reason Somalis are killing each other in Ceel Afweyn, Gaalkacayo, or Shabeelaha Hoose. There is a method to the madness. Do not listen the mob, try to understand the root causes. A large group of Somalis believe that in order to prosper , the best way is avoid the Somali Rule in Jijiga. For Some, total disintegration could be a welcome relief from the Illey boys. Imagine z family sitting in Jijiga and deciding amongst themselves for the future of the Somalis. Illey had gambled for thinking that the TPLF is for ever , but Somalis are paying the price. After he lost the gambling he should have reflected. One more thing , if this Abiy guy doesn’t stop the incoming civil war he could face a military coup to bring order to Ethiopia. The TPLF media and others are calling the military to bring order anc take over the country.
