Gooni iyo Oodweyne waa idin Salaamay. Oodweyne , you said the issue is not "the morality of what was incumbent for us", but challenges posed by the Farmaajo presidency toward Somalilnd. So, let us discuss the implications of president Farmaajo. The new president, when he was asked about Somaliland , he said " Dhibka Soomaaliya ma billaaban 1991, ee waa mid bilawday 1960, Reer woqooyiga waa la takoora , dhibkaas ay kaa cabanayeena inaga dhexdeena ayuu ka bilawday 1991, dawladnimana waan soo celin weynay. Waa in dib u heshiisiin sax ah aynu samayno. Dadkaasi waa dad la yaqaano, waa in loo yeelaa waxa ay rabaan si midnimo qaran loo helo, waa arin muhiim ah oo ka muhiimsan afar sano iyo toban , waa arin taabanaysa jiilka soo socda boqolka sano ee soo socda". waan soo koobay hadalkiisa oo waxoogaa isku toosiyey, maadaama farmaajo reer Xamar yahay af soomaaliguna ku kooban yahay". Like any Somali president he believes the unity and territorial integrity of the republic should be maintained regardless of what came abut the Somali civil war of early nineties. Since Farmaajo is related to Siyaad Barre and is haling from GEdo region, it will be difficult for him to charge on toward Somaliland at this time , yet that does not mean he will allow disintegration. The somali civil of eighties had created a lot of distrust, animosity and fear among Somalis. Some groups who thought they have won the war, have not only paid a heavy price, but did not gain any meaningful progress, although some like Somaliland are better than others. Having said that the tribal distrust and fear of others is stronger in certain regions while diminishing in other parts. The distrust of the SNM community of every thing " D Block" or in particular Gedo region must be bridged and reconciled. It is the last remaining puzzle of the Somali unity and reconciliation. It was the Galgduud and Mohamed Farah Caydiid Community that fought the Siyaad Barre regime in the south. The Caydiid led USC was fierce in it;s hate toward the "D Block" and Siyaad Barre without even distinguishing the people and the regime. AS we remember he went After Barre with zeal and he even forgot about forming government or politics, although " Manifesto" and others had different plans. Today, the Caydiid and Galagduud communities who fought Siyad Barre, are the biggest supporters of Farmaajo, and both of these people forgot and forgave what took place twenty years ago. In order for Somaliland and the Somali people in general to survive these dangerous world of competing interests , we must swallow our tribal pride especially with the advent of crude , calculated policies of the some democratic countries. It seems that while we Somalis and many others are leaving tribal , ethnic and the politics of identities, Some European and Americans are reversing their democratic ideals and are becoming tribal. The war instigated by the corrupt and rich gulf states and arrogant extremist Iranian Shia hegemony will remake the middle east in the coming future. Five historical capitals of the middle east have been burned already by these sectarian war. Damscus, Bahgda, Aden, Sana and Tripoli have been destroyed, and with grace of Allah Cairo and Istanbul have survived. With few Shillings we may even buy that war and bring to our shores in Berbera. The long range missiles of Iran could rain in Hargeisa and Berbera. I urge the Somaliand parliamentarian to reject this just like other Somalis rejected the Ethiopian influence in their lives. Twenty six years have passed since Somaliland declared secession , yet it seems we are just crawling of the gate. Since this thread is not about what Somaliland done or does not I will leave it there. Ten or more years ago, in a weekend outing , when the Embagati , Kenya process was under way, I did visit some northern friends , many from Hargiesa and Borama, chewing Qat in a house. It was in the heydays of Dahir Rayaale regime and many of his sub clan were there spewing their zeal toward me. When I told them that colonel C/laahi Yusuf could be the president and will be coming to the countryside surrounding Togdheer, they all laughed as the boasting of " Nin Muqdisho ku waashay". At the time the Sool region was under the Puntland administration. Just like many Somalis who follow the out dated logic of repeating that certain tribes could only rule the messy and anarchist Somalia, they dismissed the possibilities of different outcomes. Rather take account of human ingenuity or the surprise political outcomes that could change every thing , they kept saying "reer hebel Somaliya ma xukumayaan ama waa la nacay', regardless, this man was not elected by the "D Block', many in Jubba like "Xidig' compained with Hassan Sheikh. Shariif Ahmed was an old guard seen before and Hassan put all his hopes on Ethiopia, while Cumar Sharmaarke was seen as weak . He was the next best . We, the Reer Woqoyi" unionist believe that we have certain ability and competence that the southern Somalis lack and without us there will never be a strong and great Somalia. Look at the media and culture, for tweet years they could not compose any thing meaningful. I maybe wrong but certain elites of the south are always worried about " Beeso" and could sell his favor, although that culture is now prevalent in somliand and other places. Remember, the October revolution could not have gone any where for the first ten years without the huge northern brain and trust. Without Ismaciil Cali Abokor, Ahmed Saleebaan Dafle, Muuse Rabile and others , it could not have moved quickly. After Siyaad bArre arrested Ismaciil C. Abokor and many members of the SRC, certain members of the Gedo community went to Siyaad Barre and told him that " Haddii Ragii saaxiibadaa ahaa ee kacaanka kula waday aad xabsid geliso , ogow in aadan meel gaadhayn". Even today, the new leader of the Somali Senate have shown to be independent and nationalist, and the way C/raxman Beyle managed both the election of the speaker of the parliament and the president have shown the people the honesty and competence of the northern Somalis. We Awdalites do not have any animosity toward anyone, but in Mogadishu , all the northerners had to stick together to survive the bombing of al-shabab and other freelance criminals targeting people for one way or another. The Habro are our leaders today and it seems we will live or die by their decisions which is a difficult thing to swallow, but most people believe sticking together and making a collective decision is better that dis-integration and anarchy, Farmaajo has a huge task of first cleaning corruption in government, building Somali army, and chasing Al-shabaab and their sponsors from the south. I believe he will show good will and brotherhood toward Somalialnd while affirming unity and territorial integrity. In the mean time, the distrust between the "Dblock" and the SNM community must be resolved and president Farmaajo has an opportunity to reconcile this issue. Xildhibaan Zakaria H. Mohamuud waxa uu yidhi " Soomaali hadaanu nahay la inagama adkaan karo, laakiin waa la in lugoyn kara. Lugooyadu way ka daran tahay dagaalka. Si aynu uga badbaadno dadkan raba in ay bariga dhexe ku celiyaan qabaa'il iyo firqooyin waa in aynu qaran adag dhisanaa. There are great powers who want to remake the middle east and Africa to their original way of tribes and sects. It did already destroy old civilizations that lives side by side for thousands of years. Somalilnd trying to separate is small part of the game.

Oodweyne said "it was the arrogant way, HSM, went about abusing everyone in Xamar (with a not so subtle hint that says unless you behave, Hassan, being a president living in his town, can always add you to the casualty of the terror). And, lastly, it was the brazen way, the Ethiopians tried to carry him on their shoulders to the finish line, while everyone else was either expect to assist that, or moving out of the way." Somalis identified him as the Ethiopian candidate that is major one . Today, I did ask an older gentleman who has inside sources from Mogadishu to explain the surprise win of President elect Farmaajo. He said, the first indication was that there was not huge money involved in the presidential election as reported by many people. While most members of the parliament went through a grueling process during their election, they wanted to prove to people that they were worth of the task in front of them. He said also the women factor plated great role. Since they are married to different tribes, sometimes opposite of their own they did not have the tribal loyalties men have. finally , all the twenty candidates agreed to defeat Hassan Sheikh collectively. I never believed the so called " reer Hebel baale" like many northerners who bury their head in the sand and expect someone favorable

President Farmaajo was a prime minister and have seen the foreign run Somali government before, this is his second chance as the leader not the manager. The Somali people every where have shown him a good will and support toward him. If he succeeds, the whole Somali people will succeed. I urge OOdweyne and others to give the man a chance to help the ailing Somali people every where. In Somaliand 1.5 million people are affected by drought and food shortage, the Berbera port have been sold to corrupt gulf leaders with few shillings. They may even want to being the disastrous Yemen war to our shores. It was Hassan Sheikh who signed that agreement. It was also a corrupt politician Named Ismaaciil Buuba who took part in the distribution the financial campaign to buy people from the opposition party of Wadani.I welcome the leadership of WAdani for rejecting the deal. We Somalis are all victims of our own policies. The Somali people through the parliament has spoken loud and clear, they have given the power to a new generation of leaders who does not bow to no body but to Somali people. Farmaajo was elected because the people are tired of relay presidency that does not cure the problems. He did not use or called tribes during his campaign. He did not attack his opponents and other candidates, in fact he ran a positive campaign that appealed to the pride and hope of the people. I was one of those who wrote him off. I thought he was not prepared money wise or the MOgadishu game, but the Somali parliamentarians had another agenda. They wanted to show people how worthy they were of the position the were occupying at this juncture of the Somali history. They did what was right. They elected a Somali nationalist . Hassan Sheikh, may Allah protect him , has done some tangible work for the last four years and we shall thank him for every good thing he done. His constant smile and positive attitude will be missed, yet he does not cure the physiological problems Somalia have endured for twenty five years. The nation could be poor, but the pride of the people and the nation must be maintained regardless of the wealth or poverty. While we value the help of our neighbors for their help against Al-shabaab, we believe that poor , weak and corrupt nations like Burundi or Sierra leone should not be substitute for Somali national army. This election showed democracy in action in Somalia. People around the world have watched free men and women exercise their duty without coercion and intimidation. Somalis, it is a new day and a new beginning. Certainly you could celebrate every where. We really need this one to last. May Allah help the new president and our people every where.

C/weli will be finished soon. Faroole is one of the strong guys in Somalia. He could have stopped Damujaddiid and Hassan Sheikh if he were in charge of Puntland.

No one thought this election to be consequential, or game changer for Somalis in their quest to gain back their state, but the actions of our enemies and rivals seem to point in different direction. There is desperation from Ethiopia and their puppet regional administrations. For them , this election is do or die. Are we in the crossroads?( kadartii ayaynu taaganahay, ama dib baynu u soo dhici ama waynu ka bixi). Status quo, despotism and one party state system of government has weakened the Ethiopian government. The oppressed ethnic communities have became restless and are demanding freedom and democracy. Peaceful protests are met with violence ,mass arrests and torture. There is a fear among the leaders that one day the gene might leave the closed box and after that all may crumble. An independent and resurgent Somalia is a threat to many governments in the region. A democratic and independent Somalia is a threat not only to Ethiopia, Djibouti, and many in east Africa, but also to the gulf monarchies. Nations, regardless of their power, economy and resources try to be independent as much as possible. Just like family, home and personal affairs, you must clean up your own problems, then cooperate and work with others to reach a common goal. Today in Somalia we have leaders who could not tie their own shoes without the consent of the neighboring governments. In this election, the president of the Somali Republic has became a symbol of weak leadership implementing the wishes of the rival powers of Somalia. If that is not the case , why would the Ethiopian government insist on his re-election?, What would they lose if another leader takes the power?,. As we speak the Ethiopian leadership is scrambling to find whatever ways to bring Hassan Sheikh back. C/weli Gaas, the leader of the Puntland regional state, was ordered to go to Mogadishu and help Hassan. He will be arm reselling and pushing the Puntland members of parliament toward Hassan Sheikh. All the leaders of the regional governments were ordered to elect Hassan. Our hope is that the members are independent and will vote their conscience or personal interest, rather than the orders of their regional leader. Our president, Hassan Sheihk, decided be identify himself with the interest of Ethiopia, as such , Somalis who want to remove the Ethiopian albatross from their necks should give him the boot and elect another leader. Few weeks ago I had a conversation with Dr. C/raxman Badiyow, who abandoned his quest to run for president after it became apparent that the interference of foreign powers like Ethiopia , United Arab Eremites and others, made it difficult to wage an honest and free election. This two nations are described by Somalis and the international community as spoilers. One is carrying a huge bag of money, while the other is using intimidation, coercion and blackmail to achieve it's goal . He said ," Traditionally elections should bring people together" , making the analogy of prayers, he said "Salaadu waxay ka bilaabataa Qiblada oo loo jeesto iyo niyada oo lala yimaado" He said, the Somali leader must bring to the table three basic things in order to succeed. 1-he must reconcile the nation: good leaders bring people together after elections and after long civil war. 2-must build institutions: without competent institutions whether it's police , army or other government services, you will be just a giant mess. 3-must be transparent: if the leader explained to people the lack of resources and is willing to share the hardship to achieve the greater goal , the populace will do the necessary sacrifices. The problem is the leadership keeps talking about the lack of basic salary for soldiers and others , while on the other hand spending millions for political favors( Haddi aad dadka tidhaado waxba ma hayee intan aynu ku wada noolaano, gaajada way kula qaybsan). Dr, Baadiyow said, " four years ago when Hassan Sheikh was elected, I said to people ,"Somalia is doomed" (Soomaali god bay ku dhacday), yet like everyone else, I gave him a chance to redeem himself, because I knew him". Also, there are reports that C/weli Gaas will be going to be the next prime minister . Keep in mind Hassan Sheikh gave C/weli Gass hundreds of thousands to contest the last Puntland election. Long ago many people in Puntland told us that C/weli was an associate of Damujadiid who will always rescue Hassa Sheikh in time of need. He fooled everyone as the false opposition to Damujadiid. Dear Somali parliament, A wind of freedom and independence is blowing in Somalia. As the mother and foundation of the Somali state , you must make history and make a clean break from the policies of our rivals. There is a cloud of suspicion , corruption and dirty tricks over your head , and most Somalis are not pleased the way many of you have been selected, yet you are the legitimate arbitrator of the Somali state and future. How you vote next Wednesday will shape the future of the next generations of Somalis. You have a solemn duty to cast your vote for whom ever you think will lead this nation to better security , cohesiveness and independence. Everyone is afraid of your vote. Despots and dictators always fear the ballot box. C/weli, Shariif Hassan, Ahmed madoobe are all afraid of your vote. Have you seen what happened to the puppet leader of Galmudug handpicked by Hassan Sheikh?, he was throw out. Hassan Sheikh spent millions to elect C/kariim Guuleed, yet he could not even do the basic leg work of bringing Ahlu Sunnah and others on board. They have no capacity to manage small things regardless of how much money they are given. Dear Parliament it is your turn to make a huge statement.

Barwqqao, ma ololihii Hassan Sheikh baad ku biirtay. Ina Adeer sobobta miyaad noo shoogi kartaa?

YoniZ, I think we won the first round hands down. The issue in not the EEZ (economic exclusive zone). It is about the way the boundaries are measured. After the final victory, we need a navy to enforce the law. But first , we need to elect a tough president.

Few months ago , I analyzed the Somali candidates for president in 2016. As I wrote in these pages, some were pretenders while others were strong contenders. I concluded that the current president, the prime minister and former president Shariif Ahmed as the candidates who have the best chances to win this. I did not say they were the best among the candidates, but it was a matter of choosing between ad choices. I did mention about the toughness of Mohamed Nuur Tarzan, the wisdom and experience of Dr. C/raxman Baadiyow and others who could have done well as a presidents of a nation rising from the ashes of anarchy, tribalism, and famine. judging about the money and the corruption involved about the parliament, I concluded that the best of the three mentioned above would have the material means to win this election. I reasoned that among those three , The prime minister would represent a change compared to Shariif Ahmed and Hassan Sheikh. Having said that , if you asked me who is the best among the candidates regardless of money and connection ?, I would say Zakaria Haji Mohamuud is the best . He is not only tough, but he is strong and patriot. Unlike Hassan Sheikh and many others, he could see the big picture of the nation and it's potential. He has been intimidated by Ethiopia and others, yet he never gave up or lost hope. He is among the few who believes that Somalis could build their country by themselves while welcoming those who offer help. He does not believe tribal army or militia like Hassan Sheikh and his cronies. Waxa aan ku raacay waxa uu leeyahay , " yaa Soomaliyaay". Haddii la doorto Zaharia dhamaantayo waa u gurmaanaynaa waana taageeraynaa.

I think We will be lucky if that kind of a guy comes. Waa in baarlamaanka dhambaal Soomaalidu u dirtaa . Waa haddii larabo in aynu isbedel run ahi yimaado. Farmaajo iyo kuwa kale caruur geel aday ayey noqonayaan marka Zakariye loo fiiriyo

Che, I think the opposition to Trump is larger than we all thought. Look at the women's march within a week of organizing close to a million showed up. He has the lowest approval rating of a president in his first day in office. The reason Stephen Bannon and company are rushing for all these executive orders are they may not last. If the mid term election comes and republicans loose the house, he will be in trouble. They are afraid, or he knew he may not last for whatever reasons. By the way Che, looking the Somali election, I saw Zakariye Haji Mohamuud. A tough man who is thousand times stronger than Culusow or Ina C/rashiid. I think Somalis should support that guy. What do you think

Yes. It is a terrorism by a white terrorist. actually the whole government went to the city where the crime happened and held a vigil. The prime minster, conservative leader Rona Ambrose and NDP leader Tom Mulcair all rose inside parliament in unity.

Just like the crazy Neo-Nazi kid, Dylan Roof , who shot and killed church worshipers in South Carolina, this one is motivated by hate and extremism. In these days, bad things, like this tragedy could happen around the world. The main thing is how communities and societies react. The Canadian people and the government reacted with the right attitude of offering help and encouragement to the people in Quebec Muslim community and Muslim Canadians around the country. Both the prime mintier and the opposition leaders stood united to condemn this crime and console the families of the victims. Here in Alberta, we had a vigil tonight at the Alberta legislature. The Premier and the opposition progressive conservative candidate Jason Kenny offered support for the community. Condolences for the victims. We all pray for peace. Certainly this was an isolated crime by a deranged man.

Brother Che , I agree. We Somalis have played fast and loose about the issues of nationhood, homeland and sovereignty like tribal games that could be discarded as we wish. It is easy to start a fire, but it won't be easy to stop. For years I had seen Somalis leaving the diaspora and building things in Nairobi, Uganda and other places. They were mostly southern Somalis, and I used to wonder, Why would any Somali spend millions in an African country that could go in a flame without notice?. why not spend the money in Hargeisa or Boosaaso?. America defeated communism not by building weapons , but by ideas of freedom and openness. Do not forget this German American bully does not believe any of the things that he is pronouncing. If Obama was a republican , Trump would have run as a democrat. He is a fraud and will fail. Of course he may get some trade concessions, but millions of people will not be coming to the former land of the free. America has been a heaven for refugees and people escaping from persecutions around the globe. It was the shining light that attracted everyone. Not anymore. Targeting the most venerable people who are escaping war is not only illegal but cruel. Trump will not make America great, but will make america, small, mean and irrelevant. A man who would not pay the salary of his workers , who took advantage of everyone he encountered will not build America. He does not even know the weight of the executive orders he was signing. He was smiling like a showman, who does not grasp the enormity of his actions. George Soros , an experienced businessman said " the buffoon is shocked by the victory and he is going to be a disruptive ".

I think we need a real change. the parliament must throw out all the incumbent politicians and elect some fresh blood . It can happen right.

I am not a conspiracy theorist , but most of those involved at the Paris massacre were criminals running drug dealing and gangster owned bars. It bagels the mind that we have been told that people who are involved with evil, drugs and criminality were at the same time religious fundamentalist. pray for peace and understanding.

I do not know if you guys have heard , but there are credible reports that explain certain Somalis convicted by the American justice system who were Mentally ill youths or some who are retards trapped by the FBI and others. Rather than help these youngsters they were trapped by those who want the so called war on terror to continue for ever. In order to justify their finances some do trap innocent or mentally challenged people. Here in Canada their was a case about some native born Canadian drug addicts who were trapped by some intelligence people connected to the Americans. The good thing was the Canadian justice system worked and those people were latter freed on appeal.

It is a blanket ban . Other than Sudan and Iran, the other five are conflict zones. As you can see, Wahabi exporting Saudis are not included. Throughout history , refugees overwhelmingly do not participate terrorism or violence against their host countries.. Most Terror plots in Europe are from native born or other individuals trapped by state intelligence. Holac, no one will miss the xaafada party .

Former president Shariif Ahmed has taken the lead to explain his political program about the future of Somalia. He extensively criticized the unfulfilled promises of the current president , especially the security situation of the country, which is worse than when Shariif Ahmd handed him the power in 2012. "Despite the business activities of the port and the donor money from different countries, president Hassan Sheikh was unable to pay the salaries of the Somali soldiers", claimed Shariif Ahmed. He talked about the homogeneity of the Somali language, culture and the Shaafi'i school of thought that we all share. I think this speech showed Shariif Ahmed as honest and God fearing man who does not interested about money and corruption. The only problem is ,"most people think that he might not be able to handle Somali problems". Actually , I was watching his video clip with my wife and she said that Mr. Shariif does not look as someone who could command power ," Huuno ninkani madaxweyne uma eka" Regardless of his look, since Hassan Sheikh has lost the trust of the people , Shariif Ahmed could seriously challenge the presidency against Cumar C. Sharmaarke. Before 2012, Ethiopian and other used to ask permission for entering some of the border regions. Since Mr. Hassan took over, Ethiopian troops came and went as they please. They will leave a district in Hiiraan and come back after few months with another town in Bay or Hiiraan. President Hassan thought that by giving the whole shop to foreign powers, they could assist him for re-election. The truth is politics does bot work that way. Some people thought that rather bring another novice politician to the stage , it would have been better to straighten those who have been in the fire like Hassan Sheikh. I am one of those who believe that if we trust the nation with this president with another four years , we may end up with nothing but a nation infested with hostile powers, terrorists and dysfunctional system. Most of these leaders do not know that modern terrorism is all about. It is a covert destructive operations used by hostile foreign powers to undermined rival nations. Since they can not invade and subdue the independent and proud Somali nomad, a ruthless and merciless Wahabi cult is unleashed by our enemies. We need a leader who could face this threat and bring our people on board. We can not waste another four years. Now, where is Cumar C. Sharmaarke? few months ago, prime minister Sharmaarke has promised all of us about his soon to be released political program, yet three months have passed and we did not hear from him again. So, Mr. prime minister what is going on. Who knows , maybe this idea of flying under the radar is the same old plan that elected Hassan Sheikh while everyone was speaking loud and noisy. In any case, we need to hear from this prime minister before we all decide to bet on another candidate.

El-Punto, when I say new generation of Somalis, I do not mean they should run for office only. I am talking about joining the professional class of Engineers, doctors, lawyers, skilled trades men , nursing and business. Some can set up consulting firms, construction companies and so forth. I agree, : Dukaan la iska ag furto ma shaqaynayso". To win elected office means getting the necessary experience and working with others. It is all about the mind set of the community. For those who work hard and get the necessary life skills , they will be always successful in Canada . Of course it is tough and cold climate hat needs adaptation and preparation. Just stay away from the victim culture that keeps people dependent. Do not pay attention to the so called victim groups. They will keep talking about being black, native Indian or other categories, but they will never help you to succeed. Find your own stake in this vast continental country and you will be fine.

Somalis should not worry about Trump. This is not a nation of men but a nation of laws. It is also important no to exaggerate or take literally what politician Trump said during the campaign. He may have singled out Somalis in Minnesota , but that was part of his fear mongering campaign. Somalis should not join the bandwagon and feel victim. follow the rules and play by the rules and nothing bad will happen to you. All of his cabinets picks have contradicted his campaign stance on Russia, waterboarding , torture and NATO. The Republican realists have taken over his government. They know he is a man-child that must be supervised. Finally the investigations of TRump are ready. Here is what the Washington post wrote: “The investigators of Russian meddling, whether a Congressional select committee or an independent commission, should have bipartisan balance, full subpoena authority, no time limit and a commitment to make public as much as possible of what they find.” It further says, Trump “should recognize,” writes the Post, “that the credibility of his denials of any Russian connections is undermined by his refusal to release tax returns and business records" Well, get the pop corn and watch another reality show by Trump. The Kenyan in chief probably also undermined the Clinton presidency when he appointed a Republican director of FBI. With all the headache the republicans gave him for all those years, he picked one of them to oversee the most important law enforcement agency in America. Mr. James Comey received the Trump dossier already in September, but decided to sit on it, yet eleven days before the election he informed the congress about the old news of the Clinton email. This democrats are weak minded people who will never learn any thing from history. It was a republican special persecutor, Kenneth Star who headed the Clinton impeachment of 1998.

Holac, do not worry about this reality TV president. He will be weak and under constant investigation, or he will put his foot in his mouth. Sommalidu yaanay ka welwelin wadanku sharci buu leeyahay qof u horeeya ee uu qabanayo waa Trump.

Last week during my new year predictions , I said that President -elect Donald Trump will be investigated in late 2017, and will be eventually impeached in 2019. Folks , I was wrong. The investigations of Trump and Russian connections to steal the election and install a pro-Kremlin puppet have already started before he even took office. This scandal is getting bigger by the hour. If you are millennial or someone who does not follow history, there was a big scandal that brought down the 38th president of the united state, Richard Nixon in 1974, called the Watergate. The break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. in 1972 and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. Most of scandal was about the cover up of the president and private tapes in his office. The 2016, Watergate # 2, A break in of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails by a foreign group is more dangerous than the previous one, and the Americans should be alarmed for their political system. When the private emails of the former secretary of state was stolen, everyone attacked and targeted the victim, Hilary Clinton. Of course it was wrong for her to use private server, but almost every leader used some kind of private communications to avoid the huge government record that sucks every thing.. Despite her short comings , how can the American law enforcement and intelligence community could not figure out who hacked the private servers of former secretary of the state and would be president. We all talk about the Wikileaks and their power to divulge secrets through the internet. Previous American embassy classified cables were provided by people with security clearance like former or current officers , but how can a man hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy could hack the Clinton emails. No he did not. Someone wit broad intelligence assets hacked and passed to Wikileaks. This could have been the story of the century, where investigative journalists should have competed to crack the code of the email culprit. Instead of tying to connect the dots, all the American media was doing for the last ten months was keep asking Clinton which emails were classified or similar questions. The traces that should be followed were their for those interested to see. I do not have the knowledge or the resources of the American media or law enforcement , yet as a lowly Somali Canadian, I had figured out last year that almost all the major conspiracy web sites, antiwar web sites and other so called pacifist were almost all Russian fronts, paid and organized by well calculated intelligence unit. Some useful idiots do not even know who their employers is. Every article that appears in the internet about the Syrian and Ukraine war was flooded by Russian disinformation desk and organized trolls with pro Russian answers.These websites might be against war, but they are specifically against only American wars in favor of Russian aggression. So, what has changed. The American FBI have investigating Donald Trump campaign people since early this year about their Russian connections. They even went to a federal court to obtain a warrant to eavesdrop four members of the Trump campaign. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manofort had a long history of dealing with both Russia and the ousted pro-Russian and Ukrainian president Yukanovich. He was paid millions and helped him elections . The Russians employed him and another businessman by the name of Carter page as foreign policy adviser of the campaign. Since most intelligence and the American law enforcement community did not expect Trump to win , they were trying to manage the connections between him and the Russians. When the Russians found out that Mr. Manofort was under surveillance by the FBI , they informed Trump and he was immediately fired from the campaign. Now , Mr. President -elect must tell every thing he had with Russians or he will be investigated for cover up or will be impeached eventually. He may not even govern up to 2019. The American intelligentsia want the quarter of the population who are deplorable to see how their emperor has no clothes. Soon everyone will abandon him after they see how reckless their savior is. Folks, Trump will be done sooner than we all expected. Their is a secret dossier prepared by a British intelligence officer outlining the connections between Trump campaign and the Russians. That dossier was shared with both Trump and Obama including a sensitive two page memo detailing a compromising personal and financial information the Russians have collected on Trump since 2009. The dossier claimed ,"several figures in the Trump campaign were in league with the Russian government during the campaign, and that Russia had been conspiring with them to groom Trump as an ally for “at least five years.” It also claims exchanges of information between Trump and the Kremlin for “at least eight years,” meaning the ties would’ve gone back as far as the last year of the Bush Administration. The dossier names former Trump adviser Carter Page, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, as well as incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as having personally and repeatedly met with Kremlin officials on anti-Clinton leaks." "The summary memo that Trump was reportedly presented with did not detail the dirt Russia had on him, but the dossier itself claims multiple sex tapes as the substantive part of it. This included a claim that Trump went out of his way during a 2013 visit to Moscow to rent out the presidential suite in the Ritz Carlton, knowing that the Obamas had stayed there, with an eye toward “defiling” the bed they’d slept in. Russia’s top intelligence agency, the FSB, reportedly had multiple concealed cameras and microphones in the room at the time. While this was the most explicit individual allegation, the dossier also claimed Trump had repeatedly gone to Moscow and St. Petersberg on business and “had to settle for the use of extensive sexual services from the local prostitutes rather than business success.” It further alleges Trump not only held “wild sex parties” in St. Petersberg, but that officials had had the direct witnesses to such parties “silenced,” either bought off or coerced into leaving the city. The dossier then quoted an alleged former Russian intelligence officer who claims that Trump’s “unorthodox behavior” over the years during his many visits to Russia had left them with more than enough dirt with which to blackmail the now president-elect. It also claimed Russia had a deal with Trump’s campaign to leak the DNC emails to WikiLeaks in return for Trump questioning US support for NATO, particularly in the Baltic states, with the idea Russia expected this to distract from Ukraine. They also alleged Russia routinely swapped dirt on Clinton with the Trump campaign in return for information the Trump team had gathered on Russian oligarchs and their families living in the United States. Everyone is asking , how this man became the president of America?. Well, this is probably the beginning of the decline of the United State of America. Former American presidents were some times wrong , but they were always honorable men who had respect for the office.

Maakhri1, I know Amin Amir is involved as you said some " pay and Play", in some cases. At the same times he does not ignore or cover injustice even if his fiends are of some powerful people. Personally , I thought his public service of highlighting injustice may out weight his other wrongs. It is just a balance. In the end his good out weights his shortcomings.
