Mr. Carafaat, That is major achievement if he does just those few step. It was almost more than 20 years ago after the Carta, Djibouti selection that people requested Cabdiqasim to just create a ploice force for Banaadir alone and pacify the city. Why not became the leader of Banaadir and pacify that one city. Shabeelaha Hoose is the home of southern D...r and T...ni people who are an accommodating and good people, otherwise many from Galgaduud would have settled in middle Shabeele. in 2004, the late president C/laahi Yusuf was told how late Osman Caato would welcome him to Mogadishu. C/laahi said" aniga iyo Cisman Caato waxaanu kawada nimid Gaalkacayo, Xamarna iguma soo dhaweyn karo" or something to that effect. If being HAG makes Banaadir your tribal home , Shabeelaha is my home as a member of D....r group. Anyway, we are hitting Hassan these days, not because we dislike him, but we want him to return to the right path. Dawacooyinka ku wareegsani waxay rabaab in ay jar ka tuuraan. Waxa laga yaabaa waxa ay rabaan markay ka waayaan in ay sidii ay horeba iyagu u rideen haddana ay mar kale fashiliyaan. He is our president and we want him to succeed. By the way , those from Somaliland like me, have also a say in Mogadishu.

Shir albaabadu u xidhan yihiin ayaa waxa uu dhexmray, Madaxweyne Hassan Sheikh, Mahad Salaad, Sanbloolshe iyo Agaasimaha madaxtooyada. Waa shir socday saacado badan oo qoraalkan aan lagu soo koobi karan, laakiin waxaanu isku dayi in idiin soo gudbiyo qaybtii koowaad ee dooda ka dhacday Villa-Somalia. Sanbaloolshe: Mudane madaxweyne inkii Farmaajo ee aanu madaxtooyada ka saarnay ee aanu nidhi weliba xilka yaanu wareejin maalinta caleema saarkaaga ee waa in uu todabaad gudihii uga baxaa villa-Somalia, ayaa weli baraha bulshada iyo saxaafada ku jira. Waxani wax loo dul qaadan kara maha ee waa in aynu talaabo ka qaadnaa. Madaxweyne Hassan: waar ninku waa madaxweyne hore, hadal weyna waa iga dhacay oo waxaan idhi " aargoosi siyaasadeed" ma sameynayee maxaa tala? Mahad Salaad: Sanbaloolshe ayaan ku raacsanahay, Farmaajo lacag waa buuxaa oo bangiyada ayey u taalaa, hadana waxaan maqlaynaa guri baa loo dhisayaa. Waa in aynu lacagta la wareegno, dhismaha gurigana joojino. Agaasimaha Madaxtooyada: Mudane Madaxweyne, way adag tahay in aanu horjoogsano guri madaxweyne hore loo dhisayo, laakiin waxaanu samayn karnaa in aanu olole cusub oo xafiiska madaxtooyadu hagayo ka bilwno baraha bulshada, sida kacaan cusub oo la yidhaahdo "Soomaaliya oo nabada" oo maalinba tuulo cusub aad booqato. SB: Wakhti badan ayaanu u baahan nahay si aanu awood ugu yeelano baraha bulshada, laakiin talaabada u horeysa waxa weeye in Fahad Yaasiin la soo qabto, Farmaajana dalka laga saaro. HSM: Farmaajo sidee dalka ooga saara? Fahad Yaasiin waa maskaxda waxaan ka dambeysa, aniguna nabad kuma seexan karo inta ninkaasi nool yahay oo dalka jooga. M. Salaad Hawshaas maxaad ka qabatay tan iyo kulankeeni hore? MS: Mudane, saakadii hore ayaan ciidan iyo rag diray, Fahad oo katiinadaysan ayaa NISA la iigu keenya, waxii koombiyuuter hurigiisa yaalayna waan soo qaadaya, dadka ku aasan dayrka gurigiisana waan soo faqaya. AM: Mudane, Fahad dalka ma joogo. Hore ayuu ka war helay in uu Mahad Salaad u soo nsocdo warkuna suuqa ayuu galay. Mid kale taliyaha NISA ayaa dad inta uu gacabtiisa ku dilo ayaa gurigiisa ku aasaya wax aqliga galaya ma ahan. Ma aha in aynu rumaysano wararka beenta ah ee aynu baraha bulshada inagu geynay. HSM: OO ninkii Fahad ee aad ilahayd waan soo qabanaya ilayn dalkaba ma joogo. Waar madaxweyne labaad idaacadaha iyo wararka in uu habeen kasta ku jiro oo maalin walba la yidhaahdo gurigii Farmaajo maanta daebigii baa la dhisay, todobaad ka dibna daaqadihii baa la wadaa oo hadhawna saxaafada caalamiga sida BBC, CNN iyo Al- Jazeera loo yeedho oo la yidhaahdo, waa " Madaxweybuhii u horeeyey ee Africa ee weligii shilin qaadan", anigoo og in lacagtiisu bangiyada dibeda taala wax la ogolaan karo ma ahan. SB: Mudane, wiilka aad adeerka u tahay ee Taabit Cabdi gobolka Banaadir u magacaw, ka dibna u sheega in uu diido dhul guriga Farmaajo laga dhiso. AM: Mudane madaxweynihii hore ayaa dhul guri loo diiday ceen ayey nagu tahay. Boqolaal qof oo reer Muqdisho ah ayaa jagooyin banaan siinaya. Ololaha baraha bulshada haddii dhaqaaleheeda la ii dhiibo, aniga ayaa abuuraya Youtubers cod dheer oo hawada qabsada. MS: Madaxweyne, waxa jira in aad u magacaabayso Khayre i uu arrimaha lacaga dibeda inagaga xaniban soo celiyo. Bal kawaran haddii aynu qabsano shirkado iyo looyaro caalami oo soo ogaada kadubna aynu soo qaadano lacagaha Farmaajo u Yaala Turkiga, Qatar iyo Marykanka? AM. Mudane, waad og tahay dhibkii kaa soo gaadhay lacatii dibeda taalay ee aad rabteen in kooto dibeda ah lagu shubo. Arrintaas ka fagow ayaan ku leeyahay. MS: Horta waxaan la yaabanahay wiilkan agaasimaha ee wax walba iska jirta uun ku cecelinaya, ma waxa uu rabaa biyuhu in uu godka inoogu soo galo? SB: Haddii aniga la ii magacaabo wasiirka arrimaha gudaha, waxa aan adeegsan Booliska, kuwan baraha bulshada ee gudaha dalka joogaa aragagax iyo cabsi ayaan gelin, saxaafadana gacan bir ah ayaan ku qaban. Markale aan ku celiyo, haddii aynaan Farmaajo iyo kooxdiisa hadda joojin oo arrinta gurigaan aynaan xal u helin afar sano gudahood dib la inoo arki maayo. AM: mid waan idinku raacsanahay oo Farmaajo doorashadan ogaan buu inooga hadhay oo guusha si dadban ayuu inoo siiyey madaama dad badan oo mucaarad ahi ku kacsanaayeen, laakiin waxaan shaki ku jirin in soo laabanayo isagoo la gelbinayo oo cod shacab haysta. Baraha bulshada ka sakow talo kale ayaan hayaa mudane. HSM: waar afar sanaba ma gaadhayee, talada aad hayso ii sheeg. AM: Mudane, koox kale oon HAG ahayn oo shanqadh badan oo xaga saxaafada iyo baraha bulshada inaga caawin karta ayaa jirta. MS: Cid aan madaxda mucaaradka xubin ka ahayn oo ina caawin kartaa ma jirtee ayaad u jeeda? HSM: dhamaantiin aamusa. Agaasimaha ayaan rabaa warkiisa. AM: Mudane, waxaan kugula talin lahaa in aad Raiisul wasaaraha dhaqso u soo magacwdo, saxaafada iyo baraha bulshadana xagaa u leecino. Sidoo kale haddii aad wasiirka koowaad u magacwso reer Puntland, iyaga ayaa dawlada difaaci oo hawl gelin taafeerayaashooda, inagana gaashaanbuur inoo noqon. SB: Mudane wasiir koowaad ma magacaabi karno ilaa aynu golaha wasiirada dhamays tirno. Reer Puntlandkuna waa niman dhib badane, waxaan kugula talin lahaa nin beelaha kale ee Daa...d in aad magacawdo. Mida kale, weli shuruudihii aanu karabnay wasiirka koowaad lama dhameystirin. MS: Mudane, inta aynu hawlaheena ka dhameysanayno, Rooble ha inoo joogo saddexda billod ee soo socota. Miisaaniyada sanadka soo socda Rooble ha diyaariyo oo waxa aynu rabno haku daro. Inagoo miisaaniyadii iyo qorshihii aynu ugu tala galnay sirdoonka iyo amaanka dhamaysanay, bisha sideedad wasiirka koowaad ha yimaado. HSM: Madax ayaa i xanuunaye, bal aynu waxooga shaaha soo cabno oo isku soo noqono. Waxa dibeda u baxay Mahad Salaad,, " Agaasimaha madaxtooyada iyo Sanbloolshe.

There were few guys in this page who always accuse me of inventing things, so for once, I decided to report this news while I was a fly on the wall of Villa-Somalia.

Samafal, why you acting dumb? you know a country where people assassinated without notice and bombs blowing markets , you need a competent director not a political hack deployed to insult and agitate inside parliament. the top five executives of NiSa came from different backgrounds regardless of clan. The young officers value the prestige their title carries and the salary. If you immersed with clan litmus test we will all fall?. This is the most important job of all in country where insurgency is active. We don’t need dogs that supposed to bark or campaign operatives fir the dear leader. By the way, your boy Dani is out of the race to be prime minister. It is confirmed

This fake professor has always been a warlord both in his words and actions. He can't even face few questions from the journalist.

In his first speech when he won the election, he said" there will not be a political revenge". Folks, this is the first lie this president has openly said by doing the opposite. Today, goons ordered by Mahad Salaad raided the home of former NISA chief Fahad Yaasin by taking security details including bullet proof cars and computers from his home while he is away. I know many among the opposition were mesmerized by the former intelligence chief while seeing every thing under the rock as a serpent trying to kill them.., it is a government protocol to keep safe former intelligence directors who have the knowledge of big state secrets. Since these people always flow the money, they are probably targeting Fahad Yaasin for the interest of foreign groups like UAE. This is not the first time Fahad was targeted including the attempt kidnaping in Djibouti while he was on board of Turkish airlines. Yesterday morning , bulldozers and heavy equipment attacked makeshift homes and residents in " Kaxda" district early in the morning by claiming to be enforcing by laws. These are Fahad Yaasin community district in Mogadishu. How about those in Shiircole and others places?. THere are scenarios that president Hassan Sheikh might not govern as last presidents, but he might be even impeached before the first year due to his tribal actions and greed. The news from Baidoa is Hassan Sheikh is trying to create new boundaries while abandoning the agreed upon regions. First, he is trying to create the Banadir state coupled with Lower Shabeelle which is part of South West region. That move is unacceptable to the people of KG and the indigenous population of Shabeelaha Hoose. By the way, this isn't the first time Hassan has waged war in lowers Shabeelle and even Hiiraan against the D...r community. A clan dominated national army militia attacked people in Janaale, KM 50, Marka and other places to uproot the locals. The locals resisted and repulsed that effort. Under Farmaajo and Laftagareen , Lower Shabbelle was calm and peaceful due to control of KG. Both the people of Lower Shabeele and Laftagreen will not allow to take away their ports and one of the most important regions which compliments the whole KG. Unlike Shariif Sakiin, C/caziiz Lafta is former RRA member who knows one or two things about the greed of those the president is backing. He told Hassan Sheikh that he will be taxing any vehicle that is leaving or entering Afgooye. This delusional president had the nerve to take Saransoor, the would be future leader of KG, and his HAG henchmen to Baidoa and expect flowers. C/caziiz has refused the entrance of these people to the lunch banquet or even the Badoia palace. The problem about Somali clans is that they are their own eco chambers, living in clan bubble and not even realizing the mood of the public. There are reasons why we have friends outside our sub clan circles or leaders hire outside their tribe for counsel and advice. It is like Farmaajo taking Barre Hiiraale to kismaayo, how would Ahmed Madobe react?. Now, this scenario of pulling Gedo from Jubba and joining Lower Shabeele to Banaadir is none starter. The D...r community from north, central and south Somalia will not allow this. Hassan Sheikh will only create more wars and strive. If that is the case, how about the other corrupt and greedy group called the D block? do they object these moves? . I don't know, but I heard, C/laahi Dani was promised to create a H...art state from Sool and easter Sanaag as one and half state. Some observers say that the corrupt Puntland elite will never let the Sool& Sanaag people go as independent states for fear they might flow their own interest and even vote against vthe wishes of Garoowe. Somaliland will see this as destabilizing and will join among those opposing Hassan Sheikh. Folks, while we are talking about Al-shbaab, security and state building this man is busy creating more tribal homelands for his clan. He might only rule from Galmudug to Mogadishu while everyone else is either objected him or stays away. If he flows this route, he will be probably be impeached or worst could create a civil war. Laftagareen isn't alone. He already objected the rumored presence of Egyptian intelligence in Mogadishu. He also has friends in higher places. Even the Americans are talking about integration KG to Ethiopian trade by building roads and trade routes to off set the Chinese presence in the region. Ahmed Modoobe want to get rid of Gedo from his domain , but that is impossible. Fear is already griping the Mogadishu. A friend of mine told me that military men with civilian clothes are robing cell phones from the people at night. Gangs are rooming free and so on. I hope he is wrong. Hassan Sheikh is out of touch. He appoints a dozen clan members and rushes to Baidoa where the wounds of the elections are still not healed. Traveling there is a good move, but why take with you with those who are political enemies of Laftagareen? One big thing that I would like to state is Hassan Sheikh should know from the beginning that he isn't supported by the public. Have you seen any spontaneous public support from Burco, Borama or Boosaaso? no. There were zero public supoort in Baidoa, Kismaayo, Garoowe, Laascaanood or even in Mogadishu, except those who were spraying bullets at night to the wary neighborhoods of Mogadishu, and we know who thoise people are. We thought that reclusive and quite man Farmaajo has to wait another four years before he rides back because of public cry ( Tolow waa halkii C/laahi Dani e dadka miyuu sixray) for his return. When I saw Joe Biden and company welcoming Hassan Sheikh, I knew he won't succeed, because if America supports you , it usually means the public doesn't. Waxa ka sii daran, ninkii Farmaajo lacag la'aani ma hayso, hase yeeshee N&N waxay tidhi shacabkaa guri u dhisaye. How can you you stop that kind of movement. We are building house for the poor and honest president who is renting a house means the guy who flowed him is a theif with half dozen mansions. Bal adba ka jawaab. I knew the selection was the most corrupt " Saylad" market ever taken place in Somalia, but I didn't know it might take down the whole system down this time around. WE might not even get a corium to approve the prime minister or even a secession of the parliament. Everyone feels to be a " false witness" and would like to either disappear or hide. Last two years of Hassan Sheikh was terrifying for members of the parliament with dozens who spoke out being murdered in a day light. You were either hide in your hotel or be killed. With Mahad Salaad it could be worse. At the moment , we are waiting his third acceptance speech. The first one was the night of the election, another one took place when Farmaajo handed him the presidency, and now we are waiting a third one for inauguration which might take place in an empty parliament chambers. Tighten your seat belt is the slogan of the new gang. Watch and and learn.

Somalia's New parliament only 70 attended in the first sessions
galbeedi replied to baala xoofto's topic in Politics
Those from Somaliland are hiding while others are in no mood to be confronted. It is the first time a parliament failed a corium in its first session. -
This could be the first president who wouldn’t start with peace of mind. reliable sources say that Mr.Lagtagareen refused Sanbalookshe , Ina Cabdishakur, Saransoor and others to enter Baidoa palace. His entourage was mostly HAG and few from KG. This president doesn’t realize the ugly tribal connotations of his moves. Why would you keep travelling with Sanblookshe the man who says he will only accept a HAG as a leader. It is sending a bad message, it is like Farmaajo taking Barre Hiiraale and others who oppose Madoobe to Kismaayo. well Mr. Laftagareen didn’t appreciate these moves . He even refused to accompany Ina Shakuur to the internally displaced people’s camps. It used to be Hooyada Federaalka to give headaches to the Mogadishu leaders. , but now Baidoa will be giving hell to those who think Somalia is Mogadishu
-
According to some former N&N, despite the nice welcome, meeting between Hassan Sheikh and Laftgareen didn't go well. The sticking point is mainly Shabeelaha Hosse where the KG leader want consolidate power. Hassan even demanded major positions for his clan in KG, but was rebuffed by Laftagreen who told him that he is a president not a tribal leader. At night he met with KG military officers without the presence of general Odowa and Laftagareen.

Mahad Salaad is destroying hay'adda sirdoonka
galbeedi replied to Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar's topic in Politics
I have no doubt that this Mahad Salaad will destroy NISA. When Hassan Sheikh was president last time, NISA salary was paid by various nations who had their own people within. The French used to pay some, the UAE, the TPLF and others. Under Farmaajo All that was eliminated and the finance came from one single source, mainly from Qatar. After bombing of their engineers by Al-shabaab through the proxies of the UAE, the Turkish brought in their people to figure things out. Remember that Mahad Salaad had accused NISA members for the killing of Ikraan, the girl that was missing before NISA confirmed her death. I heard many of the major files of the agency were were taken out before they fall in the hands of Mahad Salaad. Another major issue was that after major investigations carried out by NISA had discovered that despite the poor foot soldiers dying after being paid or brain washed, the major financers of Al-shabaab and the business associates are based in Mogadishu, especially Bakaraha. Time will tell if Mahad Salaad is here to protect his kin who are the financers or if he want to confront a clash with them. The talk i Mogadishu is foreign intelligence is filling up the hotels at the moment including Egyptians, Kenyans, UAE and some Europeans. One lesson Hassan probably learned from Farmaajo will be that Ina Salaad will concentrate his efforts mostly to stop motions from the parliament. -
This is probably one of the political strength of Hassan Sheikh to sit down his perceived opposition. Farmaajo would never go to Kismaayo or any place where he had disagreements. It seems Hassan Sheikh has confidence to sit down with any Somali. Also, there are rumors about an opposition forming headquartered in Baidoa. I even heard about enlarging the southwest to add Gedo and middle Jubba. Hassan Sheikh must stay away any group that is trying to unseat C/caziiz Laftagareen if he wants to have a peace of mind from the South west.

Have you ever seen in your life a prime minister carrying back and forth a bag full of money? one he was carrying them and giving to the gulf, the next day the Gulf guy with Rooble is taking back again by touching the dough.
-
unverified reports indicate that Wasiir Beyle was almost assassinated last night. An unknown assailant with gun told him that, " adeer marabo in aan ku khaarijiyo, oday Soomaaliyeed baa tahay warqada saxiix". The man who threatened Bayle said he was flowing orders.
-
With former president Shariif in charge of regional issues, what will be the job of the next minister of constitution and federal matters?, with Khayre in charge of oil, gas and energy, what will the ministers of petroleum and energy will do?. add that with the Czar of relieve, drought and humanitarian aide. To make matters worse, Rooble and his cabinet are approving his nominations. Hassan Sheikh might even wait for months before appointing a premier while Rooble is running the show. He could appoint the security chiefs without the new premier and cabinet. These are strange times.
-
This Ina Kahin guy is really trouble maker. He publicly said," Labadan Xisbi Xamar ayey u socdaana Xisbiyo kale dadku ha doortaan". He seems to be goading his opponents for confrontation. In fact, a lot of people in Somaliland need the reopening of political parties including proff. Ahmed Samater and others, but the timing is really bad. Muuse pushed for the election to take place last year where hundreds of thousands of people participated, and then after one month he said these parties will expire. In fact, the so called expiration date is December 22, one month before the presidential election in November 13. Muuse cant get away from this. He must hold the election in time. Also, this Cirro guy must be either a fool or naïve. How come he didn't realize the plot in Hargeisa before transferring the party to Xirsi Gaab. I agree with Saalax, this dispute is very serious, and the two colonels should give way for the election or things could go south very quickly.
-
I wish he appoints his premier as soon as possible in order to get rid of this Rooble who is still trying to be relevant. Today in order to take more revenge against those who were close to Farmaajo, he targeted foreign minister Cabdi Saciid for useless shenanigans. Why suspend anyone at this late stage while your sun set will be in two or three weeks. This Rooble guy is very strange.
-
Isn't this how 30 years old 30 million guy got rich by leading Turkish relieve efforts in Somalia. This is probably the only way Ina C/shakuur could pay his debt to that stupid hotel Aljazeera where a cup of juice is $4 dollars. Even Ina C/shakuur said, " Qoladayadii mucaaradka ahayd ee hotel Al Jazeera sanadka deganayd" few days ago when he was trying to justify and white wash why all the Beesha voted in one way. Imagine all the opposition and their entourage eating three times a day and sleeping in a hotel for one years. That is millions. Doofaar abidkii ma daahiro. Not even a week and the cronyism had started in earnest.

Xaaji, other than few who died during the harsh and hot mountain training, they are all ok. Eritrea not only has over 150,000 standing army , but every high school graduate has to preform two year military service. They don't need Somali trainees to involve the ugly Ethiopian war which will continue for years to come. People here talk about CBB and Framaajo propaganda , but the opposition has mastered false and ugly below the belt accusations including paying poor mothers to demand for the return of dead soldiers, or saying that there will be a coup in April 12, the army day. These soldiers are not clan militia , but from across the country.

Guys, Farmaajo has every right to prepare for the future. Why deny him the right to contest a fair and free election. In fact, most of his moves seem to be for the future. Unlike others who fly to a foreign country as soon as they lose the election, he stayed put renting a house or buying one in Mogdishu. Sharmaarke left Mogadishu the day after he lost the election to Dubai and came back after 5 years. Hassan Sheikh moved to Turkey , Shariif Ahmed has two homes one in Uganda and one in Turkey. He is leaving gracefully and promised to support Hassan Sheikh. I have no doubt that Farmaajo could win the next election easily whether we like it or not. Most Somali leaders only think for today, this Farmaajo had probably calculated his moves including ridding setting the bar high on financial management. His presidency had finished in June 2020 when he fired Khayre. Unbeknown to him, Hassan Sheikh has successfully planted Rooble, a a full member of Damujadiid as the next prime minister and the rest is history. Dani could have done the same thing by focusing Puntland and building multi party system and holding elections. If he had succeeded building institutions and enhancing communal harmony, he would have been a good challenger in 2026. As of now, we might never hear Dani in over a year while Farmaajo has great future ahead of him. Also, there will never be another extension in the country whether you are Muuse Biixi, Dani or Nadoobe.
-
Duufaan, if a vote is held HAG will be a minority in MOgsadishu. Within few months Farmaajo can proclaim the N&N party nation wide and push for one Person one vote. He still has a huge political capital to spend if he has the guts.
-
Somalia, the only peaceful handover of power in the whole region of the horn Africa and beyond. That alone is a huge progress.

president elect Hassan Sheikh will be the first ever president elected to office twice since the birth of the Somali republic in 1960. During the last 22 years starting from Carta Djibouti, a new name tops the list, and since 2012, unexpected dark horse comes from no where and wins the election. in 2012, Hassan Sheikh was unknow. He wasn't among the the top contenders. In 2017, Farmaajo was trailing as number four behind Hassan Sheikh, Shariif Ahmed and Cumar Sharmaarke. A friend of mine told me in 2016, despite the efforts of the incumbent president a new man with dark horse will take it, and it did happen. Now, not only Hassan Sheikh made a history, but also, he got a huge opportunity to do the right thing and a mountain of experience to guide him. President Hassan is known to be an able man (nin karti leh) who is among the few Somali politicians who never left the country. The main disadvantage of the " Qolqol Joog" is they are mesmerized when they see a foreigner with suitcase and they usually give away the whole shop. Hassan created Galmudug, Southwest and accepted Jubbaland despite early clashes with Ahmed Madoobe. He liberated Marka, Baraawe, Qoryooley and other districts in Lower Shabeelle with mixture of national army and clan militia. He signed a security agreement with Turkey to train Somali soldiers and both the airport and the port opened during his regime. Despite those achievements president Hassan was dodged by corruption allegations and grafts that reached international level. When of the biggest that made the headlines was the threat faced by the governor of the central bank Yusur Abraar after she refused to sanction the set up of a foreign (Dubai) account to deposit the oversees Somali asset recovered by international lawyers. Since the account will not be controlled by the central bank, but through one of the corrupt deputy finances ministers, she claimed it might lead to misappropriation or worse a theft. The lady was threatened and she flew from Mogadishu in the middle of the night. There are many other allegations including giving contracts to family members and others. Finally, those corruptions reached some western countries like USA which added Hassan Sheikh to the list of visa bans to enter America. These things are not disputed. Now, with full mandate and a second term ahead of him , does Hassan Sheikh try to clean his name or stay away any shady businesses that might damage his administration and weaken his resolve to move the country ahead? We don't have all the answers , but the indications are not good. Here is what happened before he even took the oath of the office. Technically, Farmaajo is still the president until Hassan Sheikh is sworn in which might happen within a week or so. That is why we call him president elect. He can have meetings with stake holders, regional leaders and even security chiefs, but he can not reverse any decisions taken by Farmaajo unless he assumes office. Yet, yesterday, Rooble, the man seeking to enrich himself before the end the of the clock, is using every trick in the book to take advantage with the blessing of Hassan Sheikh. Yesterday they got the approval of the court and the attorney general and without a delay they went straight to the central bank and took ownership of the $ 9.6 million confiscated from UAE at the Aden Cadde airport.. The president who refused the withdrawal of the money, Farmaajo, is still in charge, but the crooks went ahead before a new premier is appointed. The UAE said, they will leave the money for the current government to use for the drought relieve. So the money is taken from the bank and it is in the pillow of Rooble and the 30 years old 30 million man. I do not have a proof, but common sense tells me that this money is stolen and will be divided among the hungry hyenas who took the government since May 2021. If this money is given back, a simple cheque would have been written to the foreign government, and if they intended to give back, all they have to do is give back the cheque to the bank, case closed. But no, The boys want the cash withdrawn from the bank and deal with it. Here the finace ministry is not even involved. It is a day light robbery. Folks, this is corruption number two under the new regime of Hassan Sheikh within a week of his election. You might ask, if that was number two where is number one? Well, three days after he was elected , exactly May 18, where secessionists usually fill airwaves, Rooble and again the 30 years old millionaire who happen to be the security minister gave the contract to import Kenya Mira Khat to the country without no one noticing except those who chew. Muqdisho waa laga qayilayaa. The idea of allowing the import of Ethiopian Khat while blocking the Kenyan Mira was by itself one of the ugly policies of Farmaajo, but if these things should be reversed, then the elected president should have waited until he takes office. It is an ugly to walk on the top the departing president. Tradition teaches us winner should be gracious while those who lost must show class and congratulate the winner. To be fair, so far all the statements that came from the mouth of Hassan Sheikh seem to be intelligent, reassuring and honorable. Yet, the day light robbery of Rooble and company might damage Haassan Sheikh and that talk of corruption might weaken his future governing. If Hassan Sheikh want to have clean start, he must stop these people using his name to enrich themselves for the last minute. We already know that Rooble want to depose Qoor Qoor within a year and take over Galmudug. To achieve that goal he is trying to collect as much gold and silver as possible. He told some people that his clan is the majority in Galmudug and they need a seat at the table. The only way for Rooble to be player for the future is to takeover Galmudug and become one of the heavy weights. Yet, only God knows if he could succeed. C/weli Gaas went from premier to Puntland president, yet Puntlanders will tell you that he was one of the worst presidents in Puntalnd history. Deni will not be the prime minister. We all agree that the next 12 months are crucial for the political future of C/laahi deni. We also know that he is a formidable leader who doesn't take any prisoners. It is either his way or the highway politics had polarized Puntland, but the election of Hassan Sheikh might have sealed his faith in a negative way. Out of the gate when he announced his candidacy, he never mentioned his future goals or his platform for the country he was running to lead. All he said was : My intension is to defeat Farmaajo. It is the same empty, ugly and stupid slogan Somali rebels used against Siyaad Barre with no program or plans. Emotional people always make mistakes that will cost them dearly and difficult to rectify. Certainly Somalia needed a change because of the quagmire that started when that able premier Khayre left the post. Some might say that the goal of Dani and his supporters were to save the federal system from Farmaajo and the selection of Hassan would guarantee that goal. I do not buy that claim, because Somali leaders usually don't look to future that much, but concentrate for the current obstacle that is blocking them. Here are the main reasons why C/laahi Dani will not be the next premier. First, Dani has one of the negative approval rates among Somalis from deferent regions including from his home town of Boosaaso. Certain leader including Muuse Biixi, Sanblooshe and the Galmudug students of Hassaan Sheikh like Fiqi and Mahad Salaad who seek the limelight everyday come to mind. If you have to point fingers for those who insult others by using tribal language, Dani Ina Biixi, and Sanblooshe comes to mind. So, why would Hassan Sheikh bring someone hated by the super majority of Somalis including those from Sanaag, Sool and Bari? This week I have seen a small sampling of the people of Mogadishu being asked about the next prime minister and the overwhelming majority has said, " They don't want a premier pushed by a group, clan or special interest group". When you listen those voices, you will realize who they really mean without saying the name. Besides, with the history of Dani openly sharing state secrets with the public when he becomes emotional, it is a risk to be given to that kind of positions. Puntlanders used to better than this, but if the quagmire continues the later will be always worse than the former. From departure of late C/laahi Yusuf, all we saw from Puntland was fat and ugly men and Faroole. Second, Dani is an alpha male who might not accept subordination to a higher president who is seeking a plaint premier. Hassan had seen first hand the clashes with premiers including Cumar Sharmaarke challenging his to the seat wile he was the premier. He will probably change some of the rules before he appoints the prime minister. I would even ague that C/laahi Dani might not even allow a premier from Puntland who could take the limelight and the political power of Puntland from him. Furthermore, early next year the Puntland election is up and the chances of Dani coming back is almost zero. Dani, as he promised before, had defeated Farmaajo, but he will also go down with Farmaajo and we might not even see him this time next years. If C/laahi Dani isn't going to be the premier and will not allow one from the neck of his woods, who will be the next one.? Well, let me say that despite Hassan Sheikh, the other winner of this selection is Ahmed Madoobe. Those of us who were ridding the N&N bandwagon loved to hate Madoobe. Some of us who were looking for a foreign adversary to shift the quarrel among Somalis to other desired enemies, even wanted a war with Kenya, especially during the dispute of the maritime border skirmishes. Furthermore, we always hated those who try to weaken the Somali leaders through foreign proxies. Yet, despite all the noise Ahmed Madoobe stood his ground. Unlike C/laahi Dani, he doesn't pollute the airwaves with ugly talk or boasting to get rid of Farmaajo. Last week I asked a friend of mine from Jubbaland that for all this years, " do you have any statement attributed to Madoobe regarding Farmaajo?. He told me that he heard that after meeting Farmaajo in Garoowe and Mogadishu, he said, " The man I saw doesn't run the country, but who is running the country" Waar ninkaan arkay dalka ma maamuule yaa meeshan ka taliya?. THere is no doubt Ahmed Madoobe has friends in high places, yet, he has shown to be a man that can fight and reconcile when needed. When Xiddig and others challenged his election, he never threatened or allowed things to go out of hand. He eventually reconciled with his opponents. When a former minister oomaar went to Nairobi and proclaimed to chalenge him, those who knew him said, " This Oomaar guy, during the height of N&N with full resources and army, could not convince Farmaajo to target Bu'ale instead of Gedo, now with collapse of the government and the reign Rooble he will be a kid trying to play with adults". During the debate of Gedo delegates, Madoobe decided to block Garbahaareey and instead chose Ceel Waaq. Farmaajo barked, other spoke of injustice, but Madoobe stood his ground. We haven't seen even once to gauge his intensions or his plans. About ten days ago, he claimed that the Gedo issue had nothing to do with him , but the decision is rested with the divided Gedo community. That is the typical divide and rule. Yet, in hand sight some people argue that Jubbaland and Ahmed Madoobe could have the political base of Farmaajo. Since his communities faith is interconnected with Ahmed Madoobe, he could have brought them together and that would have empowered Madoobe and Gedo both. Unlike many leaders before him Farmaajo didn't had a base of for political support. He became hostage to Galmudug leaders who were not interested in government or rule of law. Most of his chiefs of staff, including those who encouraged the firing of Khayre were from Galmudug. It was too late by the time he realized. Forget Farmaajo, we are talking about Madoobe. Ahmed madoobe not only survived the war, but might even appoint the next premier from Jubbaland. There are indications that the next premier could be coming from Jubbaland. There are few names including Xalane who was a finance minister twice and others. The problem is how would the mother of federalism react with a premier from Jubbland?. Some might say that since Dani and Madoobe are allies there won't be any problems, but the disappointment of Puntland people in general is apparent. I don't blame them, because any one who sees Sanblooshe, Khadija Diiriye and Mahad Salaad government should feel really bad and proclaim: is this why we deposed Farmaajo? The best option for the country is to welcome the next Jubbaland premier as a legitimate man who has a huge base of support. But, if others belittle him and claim to be a HAG hostage, both him and the country will not succeed. Furthermore, in terms of resource, the Jubbland region is one of the richest provinces in the country. You got livestock, fisheries, agriculture and light industries. During the eighties, the military government had even created a ministry called " Jubba Valley" to build dams, water reservoirs and heavy industries like meat processing and sugar plants. Faanoole and Mogaabo were the biggest, but since we didn't have local engineers, the foreign technicians milked the projects without any end in sight. One things these elections and local leaders taught me and others is that those of us from the diaspora can't play with locals. It might take minimum of at least five years to for most of us to even grasp how the corrupt locals make deals. Ahmed Madoobe gave us a lesson how to conduct business without barking. He sits at the election table as quite guest , and if you are people like me , you will think this guy just an outsiders observing the Mogadishu market of selling and buying members of market. I conclude by saying if Hassan Sheikh doesn't clean the house and act differently, me might soon go back to Halene tent (Teendhadii ayaa dib loogu noqon).
