Of course the Russians are more powerful, but modern warfare is mostly air power. These days tanks are nothing but a slow moving target, if Nato provides to Ukraine shoulder held anti tank missiles, these tanks strolling inside villages could be destroyed. Furthermore, the Russians didn't reach any of their goals for the last 48 hours. The casuality of the Russians are very high already, about 450. I saw their airborne asault on the airpirt which is very dangerous without securing the perimeter. They did take the airport , but were repulsed and retaken by the Ukranian defence forces. Yesterday they were targeting radars and air defence locations, but today, they were targeting and bombing civilian targets like hospitals and high rise appartments which means desperation. THey are looking a quick surrender, but if this thing drags on, as Che said, they might use more civilian bombing and level down cities. We hope this could be the graveyard of the Ruskies and Putin. Kust a hope.

If Ukraine slows down the Russian just for weeks, things could get bad for Putin. Here in central Alberta, we have the largest Ukrainian population outside Ukraine, that is why Canada is fully supporting Ukraine. For me, my biggest hope is that the Russian quagmire in Ukraine might free 80 million people in central Asia which Putin considers to be his sphere of influencence. Kasakhstan, Uzbekistan, Krgystan, Tajikistan, Turmenistan, Azebaijan and Beyond could be free nations with huge resources.

THe problem is Ukraine has a comedian ( Aw Kuku) as president. He was told for over a month about the incoming invasion, yet he hasn't prepared his army to delay and make the Russian invasion difficult. I see low flying helicopters that could easly be shot down, I see tanks strolling highways and rasing without fear. Trenches could have been built anlong the invasion routes, anti tank and personell mines spread out through the Russian entry pointed. The Ukrainian army is one of the largest in eastern Europe after Russia. Despite the air striles and missiles, the Russians will have tough time to hold Ukraine. This is a large country of 42 million people, and with the full support of the western powers and NATO, Russia could be bogged down in protracted war. Anyway, how foolish were the Ukranian leadership to fal on the proxi war between the Russia and NATO.

Exactly, I even heard that some of the ministers were using foreign passaports to get the visa, and Muuse Biixi will be using Djiboutian passaport for the entry visa. If someone in Hargeisa says he is a dual citizen, he will arrest them. Go figure.

Xaaji, As a diaspora resident all you see is moving pictures and hand shakes. Both minister Sleebaan Cali Koore t and Saajin ,the indusrty minister are traveling to the US with Muuse Biixi, thus they must come to Djibouti to get their visa.I could tell you more if yiou need.

There won’t any investment. Muuse and company went to Djibouti to get American visa to travel to the US. They are regular people like me and you going to the embassy and asking or begging for entry visa. that was the main reason of the visit

The Russian invasion the US officials were kept talking about for the last few weeks had probably begun by recognizing these breakway regions. This is real escalation by Putin. Whether frozen conflict like in Georgia or incorporated means Putin will fight for them. Ukraine must try to take back these regions while the west cribles Russian economy through tough sanctions.

Xaaji the old man said " waar xafiisyada ka soo baxa oo dadka iyo sayladaha yimaada". Real life is beyond Hargeisa, Borama or Berbera. Just visit the villages outside towns and see the suffering.

I won't say much. May Allah help the Somali people everywhere.

WAryaa BX, don't go too far. People are suffering all over Somaliland due to drought and water shortage. Go check Awdal coast were constant drought is taking place every year or even Sanaag or Togdheer. Due to infliation and economy based on imports, food prices are sky rocketing and people in major cities can't even afford to buy bread. Young people from the diaspora go to Hargeisa, where looted millions are spent and think live is good. Most of the young dying in the high seas or rescued from Libyan prisons are from Somaliland. Unemplyment is 75%. The war torn south has less unemployed people and stable food prices. In terms of politics , the parliament is based on tribal allegience not political parties, and when they vote, they do vote on tribal lines. It is small clan arrangement with Hargeisa as the base and few towns like Borama and Burco. Imagine if Baydhabo with Baraawe, Qoryoley , Marka and Afgooye having $300 million budget, and peace, they would be rich. Just imagine 30 yuears has passed with zero factories, minisclue infrastructure and 80% uneployment. People have been waving the flag for 30 years, they need way out, but the quagmire in the south isn't helping. I know bombs flying in Mogadishu makes the Hargeisa crowd think they had achieved something, but that is a flase comparison.

Samafal, isn't Muuse Suudi the one bringing camel to the outlaws just last year while his men still occupy Medina district? But I agree you about all these former officers dropping their security uniform and going to the parliament. Futhermore, I don't know where Somalis get the idea of " blanket immunity". Every citizen regardless of his title could be presecuted if the justice authrories have enough evidence or crimenal action had taken place. If they want to presecute crimes, I would start with Saadiq John killing C/rahman Cabdishakuur body guards without cause and warning. He was also former gang member who murdered innocent people. Rather than Ikraan case, if people are serious of fixing the Somali election integrity and government institutions, he should be investigated for bringing foregn influense and money from the gulf countries, and as such he will not be the only one. Coluding with foreign governments to influence national policy is a serious crime that could put Deni and many others in big trouble. In terms of Laandheere, look those fools from Hiiraan. From the ugly guys of Sanbaloolshe to Waare who never put foot in Hiiraan and other disgratled people like Godax Barre, all trying to keep the mess in Hiiraan because they bthink they own the place. Now, Fahad with zero clan backing had landed in Hiiraan thanks to the national army securing the God forsaken town. He is Laandheere by the state. Laandheerenimo qaranimo keentay ayuu ku joogaa, haddi kale Laandheerenimada beenta ahee ee ay wataan kuwa Hiiraan koobka shaaha ku caanayn waayey 30 sano ee dawlad diika ah wuu ka sareeyaa. Ninkii Qaran leh ayaa Laandheere ah.

I agree. I don't expect anything good from these corrupt people. Some had their maid and private driver compete against them. Somalia ma dhawa.

The so called cabinet was filled with crooks and thieves. The parliament is probably worse. Dadkaas baa dawlad iyo dal in ay dhisaan laga filayaa.

" EEdeysane Fahad" Mogadishu media is really ugly. No court had accused Fahad for a crime. Why not presecute Indhacade, Suudi and others.

Where is that fake prime minister who keeps threatening everyone with zero resulta. Baafin: Rooble

He elected Hassan Sheikh, but later Hassan refused to obey him. Fahad get furious and dumpped Hassan and elrevated Farmaajo. THe president should keep his freind Fahad or else, we might get another unkown man with a dark horse. Fahad waa Laandheere wallee.

Che, These Russians must let go their former colonies like everyone else. They stil hold the people conquered by the Zsar in 19th century, and those who were taken over by the Bolshivik since 1917. Not only Ukraine, but others must leave the yoke of the Russian bear including Azerbaijan, Khasakhastan, Uzbekistan, Dagesatan and Chechen regions inside Russia and even the Tatar republic. LIke Yugoslavia Russia must let go other nations. Putin murdered 80,000 Chechens , and he still bombing civilians in Syria. Having nuclear weapons doesn't make one superpower, heck Pakistan , India and others have it. I hope Ukraine to be the quagmire that will weaken Putin and company.

Xaaji waan ka hadhay boqortooyada, I wish they were hounrable. That is a good point. I was just reading an article by the British telegarph today, and they mentioned how Djibouti is becoming the Berlin of 1950's where the western nations faced the communist block. EVeryone is talking about the Chinese base. No one knows how many soldiers are in the base or how they even they landed through the air or by ship. The Chinese don'r intract with the local and don't leave their base. The western diplomats don't know what is going on behind the barbed wires and the concerete building.

Fahad I uu Laandheete Qaran yahay shaki Luna jiro. Cayayaanku ha ka Dana oo aan.

Kulahaa waa sawirkii ugu dambeeyey. they are making Fahad a super spy unknown to the people. Who knows , since the Mogadishu media made him the power behind everything, he could be the deputy parliament speaker and all hell will break lose accusing him of running the parliament

Most of Somali social media and other internet sites took the bait from the Omar Geelle family and proclaimed that an attempted coup has been foiled by the regime. We were told that Djibouti police chief colonel C/laahi Cabdi have been arrested and military chief general Zakariye is under investigation. Also a dozen or so officers were either detained or put under house arrested. Furthermore, the Djibouti budget minister was also arrested for authorization the theft of $1.5 million dollars from the Djibouti central bank. No one excatly knows the main reason behind these moves, but our informed Djiboutian friends beg to defer what the Omar Geelle family is masquerading as foiled coup. Couple of unusual events had taken place prior to the recent arrests. Few weeks ago, a recording of private conversation between Omar Geelle and the police chief have been released to the media. In the conversation Geelle was asking the police chief to deliver a threatening message to one of the opposition members. In it Geelle said, " Tell him that he could insult me or say whatever he wants against me , but if he interferes with my children and their business, I will put a pullet in his head". THe old despot means business. XAbad baan madaxa kaa saari. There was a debate whether the recording voice was authentic or doctored. Yet, the biggest dilema was how this private coversation between these two powerful men had been recorded and released. Later it was revealed that the police chief have been recording the enemies of the regime for the last 15 years. Unbeknown to many people in Djibouti, including the Geelle family, the chief also acquired a very sophisticated spyware equipment since 2015. The chief got the Pegasus Spyware which can be covertly installed on mobile phones and other devices These spywares allowed the police chief to track calls and have access to speakers and even cameras. The man knows the extensive actions of Omar Geelle including his dealings with Somali bankers who facilitate money transfers throughout the region, his connection with Biixi family and even the long going conflict in Sanaag that was difficult to stop. The Djibouti opposition says that there was even a recording of Geelle saying he either had to depose Farmaajo or assassinate him. Furthermore, all kind of nasty things by the Ivorian son in law of Omar Geelle have beeb circulating inside Djibouti for months. Since SOL is a family site, we will not discuss further those alegations. The Djibouti opposition believes that the police chief had recorded every conversation he had with the president and other intelligence officers close to Geelle and his wife. No one knows the reason, but he probably thought to use these recordings if his life were threatened by the Geelle family. Omar Geelle had killed many years ago Yasin Yaabe, the police chief before the current one and the chief of the Gendarmerie in mysterious ways. The former police chief had died in jail and the other one died due to suicide. His family said the man had five bullet wounds which is contrary to a suicide. As of now, the justice ministetry had released a presecutorial comunication claiming to be investigating " the police director and the budget minister" for the release of audio recording and other crimes.. So Geelle had issues to deal with. So, the family decided to take advantage of the opportunity to settle scores and prepare for the future. Despite the public appearances, Geelle is sick, old and weak to handle many internal issues in Djibouti. It is mainly handled by the wife and group of clansmen who are in charge of the security apparatus.. THe head of the republican guard, the military chief and the intelligence chief who are all cousins manage all issues pertaining to security. These Mamaasen men intend to eventually pick up the next leader of Djibouti. Folks, the internal power struggle of the family had started. The security men, with the help of the police chief want to install either the oldest son of Omar Geelle, Liibaan, who is a construction businessman not interested in politics or their own close cousin from the family. All that talk is only for future considerations when Geelle expires or incapacitated by illness. The wife wants to crown her own son whom she had with the former prime minister of Djibouti who is Affar. While Omar Geelle was chief of the secret sevice and chief cabinet, he forced the late prime minister of Djibouti to divorce his wife accusing him of being drank. Some say that the former Afar premier would not had accepted to divorce his wife unless Omar Geelle had some damaging information from the man. Geelle then married her . She had a dauther and son from that marriage. Now , Najiib Abdalla Kamil, the son of the former Affar prime minister is being groomed to take over from his step father Geelle. Just last few weeks he was appointed the " the director of the directors". A bogus title that puts him in charge of supervising government ministries. Soon, just like Hirsi Gaab of Somaliland and Omar Geelle in the eighties, this kid is going to be " Chief of Cabinet " . In order to rise up and prop his way, the Djibouti opposition is claiming that he was the one who cashed the $1.5 million-dollar withdrawn from the central bank while forgeying the signature of the budget minister. The minister had denied authrozing the money and claimed his innocence in front of the parliament, but was arrested this week. In order for the wife to crown her son, she must eliminate the old guards and the Mamaasan clansmen who are on the way. The biggest them of all is Zakariye Sheik Ibrahim, the septuagenarian general who is in charge of the army for the last 40 years, the head of Gendarmerie and the police chief. AS of this week, the police chief is under arrest ,and he has been already replaced by a close family member from Omar Geelle subclan. Zakeriye is being investigated and the head of gendarmerie has been replaced by an Affar man. The next move of the family will be to depose the so called , " Harsul Jamuri" chief with some new face from the family. For years, I used to hear how this Najib guy hated Geelle and might even kill him one day due to what he did to his father. The wife also might get the opportunity to remove the Geelle clansmen who denied her family the full control of the state. Yet, we have been all fed about a coup attempt by a police chief who was the only none Mamaasan seniour officer in the whole security apparatus. It is had to sift through the disinformation from all sides at the moment. Either the released recording of two weeks ago between Geelle and the police chief was a plot to frame the later, or as our Djiboutian freinds calim, the man has some damaging information from the family and he will either be asked to furnish the secret or die in jail. They usually paint the walls of the jail with some dangerous chemicals and the prisoner develops some serious respiratory decease and he dies within a year or less. Either way, whether he talks or not he is a dead man walking. Meanwhile the raw sewage is flooding Djibouti streets and public service salary has been delayed for the last few months. On the otherside, Tony, ther Ivorian son in law, is flying with private jet and has even brought former premier league players from Ivory Coast to come and play in Djibouti. If this corrupt family tries to hold on to power for another 45 years, Djibouti will collapse from their greed. In the late seventies, one of the sons of Siyaad Barre got a Yugoslavian girl freind and suddeenly he made ger pregnant and he wanted to marry her and bring to Somalia. The late president said: " Waar ayadoo gabdhihii Soomaaliyeed dalka Buuxaan miyaad la i odhan wiilkii madaxweynaha ayaa naag Ajeeniba guursaday" Wiilkii qandhuuftiisii bu dib y leqay. Djibouti waxa helay qoys gudaha ka qudhmay.

. He was a dealer before he became prime minister. He has certain western coroprate culture in terms of how he conducts his business, being early and making his supordinates accountable. Yet, as a guy born and raised in Mogadishu, the issue of national unity and and Somali history is not relevant to him like Farmaajo or C/laahi Yusuf. Hassan Sheikh treid to deal with Ahmed Siilaanyo and when he foundout the games the Hargeisa regime was playing he downgraded the relashinship and focused on the main issues. Personally, I do not trust Hassan Khayre on the national issues. He is a dealer who could sell many valuble things if he isn't supervised by a president. Shariif Ahmed is the same on these issues. He congratualted the north for 18 May day. What that tells you?. The disapearance of Muudey, Dalxa and CAli Yare and others might signal the weakness of N&N from the outside, but Ali Faqi from South West is coming and could take the speakership. It is realy hard to predict , but I would watch how Mahdi Guuleed moves. Whether he remains N&N or being bought by the opposition.

THere was this Somali cab driver in Calgary who picked up two loud Nigerian ladies. THey told him they want cthe losest and faster route to their destination. After few exchanges, they did ask him where he came from and told he wasv from Africa. Where in Africa they demanded, and he said east Africa. THey asked where exactly? and he told them Somalia. Did you guys know Somalia? He said they jumped up and said " Of course , we know your president Farmaajo who is one of the most honest president Africa, you guys are lucky we wish we had one like him instead of the thieves we have in west Africa. When he asked how did they know this? they said their NigerianYoutubers discuss discuss this and how kicked out UN crookes and others. Nigeeriyaankii ayaa leh Farmaajo ii Geeya. Of course, his foreign policy success which put Somalia in the map again, but the security issues and Al-shabaab threat is still present.

Farmaajo todobaadkan aan ku jiro waxa u bilawday sanadkisii lixaad. As they say , certainly time flies. This week we are entering the sixth year of the Farmaajo administration. Those who live in the harsh winter weather like us, we always welcome the coming spring with better things on the horizon. And despite what Rooble or others say, this election cycle might not end until the end of spring. We will be lucky if the election takes place around April or even May 2022. Yet, according to many , especially the loyal opposition, The sixth year of Farmaajo could come and go without any significant changes affecting the major issues facing Somalia, especially security. While the national army is taking back some towns in Galmudug or pacifying Beledweyne for the coming elections, no major towns in Jubbaland or Lower Shabbelle had been liberated by the Farmaajo regime. We heard the news about the Turkish trained Gorgor (The Eagle brigade) confronting and fighting Al-shabaab in central Somalia and South West regions, but at the moment, for the sixth year in a row, Gorgor and those who proceeded them haven't liberated any major towns. Marka, Qoryooley, Sablaale, Baraawe, Jawhar and many towns in Middle Shabeele were liberated by the Hassan Sheikh regime. Farmaajo sent soldiers to Gedo which was already controlled by the Jubbland allied forces, rather than confronting Al-shabaab in Bu'alle and Jilib. The later town is one of the richest towns in Jubbaland in terms of natural resources. Both the former favtory of Mareerey and Faanoole agriculture program is located in Jilib. it is central town that connects Baraawe, KIsmaayo , Bay regions and Gedo. Holding Jilib made the extremists much richer. Travel between Baidoa and Mogadishu road is impossible as well as within middle Shabeele and the capital. Any government institutional improvement made by former premier Khayre was destroyed during the time of Rooble. Folks, we are almost square one in many major issues. Despite the success of the Farmaajo government achieved in managing government finances, including paying soldiers on time and gaining some praises in the foreign policy, not much has changed in terms of securing in the south-central regions of the country. The country had been thrown in to wrestling political match since September 2020 which later developed in to embarrassing power struggle between the premier and the president. The polarization of the country is at the lowest level in the history. The selection process of the MPS had not only become corrupt and illegal, but also bizarre and comical. A similar scenarion of corrupt practises of selecting the members of parliament took place in 2016, but this one seems to be the record year with open daylight theft and overpowering those who failed to get muscle. The biggest theft of all had taken place among the northern delegates. Before these corrupt maneuvers and vote buying took place since 2012, The election of 1969 was one of the most corrupt in Somalia. Ballot stuffing, sidelining legitimate contenders and the registering of over 80 parties, destroyed the trust of the Somali public had in democracy and elections some fifdty years ago. No wonder in 1969 when the military took over the country , there were celebrations throughout the country and specially the north western regions where the late premier Egal hailed. In fact, Egal handpicked his men and chased out many prominent men who later joined the " Kacaan" as bureaucrats and leaders. I am afraid that if these shenanigans in Mogadishu and regional towns continue, the Somali people might rise up and reject the whole thing. That could set the clock back to another decadecor worse. As things stand today, most of the HAG politicians who encouraged illegal Inserection seem to be losing support. HAssan Sheikh is out of the sight with no meaningful support other than few pockets from the north. Shariif Ahmed is the Dahabshill, Buurmadow , Cabdi/Hashi/Samatar gang candidate, aided by Uhuru and Omar Geele . C/laahi Deni, who is the real challenger of Farmaajo is hiding these days and working behind the scene. The Dayano family aided by Reer Bari oligarchs had wounded him badly, but that doesn't mean he is giving up. Deni is a hard nosed man who is mostly self made. In 2016, Cumar Sharmaarke and company asked him to refrain from running for president to avoid crowding the field and splitting the Puntland vote. He refused and run winning 18 votes. Deni, as a card cayying Muslim Brotherhood member, he has no any simpathy for either C/weli or Sharmaarke. He could have probably kicked Faroole in the teeth , but the Garoowe based Aaran Jaan oligarchs are very powerful to mess with. Anyway, unless unkown man ridding a dark horse shows up the last minute, this contest is between Farmaajo and Deni. At the end, if the HAG want to get rid of Farmaajo, they have to swallow their Puntland antipathy and join the Deni Wagon. Ahmed Madoobe is getting many conflicting orders from Uhuru who is pushing him on one side and his buddy C/laahi Deni who fought with him in the trenches. On the other hand Farmaajo is ready to begin his sixth year with familiar faces. My sources tell me that Mr. C/caziiz Laftagareen will be running as the speaker of the parliament and Mr. Qoor Qoor will be the next premier under Farmaajo, and the kid named Cali Yare will take over in Galmudug the land of trouble. If the stars are aligned for Farmaajo, his next government will be led by truely tested men who have the same outlook and the direction Somalia should take. With Cali Guudlaawe setlling well in Hiiraan, the fourth man in the Farmaajo caravan is full. As we speak, again, the biggest losers in Hiiraan are the HAG branch of Hiiraan based in Beledweyne. They rooted for anarchy and supported the dwelling armies of the old general Xuud seeking some retirement cash another unkown fake general and Al-shabaab. When the healthy and good looking soldiers of Gorgor showed up early in the morning, the Beledweyne citizens gave the soldiers tea and milk. Guudlaawe landed and all seem to forgotten and forgiven. In military jargon, the way the military boys apear in uniform disarms the opposition in a serious way. Good job. Waxaad moodaa in dadka laka Ilaalinayo si aysan u wada hadal oo u heshiin. Kuwa Hargeisa jooga marka laga reebo Xaaji Xanjuf iyo xertiisa sidaas oo kale armay u soo dhaweeyaan ciidanka qaranka. Be very affraid Xaaji. Other than Jamaal, the current planning minister, C/raxman Beyle and foreign minister C/saciid, the rest of the cabinet will be flshed out with few ecxptions. If Farmaajo comes back, Deni will prepare his retirement, and Ahmed Madoobe will be replaced by OOmaar, the Jubbaland native who preparing his inserection to oust Masdoobve in Nairobi, probably with the blessing of Uhuru Kenyatta. Nin reer Gedo ah ayaa waxa uu yidhi, " waar ninkan Farmaajo hadal yaqaan ma ahan, karti badana ma leh, haddana dadka haddi cod laga qaado, isagaa loogu shubi, siday wax u jiraan?. Inta aanan su'aashaas ka jawaabin, C/laahi Deni oo dayaarad ka soo raacaya Djibouti ayaa yidhi, " haddii dadkan reer Djibouti oon weligood Farmaajo arag haddi la yidhaahdo cod u qaada isaga iyo Cumar Geelle waxa laga yaaba in Farmaajo guulaysto, Tolow dadka miyuu sixray? It is hard to answer why people like the reclusive man who hasn't done much, yet adored by many Somalis. There arec probably many reasons. here is few : 1- Most Somalis indentify their political leanings due to their clan. geograpgy or the past history of Somalia compared to the current climate. Everyone agrees that Farmaajo isn't a man known to be tribal. Even Reer Gedo will tell ypu he doesn't care about his clan. Even C/laahi Deni publicly said that Farmaajo might not be even a member of the D block( Waar ma hubtaan ninku in uu D yahay). 2- As they saying goes, " if talking is money, silence is golden". Somalis have been arguing for ages and everyone has his own opinions about evetrything. Suddenly, there is this man that doesn't say much, yet everyone asumes that Farmaajo is working for Somalia to atke its place among proud nations and his silence is interpreeted as no nonesense man working quitely for the nation. 3--In general, the Somali people see Farmajoas a clean living man that doesn't steal the public purse. Due to the work of Dr. Beyle, the international financial instutuions have praised the financial management of the the Farmaajo adminitration. Futhermore, the ugly moves of premier Rooble by focusing the UAE cash at the central bank, and the accusations of stealing public land, had semented Farmaajo's image as the honest president of the new Somalia. Yet, he most imporant answer that I usually give to the question of the Gedo man and Deni is this: The Somali people has been calculating and recording what those who destryoed the national government since 1991 has been doing from Hargeisa to Garoowe, Mogadishu and beyond. No matter how many evil that took place in Somalia in the eighties or the dictatorial system of government, people are nostalgic about the regular and predictable life they had before the upheavel. When I was in Mogadishu in the eighties as a student, I considersed that town to be my own town like those who were born there ( Muqdisho cid baa kaa xigta ma rumaysnayn). People are tired of those beating the tribal drums, yet couldn't pacify or create a system in one single village. After many false promises and stagnant systems of government with zero ability to move up or change their situations, People hate their own local leaders and would prefer a national government and FArmaajo fills that void. He is a hope of good things to come for many Somalis. From Hargeisa to Hiiraan we are all nostalgic of the days of the Kacaan, the Somalia of 1985. A man in Hargeisa says, " in 1982 we had water and we didn't even pay the bill because we we sivil servants, yet in 2022we have no water in Hargeisa although we are willing to pay" . Every Somali that is looking for national government is looking FArmaajo. Dawlada qAranka fArmaajo ayaa laga urinayaa. aNow what the alternative leadership rapresent in the eyes of the people? Here we asume that preception is almost realty. You say Shariif Ahmed and and what comes to mind? Islamic courts, Al-shabaab and chaos. While Shariif is a good man, he is the product of that chaos and without that is he won't be here. Waa kuwii masiibada iyo Al-shabaab inoo keenyay.Hassan Sheikh whom I consider to an able man who achieved a lot in very short period, including creating Galmudug, South West and welcomed Jubbaland, furthermore clearing many town from Al-shabaab, has serious credibility issues. We might be all tribal, but no one likes a president who sits in the middle of the clan and proclaims " Mudulood waa Qaran". Also, unlike Farmaajo he couldn't hide his financial transuctions discreetly, thus he is labeled as corrupt. Waa Tuug ayaa u baxday. Finally, C/laahi Deni has issues including allying with foreign governments to sideline Farmaajo and some obstructions of the national elections. Those are all political narratives that could be explained or projected as mere political attacks. Furthermore, there isn't much money to be stealed provincially compared the 2 billion dollar yearly federal budget, and Boosaaso port matter is negotiated by C/weli That is why I am saying that the only man who could confront Farmaajo in the public arena is Deni. Anyway let us hold the ugly auction and get over with it.
