Previously Al-shabaab used to take over bases from African Amisom armies and get a large cache of weapons. The good news is they have been repelled and destroyed. I hope this devastating lesson will keep them away from attacking these bases. Waa tiradii ugu badnayd ee laga dilo. Cashar ayey u noqon InshaAllah. Geeshkayagow guulaysta.

I congratulate for the victory of the national army , and also mourn the martyred soldiers who paid the ultimate price. This all too familiar Al-shabaab storming bases is unacceptable. Every main base must have a forward base or check points to protect the soldiers who are sleeping in their barracks. Bases in an enemy controlled area should always have patrols and early warning mechanism to detect the movements of the enemy. Our soldiers are too precious to killed in these kind of ambushes. While the evil Al-shabaab had lost a large number we also lost some soldiers including officers. I have seen the pictures of young captain killed in action. Ciidanka in base kiisa loogu yimaado waa qalad aad u weyn. waa in ay ilaalo isbedelaysaa mar walba ka horeysa. Sidoo kale waa in si joogta ah ciidanka Al-shabbaab loogu hayaa cadaadis iyo hawl galo masaafooyin ka fog xerada ciidanka. Furthermore, the national army should not publish the death of the enemy to the public. No professional army would broadcast live pictures of the dead enemy combatants..

I haven't seen any Somali army trained by EU or Uganda. This young general is doing very well although I never liked to quick succession he was promoted from major to general within 2 years.

The third rice of the Turkmen will change the future of world powers.

Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia under TPLF and EU have been training Somali soldiers for 15 years , yet non of them could be found . They come home and disappear or join their tribal militia after they have been denied any meaningful salary. For just four years. over ten thousand well trained and disciplined force have been created by the Farmaajo administration. The time has come for Amisom to leave. Farmaajo should ask Amisom to leave within the next 18 months. Hopefully within the one year extension and the next six months of his second mandate.

Same shananigans again. Speaker Mursal, it is time to vote. Farmaajo should go to the parliament address the nation and let the mps vote. Enough is enough

Mogadishu as usual the Somali capital of hustlers and crooks. When I came to Mogadishu as a young high school boy I was amazed how people hustle in the city. Inflation and cost of living was very law. A movie used to cost 2.5 shillings. Yet, if locals want to see a movie almost every night that would cost a lot. Since I was living in Xamar Weyne , I frequented a cinema called Shaneemo Super which played always long Indian films. There were other movie theaters like Cinema Xamar, Missione and Benaadir. My favorite was Cinema Benadir where they played, Italian dubbed Western Spaghetti, Politzia and mafia and other dramatic films. The first film was usually shown in early evening which was always full. Then the second show goes at 8pm. After everyone enters, people try to enter without paying the full price of the movie. The doorman collects one shilling and lets those who can not pay in a very discreet way while no one was noticing. A local friend of mine told me, "Waar Shilinkaaga Turro No". Which means take this paper wrap it with one Shilling and give the door man discreetly. , I put the Shilling on the top of the paper and tried to give to him openly. As I approached, and raised my paper, he hit me in the chest with full force with his hand thrown me to the ground . I was shocked and told the guys what happened. They said, "Warya Qaldaan waar in aad warqada hoos ugu laabto ayey ahayd ee ma ahayn aad dadka hortiisa ugud dhiibto". that was the last time I tried to cheat at the cinema. In another case while I was trying to get a letter from the ministry of justice for security clearance (Warqada dambi la'aanta) to get a passport in 1987. I went to the office almost twice or more a week and pay the type writer guy to write me an application (Arji) asking for clearance letter. A Banaadiri clerk guy takes my application and asks me to wait. At the end of everyday he gives me back the application and says come back the next week. After almost a month I kept going back and forth, with no resolution, and finally I asked a friend in Wardhigley for help. He told me to put 40 Shillings inside the application and came back later for pick up. I did and it was all done. I said, I would have given him 100 Shillings if he had asked instead wasting my time for over a month. That was the Mogadishu of yesterday and today combined with the open demand for "Shaxaad " which is originated from Hargeisa or Somaliland in general. Anyway the Farmaajo team has reduced corruption within the financial system. If Farmaajo want more success he should give the security ministries to the northern guys.

The threat of extension might force everyone to accept. But I am afraid now the issue is in the hands of the parliament and they will decide. Let us see what speaker Mursal and MPs do.

Too bad, it seems he was all along looking for perks and positions.

This is Somalia. UK or any other country can't dictate how Somalia conducts its business. How many times the British house of commons debated, changed and quarreled on Brexit? more than ten times. As I said, the time has come to put these countries in their place. Somali isn't a transition government anymore. It has a parliament that is capable of debating the issues and deciding its future. Oh, one more thing. We need to hear from Norway and Kenya, and how they feel about the etension. Ismaaciil mire AHN waxa uu yidhi. Xagee Fardaha lala aadi Tuurle Naaxsadaye.

The Somali parliament made mistakes by delegating its power to make the law of the election to regional states. Does anyone have a say when Puntland or other regions hold their election? No. The parliament should not be silent and watch one or two guys obstruct the nation for small pity reasons. This is the best time to bring the business of the nations from the hands of Norway, Belgium and Kenya. Waa in Sanad lagu daraa. Mudadaas sanadka ahna lagy xoreeya Al-Shabaab magaala madaxda Jubbada Hoose ee Bu'ale, ciidanka Kenyana dalka ka baxaa ama xuddud Jubbada ciidan Soomaaliyeed tagaa. Intaa waxii ka dambeeya Madoobe asagaa iska tegeya. Jubbada Caydiid baa xoog ku haysan waayey, Morgan baa ka cararay, Jubba Valley alliance baa iskaga tegay. Ma dhici karto Ciidan Godey ka yimid in xoog ku haysto. Jubba Soomaali oo dhan ayaa defen waa in baarlamaanka lagu soo xulo 4.5 .Beenta D block baa iska leh ma shaqeynayso.

Here are the spoilers trying to disrupt the business of parliament

The Somali federal parliament have an obligation to preform its duty to find just solutions to the current problems. They have more right and responsibility than the man controlling the city of Kismaayo. Whose voice is more important? that of Ahmed Madoobe and Dani or the collective voice of the parliament ? These are 275 men and women who are selected to represent every village and town i Somalia. Despite those who try to disrupt the business of parliament, the vote of the majority will prevail by law. They must extend the term of the government and move the country forward. No body can overrule the will of the Somali parliament. Neither the international community, nor the Un representative could overturn the vote of the parliament. IN fact the threat of extension will force to backdown those who are trying block the election it self.

Alah ha u naxariisto.

Xaaji Xajuf waa rageedi. Saaxiib dalka adigoo Hargeisa jooga halkaa ka illaali. Puntland will vote for united Somalia and would vote out these cry babies.

These were the same people that used to accuse Trumps of Twitter diplomacy. Alla maxa diqsi walba weelka Somalia ee banaan dalaq soo yidhi. Waxaad shar moodeyso oo khayr ku jira ayaa jira. This could be the year we would free our selves from this 6th tribe of Somalia called " Beesha Caalamka" It is dangerous and invisible tribe with deep pockets. They only show up during internal quarrel and put salt on our wounds.

This statement from former prime minster Cali Mohamed Geedi should be the blue print of every Somali who want fair election and peaceful Somalia. As he stated, one man one vote could have been implemented in Somalia. In fact, many places where rebels control a huge chunk of the country held election: Afghanistan, Iraq, Central Africa to name a few. Another proposal rejected by the regional leaders was for the individual selected by the 4.5 system to join a political party and the party that got the majority to elect the president and prime minister as a team. Tii ay rabeen ee loo yeelay ayey diideen. I think Mr. Geedi, as a loyal opposition member should hold a press conference and state his letter publicly.

Before I state my critic of this interview, let me state that I have always respected Cumar Sharmaarke as a decent man who is always measured in his statements and political pronouncements. Also he is not someone who seeks attention or the media limelight. I wish the interviewer would have showed some integrity by asking some tough questions and major weaknesses of Sharmaarke including the disappearance from the country while he was a member of the senate. He disappeared to Dubai since 2017 and never came back since. It seems like two guys complimenting each ather ( waa laba nin oo isku jiibinaya oo weliba weriyuhu hadalka u toosinayo Sharmaarke). The main points that Sharmaarke had made is about the role of the prime minister. He said the prime minister's office is political not administrative. That is totally wrong. While Somalia is nominally parliamentary system, its parliament is filled by people elected through tribal system of 4.5. If the people were elected through parties, those who have the majority of the seats would form the government and occupy the premiership automatically. In Somalia at the moment, it is the president who campaigns, it is the president who explained his agenda before the parliament, it is the president who appoints a prime minister that doesn't belong to no parties. How could Sharmaarke became prime minister? is he the most qualified , energetic or able? absolutely No. He got it because the D block was supposed to get that post according to the 4.5 rule. In fact, comparing to Khayre and others , Sharmaarke seems to be a low energy person that could not lift Somalia from the hole at this stage. So, in this scenario, the president is the leader and the prime minister is the manager or administrator. Also Mr. Sharmaarke flowed the same stupid claim C/laahi Dani and the Puntland elites keeps parroting which is Farmaajo is Siyaad Barre and he is leading the country the same route. Waar Siyaad Barre sodon sanuu mootan yahaye bal no sheega waxa wanaagsan eed Muqdisho iyo dalka ka qabateen een ahayn barakac, gaajo, ciidan shisheeye, James Swan iyo qabaa'il gaajo dadkoodi hayso oo diyaarada fuushan. Miyeydaan arkayn kuwayagan Jamuuraiyada sheegtay ee maanta biyo la'aantu Hargeisa iyo Borama iyo xeebaha ku hayso. Soomalidu waxay tidhii hadal xuni collad wax kama taro, nabadna waa fogeeyaaS Someone from Gedo told me that Ahmed Madoobe does frame his disagreements with Farmaajo as political not tribal although tribal issues are in the equation. He has a good relationship with most of those who are in his administration and he rewarded them handsomely in terms of political appointments. In fact, he insisted that the main reason they abandoning Ahmed Madoobe is mainly Puntland politicians and the way they frame the issues about Gedo people and Farmaajo In general by being dictators like Siyaad Barre and so on.. C /laahi Dani automatically is becoming the spokesman for Gedo, while Faroole says to HAG, " "waar iska soo erya oo anaga noo miyaada" In September of 2020, Farmaajo was overruled and he accepted the version of the agreement proposed by the regional governments, yet they decided to backtrack and refused to honor their signature. In fact, in September 2016, when the government of Hassan Sheikh and Sharmaarke expired, they didn't have all the necessary requirements to hold the election. When he was asked about holding the election on time during the summer of 2016, he said, " it will be delayed by few months". It was delayed by six months. Yet, no one said your time is expired. At least Sharmaarke had concluded the interview well by appealing for understanding and compromise.

These Nordic guys probably drunk to much of the hot water the night before or traitor Khayre is working behind the scenes. EU has no future in Somalia. We probably have zero trade with most of them and if they leave Somalia, they will not be missed.

Sheekadan iyo arintan kore xagey iska qabsanayaan. Ma fahmin.

Isn't what we all want ? Furthermore, they didn't mention Badbaado Qaran or all these Halaqne compound shenanigans'. Everyone is saying implement what have been agreed upon in September 17. They can form as many loosely named groups: golaha mushariixinta, Badbaado qaran and so on. Remember on the September 17 agreement there is no Ina C/shakuur or Cabdi Xaaji.

Yes I did. You and I agree on this. This useless Badbaado Qaran is nothing but spoilers avoiding election. What does it take to do the usual selection of the members by elders and regional leaders, seat them in Mogadishu and count the mere 325 ballots? Delegitimizing Farmaajo doesn't work despite their best efforts. So, why not tell us what is their agenda? Besides, this Cabdi Xaaji guy doesn't have any political weight other than the title. He can not convene the senate and move any issue.

We welcome one man one vote. In order to reach that goal , the national parliament should extend the term of the government for one more year. by the way, I isn’t the guys demanding the election should be held now. You can not change the horse in the middle of the race. The world will not accept games to be played again and agan. Some these Guys think the constant changing of the goal posts would continue. There is no more agenda. You must implement the September 17 agreement. Waxay u haysaan in aduunku ka yeelayo maalinba qorsha cusub. Dadkani in aanay xataa sitaasafi u bilawnayn oo wax la taliyaa jirin, warqad ayuu Ina C/shakur u diray Antony Billiken of USA inta uu dhaafay safaaradii gudaha. Doorasha gala meel loo noqonayaa ma jirtee

It should be done with one way or another. Make deal with him to make the election or eliminate him for good. The elimination of Madoobe could close the chapter of southern Somalia civil war.. We all know he is unrepentant warlord. Why a warlord ruling central regions of Somalia in 2021?.

“ Soldier being trained “ is the foundation of secure state. Why would tens of thousands of foreign troops from Uganda, Ethiopia , Kenya and others are stationed in Somali?. internal insecurity breads borders being breached and the country bullied. Why would a third rate country like Kenya threaten to to fly to Hargeisa or force Somalia originated flight to stop Wajeer?. Actually, a local guy who took a flight from Mogadishu to Nairobi said they have been welcomed warmly than previously. .Don’t be afraid of the strength of the army. ciidanku waa waxa ummaddu ku see story. Trade between Kenya and Somalia is one way, and Somalia from the diaspora were voting with their pockets. Warya Sawahili be nice to us or will spend our money somewhere else.
