As long as I remember, being a soldier was the most hated job in Somalia, especially after nineteen eighties. Young men lining for that job means honor and a job these days. Turkish army is the best in the world in terms of patriotism and fighting , especially the soldiers. It is a great tradition.

Che, Turkey has commitment in both Somalia and Libya. They will never allow Somalia to fall back to anarchy or abused by her neighbors. They have invested so much resource regardless of who is the president. Usually after they finish Somali training they go to Turkey for Commando training. Maasha Alah.

Somali media should stop publishing national intelligence, state and military secrets. They should know the deference between politics and the state. They should self censor and avoid giving way military secrets. A tabloid type website called Caasimada publishes almost everyday the movements of the Somali millinery at the Kenyan border and Gedo. In today's edition they falsely talking about Turkey breaking UN embargo and shipping tanks to Somalia. There is no credible reports about any tanks being shipped. These ignorant fools are even talking about fighter jets delivering tanks ( Diyaarada dagaal oo hub sida). Like most southern Somalia news people, they don't even understand or proficient in Somali language. Diyaardada military oo kuwa xamuulka ah halkay ka qori lahaayeen ayey dhaheen diyaarada dagaal. War Af Soomaliga barta inta aydaan wax qorin. Whatever Turkey delivers to Somalia doesn't belong to Farmaajo but Somalia. Aqliga ka kora. g

Weli nalagama adkaan. ciyaari waa galin dambe.

i have to. Saw in aan timaha boodhka ka ceshano maahan. Ninkii aanu nidhi Xalane ha tegin sawkaa beeshii baasayd ee Lixaad amaratay.

And one more thing, premier Rooble should lead the government delegation and sit across the maamul gobolo.

Since this imaginary fear is griping them they might sleep in Halane and stay their until the conclusion of the deal. I hope they brought their own cooks to avoid being poisoned .

For most of us it will normal. We can live with Somalia led by Hassan Sheikh and will support him if steers the nation in a right direction. But for people like Madoobe and company , this is the end of the line.

Che, If these guys are serious about election they could sit IN front of Farmaajo in his office . We all want election now. One thing is for sure. If the opposition loses the election, they will be in the dustbin of history. You will not hear a warlord called Madoobe, and definitely you will not hear again Dani, Shariif Ahmed and Ina C/shakuur.It is do or die for these guys. The fear of Farmaajo wining is stretched from Kismaayo to Djibouti.

After they signed the agreement, we want to see who is the real candidate and who is the pretender. Mucaaradkani isma kor saarnaan karaane waa in ay soo kala baxaan. Doorasho markay timaado waa lakala yaaci. Nin walbow naftee. Let us see if Mr. C/laahi Dani is ready for real challenfe or will he hide behind Hassan Sheikh.

Real Somali security is needed in and around Mogadishu. No Somali president will target regional leaders who are in the capital for dialogue. I am afraid Mr. Deni and company might use the troops they brought to the capital for nefarious reasons. Waar nimankan lama aami karo waa in la iska ilaaliya. Waxani cabsi way dhaafsiisan tahaye waxay rabaan in dawlada meesha ay ka saaraan oo dalka beesha caalamka lagu wareejiyo oo ay doorashada iyagu qabtaan. They might attack the airport and create chaos. Farmaajo accepted the Halane compound meeting even though it demeans the nation. No one should leave unless they sign the agreements.

In this so called false gridlock, the contentious issues are minor unless there is something Farmaajo or the opposition is hiding. Farmaajo should know that even if Madoobe appoints the Gedo members, the majority will vote for him. Ninkan leh wax baa lagu shubanayaa miyaanu ogayn, the whole election is 325 ballots which is counted in less than an hour in an open televised convention. Agan, I repeat Farmaajo should let go Gedo and call the election. Dragging these more will only hurt him. tThe opposition will love the constant bickering and needling of Farmaajo daily. Even an elephant might die for a thousand constant needles in his body. Waa iga talo, don’t play the games of the opposition. If the standing of the country and the so called expired thing grows , it will not be blamed on failed politicians or C/taxman Cabdishakur who is deputized to needle Farmaajo daily’, but on you. Ummaddu aday ku sugaysaa ee geeri iyo nolol dhinac uun u dhig. Godka Villa ha ku dhiumane soo Bax oo ummadda la hadal.

Che, These are the evil alphabet rebels who destroyed our country with the help of Mengistu Hailemarium. Regimes are changed or overthrown for their misdeeds, but destroying the whole country until the last building is collapsed and its residents become internally displaced or refugees is a crime. Ma waxay na badeeb bay weli na hor taagan yihiin. The good news is half of each one of these men's constituents oppose them. There are more OG opposition in Jubba than Reer Gedo. Instead of former rebels, I would call them a new manifesto trying to steal power without winning elections. Waar doorashadaisku soo diyaariya oo garoonka yimaada. Xukun mudaharaad lagu qaadanayo ma jiree.

Boosaaso is abandoned by UAE long ago. Even C/laahi Deni, in an interviews with C/salaam Hereri, confirmed that since the assassination of the port manager, UAE is running the port from long distance by just collecting money. There is no resolution in that port at the moment, and since it is election season in Somalia, no Puntland leader will raise his voice this time.

Jamal is reporting directly and he has some credibility, but I do not trust anything CNN reports. They are liers with an agenda . Always.

Well, the withdrawal of Kenya from the court proceedings changed the whole game. Everyone is now in the bandwagon, yet a victory could enhance Farmajo's standing among the public. Somalis are looking some sort of victory after long defeats. It is phycological thing.

Isn't this what I said last month? These guys want to chase Farmaajo out. They want the election without him or non inclusive election which might lead to future problems of legitimacy. Inclusive election where the losers accept the verdict is the most important job of the Farmaajo regime. The president must not allow these things drag on. He should drop the writ and call the election. He should give Gedo delegates to Jubbaland and move on. Che, The issue you raised about MJ being the opposition might not hold when the election is called. A large groups of Puntlanders in Bari and Mudug support Farmaajo. A friend of man who was a member of the parliament during Shariif Ahmed and premier C/weli told how the clan factor usually doesn't hold much especially the first round. C/weli who was running for president in 2012 could not even get the plurality of Puntland members. Also Xaaji Xanjuf was saying that Farmaajo isn't getting support from his own region. I afree. This Farmaajo guy might rewrite tribal loyalty. He might more votes from Togdheer and Sanaag than the D block region.

Before they even started the case, they attacked the integrity of the court. The Kikuyu clan leadership is very corrupt band competent.

Waar nimankani waa ragga nabada iyo colaadaba yaqaana. Suldaan Cunaaye isku xisbi baanu nahay.

Saalax, thanks. Yaan la qariibsan hadday dhacdo xataa. One of the richest woman in Uganda is a Somali origin from Sanaag, Saalax's countryside.

Horta idinma weydiin if one plus one is two. As someone who is mastered history and geography especially Africa and the Muslin world, I wasn’t looking if Zanzibar is inhabited by the lady. I was getting some crazy idea from some west Burco guys saying “ Gabadhu waa HY oo gudunbuur or something similar, and since Saalax is our risident from Sanaag I was wondering if these were just typical Somali banter or something serious. Decades ago , there was a Somali from SNM Habro who was a foreign minister of Tanazania . You guys probably don’t know history .

There are unconfirmed reports that new president of Tanzania Madam Samira Hassan to be Somali origin. Her great grandfather from West Burco settled their in late 19th century. Saalax, do you know anything about this rumour

Hassan Sheikh has every right to state his case. He was the one who authorized the case to go to ICJ. The rest are flowing public opinions.

That is the problem. a broke Kenya can not pay back. Uhuru needs money to run again and change the constitution.

Mastermind, Horta nin magac culus wataa tahay. Reer Barina waa tahay baan u malayn reer bariguna dagaalka 12 nuuc ayey u yaqaanaan. I am not a Facebook guy really, but someone sent me one of his clips a few weeks ago. It doesn't matter if he was opposition or supporter. I like the way he he speaks the Somali language without mixing any foreign language . Waxa uu yidhi ninbaa asagoo salaadii tukanya neef waraabe ka cunay, maalintii dambe ayaa haddana neef kale salaadi casar asaoo ku jira neef kale waraabe ka cunay, markaasuu walaalkii yidhi, " waar walaalow salaada geela ka daa", hadaadse tukanayso tasbiixda farabadan geela ka daa" Waar Ina C/shakuuroow Siyaasada qabyaalada ka daa. if you are young and want to learn some Somali sayings and vocabulary I suggest to tune in this young man Kabtan Ayuub. furthermore, I really respect the real opposition who oppose Farmaajo. Tilamook is one of them. They genuinely believe they could do better job than Farmaajo does. They also disregard the unlimited propaganda Farmaajo is getting from every corner. You are also a car carrying opposition who want to unseat Farmaajo. Ninka mucaaradka ahi waa nin kursigaaga raba, sidoo kale rumaysan in uu kaa mudan yahay una arka Farmaajonin wax maldahaysa aanadse waxba hayn. I respect that. What I object is people who keep comparing him to Siyaad Barre and keep raising what took place 35 years ago. Also I object those who want be in charge just because Muqdisho Unaka leh. By the way, Maakhiri has been here for a long time and he is not a young man as you assumed. We welcome the loyal opposition who want to keep the government honest and keep their feet on fire, not the Kenyan stooges.
