War is somethimes the great equalizer. Certain things needs to be settled by force especially secession. And we Somalis are debating for 30 years.

THey are also saying that the TPLF is smuggling weapons to western Oromia. Abiy had alienated all main Oromo groups that supported him. Jawhar and Queero Lema Magrasa who led the uprising from inside. The main opposed released from jail and formed Oromo Federalist Congrees OLF rebels who relocated from Eritrea. All that is left is Amhara.

It that is the case, this is a big war to destroy the TPLF. How Abiy has allowed the northern command to keep all those military hardware? It seems Pompeo and America had green lighted this action.

Che, Thanks for the update. The Awash Post report summarized the whole issue. You also mentioned that Oromo s are exempted. Is that true?

And when you get to Baydhabo Jannay, you might hear this from the radion, so if you are a member of the D...r Woqooyi like our friend Suldaanka, don't feel surprised, because that is the Lingua franca in Baydhabo. Here is the legendary singer Hassan A. Samatar.

MMA, Warka waad dhamaysay, Mida kale Reer Koonfur Galbeed iyo Anaga waxa nahahay dad si fudud isu fahmaya. We are natural allies. Let us work to gather. The president for us and the prime minister for you guys. We can sideline the greedy Geeljire on these two groups.

I agree. No one should be given power through capitulation or bribe. In this case we are not advocating for gift, but to break the monopoly of the southern politicians who have been running the country since Carta in 2000.

Che, Oromo regional leadership and Mustafe Cagjar are on board. Abiy is using this war to takeover the system before any election takes place. He is accusing the TPLF for taking the power illegally. The problem is the TPLF have been preparing for this for a long time. I do believe that the key for victory rests with Eritrea. If they do not intervene , the TPLF could survive for a long rime.

This could be a long protracted war. I am rooting for stalemate . Dagaalku cabaar ha iska socdo, illaa laba saddex sano, inta aan ka soo raysanayno.

I agree. Trumpism needs a better person who could advocate for better trade deals combined by antiwar message.

The Democratic Party is very corrupt. What would a Hindu/black womani from California bring to the party in terms electoral votes. They kept talking about having a woman vice presidential candidates. The black people are 13% of the American electorate. If Biden had picked a white deputy from Georgia , North Carolina or Pennsylvania things could have Been different. Biden is Catholic and he got a Hindu Vice President. We’re are the largest Christian group in America—The Baptists? Obama was main stream Baptists. It is very strange to pick tor select as Vice President for someone who failed to even get 5% of the vote during the Democratic Party primary. Furthermore, the polling business has collapsed again just like 2016. Two days ago they Biden up 15% in Wisconsin. Exit polls show that Trump got 4% more black man voted for him than 2016. Also you can’t judge the attitude of the American people by the pronouncements of CNN which eats breakfast , lunch and dinner for Trump ,

The media will be the losers again in this election. They told as that Texas in the play. It looks Trump has better than expected.

If Abiy wins these war, we will be in trouble. The Amhara will be emboldened.

Way bilaabatay. The TPLF has been playing fire for a long time. If Abiy crashes the TPLF he will rule for a long time.

I heard that theTOKF is demanding new leadership from Ethiopia in order to join again, but will not happen. They could be digging their grave. I think , now the ball on the Eritrea side. Asiasus could squeeze his cousins and invade them from the North. That is the only way to defeat the Tplf by attacking both from North and south.

MMA, I am far from being MAGA , yet my main issues are different than what the so called Social Justice Warriors are looking. They are for apportion, same sex, environmental issues and some racial matters on the back burner. I These are not our issues. I am for jobs and jobs here in North America and peace and security back in Somalia and I want Turkey to be super power. Those are my issues. It was the USA which lifted Europe after Second World War from poverty through the Marshal plan, building factories, electric grids and agriculture. It was America that opened its huge rich market for Asian nations of Japan, South Korea and others That America is no longer here. America doesn’t want to build anything these days unless they are destroying things. So , finally we got nation that is willing to build things and create both trade and infrastructure. Anyone trying to bring down the Turkish axes is our opponent.

he is from Hargeisa.

Oday Gooni, Maxaa wasiir dawladeed soo dhex galiyey beelo shiraya? ma laga yaabaa in Farmaajo ka baqayo in dadkan la iinsanayo ee Muqdisho joogaa meel kale loo leexiyo . Ilayn madaxweyne ayey dooran karaane.

I agree. Texas used to be 65 against 35 republican, then 55:45. We Somalis are not interested in apportion and environment and other left wings issues that doesn't move our people from poverty.

Obama could have proposed a $300 billion dollar urban black economic revival and lift people from poverty. Yet he done nothing. Those hose who vote republican are rewarded nicely. Farmers are given $800 billion just for the last four years.

Holac, Some old British guy said something like if you are not socialist when you are in your twenties you have no hear, and when you are 40 if you are not conservative you have no head. When you have stakes in the world like property (house, business) you don't want instability of protests. With Biden's anti oil policy, we might suffer in this oil country.

Holac, Saxtiib thanks for the compliments. It has been a while. I miss Asxaabta SOL.

Holac, The Amhara will not face the Tigray directly, they will use others like Somalis.

TPLF is playing with fire. They have no where to run. Eritrea in North, Sudan in the west and Amhara in south. One year of blockade may finish them off. In the mean time Abiy has been weakened by the the TOLF. War is the only option.

Che, I wish. It is a good move.The D...r project could easily elect a president , yet the separatists boys lack confidence. This community have 75 members. Some in Hargeisa even said that they must avoid the D...r issues which may lead to Somali unity.
