This culture of giving shelter to killers is becoming normal among Somalis. I hope this is resolved peacefully.

Khayre ordered cabinet members like school children and spoke in vulgar way. He earned loyalty through bribe or intimidation. When the non confidence vote came only three members of the cabinet voted for him to stay including the national security minster who was representing the Cosoble men and their interest. The prime minister had zero support within the cabinet and parliament.

Regrets and concern are what America could only deliver. THey have no teeth. The weak man in Villa Somalia must change course and once in his life time a be leader. He has been flowing Uncle Sam for the last three years and they could not deliver anything other than few drones targeting Al-Shabaab. The world had changed, and America and company do not build things anymore, all they do is send social workers (NGO) and toothless failed diplomats.

I am listening whatever Xaaji Xanjuf has to say. He earned my respect long time ago.

What do you know anyway. You are hiding in your London lot without even checking the obvious. This is not a secret, it is known throughout the politicians in the region. Do you only listen to Radio Hargeisa. Everyone knows that Muuse Biixi had read the wrong paper, and after Djibouti made bold moves. The British flowed and approved more foreign aid especially the Somaliland fund while bringing the Dutch and the Danish. The British had told Muuse to resist despite the pressure and he accepted the advice and delivered. Why would the British spend all these energy including training and advising the security agencies without being consulted of any moves with Somalia? Stop farting and act like an adult. Okay?

Well, Khayre has been dragging his feet since late 2019. If Farmaajo can not secure the capital , he doesn't deserve another term.

He has seven months left plus one year extension. If the next premier can not get one more year , then let Khadar finish the term

Well, he could mobilize the security in Banaadir and clear Mogadishu fro Al-shabaab once for all. Forget about the election and create peace in loawer shabeele and Banaadir

It will be a natural alliance. Khadar can not get a vote of confidence from the parliament. This has has been always the plan before Khayre showed up.

If he shaves his bear this guy could look exactly like Khayre.

Or have a great courage and appoint DR. Bayle to the post. Certainly he will do great job.

Good move. Time for change.

I was trying to write this article a week ago when the cabinet was divided on the Dhuusamareeb issue. Half of the cabinet including heavy weights like Dr. Bayle, deputy vice premier Khadar Guleed, Foreign minister Ahmed Cawad, Jplanning minister Jamaal and others objected the moves Khayre made on the issue. Furthermore, like most doomed former Somali prime ministers before him (Cumar Sharmaarke, C/weli Gaas) , he decided to challenge the president and jump ship at the last leg of the journey. Khayre has been playing with the fire and was appearing to maneuver on possible challenge to the president. Three weeks ago, the president wrote a letter to the finance minister to save guard the treasury and notify the president and major government expenditures from the national bank. Dr. Bayle forwarded the message and informed that any major expenditure other than salaries must be approved by the minister. The bank governor showed Dr. Bayle a letter overidding his concern written by the prime minister. That was when I realized the long journey of Khayre to be over. The Farmaajo government and his leadership was faltering for the last six months. Since Khayre realized that he will not come back as a prime minister for the second time and was unwilling to push for an extension of at least one year for the government, he begun to slow down the government process. While he succeeded to hold elections and form a viable leadership in Galmudug, it took over a year and half to set up the Galmudug administration. Since Khayre is unwilling to extend the government for one more year to prepare the election, Farmaajo has no choice but to appoint a new prime minister. It is the duty of the next prime minister to gain the confidence of the parliament and get extension to prepare for the next election. Khayre must be praised for his quick acceptance of the new change. The agenda of the Farmaajo government was weakening due to the rivalry of the prime minister which was hidden from the public. Many of had head the rumors loud and clear, but were willing to hold the fire and wait for the sky to clear. The disaster at the Djibouti conference has shown the weakness of the Somali government. A British diplomat visited Hargeisa and encouraged Muuse Biixi to reject everything he agreed before the meeting and read a letter highlighting the British and former protectorate. The British diplomat argued that the whole affair was concocted by America and Ethiopia without their input and told Muuse to reject the pressure and promised him diplomatic cover. The farce Dhuusamareeb conference also had exposed the whole affair and their ability to agree on anything. How can you spend two weeks , especially for the regional leaders and one whole week for the top leadership and all you proclaim is to meet again in few weeks? It shows that there are no work, process or agenda going in Somalia and in Mogadishu. If a the top leadership, including president, prime minister, some of the cabinet and others could spent weeks out of their office without in worry of the job they left behind, you know there is no work being done in Mogadishu. At this stage, the next logical move of Farmaajp is to nominate a prime minster from Galmudug. The new leader of Galmudug Mr. Mohamed A. Kaariye , Qoor Qoor, has shown a great leadership and patience in peace and building the needed compromises among the Galmudug people.For the last few weeks he was acting like a natural Somali leader open to dialogue and brotherhood. His ability to reconcile with his opponents and even appoint some of them within his cabinet has earned him a great deal. The dusty town of Dhuusamareeb has shown its hospitality and its ability to host the current Somali regional and federal leadership. Thanks to Mr. Qoor Qoor, Galmudug is on the map for the right reasons. While certain politicians of Galmudug agitated against Farmaajo, its public , mostly abstained from any conflict and supported the president. While Fiqi, C/raxman C/shakur and others campaigned, most of the Galmudug people never took a tribal turn and have shown to refuse any open warfare. Some of my Galmudug friends say that they were tired of conflict since 1991, and are willing to concentrate on business and creating wealth. One of them told me that any new conflict in Mogadishu or their region will devastate their economic well being. In fact, others will openly say that, " we are not interested in power but on trade and commerce". When six members of the security detail of C/raxman C/shakuur was shot dead by Banadir intelligence members, they did not retaliate, but decided to be peaceful opponents of Farmaajo. Also, despite the agitations of the opposition, Farmaajo also was never discouraged to engage the Galmudug people and visited their region as loyal Somalis who should be treated with respect. The time has come for Galmudug to be rewarded with leadership. We have not a prime minister who hails from Galmudug since 1959, when late premier C/laahi Ciise held the post. Galmudug should be the natural base of Farmaajo and his government to move forward, thus its imperative to nominate the next prime minister from Galmudug. It is only natural. At the moment it is hard to point the finger to one candidate . The current crops of Galmudug politicians do not reach at the level of being prime minister including Fiqi, Mahad Salad and others. At the moment, I do not have a list, but my first choice will be Dr. C/nasir Mohamed. Dr. Abdinasir Mohamed is a Somali-American doctor who lived and worked in US state of North Carolina. He said his motivation to join the race was due to injustice, poverty, lack of strong governance and level of unemployment in Somalia.

Duriyada are among the beautiful ones. No debate.

I am really tired of teaching history lessons for these ugly Somali tribes who never learns. Ma gudnayaashan daadsan Xamar , Garoowe ilaa Hargeisa waan ku daalay sidii aanu marba cashar cusub u dhig u lahaa. First, In the years of 1987/88 in Hargeisa, general Morgan was not called butcher on thing close to that. He was called " Mooge" which means in rough translation " Absent minded", lost or don't know what is going on. In 1987/88 he staged a beauty pageant in Hargeisa theater were beautiful women competed for a price. Members of his entourage were trading business and contraband from Djibouti to Hargeisa ( Especially the Dhafoor qiiq). Unlike those before him like general Gaani, Morgan was a play boy interested to smooth things down in the north. He wasn't interpreted in military affairs. Some serious Somali military leaders believe without Morgan the storming of Hargeisa and the destruction of the city could have been spared. He was told about rebels pretending to be surrendering and giving up after Mengistu and Siyaad Barre made agreements in the IGAD conference held in Djinouti. Some 20 years ago a Somali historian and authority in the horn told me that weapons were smuggled openly with the busses and trucks bringing milk and people from villages outside Hargeisa ( Baabuurta caanaleyda ayaa hubka lagu soo qaadi jiray). THere were no check points to check these things. In fact, that historian believed that if the border were enforced and intelligence were deployed, the destruction of Hargeisa could have been avoided. The suicidal rebels entered homes, made holes through neighborhoods and created a guerrilla warfare in urban area. How could you dislodge a rebel who have no mercy for the locals and willing to fight in the middle of towns. According to him, these could have been prevented if simple search and seizure methods were used. If city perimeter were controlled, there were no chance of large number of men penetrating to city. THat is what learned general beloved then. After that disaster, the playboy general was revealed of duty. Thanks to his inaction a war was fought in the middle of civilians. It boggles the mind that a loser commander who was not qualified to manage major war theater in the north is still courted by Puntland and other D block chauvinists who should know better. What would a washed up general Morgan add to the Issue?. Morgan wasn't different than most ruling class losers and rich kids sent to get education , but failed to achieve anything. When I was in Dallas , Texas many years ago, I met a Somali resident of the city who narrated how a drunk Morgan, who were sent to learn the highest military collages in America, crushed to a toll collection booth in the highway in north Dallas. THese were people who bacame gerelas while their mother still feeding her youger ones. THe late Proff. Caalin of Sool , " Jeneral Hooyadii weli Caano leedahay Somalia ayuun baa lagu arkaa". 27, 28, 30 years old generals. So, since history teaches nothing to these fools, we have to keep writing and keep repeating the obvious that some might get a second thought. In other words, a general who was called , " Mooge" in Hargeisa in 1988, is called the butcher of Hargeisa today by the children of SNM, while the general who failed his duties and failed to defend the nation is feted in Garoowe and asked for help to defend PUntland.Is he the only general Puntland got? What is wrong with Puntland these days? Is this the begining of the decline? Liibaax Sanka taabtee iyo ragii la mid ahaa weligiina karti ahaan uma dhawa. Imisa book ayaan qoraa tolow?

Guys, Egypt is not the kind of country that could around places to build bases and project power. Of course they have strong military, probably top 20 army in the world, yet this Egyptian army and most of the armies of the Arab world including the Saudi, Syrian, UAE and other were built to fight their own people and keep the dictators and despots in power. I asked a former Somali army colonel, who was in the military intelligence, the possibility of Egypt intervening next door Libya. He said traditionally dictators or those who rule by gun doesn't like the mobilizations of army, especially large amount of men and materiel going out of the country and assembling neighboring countries. At the moment Egyptian army conscripts who hail from the masses can not challenge or refuse orders to kill innocent civilians or protesters, but if they have an opportunity to express freely within their comrades in the context of war, they will. A returning army have always men who are motivated and angry, and will do something with their trusted friends. That is what happened to Siyaad Barre in 1978 or Ethiopian ruling class in 1977. The butcher of Egypt was threatening to intervene Libya for weeks, and today, he changed course and said, " He will not stand idle while Egypt's security is threatened, and Will army Libyan tribes against the Government of National Accord (GNA). That is how week the despot is. Soon we will take over Sirte and Jufra without much destruction. Egypt, a nation which is not at peace within itself, and ruled by despots could not lift a finger. JUst like those in Mogadishu, Somaliland is ordered by NGO's all the time. THe so called election is ordered by the NGO's . There are no debate to improve the ballots, demarcate the districts or fix what went wrong last time around. IN the last municipal election, a party that had 38 members in the parliament found themselves without a party. At the current parliament, no one knows who these 82 members represent. THey are bought and sold by the ruling class when they need something to pass. So, rather than do the basic things and improve the rule of law and institutions , they are creating false narratives. I heard that the so called Taiwanese issue is nothing but a plot to bring these guys to mine minerals in Awdal and other places vacated by the Chinese companies who were ordered by the federal government and China to flow legal channels for resource extraction.

Suldaanka, That is good assessment of the advantages that could be gained from the gulf boys. Yet, these guys never give anything for mutual exchange of interests. They would have helped the Yemenis next door or the suffering Syrians. The day of reckoning for the gulf boys is coming soon. Bin Salmaan has been advised to depose his own father and take the throne before Joe Biden takes the helms of US Of A. Qatar is thriving since the blockade while the UAE has been defeated every where.

I knew the separatist st boys were desperate to get noticed by others, but I didn't know they were suicidal. Let me make few quick points here: First, Egypt doesn't need Berbera or any Somali air space to attack the Ethiopian dam. THe distance between the Dam and Egyptian border is almost the same as flying in the Red sea. Second , the separatists do not dare to welcome Ethiopian enemies in Berbera or any where else. It will be suicidal both politically and economically. Ethiopia could finish off this project in half day in so many ways. Don't they know that there are many people waiting for a Kurdish style base in EThiopia to do what they did few years ago. Third, Egypt can not offer anything to Somaliland in terms of trade or business connection. If they want to recognize other nations in the region, let them start with South Yemen. The Egyptian despot has no choice but to negotiate with Ethiopia. They had an opportunity to stop the dam ten years ago when it was started and while the international banks refused to lend money to the project for fear of Egyptian attack. Furthermore, any attack in Ethiopia will make Abiy a martyr and he might even use a cover to consolidate power and defend mama Ethiopia. Mengistu Hailemarium was desperate and cornered in 1977, until the Somali Galbeed war started. He used the war to galvanize the people, hold on to power and eliminate his enemies. An attack to the dam will be God sent gift to Abiy. If the despot Sisi want to play games like the fat gulf boys of Dubai and court who ever is detractor of Somalia, he should send an airplane and pick up Faysal Waraabe and company and entertain them for few days. He could even send a ticket to C/raxman C/shakuur and Ina Sharmaarke to boot even more. He can find another Raila Odinga looking few cash and some attension. THese Arab fools keep playing the same discredited old games. History has shown the gulf despots only respect power and those who steps his foot in their neck. Do not show them any mercy. THey pedal the blood of other Arabs to be irrelevant. Now you get our attention since we are all debating a non existent Egyptian delegation. Certainly the Landers love drama . They think being in the news and getting some attention is probably what the doctor in HArgeisa has prescribed. Now, you got our attention and it is time to go home and take care of the real job of feeding the poor and creating something real. WAar waan idin aragnay naga fadhiista oo ummadda maasaakiinta dhib kale ha u keenia. HUnguri wadkii ma arko ayaan maqli jiray.

We are not comparing Somalia and Somalilands. No one can deny the efforts of the Somaliland people to achieve peace and community building, but you can not compare to Galmudug or Banaadir infested by Al-shabaab

OOdweyne, THere is no bombs flying in Borama, Berbera or Hargeisa. There are already football stadiums in these cities. Tell me why these simple footbal games can not be played? It is not about money. In Somalia in the eighties, " Ciyaaraha Gobolada" players were placed in other families. People in Berbera can come to Borama and will be welcomed to play while staying with other families since the money is already looted by the minister or the so called : Agaasime"

LOok at the hypocrisy of the French. They bombed Libya to remove the so called dictator Khadaffi whom Sarkozy was the beneficiary of millions of in illegal campaign finance. In order to hide his crimes, the French leader pushed everyone , including reluctant Obama. Yet, he want to bring now another worse butcher to steal the resources. Today democracy and representative government is a threat to old colonial forces. Under the new Libyan government, the National Oil Company which is state owned and the national bank would control all oil revenue. UAE and their corrupt oligarchs will no longer steal resources. Furthermore, the French will have to give their stronghold of North Africa and Sahel region. A stable and free Libya will change the Arab world. THeir population is well educated and they already have enough infrastructure to move to the next level. For the last century or more, the Arabs never had anyone who cared about their well being, they have been exploited by everyone. Labeling democrats as Muslim brotherhood or other names will not stop the people to seek representative democracy. the GNA had fought ISIS and others in Sirte and TRipoli in 2016 and defeated them with help of Americans, and now to accuse them of being terrorists sympathizers will cut it.

Hargeisa is becoming what Mogadishu was in the nineteen eighties. A place where NGO and donor money is burned. Today in Somalia, the most expensive place is Hargeisa. People are leaving Burco, Gabiley and Between to find jobs in Hargeisa. THe poor is getting poorer while those who have connections are filling hotels.

The Amhara and Oromo population is over hundred thousand now. Walaahi Djibouti men had given up life, because of the harsh climate and unemployment. Also, those who born in Djibouti would rather remain celebrate than worry about raising family in tough climate. If Ethiopia occupies for just ten years and relocates a million, they could take Djibouti easily. Besides, today Amhara run most of the bars and service the foreign troops in Djibouti.

Let me answer myself. The same amount of time it takes to organize parliament elections. Which is 15 years and counting. DAdkan maxaa lugta haya oo u diidan in ay shaqo qabtaan?

THey should ask money for the NGO's to hold football games. YEt, the fake ministery of sports and youth has budget , a building , minister, general director, Xisaabiye iyo boqolaal shaqaale oo gobolada jooga. Isiduwaha wasaarada isboortiga ee gobolka Awdal, Togdheer iyo Daadmadheeh. THe game continues. What does it take to organize few football marches for ten days in the whole year.?
