Cadnaan1, You are correct. Waran Cadde is the same category. He was not only " Nabad Sugid", but some people placed him at the villa-Somalia beside Siyaad Barre the night before he left. He was what the security people called the senior guard comander of the night . Waxa uu ahaa sarkaalka heeganka ee habeenkii dawladu baxday. Waar dawladii way dhacdee meesha iskaga teg ayaa lagu yidhi. Now he is Mujaahid and extreme Lander in Hargeisa. Listen kid, when the bombs were flying in Hargeisa in 1988, she was out of the country. The irrefutable evidence is she prospered and did well under the Kacaan while her former husband was languished in jail. What I stated here about Dr. Edna is the truth,. Siyaad Barre had given her huge land near Asluubta in Mogadishu. Her big house in Hargeisa was built by Salxaan., but if you want hear say, here is one. I heard that she was informant for Siyaad Barre.

Before I start this article, I want to declare that as a Somali nomad, I will not engage anything that undermines the honor and dignity bestowed by our tradition to Somali women in general. I will strictly abide by that rule and only engage on the political side of the argument. Soomaalidu waxay tidhaa, nin durbaan tumay cilaaq dalabay. The reason I am writing this article is the false impression the Somali people took from the actions of Ms. Edna Aadan during the reconciliation conference in Djibouti last week. . While her defence of the secessionist cause might be applauded by those she represents, many Somalis feel that her over kill victim statements and description of Southern Somalia as a foreign land inhabited by murderers , could have been shaped by her past history of victimization at the hands of the military regime. Some even suggested that Dr. Edna could have been traumatized by the long incarceration of her former Husband and statesman " Allah ha Naxariistee" Mohamed Ibrahin Cigaal. Yet, the truth is further from what most people believe or told. Dr. Edna was one of the first Somali women to earn a degree in nursing and healthcare. She is a pioneer in her own right. Her maternity hospital in Hargeisa which was opened in 2002, has trained many Somaliland young women to be midwifes and nurses. The sun cannot hide her achievements in terms of healthcare and helping women. Dr, Edna was a person of privilege since she was a young woman. She was the wife of one of the most successful politicians in Somaliland and former prime minister . Unlike many who may have suffered during the war instigated by SNM in the eighties, she had a comfortable life both in Mogadishu and Hargeisa from 1969, when her husband was incarcerated by the military regime to 1991 when the Somali state collapsed. While she left Somalia in early eighties, she frequently came back, stayed and worked well with the military regime. She never suffered one single a day after Cigaal was overthrown by Siyaad Barre . In fact, as soon as premier Cigaal was booked to jail, Ms. Edna married another man immediately. Cigaal shared visitor food and other prison needs with the help of other relatives of incarcerated leaders like general Mohamed Abshir, Berda Cad and others. During the Kacaan years , she was taken cared of as those who were the closest to Siyaad Barre. The military government built for her a huge house in Mogadishu and when she moved to Hargeisa in the late seventies , the commander of 26th division general Salxaan was instructed to build another house in Hargeisa for the former first lady. To set the record straight she wasn't traumatized about the incarceration of then premier Cigaal. Ye, looking her statements and over exaggerated victimization and the way she describes other Somalis as evil, the good doctor might be over compensating something we might not know. In America, it is not difficult to discover the hypocrisy of certain right-wing politicians who accuse other of infidelity while they themselves were guilty of that same crime. Newt Gingrich, Robert Livingstone and others come to mind during Clinton Impeachment. In Somaliland, there are few actors who usually very loud on the issue of denigrating southern Somalia or showing extreme hatred toward unity or understanding. For example, Cawil Cali Ducaale, Dr, Edna Aadan and Faysal Waraabe, to some extent, fit perfectly to this category. Yet, they never suffered one single during the Kacaan years. In fact, they prospered during the military regime. Cawil was dishonorably dismissed by the civilian government of Aadan Cadde and Sharmaarke in 1962. The civilian government was elected, goal oriented and confident back in those days. Imagine, officers were arrested for a coup and after court proceedings they were found to be young, angry and overzealous. That government never even felt threatened and the court found them gulkity and dismissed them dishonorably. that all. Yet, today we see people like C/maali Coldoon and others sentenced and incarcerated for years by saying the current regime of Somaliland is traveling the road of failed regimes. It is all about paranoia and being the wrong leadership. Cawil Mucjiso flourished under Siyaad Barre as an ambassador in Africa. Faysal had worked for the state in different capacities for 20 years. Yet, this group is louder than those who have lost loved ones during the civil war or witnessed the agony of war. They could be compensating their past actions of being close with the former regime they despise at this juncture of history. Today in Somaliland everyone has carved his/her own history and story. Politicians and pretenders go on TV and record their own narrative with no one second guessing or correcting the record. The southern Somalis, except the few educated do not even know most histories other than the collapse of the state. One day some us might get the right resources and uncover about these false prophets.

Oday gooni got the point. This was probably a boy holding a party or a typical teenage girls holding court or dancing in clandestine place. Other boys probably had fled. In our culture, no ten girls would collectively agree to be owned by a boy, let alone in Puntland were the Somali culture is strong despite certain incidents. I would have investigated the ugly police who probably had broadcast false narrative to convict some one he dislikes.

He has a point. Farmaajo has no authority to appoint the Jubbaland leader. Either he have to accept the election Ahmed Madoobe crowned or reject it.Reconciling with Madoobe is fine, but the letter is illegal as pointed by others. How many people this Farmaajo guy have to betray in just few days. If he thinks the Habro in Mogadishu will give him votes he is dreaming.

Every few years Faysal Rooble puts on a different jacket in order to hide his agenda. We all know he has an axe to grind with Farmaajo. Just like those from Jubbaland who were supporting secession of Somaliland as means to oppose Farmaajo, Faisal Rooble is traveling the same road. Last week he was advocating the boycotting of local roads passing certain towns within Somali region of Ethiopia. In fact, the road was designed to pass through his own village, yet he was vehemently opposed for that same road to reach or pass another major town either for tribal motivations or jealousy. Here the so called Somali intellectual is accusing the Somali republic of committing atrocities. Rather than say the former Somali regime , he generalizes the whole republic. Since when is the name of Somali republic committed any crimes. In fact, the most horrendous crimes that took place in Somali history was committed by the so called Alphabet Somali rebels unleashed by Mengistu Hailemariam from 1978-1991. No Somali regime will be even close if you combine the crimes of SNM, USC, SSDF and SPM. Their victims stretch from Raascaambooni to Lowyacado. Just like the communist regimes of yesterday, we only hear the propaganda of the Somali rebels. Except the current Farmaajo regime, Somalia was ruled for the last 26 years by the same rebels who destroyed our country. THese people supposed to be brought to justice for their betrayal of the republic and the crimes they committed against innocent civilians for their tribal cause. These ugly and angry tribes were unleashed by one of the most ruthless and bloody leaders of Africa Mengistu who personally murdered two president and the king of Ethiopia. Yet for their all false sacrifices, they could not provide basic needs of the people like water, electricity or health care. For 30 years, they could not move the state to a better place. By ridding the Jubbaland horse, Faysal , like our Kenyan friend Apophis , had forgot his loyalty to the republic. Yuusuf Garad made some valuable points about the inability of the southern politicians to add northern unionists to the debate, because we know where the body is buried and we would dismantle the secessionist argument in New York Minute. That is why , we the unionists have to get to power and dismantle the false Babylon created by evil Somali rebels. Yet, Yusuf Garaad himself is a weak link just like many HAG politicians who doesn't understand the sacredness of the unity and the price our for fathers paid to achieve it. In one of his earlier blogs, he mentioned his desire for unity, but added, " Haddi ay go'aan ku gaadhaan in ay go'aan waan u hambalyn oo fasaxayga booqan". What many people don't understand is most Somalis including the secessionists know that it is impossible to separate, but if the issue became serious, expect the real war we were avoiding all this years. In my book, a small conference held in a dusty part of Burco in 1991,by group of rebels and few elders , guarded by Ethiopian tanks, could not dismantle the republic. I listened the speeches and as an observer you can not miss that Muuse and company are broke and they are seeking some badly needed cash. They just kept talking about the money that they supposed to get from last meeting, because by 2014, even Hassan Sheikh who was sympathetic to the secessionist victimhood story had realized their agenda was nothing but a scheme to get cash. The next few months will tell us if Farmaajo is willing to pit his foot down or he will circle the wagaon just like those before him.

Suldaanka, You could be etter e speech writer for Biixi, because the one he read in Djibouti was the typical he used to recite among Hargeisa crowd. It was not witten by his cousin than a proffessional . I thought he was prepared but it was speech for the crowd in Hargeisa

Folks, we just got a word from a member of the Farmaajo delegation from Djibouti. Since this news is from the horses mouth, I would like to share with SOL readers. He said, through third party that unlike the former Somaliu leaders Farmaajo get a full briefing from the unity commission he appointed about accurate facts and figures from Somaliland. He took with him a dossier not only about history of the region but also all the crimes committed by various Somali groups including the SNM. He siad Farmaajo is well prepared this time. He said the opening statement supposed to be just a formality and welcoming remarks for those who were present. The real negotiations will not take in public or open microphone. It will be behind closed doors. They asked him about the Somaliland delegation members already making accusations and inaccurate statements, he said, the old man Saleebaan Gaal has lied, and no formal negotiotions had taken place. This was just an opening statements and meeting of the minds. It was just the first dance and Biixi and company just spent their days complaining what Farmaajo did or didn't. They put their case in the open before even the game started. According to this gentleman those with weakness make the load noise. He also said that Farmaajo is intended to expose Biixi and company as outlaw groups that intend to keep the people of the north in unattainable situation for long time. He said if Biixi and company abandon the table without concrete solutions , they will pay a heavy price in the next 12 months. Folks, the main question is why Biixi and his group, especially the chairman of the Guurti lie about the nature of the conference and say, : we all done here and we are leaving tomorrow when the conference begun? You guys should answer that.

You are right kid. I am from Galbeed. I mean Koonfur Galbeed and I know few things from Somaliland.

There is a huge fear among the Somaliland delegation already. Both Saleebaan Gaal and Edna went to the airwaves to cry foul and act as victims as usual. Why jump to the media before the conclusion of the meeting?, because they can not sell any deal to the local agitators. Either this Yamamoto guy is a weak link with no teeth or this is just the beginning of the first dance. A country like United States of America would not allow people they bank roll to leave the negotiations table without consequences.

Oday Gooni ayaa hadalka dhameeyey: "Saleebaan-gaal, adna iyo muuse biixi waxba u keeni maayaan waana shir tacab khasaara. Khudbadooda dhagaysta markuu shirku dhamaado hadii alle idmo. Waxay oran doonaan si gaara yaan beesha caalamka u qaabilnay waxbaana kala socon doona, sodonka sano ee soo socda. Cadaawad aan shacabkoodu qabin bay gaalada ka iibinayaan waa macruuf la wada ogyahay."

# 6 minister of information Mr. Saleebaan Koore from Sool

Are we getting here many double twins of Suldaanka? Well, let me try to answer these questions. Let me start with the second one. These state you mentioned and Mogadishu have been circling the wagon for 30 years. Every Somali political arrangement was centred in Mogadishu despite its insecurity and problems. Rather than start the rehabilitation and pacification of the nation from the peaceful regions and gradually liberate and secure hot spots, successive Somali governments were forced to put up shop in hostile Mogadishu and spread the insecurity to the peaceful regions. If Garoowe is stable and peaceful why would a Somali president ride a tank and hide in Villa-Somalia where Al-shabaab mortars could reach him?. In fact, I was talking last night a guy from Puntland who told me that when Farmaajo was welcomed to Puntland few years ago with the most enthusiastic crowd ever a leader received, an elder told him to establish a second presidential palace in Garoowe and live part time and avoid the tank of Mogadishu. Since Farmaajo is paranoid of everything Puntland , and he refused. Cabdiqasim was advised either to go to Villa-Somalia and clear the gangs who occupied or settle Baidoa. Yet, he decided to settle in a Hotel in Mogadishu, and finished his term without leaving the hotel. C/laahi Yusuf tried to go different way, but the stakes became high due to many reasons. So, my friend, the so called regions have nothing to lose by relocating the capital. In fact, the people of Mogadishu will lose the billion dollar cash cow siphoned with the Nairobi based NGO's , but they might get a peace of mind. Besides, other than Puntland the rest are just getting out of the gate, and Puntland itself is going no where these days in terms of development and institution building. Every thought Puntlander knows that the tribal contract of 22 years ago can not go on unless real change comes to the Somali situation. They might not even survive another four years if the same status quo. On the first question of Somaliland gaining nothing nothing, I beg to defer. If one is in the diaspora sipping coffee Late, all is well, but for the average citizen, stagnation and unemployment is the norm. There is no upward mobility. Both Biixi and the one before him realized that after 30 years , they could not grow the budget little motr than $200 million which is pennies compared with potential of Somaliland. Without being a real nation, Somaliland can not export the huge livestock trades , and extract the huge coastal minerals and other resources . Somaliland leaders are tired of being governors while Somali leaders are accorded the highest level of statesmanship while they are debating village or town type issues. Did you hear Muuse Biixi firing the director of Hargeisa hospital and replacing the one he fired two years ago?. Why would a president of a country even bother to micro manage a local hospital? where are the regional governor or city mayor, or the director general of the health ministry?. It is the nature of the job of the governors. The people in Somaliland are tired of stagnation, huge youth unemployment and the useless debate of the elite that doesn't improve their lives. With a national capital in Hargeisa tens of thousands of the youth could get jobs and the bride that was lost could come back easily. THe people in Somaliland a decent people who prioritize peace and stability more than anything. The people even tolerate with Biixi and company who are doing nothing to improve their lives. Compare to the Mogadishu crowd who despite getting all the billions worth of infrastructure from around the world, yet do not appreciate the status given by Somali people. The people of Somaliland are tired of waving the flag with nothing in exchange. They are tired of their kids dying in the high seas after graduating from school. The only downside would be people the like our Suldaanka and others who say " Hargeisa Unaka Leh" like those in MOgadishu have to accept the new status. Look just Biixi at the moment. Everyday he is accused of stealing someone else's little blot of land. Habarta dawlada hoose dhul ka qaadato ama Mayorku boobaba waxa ay leedahay Muusaa i boobay. You guys might realize, but if the virus lock-down keeps growing many mayors and politicians will in Somaliland will steal land and issue multiple land licenses and others fraud means to survive. All that will be put on Muuse Biixi in the nightly news. It is happening both in Borama and Hargeisa right now. Biixi will leave the the Habro quarrel behind, leave the kids table and sit down with big boys as the leader of free Somalia. It is an opportunity that will never come back. He knows he will not get re-election and that position will be accorded to Chairman Cirro or who ever is the next leader of Wadani party. On the propaganda side, all you do is hired some of the old guard composers like Mohamed A. Dacar and the rest will be history. They will create a new " Waaba beryey bilicsan.

As you said the price might have been difficult to agree before, but now the equation has changed. Biixi will leave soon the Somaliland scene without achieving anything, Farmaajo is besieged by two failed presidents Shariif and Hassan. The best way to pre-empt the Mogadishu quagmire is to bring the capital to Hargeisa and resolve the issue once for all. The opposition in MOgadishu, especially the HAG dsection keep repeating about talking to Somaliland or treating them well. You know what, I ask Farmaajo to give the HAG boys their medicine and take the capital to Hargeisa and wait their answer. Meesha ma hadal lee maam wadaynaa noo.

The more things change the more they stay the same. I always thought if change has to happen, it should take place the first two years. Who is courageous enough to break the cycle?

Arrintu lacag way dhaaftay. The cash I was referring was about the donor money that usually passes through Mogadishu. Since all the principles are here , it could be big. Since the Guurti are key on some of these issues Saleebaan Gaal is here. He is 80 years old and knows few things.

I did not flow this thread for a while but it seems Mr. Tilamook probably knew the end game. Back in March when we were mesmerized by the the so called one man one vote , he wrote, ?It seems, the country is officially under another road map for elections. The security council has said “jump!” and our so-called representatives have obliged and said “How high?”. Well, we are finally reached that road.

Sukdaanka, who is the guy standing beside Saleebaan Gaal? Farmaajo brought the speaker of the parliament. Maxaa la karinayaa?

The three Amigos plus one. The Djibouti summit, convened by dictator of Djibouti Omar Ghelle , is not expected to produce any positive results for the three leaders of Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti. If history is a lesson, the only winner in this meeting will be Muuse Biixi of Somaliland. This Djibouti conference , dubbed as reconciliation summit between Somalia and Somaliland by Omar Ghelle, is nothing but a distraction from the problems they face in their own back yard. Each one of these three leaders are facing major issues at home, yet their problems are different in nature. Let us begin with the Djibouti dictator Cumar Ghelle. After twenty-two years in power, Ghelle is not going anywhere and he is not going to change. 70 years old men do not change at the end of their life time. Just ask Donald Trump if he is willing to change his gangster methods even after becoming the leader of America. Nine years ago when Ghelle was in the process of changing the Djibouti constitution in order to rule for life, an Arab journalist asked him about the protest at home including his fight with former ally A/Rahman Boreh. Ghelle said, " in this part of the world ---meaning Djibouti---the only ruler people accept is either a dictator or prophet and I am not neither of them". Djibouti under Ghelle became the most expensive island in the world. Just like New York, a taxi cab ride from the airport is $35 dollars. Electricity bills are a cash cow for the family and would cost the average salary of a family, thus everyone is trying to steal the electric and bring the wires to charge their fan in the heat of the summer. With a country with almost zero precipitation or rain and abundance of burning sun, solar panels are prohibited by the state electric power monopoly. A very small group of mafia style families control everything. These dysfunctional families had kept everyone poor and dependent. When people protest demand justice and jobs, he would say: look at your brothers in Somalia, if you agitate in Djibouti, you will be just like Somalia. Be ware of what you wish. As we speak there are huge protest both in Djibouti and abroad. Even in Somaliland, certain media and political personalities have joined the chant of " down with dictator". Since a large segment of Djiboutians hail from Somaliland, Ghelle might be worrying for his future , thus he might be asking for a political cover from his in laws in Hargeisa. Abiy Ahmed got a one-year extension from the Ethiopian parliament, but his own outlook might have changed since last year. The evil TPLF are preparing for separation and some even thing that Abiy might grant their wish or crush them which is a lose lose situation in either way. He is also worried about the Djibouti agitations which might topple the dictator and bring new leaders with different priorities. Furthermore, the so called Asab port of Eritrea long predicted to be the new Ethiopian gateway port is nowhere to be achieved at the moment. With the Somali ports out of reach at the moment, Djibouti is the main life line of Ethiopia and Abiy is trying to prop up Ghelle and show his support. Furthermore, it was the Ethiopian regime that brought back the Djiboutian pilot that insigasted the protest. Also, This week, when the TPLF speaker of the Ethiopian senate resigned to give boast for the TPLF agenda, Abiy appointed a Omar Ghelle ally to that position. This summit could be new approuch for both Ghelle and Abiy. Farmaajo, the lame duck president, will gain nothing from this summit. I was among those who put a lot of trust and hope in Farmaajo to move Somalia to the right direction and pull this country out of the political hole once for all. I knew the task was huge and difficult to achieve, and I wasn't expecting for Farmaajo to fix things just eight months before his term ends. Yet, I was shocked to see Farmajo failing to lead the next agenda and been reduced as spectator while other are plotting with his prime minister. A divided house always fails. The dispute between the president and the prime minister is already surfacing to the public. Since early 2019, Farmaajo was preparing for two-year extension and to prepare for free election which might allow one man one vote. In order to achieve that goal major regions like Lower Shabelle, Jubbaland and Hir-Shabeele should be cleared and pacified from the threat of Al-shabaab. According to insiders these extension terms might not have include the prime minister. According to my sources, Farmaajo wanted to establish the Galmudug state government in the summer of 2019 and select a new prime minister either from the Unaka community or from Galmudug region and gear for two years of extension. Changing the prime minister after three years and re-configuring the government to the new political reality on the ground is not a new thing. It is a necessary re-alignment. Mr. Khayre decided to drag his feet and slow down the process including the formation of Galmudug. It took him two years to finish a process that could have taken three months. Now, the prime minister allied himself with the opposition and rejects any formula that might lead to one man one vote. Farmaajo and company argue that almost every region except Somaliland could take the election including Baydhabo, Marka, most of South west region, Jawhar and Beledwyine, Galmudug and Puntalnd. Yet, no election could be held without first agreeing with Puntland , Jubbaland and Hir-Shabeele. The international community or the sixth community of Somalia is insisting that in order for the election to be legitimate and quarrel free , all stake holders including regional governments and opposition parties must agree on reasonable and achievable road map.Since 2004, every Somali election was accepted by everyone and no one is willing to hold a disputed or boycotted election. Now with the quarrel of top leadership, a man without no constitutional authority to pass legislation in the parliament had initiated his own road map for the election. Since everyone is smelling the blood in the water, there will be more sharks to bite the top leadership. Not only Mr. Cabdi Hashi the leader of the senate initiates his own agenda, he recruited the heavyweights of quarrel politics of Somalia like C/raxman Faroole, Juriile and Fatmaajo nemesis Fartaag. The question we are all asking is why a president with zero relationship with Puntland, Jublaand , Mogadishu section of Unaka and segments of Galmudug ,would fight the only ally he had left--The prime minister. Some would say that end game fights are always expected just as Cumar Sharmaarke went against Hassan Sheikh and C/weli Gaas run against Shariif Ahmed. Yet, I am wondering what is the next move of president Farmaajo? Is he going to fire Khayre and appoint a new prime minister who could maneuver the land mines of the opposition?, does he have any plans to involve Muuse Biixi for the future? What could he possibly gain in Djibouti today? . Unless he got a surprise card in his sleeves, I do not see any achievable goals while eight months remained in his term. Certainly Abiy want Farmaajo to come back, but he could not help him at this stage of the game. Also, the useless international community who foots the bill always try to initiate useless meetings at the end of the road. They will squeeze you when you are down. Farmaajo, like Omar Gheelle and Abiy will smile to the camera and each will go home empty handed. The same cannot be said about Muuse Biixi. Biixi will gain from the weakened Farmaajo. At the beginning of his term and even two years later, Muuse Biixi was the most venerable among these four leaders. Although huge unemployment and stagnation has deepened the crises in Somaliland, the people in general adapted to the status quo since there are no any real changes on the horizon. Muuse Biixi waited and waited until the dysfunction of southern Somalia showed its cracks. Since many Somaliland members of parliament are double agents, Biixi knows the internal politics of Mogadishu before it even surfaces to the public. Hargeisa waxa laga haya war sheegaya waar " Laangadhuhu inta uu dhutiyayo waa in wax ka qaadana." My sources told me that Biixi is demanding the renewal of the old new deal signed in London and Istanbul. Unlike Addis Ababa, where he met Abiy Ahmed without preparation, this time Biixi is ready to get his agenda through in Djibouti. In order to get a huge cash , Biixi will demand commitment and grantee from the American envoy and others before he signs off any agreements. On the other hand, Biixi also knows that a contract signed with a lame duck president with a divided house in Mogadishu , will not be worthy of the paper it was written. This game of chicken supervised by the international community and leaders like Omar Ghelle will be among many signed for the last ten years. In that case , I do believe Muuse Biixi will be the winner of the fake Djibouti summit.

The Russian killers could bomb civilians and lightly armed militia. Erdogan had spared the lives of the Russian mercenaries to leave Tripoli. The Hifter brigade had hired mercenaries from all over the world. The UAE had chartered planes around the world to deliver weapons from China, France and Russia, and hired mercenaries from Serbia, Madova, Ukraine, Belarusia, Russia, Sudan and Chad. Well the world's best were destroyed by the Turkish drone and intelligence. After the Turkish companies building infrastructure in Somalia were targeted by UAE paid Al-shabaab mercenaries, the Turkish intelligence landed in Mogadishu and started helping Somalia gather intelligence about the communications of Al-shabaab. Last month Turkish intelligence with the coordination of Somali intelligence had rescued an Italian aid worker abducted from Kenya. Soon Somalia will be getting some helicopters and drones.

The next major town to fall will be InshaAllah Tarhouna. Western Libya will be cleared of warlord Hifter and his rented mercenaries from Chad, Sudan and Russia. We already know that Benghazi , the main eastern city which started the anti Khadaafi uprising, is occupied by Hifter forces with the barrel of gun. Turkey backed GNA doesn't even bomb towns before it convinces civilians to leave. Turkey is playing the long game of winning hearts and minds. The Russian mercenaries who were paid by how much blood they spilled were no longer there. They were the ones who bombarded Tripoli residencial population. Since the balance of power is shifted negotiations would start no with Hifter but the Tobrouk based speaker Saleh Aquila. The Americans had just discovered trhat the UAE companies were selling Libyan crude oil to the international market including Venezuela and other Latin countries. Hifter basically blocked oil terminals to ship to Europe but he and the Emerities were selling oil in the black market to cover the cost of weapons. Don't these UAE tired of losing. From Syria to Yemen to Libya and Africa? Man these gulf boys( Bin Salman and Bin Zayd) were fooled by a;most everyone. Imagine the most sophisticated Russian new generation of anti aircraft defence, the Pantsir S-1 was decimated by Turkish drones. during the battle of Al Watiya air base more than 10 of them were destroyed. Each of them costs $14 million. Here is Pantsir S-1 advertised by the Russians. https://youtu.be/TjsUCQ_nH80?t=48

You guys see a tweet by a politically motivated fellow and asume he got the scoop. I have totally different take on this. Khada is a Farmaajo guy. It is a good move to seperate the party exective from the candidate. That is how most western political parties operate. Farmaajo will be the candidate of N&N. Khayre will not have any chance of winning. Mucaaradka markaan la shakeysanayo een weydiiyo: waar maxaad war ka hatsaan Muqdishu? kama hadlaan ciidanka kulaalaya Bu'ale iyo guulaha laga gaadhsy Al-shabaab , laakiin waxay soo tuuraan, wallaahi ninkii Khayre iyo Farmaajo way is hayaan. Markaasaan dhaha , oo sawtaad saddex bil ka hor lahaydeen ninamkii khaati ayey kala joogaan. Waxay yidhaahdaan markaan waa war lsa hubo. Waxa dad u dhaw Khayre ii shhegeen in Khayre Yidhi in aanu Farmaajo ka hor imaanayn inta uu Raiisul wasaare u yahay. Taratanku waxa uu dhex marayaa Jabhadihii wadanka dumiyey taagerayaashooda iyo Nabad iyo Nolol oo Soomaalida inteeda kale la socoto. Soomaalida iyo Jabhadaha kee ayaa badan? Waa su'aal da' weyn. Somalia needs stable and continues leadership for the next four yerars if we want to rise. We can not afford to change horses every few years.

Turkish involvement will be good for everyone including the Saudis. The Saudis will save money. They would avoid buying sophisticated military equipment they can not operate properly. Most of the American weapons sold to these despots doesn't even function. The $2.2 billion American Patriot missile sold to the Saudis could not shooot diwn the Iranian missle or the Houthie drones which destroyed the most imprtant company in the world: Saudi Armaco oil fasility. Both Hadi government in exile in Jeddah and the seperatist in South Yemen need an honest broker. The South Yemenis are encouraged by the evil UAE who want to fragment the country. The Houthis must forget about ruling Yemen by force while the majority of the popolation is opposed to them. The evil Iranians just complicate the Arab problems and inflame the civil war. They should leave Yemen alone. Yemenis need a caring nation that puts their unity on the for front.

He did kill and torture people in Djibouti. We have people here in Canada who were tortured with electric shocks. This despot might even destroy Djibouti. Family members told us that he is getting more overweight and sick. He did not even prepare a heir apparent. This kind of despots will not realize their demise until too late. This man is going to be many who died in prison in Djibouti. By the way he wasn't estradicted from Ethiopia. He was lured by one of his freinds in Hawala office in Diradhaba and then kidnapped from there by Cumar Ghelle and brought to Djibouti. This brave man said: do not cry for me but take back your country from the despot. 22 years is more than emough. Down with the dictator.

It has nothing to do with Hagbad. It is all about confedence. The Sool/Sanaag community have almost 40% of the Puntland parliament. To win the election they just need six more votes. The condifent one spends money knowing full well he might win the presidecy, but the timid guy who lacks confident will not spend the money. Yet, elections will expose a lot of things.

THe most hated word among Somali clans is election. It will expose the false numbers and their hubris. Nabad Iyo Nolol had declared their own party, and they are confident if one man one vote comes to on the top.
