I seems the translation is from google. It is odd way. I do believe that Abiy is a preacher compensating something to show how patriotic Ethiopian he is. Yet, the big difference between Abiy and the Evil TPLF is that the later always claimed to love Somalis. The TPLF welcomed us in Addis to cash in our money and business while stabbing us in Somalia and dividing our people. Actions speak louder than cheap talk. So far, his actions toward Somalia has been less interference. At the moment he is cooperating with our government and distancing himself from regional governments who used to go the Hajj to Addis. On the so called monument in Kaaramardha, as some people mentioned, he should build the Mengistu and Menelik monuments first in Ambo and Jima in Oromia country .

Kemal Ataturk was loyal and brave Ottoman. The Ottomans had many different ethnic groups living under the empire. His family were Muslims who lived in Thessaloniki, present day Greece. His later actions proved that he was an atheist who didn't believe in Islam, and decided to get rid of Islamic culture in Turkey. Yet, Ataturk was certainly the real father of Turkey and without him the present day Anatolia could not have been possible. The Ottoman Caliphate under the king was willing to disband the whole country and to be divided by Russia, France, Italy, Greece and other. The nationalist movement led by him defeated millions of Greek soldiers and others in the great battle of independence. Unlike Arab dictators and feudal monarchs , Ataturk fought, bled and almost died for both the Ottoman empire and Turkey. He was instrumental in the battle of Gallipoli in 1915 where half million British, French and Australians tried to help Russia in the first world war and cut through the narrow Dardanelles and cut through Marmara sea. It was one of the toughest battles that showed both the bravery of the British and Turkish soldiers. Ataturk was wounded in that war. He also fought in LIbya when the Italians invaded and he commanded 6,000 guerrilla forces against 100,000 Italians. It doesn't matter if he was Jewish or Kurd, but he was and still is the hero and father of the Turkish nation. Other than probably Naser , None of the Arab regimes of the gulf or surrounding regions had produced one single leader who cared about his nation and people. Having said that development and building things are not a secret that only few nations know. THere are many successful models to be copied. In the developed western nations, development and nation building had ceased long ago. Here in Canada , we can not even build a simple pipeline to transport oil. The native Indians had to bribed , and the useless environment kids are making noises without knowing the cost to the nation. The cost of doing business and building things are huge. The western model is not even remotely possible in the developing countries.Somalis might learn to work if they get paid reasonable wages. Other than few Hawala business it hard to find people getting paid on time for their labour. Somali employers both government and private business do not pay their people for months, it is part of the culture. It is one of the major reasons pushing people to leave the country. THere is almost no difference between those who have jobs and the unemployed.

Guys, there is something strange going on. THe Somali and Kenya border might might be moved to deep inside Kenya. Schools are closed and thousands of Sawahili teachers left the region for fear. Kenya could be better of if they let go NFD now. Walee Somalida Kenya waa Gob. Dagaal hadduu bilowdo xabada xaag ayey u ridayaan.

Oday Gooni, Dadka magafuhu ku dhacayo saxaaraha LIbya, iyo wiilasha iyo gabdhaha badaha ku dhimanaya, dadka ugu badani Burco iyo Boorama ayey ka tegeen. Ninkan London casiirka ku cabaya, caynaanka hay ayaa la yidhi oo waa " Gaas dhagoole" . Cid dhimanaysa waxba kama gelin ama Gedo ha joogto ama Gabiley.

It is very strange that a Somali election in a small Somali dusty town (No offence for Baidoa here) is covered by Washington post in favour of former terrorist and killer Mukhtar Robow. According to this spy and the so called monitoring group that was the most newsworthy event in Somalia. That must tell you something. Did they ever mention the sham election in JUbba boycoted by the opposition? I do not think so.

Haatu, Don't pay attention to OOdweyne, he can not see beyond the Al-shabaab or his paranoia of one day losing and holding empty bag. As they say revolutions eat their own children , and I have no doubt he will be a victim. many nations are using all kind of methods and strategies to create wealth and prosperity. I was always wondered how the Chinese were able to invest billions if not trillions of Yuan for the world class infrastructure they have built. Chinese cities , highways, electric grid and transportation systems are more advanced than the most developed nations of the west. As you said if they get back some money from the investment and write off the rest of the loans, that is a very clever way of doing things. Selling government bonds to finance projects or use for development is something many nations use today. Even cash strapped Greece sells government bonds Printing money , especially more than the economy can handle usually creates inflation. As you said printing by itself is peanuts. The world had changed both its approach of development, industrialization and infrastructure building. What took 30 or 40 years or more to develop and create modern infrastructure and towns in Europe , is taking less than a decade in China, Malaysia and even ERdogan's Turkey. THe old economic solutions of seventies or eighties are out of the window. That is why you need a new idea or people who think out of the box. Building the nation through donor funds whether it is the army or infrastructure is recipe for failure. While C/raxman Bayle and others are doing just fine, they are old dogs trained to sit and stand by their owners (Old economic systems). While I do not know much about currency and banks, I have some inside knowledge about two major points you raised. And The Hawala thing might not be there for another decade. The new generation of Somalis who grew up in the west will not be sending any money back home. THey don't understand the concept of sending money every moths to relatives. So, it is important to implement this development tax quickly. The 5% tax will be deducted from the recipient and the Hwala companies will transfer the money directly to the national treasury. It is not their money, they are just collecting the taxes through their transaction point. 2 billion dollars of Hawala will fetch $ 100 million dollars a year. Export promotion is what built many nations especially the Asian tigers. Even Ethiopia of Males Zenawi started the whole economy on two things. Infrastructure building and export oriented economy. Early last year when I went to Addis , I have met some business people who export coffee beans and animal skin ( Hargaha). THey told me that almost all exported goods are guaranteed by export bank created by the government. Every year milliuons of dollars are lost from Somali livestock traders by unscrupulous dealers from the gulf. AS we speak a thousands of livestock from Somaliland are refused and shipped back. An export bank will make the connections and pay the local traders as soon as these livestocks leave the dock. Our sheep, goats and cows might be even more expensive than the barrel of oil. THe average sheep is $80 dollars and the cow 200. If we send 10 million of these, we could earn close to a billion of hard currency. 20 years ago, as a taxi cab driver , I picked a guy from the airport who flew from Shenzhen, China. This was when China was accelerating its manufacturing capacity around the world. The guy told me that the Chinese were putting a coal fired plant for electricity,, huge industrial warehouse, hotels and telephone for the international traders. Everyone went to China and set up shop. The Chinese garment industry alone is $170 billion a year. Certainly we can not do things the old way. WE need to modernize and build things within a decade. Yet, if our leaders keep listening the foreign aid group and their advice , we won't go far. Ethiopia abandoned IMF and World bank in 2004 and started building its huge infrastructure through CHina and others.

OO, No one will be shedding any tears for Illey. He abused his own people on behalf of the TPLF. Abiy will be ruling Ethiopia for the next ten years.You better get to the program before it is too late.

THere is no fear here. They will not get back the contract. What they are suing is to get back their investment or lost revenue, In fact,, Djibouti offered them their share of investment. This is not like assets or private company being nationalized. It is government annulling a contract and willing to deal the loses. DP World is not coming back. They built empty runways which was intended to use for bombing raids in Yemen and we all know how that war is concluded when UAE abandoned Yemen for fear of Iran. They got Berbera port just for 5 million dollars a year. THey supposed to built Berbera -Wajaale road but all that is gone. Shantii million ee 2018 Siilaanyo kooxgiisii ayaa hore kirada u sii qadimatay.

They rall, tough and fearless. Now i know wgu Kenya objected America and Turkey training Somali army. Did you guys heard that the most loud spoken opposition leader Ina C/shakuur said, " The Turkish should stop training rge Somali army" Rather than criticize the method the soldiers used , he is asking ro stop the rebuilding of the army. The fool doesn't understand that if he becomes president these are the forces he might need to defeat Al-shabaab.

Farah Macalin made our case clear. I have no doubt Madoobe is doomed. These N&N guys have defeated the old dinosaurs of Somali politics. They get rid of Jawaari , the man who used to dump prime ministers for cash, then Shariif Sakiin, the man who who became dealer and wheeler of Somali election since 2004. Xaaf is finished and Soon Waare of Hiiraan will follow soon. Madoobe is doomed, I have no doubt. A local Ptof. who consults the federal government told me last weekend that ' Farmaajo waa nin farsamo badan" . He is acting like slow guy just like george Bush . but deep down he is sophisticated. He want his enemies to underestimate him. These people Khayre and Farmaajo are Reer Banaadir. They do not bark like most of us Reer Woqoyi or those in central Somalia. They are taking care of business quietly without noise.

Madoobe and Kenya are becoming public enemy number one. Now, Madoobe and his militia must be defeated. The people of NFD must be armed so they could defend themselves from outlaws of Jubbaland.

It looks like the Kenyan leadership had lost their mind. They have thousands of teachers abandoning their jobs not only Mandera county but also two others , yet they are picking fight with the Somali state. If schools close and people become hopeless, Al-shabaab and other will take advantage. According to the first video, the local leadership had warned the Kenyan government about the threat of the JUbbland outlaws, yet haven't done anything.

The 5th congressional district in Minnesota is a save democratic seat. Certainly Ilhan Omar will face a tough primary from her own party. DEspite some missteps , I believe she could win the Somali vote . She is still has has a chance to repair some of the damages in her image. You do not need another Somali rookie in congress. Her name alone will carry her in the primary.

Is this the Kenyan best analysts? THey just copy pasted what our friend Apophis used to say here for moths. I do not know Kenyan tribes, but they probably have enough discord already in their own country. The Junior Kenyatta want to extend his term by changing the constitution like most African leaders. Soon there could be a fight between his own vice president who changed sides few years ago. I am willing to arm the Kenyan tribes who are victims of Kikuyu. If they want to play with fire , let us help them. Daniel Arab Moi once said, " If what is going on in somalia comes here even in small scale , you will be dying like a cattle". Well we want to transfer some of the mess to Kenya if you want to play warlord games in 2020.

When we were growing up , Kenyans used to throw their guns when they see a Somali soldier.

We all hope this is not Al-shabaan moving north.

I would vote for Jewish president than these buffoons. Anyway, Mr. Sanders is not going anywhere. He was getting probably 25% of the vote while many moderates were splitting the vote among themselves. With the fake Buttigeg out and Kloubacher indorsing Joe Biden, Sanders won't be strong . In the south the democrats are more conservative than those in the north east. As the voting goes to south to Georgia, Texas, South Carolina and Alabama, a socialist like Bernie has no chance of winning. Besides, America already have a populist president. People want normalcy and someone who would calm down things, and Kor Biden is that man.

Man, this Kerow guy is a proud man with a witt and sense of humor. I can tell you that the Somali Sijjus are an educated class compared to the other Somalis. Waa Soomaalidi aanu naqaanay.

Che, please keep bringing the news. We need it.

Like Kerow said these people are not guests of Kenya. You can not bring mercenaries in their land and create instability. It is Kenya who should not be worried in NFD. Sawahili teachers already abandoned the region for fear of Al-shabaab. Farmaajo should band their Khat and flights from Nairobi.

Suldaanka, C/qaadir Jirde is a heavyweight. In fact, it could be said that he is the last statesman left standing in Somaliland. Just like America got the worst of the worst as a leader, we already got the least decent and worst already. A friend told me the other day that we the people in Somaliland are lucky because rather than tomorrow or in the future, we got the worst now and we are looking for better future. " Kuwii kaadida iyo xaarka soo cabay ayaa in hor galay, hase ahatee way ina dhaafayaan sida koonfurta Soomaliyaba ay dagaal opgayaashu uga sii dhamaanayaan. If Xaaf iyo Madoobe depart the south will be out of warlords. In Kulmiye , neither INa Cali Koore nor Ina Hashi Abdi would win any general election. THese people are third rate politicians who has no leadership quality. The frontrunner in Kulmiye could be Waran Cadee. Here C/qadir Jirde making sense and speaking like adult were gangsters toam the land these days.

It is time to arm the locals to defend themselves from these mercenaries. The Kikuyu had declared war on us. If they think Somalia will be quite while arming new rebels led by war criminals in the 21st century they are mistaken. Don't they know we have nothing to lose. They are already facing Al-shabaab, and now the NFD locals will be their enemy. too That is a recipe for disaster. Folks, looking at the pictures, the moral of Somali army in GEdo region is high. We will defeat the traitors and their backers. I have no doubt about it.

Kenya is losing their mind. If they keep playing fire , they might create an uprising within the NFD Somali residents. These fools should know that we Somalis did not forget NFD and our land annexed by Kenya illegally. The criminal scarface and his ragtime militia can not face the tough Somali tigers, so they are running back to their Kikuyu hosts and probably. The Kenyan intelligence operator Apophis is probably hiding their. Doqmahani ma oga in aanu ka daalnay dagaalka walalaha Soomaaliyeed oo aanu diyaar u nahay in aanu cadowga madow ka hor tagno. Remember, the super majority of Somalis in NFD including the OG do not want these outlaws and Madoobe himself.

Somali Kenyan statesman Farah Macalin says: ," What goes around comes around, We had warned GOK repeatedly to lay off but to no avail. They are now hosting our MPs & we are in a panic mode!!
