America is in decline on many ways. There have been 251 mass shooting in 2019 alone. The manufacturing lies of Muslim terrorists and others had catched up to the United state. The FBI had more than 20 staged entrapment cases and staged terrorist incidents since 911. Suddenly the so called ISIS sympathizers had disappeared from the scene and replaced by white nationalist who are been encouraged by the president himself. If good people kept silent evil will triumph. When Rome collapsed , it wasn't because armies had invaded and ransacked. It was the moral decay of the empire created by its leaders. Corrupt and immoral kings and emperors did hasten the collapse. People like emperor Caligula who had sex with his own sister , and characters like Nero who burned Rome for vanity paved the way. At the end Rome had collapsed within it self. The decline of America started in 1990 when they waged a war of choice against Saddam Husein. They chased the middle east quagmire for the last 30 years without thinking the consequences. China abstained almost all the security council votes when America pushed for war. It has accumulated a trillion dollar debt to U.S during those wars.The coming Iran war might seal the deal for the American empire. They just woke up in 2015 and saw the rising of China that would overtake them in less than ten years. Tarifs and wailings of Trump may just delay the inevitable of the coming decline and the overtaking of China. Obama tried to correct the mess created by Bush junior who should never have been a president. It is now followed by a character similar to the Caligula of Rome--Donald Trump. In the latest shooting Caligula/trump said " perhaps more is need on gun violence:. Perhaps. In UK, the cradle of the modern civilization was taken over by a clown named Boris Johnson.What the world up to? He is saying he want to take UK out of the EU, yet, they had seized Iranian ship in order to enforce an EU sanctions. Go figure. The mass shootings will continue an abated with no resolution. The rise of white nationalists , war of choice and imperial adventure will destroy the US sooner or later. A swedish peace and security expert even predicted the " fall of empire" by 2020. He says, " the US will be bogged down by a war of choice and pressed by emerging powers". defeats in wars of choice will generate loss of political influence, he predicted.

And in order to distract us from the tragedy and the death of Yariisow , he is throwing this nonsense about renouncing his American citizenship in order to hijack the news media and all of us. The day he was elected, I said, " please pacify the national capital and build few thousands of soldiers". THe city has changed while we see in the news the Turkish bilt army in the news. Who knows these good soldiers could disappear like the rest before them if do not take care of them. Farmaajo has year and half , and must leave behind something security wise before it is too late.

I hate to agree with Apophis but the globetrotting leaders who visit Addis and Nairobi monthly couldn't not bring themselves to visit Eng. Yariisow at the hospital in Qatar to show solidarity. The prime minister did not even say a word until his death. He did not change a bit of his Galmudug due to these tragedies. What I know is Khayre doesn't like the leaders of Unaka community of in MOgadishu for fear of being replaced since they are the natural leaders of Banaadir He kicked out the last governor Tabit who was doing well and the star of Eng. Yariisow was rising. He was killed as soon as he met the UN envoy of Somalia. He could have been the next prime minister. It is a shame.

Tallaabo, neither Mogadishu nor Hargeisa government will change the status quo. It is useless banthring to the public from both sides. Boobe Yusuf says " Xoog baa lagu keenay. Of course FArmaajo is weak , but at the end real leaders will follow the Spanish Catalan and the Kurds model end this game for the good og both people. Peace and unity will come only through strength. Every thing else is " how can we divide the donor money.

peace and unity could be only achieved through strength.These talks are useless. This boy Mr. Khadar, from Hargeisa , must say more and bring the sisters with chains just like Lincoln did.

Waa in loo hiiliya manta. WE must learn how to stick together and support our own people against the racist hordes of Trump. His own wife was probably modeled and sold to him by Jeffery Epstein the child molester. Yet, his people are defending the indefensible. let us stick with our sister.

Suldaankii is out of control. If America want to investigate crimes of African leaders and others, Somalia is the last place. In Mogadishu, there is no one single political prisoner or anyone oppressed unlike many Somali regions including Hargeisa where hundreds are rotting in jails. Waar ninyahow wax macquula Meesha ku soo qor.

Mr. Dhaqane, Isn't what the Fox news say: we report you decide. with friends like you who needs enemies. Reasonable people might disagree her tactics or the strategy of joining the progressive block of her party. Personally, I do not like the so called progressives due to their anti development and crazy environmental policies,. Yet Ilhan Omar had took the tough route to make it easier for the next generation of Muslims and Somalis. As I said before, it is better to live a day like a lion than to be a sheep for a thousand year. Make no mistake, she was the target the day she was elected. They kept digging her background and accused her of so many crazy things. Now she is in tough position because of Trump, the neocons and the right wing media are after her because of her tough stand, but if the Orange Buffoon goes down , she will be more influential than ever before. She is our own star and we want her to succeed and prosper. She is one of us who challenged the status quo. I hope she resolves her family issues . She must remember that she is carrying the torch and the name of tens of thousands of us , and must not give an opening to her and our enemies. If the dysfunctional fool with so many issues still has a family , and our star lady must do the same and avoid any weakness for our and her sake. We are praying for Ilhan Omar , in Ilaahay u fududeeyo hawlahan adag.

He either ignorant of history or he is up to some sinister moves. Either way Mr. Cagjar will not last as things heat up. The Tigray got Debresion, the Amhara leader is always at the center power and Oromo got the power. The Somali Zone needs a tough guy to match these giants. We need someone to match the false Amhara hubris and take his stand. We need someone to say that either we will have our autonomy or Ethiopia will be finished just like Yugoslavia. During Cabdi Illey reign the regional television prodcusted exclusively Somali programing with few Ethiopian stories. Now you got many ours of Amhara programing thanks to Cagjar. Anyway, the secretory general of the ONLF Mr. Maadeey was in our town last weekend. One of the biggest takeaway of that conference was the tone of the speaker. By far , he spoke nothing but unity, brotherhood and borderless Soomaalinimo. . We might disagree with ONLF in personal or tribal politics , but they had showed to be serious leaders with well defined mission of the future of the Somali region. Some tough questions were raised by the audience. He was asked point blank: When are you going to Somalize ONLF?, " Goorma ayaa la Soomaaliyeynayaa ONLF oo reerka magaciisa iyo waxan daba socda la bedelayaa? He did not beat the bush or tried to run away from the name. He said , " We are not hypocrites like many Somalis who carry the "S" name and then serve their tribe, but this is a decades old brand name , and we are not willing to run away from it at the last minute and start from zero like others", he continued, " but we know the region will be either called Somali Galbeed or Somali state which ever Somalis agree". Some even tried to trap him and asked about Cagjar saying the OG are 30% of the population. He rejected any numbers and said that he was not interested about numbers or the percentage of tribes and the land belongs to all Somalis. By far he was the most qualified Somali politician who was well versed of the issues he was addressing. They even asked him about the clashes and issues that exist between the Farmaajo government and ONLF. He said, " I know you guys probably referring to Qalbi-Dhagax issues, but this is our government and we are willing to cooperate and succeed ( Dawladeeni weeye waxaanan rajaynaynaa nabad iyo horumar Soomaliya gaadha) In my impression these guys are ready for the future Ethiopian challenge.

It could be a temporary arrangement while holding the office.

I think the people of Mogadishu became desensitized to accept these horrific actions. Those who are murdering your sons are your neighbors. I know this is a big city, but neighbors must patrol their communities and report these things. If locals do not take action, then they must bear the collective punishment of the security forces. This city must be put in a curfew and suspects rounded up. This town must pay some of these crimes sooner or later.

We are a nation scatted throughout the world. In the modern world many nations allow dual citizens either through immigration or people dispersed around the world either due to calamities , rampant refugee crises or colonials and empires putting artificial boundaries. WE Somalis fit almost all those categories. Besides, we are talking about leaders born and raised in Somalia. It was the Amisom crowd and Ethiopia of Meles pushing the idea of putting obstacles to the Somali diaspora. Be ware of what you wish Mr. Che. The non tribal Somali youth who were raised in the diaspora will return home in a few years with their know how and education. We want them to be able to retain their dual citizenship. Farmaajo is doing this for his own travel needs in America and should not be a litmus test. Having said that , I might consider one single exception which is the American passport holders. Since America is an empire , its citizens are always suspect.

Why not let the interior minister manage the affaires of Galmudug. Usually these kind of tragedies take place either when leaders are occupied with electioneering, or sidetracked by Mogadishu politics. The death of Eng. Yariisow should not be in vain. His untimely death must awaken the Somali people everywhere. We must scarifies and do things differently. Ina Lilaahi wa ina Ilaahi Raajicuun.

Allah ha u Naxariisto. Where is the prime minister? How can he spends 40 days out of the capital? it means he doesn't have subordinates to organize things. The Governor of Banadir had died due to terrorism , yet he never convenes an emergency meeting or taking any action. These people are out of touch.

What kind of a headline is this? THis is not a chaos but a tragedy . The United Nations envoy David Swan was probably the target. He left the building just an hour or so ago. Our hearts go to the innocent victims who were working to improve the lives of the citizens of Mogadishu. This is unacceptable. How can someone walk to top the meeting of the highest levels of Benadir government where all the leadership of the national capital was taking place. In this kind of building there should be three or more layers of security. If one passes the gate undetected, there must be a secondary screening checkpoint, and the end there should be someone at the door of the office. Certainly , the so called bomber had been assisted by someone within the security detail. THe women bombers are some the deadliest ones so far. The Hotel Shamo bomber was a woman with dark clothes. THese women must be treated like everyone else on matters of security. Tunisia had banned Niqab wearing women from entering public buildings. We should follow suit, especially since large number of men were arrested in Somalia wearing womens clothes to disguise their identity. Gudoomiye C/raxman Yariisaw is a typical "Reer Banadir". Hard working and soft speaking good man who is a loyal to the nation building efforts of the government. Yet, he is not a ruthless or tough on security matters in Mogadishu. We are praying for his recovery. MY biggest issue, as usual, is this events are happening just as they did in 2014 or 2106/2017. After these connective tragedies what kind of actions should the government take. THe highest official of the Banadir regional government and his councilmen are targeted , yet nothing unusual is happening to reassure people. In the real world we have to go through metal detectors and security line ups at the airports because some people did 911, yet here in Somalia these tragedies happening every few months , and they do not bring any real changes. This city must be shutdown, revolving curfews should be introduced, and every home must be checked of illegal weapons and bombs. Everyone should feel the pain including the innocent. How can you treat business as usual.It seems the nightmare continues regardless of who is the president. We need people with new ideas. We can't do the same thing and expect different results. Finally, we can't rely and leave the security of the nation to " Ciyaalka Xaafada" alone . Somali intelligence and security people should be recruited from Awdal, Sool, Sanaag, Bari, Hiiraan, Bay, Shabbelaha Hoose and GEdo and other places.

OO, The constitution file is static. I do not know why. Most Somalis will not accept the current one written in a haste. It is the job of the president to appoint prominent Somalis across the region and then start the consultation. I do not know why everyone is scared to start the process. You do not need an army or even to work in Mogadishu. They could go a quiet place like Garoowe and deliberate as long as it takes. At the end , you do not need the opinion of the regions but the federal parliament and referendum among Somalis. Vote yes and no. 51% margin should be enough.

yet, I still believe that Somalia should never trust the American unless they lift the arms embargo and leave us alone to print our own money.

OO, if the going get tough, the snow flakes of the left will be crushed by the armed right wing.Too bad , the stupid medis was chasing the innocent Muslims while the right wing nuts were agitating and arming. for the last two years, 90% of mass killings and shootings are done by the right wing nuts. Anyway, I have a theory that I have developed for the last few years. Every time Trump does something outrageous or headline grabbing statement, he is probably preempting a damaging story about him. There were a video in the media that supposed to air Monday about his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein the guy accused of molesting under age children. He is angry and has to unleash some crazy twitter in order to get some help. here is the video.

He definitely hijacked. The Sultan has written many letters for different times, yet, they brought this one to highlight his weaknesses under duress.. This was a letter of grief stricken man sequestered from him home, family, wife , children and taken to unknown island. History has shown he along Faarah Oomar were the only Somali leaders exiled by the British. Even after they released around him nineteen thirties , they kept him in Eden for political reason. Having been the father in law of Sayid Mohamed, Ina Cali Shire could have created problems for the British. Our friend Suldaanka keeps talking about ' Buur ahow ama buur ku tiirsanow" which is a false Somali hubris that is exaggerated the tribal reach. The great Darwiish, Ina Cabile Hassan, landed Berbera " Isagoo baakoorad laadlaadinaya" . he didn't have money, presiege or clan (Buur) behind him. His paternal clans were far away in Iimay and Godey. Yey, within few years he raised the largest army the Somali people had seen in early twentieth century. He was aided by proud nomads first from Buuhoodle including Ismaaciil mare and other from Sool, Sanaag and even Togdheer (There were large West and East Burco) Daraawiish contingent in the early years. If there was anyone to follow the footsteps of the Daraawiish, it wasn't going to from Puntland or the Habro, but from Sanaag. That is why the British kept him out of the region until the second world war approached. Folks, history is a cruel thing that can't be remade. The Daraawiish struggle was the modern Somali nationalism manifested in freedom of faith (Islam) and the Somali way of life free from colonial domination. Of course clan and other cultural issues of the era were always present but the main issue of struggle against the colonials was always paramount. The 21 year Daraawiish war has discouraged the British to make this land full colony. He created "Cheif Aqils" and other divide and rule mechanism to deal with the independent nomads who want to roam the land freely. Even when the the Somali nationalism was at height in Somaliland in nineteen fifties, he pitted west burco and east Burco with clan war that almost destroyed the movement. Certainly some Somalis were on the wrong side of history in that rebellious war and freedom. There is no use to recreate or make the villains hero and the hero crazy, tribal and outlaw as the British did , calling Sayidka Mad Mullah. We can't discard and throw our own history and the hero's we hold dear. Because the hero is from the wrong tribe , it doesn't mean his sacrifices and history must be thrown. I know for may of you guys are the generations who grew up idolizing Caydiid, Siilaanyo, Cali Mahdi and C/laahi Yusuf,and of the history of the nation might have started in 1969 or 1991. Certainly every tribe had some great heroes who had contributed for the national collective agenda of our people. People fall, fail and rise up. Furthermore, the biggest threat to your own well being and your peace isn't other than your own clan or the closest clan you share the name. If you are in Burco, the east and west clans had killed more people between them than any outsider. Caydiid and Cali Mahdi had killed more among themselves than any other tribe, the list goes on. The colonial powered had subdued people and nations who were more powerful than the Somalis. China, India and others were subdued. If a Somali nomad had achieved keeping the British at bay for 21 years,k it was a great feet that we must all celebrate. Heroe like Sheikh Bashir killed in day light in Burco was among the northern heroes of independence. If the Watsangeli Sultanate and Mohamed C. Shire were pro-freedom we must celebrate, just like Sheikh C/laahi of west Burco who proceeded the Daraawiish and fought the british with large causality. Close this topic and move on, and please do not throw our heroes under the base just to be tough on the wrong tribe.

It is tragedy that a man of that stature who was one of the few Somalis in history exiled by the British for their political activity isn't known to most Somalis. Also, Ina Cali Shire never signed the so called Somaliland protectorate agreement reached with other tribes mainly the Habro and the Awdalites. In fact, it is one of the major arguments that his land (SAnaag) and those in the eastern side were never fully part of the the British empire. I hope the current Suldaan has great stature like his ancestors. Soomaalidii xoriyada iyo gumetsiga diiday oo dhan hoosta ayaa la galiyey since 1960. I do not know how far he goes with his ancestors, in Awdal our Ugaas is the 19th and the first one was crowned in Zaylac in 1603.

Could be true or its the Amhara trying to create doubts between Abiy and Afwork. Besides, the Amhara want the sea access and always accused the TPLF of landlocking Ethiopia. Or the Eritrean dictator might want to dismantle the whole thing. In his mind certain sections of Ethiopia want the Assab port back either by force or other means.

I think you are in a wrong place. Every Somali kid compares the current situation or his own experience to the larger Somali family. Language doesn't determine the authenticity of any nation. Many African countries use French , English or another foreign language as the national language , yet that doesn't determine their history, culture or existance. Italy became a republic just before the turn of century, that doesn't mean the Romans were all italians. people and communities transform from tribes to nations. Mind you the nation state is a modern creation of the Europeans. People lived as tribes united either by geography or culture. There were Somali empires in the horn since the thirteenth century, the likes of : Adal, Ifat, Ajuuraan, Osmania , Water Maal and others for centuries who fought the colonials from Portuguese to Abyssinian and the Italians. There were also a Somali group the fought both the British and the Italians some 120 years ago. I think they are called " Daraawiish" if you ever heard of them. Arabic , the language of the Quran , was extensively used in most Somali territories for recording things. Go find out when The Sawahili tribes in east Africa and when they had written their language. Unlike Somalis, there is no such thing people called Zimbabwe, Congo or even Kenya. In Kenya, a combinations of tribes, Kikuyu, Luo, Turkana and even Somali ones had given certain geography by the British Tanganyika and then called Kenya. In any event, these place is not fit for your narrow experience. Come back in a few years. If you don't even know how Ahmed Madoobe looks , how could you interact with people in this political section which is no the best of places . Go to the general section and other places and see you in a few years. I have been generous here.

Two Somali heroes. One is in the dungeons of Hargeisa jails, the other murdered by the Khawaariij and evil Al-shbaab. The Somali nomads, the nation of poets, the people known to be the oral society who passed history through storytelling is silenced by tribal chauvinists and Wahabi controlled society of our time. This video is indeed a witness against all of us.

The finance minister said the IMF will help as print the money. Can you imagine a national leadership always expecting others to do things without sacrifice. Go and print your own money through your national bank. The four years will end up while begging others to do your duty.

I think he is attacking Farmaajo and Somalia. That is how they always do things. They give you false credit and prop you up and suddenly throw you to the wolves. None of the things Somalia needs will be done or assisted. You know what we need. * IMF debt forgiveness. Arms embargo lifted. Allow Somalia to print its own National currency. We don't need few dollars thrown around which will end up in Nairobi and Mogadishu hotels. Afghanistan had 350,000 soldiers and the Taliban has taken 1/3 of the country. That is the American legacy of assistance. Siday been iyo propagaandho ugu wadaan ayey Farmaajo wakhtiga kaga dhamaynayaan hadduu tashan waayo oo is daba qaban waayo. America no longer does nation building. It only creates chaos.
