I have to investigate and dig deep down why Mustafe Cagjar keep interfering issues that doesn't concern him. We all know that Ethiopia is a very difficult place to take out money legally, and Wajaale is the only place to do under the table transactions. It is A Dubai of the region. Is this man preparing his exit and relying on Biixi Biixi? I don't know. Time will tell.

Dad la tahriibiyo aragnay, imikana waxa Somaliland ku soo biiray Xoolo la tahriibiyo. These people keep lying on any issue. While denouncing the Somali health certificate, this fool , Mr. Gaafadhi , claimed that any livestock leaving Berbera will only have Somaliland stamp and if the Saudis object to these rule " Our live stock will stay here and will find another market" Now he is saying a Saudi company had guaranteed the import of the livestock. Just like those who smuggle people, they tried to get a false travel and health document from non legal entities. THey went to JIgjiga and Mustafe Cagjar--- who has no business of issuing health certificates to livestock exported from Berbera--- and he falsely gave them a letter claiming that these livestocks were from Ethiopia with good standing. Rather than allow the Somali nomad and small business traded to make some money from the IIdul Adha, they tried a shortcut route to circumvent the Somali government requirements and show false bravado to the innocent public. What people do not know is that most of the government ministers are incompetent tribal appointees who couldn't understanding how to manage a 21st century government which is a modern institution that requires educated technocrats that must manage these things. For 30 years they could not find a single market for these livestocks. This has nothing to do for being recognized or not. All you have do is set up a world class health inspection agency and export to the world markets. The Somali goat and sheep is our oil and gas, and the only real export that could alleviate poverty from the rural community. Even the Somali government should try finding other markets. The Arabs governments are becoming the worst people on earth and must be avoided to make any deals as much as possible . Waa " Asfilu saafiliyiin" Too bad after 30 years they are still blaming Siyaad Barre. Since these smuggling failed, they might try another one, this time through Yemeni Houthis or other entities to smuggle to Saudi Arabia. And you know what? I blame Suldaanka and others here in SOL who are cheering every wrong moves of the the incompetent elite. Rather than speak for the people and correct these deceptions, they double down.This Muuse guy is failing in every front.

Sorry, I wasn't following the news until. It is the bombing in Kismaayo.

SubxanAllah. Allah ha u naxariisto. This evil people are killing the Somali heroes and the best among us. She was an inspiration for many of us. She was one of the finest the Somali diaspora had produced. When did this happen?

OO, why not make the EPRDF CC larger by adding Somalis, Afar and others?. THis old system is no longer working for many.

I heard Farah Macalin explain how Somalis achieved their political ans economic success in Kenya. It is totally different. Most of all , despite our disagreements and the sea issue, Kenya is an stable democracy. If Cgjar is comparing the Kenyan Somali experience in the Somali region , he is mistaken. Ethiopia is the unfinished project of the 19th century colonial project. He should demand the reform of the party and make sure decisions are made in Jigjiga. Abiy can't remove the TPLF man in Makale. Cagjar must not allow regime change in Jigjiga from Addis. This can only be done by reforming the party. Ahmed Shide is no longer serving the kilil.

The Tigray elite had already buried the Ethiopia of nationalities and nations they formed in 1991. THey are advocating what the cal " Federation of Nation states" . Similar to the EU . They say, "Ethiopia as a country has passed the tipping point towards becoming federation of nation states and there is no possibility of returning to a unified homogenous nation" Other than Addis and few other mixed towns, almost everyone has his own nation. Keeping the union by force is no longer an option. Even the TPLF had warned Abiy not to use force against the Sidamo. If Illey had moderated his abuse, the people would have followed him. You can't lead your own prisoners and victims to fight for your survival. They can't trust you. So, this new Guy Mustafe must unite the Somalis for any eventuality.

The mischievous Tigray want to get out , but first they want to destroy the whole thing and exit by default.Yet, at the moment , they present themselves as the good guys who stand for the constitution and ethnic federalism. They are demanding that the Amhara to be dealt with heavy blow. The Amhara had went crazy. The Ethiopia based on Amhara culture and language is no more and they can't accept that. Three or four more ethnic Kilil could be formed to weaken both Oromia and Amhara regions. Sidama, Agew, Welkat and even Gurage want their own Kilil. I bet that those in Jigjiga probably do not even have plan B. This Cagjar guy must prepare the people for the eventual collapse of the new Yugoslavia of Africa. The Amhara diaspora is agitating and the western nations especially America isn't doing anything to slow them down. Democracy in Ethiopia could be a threat for some foreign nations. We all pray for this Abiy guy to succeed and keep the lid of this boiling pot.

Haatu. I wish I had intervened earlier to put my few cents earlier. Anyway, The Warday you call former slaves and keep denigrating are Somalis and have settlements in both Jubba and Kenya. They have members in the federal and Jubba parliament. I do not know where you get these stories. Also, I am not really sure but I remember an old friend of mine from Baydhabo told me that the Farmaajo clan had settled in Gedo early twentieth century. Even Gedo itself is shared by others like Garre, and people from South West. Beledxaawo, Ceelwaaq and even baardhere might be shared by others. I always heard that the OG were mostly based in Afmadow and Qooqaani area. Bedises, do you know how many OG were elected in the Somali parliament from 1960-69?, that could be a parameter to measure the population. I am assuming that the OG were not considered as principal players in those era. Please correct me if I am wrong .Either The population of the tribes in JUbba had grown tenfold for the last 30 years for many reasons, immigration ,birth or otherwise , because , I never heard anyone claim these regions in the eighties , nineties or even early 2000, especially OG. .In early 2000, Walaalaha Galgaduud ayaa ka talinayey degaanka. And how about the locals whether they are Wardaay, Sheekhaal, Gaadsan, digil mirf, Bahjuun? They have less numbers than the Harti and others. Certainly this place is different than many other regions dominated by one or two clans.

Cubano, Listen fool, the world had changed. didn't you get the memo that the iron curtain was over 30 years ago. Ethiopia joined long ago the anti cuba capitalist camp. Somali Galbeed might be free. Every Somali around the country paid in blood for that to happen in 1977. By the way, Mustafe Cagjar must explain his facebook post of cheerleading the breakup of Somalia or will be toasted soon.

The law and order by state never existed. It was always the tribes who kept the peace. This one was ignited by the politicians in Hargeisa including Muuse Biixi. He will pay the price of his mischief. While ago I wrote here that local militia with technicals roaming freely in SAnaag, and the cheerleaders were shocked. The police could not dare to arrest anyone, and they hide in their station . And where is the man who supposed to keep the internal security. He is busy chasing innocent people , and arresting journalists.Besides, the whole administration is busy with Guinea, Nairobi and giving Biixi the badly needed prestige money can buy. buy. Dawladi Daahir Rayaale kama dambeyn. Cigaal organized the system and Daahir Rayaale made it a functioning government. THere were no real government administration since 2011. Siilaanyo was an experienced leader who could have done better, but an early stroke decimated him and the running of the government went to un elected man called Hirsi Hassan. The whole government and ministres lined up to the palace to get instructions from him. From their , it went down hill. Not only politicians, ministers and directors , but every cashier and low level supervisor were appointed through presidencial degree and corrupt tribal system. Hundreds of people were replaced through tribal system, and some had three jobs in three different mysteries. The so called RRU who supposed to fight terrorism or armed bandits were used to punish those who were complaining about land disputes or those who said few bad things against the leader. The raids usually take three in the morning. Yet, not one single murderer or killer was caught . Rather than look to the future, an unrepentant warlord became the leader of Kulmiye through intimidation and bombing. A criminal was rewarded. Markaad ummada kuwa ugu axmaqsan aad iska soo hormariso filo masiiboyin. Si ummadan masiiboyinka iyo dhibaatooyinka soo socda looga badbaadiyo, waxaynu u baahanahay 200 nin oo Hargeisa jooga oo aynu maxakamadayno . Waan hubaa in beentu dhamaan lahayd. Waa ummad budhacd iyo dilaal hor galay.

I heard Mr. Xidig to be the dark horse in this election. He could split the vote and give Ahmed Madoobe the victory. I have seen a clip of Madoobe returning to Kismaayo few days ago and he seems to be getting a lot of support from the ground.

Talks between Somaliland and Somalia could start only in one main condition. Somaliland should renounce its secession . You should never negotiate someone who want to dismember your country. It is simple. Many nations had followed this formula.

Wanka Gawrac dibigu ha ku quustee. Somaliland had never been challenged for the last 28 years. They have been playing with the fire while Somalia was struggling .The chickens had come home to roost. This is just the beginning of a hardball game. Since Somalia has certain diplomatic presence in the world stage it should use these carrots and sticks. The British should get notice if they keep interfering with the unity of Somalia. These trips are all intended to give some relief to the Muuse Biixi who is desperate to gain some attention. Last week, Mohamed CUmar , former Somaliland foreign minister who runs an NGO in Nairobi , tried to arrange a meeting without consulting the principal leaders of the Somali government. Last mouth the same scheming NGO group brought former Nigerian president Obasanjo to Hargeisa. Unbeknown to them he was one of those who worked hard to keep Nigeria together after the Biafra civil war, and now hundreds of thousands are thrown around to give the dear leader some exposure in far corners of Africa. Minister of commerce Saajin , the corrupt brother In law of Muuse Biixi, had even paid Elders in Borama to stand with Muuse with the Guinea trip. Guinea is the new slogan, and some elders are cashing in. Finally, I would like to warn the opposition, aka Ina Cabdishakur and the weak minded analyst Yusuf Garaad to be very careful of damaging the unity of the nation. Don';t they have any hopes of one day leading the country and standing up for unity.?

Sidamo should wait until the Amhara sortes out the current mess. So far, the Amhara are acting just like the Sebs of former Yugoslavia with less population than the Serbs. The good news is the American foreign establishment had characterized the Amhara as extremists. Yet, without election , Abiy has little chance to push his reforms. He must enlarge the EPRDF to include Somalis, Afar and Bensham Guli to increase his vote. He must also, take off the pressure from the TPLF which are huge antidote of the Amhara disease.

The Amhara diaspora are in overdrive. The campaign of late us hate Oromo is in full gear. We need to crush these Amhara SOB for good. The Ethiopian people didn't forget their 150 years old crimes from Menelik to Mengistu.

Suladaanka, We need an explanation here. Muuse was trying hard to find a foreign audience for the last few months. he even tried Sweden, and didn't work. Why Guinea , an insignificant country in west Africa.? Waar ninku ma mukhalisiin ayaa u soo dhamaysay safarka.

I do not see direct tribal insult, but I also didn't see national celebration and unity which is the symbol of July 1 from this foul mouthed elder. " Qabaa'il yar yar oo Koonfurta dega oo qardhaasa wata" That statement by this elder and the vulgar laughing of the leader Mr. Deni makes this a tribal feast not a national unity celebration. It shouldn't happen.

Walaahi waa cajiib. We can't even agree the most basic things. If you have an opportunity to sell 3 million heads of livestock, you do it and help the local traders and the small ruler herder, no questions asked. I just found out that the director general of the Somalia Livestock ministry ( Wasaarada Xanaanada Xoolaha) had personally involved to to seal the deal with the Saudis. He said , we made sure that Somaliland to take advantage and ship the livestock without publicity since this was an agreement between states, Somalia and Saudi Arabia. Somalia was willing to give them the necessary documents for the export, yet the " Gaas dhagoole" in Hargeisa want to look tough and deny millions of dollars of hard currency for the local economy. Our friend Suldaanka, who is sipping kiwi at the south of the Atlantic is applauding these moves. As the old sage Bubba said, these ministers use the Somali passport to travel and use for the Hajj and Umrah , yet they deny the poor locals to make a buck.

Maakhiri1, Even the first world whites couldn't control South Africa. The Oromo nation is huge today with hundreds of thousands of educated people who graduated in university. Their Kilil have more than four or five cities with over a million people. It is hard to imagine this until you see this in person. I visited Oromo owned and managed Rift Valley University in Addis , and I couldn't believe how the Oromo youth were proud , elegant and advanced . That was in Addis. Imagine how many more in their Kilil. Folks, while we were arguing about Mogadishu and Somaliland, the world had advanced more than we think. They are on the verge of taking over Addis Ababa. The TPLF had decimated the amhara power. Also, unlike the Amhara radicals, the Oromo youth are willing to sacrifice to gain their freedom. The Oromo had overthrown a thousand years imperial order and on the process had liberated many nations within Ethiopia including the tribal and dysfunctional Somalis who lost their zeal of freedom and honour. If we are enjoying freedom in Jigjiga and strolling the bulevards without fear as I did few months ago, it is all thanks to Oromo freedom fighters. This Hawaas. Hear of Oromo uprising in Ambo university stadium Bishuftu , formerly DebraZeyt. Just 50 km from Addis, beautiful mountains and sven lakes. I spent a day and had lunch at the buffet restaurant overlooking the lake. Even Cumar Geele has a house their. .Jima city in the South west Another city called Shashamane, Oromia. The Oromo nation is huge nation within Ethiopian nation. Hadaam, formerly Nazret. No one can sundue this Oromo nation anymore.

It is an old clip, but it shows his desire to speak the Somali language. If he succeeds It will be good for all of us, but if things get out of hand and Amhara tries to come back, Somali Galbeed will be free.

Certainly, communal violence and chaos leads to anarchy. It was the same thing that led to the disintegration of Somalia. Southern leaders allowed looting and other crimes which eventually led to disaster. Abiy had nurtured the Amhara elite and allowed them openly to propagate their Old Ethiopia narrative. They even claimed that Abiy is anti federal . He must use democratic rhetoric while enforcing tough security measures.

Apophis, Soon we will see if the peace was genuine or bought just with money. Reer Galmudug must work hard and manage their affairs. The triangle divide of South Mudug, Cadaado and Dhuusamareeb must. Some people even believe that harmony in Galmudug might help the peace in Mogadishu.
