  1. By the way, Mr. Good is not a scholar. He mostly analyses Somali songs and literature while combining some history. Waa nin Suugaanta, sida heesaha iyo gabayada naqdiya. People like Ghandi are learned anthropologists.
  2. Guys, Cabdi Good nin Sakhraasan ma ahan. Waa nin reer Burco ah hadalkana sarifa. If you look some of his videos that is exactly how he talks. Let me try to explain some of his reasons. The Djibouti issue was the most paramount issue in the Somali folklore, literature and poems. For most of you , history probably has started in 1991, and even for some it i started during Amisom and Mogadishu era. After the Arusha agreement in late sixties which has transferred NFD to Kenya , the Somali people and government had started a campaign to liberate Djibouti and join the union. I was a child , but when Djibouti was liberated we all thought that they would be joining the union. In nineteen sixties, Abdirasaq Haji Huseen had started a secret contact with Cali Caarif Burhan, the premier of the French controlled Djibouti. He promised him that if he joins the union, he will personally transfer the premiership of Somalia and the new union. A Yemani/Somali Businessman became the liaison contact with the two governments. In 1966, the Yemani Businessman was murdered in Djibouti while walking " Dalagdalgta plaza Rambo" . The only people who new these issue were , Calicaarif, A/risaaq , the businessman and Ahmed Yusuf Ducaale ( The brother of Boobe Yusuf ducaale) the foreign minister of Somalia. There were reports about espionage and leaks given to the French and the Ethiopians by the foreign minister of Somalia. The issue was investigated and Mr. Ducaale was found guilty of espionage. A man who is in his seventies , who was clerk of the court at the time told me that the file was full of nothing but pictures of contacts between the minister and others. When the case was in the courts, C/risaaq was even told to delay the case and wait until the election for fear of losing the " Reer Woqoyi" votes. After the election of 1967, Ibrahim Egal became premier and kept the position of foreign minister to himself. To make the story short Somalis of every walk of life fought , sang and hoped for their liberation of Djibouti for the sake of future Somali territory. No one ever said Djibouti will be it's own country except Ethiopia and the French. Even Siyaad Bare himself took part of separation of Djibouti from Somalia after he made a secret deal with the French. Just before the independence the leading men of the " Jabhada Xoreynta Djibiuti were arrested in MOgadishu and were later released six months after independence including DR. Omar Osman Raabe. The rest of the Leadership of the "Jabhada including it's leader Mohamed Janaale and Aden Rooble Cawaale were shot in Lawyacado before crossing to Djibouti days before independence. Janaale the leader died in Lowyacade, but Aden Rooble survived and later was sidelined and even arrested by the Ghelle family. Some of us had close family members who did sacrifice for the cause. Unlike Africa were most of the independent movement took over the power after the departure of the colonials , in Djibouti, those serving the colonial powers like the Ghelle family became the leaders. Hasan Guuleed , who was the most pro French members of France deputies was designed to lead. Ten years before the independence the name French Somaliland was changed, the pro independence Somalis deported, the border in Lawyacao electrified and became the " Territory of Affar and Ciise" The man running Djibouti today was a constable of the vice police to manage the meetings and health of the women selling their body to soldiers. You might not believe but there was even an office to check and monitor the health of those women and give them clean bill of health before the join the colonial soldiers. I don't have time to narrate the whole story but the usual "Somali Gaas Dhagoole" knows only what is happening among his tribe today. So, before you call this man names, at least consider and look back the history. Djibouti was the main parcel of the " Shanta Soomaaliyeed" and some of us did not forget that. He is wrong on advocating dismember, yet certainly he got a point about " Xeebta Djibouti ee Soomali laga Xaday". He is from Burco and Reer Burco , unlike those from Galbeed and Hargeisa., are not hypocrites. They tell like it is--alawys. Cabdi Good warkiisa ha la Dhuuxo.
  3. Blaming customers for your bad service never works. A Somali leader campaigns for election and to fix the problems of the nation. He is elected and Somalis around the globe welcome him with open arms in the hopes changing the status quo. He doesn't introduce and meaningful changes that affects the way people live. The same bombing and insecurity of yester years are visible. It is like watching the same movie again and again. It is his responsibility to protect the public and save lives. If one can't handle the job , give the key to someone else.
  4. I think Muuse Biixi made a huge mistake here. He should have said like most responsible government that , " Since the issue is in the courts , as a president I can not comment". simple as that. the government spokesman had openly showed the anger and hubris of Muuse biixi. THey do not even have a counselor for legal matters to write a letter that is addressing a legal matter. THis Muuse Biiixi guy needs help. Our friends here like Suldaanka and others should seek a job there and help the president. He called someone that isn;t convicted in Somaliland courts a thief. " Somaliland meel lacagta la soo dhaco lagula soo gabado ma' ahan" that is the language of the street. Muuse need to hire some legal minds to help address these issues. Besides, where is the so called chief of staff INa Cali Bile?
  5. It really shows how hopeless is the UN. After eight years they couldn't bridge the gab or build a united LIbyan army. Suldaanka, This is not Somalia, General KHaliifa will win this battle easily. THe Wahabis and others who are masters of chaos could not agree on anything. Unfortunately, this general will be another Arab despot financed by the gul and will rule with iron fes. The Libyan people are tired of anarchy and factions. They would welcome a ruthless general who will bring order. Rather having different groups loot their resources, they will have one dictator controlling the purse. Some reports indicate that if election is held in LIbya the Son of Khadaafi might even win. He already took over 3/4 of the country. Folks the era of general Khaliifa has begun.
  6. The government spokesman said the loan from the bank was used to establish the Coca-cola company. It is false. The Coca factory was established in 2010 and opened 2012, but the loan was taken in 2017. The Djibouti government own 35% of the bank. The Djibouti court has asked the bank to liquidate the assets used as equity by the bank which was $25 million. Rather than liquidate those assets they went after him. The first lady of Djibouti asked shares from his companies but he refused. NInkani waa nin la dhacay.
  7. Why does Abbiy needs Eritrea?. Turkey , Sudaan, Qatar and Somalia could be invincible if Farmaajo joins the alliance without trying to play both sides. Sometimes it is better to make your bed and sleep comfortably. In Soomaali we say, " Hasha labada Geel jecel, warabaha dhexda ku gawraca'. roughly means a camel that likes to different herds is eaten by the hyena while running between. With Turkey armies and logistica , and Qatar money everything is possible.
  8. So Mr OO, The TPLF is in play in these moves. A well funded opposition could topple Assias. Is this true or the Eritrean dictator is in panic?
  9. Mr. Arab is willing to cut his losses, but the DON want to destroy him . He spent $90 million to get Boreh. Biixi is the weak link here. He could tell Ghelle to let it go for the sake of Somaliland peace.
  10. He supposed to say that Ahmed Geele, " lacagta Djibouti looga dhacay waa in qiimaheeda la ogaadaa". You shouldn't be even opening the case before sending government lawyers to go after Djibouti and resolve the case in Djibouti. As soon as Ahmed Geele arrived in Somaliland, he dispatched Somaliland elders to Djibouti to resolve the issue and recoup his assets. He was willing to find solutions. Ghelle refused to meet with elders. They went too far and went to See the Ciise Ugaas in Diradhaba, yet Ghelle said that if they come to Djibouti again will arrest them. The Guy decided to cut his losses and move on. Now they came after what was left his assets in Hargeisa. This mobster justice.
  11. Djibouti is a mafia state run by a family. I if you open a shop and become successful, the family will visit you and give you an offer you can't refuse. They will take share by force or take the whole thing. It did happen to Djibouti people all the time. My insinuation of kidnapping is plausible because of the presence of Djibouti secret service in Djibouti and the denial of the interior minister to say that " as the interior minister, I should have known if this case is in the courts or within the Somaliland government" , yet today Muuse Biixi spokesman had contradicted him by saying that the case has been here since September 2018. OO, you hit the nail on the head. It is all about politics. foks banks lose loans everyday and try to recoup the lose by targeting or liquidating the assets of the business. Sometimes businesses go bankrupt and the banks take what they can. Why would a French ambassador fly to Somaliland to find few millions while the assets of the company SKJ is in Djibouti. The Toyota car dealership of Ahmed G. Arab are worth millions in Djibouti, so does his six floor buildings in " Guudka Djibouti". His logistics company that supplies the American base and other with millions of revenues. DHL and most of international logistic cargoes go through him. IF some of you guys remember Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who owned the biggest Russian oil company Yukos, he was arrested in trumped up charges and his assets taken over after he tried to challenge Putin. Too freeze his assets and take over his businesses worth millions and then come after his investment in Hargeisa is pure political. In order to improve the water of the city and his water bottling company , he donated $6million to the Hargeisa water project. Yet, the biggest fear of all is , he is a local tycoon who isn't connected to the ruling party of Somaliland, who in the future might help or donated money to the opposition especially Waddani. That could be one major reason Biixi and his boys are after him. I have no issue of Ahmed Geele going to courts in Hargeisa, but his lawyers must be allowed to go to Djibouti and get access to his accounts and assets. We might be dating or even trying to get some of the assets Somalis left in Mogadishu after 1991, but in Djibouti , the ruling mobster will take your building in a day light and operate as his own. Since injustice can't last , some day Djibouti might get rid off the despot and those assets recouped. You can't not accuse someone for not paying his bills and freeze and confiscate his money and assets. Traditionally , the Djibouti clan that runs the government are not people who create business or build things. They have access to public purse and burn the money without creating any lasting or reliable businesses. Go check those who were Jigjiga or other Somalis who use and burn public money like drunken sailors. Paying $10,000 dollar a month of his loans in Djibouti is a small and affordable thing thing to do for Mr. Ahmed Geele, but the issue is bigger than paying small loan. It is about a mobster family taking revenge against those who became successful despite his control. One single building of Ahmed Geele can cover two or three years of loan payment. We might find out soon but it might also connected to the campaign. Those who financed Kulmiye with Djibouti money might want Muuse to do the dirty work for Djibouti. They supposed to defend this main with all their power since he is probably the largest direct employer of workers in Hargeisa. His Coca-Cola and water bottling company employees more than 2000 people. He is a nation building tycoon that the government supposed to work for his success. Ahmed Siilaanyo had laughed and rejected the Djbibouti request without any consideration knowing how the mobster Ghelle works. The French bank gave the loan through the Djibouti assets SKJ of Ahmed geele, and it can sell and liquidate those assets which are more than 20 millions. The idea is to sideline this tycoon and punish him while using their political assets in Hargeisa. As i said it will not happen. public opinion had spoken. For the government spokesman to say that, " lacagta uu soo dhacay" knowing the millions the man left behind is stabbing the back of an benevolent local tycoon. It is a shame.
  12. The issue is very serious. This Cumar Ghelle has confiscated over $128 million of assets owned By Ahmed Geele Arab. His car dealership, logistic companies and construction and media companies all taken over. The bank that financed the Hargeisa water bottling company and other ventures want their from Ahmed. His assets in Djibouti have five more than the borrowed money. Cumar Ghelle and his family took everything. Since Ghelle family had helped Muuse Biixi and Kulmiye financially , they probably demanded the handover of the business tycoon. Reports say that Ghelle and his wife had given the government an ultimatum to hand over the assets of the man. Despite the powers Muuse Have , Somaliland isn't a one man rule dictatorship where Ghelle decides life and death. In Somaliland, there is public opinion, elders, parliament and tribal consideration that doesn't allow Muuse or anyone else to deliver this tycoon. The interior minister tried to hide the issue . There might have been even a kidnapping plot to take the man from Somaliland without the knowledge of the people. The interior minister is even trying to stop for the coastal people to develop the for agriculture. Since the land is prone to constant droughts , they tried to make agricultural settlement. The tiny Djibouti connected community cried foul and called for intervention. INa Kaahin arrested the elders and when the Saylici community met him he said" waar dagaalkan aad wadaan iyo colaadan reeraysani waa maxay" . different elders met him the next day from the same community and thinking they were the Djibouti folks said, " waar ma nimankii C..se ee la dhacay ayaad tihiin" they were shocked. These and some other moves are to pander to Cumar Gheelle at expense of everyone else. THe Collusion between Djibouti and KUlmiye is dangerous for somaliland.
  13. Xaaji, I hope this businessman should be left alone. This cumar Geele waxba ma deeqaan , wax walba in uu koontroolo ayuu rabaa. Saalax, do not make the general Xudhuun replacement a big deal. Waa nin jago laga qaaday. It happens all the time.
  14. The despot and dictator Ghelle should not be harassing people in Hargeisa and Somaliland. The corrupt Hargeisa west oligarchs were always puppets of Cumar Ghelle and his family. Ahmed Geele Arab is from a prominent business family who owned businesses in Djibouti since immemorial. The only mistake Mr. Ahmed Osman did was mixing up with despot and his family. He and the wife of Cumar Gheele took over some of the businesses left behind by Cabdiraxman Boreh. Mr. Ahmed was running the port, logistics and transport for the American base and huge construction business. After he saw the greed of Gheelle and his family he transferred some of his wealth to Hargeisa. He built Coca-cola and water bottling company in hargeisa. He went for business in Dubai and Ghelle suspected him of dealing with Boreh after DP World made a deal with Somaliland. Before he landed in Djibouti, Ghelle sent an arrest warrant . Since he is connected businessman and also is married to the Ghelle family, he landed and at the same time he left to the Ethiopian And Djibouti border and then entered Somaliland from Ethiopia. Ghelle demanded his arrest but Ahmed Siilaanyo refused. Since when you hand to a dictator for someone who is in danger. Since then Mr, Ahmed Osman remained in Somaliland and is working in Hiis and Maydh area to build ports. Ahmed Siilaanyo was an experienced old man who knew GHelle and his games, but this Biixi guy is colluding with Djibouti in so many ways including denying the coastal people to develop their land. If there is ever a treason this is one. The Hargeisa West Oligarchs might eventually destroy Somaliland if their greed is not checked. This dictator will go down someday InshAllah
  15. Oh , by the way one more thing . Since Trump had destroyed the rule based world , many countries around the world are in danger of annexation and total theft of their land. Since Somalia is occupied by the Kenyans who using iGAD and other foreign powers, they could take some of our regions to increase their maritime boundaries. AS such we need a strong foreign minister and other prominent Somalis to defend us in the international arena and media. You have to know that colonial powers of yesterday can't intervene directly in somalia, but they might use fourth rate powers like Kenya or Uganda. Waar waxaanu u baahanahay rag culus oo Soomaliya masraxa aduunyada ka difaaca. ma ciyaalkan yar yar ee reer Daynille iyo Garoowe ka yimid ayaa aduunka inga difaaci kara. Mida kale, xageed ku aragtay reer Koonfur miisaan leh oo arrimi dibad wax ka keeni kara.
  16. Mr. Gooni, Geedi tusaale ayaan u soo qaatay, laakiin suurtagal ma ahan raiisul wasaare ayaa Muqdisho laga soo xulayaa , haddana degaankii uu ka soo jeeday waxba kama qaban karayo wax shaqaynaya ma ahan. Ninku haddii uu degaankiisa wax ka qabanayn oo Tolkii aanu soo xidhxidhyn dawladi ma imaanayso. Bal iii sheeg maxaa jagada loogu magacaabay haddii uusan Xamar nabadayn karayn. Qaraxu waa mid nidaam ku socda. Wakhtigii Hassan sheikh xataa baarlamaanka iyo madaxtooyada ayaa la qarxiyey o rag hubaysani galeen. Shabaabka dhul badan oo caasimada ka mid ah ayaan loogu tagin sanad dhan. Babuur badan oo la diyaariyey ayaa la sheegaya. Xataa UN ta ayaa sheegaysa qaraxyada soo socda. Waar bi'i waaye kaaratada bedel oo dhiig cusub keen. haddii kale adiga iyo wiilkan Dayniile ka yimidba godka ha la idinku soo galo.
  17. Folks and friends, Let me try to be a referee in this matter. There is a lot of correlations here. As OOdweyne said, " The buck stops at the feet of the Vilaa-Somalia residents. Since they would take credit for every victory the government achieves, the must also take the blame of the failures of the government in terms of security. Having said, I also believe there must be a correlation between the unending instability and certain residents of the city. While some insecurity is politically motivated from the oligarchs and criminals , certain bombings are the whole mark of Al-shabaab. Non Al-shabaab gunmen might leave bomb laden cars in businesses or committ drive by shootings. Suicide bombings and multiple gunmen jumping after the suicide and willing to die are specifically the work of Al-shabaab. Also, Intelligence people would tell you that Al-shbaab has direct contacts to almost every entity within Somalia including Amisom. Sometimes they even coordinate to avoid one another. Avoiding one another in certain geographies is something the Ethiopian army has used successfully. Some of you might disagree the existence of these moves, but in Afghanistan , the Italian contingent used to pay the Taliban weekly money to avoid targeting them or clashing with them. Since the Italians were forced by America and Nato, they tried to survive and avoid casualties while CAnadians and others were dying weekly of EIDS. Emergency situations or declaring a curfew from dusk to dawn has been always my argument. No nation will allow the constant murder of its citizens by violent and evil people. Declaring an emergency situation in Mogadishu could be a way to find out the weapons hidden within the city. As I said , when the Zope area bomb killed over 500 people a year and half ago , it was the right time to cordone the whole city and disarm. Yet, the political environment of the city at the moment could not be discounted. I do believe that the current government led by Khayre can't convince the locals to cooperate and give their weapons willingly. THey seem to be hostile to his leadership and doubling down might cause more trouble. Let me be clear and speak in political tone. Khayre isn't the only one to be blamed of the security failure but, in any government when you hit a wall and things get worse, you rethink your strategies and re-energize your base in order to buy time and space. If an emergency situation is a must, then a new prime minister with a new mandate must be brought to the scene with renewed credibility and energy. Farmaajo still got two more years. We all agree that despite Somali army in Baraawe, Marka and Jowhar, the Mogadishu quagmire is still unresolved. If he can't pacify this town , Farmaajo will be be finished sooner or later. Now, is Khayre capable of pacifying Mogadishu? I do not think so. Either Farmaajo should bring either Cali Geedi who is hated by certain segments of Mogadishu but has the ability to crush his opponents, or swallow his pride and give the keys to Galmudug boys who have been in the opposition for the last 14 years. Give them the premiership and demand them to clean the city. Whoever comes must project a different image than Khayre within Mogadishu. Guys, there is no other way. He must change the course or keep hiding in his room until the flood comes to his room.
  18. Get a new prime minister, and call the help of Somali people. The chaos theory is on in the horn. Six bombs as many days is not a coincidence but a foreign plot to destroy the people. Are you telling me that a Somali group that can not fix a flat tire are building bombing? The UN says Americans killed more civilians in Afghanistan than never before. Do you know how many wedding they bombed? The chaos will continue
  19. The Hassan Khayre led government is failing both on domestic security and international policy. Today , the sixth bombing as many day has rocked Mogadishu with deadly fatalities. Despite the " peace security brigade" formed to pacify the capital and intercept the bomb laden cars, nothing seem to be working. Mogadishu is already the most fortified city in the world with blocked streets and checkpoints. Just like the colonial powers of the last century the government and their connected NGO's live in these fortified neighborhoods while the native populations resides outside these zones . Leaving the native population outside had allowed Al-shabaab to have free hand plot their deadly attacks in a way that impacts the nation. Would be Somali soldiers were trained by many nations for the last six years. Americans, European union soldiers, Italians , and African countries were some of the nations training these soldiers. Turkey , the most important partner of rebuilding Somalia, has been training professional Somali soldiers for more than a year and was graduating hundreds of soldiers. Yey, no one can travel between Mogadishu and Jowhar. Is these soldiers become ghost soldiers after graduation? , or they just disappear when they no longer able receive their salary. I always believed that a small but effective and well paid professional soldiers are the answers for the security issues. It seems that there is no shortage of soldiers but what is missing is the management and deployment of the soldiers . As the Farmaajo speech has shown , he delegated most of these tasks to the generals and the defense department. Yet, the blame should go to those who manage these generals and the prime minister himself. We have enough of the false bosting and promises of prime minister Khayre. He had enough time to pacify the capital or make his ministers accountable. Farmaajo must force Khayre to either shuffle the cabinet or ask him to resign. The area that need a change are mostly foreign policy department, internal ministry, defense ministry and national security. I would not ask him to change the army commanders and leadership which needs continuity . We do need to critically look the foreign policy of Somalia. Things are happening without critical consultation and deep debate within the leadership. Farmaajo went to Eritrea and helped them get rid of the sanctions against Eritrea without no tangible exchange. Before the president flies to any country , he must have his foreign policy group ahead of him and digest everything before hand. He seems to be stumbling to surprises prepared by other nations. If others present a blue print that t is too good to be true , it is the duty of the foreign ministry to read the fine print and analyse the future consequences. Abiy Ahmed looked the cards Farmaajo was carrying and took those who were useful for him and is now using now one by one. Without notice , Abiy took him to Kenya un prepared and got nothing from Kenya. When Dr. Bayleh took the Kenyans to international court, the Kenyan president came to Mogadishu to resolve the issue. As Trump had shown with the Syrian Golan Height issue, the international rule and law that guided the world since the second world war is disappearing. As Somalia passes one of our weakest time in history, predator nations could take advantage and annex some of the best and fertile land in Somalia especially the Jubba area. When you have landlocked nations like Uganda, Ethiopia, and Burundi debating Somali maritime territory and rules, we must all worry. They are probably shocked that how a failed state and dysfunctional government and people could own this prime real estate and ocean in the horn of Africa. In order to avoid theft of maritime resource and even the annexation of Somali proper, Farmaajo must quicken the withdrawal of foreign forces from somalia. It will diminish the future theft and domination by others. Those and many others reasons must be a case to fire and replace the foreign minister and his team. If he is overruled and Farmaajo is carrying his foreign policy in a whimp , then there is no hope of shuffling or changing things. I have even Seen the prime minister fly to Kenya without the foreign minister and do his personal business with Kenyan leadership. Waxaanu nahay dameer malab sida oo aan ogayn waxa uu sido. We are carrying a gold yet we do not know the value in our back. As I stated in these pages, the defense minister is missing in action. No one knows him, and no one has seen him speak or address the nation on the issue of soldiers and the missing salary. Same thing goes with the home affairs ministry. I have never seen him travel to the hotspots of the country. It was the first time today I saw him visit central Somalia. Just like the defense minister, the national security minister is an unknown hotel manager who usually discusses checkpoints or couple of soldiers who abandoned a check point.In other words , he acts like a police officer in Xamar Weyne. Furthermore, the national intelligence man is money carrying election hacker who thinks he can buy anyone just like the presidential elections. He spends most of his days to bribe warlords in the media and unemployed social media personalities to increase the popularity of the government. While politics is important in any system, it must end somewhere and the real work of nation building, performing your duty and regular work is an everyday thing. These tasks need honesty, dedication and commitment. The Southern ways of shortcutting things or being shrewd doesn't build long term and stable system. These and many other shortcomings can't be allowed to continue. Farmaajo is already in big hole and the chances to come out are very small, yet one must always try and dig himself out. To keep doing the same thing and not changing the course would be digging deeper. There are few options. Fire the prime minister and appoint a new one. Looking the choices Khayre made in his cabinet it is difficult to keep going the same bath. Having incompetent members of cabinet had allowed the prime minister to keep all decision making in his office and increase his workload. Weak members of the cabinet usually draw their salaries and try not ruffle any feathers. That is why the defense minister is not comfortable coming out to the media and make the case.Ministers are not allowed to make decisions and push the issues with confidence. The 66 men cabinet that is assembled are nothing but liaison officers to help them inside the parliament to defeat motions. Other than few members of the cabinet most of them had failed or sidelined by khayre. Furthermore, Khayre had failed to build a sustainable relationship with the Mogadishu community. As a local son , he should had the courage to confront the Mogadishu instability without fear and repercussions. He no longer have the confidence of the locals and as a bad police could no longer arrest or confront the anti peace elements. These and many other reasons should force Farmaajo to change course and get a new government for the remaining years. Renewing the mandate and getting a new government is one of the ways to energize the system. Make an overarching cabinet shuffle. Rather than micromanage everything, the prime minister must appoint known heavy weights to the cabinet and allow them to shine. Mr. Khayre must not expect his ministers to be school children that should be either muzzled or lectured. The last men who asked few normal questions---Yusuf Garaad and Juxa--were fired without cause. In fact, since Yusuf Garaad was fired the foreign policy of the country was going down the drain.Mr. Garaad had managed the gulf Arabs and their blockade saga very well, he nurtured the Turkish bond and release hundreds of Somalis from foreign jails. He must change at least those who are involved in defense, interior, security and intelligence. In fact, it could be argued these three, the interior, defense and intelligence were appointed to fill their tribal slots without qualifications. If anyone of those options are impossible then you must expect to make your bed in that hole. If you do not change the course, you could become the worst president since Carta government. Do not listen to the unemployed social media kids and others who would never tell you the truth. Somalia is in the crossroads and change of course is a must.
  20. Ethiopian prime minister Abiy had asked even Qatar to help create 40 thousand man navy to protect the the maritime region of the horn of Africa. It is very strange that landlocked nations like Uganda, Ethiopia, Burundi and other are trying to take control of our sea. Rather than prepare their eventual withdrawal from Somalia in the near future , landlocked nations want to take over maritime resources. If the Farmaajo foreign policy continues, we might lose the whole country. Farmaajo is a good man but, half way his mandate shows that he gave up a lot to others without getting back anything. If this any other president the whole nation would have been arms to depose him. I suggest to Farmaajo to open new and different kind of talks with Somaliland and try to salvage something.
  21. The issue is not about the speech , it is about how the president is out of touch with reality. He is addressing these fake generals like children. these issues should be addressed in closed door meeting.He is probably talking to the wrong generals. Those who promised him of victory two years ago had been already relieved of duty by himself. It is the same game. I saw a clip of Khayre addressing his own office employees and aides about the merits and importance of their jobs and broadcasting it to the world. You can't give someone an assignment as big as defeating Al-shaabaab and go to your business and then come back after two years and ask them if they done their job. The war effort isn't a project that must be checked every two years. It is daily , weekly and monthly report . It is the most important task of his government. His whole government should focused of on security. The health ministry must recruit nurses and wards for the soldiers. The public works ministry must build housing and bracks for the army; the transport industry and energy must work delivering fuel and food to the soldiers. The whole government must mobilize to help the army succeed. That is how a nation at the war acts and behaves. Just look at the big couches and sofas these fake generals are sitting. Every week there is " Xaflad" and party in Mogadishu. Folks, this in not a nation at war. just like most narco states where luxury living, bombs and parties live side by side. As usual they blame everything to the last president whose soldiers he deployed to Baraawe four years ago are still there. Just like those before him, he was busy with other things like flying around. Does anyone knows who is the defense minister of Somalia, the most important job of all?, no one knows him. He was just one of those picked from the crowd to fill the 4.5 slot of his clan. If the minister can't handle his duty then fire him.You have a national security minister who explains the Mogadishu check points, and not the national security of the country. They have the most incompetent people leading the most important jobs. THey are acting like a government that hundreds of thousands of soldiers scattred from Kismaayo to Djibouti border. Most of these soldiers are based just less than hundred kilometer from the capital. anyone serious would know what is going on unless they are out of touch or secluded in Mogadishu. Farmaajo just gave these guys another two years, by the time he comes back, it will be too late.
  22. PeaceAction, Of course from time to time we could all be delusional , yet sometimes , the line between genius and madness becomes very blurry. We really do care about our brothers in Mogadishu and no one in the world can sustain these games of changing shirts and presidents 16 years consecutive which brings deadly results every four years. We do believe that we northerners have been always more serious than the southerns in many issues including approach to state issues, patriotism, Soomaaliniom, culture and even Somali literature. Certainly we are more tribal than the south and the melting pot of Mogadishu , yet we would never had sat there watch the carnage. we don't consider these things " Caadi Waaye ". If there is a way to bring Somaliland to come back to the Somali family including ruling others and change of capital, I would do in heart beat. For those of us in the diaspora, the biggest dream of all dreams is a united , peaceful Somalia. Waar, Illaah baan idinku dhaarshee Turubka baandheeye oo dhhiga ummada joojiya. The day five hundred Somalis were murdered in one place should have been a D Day for any Somali leader with conscience.
  23. Haddi Wasiiradan la xidho ama la maxakamdeeyo, Waa talaabo xaga sharciga oo hore loo qaadatay. I hope it is true. If these two men arrested, Muuse Biixi is building institutions for real. Let us wait
