Reading his info, he is a humanitarian guy with a lot of influence. Why did he go to Qatar? Is he being groomed for a political office?

Are the blue dots airports with radar equipment?

MBS is an out-of-control animal. Jordan is a very stable, moderate country which is home to so many Palestinians. Saudi Arabia is trying to destabilize it. Jordan should close its border with Saudi Arabia.

The spoiler clique hiding among Mogadishu citizens must be eliminated without causing clan uproar. How should the government do it?

I am not a fan of travel but I do want to see Finland as I have relatives there.

^^ Che is not a huge fan of the Oromos too.

Old Observer admires the Somali people. We should welcome him with open arms. We don't care if he is a Yahuud or Siberian. His ethnicity is irrelevant.

The failed mission has created many problems and I hope government officials can move beyond this and focus on the real issues facing the country. What is done is done. Let the nation move forward.

Somali police deserve more money from the government. They don't have to collect donations to equip basic stations. It is shame.

This could make Somaliland demand more money from UAE for defense, or get out of the Berbera deal and run with money they already took. Those are the two good options. The other option is for Somaliland to stick with the original deal and get subjected to daily rocket attacks devastating its coastal regions.

He is a decent Somali. I wish him more success in the future.

@bestp1 soo dhawoow.

Whoever that opened this business is smart. Mogadishu has a growing middle class and women in Mogadishu need a shop like this.

Can I add pictures here? First batch of Somali armed forces graduate from the newly opened Turkish military training base in Mogadishu armed with Turkish made weapons. #SomaliaIsRising

Where is that? I am feeling strong tea tonight.

^^ Beautiful. Congrats again. You did well opting for that beautiful traditional wedding in Hargeisa. Planning a traditional Somali wedding takes much more time and effort than throwing run-of-the-mill Western wedding.

What if the Turkish base in Mogadishu was expanded slowly to surrounding areas to eventually absorb all of Mogadishu districts. It is not a small construction job and the project may take 5 years from planning, design to construction, but I strongly believe it can be accomplished. This would create a massive job boom and kick-start true rebuilding.

He spoke well. Is this the first press conference by Somali political actor taking questions from media? This is progress.

@Libaax-Sankataabte , is she also marwo? Just curious.

Congrats, whoever she is.

Che, please keep this issue alive. You are doing the Somali poeple a great service. Thank you for exposing the barbaric treatment of our Somali brothers in Ethiopia.

I support this action 100%.

It was a foolish move to torture the man.

Every politician is watching out for own interest. Nobody cares about the people.
