Listen to this speech addressed towards Garaad folks by Mahamud Hashi, what do u make of it?

He was about to say, ‘waxa la idin ka rabaa ina wax badan dhiig (daadisiin)’. Sending freshly recruits with zero military experience, zero battle experience, with even zero guarding exp, immediately to the front. Someone needs to still answer questions on where the +10.000 troops are, which 40%+ of the SL budget was spend on all these decades. This really needs to be investigated, all the facts collected and Nuux Tani and Co brought before a court or investigation to answer questions. This is unacceptable.

atleast adhigaasi waxbuu so dhalay, kuwan siiyasiinta ah mexee dhalaan.

What you’re preaching one moment is contrary to what you’re saying and actions of the next day, that’s what wrong here. It’s schizophrenic! You can’t govern a country based on the emotional whips of a clan or individual supported by his clan, and one has to separate the two and choose whatever politics, laws and line of thinking one has agreed upon, above what the boiling (clan) blood is dictating at that moment. One has to admit and fight to control this constant ‘cadifad’ that is taking over any discussion, argument, and issue at hand. And perhaps it would help if every government or political officials starts writing’ down everything, their speeches, comments, their discussions, their agreements, notes from their meetings, and to keep their mouths shut unless they have written down something on paper, for that should be the language, medium and standard to do things by.

Muse already weakened and divided your sub-clan, politically, economically, and now your desperately looking for a way back on big chair, in meantime division will continue and you have new emerging civil war at your doorsteps, in Sanaag, and soon Oog, and Buhoodle. Your politicians are more divided then ever, and nothing can unite even on Mise they are divided. Let’s see what you gain from your new ‘politics’, and further sub-clan division. I can already see you crying in a year for Habro and Somali unity, Marku xaalku faraha ka baxdo.

I don’t blame u, Xaaji Xunjuf thoughts it’s a sexual dance, meant as a form of pre-mating ritual dance. The dance has been fervently debated here on SOL, some cultural barbarically even stating it should be banned. https://www.somaliaonline.com/community/topic/64281-niiko/#comments

I hear the Xamari song, but don’t see any forms of Niiko being exercised. Mr.Ilyria, are u labelling again by throwing the Xamari songs and Niiko dance on the same pile of koonfurian culture?

No, as in a commentator or analyst of the Niiko dance, so to say. ‘Northerners’, excuse my connotation, seem to hold distorted views of the Niiko and it’s underlying meanings. Read below thread.

I see your quite the cultural critic, we should consider you for the house cultural critic and connaisseur, but how is your expertise beyond music, such as forms of other cultural forms, e.g. dance, poetry, literature. P.S. I have been voted the house ‘Niikotologist’ a few years back, so that spot is taken.

Makes much sense, and eventually they might perhaps once It’s clear Mogadishu politicians are focussed on South-Central Somalia and has no need in new States or unity for that matter, but only wants them waving the blue flag during 1 Luulyo. When can we expect to hear from Maakhir, it’s quite silent from those corners.

I am sure she lived and worked in Bosasso, but she rised and became famous in the Diaspora. We are talking about homegrown and federalist enabled talents in the likes of Maryan Mursal, Ahmed Naaji aun, Omer Dhuule. Would they be able today to rise and become huge talents in the clan based federalism of today. My take is, they would not. Not saying federalism is wrong, but it wouldn’t enable talents and excellence, specially from disenfranchised communities. Prove me wrong, Mr.Ilyria.

Miss Laki rised and became well known while in the Diaspora and not while she was in Somalia, same for Didi Naaji. So I won’t count these, talking about home grown(federalist enabled) talent and not Diaspora residing YouTubers rising through online likes and clicks.

Don’t know them and neither can judge their talents . Will let our resident urban cultural critic and Beesani spokesman (MMA) be the judge.

Let’s see, I haven’t seen any talents from Beesani community in Somalia rising up since Federalism.

That’s what you get when Business people leading the people and running the country. Not sure if the Unuka guys in Xamar and Deni are different though, maybe they have less hubris.

Have a safe trip home, and have a good rest there. FYI, both XX and Baaloxoofto left SL a long time ago and have no hopes for the country, their game is nowadays to score online points against Dblock during work breaks and defend Heego politics from other envisions enemies. And neither is planning to retire in SL, or has hope in that place but want to keep hope for tolka winning alive and who can blame them. So everyone looses at the end, even Duriyada, nevertheless we should keep hope for the Somali people alive, as our fate is intertwined and interdependent irrelevant whatever wars and structures have been adopted. Keep that in mind young fella.

I met in Dubai back in 2012, when had to leave his new home in Yemen due to another war. Don’t know where he went after that. He seemed distraught, a true Wadani with the heart at the right place, always kept hope in Somalia and Somalis. May Allah forgive him and have mercy on him.

Above all no Caqli and Rational thinking, that cup goes to Sool indeed.

Sool and Muuse did, no denying that. But where one is celebrating to have achieved their goal (Sool), another is calling for more divisions and making even more enemies (Jeegaan/Heego). So the cup for deconstructing SL has to go to Heego/Jeegaan, sorry Sool but other team is not finished yet.

May Allah have mercy on him P.S. @Ilyria, as this is still the political section, I have to ask the obvious. Do u think federalism will be able to produce or enable artist, politicians, sportsman, writers and excellent in individuals like Ahmed Naaji aun, from the Xamari, Banadiri, Barawe, Mushungulis and other reer Beesani communities?

Under Siilanyo it was all about broader Habro community, now your saying it’s every Habro for themselves, next year it’s every Abokor, Muse and Ismail for himself. Let the clanisation continue, see where one hits bottom.

HA has 3 governors while Harti has one, Grx has 20+ MPs while Harti doesn’t even have 4 or 5, let’s be frank here.

Galbeedi, was that really a request from Habro’s? Second this whole assertion that one can be independent from eachother while hosting national infrastructure is a grave mistake, we have seen how that turned out in Mogadishu with decades of infighting and internal instability beyond the scope of a sub-clan to resolve, why do u think Somalilanders can have their cake and eat it to?

And what might that be?

Many folks don’t, and many folks do oppose this war and atrocities committed by SL from the start, even opposed and spoke out against the SL conduct in Sool long before the January uprising. But clearly it’s not always reflected in the waves of social media and neither side of the spectrum has an interest in these voices to be heard. https://www.somaliaonline.com/community/topic/246915-siyasiintii-iyo-odayaashi-beesha-sl-oo-tageersan-ssc-kasoo-horjeeda-huunada/
