Galbeedi is soliciting for a job with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ma safiirnimo raadinisaa?

From AMISOM to ATMIS, from UNPOS to UNOSOM to UN-Somalia office. It’s all semantics and won’t change nothing on the ground, Somalia as a state will remain a patient kept a life by the infuse of the int community.

It’s a group of water officials who were having their an annual meeting in Jigjiga and went on a field visit to Wajale. Hardly has any political relevance.

As a City Xamar could generate sufficient revenues to sustain its municipal basic service deliveries, however those revenues and aid you mentioned are generated not by or for the Municipality, but by the federal government and to main the administration and security apparatus. Without external aid, it won’t be able to sustain the Federal government and let alone the security apparatus which even go beyond the budgets of the Federal government (ATMIS). Yes, I think the FGS is a burden to Xamar and its economic potential. The politics, security, and bureaucracy required to maintain federal government in the City, is literally paralyzing mobility, civic engagement/ownership and developing any sort of economic potential Xamar has. If the seat of government (Ministries, Parliament and Presidency) were to relocate to another town or even develop a new town from scratch, would prove to be positive for Xamar as it would liberate the city from the chokehold it is currently in, and spark it’s economics. You could have the same kind of situation as Tanzania where Dar es Salaam is the economic powerhouse with much of the administration still there, but where they outsourced the politics to Dodoma as the seat of the Government. And many other countries that similarly have capitals seperate from the seat of government. I think this would even improve the political dimension and dialectics, if (Somali) politicians were to be put in closer proximity in a different more basic environment without too much distractions, facilitating more connection, communication and coordination. Think of having all political actors metaphorically together in a sort of more traditional Deegaan like environment under the ‘Gob’ tree, a sort of Taleex atmosphere, surely that sort of environment would help the dialogue and resolving of contentious issue. Somali’s say,’Garta geed ba lala tagaa’, and surely what Somalis need is a politics based on mediation, dialogue and compromise. Put people together for a few weeks in a rural environment, with the most basic of services and comfort, and surely it would provide the tranquility, modesty, connection and empathy needed to facilitate postures and mindset to resolve issues. Naturally, there are other factors at play that need to be taken in to account in order to make sound political, socio-economic decisions on these kind of structural and institutional design issue. the biggest 2 factors at play being; Reconciliation and Peace(Arsenal). This is just my reflection on things.

Not sure where your going with your hypothesis here, do you mean Xamar as a city to generate revenues for municipal service delivery, or Xamar as in the FGS to cover its own budgets or Xamar as being an own FMS on equal footing with other States? But the coastal city has definitely the potentially to become a major tourist, trade and logistics hub surpassing even Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and generate quite the revenue streams. But perhaps the economic potentially of this great city is being held back by the burden and cost of being the political capital?’

Because it’s a business, with investors hoping for a return and if those investors receive an offer of 40% or more return on their investment, surely most would sell irrelevant of who the buyer is.

I meant won’t the fighting between the two tribes in Sitta have impact on the relations between them and stability of Djibouti. So, If IOG or his clan folks are involved and win against the Afar tribe in Sitta, won’t that enrage the Afars in Djibouti?

Won’t this have an impact on Djibouti?

Ethiopia strategically plays neighboring countries against one another to renegotiate favorable port deals, tariffs and access, and Kenya turns the table by renegotiating on energy. Mature countries who are driven by their own interest, nothing wrong with this. Headless Somali’s could learn one or two things if they paid any attention and took a moment to learn and think beyond their tainted clan perspectives,
