Somaliland wanted to meet with the Garaads inside Laascaanood. Or Djibouti. They turned down both options and instead wanted Addis Abeba. As if Addis Abeba is gonna make any difference. But if that is what they wished, so it shall be. From Hargeisa side, the venue is not as important, what is important is to hold genuine talks with the Garaads with eye on preserving the borders as inherited from Great Britain on 26th June 1960. All other things are negotiable.

Nac-nacda baraha bulshada. Mike Tyson is quoted as saying "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.” from then on, it is about survival. You have not seen much of what Somaliland Army is capable of, but you will see if the current IC brokered talks break down. You are talking about Commanders, the Somaliland Army if they so wished they can go to Garowe and capture Deni himself.

Desperate people from all over South Somalia arrive in Mirqaanwayne in DDS where Refugees from Laascaanood congregated. They think they will get a chance to be relocated to North America. Crazy.

So far, the people that were captured include many Daarood clans from Ogaden to MJ to Warsangali etc. A number of Liyu Melitia leaders were also killed . This man from Gaalkacyo posted on Facebook that he was in Gambadhe area... few days later he died of wounds sustained in the Gambadhe clashes. Captain Yawle

Tallaabo, This Laascaanood conflict was actually brewing for many years, it just surfaced after the death of the young politician Hadraawi. It also has roots to Jigjiga Conference where the Garaads declared Armed conflict. So, it is very unfair to blame this on the response to the protestors in December last year alone. Anyway, the issue right now is not about that at all. The conflict has expanded and today every Daarood clan has brought their clan melitia to Laascaanood. Our job is to make sure we defeat them once and for all.

It is really funny seeing long time anti-Somaliland groups see-sawing between Genocide Posts and "End of Somaliland" posts. Stick to one side, you can't have it both ways.

Politics and diplomacy is delaying that, but the army is ready for whatever eventuality. Somaliland let the Garaads convene their Conference in Laascaanood and the policy has always been from the get go to hold talks with the Garaads. The Army has been restrained by that policy.

Taliyaha Ciidanka Qaranka General Nuux Taani oo ka hadlay xaalada Laascaanood. There has not been any major engagement in the last week or so. In other news, mounting pressure on Garaads has forced them to accept peace talks to be held in Addis Abeba. The preliminary teams from both sides are said to be preparing to depart for Addis Abeba in the next few days.

Gaarhaye is MJ.

Durba sow dinkan keer keeray. Waxa Bosaso ilaa Kismaayo microphone lala dhex socdo magaalooyinka "yaa Daarood Ismaciil aheey"... kkk Idinka sheekadi maamulo dhex taalay Daarood u geeyey, ceebta halkaa ka dhacda hadhaw qirta guusha ninka iska leh, hadii kale gocor xun oo gobonimo aqoon noqda.

Bal mar dhaw yaan lagaa maqlin Djibouti this, Djibouti that. Ileen waadigan laabta usii daayay daacayadaha Somaliland gudaheeda. Libinta kolka aan soo hooyo, bal ha noqon gocor xun, u qir libinta ragga soo hooyay.

The 3rd World, spontaneous civil unrest is very hard to control even for 1st world countries. In the 3rd World countries, they are done with mass killings and state of terror. But when you want to not hurt the people and open for dialogue, of course you have to retreat and let the euphoria die down. The fact that for the past 2 weeks all of the Daaroods brought their melitia and still unable to have any chance of winning should tell you that, thus far, the Somaliland army has been playing softly softly approach.

Gooja Cade taariikhda ayuu gali doona. Daarood Melitia Fadalkay dhigaan, samaan ka samaan ayu geelu ka cabi doona. Fardo la isu hayo maxaa la isaga faa nin. Hal request naga aqbala, don't run towards the urban areas. Ninkii Guryaha shacabka gala, should really accept defeat.

Grand Opening of Berbera Economic Zone.

The easiest way for you to capture Gooja cade is if you field a line of what **** call Guutada-koowaad ( otherwise known as women and kids) before your melitia. That line of women and children is enough to spook us and we will run away. We just can't find the guts to target Guutada Koowaad. Btw, dagaalka ugu wayn wuxu ka dhacayaa dhanka Boholaha Xargaga oo Ciidankii ugu adkaa Somaliland keentay shalay.

LOL draw all the arrows you want, just one arrow will be true, the arrow of running towards the houses and going behind woman's Googarad for cover.

Tomorrow is the grand opening day for Berbera Economic Zone. One of the largest Freezones in Africa.

Whoever they are, Laascaanood is probably the departing terminal to the next world for many of them. Don't worry about the Bless Republic, we are a different kind. When our enemies think "That is it", is actually when we are making our greatest leap forward. Just watch this space.

War bixintii dagaal ka dhacay shalay dhanka Waqooyi galbeed ee magaalada

Fake news is part of the war, I give you that. Anyway, it looks like today has been a quiet day. Both sides are getting ready for a major escalation in the next day or two. The Daarood (As they want to be called now) melitia have come from far afield. If the Daarood get defeated, the Daarood community in many South Somalia regions will become Maato or unarmed communities. This is a high stakes gamble. One which history will record. Game on.

A heavy fight is going on the Western side of Laascaanood where the Army is pushing towards the suburbs on the Western side of the town.

Somaliland Army went on the offensive early in the morning and around 9am, felt back as if they were being beaten, but it was tactical to draw the Maryo-calas far away from the Urban area. Then a massacre ensued more than 100 bodies and still counting and tens of Prisoners. Also 3 pickup trucks were captured a number of others destroyed.

Guys, peace will come, on Somaliland's terms. You can take that to the bank. This whole thing will not last. The Army is not going anywhere. In fact, the Somaliland tax payer is getting a return for their investnemtns into the army. They would otherwise be in a barracks doing nothing, they must as well get something done. But you cannot say the same on the otherside. The children that are given guns, the business men, the teachers, these will have to find a way to make ends meet. It is a wonderful world and it works in ways you cannot imagine. We will keep the pressure and also olive branch at the same time. If we have to, we will try to expand the sphere of war and include Garowe into the calculations. We have time and we have money.
