I would say now they see the bigger picture. It was the brainchild of Tuur to ally USC & SNM to topple Siad Bare dictatorship after the Baligubadle conference which has proven successful. So expect new ideas to deal with the threats from Puntland and Jubbaland.

I was always critical of Puntland role as a spoiler in Somalia. Ruunta ficaan laysku sheego.

Puntland has smuggled weapons to terror groups namely Khaatumo & Al shabab in its Bosaso ports and Garacad docks which in turn caused security issues in Somaliland & Galmudug. It can no longer be ignored.

Unless it shows development commitments to its support bases (the Oodweyne road, Ceerigaabo airport and Borama airport). We need to see results.

I agree. We shall see his cabinet picks that will give us a bigger picture.

Cirro is from a well off family unlike Muse Bihi I don't think he is here to loot the little Somaliland has. But yes he should be careful from corrupted individuals using his name to loot. A big task awaits him rebuilding Somaliland economy and army.

Crazy year 2023-2024. Muse Bihi administration finally got what it deserved, AUN to Siilanyo. Lastly congrats to Cirro and if he tries to be corrupt like the Muse Bihi admin I will oppose him too. We want to see rapid development in the next 5 years inshallah. Wa idin saalamay reer SOL.

Even if Cirro wins (very unlikely as he will be cheated as usual) the troops in the area will remain intact as they are defense forces for the locals. With SSB and Khaatumo both armed we need to be 10x more armed. Simple as.

Just self administration of their areas (which is already in effect).Then wait out the evitable collapse of remaining Somaliland after that decide which new mamuuls to join.

They are putting their interest first. 90% of their lands is out of Somaliland control now, if you walk between Dararweyne and Bohol you won't see Somaliland, so self administration of local areas is the way to go.

This is unrelated to elections. Only Reer Hargeisa and reer Burco believe in elections and that nonsense.

I agree that is the western part of the community (led by the likes of Cirro & Faysal) as they believe in Somaliland and Duyaradism. What you see you in the video though is local troops of the Dararweyne district, a month ago the Khaatumo flag was even raised there. So they don't believe in Somaliland, no cash can buy them.

The Bohol & Dararweyne community have created their own paramilitary to combat and deter secessionist backed SSB militia. Rest of G36 should follow suit to protect their interests.

Somaliland has no democracy (that has been proven by multiple failed delayed elections, unlawful arrests of civilians and journalists). Since 2017 Somalia and Puntland state had held two presidential election/selections, while Somaliland is still stuck in 2017. The only thing Somaliland had it going for was the "democracy" thing and even if that disappeared.

Well that is thanks to Khaatumo's defeat of Somaliland forces in Las Anod. It is a old map.

With 40% of its original landmass missing (controlled by Khaatumo and Puntland), delayed elections, mass arrests & executions of civilians, committing genocide in Las Anod.In the remaining Somaliland on the western front (Awdal) there is tensions that could lead to another Las Anod like revolution. In the central part they are waiting for elections and if that doesn't happen it will likely lead to civil war.

Well it was Hassan Sheikh and Osmar Omar Guelleh that cozied up to Muse Bihi but it seems he betrayed them.

There is no choice but to remove him forcibly now. I agree he should have been taken out at his weakest after 25 August.

According to bloomberg sea access was exchanged for a mere shares in Ethiopian airlines (most likely Muse Bihi himself or his relatves). There is no recognition deal.Now with that in mind what do residents of the coastal areas of Berbera and Djibouti benefit from this deal? all it will do is take away money from Berbera and Djibouti ports will become unviable as 120million Ethiopians will no longer be forced to use it as they have a free port.

Ha Geele kama qasna but I wonder if he will give Somaliland more weapons considering they lost a lot of Arsenal. Or he is scared UN embargo watch catching him.

Haada siidi hore maha no one wants that smoke in their areas and their civilians fleeing which is why CM of Sheekh avoided getting involved in Gacanlibaax affairs. They are wiser from 1992 Sheikh and Berbera clashes where they lost hundreds of people and Berbera itself. Hadaba Gacanlibaax forces operate in Cadadley, Godaweyn, Oodweyne, Xaaji Saalax etc cidna uguma tagdo dhulkooda they can declare a mamuul tommorow if they want.

Nobody trusts those elders anymore because there is no reliable partner on the other side so anything agreed can't be guaranteed (Muse Bihi is very unreliable).

Geele and HSM mislead Muse Bihi and this is the result. Somaliland is not tiny Djibouti there is too many competing interests.

Galbeedi I know Somaliland in political crisis is actually due to the likes of Salebaan Gaal (Guurti) that enabled Muse Bihi and the young man head of the commission (married to Siilanyo daughter). Lkn maxa ka racay meelkasta jab. Marka systemka dhan ba khaldan, it has to go. It is a good chance for both the G36 Galbeed and Awdal go their separate ways this is a failed project it is not worth the investment.
