This might sound weird buts its good in a way i believe they will be trained in Combat its good for the defense forces remember the key to a great army is training the better training the better the Military. I say good step Forward

This is the last town on the SL/somalia border as you can see in the video the Ugaas from that town has signed an agreement with Somaliland government last month and he already conscripted a group of men from His clan who will patrol the town,,the ugaas and his people are in complete support of the Somaliland government its just matter of time until the SL government fully annexes that town and the few towns near it.

Uganda trains Alshabaab Burundi wants to the war to continue for ever Ethiopia is there for the Cash and make sure no Somali army is ever re instated Kenya wants a bufferzone This is so sad, Somalia wala qaybsedey And the Elites of Somalia are just sitting there talking about Aid No priorities

Somaliland is not going to give its Land to Puntland or Somalia because there are some who claim the Land on Tribal reasons , if thats the case why doesnt Puntland claim parts wardheer and negotiates with Ethiopia on wardheer, and lets see if Ethiopias Somali region cedes territories to Puntland. Puntland should stop claiming Somaliland no one in sool wants Puntland some want more autonomy such as khatumo the rest are fully under Somaliland but you did not answer my question you are from laacanood as you claim dont you support Khatumo dont you want the talks be between Khatumo and Somaliland , where is Puntland in all of this or do you support Puntland???

Detoore odayga macaanka qaba kaasi waxba ka celin mayo lol.

Who are reer sool and sanaag does sanaag belong to one clan and sool one clan or are there multiply SL clans living there together, and who speaks for the people who is forcing who ? where do you see the force SL is a highly democratic nation , nothing is by force and its a good will. Are you saying these people in sanaag are forced Ceerigaabo Sanaag Badhan sanaag This obessesion and people being forced is neither here or there adeer Doctor are you a puntland supporter you said you are from Laascanood you dont support Khatumo? You are asking the wrong questions why dont Somaliland claims Djibouti or Southern Yemen By the way who speaks for the regions the politicians the elders. Why Should Somaliland change its borders when the people are happy with their situation. Have u seen Congo changing its borders when there are 250 different ethnic groups there. When Somaliland is the most homogeneous country in the African continent. By the way who said anything about ruling Somaliland is not a monarchistic Dynasty centered in Hargeisa its a democracy that every Somaliland citizens is equal to the law and the constitution and can rule the county if elected by the people. Somaliland does not have the 4.5 racist formula. The people of man one vote elected their leaders.

Peace what business does Puntland have in Taleex, last time i checked last year i massacred the garaad clan there, if SL goes to taleex it has nothing to do with Puntland By the way Somaliland has absolutely no beef with Puntland, Puntland is not in sool Khatumo is some parts of eastern sool, where is Puntland in all of this?? Detoore you dont understand Ethiopia is fine with the current status quo you dont understand the TPLF way of doing Politics the TPLF wanted to satisfy the bigfoot clan while not antagonizing the Somali federal government. Ethiopia wishes that there should be a future Border conflict between Somalia and Somaliland. So they allow it to be in the open.

Samafal dee Diktoorka ayaa yidhi dagaal baanu so qaadayna ma iman kara taleex weye suaaasha, qolyihi budlhayn wadanaha bay farta ku hayaan

Detoore Budhlayn meeday deee waali wala sugayaaa..

^^ It was not only a bad idea it was a catastrophe i have never seen a Union that would cause the entire collapse of both Somalia and Somaliland literately. When the Union came to existence Somalilanders brought allot of culture and traditions to Somalia of Nomadic habbits and culture to Mogadishu. While the southerners identified with their regions and were highly urbanized and predominately Farmers. Somalilanders felt dominated and believed they have lost and the southern and northern union was one sided, and the Southerners inherited from the Somalilanders the art of aba ablayn which led to their entire collapse , because Koonfurians have no conflict resolution mechanism. Political clanism became like toxic to them they concocted several formulas and violla u have 4.5 and Tribal federalism when the southerners were very united before. Somali folks existed yes before colonialism but saying Somali , u are not talking about a nation state a republic, there was never a unified republic before Colonialism nor was there a Somali Emperor who lorded over all Somalis. The Somaliland border is between the Garaad clan and the sssdf clan 5 km from Garowe. And historically the Garaad clan always had their separate chieftain separate from ssdf clan the Garaad clan was never part of the Maguartiania sultanate and during Colonialism it also had zero interaction with the Maguratnia sultanate, and even till this today how come the Garaad clan cant be part of the puntland admin if the Boundaries are artificial how come they either part of SL or want their separate entity called Khatumo. Somalia border with Kenya is a colonial one the Somaliland Somalia border is a colonial one the Somaliland Ethiopia border is a colonial one the Somaliland and Djibouti border is a colonial one. I think things happen for a reason Emperor Haile selassie annexed the Hawd and reserve area and Somalilanders united with Somalia to get that territory back and believed only a strong unified Somali republic can get that territory back. But Emperor Haile selassie saved the day in reality when the Somalilanders and General Muhammad Siad bare were fighting the Somalilanders found save heaven in Hawd Ethiopia the people would have been perished if Hawd was part of Somaliland at that time its not smart to put all your eggs in one basket. And today when the Civil war broke away in Somalia Somalis of Somalia fled to Kenya and found safe heaven there. Doctor do you want Somaliland to claim Nugaal and Bari fair enough if you want that than support Somaliland independence bid and we can annex atleast half of the Pirates territory and the Garaad clan reign over them.

I told u before detoore cabdi cawar is a failure , SL army wa niman birta calashada , maha sida niman aan ogahay , Detoore SL can take Garowe SL army has garowe on her sight only 16 miles. U are not in the position to make threats against the Afro hashimiate Nation.....

The mission is not completed he needs to make sure all territories fall under Somaliland , its going the right direction and all of the Garaad clan need to fully back Khatumo and no man remains in Garowe than he will he join SL, its part of the larger scheme , Galaydh knows that Khatumo as a state can never work and it needs an ally. Galayhd is the political symbol of the Garaad clan, its not about him joining its about him letting his fully join SL the last parts.

I have said it before that Uganda wants to prolong the conflict aslong as possible to eat the incentives it receives for as along as they can. Malistar and the Mogadishu elites consider Uganda an ally but in reality they are using Somalias misery to enrich themselves.

Ugandan soldiers serving with the AMISOM trained Al-Shabaab fighters By Pascal Kwesiga Wednesday, April 16, 2014 UPDF instructors trained ten Al-Shabaab fighters using African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) facilities on instructions from their commanders. Lance Corporal, Jackson Byabagambi, told the General Court Martial in Makindye, a Kampala suburb, Tuesday that the ten Al-Shabaab fighters were trained at Aljazeera training ground shared by AMISOM troops and Somalia National Army (SNA) last May. Maj. Frank Kawero, formally the training officer at Aljazeera training school and Capt. Hassan Wantimba, formally the school’s chief instructor, are facing trial for having allegedly sneaked the Al-Shabaab fighters into the military facility to attend training on firing guns. Byabagambi told court presided over by, Brig. Moses Ssentongo, that the alshabab fighters were trained under instructions from Watimba. He added that the SNA commandant in the camp stopped them from training the group because they were not known and their training had not been scheduled. “Watimba and Kawero then met the SNA commandant. After their meeting, Watimba told us to continue with the training without worry, but he asked us not to use SNA facilities,” Byabagambi said. The witness explained that the two weeks training took place at the time when the AMISOM commandant from Ethiopia was on leave and he had left Watimba and Kawero in charge. During examination by prosecutors Capt. Gerald Bamwitirebye and Lt. Ambrose Baguma, the witness said before the group arrived in the camp for training, Watimba told them to be prepared to train “a group” from alshabab
