The allocations are deeply unfair even on subclan levels. My subclan are found in large numbers in Doolow, Beledxawo and Luuq yet my subclan got only 2mps compared that to Madoobe clan or Puntland community that might be 1/3 the size of my subclan in "jubbaland". Others such as jareer community and beesha 5and are marginalized to a disgusting point.

Alot of talk about a secret phone recording but noone can post this so called phone recording. It smells bad propaganda.

Its the same admin that was placed there by Kenya and now are telling the goverment of Somalia hands off. I think analysts and people in general gives to much credibility to this so called elections. Its basically election for who is going to be mayor of Kismayo. It will not have effect on the rest of Jubbaland and Gedo. Even if they try tactics like giving the presidency to someone from gedo. It will not work because the foundation of the house is not built properly and will come down as soon it meets resistance. And I will not support such person even if he is my uncle. One of these foundations is clan mp allocations and it does not reflect reality on the ground where Gedo community is majority and other communites like bantus, Djibouti south west people etc didnt not get their fair share. While Madoobe people and puntland community got more than what they deserve. Link is the current allocations of mp.

Shocking and sad news. AUN.

The same gandi who said that ""the *** can not go to Kismayo." in the leaked wikileaks docs? So much for educated.... Cable: 09NAIROBI1732_a WIKILEAKS.ORG

The proxy wars behind Kenya, Somalia rows WWW.THE-STAR.CO.KE Somali Parliament pushing for the withdrawal of the KDF.

If Madoobe has support of "real jubbalanders" why cant his tribal militia pass the outskirts of Kismayo? We both know the answer to that question. Dont think KDF will babysit Madoobe forever. If he wants to remain by force and sham elections there is consequences for that.

You dont have to eliminate someone who is self destructing. The only thing that is needed is to grab popcorn and watch the show. Madobe time is up and he has no say politically thus his desperate and pathetic behavior in Garowe meeting. He can accept that his time is up or cling to power as " Kismayo mayor" in the failed Kenyan backed Jubbaland project.

He is the mayor but also the governor of benadir with million residents. He has more right to sit there than Madoobe and Xaf.

I think this whole thing is no different from the other meaningless meetings and will only have one outcome. It will cast more doubt on the federalism project.

So where is this coup? Whats gonna happen buddy? Emotions and delusion is potent combo : )
