This dude actually thinks that everything will be hunkydory and business as usual. Ninkan waligii dad cadaan ah lama shaqayn ayay u badantay. The IC's concerns and frustrations as shown in the open letters in the past week were a "notice". It seems, VillaAMISOM's actions may have hastened a more different response from the IC soon. We will wait and see.

Cadnaan, Somaliland bari hore ayay Somalia meel iska saartay. Laakin Shisheeye (UN etc) ayaa Somaliland lugaha wali haysta. Kolka ciyaartu halkaa ayay maraysa la soco. Cheeseman will be very lucky to finish the rest of his term. Sidii Col. Yey Airport Jomo Kenyatta xilka looga xayuubiyay ayaa u laaban. Cheeseman wado khiyaali ah ayay iska ordaya, Ethiopia ayu rumaysanyay inay dalka u qabato deedna sidii Afwayne diig ka noqdo. Waa wax aan caqliga galayn.

The US House Foreign Affairs Gurus make a call.

3 injured in mortar attack on UN compound in Somalia Two United Nations staff members and a contractor were injured on Tuesday after seven mortars landed inside the UN compound in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. Nicholas Haysom, special representative of the UN secretary-general for Somalia, confirmed that none of the injuries is life-threatening and condemned the indirect fire attack. "Today's indirect fire attack on the main UN compound in Mogadishu may amount to a violation of international humanitarian law, and I deplore this unwarranted act of aggression against our personnel," Haysom said in a statement issued in Mogadishu. The militant group al-Shabab has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack, the first such attack this year. "No political agenda can be served through violence that deliberately targets staff members of international organizations who are supporting the consolidation of peace and the strengthening of governing institutions in Somalia," Haysom said. The UN envoy wished the wounded colleagues a full recovery.

The noose is tightening around Cheesemans neck which is has prompted him to do the unthinkable. He has declared the newly appointed UNSG Rep as Persona-non-grata.

If Garaad Saleebaan comes to Hargeisa, it will be a major coupe for President MBC. Garaad Saleebaan was the only Garaad for the past 27 years to consistently oppose Somaliland. While other Garaads came and go. Support from Garaad Saleebaan will hasten the removal of Puntland from the last few towns in Sool.

The word is out that majority of Sool/Sanaag MPs are those that Gaas preferred to help him re-elect. He slipped out of the town to escape any link to the forgery and engineered list. The new parliament has already been sworn in including the 5 men that Garaad Saleebaan mentioned. I have little doubt that Gaas will return.

Poor Cheeseman thinks that Ethiopia can keep him in Villa AMISom. He turned his back on those that have sustained the whole project, i.e. The EU/US donor countries. With Cheeseman failing to meet International Community's milestones and key expectations as agreed in the London Conference 2017. The IC have now set Jun 2019 as deadline to have very basics in place. Which is totally unattainable. But never the less that their date before they unwind their support and the whole AMISom "BS" collapses. Here is a sneak peek of what is to come.

From Jan 2018 to Jan 2019. Garaad Saleebaan oo u badantay in Hargeisa iska dhiibo.

Honestly, I laughed at the thought behind this headline. It feels like, this is the last credit card before declaring political bankruptcy.

A doze of reality check. It is a revelation indeed. The majority of hotel bombings are from assassination squads operating from Villa AMISom and other power centres. Another quote: "Farmaajo is betting Ethiopia will help him install him as a new dictator for Somalia, or Somalia will be back to sqaure one in civilwar" Other noteables: 1. No elections taking place in 2020 2. Alshebab will not be defeated 3. No Somali security force worthy of its name. 4. Current political leadership in Villa AMISom is on wrong track. 5. Corruption and power misuse

Cheeseman trying to take a leaf from Ina Yey's short lived dream to use "Xiniinyo Xabashi" to subjugate and bring Mogadishu under his clans' control.

Ahmed Madoobe knows that the vultures are circling. His hegemony over Kismaio could be undone in a flash of a light. Both Alshabab and rejuvenated JVA under the auspices of SNA led by old nemesis Gen. Indho Cade are hatching plans to unseat him.

Treachery implies that there was trust in the first place. Which can't be said with regards to ONLF. In fact, ONLF is lucky that we didn't declare war on them like they done during Afwayne era when they fashioned themsevles like Omar Al-Bashir's Janjaweed melitia.

One can never accuse Somaliland of Munaafaqnimo. It applied its policy clearly. Break it at your own risk. But the Munaafaqadda in South Somalia is on another level. Here you have their shameless politicians crying for "Somalinimo", "Midnimo" and what have you. Yet, doing this. I am sure, the ONLF members appreciate and respect the honesty and clear policy that Somaliland has, in comparison to the dishonest, insincere and cowardly backstabbing from South Somalia. This youngman's story is also a testimony that Somaliland had no witch-hunt policy towards ONLF. It is open secret that a lot of low ranking members lived in Somaliland without any issues. A sidenote, what SOL's janitor failed to tell the gallery is that, the ONLF would never go to Baydhabo. In fact, it is safer to go to Jigjiga than to Baydhaba. At least in Jigjiga you can hide in the safety in numbers. In Baydhaba, they do not handover, the Habashis rule the place and the locals there have no say who the Habashes kill, jail or do whatever. Nin naagtiisi lagu hor faraxumeeya muxu ka hadli karaa?

We thank you for the sacrifices you have made, even beyond the call of duty,” CS Omamo said. During her visit, the Defence CS intimated that her visit was also to see and experience the soldiers’ everyday life in order to find out how she can better support the soldiers.

Somaliland Army Chief "We will destroy them in their hideouts" Somaliland Army leadership do no bluff. They say what they mean, they mean what they say. The Army will give Garowe space to hold its selection process in peace. However, any new leader that will replace Gaas next year is on notice.
