Maakhiri, Here's Ceel-Daahir

Talk about wasted water. We lack imagination and allowed ourselves to be led by cruel crooks. Djibouti is underwater as well. People were literally dying of thirst in Gedo, Bay, and Bakool. Go anywhere in the Somali peninsula, we are either dying of thirst or drowning in water.

Danab and Gorgor have been disciplined. No units from the two abandoned their bases or vocally sided with any group or person. Elements within Haramcad Police Units did defect. There's a Duufan, these are new units and mostly derived from Bay, Bakool, SSC, Galmudug, and Gedo. They remained loyal. As a pre-condition, the opposition now wants the PM and SNA to reincorporate the defectors. It is worth noting the majority of the fighters on the opposition side are clan militias that were incorporated into the fledging SNA.

A small group of Haramcad defected today. Warlords are becoming emboldened again. The reality is the 'opposition is only interested in stopping Farmajo's candidacy. Even if Farmajo was to go, they have no plan. What's Tarzan said. They will turn each other.

Shirwac, I think you are right. The whole thing was to make sure Farmajo does not run again, though I have to say he didn't help the situation. If there is a silver lining, future leaders will have a hard time extending their mandates without an election. An attack on Rooble will split the opposition, not that they were going to agree on anything.

Speech

At this point, they have to or they will be shooting themselves on the foot.

I am for it if he is able to deliver for the Somali people. The next president needs to do four things in order to spare the people this headache. Complete the constitution, set up the constitutional court, free the south from Al-Shabab, and seek budgetary independence.

It doesn't matter. The responsibility still falls on Farmaajo since he's the head od the state.

I guess any subsequent government can exile whoever they don't like..
