I hate to see our people being humiliated but I gotta say Iley deserves everything that comes his way. There's a lesson in this for all Somali leaders including Abtigiis.

It is amazing to see some Somalis willingly to throw Somalia under the bus simply that they don't like Farmaajo. I rarely see any other society doing that.

The NGO clique is running out of income stream. Somalia was their cash cow.

They wanted their cake and eat it too.

Khadafi, I concur on all points. It is a slow decline or death that needs to be accelerated in order for the Horn to find lasting peace. The TPLF might be out of the picture, but as you said they did implant the seeds of destruction. Amhara wants to supplement Tigray as the new lords, but with rising of ethnonationalism and the revival of cultural and linguistic rights of every nation, it is hard for anybody to take Ethiopia back to the old 'good' days. It is worth noting the Oromos that are actively fighting the state were the Christain Orthodox in Western Oromia. Amharas tried to create a narrative of Muslim extremists vs poor Christian victims. But it did not get any traction since the majority of Muslim Oromos are in the east and south.

I guess Abiy and Abtigiis are hand and glove.

Tillamook. The one thing, that is certain, is no one has ever had a hold on Kismayo through any broad support. This is true now and it was true when Morgan was controlling the city back in the day. But I admit Mr Black has outwitted Xasan Sheikh and Farmaajo. Besides, he is such a chameleon.
