I actually did watch semis and finals. It seems Emiratis can't do anything right. The blockade might have been the best thing that happened to Qatar. The experience changed them.

Great, Somali resources will be used to oppress Somali people.

I agree with him. A government should reflect its citizens.

Little of you wrote made any sense. If I understand you right, you are saying Villa Somalia is not in position to talk to Hargeysa and some international actors share that view. That begs the question what's stopping Hargeisa from gaining recognition considering Villa Somalia's ineffectiveness and IC willingness to engage with Hargeisa?

LOL, to the moon eh? Go to the outer space first. Considering how much in disarray Somalia is with no military and economic power and with belligerent tribes/regions and not to mention Al-shabaab/ Daacish and foreign interference, among of all secessionist entities in the world, Somaliland is in the best position to gain recognition. Yet Somaliland failed in that effort, this has more to do Somaliland's incompetence than with Southern sadism. Surely. Farmaajo whom you made point of telling us he is no position to do anything can't be an obstacle.

Sad truth but we are focusing on the wrong thing.

Good advice considering how much this community contributes to this region and if Puntland is serious about federalism, all citizens should be a priority.

He has your undivided attention!

I don't see that happening but we can hope.

It's a waste of resources indeed.

Sure, whatever helps you sleep.

Former presidents, regional leaders, federal MPs Senate Leadership, and President Farmaajo all expected to come Garowe. It's not clear if the Speaker is coming.

LOL Someone is late to my tol is this or that. Learn from Somalia and you will be better. Galbeedi, Abtigiis should be given time. He has been there only six months. And let's not forget any Somali leadership still answers to Addis. It's matter of how much genuine autonomy can they squeeze from Addis. But I agree with you, he must be inclusive in his approach.

Told by who?

The sad reality is the Somali region is/will be controlled by Addis. Your argument is a case of two bald men fighting over comb. More land and resources wilk be lost to neighboring regions long as Somali political disunity persists. And Abiy is buying time, he's to be the next Zenawi once takes care of OLF and Woyanes. The best thing that could happen to Somalis is peaceful Balkanization of Ethiopia, that seems unlikely at least for the near future Even an independent Somali region might turn into Somalia if not carefully managed.

You are losing it. What happened to you that turned you into a moron? Seek help!

Galbeedi, You are being kind to him. I think Madoobe gave him a piece of government land on Kismayo beach front.

What's get to do with anything? You accused en entire Somali clan of terrorism based on what? Unless you became a house nigga for Kikuyus?
