Apparently he opposed Iley in the past resulting in the death of his brother. He is not a member of the current party in the Somali region meaning he has no affiliation or base which brings up the question who does he represent? The only logical conclusion is he was handpicked by Addis.

Keep us updated.

He's already being called a stooge appointed by OPDO which might be an accurate description since the whole selection process took place in Addis.

Anyone know who is he?

How do you know that?

Ciid wanaagsan all.

In London actually. Addis is trying to Shide guy.

Let's not insult the Mujahid

A good start but they need to real change and genuine inclusion.

Silly folks but they should hold Muse and co accountable.

You and I share same language, religion and culture but what would that do for you if I am killing you. It is like reminding Yemenis what they have in common with the Gulf Arabs while the Gulf are bombing them to the stone age.

Yes, there are no permanent anything but unless there are real changes, there is no way forward. I couldn't care if peace with Somalis is achieved with Habeshi or Oromo as long as peace made possible.

So, you think the answer is more violence carried out by an entity under foreign protection?

Like every other political initiative they have been involved, I have full confidence in UAE's inability to achieve their attended result.

Actually, I just posted the article and I haven't commented on it. That said I have been sympathetic to Oromo cause and I did think we were natural allies since we had a common enemy. We can still work together but nothing will matter if they continue killing us.

Too much caffeine perhaps!

Brute force? So, you want another civil war?

You are part of 'blame Somalis first brigade'. This kid doesn't need any motivation to hate Somalis. He was already hateful and so are many his Oromo folks including 'our Muslim' brothers. Isn't curious the same intense level hatred is not directed at Tigray?

Removing this guy will not solve the larger problems, chief among them completion of the constitution, integration of forces, tax collection and good governance. This moron will be replaced by another moron and that moron won't be any better unless there is a system in place.

Really? How do you know?

Xaaji, You have your interest and Galbeedi has. Galbeedi, If anything, I hope Somalis become pragmatic. We don't have to like each other but it has been clear and is becoming more clear everyday political unity is necessary in order to weather the winds of change in the Horn. More importantly, political unity is vital if we want to get the proverbial cad in the Ethiopia empire. For political unity to be possible, a genuine reconciliation and inclusive politics are necessarily. And lastly a system of government that will protect the individual.

Oodweyne, The Somali Region is a litmus test for all groups, in the case of Abiy, it is to see how much he can flex his muscles and for the older order, they want to see how much they can slow him down before they play their ultimate hand. But there's an immediate problem for Abiy in Oromia which has really become a completely autonomous region under the rule of Lemma Margese. It must be noted it was Lemma that paved the way for Abiy. Lemma controls the Oromo Liye forces, police and now Querro. The Jawar character has no real base. However, Lemma does and Lemma is an Oromo nationalist who turned a blind to the massacres of Somalis, Amhara and Tigrays. I also want to note the foreign minister and Lemma facilitated the OLF meeting in Asmara. Despite the peace agreement, OLF still insists on self-determination. Ethiopia can't dismantled easily but there are enough groups within existing political structure that have no problem with balkanized Ethiopia. Galbeedi, The article 39 was designed for Tigray though he might have been sold to the Somalis as compromise.

We are not greedy, we just crave power more than others, you know how one person like chocolate more than someone else Come one now, don't kick out Habro, they need D!r vs D-Block (Irir vs D) narrative when it suits them. On serious note, Inclusivity is the keyword here, there will be no change without broad support.

The problem for Abiy is trying to accommodate too many groups that have different and often competing interests. Sooner or later, he would have to choose a side.

Ifiye It actually would be nice if Ducale was looking out for his folks but he has a problem with Puntland, jubaland, Farmaajo, the Sayid, etc. Tallaabo, Considering Ileys victims were mostly OGs, that is quite statement.
