LOL, These guys were not opposed to oppression. They just wanted to be oppressors!

Amazing.

Turks are smart. They are not settling in the country but they are shaping the minds of the next generation of Somalis. They are building another base and started investing the economic aspect, dams for Shabelle. Things are mutually beneficial at-least for now. The problem is Somalis have no policy in place that will take advantage of that, amateurish politicians/ Other countries come and go, bribe their way but Turks are pacing themselves.

Exactly! They might as well let every sub-clan have their own party.

I call it Xalaal store syndrome. Abdiwali is trying to pull Faroole's move.

I have think they have outlived their purpose just like nomadic life is no longer useful existence. And I am sure some are sincere people but more often than not, they are someone else's tools.

The good professor accepts Hargeysa is independent of everyone else and Mogadishu is no position to stop anything. How did Ethiopian Government come to own 19% of shares? Apparently, you do

Holac, Unukaa leh can't coexist with statehood. Besides, I don't think these old men care much for their clan, they need a cut.

Morons!

I feel the lives of these young men will be wasted. They are fighting noble fight but they are led by !diots with no sense of purpose or urgency.

Tillamook, They have put themselves in unattainable position. That's what happens when you three decades undermining your neighbors and oppressing your fellow your countrymen not to mention robbing the state blind. Whatever Observer says the word Somali will be in there

The extent and speed with which Mueller probe is moving amazingly fast. He is meticulous investigator with very specialized competent team. Even the republicans are giving up on undermining him because the nose is tightening. I do think individuals with direct connections to Emirates will be caught up. Every step that they have taken so far is backfiring. It is almost like the Iranians and Turks might as well sit back and let these Arabs screwed up. From Qatar, Yemen to Sudan have failed. The Horn is the last place to counter the Turkish and Iranian influence. Gwadar Port also is becoming an issue for them.

Below is a direct translation of Abadula’s speech: “Out of the members of parliament we have, eight are not available in their duty due to death and other reasons. The total number of members of parliament we have is therefore 539. Of these 539, according to the proclamation, two-third of it will be 339. The vote we have got in support of is 346; against is 88; and 7 have abstained.” Several media outlets have went on a frenzy of editing the original stories; they not only corrected the 346 by 395, but also added in the corrected version of their stories the number of attendees as 490. But this is problematic in two ways. One: It flies in the face of the figures announced by the speaker at the end of the vote: 346 for + 88 against + 7 abstain = 441. Two: It opened debate on the counter constitutional working bylaws of the parliament which says, according to evening bulletin of the state media ebc, two third of the parliamentarians in attendance, not the total number of parliamentarians. In this case, where did the number 490, which is quoted by local and international media, come from? Some have argued the speaker has mentioned the 490 attendees in his introduction remarks. If so, the media in attendance, the parliament itself and those who argued as such have the responsibility to present the evidence. Addis Standard was not invited to the event, as usual, but got this video submitted to it by a source who attended the session.

We wait for Observer's explanation

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Footage of an Ethiopian parliamentary session posted online on Saturday appeared to contradict official reports of the number of votes cast to validate the state of emergency, though government officials dismissed the discrepancy as a mistake.

^I am in agreement there! Mr. Observer blames everyone else for the current as if the Tigray are simply benevolent observers.

Stop digressing! We are not talking about GERD. As protests have broken out just as they passed the state of emergency. And if they allowed to exercise the Article 39, many regions would have been independent by now.

Their vote and ongoing public protesters shows EPRDF is shaky ground. It must either use violence [Sisi style] or submit to Oromo demands.

Many Oromo MPs defiantly vote no.
