Who are the early favourites to become next Ethiopia PM? •Debretsion Gebremichael, elected as leader of the powerful TPLF back in Dec.; he is said to be a “hardliner”. •Abadula Gemeda, Speaker of Parliament who resigned last after being “disrespected” but was reappointed again.

The Oromo era is about to start or Woyane is replacing with one of their own.

Galbeedi, One theory is power shifting one way and therefore, Woyanes are looking for allies. Somalis have been known to misread key moments in history. Hopefully, this is not one of them.

Ethiopia frees Muslim leaders

The third day #OromiaStrikes has been suspended in reaction to release of Bekele Gerba and his comrades. The third day will be dedicated to welcoming heroes and cleaning street.

Including include Somali Amb to the EU Dr Ali Said Faqi and Commissioner of Refugees and IDPs Ahmed-Dahir Abdikarim Nur to see Somalis in Libyan detention centers.

They have sat down in the past and this has ibeen n the works. ONLF is financially and militarily depleted. The question is what sort of deal are they getting and will it be honored, Woyanes don't honor anything but Woyanes have officially made way too many enemies in Itoobiya and they play nice with Somalis now.

Those who are working the hardest to destroy Soomaalinimo do the best to discredit it. It is unfortunate some are easily persuaded.

Faysal is useless as politician. I think he was a snitch for NSS and is a snitch for Kulmiye now. A worthy candidate should take over UCID.

I didn't say Ciidagale did as group, but this particular individual clearly did. And you seem to show many of symptoms he suffered chief among them obsession with Puntland and larger D-block family, insults thrown at people passed as intellectual discourse, serious victim mentality and for some reason contempt for H-Block, one would think that he will be grateful to them considering they actually chased Barre out of Mogadishu.

I don't represent or speak for Puntland. And I don't seek self realization through Tolka. That's you! But you are welcome to continue bashing Puntland. It seems to provide some sort of therapeutic outlet. And God knows you could use it now more than ever. You remind me of Ciidagale guy, he used to huff and puff, beating his chest when he is with Somalis but among his ilk, he was very meek. Apparently, there was some sort of unspoken hierarchy we didn't know about. Your frustration with tolka seems to be the driving force behind your sudden, more than usual, irate behavior.

I like the guy, very since and competent.

Calm down old boy. Since you were b!tch-slapped by your kin, you seem to have lost all sense of self control (you had little to begin with).

I guess we know what's waiting for her when she returns.

Well, he definitely caught your attention

^He sounds like Sheikh Shible, another idiot who felt it is okay to insult Bantus, Somalis nonetheless.

Dahireeto, Omar humiliated the Italians. The Italians were forced to bring battalions from Eritrea. His forces killed Lieutenant-Colonel Splendorelli. Sucks there was no poem memorializing the event.

Galbeedi, You know the funny thing reer Bari had to eventually fight the Italian fascists alone. All coastal towns in Bari were decimated by Italian warships. Don't stab your brother in the back in the first place. To his credit though, Kenadid refused the Italians to allow British forces to land in Hobyo so the Brits can chase Ina Abdulle Hassan. This is when the relationship with Italians started souring.

Why should the land dispute stop services? Are they trying to push out original residents? The weird thing is Somali territories are practically empty.

Ducale, What do you think he was fighting for exactly?

Maakhir, One has to reclaim their history and not through prism of regionalism and tribalism, Many Sultanates and leaders kept away the Oromo invaders, Portuguese and Omanis, from Ajuraan, Sheikh Hassan Barsane to Nasiib Buundo. It is amazing how little Somalis kids know and petty minded adults are. I find the Ajuran Empire extremely interesting, highly-advanced, well-functioning, medieval Somali state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajuran_Sultanate
