Suldaanka do you honestly believe Iley and Liyu Police act on their own? Nothing is done without the permission of TPLF Generals. Gen. Abraha Woldemariam ran the Somali Region like his personal fiefdom. Iley is a merely puppet, a brutal one and gift to TLPF and its army. Gen Masho, Abraha's replacement, is no different. No paramilitary force in the Somali and Oromo Regions will act on their own. The TPLF will encourage and tolerate these activities as long as it distracts the restlessness young Oromos. The TPLF understands the Somali psyche. If a Liyu force kills civilians in Galgaduud, the leader of the force will mostly like be someone from D-block. If they kill anyone in Gedo, the leader will likely be from H or Dir Blocks. Somalis don't look beyond the obvious and TPLF counts on that simple fact. Liyu's most victims are OGs. Salaax, I understand you are going with this, dead Somali is a dead Somali. How Somalis from different regions view such acts is at this point irrelevant,

I would hope you stop using the term Somalilander for Ethiopians or their Abyssinian precursor see all Somalis one and the same. Somalis are confused a lot who can't see the big picture. Political differences no matter how deep or painful should not blind us from seeing the larger threat facing all Somalis. We have no brothers and no friends. The sooner we understand that the better it will be for the Somali nation, a big force to be reckon with should they decide to stop the current insanity. AUN intii dhimatay,

Oodweyne, I don't think I ever asked you this, what's your vision of the future Somalia? I assume you would want to see stable Somalia one day. Let's not focus on today's leadership or soomaalinimo, just what you hope the future Somalia to look like?

The cruel and immoral action aside, Farmajo is not even good politician. A lot times politics is about optics. He and Somalia gained no political capital.

This is more like one night side.

I hope everything goes well, and no machetes come out.

I think everybody heard of it. It's tragic!!!

It's sad reer Soomaaligalbeed or any Soomaali is literally not safe in any Somali land.

Majority of Somalis were/are facing difficult times, mass starvation, mass massacre, relentless droughts, terrorism, piracy and no central state. We can't use history to negate the current realities.. Almost thirty years on with benefits of peace and political stability, how could such poverty be stone throw away from the center of power? And who should be held accountable for the lack of economic and social progress?

I know they have been on Iley payroll for a long time.

The secessionists need to make their mind, I thought the union was already dissolved. Let's hope she's actually calm enough to talk.

God bless Ali Khalif!!! And for those who want to provoke war...it has been close to 30 since this Sland thing, perhaps money would better spent on those who really need them.

https://messengerafrica.com/2017/07/12/controversy-over-proposed-ethiopian-law-aiming-to-change-capitals-status/ Would this help in calming Oromo or accelerate their demands for self-determination? And how would the Amara react?

Blockade was ill-conceived and badly implemented. And with Trump busy with Russian inquiry, Salman Jr bit more than he could chew. I am glad Farmajo chose to not be linked to amateur show.

Xiddig, the Ethiopian stooge?

Funny guy but also honest.

Puntland has the unfortunate reality being bordered by secessionists who at the very least give pass to terrorists and anarchists who don't seem understand peaceful coexistence means.

The preschooler seems to make old men foam.

Iran has no ambition of invading Saudi Arabia let alone capturing Mecca and Medina. It is a scare tactic used by illegitimate House of Al-Saud aided by their new Zionist friends. Iran does not have the desire or means to wage such huge war. They know the limits of their power and carry their lessons learned from Iraq-Iran war. If anything is a threat to the Muslim world, it is petro-dollars of Al-Saudi and the insane fanatical ideology of Ala-Sheikh clan. Their centuries old alliance is about power and control of the Sunni world. And if anybody has deep-seated religious, it is the Salafis who labelled Shi'ite Muslims as heretics.

Say what you may about Iran but it is a country with stated goals and reasonable foreign policy, It does not act on whims of self-indulgent despotic monarchs. It has a strategic goals and they are tactically better than Arab despots. On contrary to what many believe, Iran would actually like a stable Middle East where there is open movement of people and goods. It is willing to sit down if Arabs accept Iran is regional power and it is here to stay. Everything that Arabs have done or supported have came to fail, it is time for new approach and such approach would have to include Iran,

Ciid Mubarak to all.

Gooni, the violence and aggression is one-sided. I don't think reer Galmudug understand coexistence and compromise. They conflate Puntland's willingness to make peace with weakness. And unfortunately, there are no political or traditional institutions that can implement things that do agree to.

Puntland Galmudug Agreement I am surprised they agree on this let alone anything else. I give this few days. Hopefully, I will be proven wrong. In si nabad ah loo wada daaqo Naqa,ayadoo loo fududeynayo dadka reer Galmudug ee abaarsan in ay soo galaan dhulka Naqu ka da’ay ee Puntland, si taas loo hirgaliyana waxaa laysla gartay. http://hobyonet.com/2017/06/20/dhagayso-dhamaan-qudbadihii-laga-jeediyay-hashiiska-gaalkacyo-ku-dhex-maray-puntland-iyo-galmdug/
