Gulf States are buying ports in the Horn from Assab to Kismayo. It's strategic decision. Let's hope this benefits Somalis in a small way. It's safe to say a lot of our resources won't be in our hands.

Tallaabo. We can divide Somalia into million pieces but the fundamental problems that destroyed the Somali State will always be there. Ignorance, lack of leadership, tribalism, nepotism, corruption and most importantly poverty will persist. Secession has not brought prosperity to Somaliland. It is as corrupt, tribalistic, ignorant and poor as any other Somali territory. Further fragmentation is not an answer. We will just miniaturizing problems. Nothing will change as long as people worship idols (clans) and leaders look for legitimacy elsewhere. There needs paradigm shift. As for Gebre, he is powerful and not powerful at the same. His position is determined by the behavior of the Somali public and the sleazy leaders that they so blindly follow to the gates of hell.

It's Xamar Bile, not cadeey.

I can't understand Somali people's obsession with kursi. What can madaxweyne or raysal wasaare do for his tribe? What people need are institutions with good governance.

^They should expel from reerka for calling Hargeisa neighborhood ghettos.

Buraan

Greece needs to go back to the drachma. The repayment as it stands is unrealistic; IMF has admitted as much. Any loan restructuring would have to include shaving off the some of loans or extending maturity date into decades and at lower interest rate. Anything else is just avoiding the inevitable. Galbeedi, some African countries are not endowed with many natural resources or have squandered the little they have.

Th European project is hard to sustain. It was meant to reign in Germany but it is Germany that's controlling things. From monetary perspective, it is hard to formulate a sound financial policy without political integration, in other words the United States of Europe is needed. What you have now disparate countries that are unwilling to give up their sovereignty and a for good reason, no country wants to surrender power and the two world wars left a bitter taste in some countries'. People don't forget the past. Just ask the Serbs or Greeks who compare Merkel to Hitler, a cheap considering it is German tax payers that bailing out Tax dodging Greeks. On another note, I wonder how African countries would pay back Chinese loans, something else that's brewing below the surface.

We are anomaly. It doesn't matter if Somalia is stable or not. But I doubt Hassan Sheikh is coming back. Clan dynamics and outside actors might do him in. P.s. He thought he could pull Galmudug in Hiiraan, but Ugaas in the region is nonsense guy.

It seems Abdiwali held out to win development projects for Pland, good ploy if he knew he eventually had to relent. In any case, Xasan's Government had fours to build a military, setup viable institution and complete the constitution. They haven't even attempted to do any of that. It shows lack of sincerity and complete indifference to our people's suffering. I can understand if they tried and failed, but they haven't even tried.

@Haatu said: peaking against the rulers is the root of all evil. Sabar baa la qaatey.. Huh? Hehe.

Somalis make pennies. Our concept of wealth is siphoning few millions.

It's past your bedtime.

Past agreement: https://horseedmedia.net/2016/04/02/raadka-uu-reebay-fashilaada-heshiisyadii-hore-iyo-khilaafka-weli-ku-dhex-jira-puntland-dowlada-federaalka/

Agreement between Pland and SFD http://puntlandi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Puntland-FGS-Agreement1.pdf

Hehe, that's happens when you don't trust or willing to sit down with your brother. This agreement is worthless anyway, no different from the ones in the past. https://horseedmedia.net/2016/04/02/raadka-uu-reebay-fashilaada-heshiisyadii-hore-iyo-khilaafka-weli-ku-dhex-jira-puntland-dowlada-federaalka/

For sure, HSM has achieved much, so is it still mortars being at the Villa http://rajonews.net/2016/04/dhagayso-maxaad-ogayn-oo-ka-soo-kordhay-hoobiyayaashii-lagu-weeraray-madaxtooyadda-somalia/ Another 4 yrs, what are you smoking?

Huge leap to where? Oblivion?

Who's building it?

Tallaabo, You wouldn't have extensive intermarriages with other Somali tribes as you share no borders. It is only logical and inevitable for one to marry their neighbors. And I thought Faysal said a boy in Addis, not Jig.

What come of the Turkish military base?

With the extension of the runaway and new terminal with a cargo area, I get the feeling Bosaso airport will be double as military base. p.s I am hoping CCECC is one to finish the job? They did such a wonderful job with least resource and no corruption.

This project has been more hush, hush. Is it true the money for Bosaso Airport phase II project been secured?
