The old man was almost floored, someone grabbed his shirt...sad really. https://youtu.be/3wL1VW-ucbs

Baashi was agitating, not that's an excuse for Cirro's behavior.

Without an independent entity, preferably a central bank, that sets monetary policies, it will be futile to flood the markets with illegal notes.

Thanks for the info sxb. I am looking forward to what Turks do with Garowe Airport project.

Is 4km the standard? How big is the airport to the rest of the Somali airports and can it handle big cargo planes?

https://youtu.be/qAV-ugr4W-o This was hilarious hehe

Nuune. Are they going to build a new terminal? I understand they will extend the runway?

Nuune. Have you seen Bosaso airport? My hope is these infrastructure projects materialize. It seems the Chinese are working hard and Somalis workers are following their lead. I hate to see sub-standard projects. The people could use a win.

Yes, this man is everywhere but we need to remind ourselves he is there with our blessing (of course not the Somali public 's consent but their so called leaders' acquiescence). This situation will only be solved when we decide to hold the so called leaders accountable. We defend them yet we complain about their doings. Let's not overestimate Ethiopia's power. It is a poor country with ethnic-based, oppressive regime that control the entire economy and stifled all political activities. The TPLF runs the place with entire fist. Ethiopians were defeated in Xamar and they can be defeated elsewhere. We have the tendency to point out the obvious yet decide not to do anything. Let's not project our failures onto the people that are benefiting from our stupidity. P.s. Here's one example of our stupidity, people like Xaad and Diiriye used to be against Ethiopia, now they call them our good neighbors. President Xasan showered the Late Zenawi with praises, called him his brother, the same Zenawi whose troops by Gabre carpet bombed Xamar. Where's the outrage? What gives? Instead of documenting the crimes committed in Xamar and holding the Ethiopians accountable, our people chose to forget everything. We rather focus on motions, firings and reshuffling by so called Parliament and Government "run" by men who sold their people and land. Why would anyone hire Cumar Baruur and appoint Abdishakur as UN envoy, two men who committed treason. Again where is the outrage by us? Let's not forget what AMISOM did and what Ethiopians are doing in Hiran, Bay, Bakool, Gedo and Galgadud. It's cliche but we got the leaders we deserve.

The first one is not realistic, the second is doable and the third one would require a lot of hard-work.

There hasn't been any wars between major clans since early 90s. Every subsequent major war since early 90s were between sub-clans within the same larger clan. Apart from Juba, borders were quickly established following the fall of the Barre regime. That started with Mudug agreement where Aidid and Yusuf decided to spare their people. Since every major war including the Beledweyne conflict carried out by Ato, Kismayo conflict between Jees, Morgan and Hiirale, Xamar between Cali Mahdi and AIdid and Puntland civil war, were mostly fought by sub-clans within a large clan. You can segregate Somalis and divide the country into million villages, these things will still persist.

More tragedy

I am well. Most of the land disputes and conflicts in today's Somalia is between people within the same tribe. Your assumption that segregation will solve the problem is flawed. What do you suggest, each sub-sub-sub-sub clan should go to their village?

Gooni...The West says all the stuff you listed simply because that's part of their culture. Their children and our children are exposed to the same things and face the same problems granted they have more resources by virtue being natives. Only good parenting and involved community can counter the ill behaviors. Many Somali parents or Somalis in general blame the West instead of looking at their short comings.

Somali 'politicians' are in general shameless but the ones in Xamar are rotten to the core. The man had the time and mandate to help his people in the smallest possible, nothing big. Instead he and his cohorts are grabbing what they can while AMISOM massacres families in Marka and Halgan. Petty politics and thievery will be his legacy. And the so called parliament....dang it. And what useless speaker!!!! And there is the incompetent over-fed PM.

Blue..Try this Gorfaynta Silsiladdii Deelley by Ibrahin Yusuf Ahmed. It is on Amazon for reasonable price. Thanks for Xaaji Nuune, that's greet resource. There is a little on the way and we want her to be fluent in Somali.

One would think the old man will spend his golden years in a comfortable villa surrounded by family and friends since he already took a bite at the apple once. Somaliland needs a younger (not the short dude), vibrant leadership, not one beholden to tribal leaders and crooked businessmen.

The Oromo are politically docile even great numbers,at least for now, but you cannot blame for seeking better lives and for Somalis not working at all. Why work when someone in the Qurbaha is sending money. I really don't think they have a plan, but maybe the Woyanes, who are grabbing everything before the shit hits the roof or Amharas who dream of bygone empire, do. I don't see any Somali entity doing anything. It is more important to fight over kursi.

Teach them Somali and marry few of their girls, you are to good then.
