Grxjs have produced a great many important Somalis, but it seems they are politically naive and easily outwitted by the sharks from the west.

As you remember the TPLF was declared a terrorist organization. The Pretoria agreement allowed to be a political party again. The Ethiopian election body and by extension Abiy wants TPLF to submit an application as a new party. The older TPLF generation wants the TPLF reinstated as it was and not be labelled a new. In essence, they want the privileges they had in the past which came with certain economic advantages. And this is what caused the split, at least according to Addis Ababa. But among the Tigrians themselves, the split is really about the way forward. The war has been punishing. Getachew Reda wing of the TPLF want to make nice with Abiy and see how they can shape the future. The Debretsion Gebremichael wing do not envision any future with Ethiopia. Militarily, Debretsion Gebremichael wing is more powerful. They have supposedly some relationship with archenemy Isaias Afewerki, But Getachew Reda has the support of Abiy and ENDF forces in Tigray. More broadly, the Habeshas [Tigray, Amhara and Eritreans] are revaluating the political reality in Ethiopia and the Horn. Some are coming to the conclusion Abiy and his Oromo are bigger threat for them and Ethiopia. And the American on the other hand are trying to stop any conflict in Northern Ethiopia and have been very skeptical Abiy's leadership and weary of impulsiveness.

See you are back to booto. No one wants war, that said every Somali clan has the right to manage their territory including any part of any shared city. In case point, Gaalkacyo. In any case, this is Biixi's doing. It's no coincidence this started after his visit

Apparently, a kid was called by SL police. This was followed skirmish outside the city where several people died.

If Pland and Sland can build enough forces to secure peace so can Xamar granted Xamar is a unique case. It seemed to me federal leadership to rob the country or staying in power, everything else is secondary. And there's no sense of shame anymore. Egyptians would only add to the complication.

TPLF announces it doesn’t accept any zone, woreda, or kebele appointment made by interim government of Tigray. https://x.com/Amhara_News/status/1827899664357613716

1/2 To ensure legal entry /exit through Somalia's sea, airspace and land borders, it is mandatory to follow the proper procedures in accordance with the country's rules & regulations. In line with this ,Somalia will be introducing new directives that will regulate the maritime sector. 2/2 All international shipping lines will be required to adhere to and comply with these directives. https://x.com/warfak1/status/1827806578353029420

That's easier said than done as many people from the North used the Somali passport.

Breaking news: The Somali government has issued a warning stating that any airlines accepting Somaliland passports will be banned from the country. Sources close to the Somali Civil Aviation Authority have confirmed that the SCAA has sent a clear message to foreign airlines. The message declares that ordinary passports with the "P" prefix, or any passport or travel document not issued by the Somali Government and lacking the national emblem of Somalia, are considered invalid and forged documents and will not be allowed for travel. The Immigration and Citizenship Agency of the Federal Republic of Somalia is the only entity with the jurisdiction to issue passports or any other travel documents and provide related services. No other entity, organization, or agency is authorized to claim to provide these services. https://x.com/SuleimanHashi/status/1827722358712398201?t=Wq0s8fP5XXj95HplbrKMTA&s=19

Xaaji, You do realize all the Somali businesses are co-owned or do extensive business with other Somali businesses. And most Somali politicians are financed by business people or have their stolen money laundered by the same businesses.

A large delegation from Awdal State Movement which represents all Somali tribes of that strategic region has arrived in Las Anod, the SSC capital. Translation: “We have come here to celebrate with our SSC brothers for the August 25th 1st anniversary which was the day SSC forces defeated the enemy last year. We will also try to learn from the gov’t of how to manage newly formed adminand to establish peace like here, because we want to replicate what they have in our region of Awdal ASAP.” https://x.com/north_somalia/status/1827388976912539935

"Bravo Wasiir. Alx, it’s about time to respect our country as such. Those who have a different agenda or other preferable names, then go ahead and make your own country, otherwise respect this nation called Somalia and its citizens until they come to that same conclusion as your wishes."

Xaaji, De jure power is a potent tool, one not exercised by the Somali Government against secessionist entities. No persons or organizations can oppose it on flimsy personal relationships.

What are officials from Hirshabelle doing in Yaaqbariweyne other than to cause fitna.

One rule on put-downs, make sure you don't share similar names with your opposition. You would think they would figure out considering their name is literally Somali-Land. By the way, the Habesha even called Somali region (Somaligalbeed) Somalia.

Xaaji, Ethiopian Airlines is mandated to follow the issuances of any legal government. While Villa Somalia has no physical control over Hargeisa, it can legally compel any foreign organization to obey its laws. That's reality for all Somalis to accept, Hargeisa has no legal mandate and Mogadishu has no actual physical control. MMA, Never understood the logic of hardcore secessionists using the word Zoomaalia. It shows their illogical behavior or amazing stupidity.

GJecel is my reer Ayeeyo. It is unfortunate their good name is being abused. I am more saddened they are abusing the good name of a great Somali hero Sheikh Hassan Barsane. But it is important SW takes over complete control over its territories. Somalia would have been a different place if there were strong regional governments when Barre Admin was overthrown. We can't leave everything to Mogadishu.

Is this MP.or warlord? It's worth noting Jeesow is selected from Hirshabelle.

Kudos to SW Gov for clearing more Isbaaro.

HSM is not really shrewd. He eroded his support among his kin, and they will be first to push him out. Somali society is tribal, but Southern politics loyalty is not always along the clan. HSM simply pissed too many people, too many regions, and too many clans. He has no support in Jland, SW, and his attempt to undermine Qoorqoor is failing, specially considering the weapon smuggling debacle. His support is dwindling down to his Waceysle sub-clan. Reer Hiiraan won a hard fight against AS, but HSM has been undermining them as well. And HSM's biggest handicap is his unrelenting appetite for money. He understands he's old man so he is grabbing as much resources as he can for his kids. The overwhelming Somali politicians are corrupt from Djibouti, Jigjiga, Hargeisa, Garowe all the way to Garissa and Mandera, even among these thieves, HSM is in class of his own. We can count one thing, he will try to extend his tenure. He falsely hopes he might able to use foreign forces to subdue other regions. As for SSC and Maakhir. Somali reality is determined by strength, SSC is well armed, control more lands than HSM himself and are united. They enjoy the support of D-clan. They have made a point of not infringing on other clan's territories, something all Somali clan understand. Maakhir has always enjoyed relative peace. They see no reason to disrupt that peace
