Few and far between!

The woman is insane! Should be reported to the authorities.

I hope he's remembered for establishing peace in the region. A war must have a purpose. Most Somali wars don't.

He sounds like a soldier who favors peace, something all true soldiers aspire to.

SSC leader Firdhiye appointed him to take over the overall command. The man seems measured, un-boastful (in a military aspect), and calculating. He gave reer SSC a piece of good advice. I hope they take it and also seek peace with their cousins on either side of the border.

Tallaabo, how do you reimagine Somaliland without HT-clans? And what if Awdal wants to separate?

So much for we were retreating and got ambushed, or got sabotaged, they were run over. They were thoroughly defeated and SSC reached Oog.

Indecisiveness kills and hinders! The fate of Sool was sealed when Garaad Jama Garaad Ismail invited all Garaads. Gacan Libaax needs such leadership. Honestly, Cirro is not the leader Somaliland needs now. What do you make of yesterday's statement from Burco community?

Was that the kid with the perfect Qaldaan accent? I wondered if he knew May-May?

Where were they going?

Gartay, laakiin Muse ciduu wax ka maqlo majiraan? Maxaadse ka qabtaa hadalka muuqaalka hoose? In particular, their statement about Gacan Libaax and GXJS.

Wow

I can't understand why this conflict keeps re-igniting. I always thought it was the normal Somali clan conflict over grazing land, deegaan, or aano? Is there a bigger issue at play? It should have been put to bed by now.

No one prayer's prayers and thoughts are ever answered if there is ill intention which I don't. I wrote "as it was imagined" for a reason. Those who support secession forcefully emphasize there is no Somaliland without the Harti territories. And clearly, people in these lands don't want to secede. The arrogant and foolish have been saying dadbaa guura dhul ma guuro, but the reasonable people understand Somaliland could have truly achieved through genuine negotiation. A confederation with Djibouti won't work legally and politically. The only true solution for Somalis is to stand and talk. And I appreciate the craziness in Xamar.

Yes, he figured Wrsangeli wouldn't shoot him right away. This is not confirmed yet. He is worse than Bootaan.

Any man can rise to all unexpected occasions. Let's hope Zaylici does. Riyaale would have been better suited. Cirro is useless as a politician and as an opposition leader. And I was surprised Jirde was on that stage too.

Galbeedi, This picture says a lot. No Faratoon or Koore, two slavishly loyal men. Hargeisa has given up on reer SSC and they know the likes of Faratoon and Koore are useless. Even Mahad is no longer useful. According to reports, he gave up himself to Xingalool residents hoping to get better treatment.

There's already no Somaliland as it was imagined. If the political objective of Somaliland was a unified and independent North, that ship sailed with the fall of Las Anod and the Pland election in Eastern Sanaag. If the appointment of Zaycili would bring some respite, great! Any stability is welcomed especially in order to avoid Habro civil war which would be catastrophic for the whole region! But I do believe Somaliland as a political and administrative unit is over, The time is now for Awdal to act. Despite Muse' call for another round of violence, I can assure you each Habro is beginning to think of its own future beyond Somaliland (as we understand it today), Reer Awdal was forced in 91 into an arrangement the majority didn't support. They now have a chance to do things on their own terms whether that be independent federal region or within Somaliland. P.s. There was already a coup of sorts. Muse extended his term and he wants to dissolve the only parties that could have challenged Kulmiye.
