I was walking on Jidka Maka Almakurama in the late afternoon today when I came across Xasan Socdaal's motorcade. 'Xasan Socdaal, caga dhigo!' ayaa ku qeyliyey. Waa hadduu i maqlaayo. Cajalka inta ka fiirso.

No wonder Siyaad Barre's second villa after Filla Soomaaliya was located on this circled spot, facing Gerbooda waterfalls. Very greenery. Markee Xamar kululaato ayuu inta imaan jiray la yiri since Baydhabo is relatively cooler than Muqdisho. Geedo aad u dhaadheer - sida baxarasaafka iyo qumbaha - waa weyn ku yaalo. I wish I took photos instead of videos; these images are the screenshots of a video.

Waa runtaada, waa caro gaduudan. What I also realized is that Xamar wey ka geedo badantahay, old geedo talaal iyo kuwa kale Talyaaniga beeray ayaa ku yaalo wali laamiga hareerihiisa. Xamar kuwii ku yaalay kuwa badan ah waaala gooye si sar loogu dhiso, kuwa xabad iyo madfac dishay ama daad qaaday waaye. Dhir aad badan fresh ahna waaku arkaaye suuqa Baydhabo. Its dhul also has a lot of limestone, too. It is cheap, hence many roads have interlocked limestone cobblestones. Screenshot of cobblestone road.

Sharwade Imaaraadka won't be happy, of course. Xasan ka sii fogaanayaan.

Madax Soomaaliyeed kale ma aamini doonaan, thanks to Xasan Socdaal and siyaasadxumadiisa.

Xasan Socdaal qof fiyoow ma'aha. Ilaa iyo hadda waxa uu Xabashada ka doonay la yaabantahay ka ahayn diyaarad jaceyl.

Waa qufulantahay ee Xamar imoow, indhahaaga ku arag horumarkeeda oo Soomaaliweyn wada joogto.

Muuqaalo 15 daqiiqo ah ka duubay, laakiin sawirro yar aniga ka muuqdo waaka qaaday. Google sawiradaan ka keenay. These photos were taken a couple years ago, so the plants and dhirta are much more thicker, taller and lushy now.

There is Kacaan-era road ganacsatada isticmaalaan iyo dadka aan awoodin diyaaradaha.

Waa reer daacad ka ah Soomaalinimada, tan iyo Sayidkii saan ahaayeen. Guul iyo maamul goboleed ismaamulo isku filan u rajeynaa.

On his way to Masar.

Isla maantana Ugaandha ayuu tagay:

Mar kale iyo Itoobiya.

Dhagaxtuur, Xamar iskeen lagaama xigee. Reer Tuulo ha siin magaaladaan. Kaama xigaan. Taalada iskugu magacdartayna waa booqday bil ka hor.

Baydhabo shalay ayaa ka soo noqday after six days. I also spent six days in Baydhabo on last month. First time since January, 1991, after Xamar ka qaxnay. Horumarkeeda iyo horumarka socdo caadi ma'aha. Great roads, huge new buildings, businesses and homes. New airport terminal is under construction as well. The main avenue that goes to Xamar, its construction will start next month as I was told. That will be a game changer since this road is the heart of the city. It also has the largest garden park in Soomaaliya, Beerta Baydhabo (Baydhabo City Park). It took me more than half an hour to explore it around. I was told the guy who built it spent a couple million dollars to invest. It was worth it.

We were walking around at Lambar Afar roundabout in Xamar last night around sadex saac (9pm) when we came across Reer SSC dabaaldeg ku jiro. Fardo xataa wey wateen. I didn't stick around to ask what the occasion was. However it was good to see Muqdisho still being xudunta iyo xarunta ummadda Soomaaliyeed.

Galmudug wey ka beero badantahay nooh.

Xasan has Hindi dhaqan, jiljileec iyo madax foorarsi. Sanadihii yaraa meeshaas ku noolaa ku sii bartay. Shisheeye walba madax ah uu la kulmo madaxa ayuu hoos u dhigaa. Iskamaba dhaafi karo, sida dhoolacadeynta iyo hadalka badan u joojin karin.

Don't reason labawajiile bilaa xishood ah. I am glad the dude utterly exposed munaafuqnimadiisa as a raging, closeted secessionist hypocrite. Xataa Reer Khaatumo uma ogola danahooda iyo aayahooda ka tashtaan oo ismaamulaan.

Isku camira sidii dhoocilaha la idinku yaqaanay. I will never change my mowqif of a strong Soomaali state under one jurisdiction that controls immigration, marine, borders, currency and foreign affairs. I will never be a hypocrite labawajiike dhaafay sidiina camal. Reer Waqooyiga goonigoosadkooda wax ka sheega and act and do exactly what they do. Banaanka iskeenaa, waxba ha gambinina. Be true wretched secessionists. Sheeko kale ha noola imaanina otherswise.

Yaa dego deegaankaan colaada ka socoto? Muuse Muqayil tolkiisa?
