  1. A lot has happened in the world for the last week, especially in the horn of Africa and Helsinki, Finland.. In this segment we will try to filter and give it our own spin. Since the media has failed to report the whole news , and the Somali websites show only moving pictures with almost zero content and logical analysis, I Galbeedi will act as a pundit to interpret the new and analyse on my own view of the world. There are more than one superpowers. Since 1990, after the collapse of Soviet Union, America became the lone super power , and acted as the policeman of the world. During these period, America has done a lot of good deeds around the globe including saving of the innocent victims of war in Bosnia, Kosovo and other places. Yet, the undisputed supremacy of the U.S was eroded by concentrating its efforts to dominate, destroy and control the middle east. While America was waging wars in Iraq and other places since 1991, China had took a 25 year of nation building which made them manufacturing power of the world. They are already a quite superpower that will soon become the largest economy. Helsinki and the crowning of Putin as the other superpower. The media doesn't report the inside story in Helsinki, but insiders say that the whole affair was a negotiations between Putin and Netanyahu while Trump was representing the later. Behind the door talks were specifically about Syria, Golan heights, and Ukraine. Israel, with help of Wahabi insurgents , gulf money and weapons and American policy tried to dismantle and set up a pro Saudi entity in Syria. After seven years of war, Assad is winning the war, but Israel, by default had brought both HizbuAllah and the Iranian militia at their northern door. Just like the dismantling of Saddam strengthened Iran, the war in Syria has brought Iranian missiles at the Israeli door. Be careful of what you wish. Netanyahu knows that no American military will wage a war against Iran at the moment, yet now Iran and their proxies are at the gate. He also know that a ground war is unwinnable against Iran , so he has to go to Moscow and find solutions for the problems he himself has created. Putin is willing to help, but he needs to get something in exchange. Also, everyone knows that Putin will keep his promise unlike America. Netanyahu accepts the presence of Assad and his forces in Golan Heights and Southwestern Syria. Even the Jordan border area which American said were off limits for Assad was taken over by Syrian army after heavy bombing.. Iran rejects any move out of Syria since they were invited by Assad , yet the mischievous Persians are willing to trade for the bigger deal. On the other hand Putin wants Netanyahu to help him normalize relations with Trump and America. Putin want norman relations and lifting of the sanctions, plus a referendum in Eastern Ukraine, and might even add for the weakening of Nato or to stop anymore enlargement of Nato. Israel wants Iran to leave Syria completely, and Iran wants to preserve the nuclear deal in order to leave Syria.. Folks, these were the real discussions in Helsinki. On the other hand Trump is scared to admit the he got help from Russia during the election. There were no nuclear reduction or other issues. As usual it is all about the middle east . Trump is in big trouble , yet he is more popular with his base than before. The media is trying to vet and scrutinize Trump after the fact. Usually, candidates are vetted before the election not after the fact. There are two thoughts on Trump . One says that America is not a banana republic and at the end Trump will not only be impeached, but will be put behind bars with his careless disregard of American political order. The other school says that the same established that failed to stop Trump during the campaign want him to transform America in a new image that is radically different , and despite the noise , he might even re elected again. Brussels and fundraising for Amisom forces. It was another round of Somali leaders looking for unearned money from the world. None of the money raised will reach the Somali soldiers or strengthen the military capacity of the country. Somalia is still under arms sanctions while Amisom is armed to the teeth. As soon as the Belgium money hit the airwaves, Uganda had announced to send more soldiers to Somalia. It seems that Farmaajo is becoming the best thing that happen to the war profiteers, NGO's, Amisom soldiers and those who want the status quo. For 18 years since the Carta government in Djibouti, the Somali government could not pass Mogadishu. Both the regional government of Banadir and Farmaajo rule a Baghdad style green zones with blocked streets. Billions of dollars are consumed in the name of Somalia. Even the separatists who used to claim to be another imaginary country had decided to join the regional governments and get some of the pie. Close to 60 billion are spent in Somalia since 1991. In fact, despite the success of the Farmaajo government to built national institutions and repatriation of Somali air controllers and rescuing of Somalis from jails around the world, nothing tangible is taking place on the security issues. Insurgents are active both in the capital and surrounding area. No mistake about it, the parameter that Farmaajo will be judged would be security and security only. The problem is that town , Mogadishu is awash with money and war profiteers from around the world have descended to make money., Unless a new vision and strategy is introduced, expect the same fate as the last leader. Hargeisa has lost its marbles. Muuse Biixi is looking a settlement and way out of the Tukaraq quagmire, yet he doesn't know how to get out. He sent some elders and business people to Garoowe to negotiate on his behalf, and they were met by another elders and were told to leave the issues for the political leaders ( Waxay moodayeen sida Hargeisa in hawl walba ay Kaabo Qabiiladu Dhameeyaan). The latest news is that Muuse want to go back to the original place called Gambadhe, but the Garaad community in Puntland had insisted for the recovery of Laascaanood. Some in the international community are trying to find a way for C/weli Gaas to declare victory while Muuse relocates to his original place. While the Tukaraq issues is important, for the Jeegaan administration, the GX issue and Ceel Afweyn is the paramount issue at the moment. Deep down Muuse knows that the Jeegaan can't rule without the consent of the other groups. In order to find wayout, Muuse had contacted Ismaciil Hurre Buubaa, the Henry Kissinger of Somaliland who had participated many plots in his lifetime. Buuba was the architect of the enlargement of the Waddani party by creating elaborate titles like ' Gudoomiyaha Xisbiga, Hogaamiyaha Xisbiga and so forth. He kept the pressure to Muuse and arranged behind the scene the G.X Shir in Gacal Libaax. He openly told Muuse to either follow the tribal route of Cigaal and Siilaanyo to marginalize politically the largest community or to create a new strategy. As of now , we do not know what the new plan between Buuba and Biixi. After almost 30 years, Somaliland must sit and share the cash in the begging bowl with the rest of the regional states. Furthermore, in the future, the aid money must be given directly to the communities and civil societies to build water wells and other badly needed services. The fast moving of Abiy Ahmed train. Eritrea came out of isolation after 20 years . Everyone was surprised the love and affection this Abiy guy has shown to the leaders of Eritrea. Abiy welcomed the foreign minister of Eritrea by himself, and afforded him full state honours. He visited Eritrea, and invited Asias Afework to Addis, and the rest is history. Despite the normalization of the relations, the moves Abiy made with Eritrea are more political than most. His strategy is to box the restive Tigray province and the TPLF both politically and geographically. With Eritrea on board, the Tigray region can't entertain to separate or do any mischief against the new order. The secret service men of Asias, who was both the benefactor of the TPLF and its creator, had already descended to Addis and monitor the movements of their cousins and disguise themselves since they speak the same language. Military coup is out of the question since most of conscripts are Ahmara and Oromo while the officer corp is predominantly Tigray. Yet, everyone is waiting whether the TPLf will disappear for good or they might have one last card to derail the fast moving train. On the Somali Republic side, so far there is no tangible advantage from the change of the guard. Mr. Abiy had even moved cleverly to destabilize the Farmaajo government by not only releasing C/karim Qalbidhagax, but also showing affection and humanity. That move alone has tremendously discredited the Farmaajo government which had falsely claimed to outlaw the Somali freedom fighters of ONLF. Qalbidhagax had already wounded Farmaajo last year, but the nightmare continue. As the Ethiopian Birr loses value, the UAE came to the rescue and deposited a billion or more to stabilize.This close ties with the UAE might create more friction. On the other hand, it is also a well known fact by now that the Farmaajo government has close political connection with the outgoing TPLf order. Farmaajo, like his predecessor had believed that an alliance with TPLF might preserve his power and help defeat Al-shabaab. Anyway, so far no advantage for Somalia at the moment from the Abiy Ahmed train. Jijiga is waiting for freedom. Of course there are still clashes between the Oromo and Somalis in some pockets in border communities in Moyale, Tulli and Baabili. With full intervention of the federal army these clashed has subsided. This week the army commander in Tulli area gathered 20 elders from both sides and told them to stop oe else. Yet the Cabdi Illey propaganda continues. His employees in Jijiga had staged demonstrations to keep the status quo and called themselves, the resurgent radicals " Mitidka Dib U Curashada" . The same people who victimized and murdered Somalis for the last ten years are calling to continue the communal fight with Oromo. Despite the release of the prisoners in Jijiga there is no visible change in the Somali Galbeed. As usual we Somalis are waiting others to change our lives.
