galbeedi Posted December 8, 2018 This man has been in power only for few months , yet he is already preparing to ride the false war on terror that never ends. Last week an American ambassador in Addis visited Jigjiga and was taken to tour Jeel Ogadeen, a huge jail where Cabdi Illey and his Tigray masters used to torture and imprison thousands of innocent people. While touring the jail, he told the American diplomat that those who jailed people here had escaped to Somaliland, Puntland and Jubbaland, and are organizing a campaign of bombing with the coordination of Al-Shabaab. A week after that statement, the Somali regional media showed off of captured bombs and weapons within Jigjiga city. Is that just a coincidence, a real threat from the Illey camp, or a calculated move to extort money from the Americans. The Americans can help his administration in development and other issues without invoking Al-Shabaab or others. Is the so called war on terror the only way to cash from the Americans?, or this guy is trying to militarize the zone again and oppress the poor people of the region?. Only time will tell. https://youtu.be/isBMFHM79d8?t=45 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted December 8, 2018 I think Somalis must prepare to transfer power to the legitimate movements like ONLF who have nationalist agenda. Recently, the leader of the ONLF said that he will never renounce self determination for the Somalis in the region. I think place holders like Mustafe Cagjar must hold fair elections and transfer the power to the people. He must understand that he is appointed not elected.

I think place holders like Mustafe Cagjar must hold fair elections and transfer the power to the people. He must understand that he is appointed not elected. He is trying to take advantage of the window that has opened in the region. He is overdoing it like most of them. He seems to forget that his first and always priority should be not to create problems and not interfere with his fellow Somalis in Djibouti, Somaliland, Puntland, Shebelies and others. He has gone too far into the deep with Abiy and others that now ONLF and others are in reapproachment with Djibouti and neighboring regions in Somalia. Its all in flux.

Old_Observer Posted December 14, 2018 The westerners saying "Throwing the baby with the ..water" is already showing signs in kililka. Ethiopian nationalists hated Iley for one very fundamental reason. He may have shown Ethiopian flag or made statements, but the region was moving autonomously. Administration, Media, Education.. Now all these institutions are under attack and changes. Ethiopian nationalists love the new man since he is showing in practice on the ground being Ethiopian, yet the position of the Somali in Ethiopia is lower than what it was last year.
