Kiikuuyo propaganda

Poorly attempted propaganda by Kiikuuyo's media. War ciyaal mee na moodaan. Read on.

Kismayo roars back to business under KDF

In Kismayo town they hoot loudly, overlap, pick and drop passengers in the middle of the road causing nasty traffic snarl ups.

It is hard to imagine this sea port city was ravaged by war some years ago. Businesses have gradually picked up and public beaches are filling up again.Only an encounter with the peacekeeping troops reminds one that beneath the veneer of tranquility, the enemy still lurks.Kismayo has a new airport named Sayid Mohammed Abdule Hassan Airport after a Somali liberation hero. On the way to the old airport that was abandoned after the Al Shabaab were flushed out, the streets are bustling with commercial activities.

They are even Mpesa shops and in the afternoon, Khat vendors fill up the streets.Solar powered lamps light up the road to the seaport. New buildings are coming up and work is nonstop at a nearby quarry that produces building stones.Majority of the population are herders, but the seaport has opened new opportunities. The city now boasts of a few high-end hotels.

According to, Lieutenant Colonel, the commanding officer of 2nd Mechanised Infantry Battalion based in Kismayu, Meshack Kishoyian, the city fills up at night.“It’s also the month of Ramadhan and people will be breaking their fasts,” he says.

At the port of Kismayu, heavily loaded pickups and trucks roar in and out. Ahmed Haji Adan Kismayo, the port manager, credits Kenyan troops with restoring order.

“They sacrificed their lives for us,” says Aden. According to him, the port has seen brisk business since 2012. He fears for the city if the Kenya forces pull out. The Al Shabaab might be defeated he says, but they are not completely vanquished. But according to Lt Kishoyian, Kismayo is calm for now, and the Kenyan forces are ready to suppress any threats from the A Shabaab.

“We are vigilant,” he said.

And what business does Mpesa shops have in Kismaayo? Waa inay dowladda dhexe gacan bir ah ku qabataa or tax them out business since they are competing with Soomaali companies without being regulated. They think they can set up shop anywhere they want. Awalba Buuloxaawo iyo Ceelwaaq ayee ahayd meeshee joogeen. Maantana Kismaayo ayeeba joogaan.

Mpesa is the Kikuya way of dominating business?

Half the guys here defending Kenya, are confirmed Kenyan trolls. We should be careful how we address them.

[Holac]

I have not seen Apophis write in Somali. I know Haatu is a true Kenyan Somali. 

[maakhiri1]

Haatu is Sijui  rest are trolls

As this candidate said, bring the Burundi forces from Middle Shabeelle

Another Kiikuuyo overdrive drivel:

Intrigues of three Kenyans in race for Jubaland president

 • Holders of Kenyan passports Mohammed Shakul, Mohammed  Marsheye, and Abdi Raghe are among those battling for the top seat.

• The trio, observers argue, has been fronted to cut down incumbent and frontrunner Ahmed Madobe’s clout in the race.

The bid by three Kenyans in Jubaland presidential elections has elicited debate on how regional forces are angling for a stake in the August 24 vote.

The battle is shaping as that of interests by Somalia, Jubaland, Qatar, Ethiopia, and Kenya to make inroads in the territory.

Holders of Kenyan passports Mohammed Shakul, Mohammed  Marsheye, and Abdi Raghe are among those battling for the top seat.

The trio, observers argue, has been fronted to cut down incumbent and frontrunner Ahmed Madobe’s clout in the race.

But their candidatures have not been without opposition. 

Guleid Khalif, an expert of Jubaland politics wants the Kenyan government to intervene and have the candidates withdraw from the race.

“We want the government to investigate the three contestants because they are being used to work against Kenya’s interest in Jubaland,” Guleid said.

Kenya is said to be standing by Madobe, owing to his contribution – having abandoned the Islamic Courts Union – in the fight to capture Kismayu from al Shabaab.

Raghe is reportedly a close friend of former warlord Barre Hiraale and Abdinasir Seraar, and is said to be working with Mogadishu to subvert Kenya's interests. 

Jubaland remains a strategic partner in Kenya’s efforts to stop the terrorist group from carrying out attacks in the region.

Those privy to the development say the Somali government led by Mohamed Abdullahi, popularly known as Farmajo, is behind the candidature of the three Kenyans.

Khalif told journalists on Sunday that the three Kenyans are from Garissa county from where they run businesses.

He said the al Shabaab factor is the reason behind the strategic efforts to unseat Madobe who has served since 2013.

Kenya is rooting for a regional government while Somalia and its allies prefer a centralised system of governance.

Somalia's position has reportedly created animosity between Mogadishu and Nairobi.

“The Somalia Federal Government is creating clan divisions with their hardline stance while using dirty tactics to oust Madobe. They will fail flatly,” Abdu Shakur Ahmed, an elder from Buuale said of Farmajo. 

The Jubaland Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission has assured the electorate that the vote will be free and fair.

The commission, in a letter to Jim Swan – special representative of the UN Secretary-General, said it has taken steps to build confidence in the electoral process.

“We believe all the constitutional and legal requirements were fulfilled in the conduct of the process in line with the Constitution and the electoral laws in Jubaland,” JIBEC chairman Hamza Bare said in the yesterday’s letter.

This followed concerns by the UN after an attack in the country on July 12 left several dead and dozens injured.

Senior representatives from the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), and the UN want the parties to work with an agreed electoral process that is within the laws of the land.

During a recent meeting in Nairobi, Peter Kagwanja observed that the election is not about who rules Jubaland but the region’s stability.

Maxamed Shakuul, who the Kiikuuyo is accusing is sent by madaxweyne Farmaajo, was a candidate in the last (s)election as well four years ago. Farmaajo maba joogin meesha. He is also a Canadian citizen, maxee moodaan baasaboorkooda qashinka ah wax weyn tahay.

Axmed Madoobe must be removed. Dhulkii barwaaqada ahaa ee Jubbooyinka ayuu xulufeeye, nabaadguur ka dhigay. His Kiikuuyo masters get a substantial cut from the illegal dhuxusha trade, Barbaarta inkaarta qabtana get a cut too since geedaha laga soo jaray dhulkee heystaan, and the evil buyers are Imaaraadka-based companies to distribute to Khaliijka.

Look at those tragic images taken years ago:

[galbeedi]

The Kikuyu must be expelled. Ugandan, Ethiopian, Burundi and others never claimed any part of our territory. The Kenyans have plans to curve out our maritime boundaries, and you should never allow that kind of nation to keep troops in Somalia.

They do not even obey Amisom orders. Too bad some Somalis are willing to die for a warlord whose time has come to an end. 8 years is enough.

[Old_Observer]

Those who support Ethiopia now.

Why were you against in 2006, where by now Somalia could have been one and changed 2-3 governments already?

Have principles centered and based on the people.

You can remove Moodabe now using Ethiopians, but never is secret that you are sowing seeds for the next cycle.

When the Arab chairs go next round, your views and stance will also change.

Somalia is in a location where both is good and bad for the people. Its bad because is making victims of the people without sing this location. Its good because the Somali people have it as owners.

The solution should have been that both Faarmajo and Moodabe cut their ambitions a bit.

 

Unlike SWS where a simple Ethiopian battalion can change the game, this Jubaland will move to Kenya and Ethiopia and come back at later time. It also will be connected to Puntland and Gal Mudug in mysterious ways.

 

 

[galbeedi]

OO,

we were not against Ethiopia by  irrational antipathy or just plain hatred. They unleashed angry and evil tribes to destroy our nations in early eighties. Later they armed criminals, extremists and every Somali warlord who wanted to be a player in a devastated country.

 

They created a system of government that doesn't exist any where in the world but only Ethiopia. They created six presidents in a nation of 15 million people. If they change their behavior and cooperate with our government we will welcome them  as a neighborly brothers as anyone.

The current government is not pitting one Somali against the other. They are not dealing the regional governments as client states under their influence. So, if we have to build a pipeline across the region , it has to be both beneficial for us and them. This has nothing to do with Djibouti or anyone else. First , you have to find someone to finance it , then it has to be economically feasible. Furthermore, why would Somali livestock has to travel from Mustaxiil, Godey and Feer Feer to Djibouti?, that is illogic.

As mentioned by Apophis Kenya has beggar economy than Ethiopia with half of the population. , it also has more stable and grounded system of government than Ethioipia, iyt has a British system. . We are willing to make business with the Kenyan people who are more educated and better organized than the 100 million hungry Ethiopians, but they have to change their policy toward the region and Jubaa in particular. The era of keeping a proxy " Maamul" within Somalia is over. We will be even kneecappings  the separatists and their brethren in the north east if things go our ways.

I think the Kenyans are getting bad advice from certain quarters that want to lead clashes with Somalia. We might be weak at the moment, but we do not mind to gain an enemy that will unite us. We,  the Somali nomad always need and love to have an enemy to hate, and the Kikuyu could fit the bill.  As you had seen in the news, the Somali army is on the move , and they are getting better everyday.

Yes, thanks to the Turkish a lot of progress has been done with the Army. The two problems are that as the Turkish got very busy with Syria, Iraq, America and EU, the Farmaajo government did not continue the work with the speed and intensity it had started. The Faraajo government also got too deep with regimes that are anti-Turkish in both Ethiopia and Eritrea which created some friction with Djibouti and in northern Somalia.

Remember that with all the problems Somalis have more influence in Kenya than in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia the Somali and Oromo are competitors by geography, economy and past history. The Somali have a leg up in all these fields. By geography Somali have best location, by geography Somalis have their people all around them from Djibouti to Kenya. The Oromo on the other hand are surrounded by competitors in politics, economy, geography...

You live in Canada. You should know very well that Quebec is more ethnic federalism than any Ethnic federal state in Ethiopia. You can't advertise or put your business name in Quebec with big English letters. There is a law in Canada and process if Province wants to separate, just as is in UK. What is the difference between Scottish government in UK and Somali government in Ethiopia, except one is in Africa, is poor and technologically not advanced. You of all persons should have known this fact that the Ethiopian structure is actually the same with different countries, called by different names. Switzerland cantoons are the same by slightly different system. In Switzerland system Kililka would be divided into 2 or 3 cantoons, but all would be Somali cantoons.

In India few states are Ethnic states.

 

As for separatism, what do you think the Alberta independence party? Its everywhere. Where ever there is a union there is also separatism. Its not one or the other. Its also not technological advancement or backwardness. Its not also rich and poor. It may go up or down depending on economy, but the fundamental tendencies do not change.

Its wrong to assume that, if only Somalia had one centralized government, any unhappy area can be crushed and separatism disappear. Never worked that way.

Some people maybe happy Sissi with Arab money and American/Israel help has kept power, but he is planting for Egypt problems that will be difficult to solve. Dignity is lost in the first place. Without that no people can survive by self rule. Always under somebody foreign.
