Does this man actually live or lived in Puntland in the past few years?

Inaa lilaa waar somaalidu president badanaa, waa yaab.

 

Meel lagu xaalufay ka xaa xaabinayaan walee.

 

Ps, If you are running for a president, I will vote for you any time

^LoooooooooooooooL

 

Haba presidents badnaa daane hadee wax tari lahaayeen fiicnaa laheed. These people live comfortably in the west and go back home to blunder the few resources people have. This was the case with Cadde Uusay. Their consciousness to help their fellow countrymen kicks in when there's a buck to be made of their backs.

^Another fella who wants to run for office back home announcing his candidacy.

 

P.S. They could atleast go back home to survey the situations before presenting themselves as the ones to solve Somalia's problems

Waar Cade UUsay ha ugu yeerin, hadii kale Duke caruu cirka ku shareermi. lool

 

I know waa wada wax ma tara yaal hunguri iyo imaan la aan hayso.

These guys will make it very easy for president Cade Muse to win again. There is no way that anyone coming from abroad in an election year can expects to win. There is already a litte hostility towards people coming from abroad and running for any government position. President Cade was in Puntland for over 2 years before he ran. He took on Abdullahi Yusuf and this almost cost him his life, something the locals respect him for. Because of that reason they let it slide that he came from abroad as well. There is no way he would have won the presidency had he not come to defend what he felt was wrong. Now these individuals are expecting to come in 2008 and run....who are they to the average person on the street? I'm not saying President Cade will definitely win, but no diaspora will be given the top job.

It shocks me that they would try and come right now, you think they'd planned this for years and tried to help the people and get their names out.
