I thought you meant Hashara was on the loose as a fugitive or something. Anyway...

 

He looks like a good candidate! Well educated and experienced, he might be the best now among the candidates. And I see he's detained once in Laanta Buur prison by Siad Barre, so he must have some kind of conscious. Hope he's free of qabiil!

[OG_Girl]

I think this guy was in prison with my grand father...

 

Salam

[Gabbal]

Good luck to him.

[Gediid]

The man has left nothing off his resume including his time in the pen.I wonder what his new resume after the elections will sound like

 

2004-Ran for President but lost dismally

[Senora]

^^^LOL.....I was like.." Hows that work experience"....

 

Well better to get it out b4 others try to bring him down with it I guess....

 

Is the election really on the 10th?.....or is that like a primary...?

[General Duke]

He is a good man, deserves his chance. He seems to be in it for the experience though, like Gediid mentions above it goes well with the CV.

[Saxardiid]

It seems he is experienced, educated and not a warlord. What more you can ask. Will parliament full of warlords give him a chance?

[Sophist]

Fat chance of that happening?

 

Isn't he the brother of the current Puntland president (acting president) H.E. Ahmed Abdi Hashi?

[Nationalist]

yes sophist, he's the brother of Puntland's vice president Muhammad Abdi Hashi.
