This one from @HShPrez2Ware 👇

Only a serous country would HSM and his associates like Fiqi Fowdo would be accountable for pissing away the lives of young people. Somalia has been on the abyss since May 15, 2022. Anyone who thought HSM had any wisdom to offer upon his return is equally responsible for the destruction and disaster HSM and his associates inflicted on Somalia.

The post below is a really poor economic argument in trying to entice Uganda keep troops in Somalia. #Somalia literally exports nothing. No meaningful farming, no manufacturing or fisheries at all. So there is literally nothing for Somalia to export to anywhere. There are Somali traders in #Uganda as well as throughout #Africa. But everyone is able to trade commodities. The simple formula of buy low and sale high is oldest form of earning a living. It is NOT sufficiently enticing for Uganda or any African country to welcome Somalis to their countries so they can trade among local populations. In fact, Somalis trading among the local population in many parts of Africa is a source of conflict with local populations and the flashes of violence in South Africa and periodic looting of shops in Kenya are a prime examples. What has been more enticing for Uganda to keep troops in Somalia is the financial contributions from donor nations including America. Another source of economic benefit for is how Uganda’s troops became ingratiated in local lives of communities who host them. Ugandan troops live among Somalis, many have families, trade among them and some engage illicit economic activities. Now, donors are scaling back financial contributions to African troops in Somalia and Musevini considers that a major loss. Musevini also doesn’t have direct control over informal economic sources Ugandan troops established in Somalia. So Somalia offers nothing to export to Uganda and indirect economic benefits are out of Musevini’s control. So HSM has nothing to offer to Musevini to keep troops in Somalia and the post below from one of HSM cheerleaders is a really poor economic arguments as the one that led to Somalia to signed up with @EastAfricaGov.

It is time for all anybody but HSM to come together, show some courage and initiate the process of forming a government for #Somalia. HSM is not legitimate entity to part of any election of sort let alone organize it.

I wonder if reconciliations of communities in active civil war cross this fellow’s mind? He is talking about the HSM fake war on Al Shabaab. The way to defeat Al Shabaab is reconciliation and building peace among warring clans in Mudug and Galgaduud. Al Shabaab thrives in an active civil war zone and it looks like HSM’s handpick man inn Dhuusamareeb is going to be a continuation of going disaster.

I’m old enough to remember when even remotely criticizing the state of #Israel was a politically blasphemous #American politics. Even the remote suggestion or accusation of criticizing Israel used to be considered a carnal sin and immediately ended promising political careers. America has come a long way on its views about Israel. Abdul El-Seyad masterfully articulated the current attitude in American politics about the state of Israel. Notice he is not even being criticized for his views on Israel by Republicans. Instead they want to focus on his ethnicity in attempt to defeat him. If this guy pulls out a victory in the #Michigan senate race, there is a seismic shift in America about the state of Israel and everyone seems to be recognizing it. The only folks who haven’t recognized is a small group of separatists in Northern #Somalia who are trying to split a country. ‼️🔥 #usa #israel #palestine #iran #politics #cong... youtube.com/shorts/NxR-kWCs9… via @YouTube

Then work through the countries on the water shores and cooperate. It is the notion that Ethiopia needs sovereign port which means desire to grab another country’s land and that’s freaking people out and leading to tensions.

Interesting

#Israel’s objectives for the recognition of “Somaliland” were two: 1)Proximity to Yemen 2)Destination to expel survivors of #GazaGenocide survivors The piece added less sure item in which Israelis brought up multiple times. That’s the issue of fresh water. Israel gets significant quantities of its fresh water from desalination process. It is clear how Israel’s foray into northern Somalia helps to address the shortage of fresh water inside Israel.

Longer read of what I have been highlighting below. It is time for Somalis go beyond the personal demonization of Siad Barre by armed groups and few individuals who built careers criticizing him. The focus should be to sort out 21 years of military rule with two categories of lessons: 1)Do’s-things that worked and should be repeated at a mass scale. 2)Don’s-things that did not work and should never be repeated.

The parliament the army dissolved was not legitimate. The 1967 election was dubbed “wood qasaaray” by many because corruption was so rampant in the just-concluded elections prior to the coup. Nearly 60 percent of the seats in parliament were mired in dispute or tied up in litigation with the compromised court system. President Abdirashid was assassinated in very dubious circumstances. The army moved in and put an end to widespread corruption followed by 10 years of spectacular development. The Somali language was written and literacy rate skyrocketed. Nearly 150,000 people were evacuated after a devastating drought struck in the north, central and parts of Somali region in Ethiopia in just 19 days, a remarkable accomplishment for small country. Factories producing food were built making Somalia a net exporter. Ever heard of Somali Fruit Corporation exporting best bananas in the world? Sugar factories in Balcad and Mareeray as well as fish factories in Barawe & Lasqoray and meat factories in Kismayo are good examples. The Wagambo farming rice project in Jowhar was among the promising projects to make Somalia food-secure. The cement factory outside of Berbera was among 65 factories built and made operational within 10 years. The Shalanbood Bacaad Celin project something many said could not be done, was accomplished with volunteer labor organized by the state. Siad Bare made two vital mistakes: 1)Hastily went to war with Ethiopia 2) He overstayed power The hastily decided war ruined the army’s reputation & effectiveness and led to Ethiopia to support clan base armed groups. Said Barre failed to let go of power and sad turned what was left of the army to repel against clan base armed groups backed by Ethiopia. Democracy is a terrific concept but requires honest leadership which Somalia lacked in the 1967 elections hence the “wood qasaaray” declaration by many. The Somali army was spot on to step in and end corruption earning tremendous public support. I’m certain many in the Somali public will welcome an effective army to put the current misery to an end. But the army made the vital mistakes of overstaying power and starting a regrettable war with a neighboring country.

The fog of war between #Ethiopia and #Eritrea dramatized as imminent in the last several years seemed to be replaced by a seesaw civil war mostly inside Ethiopia. Few weeks ago, most reports were consistently streaming Ethiopia National Defense Forces(ENDF) moving with spectacular speed through Tigray region culminating with capture of regional capital Mekelle. This news was replaced by mostly citizen journalists and local media fortune reversal. ENDF moving with rapid pace through Tigray has been replaced with retreats from some towns and villages to regroup. TPLF rebels had been posting about ambushes and large columns of purported ENDF personnel surrendering. The Amhara militia Fano, who are closer to the capital Addis Ababa,has been posting about towns and villages changing controls as well as columns of purported ENDF surrendering. The reports from Tigray and Amhara region paint classical civil war where rebels and fatigued army are seesaw motion for territory control. Eritrea just told the US that there is no crisis with Ethiopia suggesting the two countries are only engaging fog of war.

Excellent question with multilayer and context is important. HSM showed Somalis that he was worst person to occupy Villa Somalia in his 2012-2017 stint. Somalis took note and sent him packing. From 2017-2021, HSM had no money, controlled no territory and no militia. He was just bad mouth with a microphone. The anti-Somalia forces led by Deni, Ahmed Madoobe and reinforced by Halane crowd converged to bring HSM back to Villa Somalia. In addition to the aforementioned characters, HSM was enabled by many in this platform. I’m looking from the leading active users of this platform to apologize to the Somali people and at least own their error in thought process and erroneous conclusions. @hodansomali @AnalystSomalia @alihwarsame @AwHirsiSO @faisalroble19 @RAbdiAnalyst @GaroweOnline @Aynte

You can’t argue with this. “#Somalia has no government”
