voasomali.com/a/5963899.html…
- The father who is in Afgoye, outside #Mogadishu, said my son called me from Makelle, and told me that he wants to come back home. I sent him money. He was brought to Samera, Afar, then Jijiga, Hargaisa, Garowe.

It is true: he was among soldiers presented by #Puntland.
The father also reported that his son told him while in Tigray: he finished training 19 months ago
- In a curios note, the father reported that people who killed his son were people he learned recently: they were not his friends. He was stabbed to death. #Somalia
The father also reported that #Puntland offered his son to stay in Puntland and be part of its forces: the father wanted his son to be FGS soldier, not Puntland’s. He refused, saying he wants to see his son whom he have not seen for 28 months. #Somalia

Sambalooshe, former spy agency, NISA,
director speaking to VOA:
- I hired Ikran Farah in April, 2017 as an agent in my office; later I appointed her to Human rights and Gender of NISA.
- former Deputy NISA, Guled, also confirms Ikran being NISA agent,
voasomali.com/a/5966833.html
- Speaking to VOA Somali, former NISA deputy, Abdisalam Guled, supports that Ikran Farah was picked up from green zone, suggesting government involvement. The area refered to is between Global Hotel & KM O, NISA HQ in Shibis, northern #Mogadishu, or Ex- Mama khadijo Ali Mahdi HQ
A curios question is: was Ikran Farah working for NISA since 2017, or did she leave the agency while she was the director of the Mayor of #Mogadishu’ office & then returned to it, or did she remain as NISA agent while she was the director of the mayor’s office, prior to his death

Mother at prominent TV:
_ Her daughter Ikran Tahlil Farah left her house on 6/26, at 8:03 PM, #Mogadishu. She is missing.
- Linkedin has a profile with similar name. Jobs held include: executive secretary of NISA, and Chief Staff of Mogadishu of assassinated Mayor Yarisow
Mother suspects NISA abduction.
- It is not clear why the missing woman chose to identify her former employer of 10 months, NISA. Doing so, while in Mogadishu suggests taking unnecessary major risks
- Is there any links to the un-explained assassination of Eng Yarisow? #NISA
One un-verified claim @AhmedAbdullahi_ is that she has information pertaining to a female suicide bomber said to have killed her late boss, Eng Yariisow.
- The female suicide bomber was pictured with President Farmaajo
- Washington post run story on this

Farmajo has been disaster for the security of Somalia; security has worsened since 2016, majority of the time since 2016, Farmajo was ruling Somalia .
The report notes three factors that may worsen the security in Somalia:
- upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections
- The crisis in Tigrai region, #Ethiopia
- Trump’s Plan to withdraw US security forces from Somalia .
- This writer: the omens for Horn are not propitious
Under Farmajo security has been declining:
- Shebab expanded its reach to Puntland and Somaliland
- levies taxes throughout #Somalia,including Mogadishu, Kismayo and Bosaso port.
- controls major roads,
enjoys freedom of movement and adjudicates disputes in Fed controlled areas

I agree, let us make sure Mogadishu or banadir region does not participate meeting since it is not FMS; Mogadishu is needed though because it has to supply the venue and taxes to support the meeting between FGS/FMS; Jubbaland and Puntland must insist no seat for Banadir Governor
I further agree without US input Somali leaders will not have taken the reasonable or logical steps to moderately free and fair elections. Why this is so? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
Banadir region did not attend Dhuusomareeb I and II, Puntland and Jubbaland did; Banadir region did attend Dhuusomareeb III, Puntland and Jubbaland did not attend Dhuusomareeb III; the question is shall Banadir attend #Mogadishu I to finalize the election deal?

Abdirahman A Warsame posted this in his facebook:
- I saw the US ambassador acting as if covid19 was no more, mingling, acted like guarantor; armed troops were everywhere, they even gave me salute, learned that they were Jubbaland and Puntland forces to guard their leaders
- Image
More troops and army vehicles came to me, he noted, after they suspected about things, he did not mention what these were. I am confident, he noted, that they will not meet with Farmajo without other regional leaders being on the table, optimistic assessment.
“ bread politicians” he said, referring to Hawiye and other politicians, who, per general perception, only think about $$, rather than represent their constituencies, need to learn some lessons from this; what lesson? they are like Jinns who labored after Salamon (Farmajo)died
