TAXANE Musuqmaasuqa

Waa runtiis, @SomaliPM xagee lacagta laga keenay daaraha lagu dhisanayo?

2) La dagaalanka musuqa waa in garsoorka iyo hay’adaha shaqadooda ay tahay (sida xeer ilaalinta) ay ka shaqeeyaan;

#Somalia’s strategy for the war against al-Shabaab will condemn the country to perpetual hell

‘The Lead’ is buried deep inside his article, it says: PM and cabinet need to be replaced!

I disagree. See the thread 👇 2/5
#Somalia’s liberation war against Al Shabaab is led by the national army; i.e. the U.S. & Turkey trained commandos.

Danab 1st defeats the terrorists; then Gorgor finishes the takeover and then the other SNA battalions & Community Resistance Forces hold the liberated areas;

A THREAD :

Why Somalia needs change from Farmaajo’s and Khaire’s ruinous reign;

They were given power and trust and they showed — for five years ( Farmaajo) and three years (Khaire) — that they were not leaders but angry/showy small p politicians;

Somalia needs change;

1/7 Because of their lack of leadership Farmaajo & Khaire unleashed — unnecessarily — hyper-polarization among the Somali society & the political class. This has created 5 years of gridlock, hatred disorientation & stagnation;

Somalia needs change; they do not represent change;

#XisaabXir doorasho (1/4)

Farmaajo sida tartanka guddoonku laga arkay 98 ayuu haysTEY; 12 senate-ka ah wuu heli karaa; 10 codna waa u biiri karaan =120 cod;

#Yuruuruca doorasho kasta 100 cod ayay khasaariyaan;

Jilib-culuska kale, 3 rajo leh & 4 samri la’, 110 cod ayaa u haray 2/4
Jilib-culuska waxaa dhex yaal 110 cod HADDABA, ragga la hadal hayo & 4ta ku daba-dhaggan oo anagaa soo baxayna ku haya, sidee ayay u kala qaybsan doonaan wareegga 1aad — illayn suuragal ma aha in nin kasta yiraahdo 70 cod baan ka kacayaa oo hal 70 ayaa ku jira 110-ka code! Image

Many are wondering if there is a parallel between what is happening in #Afghanistan and what could happen in #Somalia as the weak and the strife-ridden Afghanistan government —propped up by the west for two decades — crumbled and the Taliban swiftly ascended to power.

1/7 There are similarities & differences between Afghanistan & #Somalia

Similarities: Somali government is too weak to fend for itself & if the African Union troops were to withdraw, the gov would probably loose control of the towns surrounded by Al Shabaab, including #Mogadishu

A rejoinder to @1PolicyWonk previous THREAD:

This is how to read #Somalia’s election impasse. It’s about numbers: 329 MPs & senators who will vote for the next President.

Mr. Farmaajo wants to scheme/force/dictate a process that will secure him majority of these 329 voters
1/5 As per the attached media reports, Mr. Farmaajo has already rigged 3 state- level elections: 2018 in Southwest, January 2020 in Galmudug & November 2020 in Hirshabelle. Leaders he produced from those states are now his staunchest allies in the current election debate.

Federal Government of #Somalia exists because of the support it gets from the international community starting with the 20 thousand AU troops that protects FGS & its leaders & allied FMS. Without UE & western countries bankrolling AMISOM, there will be no FGS. That is a fact.
1/4 International community provide ammunition, training & food for the Somali army.

Somalia needs IC for lifting of arms embargo

IC feeds, educates & provides healthcare to millions of Somalis whom FGS cannot help.

IC forgave a billion dollar loan & is working on debt relief.

Up to now, 110 political parties registered (provisionally) in #Somalia,

#Somalis want a democratic state;

The current dispute & delay over the indirect election is due to ONE factor: the outgoing president is scheming to openly and unabashedly engineer his reelection;
1/5 The outgoing Prez had a freehand in 3 local elections and he rigged them ALL, hence the VITAL & sacred duty to protect the national election;

In the #Southwest election, he arrested one contender and exiled the other & when the UN envoy said this is not good, he was PNG-ed;
