Why the hell are we allowing this. We're too busy fighting amongst ourselves while our enemies move to take over more of our land and cities.
Cagjar will do anything to remain in power. The man is completely without shame. Totally shameless. This is an underrated political trait, it can take you very far.
A magan everywhere you go, your opinions don't matter anywhere. Having you talk about this is like having a gypsy talk about Slovak politics. Yes, you are technically a Somali and have that right but that does not mean you should exercise that right.

Even worse is that Ethiopia's Finance Minister (a SOMALI man!) in conjunction with CAGJAR straight up stole 20% of Galbeed's budget!
20% of Somali Region budget stolen by Ethiopia's Finance minister!
Ahmed Shidle, the Finance minister of Ethiopia has been exposed, he and his close relatives- with support from Cagjar- have plundered 20% of DDS's budget! Officials benefiting off this include... Abdikadar Rashid Duale, head of Somali Region Security Office. He basically was the muscle of the...

After Wardheer's new hit piece I think that man will go as low as treason to stay in power this guy is more then shameless.
Imagine paying baad to a someone like Shide. The combined population of the three majority Guure woredas is smaller than the population of Gunagado. Hilariously, Cagjar is consolidating those three woredas into a full fledged region.
It really is crazy how much fake news is spread on social media and people just readily believe it. That picture was from many months ago or probably years ago when they were renovating the town square and fixing the roundabout. You can see that it's just rubble from construction.
This is how it looks now when they finished it. Compare this to the picture they they put up in the tweet.

Why on earth is there even a statue of sayid Mohammed in jigjiga I mean I mean the region is understanding occupation of Ethiopia I think the sayid would prefer a place such as burco or buhoodle to honer him a place he had actually Connection with or Berbera. Where hé first landed and started his struggle why on earth jigjiga of all places a region for the most part rejected his struggle there was only one incursion he led into jigjiga in the 20 year jihad one incursion the other struggles were for the most part 90 percent in former british Somaliland protectorate and deep into some areas of eyl puntland after the ilig treaty.of 1907.
No statues should be allowed anyway plus apparently

They are no longer under direct military occupation, the Somali Region is now autonomous and governs itself.
So, the notion that Abiy Ahmed could simply waltz in and remove the statue is unrealistic, completely detached from reality.
There is a statue of him in Jigjiga because he is viewed as a symbol of resistance to the Ogadenians, who continue to pursue their struggle for self-determination. While their resistance may have shifted from military or insurgent means to political ones, it remains very much alive.
Why u mad? He is right statues are haram whether u like it or not
Statues are haram weather you like it or not, if the sayyid was alive he would slaughter your for it you Abbysinan property

Did you know how vile the Amharas were back then? I do not blame my forefathers.
Additionally in those times it actually was a crime for a merchant to sell firearms to the Muslims of East Africa under the pretext of anti-slave trade laws, obviously the horrendously opressive slave-napping Amharic regime did not face this treatment and actually were better armed then some European states (when Italy attacked they had more firearms, better firearms, and better artillery).
Simply resistance was incredibly hard in those days as a few old ass Turkish muskets really can do nothing to stop a army of 100,000 Xabashis with rifles, long-guns, and maxims.
This claim is provably false.
First, it completely removes the context that the Somali Region received virtually no development support before 2018 and was militarily suppressed by the TPLF-led federal government. It was deliberately marginalized and underdeveloped for decades, which is why it lagged far behind other regions. Any fair assessment of its current trajectory must weigh new progress against that backdrop of historic repression and neglect.

Now, let’s address the specific false allegations one by one:
a) “Chronic poverty despite federal investment”
In reality, wealth and incomes have risen significantly in Ogaden since 2018. Financial inclusion has expanded rapidly , the region had been far behind even neighboring Somalia in this area due to past economic repression. With new access to banking, credit, and entrepreneurship, income and business development have grown steadily.
The Reporter Ethiopia — Financial inclusion fueling growth
b) “Unemployment and displacement of youth”
This is also inaccurate. Youth unemployment has declined thanks to large-scale investments in vocational skills training programs rolled out across the region. These programs are equipping thousands of young people with employable skills, which is the opposite of displacement.

c) “Collapse of trust in government institutions”
On the contrary, trust in government and institutions has been growing, as seen in rising tax compliance and revenue collection. This shows increasing public engagement with and confidence in local governance.
Economic observers have even compared the Somali Region’s post-2018 trajectory to fast-industrializing nations, noting that it is rewriting the script for post-conflict recovery:
d) “Brain drain”
This is simply not supported by evidence. In fact, the Somali Region has one of the lowest outward migration rates in Ethiopia. There is no large-scale exodus of educated youth.
e) “No real development ‘a state captured by one family’”
This is baseless. There has been extensive development across the Somali Region since 2018, in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and business. Suggesting that “development is stolen before it begins” is completely detached from reality.

What about the recents jailings? it's hard to believes these statistics when the Ethiopian economy is stagnant for years.This claim is provably false.

I listed a lot of it in another thread:
The Somali region operates separately from the wider interior/highland Ethiopian economy i pointed to this in a different thread, it's trade/business orientations pulls towards other Somali regions:
This part is actually pretty telling because it hints at how Somali Region is tied economically tied into the Somali-speaking Horn of Africa network than to the Ethiopian highland economy because it contraband trade with Somalia, Kenya, and Djibouti and not with interior Ethiopia.
This is big part of the reason why collecting tax is complicated because so much trade is happening informally across international borders which implies that a lot of economic activity bypasses the state and its formal systems (customs, taxation, regulation).
I don't now about the specifics behind the reported jailing by Cagjar but the fact that trade and movement has increased shows that there is very little political repression going on for the most part.
