Conflicts have to have winners, and losers. Kismaayo after decades of tussling between USC, SNM, SNF, Ogadeen Vs Harti, Sade Vs Kabalalx etc Ogadeen finally won at the end. Tbh they are 100x more organized, with a common purpose than Marexaan today who are lost. Seems MJ tutored OG well.
I always believed in a partnership between Ogadeen, Marexaan but I still feel this Jubbaland project was rigged against Marexaan. We bring the caaano to Kismaayo, live all the way up to the Dawwa river in B Xaawo, Ethiopian border beginning of Jubba River in Doolow, yet OG have more mps in Jubbaland than Marexaan?! I don’t agree with that math.
Marexaan need to not blame and look in the mirror. While they were in Kismaayo arguing over port money, being lazy Ogadeen politicians were in Kenya, everyone from Ogadeen Kenyan mps, diaspora even the religious establishment in Nairobi were working in unison. You reap what you so.
In any event it is what it is and for now it seems that some Marexaans want to embrace a victor’s peace. Marexaan need to stop thinking about Kismaayo for now and so some serious organization. Its undisputed today, for the last 10 years Ogadeen cemented Kismaayo as theirs.
