Ok i asked it

I believed you at first but the fact u entertaining this guy is making me sus.

I was actually curious, how can a random sentence i wrote be detected as an AI? I found it to be rather amusing and then disappointment that it didn't show in the end.

He is reaching to discredit the points i make, when all of it is from my own research and knowledge base. I even link and source all of it throughout the thread, to make it more obvious.

It's also funny how how he can misrepresent a single sentence i wrote to imply i am lazy, when i read, research and analyze large body of publications, books and data which require a lot of work.

Whilst sitting behind a keyboard typing derision and obsessing over politics require zero work.

theland is a useless troll

It takes one to know one i guess. You both you should get together and touch grass for the first time in months.

Why are the images cut off? Why are you asking in one screenshot, and then the answer comes in another separate screenshot that doesn’t contain the question but contains an answer? Why would you do that when you could have easily fit the response into that first small screen grab? That is incredibly odd.

Because i have to screenshot the screen, it extends further down and then i have to scroll down each time to capture the full lenght of it.

This is the extant of which i can zoom out to %33 to cover the whole page and it will just become blurry.

AI talking about soul

Ai has a great sense of humor but it’s correct cause it’s writing her sentences for her so it sounds like it wasn’t written by a human. As soon as I read it, I could tell it was ai slop. In another thread she wrote this and @Removed thought she was Cagjar’s burner. ‘If you want a real-world example, look at how the Somali region of Ethiopia (Ogaden) stabilized. They didn’t defeat insurgency with pure force , they set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and invested in grassroots governance. Local councils were empowered, which fostered clan dialogue, built trust, and expanded inclusive governance.’ I put it into ChatGPT and it said basically the same thing Removed did without knowing he said it:

This how anyone can tell you are forcing this AI nonsense. Because it spits out something completely irrelevant to what i have spoken about.

Not a single time did i actually mention or make commentary on Ethiopia's entire federalism system, in that other thread.

Nor have i mentioned or commented on Oromia, Amhara or Tigray governance either.

What i did however was describe the various organizations they set up in the Somali region to achieve political reconciliation and how they have worked.

This is what i said

That’s the only thing you took away from the article? Not the fact that, in addition to the SRC, they also helped establish the Somali Region Victims Network, the Council of Peace and Unity (CPU), the Somali Non-State Actors Coalition, and the Women’s Dialogue Space (Ugaaso) , all grassroots organizations focused on peacebuilding and reconciliation?

And it is based on this article, which i share a lot.

Five years ago, on 21 October 2018, the Government of Ethiopia and the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) signed the Asmara Peace Deal - an historic occasion marking the end of over 30 years of armed conflict in the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia (SRS). But a peace deal isn’t an...

And yes, they have a more inclusive government. Before they used to have a military government dominated by non-Ogadenian's. Now they have a civil administration with self-rule.

That's a major improvement. Again this is from a post made by Somali Digital Media in which it describes the political transformation. It's not taken from AI.

That said, it still marks an improvement from the past, especially considering that for decades the Somali Region had no self-rule at all and was governed through militarization rather than civilian authority. The current situation, while far from perfect, at least offers a level of regional autonomy, civil governance and development

I don't need to be Cagjar burner or AI to acknowledge any of it . But keep reaching , because nothing will take away from anything i have said no matter how you attempt to spin it.

I give props and credit, where credit it is due. If people are making progress or improvements i'll comment on it and share it. I don't carry resentment towards the Somali collective like you guys do where i act blind to development taking place or ally myself exclusively with a clan, faction or region.

Nothing said there was taken from AI. Everything i said was true. They did literally set up a local council called "Council of Peace and Unity" which is focused on promoting peace and stability within the region. They also did set up a committee called "Truth and Reconciliation Commission"

It's directly taken from an article i linked. Maybe you should read it.

Information taken straight out of an article that outlines it all , is AI apparently. The reach.

There is reason to why when you copied my words, AI spewed unrelated word salad about Oromia, Amhara, Tigray and Abyi Ahmed and NGO with no mention to the Somali region or developments that took place there.

I'd take AI with a big grain of salt but each to his own, google is first n foremost a company and has company interests at heart not the truth. I prefer to use China internet dude not this shareholder driven shit called Google and AI business firms.

I don't blame them tho, it's a hustle and they can eat sxb and should off you and consumer attention to it. In wax la dhuuqo ceeb ma aha intanan adigu lagu duuqin.

I notice on the spot no wonder Somalis conflict we all raised to different values in Somalia or abroad. Some sheikhs, some just petty hood, due to single mom origins, some focused on looks n appearance, some r for education(smart they want a marketable skill).

What I meant was martial law, which is something declared during a national emergency. In Somalia’s case, it was triggered by serious security threats: a coup attempt, border conflicts with Ethiopia, and rising foreign-funded subversion. The country was on the brink of political collapse, and martial law was a response to stabilize the situation. It ''saved'' the country and changed its trajectory.

After that, the Kacaan government began to build real democratic institutions:

-Local councils, regional governors, and district-level elections were established.

- Trade unions, youth and women’s organizations, and civil society were encouraged to participate.

-Decentralization reforms were rolled out, rare for a so-called “dictatorship.”

If Somalia had truly been under a classic dictatorship, all power would’ve been centralized, and participation crushed. But Kacaan promoted broad-based representation from pastoralists, students, professionals, and workers through organized unions. That’s the opposite of one-man authoritarianism.

And let’s not forget, martial law is temporary, not a permanent political system. Many post-colonial African countries had similar periods without being labeled dictatorships. What matters is what followed, and in Somalia’s case, it was mass literacy campaigns, rural development, and institutional reform, not pure repression.

The same martial law framework was re-applied when Ethiopia backed insurgents attacked Somalia again in the 1980s. If it hadn’t been for that defensive measure, Somalia would have collapsed in the early 1980s, not 1991.

Any ideas how we can stop any future potential one party regimes from becoming ''Jiko reer hebel''? Or even worse, a personality cult, officials and shacab queuing up to kiss the picture of the great leader for daily drops of wisdom. Because these two developments took down Kacaan not external pressure, internal rot was what brought it down and the inner circle of Kacaan either too afraid to speak up or facilitating and profiting from all the mismanagement.

Knowing the Somali psyche and culture, I simply can't see how we can avoid that. We need two party system it is less efficient for sure but much more lasting. Without incentives systems rot and when the inevitable decay comes easy path for alternative saves nations. For our country a multi party khilaafo is a no go zone it is even worse than one party state.

It wasn’t internal rot that brought Kacaan down at all. In fact, several foreign-sponsored coup attempts failed. They also failed to trigger mutinies within the Somali military, and the political leadership remained largely cohesive and intact.

'failed to set off mutinies within the Somali military"

That’s exactly why external actors , Ethiopia, the Soviets bloc, Isreal and others , shifted tactics. They began organizing proxy groups abroad to wage asymmetric warfare and create unrest. The goal was to bleed Somalia’s economy, exhaust the state militarily, and wear down its central government.

There were even attempts to infiltrate NSS (Somalia’s equivalent of the CIA), and they still couldn’t fracture the core leadership.

So no ,the collapse wasn’t because of internal rot or a personality cult alone. It was sustained external sabotage that eventually wore down the state’s capacity to respond on all fronts.

The social organizations and unions that were represented within the government actually functioned as political parties. And in some ways, they were better than the so-called political parties in the West , which are often controlled by elite donors or lobbyists. These Somali organizations genuinely represented civil society: youth, workers, women, professionals, and communities. That’s far closer to real democratic representation than the party-brand games others play.

 

[Idilinaa]

Your comment confuses correlation with causation and overlooks some fundamental realities. Let me ask you this: Why does Somalia’s private sector thrive across regions and clan lines, while the public sector remains dysfunctional, corrupt, and divisive?


The answer is simple: ''foreign interference''. The Somali private sector is independent, funded by Somalis themselves, built on trust, and driven by real local needs. The public sector, on the other hand, is largely shaped by foreign agendas, propped up by external aid, and engineered through a federal system that was designed to keep Somalia weak and fragmented.

You mention Somali elites, but who created the current political framework, that empowers those elites? It's not grassroots Somali movements. It was developed in Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and under UN oversight. That system incentivizes division, not unity. Elites are chosen based on their ability to serve that system, not the Somali people.

Yes, Somalis have internal issues. But those issues are exacerbated, sustained, and manipulated by external actors. Blaming Somalis entirely while ignoring the role of the systems they are trapped in is shortsighted. If the private sector can build cross-clan trust and functional cooperation, then it proves that the problem isn't inherently Somali, it's structural and external.

The solution? End foreign-engineered federalism, rebuild a unitary but decentralized state, and restore Somali-led governance with legitimacy rooted in the people. That’s when you’ll start to see real transformation, not by scapegoating Somalis for a mess they didn’t architect.

I have to say this last thing:

You know what the irony is? In trying so hard to control Somalia through the public sector, foreign actors completely overlooked the private sector , and in doing so, they left it wide open for Somalis to take full ownership.

The result? Somalia now has one of the only African economies that is entirely locally owned and operated. No foreign conglomerates dominating the markets, no puppet monopolies, just Somalis building systems based on trust, necessity, and cooperation.

While foreign powers fought to control ministries and politicians, ordinary Somalis quietly built telecoms, fintech financial systems, logistics networks, factories/plants, energy/fishing/agro companies and domestic production chains all from the ground up.

The private sector will be key in winning back civic and political control of the country , and in reclaiming our future.

When do you think this sort of system is gonna break apart

 

[Idilinaa]

When do you think this sort of system is gonna break apart

Which system? The public sector? If so , I think it's already starting to unravel in some ways. People are losing trust in foreign-driven governance, and local communities are building parallel systems that actually serve their needs , from security to business to social services. The question isn’t if it breaks, but how fast it gets replaced by something more Somali-led and locally grounded.

This shift is accelerating especially now that funding sources from the EU, US, and others are drying up. Without that foreign lifeline, the current system can’t sustain itself for much longer
