Mash'Allah good news. First Somali to win a federal seat in Addis Ababa.
She's been in Ethiopian politics for a long time and so was her father AUN. Glad to hear the good news that she won her federal seat in Addis Ababa. Abiy Ahmed made a good choice and she is already State Minister of Health.
Congrats to her.

What's up with these Jibril Yonis folks. They keep winning.
So they are both Dahir Riyale's sub-clan, Reer Dudub, soomaha.As an aside, I think it's lovely that more women are influencing politics in Ethiopia. It's a win for Somali women as well and for Beesha.

Nimco Ali Maydhane wins the federal state house seat in Dire Dawa State in the elections.
Mash'Allah.

Mash'Allah.
Who would have thought Ethiopia was more equitable? The educational attainment and literacy rates for women are higher than in Somalia. And there is greater political participation for women. Somalia should take notes.
We are producing a crop of highly educated and politically active Somali women particularly among Beesha. 3 for the win.It's wonderful news for us Somalis. I agree.
All three are our relatives.
There were some other Awdalite candidates who ran aswell in Dire Dawa, let's see if they won and they have a number of seats already. So far in these elections, it's 2 federal Dire Dawa seats, Nimco and Sa'diya and 1 Addis Ababa federal seat, Dr Saharla.
The fact that it was women who won this much is really amazing. Kudos to the Ethiopian political system that have empowered women to run.

Wow, 4 Somali women and Insh'Allah more to come. I think Ethiopia is being more strategic and envelope pushing which is a plus. I congrat all these women and anymore to come as results become avaliable.
How many seats did somalis in Dir Dhabbe won?
Unfortunately it's never going to be a fair election. They've already arrested many ONLF candidates. Ethiopia is good at empowering women, but crap in democracy.
The ONLF would have made great gains in some areas, but many have been arrested unfortunately.
PP have already won.
