It’s over for HSM

Yep! Arms embargo uplifting, Debt relief, joining the EA economic bloc was all done by the UK. In fact Turkey and the UAE (who were close friends with HSM at the time of the arms embargo) were against Somalia getting arms embargo uplifted.

At the end of the day the UK/USA want to eat from Somalia the way the ate from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc during the 20th century. It’s in our own interest to keep the big boys happy and satisfied untill we get stronger.
I knew UAE and Ethiopia was against lifting the arms embargo for obvious reasons but Turkey being against lifting the arms embargo is an actual stab in the back by Turkey to Somalia.

Well it depends. Do you think the sitting president and his cohorts would use those weapons for the good of Somalia?

in this case, rejection is protection. Somalia would be irrecoverable if HSM got foreign arms. AS has gotten ahold of donated weapons, vehicles, and supplies. What do you think would happen if the embargo was lifted?
 
Xawaadle deserve elevation in the political order for their organised and tenacious opposition to AS. Hats off to them.
they need to start campaigning on this. ‘Abgaal Xoreeye’ has a nice ring to it

It is as if nothing has changed in the past 50 years. Not an original idea ever crossed XSM's mind, it is as if he is plagiarising his mentor.

His new plan to create a party comprising all government institutions and agencies as done before by S Barre's, who crowned himself as the: a) President, b) Chairman of the SRC party, c) Head of the Council of Minister, and d) self-proclaimed Father of the Nation. All in one!

Jaale Siyaad is most definitely not his mentor but perhaps his idol, an unrequited admiration/obsession(?) for a figure who would most likely look down on him. What HSM lacks is the widespread acceptance or support the Kacaan had in the early years, this article is dated 1976 when MSB was at the height of his power. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is arguably at his lowest point and this is a last ditch desperate, undignified, last resort which most likely fail.


No one in modern Somali politics can be pointed out as supposedly having a mentor in Jaale Siyaad, none of them come close to the level of power he wielded or political sucess, the only thing you accomplish by comparing the two is by making HSM a supposed boogeyman we should all fear. The same way many of you fear MSB.


HSM is no MSB, he is no more likely to seize power in this day and age than his counterparts across the world, like former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol.

why xawaadle are able to resist AS but not abgaal @Jungle we need explanation
You are habar gidir no? If you are it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Where is Xasans subclan from? Galgaduud & Mudug. Sharif subclan are from Middle Shabelle and live along all key routes in and out of the region. He doesn't want to arm our macawiisleey like he did xawaadle and hg as they do not have a figure like Sheikh Sharif. Forget arming them, they'll be left for dead even if they agree to fight. Its politics.

Mind you no qabil one has lost more army commanders and soldiers than Harti Abgaal in this offensive. We hold the sna chief for 8 years consecutive and its not by chance. Farmaajo named Odowaa to keep us happy in the first place and reinstated General Koronto rank which xasan stripped him of.

Taliye Asad and his staff were martyred 6 weeks ago deep inside Hiraan between Jalalqsi and Bulo Burte.

The person xasan fears the most is Sharif without a doubt when cheese was in the villa he was between houses sharif and muse like a wh0re
