This is so tiresome.
There goes Saylac.
Ngl, tho, these two make for good memes.
Take comfort in the fact that this level of spinelessness is a unqiue quality of hsm and he'll be gone next year. While future president's might be corrupt none of them are going to be this subservient.
Then there's the fact that abiy seems to be following a common historical pattern of self destructive actions. I mean how many world leaders started a civil war after being in power for only 2 years? And now even three years after the tigray war the country isn't at peace and is even less stable than it was after the tigray war ended. This all combined with the massive fiscal and economic reforms that began last year which mean that these people who already severly struggling from high food prices and inflation will not see any relief for the next couple of years .
Civili war > increasing instability and massive inflation > massive economic reforms .
Does this not read like a textbook example of the last years before the collapse of govt ?

I don’t pay attention to somali poltics or african poltics anymore. I enjoy having a good mental health and headspace
What do you see happening within the year

I put hsm doing the one man vote thing at 50/50. But regardless of that he's not coming back after the election. None of somalia's political actors want him back even his own qabil will probably support some other guy.
There's also probably gonna be a lot of investment in puntland after they route the terrorists. Probably some advertising about how it's the safest place in somalia now. Notice all the foerign media picking up this puntland campaign? It's happening for a reason. I wouldn't be surprised if some uae investors are involved as well. There also the hoboyo and garland ports.
The new seaport and airport in Mogadishu will be finished in the next year and half. Which is probably gonna increase the amount of qurbajoog and ajanabi who come to the country as well.
You also have the several other stuff like the hospital in garow, and etc. These things combined are gonna result in a lot of changes to the country
Who do you see becoming the new president
Embarrassing photo but at risk of sounding contrarian, this is overall a good thing IMO. Somalia and Ethiopia engaging in state meetings, normalizing relations and being in talks regarding cooperation in various fields like infrastructure, economy, diplomacy is what should happen in the Horn. Its exactly what @Idilinaa mentions before about how Ethiopia should approach its relations with its neighbors.
With that said I don't completely trust Abiy or HSM of course but from the news so far it seems things are going smoothly on both sides.

Even during the middle ages, Somalis and Christian Ethiopians worked with each other to keep commerce and trade going, made sure the caravan trade routes were secure. Even if they sought to fight Somalis over control and access (they always failed), they at least understood they had to work with them as neighbors on some economic and diplomatic level. What we are seeing is not much different than that.
The problem with Ethiopia, they are stuck in the past. Every other country and region on earth Japan, Europe, China etc moved away from their feudal structure and challenged it outright, they are no longer warring neighbors trying to dominate one another and oppress their citizens as peasants beneath them. They fully understood that it is more beneficial to work with one another and respect each others territorial integrity and focus on trade and industrial development.
For 1000 years Ethiopia has kept up the same policy and direction, and all it's led to is political turmoil and regional instability.
It's also why it's economically destitute country as well. It's not simply because they are landlocked. Even today, successful landlocked nations like Switzerland and Luxembourg prove that geographic constraints can be overcome.
Ethiopia’s lack of economic progress is more linked to internal policies, feudal structures, and poor diplomatic relations with neighbors than its landlocked status.
West/Europeans are partly complicit in enabling and supporting this, their constant propping up of them prevents them from forming self-examination and re-structuring and allying them against Somalis
