Why Hassan Sheikh done what Farmaajo could not in 5 years in term of liberation?

Alot of people are asking this question now and here is the simple answer

The two of them follow two different strategies: Farmajo's strategy was to enable his "eternal rule" in Xamar and the central regions aka Hawiyeland so he used the army for political matters bc it's not enough for both liberation and political oppression and he installed his Governors using this force. he sent to Gedo over 800 forces, Dhuusamareeb 500, Baidhabo 600, Baladweyne 300 and kept 1000 In Xamar what more left? his Turkish trained militias were about 3000 the rest were the old tribal army about 25k he sent them to Shabeelooyinka. he was waiting for the Eritrea trained 5000 troops many times they threatened the opposition with these forces. after his failed extension when his militias got defeated in Xamar in two days and he lost the 4 highways of Xamar, The US, the UK and UAE pressured on Afwerki to postpone them to after the elections so basically Farmaajo was living in alternative reality thinking he can rule like Siyad barre by force. his qabiilist advisors were telling him "Hawiye waa daaleen waxaa ka soo harey ganacsato dabaqyadooda iskama duminayaan" so he had two agendas either to boob the elections or have two years extension and he failed even in his own Gedo! a man like this had no time for Shabaab
infact he was following Fahad security policy states to leave Shabaab for the countryside and them ruling the big cities so that their political opponents would not find a place to turn to and launch attacks from. you see now any politician from Hirshabelle can go to his own village. They can drive from Baladweyne to tardo and Adan yabaal and from Adan yabaal to Xamar leave alone the highway. if this land was free under Farmaajo Sanbaloolshe boys from Tardo and ceelhareeri would have joined Shariif and Hassan Sheikh boys in middle shabelle and from there to Xamar so they preferred al Shabaab control of the countryside.

Another important factor was that Farmaajo was depending on the marginalized clans who don't exist on the ground and was against empowering the dominating clans in every region that could fight Al Shabaab the opposite of current Hassan Sh policy.

The defeat of Shabaab will be awakening moment(baraarug Shacab) for the people of Mogadishu and central regions that the likes of Farmaajo should not be given any chance he is gone but the likes of him with Dhaqan askareed should be banned from Xamar politics forever!.

The most important is that the IC prevented him from using the Eritrea trained forces in the elections instead of using them against Shabaab!
now they are going to the right place and the CBB are claiming now the new military strategy of Hassan Sheikh using them against Shabaab 🤣

You mean the impending war? I heard if Farmajo would have won then there would have been a war.

Farmajo was not going to win free elections and the proof is that he lost it in the first round when his predecessors used to lead the first round. Deni was leading the first round because he had most of Daarood votes and Hawiye votes gone to the opposition. Farmaajo got 59 votes mostly from South west it was not their free will too it was the only boob he got from laftagareen rest were from his marnginilazed clans. the battle was decided in favour of the opposition in march 2021 when they captured Xamar so there was no "war" going after that because he was forced to hand over "his powers" to Rooble who finished him.
 
each president makes it easier for the next president to succeed :)
Tell me a single district farmajo liberated? the only one im not sure if i'ts degmo is buurdhuubo Gedo. Hassan Sheikh has liberated majority of degmooyinka in his first term and now he liberated the countryside and two degmo from Middle Shabelle. next two degmo ceelbuur iyo ceeldheer in Galgaduud. Shouldn't Farmaajo liberate Middle Jubba who is fully under Shabaab now? and interms of economy he made them stronger to the point of collecting taxes from the port they collected $100m in 2020 he made for him harder!
all these degmos and towns were liberated under Hassan Sheikh like Jowhar, Buuloburde, Jalalaqsi, barawe, Janaale, Sablaale, kutwaarey, mahaday,.

under Farmaajo

Farmaajo wasted 5 years. But good for HSM to get 5 years to learn from his mistakes in 2012-2017 and come with a proper strategy to defeat Shabaab. He’s benefited from the extra training of troops too that he helped with Turksom and Danab etc. also ICJ case that he started was resolved in Farmaajo’s reign so he avoided political tensions with Kenya. And IMF completion is close which will given him an economic boom.
 
It's nice to liberate the country, but one thing that shouldn't be ignored is the court system AS were using. Many go to them because the government is corrupt or incapable of dealing with disputes. When they are defeated there will be a hole to fill. That should be one of the most important things to be worked on next.

I agree brother. fighting them militarily alone isnt enough. their courts and financial systems must be crushed
