Our minds are not objective logical machines. Our minds are vast networks of ideas striving not necessarily for truth, but for internal consistency.

@LandofPuntites The article regarding the elders is from the 1956 issue of the Ethiopian Observer.

Haile Selassie understood PR well and used respected Western writers like Sylvia Pankhurst to shape Ethiopia’s image, build sympathy abroad, and secure political leverage.

@Guntigaab How does that make any sense?

So out of a population of one million, fewer than 3% are registered to vote?

Most of the population is concentrated in the capital, with no real barriers like travel distance or lack of infrastructure to justify such low figure.

@SLfirst16 Moqdishu folks have failed to even unite amongst themselves for 30+ years.

PL created flawed & regressive system that only further divides.

B. Dhexe in SL constant bickering over trivial matters.

There’s no “ peripheral problem” but a collective tunnel vision Somali Problem.

@ADHassanDr 1950 - SL elders fumbled 120km2 of land to Ethiopia.

1960 - In an attempt to correct the previous mistake, they fumbled SL sovereignty.

2024 - Current leadership seems determined on making another historic blunder.

@SLfirst16 Using the MoU as leverage, Hargaisa has the upper hand to pressure Xamar/Jabuuti to reach a win-win deal.

9 months in & the baddow Muuse & his circle are sitting idle waiting for aabo Abiy as he shuffles his own cards.

New breed of leaders is badly needed.

@BLOOPBLEEPBLEE HSM wants to be Sisi’s lapdog.

Just like Abdillahi Yusuf was Zenawi’s lapdog.

Dabodhilifnimada waad ka simantihiin.

@Abdirik Let’s not forget Eritrea, who not only resisted but destroyed their army & made them forever landlocked.

The geographical “prison” Abiy likes to talk about is what protected them from empires.

Just imagine if the Nile river flowed southwards and boats could sail into Ethiopia

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@Me35240532Me You clearly missed the point about the onion.

Creating borders based on clan territory is like opening a can of warms. At some point, even subclans will start to create new flags. In 98, PL didn’t fathom that in due time, new so called “states” will start to peel off underneath.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@SLfirst16 MoU was a good PR stunt for SL & a leverage for 🇪🇹 to negotiate better port deals.

That’s it.

Ethiopia has no intentions of recognising SL. Why would it surround itself with 3 independent & functioning Somali states?

Weak & divided Somalis is her long term strategy.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@Me35240532Me PL was created on clan (Harti) based borders. Clan federation waa sida basasha oo kale. Today, Harti is waving around at least 3 different flags. It’s simply unviable. The “system” by default, is flawed and only further divides hence why it’s not working in JL, PL, H’Shabele etc

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@Me35240532Me Firstly, I’m no fan of HSM. Peace in PL is relative. Every major clan is armed to the teeth & clashes between MJ has become the norm. The “system” is clan federalism which doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Creation of SL in 91 was based on a historical border shared by many tribes.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@ridgulle Absolutely.

🇪🇹 had 30+ years to recognise SL if it wanted to.

Now her precondition is “give me an arm + a leg” just to entertain the idea of recognition?

No thanks.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@ridgulle You laugh but 🇪🇹 plan for Somalis is far more sinister than you think.

They supply arms to PL therefore indirectly arming SSC while playing best buddy with SL.

They discreetly draw up maps expanding into dhul Soomaliyeed

Oromia according to google is few miles of SL border.

@AbdiAbdinur @HassanKeynan2 @bulshoTrust_ We all know who the father is.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@GabarTruth2016 @VictoryShire Speaking of reconciliation, history is littered with lessons. In 1991, southerners outsourced their reconciliation & peace process to other countries, Djibouti, Kenya etc while SL held theirs internally.

The difference in results is there for one to examine & learn from.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@Mudug2Ldn Fact.

Many people including so called intellectuals haven’t yet grasped the level of damage these two men have caused to the collective Somali conscious & dignity.

Sharraf dil bay ku suntanyihiin.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@ridgulle I warned about this back in January.

Ethiopia is using this to get the best deal possible without recognising SL.

Outside of Abiy’s singular & elusive recognition, Hargeisa has shown to have no other plans to effectively use the MOU to its long term advantage.

Simpletons.

[Nasir @That_Stardust]

@imanmali @M_Farmaajo Stop waffling.

1. SL was built on a legal and historical border NOT on some tribal construct.

2. PL birthed the idea of tribal borders thus starting a never ending avalanche of clan “states”.

3. A. Yusuf is the architect of the current occupation, division & humiliation.
