The Issa clan is the only Somali clan with a recognized sovereign state: Djibouti. For more than 50 years, the Issa have led the country. Although Darood, Dir, and Hawiye are considered among the most powerful Somali clans, they do not have a state of their own like Djibouti.
Hypocrites de merde.
Vous vivez à Djibouti, vous criez 24h/24 �� nous sommes Djiboutiens », mais vous défendez le Somaliland comme des chiens. Arrêtez de jouer les patriotes djiboutiens tout en servant une autre cause.
#Djibouti
Les personnes originaires de Hargeisa, Burco, Berbera et Borama qui vivent à Djibouti sont des gens qui détestent Djibouti, nourrissent de la haine et de la rancœur à son égard, et souhaitent même sa destruction.
Prenons l’exemple de cet hypocrite visible ici : il s’est lui-même présenté comme un « Laandheere Djib-Lander » (Somaliland + Djibouti), tout en insultant le gouvernement djiboutien et en appelant à sa destruction.
Il y a beaucoup de personnes comme lui à Djibouti. Le gouvernement djiboutien devrait prendre des mesures fermes à leur encontre.

What surprises me about some Djiboutians on X is that they want to control your opinions and even what you post. They expect everyone to express themselves only in ways that please them. As soon as you share an opinion they disagree with, they immediately get angry.
Vous n’avez aucune dignité.
Ces gens devraient se faire retirer la nationalité djiboutienne immédiatement et être renvoyés d’où ils viennent : Hargeisa et les autres coins du Somaliland.
Assez de cette hypocrisie.
Le pays qui vous a élevés, qui a payé votre école, votre université, c’est Djibouti. Vous voyagez avec un passeport djiboutien… et pourtant vous défendez un territoire que même votre propre pays ne reconnaît que comme une administration régionale ou clanique.
Amb Liu Xianfa, China’s Special Representative on African Affairs, visited Djibouti from Nov 7 to 9. He met with Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh and held consultations with senior FM officials. The two sides agreed to deepen coordination and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region. 🇨��🇩🇯#HornOfAfrica #RedSea
@Binaryoperatio2@IBRAHIM_M1998 We’ve not only trained them but Djiboutians contributed to the DP World investment in Berbera, something you couldn’t do alone since no one was recognizing at that time. You’re the one making false claims.

An examination of historical exclusion, contemporary political representation and access to Ethiopia's federal institutions
By Gafdiid
Introduction:
Representation Is More Than Having a Few Ministers
The debate over the political position of Ethiopian Somalis has once again become prominent following the recent clashes around Moyale and the competing narratives surrounding the relationship between Somalis, Oromos and the Ethiopian federal government.
In responding to these developments, some commentators have argued that claims of Somali marginalisation under the Prosperity Party government are exaggerated. They point to the relative autonomy of the Somali Regional State, the appointment of Somali politicians to prominent federal positions, and what they describe as improvements in regional administration since 2018.
Jawar Mohammed's argument deserves consideration, particularly where it highlights changes in regional autonomy, the reduction of federal interference in certain regional affairs and the political gains made by the Somali Regional State compared with some previous periods.
However, there is a fundamental problem with this argument: it confuses regional political autonomy and the appointment of a handful of prominent individuals with meaningful representation in the institutions where federal power is exercised.
A region can enjoy greater administrative autonomy while its population remains underrepresented in the central institutions responsible for national policy, security, finance, diplomacy, public administration and economic decision-making.
The question, therefore, is not simply whether Somali politicians occupy some important positions. It is whether Ethiopian Somalis have equitable access to the federal structures that govern the country.
To understand this question, we must examine the distribution of power across Ethiopia's federal institutions.
1. How Large Is Ethiopia's Federal Leadership Structure?
Ethiopia's federal government is considerably larger than its Council of Ministers. Its political and administrative structure extends across ministries, commissions, independent authorities, public enterprises, security institutions, diplomatic missions, universities, courts and regulatory bodies.
For the purpose of this analysis, we can establish a preliminary estimate of approximately 2,900–6,030 senior federal leadership positions, with a working midpoint of approximately 4,465.
This is an analytical estimate rather than an officially published government headcount. It requires further verification, particularly to eliminate overlapping institutional categories.
The estimate covers eight broad categories:

Today, Chairman welcomed H.E. Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, Speaker of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, accompanied by H.E. Dileita Mohamed Dileita, President of the Djibouti National Assembly at our Port facilities.
The high-level delegation began their visit with a tour of the Doraleh Container Terminal (SGTD), followed by a visit to the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone (DIFTZ).
Discussions focused on further strengthening port cooperation between Djibouti and Somalia, building on the operational collaboration and knowledge-sharing initiatives already established between DPFZA and Somalia ports.
This cooperation has contributed to technical support, expertise-sharing and operational training for the development of Somali ports:
- Mogadishu Port: Technical assistance with the donation of two tugboats M/T Bab el Mandeb and M/T Moussa Bouh, container-handling equipments with spare parts, the deployment of a technical support team from Djibouti for a period of two years, and training of port duty officers.
- Bossaso Port: Bathymetric survey of the access channel of the port basin; upgrading navigation aids; donation of one tugboat M/T Hassan Gouled Aptidon and Rasyan pushcat; Port tariffs and regulation study.
- Bossasso Airport: Advisory support for Bossasso airport concept design for the runway direction
- Garacad Port: Advisory support for ports operations and ports management.
- Berbera Port: Engineering and operational training for 11 senior staff during 6 months in Djibouti.
- Hobyo Port: Developing the port of Hobyo, site location, metocean studies, conceptual port design; a preliminary road concept design including cost evaluation (CAPEX) for the corridor linking Hobyo-Cadaado-Caabudwaaq to connect Somali region of Ethiopia to the Indian Ocean.
Djibouti Ports and Free Zones and Somalia ports will continue their cooperation through continued experience-sharing, technical exchanges and the strengthening of maritime connectivity between Somalia and Djibouti ports.
We have currently 11 Somali business companies operating in Djibouti's Free Zones, reflecting the growing economic and commercial ties between the two Nations.
