‼️This is how a Somali military officer should speak to his troops. This is General Abdi Madoobe reminding yesterday’s graduates of Dhuumoodle Military Acedemy of the tenets of warfare that a Soldier fighting to protect should observe. NESSAF (NorthEast State of Somalia Armed Forces) is fighting to protect, not to transgress.

Former United States Ambassador to Somalia, Larry André’s thoughts on granting the secessionist entity in North-western Somalia recognition: “Consider Relevant Facts: ‼️Much of the rhetoric concerning Somaliland status is dishonest. Those making arguments on either side of the question often purposely make false statements and edit out facts that counter their view. Here are some facts I consider relevant to our policy review. · The Isaaq clan accounts for roughly 2/3s of Somaliland’s population. Somaliland independence is overwhelmingly supported by the Isaaq, who dominate the administration and security forces. · The remaining 1/3 of the population are mostly divided among the non-Isaaq Dir subclans and the Darod clan, each with their traditional territories. Their views on Somaliland status are more varied with many supporting an autonomous state within Somalia where Dir and Darod communities also exist. Hargeisa has dispatched the Somaliland military to attack pro-reunion communities within Somaliland, with Las Anod the best-known instance. In the last election, Somaliland’s electoral commission declined to set up voting stations in some pro-reunion areas. · The Federal Government of Somalia recognizes a new Northeastern state made up of pro-unionist (non-Isaaq) communities bordering Puntland. The territory of this new state is within the borders of the former colony of British Somaliland, hence are claimed by the Somaliland administration. · It is illegal in Somaliland to express support for any status other than independence. I heard the Hargeisa delegation during the Djibouti talks defend this law. Somaliland President Bihi once told me, when I asked about Somalilanders who support reunion, “of course we arrest and imprison our traitors.” Prominent Somalilanders active in Mogadishu politics and business cannot return home to visit their families. In Mogadishu, advocates of Somaliland independence are free to express themselves.”

Sh/Dr. Axmed Jaamac Ismaaciil, grandson of Dervish General Ismaaciil Mire, who authored the book “Iftiimin Ku Saabsan Dastuurka iyo Shareecada” played a key role in drafting the constitution of Waqooyi Bari State by ensuring it remains true to the Waqooyi Bari identity and does not contradict the religion and laws of the creator.

🚨 The people of Waqooyi Bari state demand an explanation from Ugaas and house legislator Maxamuud Ugaas Cabdullahi. Welcoming a disgraced horgal into the territory of Waqooyi Bari is an unacceptable insult to the social contract that the people of Waqooyi Bari agreed on. Especially after the unforgettable suffering and stagnation such rapacious men have afflicted on the people. A horgal is not a member of the community and does not deserve a seat in any gathering. Ugaas Maxamuud Ugaas Cabdullahi, and the elders present should issue an immediate apology and explanation to the people of Waqooyi Bari.
