Faroole said Today I attended the inauguration of the President of one of the federal states in Somalia Mohamed Abdi Waare.
Journalist Hassan Adde: In what way is today‘s inauguration different to previous ones?
Faroole replied tongue in cheek: This inauguration underscores and exemplifies that the country is a federation and federal and that the formation of federal states is completed and that this state we are inaugurating its President is the last state and the closest in vicinity to Mogadishu (nervous laughter from Hassan Adde as he understood the political pun and dig).
Hassan Adde: What is your view in attending and participating in today‘s inauguration? Does it have a great meaning for you being here today.
Faroole again tongue in cheek: Yes it has a great meaning for me to attend today in this inauguration as federalism has come close to Mogadishu as it reached Balcad, Caliyale and Ceel Cirfiid which are just on the city outskirts of Mogadishu.
Faroole is the king of subliminal insults. When Sheikh Sharif visited Garowe for the first time, Faroole brought him to an IDP camp. He then said these people came from Balcad. Balcad is an exclusive Abgaal town, home to Sh. Sharif's subclan
