Nuux Taani, the General who squandered the pipe dream, is having trouble reconciling reality on he ground, and the fantasy, and is trying to reassure, if lull those still hopefuls back in Hargeysa & Burco into a deep stupor.
More troubling, I observed a speech impediment in his delusional grandeur, which given his age, and the conditions on the ground, might be indicative of his suffering from an early stage of Alzheimer's. In older people, when they struggle connecting simple words, or easily lose train of thought, is a clear early sign of trouble on the horizon. He definitely in need of care, and being relieved of his post.
For example,
a) He wanted to say 'dheg uma dhigi doono', but could not manage more than 'i) dheg u dhigi doono, ii) dheg uma dhi doono'.
b) In wanting to say 'nabadgelyada qaranka', he managed 'nabadgelyada qadarka'.
c) What does 'haddii kal walba' mean?
d) 'nabadgelyada idigaa ku nool' instead of 'idinkaa ku nool' is another example.
e) 'Intii hawdu socotay' instead of 'hawshu'.
