in the land called konfuria we only respect and obey strongmen while simultaneously calling for civilian rule.Abdi Ismaciil is a firat rate academic. If Somalis were smart, they would put more people like him in the upper house.
You're confusing him and his brother Ahmed Ismail Samatar who is pro SL. Abdi Ismail has always been pro union and this is the first time he ran for a seat.He is a great academic but he has flip floppy tendencies, he didn't make it in the last few elections and sulked off to Somaliland. I watched his interviews on Farmaajo, his stance is useful for the opposition but he doesn't f with them either, if you want to be a leader you need to get your hands dirty and play hard ball with everyone.
