At least there’s a lot of ‘ghost’ security budget. If Bihi is smart he can cut expenses while still improving post performance. Time for anti-corruption drive, needs mustThat is cost of war. It slowly trickles down to everything including the economy, which is expected but not accounted for, if both sides were smart enough they would let this go by now. It will only get worse before it gets better.
Jigjiga is the new Manhattan of SomalisThere was always an assumption on the part of Somaliland that the Berbera-Addis corridor would have Hargeisa as the node of trade in Somali inhabited parts of the corridor. I have been following the development of Jigjiga closely for a couple of years, and it seems to me that much of the investment that was expected to take place in Hargeisa has gone to Jigjiga.
Jigjiga is to Hargeisa what Nairobi is to Mogadishu. It has rule of law, banks, courts, better infrastructure etc.. Somaliland was unable to create these things over the past 32 years, Jigjiga is piggybacking off Ethiopia's established systems.
Jigjiga will have overtaken Hargeisa as the secondary node in the Addis-Berbera corridor before the end of this decade, if Ethiopia does not collapse. It is already nearly as large as Hargeisa in land area terms.

This war is God sent for Biixi, Waraabe and the Wadani leader(forgot the name) were on his throat before the conflict. Now they can't speak against him and his two year extension might turn into four.At least there’s a lot of ‘ghost’ security budget.

Looool if SL loses it done my boy without the eastern front to use as your shield against darood is no longer available the distance to hargesa becomes much closer I remember when you guys were boosting about garowe only being 70km well imthink insert doing the math cuz it ain't anywhere near that now idoorThis war is God sent for Biixi, Waraabe and the Wadani leader(forgot the name) were on his throat before the conflict. Now they can't speak against him and his two year extension might turn into four.
I actually believed Biixi loved Somaliland and was expecting him to be much more brutal and actually to deploy the heavy weaponry to level down Lascaanood. But it seems he is only interested in prolonging this conflict and making sure to label any opposition as "terrorists" and "qaran dumis". People with military background should never be allowed to become politicians they seriously lack diplomatic prowess, political cunning and long term vision. While good politicians see war as the last resort, to the generals it is the first and only one.
I would've paid massive bribes and made sure to label this as an inter Dhulbahante conflict and obviously done the necessary preparations (completely cut off Lascaanood) so that SL would be seen as the only reliable mediator.
On the other hand reer Lascaanood were expecting to be paid for their loyalty I seriously don't think they were expecting Biixi to deploy the army. But their miscalculation has resorted in the deaths of so many and it is only the beginning, reminds me of Ukraine and their retarded politicians used by the Americans to cripple the EU.
If SL wins
-No more need to engage in Sii Soco Soo Soco polics.
-Step closer to completely integrate Dhulbahante into SL project.
If reer Lascanod win
-More autonomy
-Integration into PL ports
-More funding from FGS.

Hehe I'm saying it how I see it. They are capable of more but Muse is unwilling.“I was expecting him to be much more brutal and actually to deploy the heavy weaponry to level down Lascaanood.”
@Rationale trust me he’s using every resource available to him he’s not capable of much don’t be fooled by idoor bravado, he’ll be lucky if he’s able to return to Hargeisa with the little weapons he does have.
Emir Deni brought the T55’s out from Gaalkacyo to the front for funtime. Muse wasted all his Soviet mortar rounds, now it’s time to bring tank fire to Burco let’s goHehe I'm saying it how I see it. They are capable of more but Muse is unwilling.
Not Deni, its Reer Mudug.Emir Deni brought the T55’s out from Gaalkacyo to the front for funtime. Muse wasted all his Soviet mortar rounds, now it’s time to bring tank fire to Burco let’s go
