The root cause of Somalia's new crisis is the 2020 political dispensation. The best way out is to address this issue. The govt must commit to no-extension and no-gerrymandering principles. The opposition must give the govt the space to govern. Both must respect the rule of law.

Reportedly, few men decided that candidates for Somalia's House & Senate must pay filing fee of $10, 000 & $20, 000 respectively. This unfair decision prevents most Somalis to participate. Ironically, the salary for the positions is about $3,700. This will encourage corruption.

Madaxdii Soomaalida (heer qaran iyo mid gobol) waxay joogaan Beljam si ay warbixin u siiyaan beesha caalamka. Mucaaradkii laga soo tegayna warqad dheer oo Af-Ingiriis ku qoran ayay u direen Beljam. Halkee shacabku uga jiraan hawshan? Goormay madaxdu shacabka u garnaqsan doonaa?

Waa ay sahlan tahay in xal laga gaaro qodobbada horyaal shirka Xamar. Waase haddii siyaasiyiintu ay kulligood aqbalaan in lagu tartamo kursi kasta oo meesha laga saaro qof wax boobaya oo ergadiisa wata iyo mid manxiis u ah. Madaxdu intaas kaliya ha aqbalaan, hana fuliyaan.

NISA’s tweet targeting @HarunMaruf shows a deeper problem. Somali govts did not bring the Agency’s outdated establishment act (Law 14 of 1970) & its practice with z spirit of the 3rd republic & its constitution. Z govt must constrain security institutions within z rule of law.

Mandate of #Somalia 's government ends today. It did not organize (s)election (direct/indirect) and it did not secure political agreement. The best way to resolve the political crises is that Pres. @M_Farmaajo and PM @MohamedHRoble must go back to Dhusamareb and negotiate a deal.

Thank you Dr. Maryan. You will be remembered as the only minister that voted against our government's bad decision. Hope that the Somali government will reverse its decision and give an apology to ONLF and Qalbi-dhagax.

Su'aal: Dowladda dhexe iyo maamul-goboleedyada kee baa la raacayaa? Jawaab: Midna. Marka hore waa in laga heshiiyo awoodaha ay kala leeyihiin, dastuurkana lagu caddeeyo. Dastuurkaas ayaa la raacayaa oo labadaba ka sarreynaya. Halkan ka dhageyso:

This is historic mistake. The leadership took the country into uncharted territory. President @M_Farmaajo , PM @MohamedHRoble and the leadership of House of People own the consequences. Let us hope that politicians understand the only way out of the crises is political agreement.

H.E @M_Farmaajo urges the Citizens to seize the historic chance to choose their destiny as the House of the People voted to return the elections mandate to the people. This followed after the failure of FMS members to support the implementation the initial Sep 17, 2020 Agreement.

As the first two years of the #Somalia government draw to a close, it appears to me that the “winner takes all” mindset that guided it may also be reaching its end. It would be surprising if realignments do not occur, with some members of the opposition joining the government and

Find President @M_Farmaajo 's statement on z election confusing. He calls for a timely election based on the constitution and the electoral law. Yet, the Commission said it cannot organize the election that the electoral law mandates on time. How? Think clarification is in order.

Participants on the higher education panel emphasize the importance of creating a ministry that is responsible for higher education and technology in Somalia. But there is also another view that suggests the Commission on higher education. What do you think?

Democracy, at times, produces demagogues. Countries that have legal infrastructure, strong institutions and tolerent political culture can deal with power-hungry politicians. Believe the USA will manage the challenges it is facing now. Worried for the fragile states in the Horn.
