I Dream of Becoming A King (A Poem)

With a Mamluk, dancing On the horns of a terrible dilemma.  I dream of becoming the King  In the country of fickle clans.  But fealty to a king and queen I know Is a proposition light years away  From the Republic of feud.  But I must not give up the dream. I failed once But twice I shall not. With a Mamluk on guard and company In good order and secure I shall move heaven and earth  Toil long and hard  At home and abroad Till the seasons align For the desert flower to bloom And a king is born And the king is me Dancing with a Mamluk. © 2025 Hassan Keynan

STOP THE ORGY OF SLAUGHTER IN ETHIOPIA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

It’s time for responsible African Heads of State and Government to take the nihilistic #OPDO cabal in Ethiopia and its collaborators to the International Court of Justice, #ICJ, for the war crimes perpetrated with impunity.  If Africans have any respect for Ethiopia, they ought to be clear eyed about the orgy of extermination ravaging this ancient and troubled dominion. Have African leaders no eyes and ears? Have they no shame? Entire regions/nations are being marked for total extermination not only of humans but also of livestock, farms, and the whole environment.  Ethiopia hasn’t been known for Freedom, durable peace, or social harmony. Tyranny has had deeper and deadlier roots. But it’s different this time, even by the horrendous standards of the empire of liquidation. A new species of tyranny is born, powered by hate and demonic rage, and hell-bent on destroying everything, desecrating everything. Ethiopia blossoms in gore. Genocide is already evident according to informed...

IS IT OROMIA OR ETHIOPIA OUT TO INVADE SOMALIA AND ANNEX SOMALI PORTS?

And the temptation to scramble for an immediate, gut-level response or scream is real, even irresistible.  However, it’s equally important to be clear-eyed about who are the culprits behind the provocations and the real intentions and motivations stirring them. A dispassionate, clinical diagnosis and forensic investigation and a calibrated strategic response is imperative. My unsolicited advice to the FGS and free Somalis is  1) Do not panic. Don’t rush to take a bait.  2) Ethiopia is no more. Tigray, Amhara anda much of Oromia are ravaged by war, insurgences, famine, and mass slaughter. Genocide looms large.  3) Strategize and quietly mobilize to isolate and expose the paranoid and genocidally inclined cabal of chauvanists and war criminals for who truly they are. Don’t throw them a life line by gracing them with sovereign agency and legitimate authority.  ...
