THE THREE BISCUITEERS: CRACKING THE RIDDLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF INVERSION

Cracking the riddle of the Republic of Inversion, 3rd Republic under Hassan Sh. Mohamud, requires understanding the nature, configuration and modus operandi of the Three Biscuiteers: The Prosperity President (PP), Hassan Sh. Mohamud. The Prime Minister (PM), Farah Abdikadir. And the Prime Mamluk, Hamza A. Barre. The loyalty, camaraderie, and deep connection among the trio - although asymmetrical - is remarkably resilient and superbly efficient.  HE Hassan Mohamud is seen by many Somalis as a good President. He comes across as a good man, and for many, a fatherly figure. He always flushes his signature smile, which earned him the nick-name "Qoslaaye" the laughing one. He is charismatic, photogenic, shrewd, and has done well in terms of what he has achieved. Words and slogans come to him effortlessly, and deploys them with great ease.  However, behind the smile lurks a darker side.

NECESSITY AND DUTY MAY COMPEL PUNTLAND STATE TO ASSUME AN OFFICIAL ROLE IN FOREIGN POLICY

The state-based global order faces a category 5 geopolitical-security hurricane which poses a compendium of threats not seen since the end of World War Two. There’s a mad scramble across the world. Every country is on a survival mode, first to weather the catastrophe relatively intact, and second to ensure that it continues to exist and remain sovereign should the entire edifice of the international system collapse and until a new global order takes shape.  Countries vary greatly, but what matters is how every nation optimally and effectively mobilizes and leverages the assets and capabilities at its disposal.
