Haddii ay run tahay warqadda baraha bulshada wareegaysa ee uu RW hore ku codsaday inuu xilka ku wareejiyo RW cusub “si waafaqsan Dastuurka JFS, shuruucda dalka iyo dhaqanka dawladnimo;” Haddii ay dhab tahay in RW hore loo diiday inuu xilka ku wareejiyo RW Rooble; Muwaadin Xasan Khayre xilka ha ku wareejiyo ciddii uu markii horeba u hayay: shacabka Soomaaliyeed. Laba dariiq ayuu u mari karaa xil wareejinta: 1) Nuqul qoraal ah ha u gudbiyo Guddoonka Golaha Shacanka, Guddonka Aqalka Sare, iyo Madaxwaynayaasha Dawlad Goboleedyada. Dabeedna warbaahinta haka caddeeyo inuu sidaa sameeyay. 2) Haddii (1) laga hor istaago, waa inuu xil wareejinta ku daabacaa Internetka  warbaahintana la wadaagaa, isagoo madoobaynaya ama ka saarayaa macluumaadka xasaasiga ah. Muwaadin Khaire siduu sheegay wuxuu u sharraxan yahay xilka MADAXWAYNAH JFS.

Mohamed Roble, Newly appointed Prime Minister The Prime Minister appointed by Somalia’s President yesterday needs and deserves the prayers and goodwill of all Somalis as well as Somalia’s true allies and friends. The circumstances and timing that define and inform his appointment are far from being ideal or opportune. The country is deeply divided and unstable. The Provisional Constitution (PC) is in disarray and highly contested. The state and its federal institutions are fragile and extremely vulnerable to infiltration, destabilization, and even takeover by internal usurpers and/or external predators. Politics is toxic and in the throes of a cutthroat zero-sum game. Corruption is endemic and rife.   The government – executive, legislative, and judiciary – is under the stewardship of leaders unfettered by law, morals, patriotic duty, tradition, or decency. And the country is afflicted with a corrosive and delirious electoral madness. This means the Prime Minister designate, Mo...

  By Hassan Keynan 9 September 2020 marks a critical milestone in modern Ethiopian politics. For months Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has used and manipulated both chambers of the Parliament, the judiciary, and the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) to warn Tigray against going ahead with its planned elections. Addis Ababa insisted that any elections held in Tigray would be illegal and unconstitutional, and therefore null and void. The Federal Government even made it clear that it would not hesitate to blockade Tigray and impose severe punitive measures on it.   However, on the morning of 9 September 2020 Tigray finally called PM Abiy Ahmed’s bluff, keeping the promise to hold elections in defiance of the threats and ultimatums emanating from the executive and legislative branches of Federal Government. Reports from Tigray indicate the polls for the 190-seat regional parliament were held in an environment that was peaceful, orderly, and relatively COVID-19-safe. Close t...
