Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya [& Marehan] officially start the Borderlands Project.

[Gubbet]

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said Kenya is committed to supporting the Borderlands peace project.

Speaking on Thursday in Mandera during the launch of the Borderlands Project, Gachagua said the initiative was timely and would receive full backing from Kenya.

The project is being implemented by the three countries in collaboration with the British government.

Outgoing British High Commissioner Jane Marriott said Britain will continue to support the Borderlands Project and programmes geared towards long-lasting peace and development in the region.

"The three countries do not just share a common border but the communities living here share a common history and destiny and face common challenges," the envoy said.

"There is so much positive shared by the communities that this project will help to expand."

The DP was joined by Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, Somalia Internal Security Minister Mohamed Sheikh Ali, Ethiopia Peace Minister Binalf Andualem and Jubaland Deputy President Mohamud Sayid Aden.

The Mandera Triangle will become the Free Trade Zone engine of East Africa, inshallah.

This is a response I gave Sahal last november when he became obsessed with Mahad Salaad/HSM "punishing" Gedo for his ciil.

Literally everything I said was completely the case.

Noer,

Hamza wanted to come to Gedo on his way back from Jigjiga and he tried to use Doodisho guy, "no" baa af cad lagu yidhi and don't try us unless you want a public humiliation.

Gedo has weapons, has money right now, and has our allies the ENDF.

It is a separate country to HSM government. Gedo is to HSM what Kismaayo was under KDF.

HSM is not stupid. He can't effect any change in Gedo or really Jubba at all and public asking for a show down is a losing proposition so I do not imagine it would even be in his interest to remark.

Gedo right now built a university in Beled-Xaawo and is busy building a road between Luuq to Dollow to Beled-Xaawo. Gedo is also the only region in Somalia heavily being invested in by the UN and.international donors as their relief center dealing with the drought and potential famine declaration. They are scaling up infrastructure particularly in Dollow to Luuq to Garbahaareey. People don't understand that Xalane might be where the ambassadors sit, but Dollow is where their staff are based. Dollow is today the most modern city in Somalia. When I was there even regular dirt paths in alleys were cobblestone and and the entire town is now dhagax built by Somalia's international partners as their permanent base in Somalia and they are not even hiding like in Mogadishu. Shaax bay banaanka ku cabayaan. Beled-Xaawo is a huge target of the donors being the link in Somalia to the Mandera Triangle and connecting relief operations from southern Ethiopia, northern Kenya, and Somalia's single biggest relief center @ Dollow. Just go to Google Maps and take a look at Dollow...the UN relief center foundation is 4X bigger than Dollow town and it is basically a town with rhe best urban planning Somalia has ever seen.

Ahmed Madoobe iyo waali politics qof Gedo joogo oo u jeedo majirto. Everybody is hustling trying to take a qandaraas as the local deegaan where the donors are putting their biggest investment into Somalia.

Every month, people still obsessed with Farmaajo remember Gedo and want her to be punished for their vengeance, but Gedo is quiet for a reason.

This is the most stabilized it has been politically and militarily since civil war started in 1991 and everyone there is busy bidding or putting together a bid for the qandaraas explosion as the main relief center of the donors in Somalia.

And we have the ENDF to make sure local spoilers bought by Mogadishu don't even raise their head unless they want it cut off.

Heh, you can see the newly built Dollow Referral Hospital in the center of town.

Dollow is a shadow 2nd capital of Somalia. It is the International Community's "operations" base. Every single embassy in Somalia has a "representative" office in Dollow and it is the defacto international humanitarian headquarters of Somalia. UNHCR, WFP, Red Cross,WHO all have their principal operation and logistics teams based in Dollow.

Amazing news. Ogaden border districts such as Ras Kamboni, Kulbiyow, Liboi, Dhobley, Diif & Ceelwaaq will benefit greatly from this open border policy

I would say to myself you were 'joking'/'taking the piss" except you have consistently also responded to Marehan Buuro issues with "the Ogaden cities of Fadhigaradle and Laasacaano"---so no I don't think it is a joke.


There is 'Unukaaism' which, although self-absorbed and selfish, is a state of feeling over the person's property---so an ethical issue not a legal infraction;...


...and then there is you 'green-eyed' over other people's property, and therefore crookedly contemptible, bereft of integrity and so an ethical issue as well as with legal implications since this covetousness is about desire for unlawful gain.

If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, I am afraid the second time it comes across me I must assume it is a duck.

It is the only thing you need to know about what Uhuru government's end last year means for Somalia, Jubbaland, Gedo, and even Beled Xaawo (remember the wall Uhuru was trying to build over 4 years).
