Yeah the regional governor of Gedo is Raxanweyne, the mayor of Beled-Xaawo is Raxanweyne, the mayor of Doolow is Raxanweyne, the mayor of Luuq is Raxanweyne, the mayor of Garbaaharey is Raxanweyn, the mayor of Ceelwaaq is Raxanweyn. All the government troops are raxanweyne including the generals and cols.Armaan wrote:^Wouldn't it explain why they couldn't remove alshabab on their own.
Because they are thousands of Marehan shabab, dumbass.Armaan wrote:I didn't ask for your irrelvent rants, just answer the question why couldn't they remove shabab on their own ?
Shabaab did something no Somali movement had done so swiftly and successfully in history. They allied clans through their doctrine and managed to turn brothers against each other.

Those guys at the height of power were a superpower among somalis because of their multiclan fighting force till they focked up with their draconian rule. No single clan can defeat such a force with also having members of their clan representing shabaab.
Yeah bro, its a concern. imagine what they could have done different with this powerMarques wrote:Shabaab did something no Somali movement had done so swiftly and successfully in history.

I agree, however shabab had myriad D&M enlisted than any other clan, my point in this discussion is to state what a few people neglect, The dynamics in Gedo is different than most regions, it’s one of the largest concentration ratio of D&M outside of Bay, Bakool, parts of S/hoose and both Jubbas. That’s why it’s hard for these regions to be free from shabab, it is home to a lot of D&M who are quite resilient. Case and point whenever AU troops leave shabab comes back in a heart beat. I await the day we can manage with our own xoog and not that of AU.quark wrote:Bro, all the areas they lost i believe if i am not mistaken was captured with the help of AU/Ethiopian troops.

1. The SH/hoose section of D&M are the farmers only. The D&M of Bay and Bakool and Jubbooyinka are both farmers and pastoralists. As somalis say, the male camels of Baydhabo can't mate with the she camels of the gobolada dhexe and north, because of their size difference.Murax wrote:Armaan wrote:I agree, however shabab had myriad D&M enlisted than any other clan, my point in this discussion is to state what a few people neglect, The dynamics in Gedo is different than most regions, it’s one of the largest concentration ratio of D&M outside of Bay, Bakool, parts of S/hoose and both Jubbas.

I hate to engage in qablaayad these days but what I'm about to say is D&M in Gedo are idps, refugees. D&M unlike Darood, Hawiye are not pastoralists but farmers and when the droughts hit and the crops fail they don't have lifestock to lean on so they move. In Gedo they have opened permenant camps in Doolow, B Xaawo, etc. and I'm all for them being welcomed but it will have no affect on the administrations of the town. Politically Gedo is and always will be Marehan yet anybody is welcome to live there. As for the 'geography' of Gedo being different and thats why Baardheere has not been able to be captured that is absolute bullshid. My Abtiyaal are from Baardheere and Baardheere has always been a Itixaad hotbed. 2ndly, the enviroment in Baardheere is a jungle and its very easy for gurreilla fighters to hide. I repeat again the D&M in Gedo are ones that fled Bay/Bakool due to the famine, and it is extremely dumb with You to try to use this to score political points. If anything the Marehans in Qansaxdheer, Bay should be asking for representation but they don't.
I support D&M in Bay/Bakool and maybe even Sh Hoose under the right circumstances. Gedo, M Jubba, L Jubba they have no business as far as administering it which is what the President, Speaker have made clear to them.
