It seems the crows are circling over the heads of Inna Illey, a man who thought he was invincible for a long time now feels cornered from all sides.
He was in a political battle with the Ethiopian federal government for sometime but at least had the backing of the Tigre generals in Harar whom they shared the taxes and spoils collected from the people.

Now the Tigray generals have also abandoned him, the Ethiopian secret services do not trust him and feel he has accumulated too much power, and now he's been called to Addis along with 11 executive members of the Kilil5 administration. 7 of them are calling for him to be sacked.

Watch this space for development.

So they will replace one quisling Somali for another.....nothing to see here.

Him firing his deputy opened the floodgates but insha allah halyeey ina Ileey will come out of this test stronger

He had to sack his 2 deputies both had ties to onlf.

He fired the two jidwaaq and Ciise deputies?

My sources tell me he stays but with few strings attached. Watch his demeanor and, more importantly, actions in the next several weeks. He will continue to serve tea to IOG, HMD and rest of Tigray cadre.

The Harar Generals are gunning for Ilay so we'll see where it goes but there is strong support from Addis Ababa for his replacement, Doqon Ilay should run now. In a few years he will be seeking asylum in New Zealand like former Kilil head Lugbuur claiming political refugee status.

War kuwii is waalayay edeb baa lo yeelay, waxaana lagu amray inay ina iley ku daba faylaan hadii kale almbaqaa sugaysa.

Sida wararku ku socdaan Ina Iley looks set to stay until 2015 so-called elections.
