and here i was thinking that he odawaa resigned because his and i quote "clan demanded it"

it seems people are still in the mindset of hassan sheikh and sharifs days of weak corrupt administration which promoted people based on corruption. they are bewildered and dumbfounded when General Odawaa did not side with corrupt clan elders.
the whole reason as to why General Odawaa was chosen (new generation) is to remove corruption and clan loyalties from the Somali national army.
the Army of today is not the army of 2016. same way the prime minister of today is not the prime minister of 2016, which is again why they are confused about the working relationship between Farmaajo and Kheyre, they are asking themselves how did they last this long together and why have they not clashed. the new film now is that kheyre will run as a candidate in 2021.
