  1. For a man of his age he should have been the father of the nation instead of been the one who wants to dismantle it. shame on you siiranyo history will remember you for all the wrong reason.

  2. Now that Xirsi is denying his lies it is time for all to listen to his initial Caano Riyood folklore anecdote and latest denials of having targeted Eroh. Here it is for all to laugh at the lies:


    How low could one stoop to deny his own words. This is Siilaanyo's closest confidant. Thank goodness things have cooled down for now but we were in the cusp of civil unrest. Does our government think the security and stability of Somaliland is in its hands having displayed utter arrogance in governing the country. This is not how to run a country. Jailing traditional leaders of Talo iyo Tawfiiq only to shower them later with apology and compensation for their ill conceived treatment would not result in having them on your side at any cost but it will only expose the government's hypocrisy and make the situation far more worse.
