That’s because a woman’s love and loyalty is tested when the man has nothing, while his is tested when he has everything.
I’m beginning to think I may have been naive to believe that it’s noble to marry a man that has nothing, stand by him through every challenge, support his ambitions and aspirations, help him live up to his potential, etc.
Maybe the women that are only interested in established guys were right all along. If your love, loyalty and contributions will mean nothing in a the bank account is big enough, what’s the point? Heartbreak and humiliation in old age?
Absolutely depressing.
And this happens a lot more often than people are willing to admit.
People mocking Jensen Huang’s wife for her looks are missing the point.
Lori met Jensen when he was a broke engineering student, married him before NVIDIA even existed, and stood by him for 40 years as he built his empire.
She was faithful and loyal. Even if the mistress was more attractive, Jensen was a scumbag for betraying his wife and kids.
All of Oromia isn't Somali, but many cities are inaccurately in Oromia borders when they ARE Somali , like Moyaale . Native Somalis will not be forced out of their homes . Somalis need to treat Oromo the way Oromo treat Somalis . Best way to would ensure no conflict .
What happened to the Somali cadres who spent the last two weeks dancing, celebrating& declaring all of Oromia theirs? Can someone enlighten us? What finally shut their filthy mouths? I pray this conflict ends, but their silence suggests the chickens may be coming home to roost…

Many analysts have attempted to portray the conflict in #Moyale as another episode of the ethnic and territorial conflicts that have plagued the modern Yugoslavia of #Africa - Ethiopia.
Such conclusions overlooks the wider geopolitical significance of what is unfolding.
As Abiy Ahmed’s regime pursues access to the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden via #Eritrea or #Awdal to expand Ethiopia’s strategic influence across the Horn of Africa, Somali analysts should give more closer scrutiny to the struggle for control of transport corridors and border regions.
We all know, it is a familiar feature of Ethiopian politics for federal authorities using proxy regional admins to pursue overlapping interests through the country’s ethnic federal system.
Regional power struggles cannot always be understood in isolation from the strategic calculations of the central government.

The historic Somali city has experienced successive waves of ethnic violence since 2018 involving Oromo and Somali communities.
Its location on the Addis Ababa–Djibouti transport corridor, including the railway connecting Ethiopia to its principal maritime gateway.
The question is not simply who controls a particular administrative boundary.
It is also who exercises political influence over strategically important territory & infrastructure.

Moyale is situated on the Ethiopian–Kenyan border. It occupies a critical position along the Lamu Port–South Sudan–Ethiopia Transport Corridor (#LAPSSET) which is intended to connect Ethiopia with #Kenya’s coast.
The corridor offers Ethiopia an alternative route to the sea and carries significant economic and strategic implications.
Against this backdrop, the recurring conflicts along Somali–Oromo borderlands should not be dismissed as merely ethnic disputes. Unresolved territorial claims & competition over resources are already documented drivers of violence pushed by Addis Ababa. #Tigray is an example!
These dispute intersect with wider geopolitical ambitions.
The broader question is whether local and regional struggles for territorial control are becoming entangled with Ethiopia’s ambitions to secure strategic corridors and expand its regional influence.
For Somalis, the implications extend beyond Moyale.
The Horn of Africa is increasingly becoming a contest over ports, transport corridors, territory and regional influence. Somalis cannot afford to overlook the strategic implications of these developments.
What appears to be a local conflict today could have consequences far beyond the immediate battlefield tomorrow.
Moyale is in Galbeed and we do , you think they see a difference between Somalis ?? This distinction is on our side. Both are claiming Somaliland territory and it foolishly only sees one as the danger it is. Oromo are wolves .
We in Somaliland have no stake in the Moyale conflict between Somalians and Oromos. That is their fight, not ours.
But let it be clear, neither Somalians nor Oromos have any claim to Somaliland or its territory!

One major mistake made by the pro-Palestinian community was allowing the debate over antisemitism to take centre stage.
We, as Palestinians, became a passive voice in our own struggle. Palestinians identified the true nature of what is happening in Palestine long ago: it is a settler-colonial project. The Zionist movement used the persecution of Jews in Europe to justify its claims to Palestinian land.
We do not have to be apologetic for something we had nothing to do with.

In conclusion:
Many in Somaliland, particularly within the majority clan of Isaaq, are blinded by appeals to "inclusivity".
A genuinely inclusive Somaliland is vital, but inclusivity does not mean leaving the back door open to repeat offenders. Doing so leaves the nation permanently compromised.
What stops them flipping the moment the wind changes again?

Your strenght & power as a country does not come from your usefulness to other states.
It comes from your government’s internal strenght, discipline, competency & capability and their ability to project political and military strength internationally, which is lacking & missing.
هذه أبرز الأسباب التي تجعل الاعتراف بجمهورية صوماليلاند قضية ذات أهمية استراتيجية للدول العربية
أولًا، أمن البحر الأحمر وباب المندب.
هذا الممر ليس قضية يمنية أو إفريقية فقط، بل هو شريان اقتصادي وأمني للعالم العربي وأي اضطراب فيه ينعكس مباشرة على مصر ودول الخليج والموانئ العربية والتجارة العالمية ويمكن لصوماليلاند، بموقعها الاستراتيجي واستقرارها الأمني، أن تصبح جزءًا من منظومة إقليمية لحماية الملاحة ومكافحة القرصنة والتهريب والجريمة المنظمة.
ثانيًا، تحتاج الدول العربية إلى شركاء مستقرين على الضفة الإفريقية المقابلة لشبه الجزيرة العربية والاعتراف بصوماليلاند يمكن أن يوفر إطارًا سياسيًا وقانونيًا أوضح للتعاون في أمن السواحل، وتبادل المعلومات، وحماية الممرات البحرية.
ثالثًا، حماية التجارة العربية.
استقرار خليج عدن وباب المندب ليس رفاهية اقتصادية، بل ضرورة. فكل تهديد للملاحة يعني ارتفاع تكاليف الشحن والتأمين، وتعطيل التجارة، وتحويل السفن بعيدًا عن البحر الأحمر ومن مصلحة الدول العربية وجود بيئة مستقرة وصديقة على أحد أهم خطوط التجارة البحرية في العالم.
رابعًا، الفرص الاستثمارية والاقتصادية.
تمتلك الدول العربية، وخاصة دول الخليج، خبرات ورؤوس أموال ضخمة في الموانئ والنقل والطاقة والخدمات اللوجستية والزراعة والثروة الحيوانية ويمكن لصوماليلاند أن تكون بوابة اقتصادية تربط الخليج بأسواق شرق إفريقيا والدول الحبيسة في المنطقة، وفي مقدمتها إثيوبيا.
خامسًا، مواجهة التهديدات العابرة للحدود.
الإرهاب، والتهريب، والاتجار بالبشر، والجريمة المنظمة، ونقل الأسلحة، ليست مشاكل محلية إنها تهديدات تمتد آثارها إلى البحر الأحمر والخليج العربي ولذلك فإن دعم المؤسسات الأمنية المستقرة في المنطقة وربطها بشبكات التعاون الإقليمي والدولي يمثل مصلحة مباشرة للأمن العربي.
سادسًا، تعزيز الدور العربي في القرن الإفريقي.
العالم العربي يمتلك روابط تاريخية وجغرافية وتجارية عميقة مع القرن الإفريقي وفي ظل التنافس الدولي المتزايد على المنطقة، من الخطأ أن تترك الدول العربية مستقبل الضفة المقابلة للبحر الأحمر لقوى خارجية وحدها إن بناء شراكات سياسية واقتصادية وأمنية مع صوماليلاند يمكن أن يمنح العرب حضورًا أكبر في صياغة مستقبل المنطقة.
والأهم من ذلك أن الاعتراف بصوماليلاند لا يعني بالضرورة العداء للصومال أو الدعوة إلى الصراع. بل يمكن أن يكون جزءًا من رؤية سياسية تقوم على الحوار والاستقرار وترتيب العلاقات بصورة أكثر وضوحًا، بما يخدم أمن المنطقة ومصالح شعوبها.

Let the Hudson Institute performance be a lesson that is the legacy of electing people based on clan affiliation rather than credentials and competence.
And before I’m attacked for saying this, we are all, to a large extent, guilty of perpetuating this practice.

48 hours after the event, the host himself says: “The Somalilanders have not been able to consistently make the case for why recognition is necessary.”
He is absolutely right, and that makes what happened at this event even more damning.
No amount of giggling like someone on nitrous oxide (laughing gas), nor standing there to effectively testify on behalf of Somalia, can disguise what was a complete tragedy for Somaliland’s case.
@Abdirahmanirro somehow knows exactly what to say when it benefits Somalia, yet appears completely incapable of conveying the most basic and compelling case for Somaliland when they are actually given an international platform.
Somaliland cannot continue putting its international case in the hands of incompetent clowns who seem to know precisely how to advance Somalia’s narrative, while acting brain-dead when it comes to defending Somaliland.

And then, cheat on her with your coworker who chose her career over staying at home. The cruelest joke is demanding a woman sacrifice her ambitions for your family, only to betray her after she gives you exactly what you asked for.

People who think the Turkey-Saudi-Pakistan alliance is about opposing Israel are naive . This is about opposing Iran. This is Zionist Turkey giving their Iranian allies the finger to protect Saudi oil and Israel.

Somaliland’s “leaders” are content with eating, pilfering and stealing a meagre 450 million dollar budget in Hargeisa, and have reduced the potentially great country of Somaliland to a city state. Only a cultural-political revolution can remove the current old guys (the mafia) & their idological children.
