I used to be confused why so many Damul Jadiid top people were backing Farmaajo after falling out with HSM, until Sahal mentioned they are from the same group, this is becoming more and more clear.
I had personal encounters with some of their member particularly Odawaa, his relatives and those in Guleed inner circles. These people are nothing like the Ahla Sheikh now re-branded Daljir group, their politics and games are another level.
I saw how they beat the Ethiopian & Turkish candidates for Galmudug that had big money behind them, and was following it in a very detailed fashion, it was incredible stuff, made a lengthy post about it before.
During HSM first year reign he fell out with the Ethiopian's because Damul Jadiid plan was NO FEDERALISM, after J/land South/West were created without his input, while he was busy infighting with staff for 2 years, he woke up with Galmudug/Hiirshabelle and became allies with Ethiopia after several threats from them (can't beat them, you join them) in the end he turned from being enemy number 1, were they used federal states against him, to their best friends, they have a way of convincing you they are on your side like no other group.
The difference between HSM and Farmaajo is very little, strategy wise they are of the same cloth, Farmaajo is more in your face, were as HSM takes the snake cloak-smile-dagger approach much more effective.
Farmaajo has a huge populism wave which HSM never had, the environment is also a lot better for Farmaajo then it was for HSM, Damul Jadiid had infighting during his reign were as currently there is no infighting with Damul Jadiid currently.
The biggest difference between both is that Farmaajo has a solid plan he had significant time to craft, HSM really didn't and was shooting from the hip, hence the successive PM post errors all none DJ that were working against him, were as Farmaajo did the right thing straight away.
Either way I heard, Farmaajo got the DJ, Daljir and other influential groups together in a private secret meeting to create a united front, he presents himself as neutral, and because little over 100 MP's are DJ that voted for HSM, it was agreed a DJ will take the PM post. Hence the record number of parliament approval.
This is a smart strategy, I want them all to work together for the betterment of the country, a divided house will always be in ruins, I do not give a fuck about any groups at this point as long as they all work together to make this country great again, we were on the cusp of being the first African country colonised by another African country that had historically been a bitter enemy, you can't go lower then this
