I just want to say to Abgaal, the use of "Cali Naafto" example has nothing to do with your clan. It's strictly remarking on a very wll formed Somali example.
Cali Mahdi was a well respected businessman and a leader in the Manifesto Group that led peaceful attempts to bring down the Siad Barre government. Beyond that he was a Hawiye man and an Abgaal in a early civil war reality where armed Hawiye were in control of Mogadishu with Abgaal in particular forming the single largest sub-clan in Mogadishu.
Naturally, it was not surprising then when Cali Mahdi was elected leader in the first Somali reconciliation of 1991 in Djibouti.
As soon as he was chosen, he went to the podium and requested from the International community "NAAFTO IYO WALAX YAROO BADAR AH."
Afkii baa juuqda gabay, dadkii dhan jiq bay isku noqdeen!
Bal ka waran, this was in the heat of the civil war where the entire institutions of society, not just government, was in tatters. People were dying left and right. Disease, hunger, and massacres were in plain sight.
Cali Mahdi didn't call for peace, he didn't call for reconciliation, he didn't for the to war. He didn't ask the international community to support any of this.
He just asked for NAAFTO which he meant by "gasoline fuel." It would have at least been something if he even called it SHIDAAL, but he didn't and even if he requested "walax yaroo badar ah" (some food rations) it was an afterthought.
To this day no one can answer why he wanted "naafto." Did he want gas for USC teknikos to go after Darood and if yes, why did he think thr international community would provide that to him to wage tribal civil.
Regardless of why he said it, that was the beginning and end of Cali Mahdi.
Similarly, in the back drop of the ICJ court case about Kenya's attempts to steal our coastline and Kenya's active subversive role in Kismaayo/Jubbaland where Ahmed Madoobe is their direct puppet, look who showed up in Kismaayo today TO SIT NEXT TO SHEEKH SHARIIF AND HASSAN SHEEKH.
The same Kenyan politican who tabled a parliamentary motion to order Kenya to withdraw from legal settlement with Somalia but instead send the Kenyan armed forces to invade the contested area.
And he came to Kismaayo as an official Kenyan politician in direct breach of Somalia airspace (which doesn't mean anything since we don't have an airforce right now but diplomatically will mean A LOT marki finally laysku dhaco the day following the court ruling).
War jiraba cakaarahuu iman but you will soon say that a lot of people had their Cali Naafto moment today.
, nobody clapped for abdishakur infact people told nobody wanted the habar gedir guys there
and reject federalism/balkanisation in favour of national revival under a single strong ruler that fully controls the whole country
