Wallahi I stopped disagreeing or even questioning Voltage when everything he predicted came true.
1. He said the nomination of Finish was to handle Kaaraan and he would be the the best loyalist to Farmaajo, short of Lafta Gareen. Finish has had Kaaran with an iron grip.
They said Finish the USC WARLORD? We got our man in!
2. He said Qoorqoor and even CIID would become Pres and Vice President of Galmudug and they would be the ones to bring central Somalia to heel for Farmaajo.
They said Odawa or Mahad Salaad Galmudug? Get real! Then they said Qoorqoor the USC GAANDHERI? We got our man in!
3. He said Madoobe would not be allowed an inch of influence in Gedo and even that Farmaajo was prepared to go to war.
They said here comes Kenya to INVADE Garbahaarey and make Janan governor of Gedo. We got our man in!
4. He said February 12 nothing would change the status quo and if MM tried a stunt, it would be the end of their actual influence in Somalia.
They said we are going to OVERTHROW Farmaajo on 12 am the night before the 12.
5. He said Farmaajo will never sign Dhusamareb agreement ans give up Gedo over his dead body. Sure enough, Farmaajo took out Kheyre in the fastest vote in parliamentary history when he tried.
They said Farmaajo has been overwhelmed and Gedo was gone. The Donors would remove him from Gedo.
6. ON THE DAY OF THE EXTENSION VOTE Voltage said it is a ruse to get Deni and Madoobe to be pressured to sign the September Agreement and Farmaajo would get that soon. Sure enough after a year of hold up by Deni and Madoobe, in less than a month September Agreement was signed and completed.
They said the world is going to sanction Farmaajo! He is finally gone!
7. Voltage then said BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF EXTENSION DEBATE that elections will start in 3 months by Summer. Elections did start.
They said what elections, we are kicking put this dictator who wants Extension? No one os signing any agreement with him.
8. Voltage then said the election is entirely in the control of Federal States and MM will realize how badly they misunderstood the process and how wrong they were to support Deni and Madoobe empowering FMS Presidents not one whose loyalty they have.
They said MM has the "money" and buying all the MPs.
9. Voltage said even when CBB were anti-Rooble, Farmaajo learned from the September Agreement problems and realized he needed GOOD COP/BAD COP inside of Government. Everytime Farmaajo plays "bad cop," Rooble comes in to play "Good Cop" process wise and voila Farmaajo gets everything he wanted from the opposition.
They are at Rooble will dethrone Farmaajo and take command of "amni" which is so asinine and unconstit it is not even part of discussion even if PM and President were really against each other.
10. Finally, Voltage said the mistake Deni did with Juriile will be his biggest undoing. He attacked not Juriile, not even Dashiishle, but he attacked the ELITE CONTRACT that made Puntland safe. Since then Deni lost the elders including his King who were activated by the dictatorship replacing the Elite Contract, he was defeated in military battle by his own Osman Mohamud cousin in Boosaaso of all places who was felt similarly, his election team leaders all resigned citing all kinds of charges, and militias will start rising up like as happening in this topic.
They said Deni is SUPREME and Puntland is not like the "dirty south."
Voltage is out of every single person and article or analysis that I have read in this process, the one person who has shown excellent and really unrivaled instinct and understanding of Somalia's political process.
I do not argue with him anymore. I listen to him.
