ANALYSIS: The online hybrid war against the SFG & Somalia’s nascent democracy

Post by ReturnOfMariixmaan »

Fascinating thread that explains the information war that’s been going since February 18th. It’s an all out war on our nascent democracy.

So Sharkie is part of why "they" got hold of the internafional and mainstream media as he says.

I look at this piece and when I finished, I was frowning just like I was frowning at the end of one of his other major posts; the generational one or something.

Sharkie has a problem that almost always those on our side speaking loudly almost always seem to have; a "perception" problem.

Do you know why I say that Saddam?

I call it a perception problem because I know why they do it---they only SEE Somalis and are only speaking to them.

Meanwhile they are on an international platform and are not publicly engaging them.

How do I know?

Not a single shred of evidence was presented, 0 corroboration, no half-baked attempt to substantiate anything.

The only people who want to hear your account without a witness are your parents or the choir---

and he is preaching to them.

Meanwhile, an entire opportunity to aid your cause is squandered as everyone else moves on without paying attention.

I see. I understand your point. He’s speaking to the local base not everybody else.

He just forfeited an opportunity. That's why they have the media legitimacy.

He is basically contributing to what he is describing as a problem.

Remembe my rule #1 for effective communication?

If something is not "specifically" important to making the point; leave it out. There are no "neutral" parts of effective communication; what isn't specifically important to making the point is taking awsy from it.

It's twin is rule #2:

Make that same point the same way, everywhere and everytime. Any time you don't, you have forfeited an opportunity.

Or did you think when I do stuff like explain Guri and Galti even in response to Murax's question in the following topic, I was doing it to teach Saddam Mariixmaan and Murax what the terms mean?

Murax wrote: Sat Apr 24, 2021 3:47 pm That one map Gubbet posted, Marehan are not just in Ethiopia but deep into it, furthest west of the Somalis in western Ethiopia :shock:
Indeed---that's where we were before we migrated down the Cherer border from Harar and came to occupy the vast Shilaabo prairie

And before it we were even further west, northwest of Harar exactly at today's Afar border.

Image


After we moved down Cherer from the declining Harar Emirate---at around today's Fiq District, but certainly between Khelaafo and Ime, the Marehan divided into two; one going east to explore Himan (today's Mudug) and one going south to explore Liban (today's upper Jubba Valley).

Image

The southern group, who came to be known as Guri or Pioneers, were led by Marehan/Hassan Garshireedle section.

The eastern group, who came to be known as Galti or Settlers were led by Marehan/Isaaq Garshireedle section,

Image

Guri and Galti reflect the initial southern group made the better choice as the Eastern group has continued to send successive streams secondary migrants after the trail of the southern group even to this present day.

After having crossed the Shabelle between Ime and Khelaafo, the Marehan/Guri were first in Nageyle before they were in Lugh.

Image

Of course, however, they would branch down the Jubba/Ganane River where Lugh would famously become the center of the Marehan settlement that begin with the long migration from Harar.

Image
No obviously not; anybody who ever reads that post no matter their level of experience with that subject---they will be without any choice but to effectively understand me---and I make sure of that by making my point the same way, the same how, whether it is Murax and Saddam facilitating the opportunity or someone else.

And finally, I linked the topic to further increase the effectiveness of that original topic.

Now how about effective public engagement again :tocry:
