Jubaland

Well, the taxpayers of Maine, through this scam, through the Somali community, diaspora community in, in Lewiston, they are literally f- funding in many ways the civil war that is going on in southern Somalia.

Uh, there's a place called Jubaland.

Most Americans have never heard of it.

Jubaland is a semi-autonomous zone in southern Somalia.

The citizens of Jubaland largely have made their way to, at least the important ones, have made their way to Lewiston, Maine, where they scam the public treasury via mostly Medicare fraud, and the money then is sent back to buy arms and weapons and fight a war in Somalia.

I mean, this is madness, right? It's madness, and it's something that Maine, by the way, can't afford.

In the case of, of Minnesota, i- it's awful, but Minnesota is a big state, so at least the scam to some degree can be financially absorbed.

Waxaa loo soo, soo, soo dhiraa dhihi cidsaa sameyn karto.

Lakiin halkaas uu ka bilaabay maamulkii Jubbaland buu ka dhagaa laba markii hore.

Markii dambe oo taase ay socotay kuwii kale oo isdhaaf xacaysiiyaas ay sawirkeegi yahay.

Laakiin su'aal galinta mashruuca dawlad iska iyo dastuurka orti su'aasha maalintaas ay gash.

Waxay noo heydhiyeen la tuuro.

Gelmadug baa ku xigtay, Koonfur Galbeed baa ku xigtay.

Waxa ay ku xigtay Jubbaland oo والله lag ligoh.

Waagaas dadka isbeddelkaas ka shaqeynaya waxay ku dooday shireen waxaana waa beer- Marka shan sano hore waa geed qaadayna dadka beeraleedaaba yaqaana.

On the one hand, a sort of sovereigntist camp, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Mogadishu, SAF.

all of them set against what some now call an axis of secessionists, right? The UAE and Israel backing sub-state actors from the RSF to Somaliland to Puntland and Jubaland.

Is this a useful way to read the map of that region? And in some sense, does it flatten the agency of Horn actors themselves and the older sort of local roots of these disputes?

Well, I tend to find overarching narratives like that.

The federal government, led by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is aggressively pushing an electoral agenda.

Conversely, the Future Council Opposition coalition, which includes Puntland and Jubaland, is demanding an international political settlement.

Crucially, they are calling for the restoration of arms embargoes.

They want to limit the federal government's ability to import weapons.

Somalia too faces the twin pressures of al-Shabaab.

and political fragmentation, with a rising tide of armed hostilities between the centralising Turkish-backed Mogadishu administration and arrayed peripheral actors, including the Emirati-backed Puntland and Jubaland that increasingly look to foreign patrons rather than Mogadishu for security and economic opportunity.

The political settlements that historically anchored these states are fracturing.

With the economic and humanitarian crises gripping each of these countries, the splintering of domestic political settlements, and the proliferation and promise of Middle Eastern cash, one traditional pathway to peace, as seen in the CPA, of bringing armed actors into the state with the offer of power and revenue is becoming increasingly impossible to deliver.

Marka tan la sugaayo taas ay ahayd ayadeena ilaa hadda si fiican eh uma muuqato maradii la yiri heshiiskii la saxiixay hala dib u dhacay.

Eh macluumaadka hadda aan hayno wuxuu sheegayaan in qorshuhu uu ahaa sida Xuseen uu hadda ay ka dhawaajiyay in eh mucaaradku oo dhan ay isku imaadaan iyo dowladdu federaalka oo ay ku jiraan eh ishe labada maamul goboleed ee ka tirsan eh golaha mustaqbalka Puntland iyo Jubaland.

Laakin ilaa hadda ma hayno wax dhaqdhqaqa oo ku saabsan in mucaaradka iyo dowladdu ay xamar isku imaan doonaan inta ka horeysa shirka qaramada midobee.

Mursade.

In Puntland, they tried.

In Jubaland, they invaded.

Maybe they, they are, they are planning to invade Somaliland.

We don't know.
