Halgankii dadkeenu u galeen xornimada aan maanta u dabaaldegayno, waxaa door weyn ka qaatay dhalinyaradii ragga iyo haweenkaba lahaa ee qalbiyadooda u mideeyay, sidii ay ummada uga samata bixin lahaayeen heeryadii gumeysiga.

Qarannimo iyo qabyaalad meel ma wada galaan, waxa aan baahi u qabnaa, qarannimo caadifad qabiil ka maran.

Dhalinyaro maanta waa doorkiinii, qayb ka noqda dib u dhiska dalkeena, si aan wadajir ugu samata bixino qarannimadeena aan u helno, dal nabad ah iyo dowlada wanaagsan.

Former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed issued a press release regarding his meeting with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in Nairobi on Friday.
The meeting, organized and financed by their sub-clan elders, was intended to push the two men to find common ground on national issues that radically oppose them.
Among the contentious issues listed in the communique are the reworking of the constitution, the country's political turnaround and the dispute between President Mohamud's government and the regional state of Puntland.
In all cases, according to Sharif, the president has been inflexible. As a result, Sharif felt obliged to abandon the talks, since Mohamud had made no effort to make concessions for the sake of the nation.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has been summoned to Nairobi to listen to his Kenyan counterpart's proposal to defuse the conflict between Somalia and Ethiopia.

So far, President Mohamud has refused to enter into talks with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed unless he publicly withdraws from the MoU, which has sparked a diplomatic row between the two neighboring nations.
