I'm already picturing the fading jacket. :D Remember when A&T claimed he saw Ibti on UTV? The same week there was this Mullah geezer from the US on UTV who sounded very familiar but I could not recollect where from. Then he called Shabaab "Kelligii Muslims". I jumped off my chair and shouted "Ahaa, I know you!!". A&T must have watched that programme as well because that's whom he's describing up there. :D:D

^ The question is; who is copying whom? You say 2002, this is from New York Times. New York, N.Y.: Nov 26, 1999. That entrepreneurial spirit is perhaps the greatest strength of the Somalilanders, half of whom still live as nomads with their camels and goats. In a few years, businessmen there have created one of cheapest telephone systems in Africa: international calls are $1.50 a minute in the day and only 80 cents at night. Traders are working to export frankincense and myrrh, and exploration has begun for oil and gemstones . Source http://www.mbali.info/doc117.htm I bet you don't even know that the name Puntland itself was coined by Somalilanders before they decided to go with Somaliland. Did you bother asking yourself how Garow and Galkayo can be "Puntland" when they were never part of the ancient land named the Punt? Overall Somaliland's economy is estimated to be worth $50 million, of which 95 percent is exports of livestock. There is difference between budget and economy.

Sayid Qardhai made two big blunders. One was to duel with some Arabeto with absolutely nothing to lose. The second mistake was to be from a town just outside poetry country.

Are we allowed to use ghost writers? Someone sent a story and they want me to post it. It's ironically called "The Truth". I'm sure you guess who the guess who wrote it anyway...

Four people, including three women, were arrested on Thursday when Durban police raided a Westville home and seized weapons and ammunition believed to be destined for Somalia to help in the fight against piracy, but which had been illegally diverted. The illegal activities of piracy cartels is getting out of hand. PS Deafening silence from the usually rowdy empty vessels. Come out pirate boys, JB won't arrest you too.

I did not make any connections. I only posted that because Hunguri said "...citizens of South Africa who are the Black majority indeginouse of that countery have forgiven and forget what ever the whites did to them...". as argument against the posting or commemoration of the crimes. Clearly the people of South Africa have not forgotten what took place and they do remember the dark days of their history. At least the black people of South Africans knew what the Apartheid regime was all about, if you asked me. Huguris was just one of many silly and weak points made against JB posting this thread. "SNM started war in the middle of their towns" claims Ducaysane. Well the victims were picked from their homes and there was no war in the middle of Burco in 1984. Like Xaaji says, what about the people who were murdered in Jasiira Beach, was there SNM in 1989 Mogadishu? Nevermind 1989, what about the 84 men who were murdered at Garabcase camp in Jigjiga while fighting to liberate 0gaden region from the Ethios? These men's families were told they died fighting, while the truth was their supposed comrades in arms betrayed them. Was there SNM in the 1970s? More importantly, who really started the clan wars that would leave Somali Republic a failed State? This section of the SOL has the sub-headings; World Politics, Somali Politics, Current Issues. That is a good reason enough for JB posting the piece. In my opinions the article posted was informative and newsworthy because it highlighted the fact no commemoration was done for the victims over the last 25 years. It also quoted a relative asking for a descent burial of the victims (AUN) instead of the mass grave they're still in. Last but not least, some incidents are worth commemorating. Hotel Shamo was one such. I've watched commemorations of that day on TV by the victims' (AUN) relatives and the likes of Sh. Sharif - even though hundreds were dying weekly in the fighting taking place in Mogadishu. Does it mean the lives lost in Hotel Shamo were somehow special or better than the many other victims war? Of course not. Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm even more sensitive to others' suffering while in mourning compared to other times. Markaa dad bay meeli buktaa, otherwise they'd be no so much venom over that article!

^ What's your take on the topic itself?

^ C'on now they came for clannish reasons and nothing else. They thought they could rescue Afweyne's doomed regime and to prevent the of USC and SNM from taking power. Like the man from Universal TV says; Runta Kasheeg. :D PS what flag is that on the bottom that vehicle pic?

What amazes most, is the fact that a brutall, racist, regime who did every evil thing to the very citizens of South Africa who are the Black majority indeginouse of that countery have forgiven and forget what ever the whites did to them, simply to coexist in peace and harmony. South Africa's National Holidays 21 March: Human Rights Day On this day in 1960 the police killed 69 people at Sharpeville who were participating in a protest against the pass laws. Many were shot in the back. The carnage made world headlines. Four days later the government banned black political organizations, many leaders were arrested or went into exile. During the Apartheid era there were human rights abuses by all sides; Human Rights Day is but one step to ensure that the people of South Africa are aware of their human rights and to ensure that such abuses never again occur. 27 April: Freedom Day This was the day in 1994 when the first democratic election was held in South Africa, i.e. an election when all adults could vote irrespective of their race, and the day in 1997 when the new constitution took effect. 1 May: Worker's Day Many countries around the world commemorate the contribution made by workers to society on May Day (America doesn't celebrate this holiday because of its communist origins). It has traditionally been a day to protest for better wages and working conditions. Given the role that trade unions played in the fight for freedom, it is unsurprising that South Africa commemorates this day. 16 June: Youth Day On June 1976 students in Soweto rioted in protest against the introduction of Afrikaans as the language of instruction of half their school curriculum, sparking eight months of violent uprisings across the country. Youth Day is a national holiday in honour of all the young people who lost their lives in the struggle against Apartheid and Bantu Education. 18 July: Mandela Day A new public holiday introduced by President Jacob Zuma in 2009 to celebrate South Africa's most famous son -- Nelson Mandela. "It will give people in South Africa and all over the world the opportunity to do something good to help others. Madiba was politically active for 67 years, and on Mandela Day people all over the world, in the workplace, at home and in schools, will be called upon to spend at least 67 minutes of their time doing something useful within their communities, especially among the less fortunate." 9 August: National Women's Day On this day in 1956 some 20,000 women marched to the Union [government] Buildings in Pretoria to protest against a law requiring black women to carry passes. This day is celebrated as a reminder of the contribution made by women to society, the achievements that have been made for women's rights, and to acknowledge the difficulties and prejudices many women still face. 24 September: Heritage Day Nelson Mandela used the phrase "rainbow nation" to describe South Africa's diverse cultures, customs, traditions, histories, and languages. This day is a celebration of that diversity. 16 December: Day of Reconciliation Afrikaners traditionally celebrated 16 December as the Day of the Vow, remembering the day in 1838 when a group of Voortrekkers defeated a Zulu army at the Battle of Blood River, while ANC activists commemorated it as the day in 1961 when the ANC started to arm its soldiers to overthrow Apartheid. In the new South Africa's it's a day of reconciliation, a day to focus on overcoming the conflicts of the past and building a new nation. PS This is the first time ever that these victims have been officially commemorated.

These factors constrain his ability to come up with anything worth critique. Waar Xiin is no longer the pacifist Mullah of old.

Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris 1994* Whether God exists or not is not as such, part of the subject matter of any empirical science, natural or social. But the facts, or what are sometimes assumed to be the facts, of the natural sciences, especially physics and biology, are often interpreted to support one view or the other. This is not therefore a paper about physics, but about the relationship between physics and the question of the existence of God. More specifically, it is mainly an Islamic rational critique of the ways modern atheists attempts to meet the challenge posed by the Big Bang theory. It does not deal with positive proofs for the existence of the Creator; it only proves the invalidity of the arguments used to buttress atheism. http://www.jaafaridris.com/English/Books/physicists.htm

^ Ameen to that and the same to you. The difference is not whiteman/blackman, but rather the so-callled "unionist" would never ask: And in any case, what was the alternative? A reconstituted Somalia would require reconnecting Somaliland with what may be the world's most spectacularly failed state. Where Somaliland has a fledgling coast guard, Somalia has flourishing pirates, and where Hargeisa has a form of democracy, Mogadishu has howling anarchy punctuated by fits of sharia law.
