Originally posted by Karl_Polanyi: Mark my words, even if Barcelona score 2- Inter will score as well simply due to openess of Barcelona and their defensive errors. That's possible but Barca did beat Inter 2-0 in the group stages. A&T Visually impaired Ngonge never watches games anyway so don't be surprised

Here's another "candid" interview. 18,April,2010 Following are edited excerpts from a transcript of Jeffrey Gettleman’s recent interview with Somalia’s president, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, at Villa Somalia, the presidential palace, in Mogadishu, the nation’s capital. The answers were translated from the Somali by a Somali interpreter: Q. Let’s start with your enemy. You know these guys. You used to work with them. Like Hassan Dahir Aweys and Abu Monsoor [two well-known insurgent leaders]. Why can’t you make peace with them? Why is it so difficult to bring them on board? A. It’s true. It’s an important question. It would be my preference that since we worked together in the I.C.U. [islamic Courts Union] we would work together now. People go through stages and sometimes they take the wrong turn. When they didn’t join the peace process, that took them far out and now they can’t get out of that corner. Q. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said it was crucial to reach out and bring in these opposition groups. What are you doing about that? A. We have been busy with that. An important part of Hizbul Islam has already joined the government and some from the Shabab. Q. How do you try to persuade them? A. There are people in government that reach out to these people. And other Somalis. The government’s door is open and there is always an option to review their position. Q. When was the last time you spoke to Aweys? A. I don’t remember. It’s been a while. Q. Can you call him? A. I don’t have a problem with it in principle. But I don’t believe the time is right yet and that a telephone call would make a difference. Q. What’s your vision to bring peace? What are some specifics? A. The government wished to bring in as many groups as possible through the reconciliation. The government is working to earn the trust of the people. Helping us are the ways of Hizbul Islam and Shabab. Their path is a dark one. Q. What has the government done since you became president in February? A. This government faced obstacles that were unparalleled. We had to deal with international terrorist groups creating havoc elsewhere. Their plan was to topple the government soon after it arrived. The government proved it could last. The vision of the government is becoming clear to the Somali people and the international community. We are working on the security front a lot. We are doing reconstruction. We are doing humanitarian work. We have done things on good governance. You must remember that to accomplish a lot needs resources. Q. If you don’t get the help you need, what’s going to happen? A. We won’t be able to accomplish a lot. Not much will work. The government is dealing with a lot. We’re trying to set up administrations. We’re trying to reclaim parts of the country currently controlled by extremists. We are working on reconciliation. We have a lot of pressure from the fighting. Q. How urgent is it? Will this government not survive unless it gets more support? A. The problem with international aid is that it often comes late and is limited. There’s no doubt that an established government that doesn’t get the right resources will not stand. Why not Somalia? Q. Why has Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama [a moderate Islamist group, led by Sufi Muslim clerics] been able to defeat the Shabab outside Mogadishu and you haven’t? A. There is a difference between the cities and the regions. Only the I.C.U. was able to control Mogadishu. Of course, we need to do more. But the opposition is busy attacking the government in Mogadishu, which makes it easier to liberate the regions. Q. You are not a military man, which many people say is a good thing. How much time do you spend on military matters? A. We spend a great deal of time on security-related issues. Q. What percentage of your time? A. About 75 percent. Q. Have you gotten better at military strategy? A. [laughing] I can’t say that. Q. Are you worried about Ahlu Sunnah getting too powerful? A. The Sufi sects don’t usually go to war. They don’t usually shed blood. The elders of the Sufis in the past used to manage them through spiritual connections. My fear is that if they continue on the path of fighting, they will shift from these tenets and principles. Q. How close are you to them? I went to Dusa Marreb [a town in central Somalia] and it didn’t seem like Ahlu Sunnah and the government were working together at all. A. Most Somalis subscribe to the Sufi sect. Ahlu Sunnah particularly suffered at the hand of Al Shabab. They have the right to defend themselves. Going beyond that defense would be questionable or illegal. Q. So what does that mean? They are going beyond self-defense. They are seizing new territory. A. We see that as part of self-defense. Q. Let’s talk about Shariah [islamic law]. The Parliament has agreed to use Shariah as a guiding principle. But what form? A. Shariah itself doesn’t change. What changes are the people who are interpreting it. The emphasis here has to be what is the best interest of the people, for this life and the life hereafter. Q. But can you please provide some specifics. Will girls go to school with boys and be educated equally? A. That’s one area where we don’t have a problem in Somalia. In Somali tradition, we had elderly women who were in charge of educating people. Q. What about the veil? Will a Somali woman be allowed to walk around in public without a veil? A. The interpretation of the veil is an item itself. In general, Islam ordains that a woman covers her body. The purpose of that is to prevent temptation and other problems. Q. But is this something you are prepared to make a law? In Turkey, they don’t make women wear veils. In Saudi Arabia, they do. Where will Somalia come in on the veil issue?. A. The purpose is to get people to the point where they do this from conviction, say up to 80 percent of the people. The government would help the rest. The tradition of our prophet, peace be upon him, is not to give instructions or orders without first preparing the people. Q. But today in Somalia what does that mean? Will the law say that women have to wear a hijab [a head scarf] or not? A. If you look at the situation in Somalia today, this becomes a moot point. Hijab is the norm. And considering the difficulties we have in front of us, this does not become a major issue. We’re working on how to save people’s lives, which is much more of a priority than this subject. Q. What do you think about Al Qaeda and its influence here? A. We believe that there is a strong relationship between Al Qaeda and some people here, the people leading the fighting. The relationship with Al Qaeda is well known. Al Qaeda has said it. And the local fighters have said it. If you go to places the opposition controls, you will see foreign fighters. Their symbols and flags are also abundantly available. Q. When you were part of the I.C.U. in 2006, did you see this creeping in? A. There were many well-wishers in Somalia at the time of the Islamic Courts. There was no way to tell that this was the beginnings of Al Qaeda or anything like that, at the time. Q. But even back then, the U.S. government was asking your help to hand over Fazul Abdullah Mohamed and other suspected Al Qaeda terrorists. You didn’t and that was one reason the U.S. backed Ethiopia to invade. Do you look back and see anything you could have done to stop that? A. No, there was nothing we could have done to stop that. Q. Why? A. There was limited information about these people. We needed time. Q. What’s been your biggest mistake as president? A. We just started. We haven’t had any time to reflect. Q. Looking back at 2006, is there anything you would have done differently? A. I’m sure there was. But one would also have to consider the situation at the time and what was the right thing to do. Whether that could have been accomplished, that’s another question. Q. Some people think there should be more emphasis in Somalia on a bottom-up form of government that prioritizes local government. I’ve been to the regions recently and I haven’t seen any evidence of the central government. What do you think about this approach? A. Part of the government’s plan is to build administrations in the regions. Q. But what does that mean? Schools, hospitals, military help — where are you going to begin? A. To build a full administration. Q. Where are you going to start? A. We don’t want to expand. Q. What’s it like to go from being on the outside of power the last couple years to now being president? You don’t even have to open up your car door any more; someone else does it for you. A. I think whether I open the door or someone else does is of little consequence. What is important is that we took an oath to work for the nation. Q. What’s it like to be now working with the Americans, who helped the Ethiopians get rid of you? A. I would put the question differently. What we were fighting for was a peaceful Somalia that can deal with the rest of the world.

#It's a good thing you don’t have bus fare It would fall through the whole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground. You gotta walk into town to find a job. Tryin to keep your hands warm when the hole in your shoe Let's the snow come through and it chills you to the bone So boy you better go home where it's warm. Where you can live in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man. Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can. Living on a dream ain't easy but the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away you have to take 'em in stride for family pride. You know that faith is your foundation And with a whole lot of love and warm conversation But don't forget to pray it's making it strong where you belong. And we're living on the love of the common people . . . . #

Kashafa If it’s cheap propaganda you still have to explain it. Is it a case of photo manipulation? Is corpse in area controlled by Shabaab/HI? Yes? Then how did it get there? Was it a security failure? Why the corpse in that disrespectful state; if that was not some sort of punishment and threat as the article seem to suggest? Have the accused issues a denial or an explanation? No need to tell us about AMISON atrocities or lack of mourning over their victims. That’s totally irrelevant.

Originally posted by NGONGE: cilmu el ghayb anigu ma aqaan, You don't say! It's your supposed educated guesses that we're exposing, nothing else. I too thought Arsanal would win because of Spurs' form in addition to them having played 120 mins on Sunday. Having said that, comments like "will walk all over Spurs" and "will get crushed" are not educated guesses but sheer stuff and nonsense. I can forgive your comments in last Barca vs Man CL final; but this season have been unpredictable your “educated guesses” should come with a wind of caution.

^ Does the script say LFC will finish 4th?

^ Like I said; he looked at the fixture list and said "we can win this sheet".

^ So you really are ...

^ I thought that was one of the "hard fixtures" for Spurs?

Originally posted by NGONGE: Without him, both Arsenal and Chelsea will walk all over Spurs. War kubbada barta dee. Fuloow guuli kuu dhawaydaa?

Originally posted by Abtigiis & Tusbax: The same applies to SNM and Somaliland. I don't think Somalilanders will ever be subjected to oppression even if they rejoin Somalia. The re-occurance of another SNM is a good deterent. Foreign mercenaries hired by so-called Somali new bright leaders (Sharif, Omaar, Sharmaarke, etc) are bombarding civilians in Muqdisho as we speak just like Hargeisa of 20 years ago. The remnants of the previous crimes (Morgans, Qaydiids etc) are also lurking among them. What is your optimism based on yaa sahib?

Xiin This "simple delusion" where Africans pop in for dinner is still comparatively better alternative to the nightmare of them shelling markets, is it not?

^ The artcle is from GalgalaNews not mine so contain yourself. Maxaad la xanaaqday, maa Eyl Cartel baad taageertaa? It not the first time Farooles claimed a crackdown is on, and not the first time he was accused of double-standards either. There are three sides to this story. Let's hope this time the crackdown is for real so the foreign navies can leave the neighbourhood.
