^^ Let's wait, Xiin is very good at explaining things away.

Originally posted by Johnny B: Now, Assuming that one can differentiate Ethiopia from Uganda and their role in Somalia's misery, would a little consistency be much to ask? Sh. Sharif can answer that. As for Amir having a clannish axe to grind, well, he is classified in the .5 portion of the 4.5 government headed by Sh. Sharif. More from the archives... 2006 with Francois Fall What's changed to make Sh. Sharif not feel safe in 2009 Mogadishu?

Originally posted by xiinfaniin: Gabbal is wrong. Clan has nothing to do with this. The Kismayo admin that was set up before came to expire. It was commissioned for six months. It was between three Islamic entities; Alshabab, Caanoole, and Kambooni groups. Now both Kambooni and Canoole groups are demanding a new admin be established. Alshabaab is agreeing in principle but is suggesting few modifications. This fight i have no clue how it started but the city was tense past few weeks. Gabal as always is good at injecting tribal politics where it does not belong Nice try. Horn is under-playing Caanoole's influence while you and Duke are doing the opposite because...

Abwaan Maxamed Ibrahim Warsame, Hadraawi, oo Soo Booqdey Madaariska Quba....

^^ You are in denial, as usual.

^ What is AA here for in your opinion? I've no idea what you wanted him to draw. What messages are you expecting him to send? Remember, it's a cartoon not a text book sxb. Maybe the problem here is your expectation.

^^ One does not have to find it funny. North said the cartoon did not carry "any messege" and was "meaningless". Not true. At home, Sh. Sharif and his guests are not allowed the luxurious reception he received in Turkey. That's why he was in Turkey after all, is it not?

Originally posted by Juje: Sxb dont take the fun out of the picture. No one is questioning here the status of Sheikh Sharif..ok. Odeyga hada kadiib he should avoid using the AMISOM armed carriers. Amin Camir qandho ku dishey walle odeyga wu la heley. Exactly. North, the message in the cartoon is ^^^.

That's a reception with chilly sauce. These are the kinds of "foreigners" Sh. Sharif should hanging out with.

^^ Have you got him? If he is there, surely you can't have the likes of him out there without thorough vetting. Who is in charge of security?

You'd expect some people to know what an Ethios invasion looks like.

^^ Did I? Apologies then.

^^ How many times? I don't keep count. Unlike you, I'm not obsessed with him or his movement. Unhealthy if you ask me . Seek Yemeni "medical help" like your fugitive warlord.

The only mugged people are cheerleaders who thought their warlord would be kept in charge by Ethios till October - only for him to become a refugee in Yemen. Tell us about your pirateland ol chap, give us more excuses, last couple of days have been comical.

Taking the spotlight away from "Pirateland State" huh?

LST No need to be up-tight sxb. Just saw the SOL label and thought maybe you or someone you know took that lovely picture. Anyways, keep them coming...

So Roobow is an Oromo, Yey is Yemeni and Rayaale is Tigray. Things you learn on SOL ...

Peculiar use of the term "gospel" there, Lazie G.

LST I've seen the "Boocame" picture with a "Sanaag" tag on it on another site, any background info of these photos?

^^ The question was WHY?

^^Why is piracy a problem in Galmudug?

^^ Is there a piracy scourge in Galmudug as well?

^^ Technically, you're not from the Middle-East...

^^ Seems the political uncertainty is keeping some Middle-Eastern tourists away.
