This woman realises that Somaliland is part and parcel of Somalia and as such she has every right to be the FM of Somalia. As for her earlier pro secession stances, that's history and has gone out of the door the moment she decided to be part of Somalia cabinet and landed Mogadishu, the capital of the republic.

Farmaajo is harmless and maybe a good guy but his tactics/supporters activities have caused death, he's intelligent and educated man and ought to know better, take responsibility and take actions to stop or apologise for the shenanigans that did more to harm his campaign than help.

This is inline with point I raised on the other thread. Madaxwaynaha inuu dhahayy inuusan kadhigaynin Raissal Wasaare nin kasoo jeeda reer Puntland, I think that's silly and not befitting a Somali President. I hope its not true and that that is not what he said or his position.

Warar ku dhow dhow Madaxtooyada ayaa sheegaya in Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud uu diiday in Ra'iisul Wasaare u magacaabo shaqsi ka soo jeeda Puntland Am I reading this right? Did the President really said this as Jawhar reports. Nominating the post for anyone is one thing but striking off and out-rightly crossing any candidate from certain Somali clan for being that clan is akin to hosting hostility. It's big prejudice from the President's part if indeed he said that as reported and will not lead to an easy path to get along with this certain community as they will not trust him. The President needs to get 101 clan politiks as he seems to be making big gaffes and massive miscalculations before he even began his journey to Somali politics.

I don't understand why people have to be so negative, I think both Shariif and Abdiwali have done a lot of good things so lets stop attacking pe ople for no reason. I for one would not like to see Abdiwali return as PM again but if the new President sees it fit, who am I to argue about that? I don't think him to be a bad politician either so lets not overexcite things.

That means no Abdiwali, so what is the rift between Farole and the former PM, why is he against him. I quite welcome Faroole's position and the Somali President should not select PM from the past politicians.

There is nothing wrong with having ID cards or driving licences. In fact its a good idea and a welcome step forward, our country has been an open gate to all kinds of foreigners and this will distinguish the Somalis from the outsiders roaming freely without regard for local laws in our motherland.

Maamulka Puntland oo ku talisay in Ra'iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya laga dhigo ruux ku cusub siyaasadda oo aan xukuumadihii hore ka mid noqon Talaado, September 18, 2012 (HOL) — Maamul goboleedka Puntland ayaa ka digay in loo magacaabo ra'iisul wasaaraha cusub ee Soomaaliya mas'uul horay uga soo mid noqday xukuumadihii dalka soo maray, iyagoo ku taliyeen in lasoo magacaabo ruux cusub oo aan kasoo mid noqon xukuumadihii hore. Wasiir ku xigeenka wasaaradda dekadaha Puntland, Cabdishakuur Mire Aadan ayaa hadalkan ku sheegay wareysi uu siiyay idaaadda Risaala oo ka mid ah kuwa ka howl-gala magaalada Muqdisho. "Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya, Xasan Sheekh waxaan ugu baaqaynaa inuu ra'iisul wasaare u soo xusho ruux sidiisa oo kale saaxada siyaasadda Soomaaliya ku cusub," ayuu yiri wasiir ku xigeenka dekedaha maamulka Puntland oo ka mid ah Soomaaliya. Puntland oo ah maamul ka tirsan Soomaaliya, ayaa waxay horay uga digeen in loo doorto xilka madaxnimo ee Soomaaliya mas'uuliyiintii hore, iyagoo xilligaas ku hanjabay inay qaadan doonaan go'aan iyaga u gaar ah, kaasoo ay ku sheegeen inay aayahooda kaga tashan doonaan. Ma uusan sheegin wasiir ku xigeenka Puntland in haddii lasoo magacaabo ra'iisul wasaare aysan ku qanacsanayn ay qaadan doonaan tallaabo la mid ah tii ay horay u sheegeen xilligii doorashada madaxweyaha Soomaaliya. Hadalkan kasoo baxay Puntland ayaa wuxuu imaanayaa xilli lagu wado in dhawaan uu madaxweynaha Soomaaliya soo magacaabo ra'iisul wasaare uu dalku yeesho, inkastoo aan la ogeyn cidda sida rasmiga ah loogu xulan doono xilkaas oo ah mid aad loo sugayo.

Waa arin aad ufiican. This shows Somalia has changed and matured a great deal, even Shariif Ahmed's last speech was a momentous one, a most welcome. Somalia shall rise, a new day and a new beginning insha'llah. Madaxwaynaha cusubna ilaahay haloo duceeyo si aas unoqdo midkoo fiican, uuna nagu noqon sida kuwa badan oo dadkaan maskinta soo marsaday oo bacda laga dhuuqsado.

All this men are running for the top post? What a crazy number this is and they are so serious that each and everyone of them paid 10K. I think this is good project and a lucrative business, Somalia should throw a Presidential election every year. The number adds to a sum of a quarter of a million US dollar, that's massive dough, it can fund few schools or orphanages. Lacag fiican ayaa laga sameeyay in one day. This money should go to a good cause - build schools. Nimankaana waa fiicanyihiin, next year haladhoho there is another election.

I don't know why this individual is singling out this candidate out of the hundreds including former warlords that are running for the post, and with such conviction? Waryaa Sheikh Shariif maa ku dhalay? Mase Yusuf Garaad? lol

Does anyone remember during early days of fleeing civil war in the 90's, living as refugees in neighboring East African countries, when people crawled out of their residences in the middle of the night hiding and made their way to the city to make illegal cheap or even free long distance calls to relatives in Europe or America?

Certainly he wasn't a colorful President but not as bad as you all make it. But truth be said, he fitted the role of the Maxaakimta leader and spokesperson and did better in that role than as the President title. Maybe the man wasn't real/acting in the latter role while the first was natural and was being himself.

Why do I feel that people are getting overexcited and giving far too much credit to this man than he deserves. Calm down batigiis. If he wins the world will not turn upside down, we have seen worse and people dealt with them, but if he's good and serves the people he will indeed earn respect from the masses but if not then he will be removed by a sword.

This is good news and a right step for Egypt and the Muslim world to see this. Its indeed as relevant as discussing about Klint Eestwood's speech at the GOP. Not everything posted on these boards is purely about Somalia.

Its very sad. May Allah Taallaa grant Jannah. A cruel act that's need to be investigated and properly dealt with - the Kenyan government has a duty here to show responsibility and respond to this murder in kind and give answers to the masses immediately otherwise it will lead to a catastrophic end.

^Do you mean Somali clan based websites. Every group think their clansman is winning with clear 478 votes out of the 275(i.e. not yet compelete)

Its not only offensive but racist system. The worst kind of 'legalised' racism in the name of reconciliation but only led to more divisions and clan bigotry. Barring certain tribes to run for certain posts is nothing but pure racism.

LOol, sound so confident, hadhoowto lee hadhuumanin. Actually, I don't have anything against this man but I don't like this kabadbadis.

Caawale Sxb waan kusheegay sidee ila muuqato aniga ama qof kasta ee cqli saliim ah ula muuqan karto? Marka adiga sideey kuula muuqataa ? Aniga waxaanba kusii dari karaa ninkaan daacad oowba ahaay, 2 sano kahor uuba sheegay isagoo shacab iska ah oo dowladna kujirin uuyiri, Etoobiya oorkaa lagu kacsanaa meeshaan ee dowlada A/Y aa laga soo horjeedaa, Putlanddna waa tagay burcad badeedka lagu xirxiraa, ninkaas cadaanka a wuxuu rabaa in Somalia lakala gooyo oo secession-ka Somalilnd ayuu taageeraa. Warkaan wax qaldan ma ujeedo, marki uu dhahaayay warkaana shacab caadi uu iska ahaa kadina dowlda uu kashaqeeyay PM-na noqday. Shariif Ahmedna runtuu kasheegay, isagaas ahaay qofkii dhihi jiray USA iyo Ethiopia maa raali galinaa mase ilaahay markii danbena USA/Ethiopia caadi unoqatay in laraali galiyo. Marka adiga warkaan kolay waa dhageesatay ee tafsiirtaada nasii, tasfiirtaada xiiso uqabaayee

^Who said highly educated individuals should not or cannot teach at a Dugsi level. Also wasn't Obama a community organiser before he was elected Senator.

Well, at least he escaped today from being eliminated as a result of the speaker outcome, until another day, will wait and see.

Duke, hadalkaas maxaa kaqaldan, Somalia wadan dhan in wax qabiil ay qolo iskaga haystaan kuraaska kore wadanka dad kale magali karaan ladhoho qalad waaye. Somalia wadan ween waaye dadka dhan wa kadhaxeeyaa

^Cawaal, warkaan aniga waxaan maqlay marku uu siyaasada Somalia soo galay mar udhaw, caadi uuna ila ahaa, marka hada sidee si xun ula arki karaa? Adiga hadii aad horay umaqashay sidi marki hore uu kula ahaa si kaduwan muu kula yahay hada, mase qabiilkina layahay kadib Shariifka markuu PM kadhigay? Mase hadaa website-yada lagu soo daabacay ka aragtay iyagoo kadhigaa oo kuqoray 'SIR CULUS'

Cawaale meeshaan sheeko baraleey uu la yimid, sheeko cusub meesha keen warkaan horaan umaqalnee, war cusub oo hada laduubay maxaa uga dhige?
