listen people, you can't harbor this mentality of using the actions of the former Somali regime to legitimize succession. One, inter northern civil wars did far more damage then the regime could have dreamed, the more likely cause of any supposed mass graves. two, whats the difference between people in awdal, sool, sanaag and southern toghdeer. if this is the raison d'être of separation, then should this regime not also separate from this region? This and the glorification of the SNM, which killed many not from that certain clan including refugees from o'denia.

and i can't spell Somali for... so if you can, help. 1 What Are Your Rights as a Worker? When filling out the I-9 form, an employer CANNOT: ▼ask you to show specific documents, or refuse to accept valid documents ▼ask ONLY foreign-looking or sounding individuals, or immigrants, to fill out the I-9 form ▼refuse to accept documents with a future expiration date ▼refuse to accept receipts of valid documents As an employee, you also have the right to challenge an employer if s/he: ▼refuses to hire you, or fires you, because you look or sound foreign, or because of your immigration status. ▼refuses to hire you, or fires you, because s/he requires from you a knowledge of English that is not necessary to do the job you are applying for. All of these employer actions are ILLEGAL. They are discriminatory practices. If you have been denied--or lost--work for any of these reasons, call the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) in the U.S. Department of Justice. 2 If you would like to file a charge of discrimination, have any questions about filling out the I-9 form or about worker protections under the law, contact the: Office of Special Counsel (OSC) 1-800 255-7688; TDD for hearing impaired: 1-800-237-2515 U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division—NYA rm 9000 Office of Special Counsel For Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 For more information about immigration documents, contact: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services http://www.uscis.gov 1-800-375-5283 3 U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices If You Have The Right To Work, Don’t Let Anyone Take It Away. 4 What Do You Need to Know to Fill out the I-9 Form? ▼ You can CHOOSE which documents to present as proof of your right to work in the United States, as long as these documents are listed on the reverse of the I-9 form. Employers CANNOT DEMAND to see specific documents, such as a "green card," and they CANNOT REFUSE to accept the documents that you present. ▼ The documents you show must establish two things: your IDENTITY and your RIGHT TO WORK IN THE U.S. One document from Group A is enough to prove both identity and work authorization. If you do not present one of these documents, you must show one document from Group B to establish your identity and one document from Group C to establish your work authorization. ▼ An employer CANNOT REFUSE TO HIRE YOU because your work authorization has a future expiration date. Your employer must reverify your work authorization by asking to see valid work documents on or before the expiration date. For this reverification of your work authorization, you can also CHOOSE which documents to present to the employer. 5 If You Receive an E-Verify TNC ▼ If the information you provide on the I-9 form does NOT match information contained in Social Security Administration (SSA) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) databases, E-Verify will generate a

what the heck do u guys expect him to do surrounded by lunatics? reason dictates that u use whatever resources available to u in such a situations.

JB, let it go brother, let it go. all Somalis have suffered.

you asked if the US will "accep and make deals with shabab" and i was telling u that you have better luck with the Us making deals with queda then shabab

mintid, you send oodka to the south as a peacekeeper would mean crowded hospitals with wanlaweyns with head injuries from oodka's cane

you might as well suggest that the US make deal with al queda.

what on earth is huufarka

how sad, these Somalis should have spent all that money on their own soil. KK, Xaal see kenyatiga, shiir afrikaan oo daan bey la sharegareyan

siren, not used to concessions on SOL but point taken walaal. warya saqajaan adeyg, am gonna let all my shisha bouncers know about ur ignorant views of my shisha xalimos until you apologize and u will be banned from all of them.

they say everything is not for everyone and too each his own. I don't know about arab harems/Shisha cafes (Though i would like to visit one) but I do enjoy shisha cafes, arab or otherwise. I have been to them in Columbus where I first discovered that they exist in 2003 and Later, i have seen really nice ones in New York, DC and Philadelphia, my home town, where I found people toasting to the new year with Shisha and Champagne. There all not the same, some have club atmosphere like the one in Philadelphia or Babylon in DC. Others like Gypsy in Columbus are real cafes where can enjoy a flaverful shisha, best chai in town, nice variety of world music and a game of chess or spades with you friends. After a long, a relaxing place to look forward to. Girls there are real,friendly, comfortable in their own skin and though hijabis are a rear sight, those that come are also real, friendly and comfortable in their own skin. Most of them, girls or guys, are college kids, hence smarter then the average Xalimo and farah as some of you here have taken to call Somalis. As for the health concerns, we all have a few unhealthy habits, i have a personal policy not to trust those that don't (they usually have something more sinister in their closets). I found through a recent NY times article recently that some of the vitamins that i have been taking cancel out the health benefits of my exercises. Point is, unless you walk around with a magical bubble, coming across some things that are not good for you, knowingly or unknowingly, is inevitable. Furthermore, cigs have a lot of additives that make them worse for you than the flavor and natural tobacco that is shisha. More importantly, just because you don't like something, does not mean we all have to feel the same way. be confident in your lifestyle people, no need to try to justify it or worse demean it.

looooooooooooooooooo oooool, more people should do that just for the heck of it.

^ let me ask you something, in your mind, is it a capital crime to be a peace loving person or God forbid a "secular-nationalist "? What you scream about here and condone on a daily bases is the murder of fellow human, fellow muslims. This kind of perverse interpretation of a peaceful religion and worse the need to kill in order subjugate people to that perverse mentality is why the muslim world is ablaze with all kinds of wars and instability. For your own sake brother take an anger management class or better yet see a shrink. Horn, ama icu, ama shabaab ama barre hiiraale, that fickle worldview of yours is an affliction you share with your entire countrymen which insures this God forsaken nation never gets it sh** together. There will always be a reason to cheer for that beady eyed lunatics we call moryans espousing to defend Somalia from Somalis who try take steps toward peace, governance, stability and respectability in the name of clan, region or now allah. To all others, cheering for these "islamist youth", what is the need for islamist in country where 100% of the people are muslims, does that not make everyone an islamist? Secondly, whatever khat induced paranoia you have concerning the head islamist in charge can you morally justify, too your selfs or otherwise, the use of deadly violence to protect a religion that forbids the cutting of trees let alone taking lives.

they say, behind every great man is a great woman, perhaps the other half of the equation is also missing walaal

In 1988 the total expenditure for transportation and communications was US$57.8 million. Nearly 55 percent of this amount was for new infrastructure; 28 percent was for rehabilitation and maintenance of existing infrastructure. This activity must be understood in the context of the ongoing civil war in Somalia; much of the infrastructure particularly bridges in the north, either had deteriorated or been destroyed, as a result of the fighting. As of early 1992, no systematic study existed of the infrastructural costs of the civil war. At independence, Somalia inherited a poorly developed transportation system consisting of a few paved roads in the more populated areas in the south and northwest, four undeveloped ports equipped only with lighterage facilities, and a handful of usable airstrips (see fig. 6). During the next three decades, some improvement was made with the help of substantial foreign aid. By 1990 all-weather roads connected most of the important towns and linked the northern and southern parts of the country. Three ports had been substantially improved, eight airports had paved runways, and regular domestic air service also was available. But in early 1992, the country still lacked the necessary highway infrastructure to open up undeveloped areas or to link isolated regions, and shipping had come to a virtual halt because of the security situation. In 1990 Somalia had more than 21,000 kilometers of roads, of which about 2,600 kilometers were paved, 2,900 kilometers were gravel, and the remainder were improved earth. The country's principal highway was a 1,200-kilometer two-lane paved road that ran from Chisimayu in the south through Mogadishu to Hargeysa in the north. North of Mogadishu, this route ran inland, roughly paralleling the border with Ethiopia; a 100-kilometer spur ran to the Gulf of Aden at Berbera. By early 1992 much of this road, especially the northern part between Hargeysa and Berbera, was relatively unsafe because of land mines. Somalia's 1988 plan provided for another connection from this main route to Boosaaso on the Gulf of Aden. Somalia had only one paved road that extended from north of Mogadishu to Ethopia; all other links to neighboring countries were dirt trails impassable in rainy weather. Four ports handled almost all of Somalia's foreign trade. Berbera, Mogadishu, and Chisimayu were deepwater ports protected by breakwaters. Merca, just south of Mogadishu, was a lighterage port that required ships to anchor offshore in open roadsteads while loading and unloading. Mogadishu was the principal port of entry for most general cargo. Berbera received general cargo for the northern part of the country and handled much of the nation's livestock exports. United States aid enabled the doubling of the berths at the port of Barkera and the deepening of the harbor, completed in 1985 at a cost of US$37.5 million. Maydh, northwest of Erigaro, was the only other and much smaller northern port. Chisimayu's main function was the export of bananas and meat; the meat was processed and packed at the port. The United States also financed the US$42 million development of Chisimayu port in the latter half of the 1980s. Merca was an export point for bananas. In 1986 the Somali Ports Authority launched a modernization project for all ports, with concentration on Mogadishu. The cost was estimated at US$24.4 million, of which the IDA provided US$22.6 million as a credit. Mogadishu International Airport was the nation's principal airfield; in the 1980s, was a runway extended to 4,500 meters one of the runway was Africa's longest with United States financial aid. The airport was further expanded in 1989 by Italy's contribution from its emergency aid fund for Africa. Only Mogadishu offered international flights. Somali Airlines, the nation's flag carrier, was partially owned by Alitalia, the Italian national airline. Somali Airlines in 1989 replaced its fleet of five aging 707 airplanes with one Airbus 310, making it a one-plane international airline. In 1990 domestic service linked Mogadishu with Berbera and six other Somali cities; flights were scheduled at least once a week. As of April 1992, Somali Airlines had no scheduled flights, domestic or international, and no other regular flights existed. One national paved road One plane national carrier One Civilian airport, three or four in total three deep water ports, Berbera, kismayo and mogadishu lastly, the only roads connecting to other countries were dirt roads that could not be used in rainy seasons. Given such facts, i'd celebrate dirt airstrips in the middle of no where too.

The Garaad has realized that his regions have been neglected, despite being most in need, by aid agencies because of the policies of Somaliland and Puntland. If we have learned anything about his world view, he is driven by the needs of his people. He knows very well what his role is, after all, he comes from a long line of leaders going back hundreds of years. All in all, its for him and his constituency to determine the changing roles and responsibilities of the title that he has. Regardless, he has immense respect in the eyes of his people and any entity keen on the "hearts and minds" of that people should be cognizant of that fact.

You know a companies stock is driven by more then performance. This companies adventure in Somalia has always been seen as risky and in 2days economic environment that maybe a little more then most investers r willing to stomach.

Could these be due to the global recession

I think there are rules against posting graphic, either case, just give links next time.

is it me or does faroole look like daffy duck?

Alla maxa dad meeshan ku waashen. Booto sol logama baahna. All that we can ask is stop killing those old ladies selling tamatoes or cleaning streets. If these shabaabs had any balls they fight like men instead of hiding or blowing themselves up. Waa cowards and all who think like them. Ethiopias capital is in addis, u got beef with them, go blow ya self up in addis inta poor islaamo uu booteynesid

good thing, hope these extremist continue exterminate each other

the word ur looking for is not leader or leadership more like fanatic and delusional. And u do us all a favor and go blow ur self up in the desert or keep collecting those welfare checks you speak about and be greatful towards those kind enough to give u such thing.

people with ur kinda mentality are truly the revolting ones.

Originally posted by Adam-Zayla: On second thoughts I'm suspicious, Turkiye is the second most powerful country - military wise - in NATO and NATO has interests. And how do you come to such a conclusion? IS Turkey or "turkiye" more powerful then the US, UK, Spain, France, Germany, Canada? Am afraid the internet is having the opposite effect then it was intended for.
