how ironic! All that huha to we can't wish her away. Where was such reasoning when Yusuf was president and you attacked him for the some thing you are defending the good shaikh now?

abullahi yusuf! Ethiopian!!!! cawan foqal cawan

are they choosing a chairman or candidate to run?

lol,i actually know a girl from this place and the first time she told she was from QAW! i couldn't help but laugh. Bender siyada sounds better, qaw sounds like something my fathers says when he wants to dismiss something with gow!!

southerners have blamed everything under heaven and earth for the their misfortunes and their dowladdiidnimo, in an effort to irrefutably proof that they are the problem if they are not able to solve theirs when every one of their demands has been met including electing themselves to every postion of government. MY advice in short to northerns both PL and SL, Stay away and support as much as you can.

loooool, some sick Somalis like those in asmara would like nothing better then these poor people who have yet to recover from nearly two decades of civil war to know finish each in a sectarian war. Listen people, if you want sharia, sharia your selfs. Forcing your religious fews on others is something that can wait after these people hundred percent muslim pop is finished with real issues of access to clean water and god knows what else.

one, the government already has some forces and needs to continue building them, two, why does every freakin somali have the urge to share their hatred of ethiopians? Some of you really do make too much of those people. now should be the time to focus on the internal affairs of Somalis and let go of chasing ghosts.

^why? is the president from the north? nothing you ever do will appease Somalis.

Because Galaydh represents geographical and tribal regions that only he at the moment represents (Puntland and Somaliland).

mr cade out too

wait until when, you might be suprised but some of thought we were waiting for the last decode

better late then never

koora, if indeed the objectives of the latest peace efforts are to address a single issue, they are guilty a mistake more profound then any of the previous governments are guilty of. Shabaab is defeated and another if not many will rise in its place. The TFG came closest but what that God forsaken place needs is a comprehensive effort and not yet again a short term one but sidelining any clan is a shore recipe for disaster.

i really did think it was gonna take him a lot longer to declare this given scc elder's unbreakable affinity for puntland. THANK GOD, its now time to put the house of SSC in order and let go of this most one way union with mtiniya

do somalis ever need a reason to fight and when u say its back, when did it leave really/

what r u doin for your self to be givin such advice o others

ninka, do all of us a favor and just keep your pie, let it be enough for you. Dulka, your insults just never end sxb, i don't think the people of these regions want a place where they can contest elections, the reasons they walked out on the formation of Somaliland are simple and are known all. for example, they wanted the capital to be Burco rather then hargeisa. Now, such a demand seems trivial compared what has taken place in Puntland. Borame spent few years in the trenches and one of its sons, however disliked, was elected to the top post despite being a minority. SSC spent years in the trenches, was not a minority, spared no amount financial and human capital to advance the common good, offered puntland its best, Hashi, to have cade chosen. Maakhir did the samething and a criminal is chosen. and we can make excuses for that sorry example of a parliament but that people like you are ok with it, further more, throw insults at the people.

ibti one, u might be the only lander who does not claim SSC and maakhir regions, if i wanted to put the effort in it, i would have probably found post by you were you say something contrary to what you are saying. another thing, there has been recently a childish behavior by people like you on both sides, pl and sl, to call an entire people names. I would give you the brotherly advice that its un becoming to be so simpleminded. thirdly, the decision i have reached is a personal one, i never foolish enough to believe that my actions have consequence for an entire people. It is a wrong assumption for people like you to believe that any Somali group, any group for that matter will go about what is perceived to be in their in a machine like way and march in unison toward that end. these indignant charges of they should do this or that should be abandoned. they people reach decisions, in a democratic fashion anyway, is to go along with the majority. Mind you and under no illusion as to what the majority's opinion is (Puntland) having been one of them but that does not mean that i won't advocate for what i now think, after some experiments, is the true path to the end I and many others think is the end we seek as a people. Stick to it like glue? This leads me to believe that you think the decisions these people face are a game to you. And this believes, relationships are not built on believes but common interest. Furthermore, why do we need the trust of others. you take or leave, nobody is forcing anybody, right. These relationships are built on mutual agreements, and believe no one is putting conditions on members of these communities to join what they have been telling them all along is were they belong.

no am afraid i was not joking, the failure of the TFG finally showed me that Southern Somalis are all incorrigible dowladdiids and the sidelining of the candidates from ssc and maakhir showed me that puntland is a pie not meant to share. People have taken for granted why people of this regions left Somaliland to begin with.

lol, nonsense about the flag is will said? stop cheerleading buddy, have a point to make, make it.

why are you concerned with flippings Ibti, and no i have made a personal decision and don't see the point of you mocking that decision so explain away

haters will all ways be haters, but ur welcome would not have been welcomed anyway and gladly were i go is not dependent on fools like you

lol, they say better late then never, at least the understand now that a/yusuf far from being the obstacle they painted him as, he understood the situation far better then most.

something should be cleared and that is that too much is made of these seventeen votes. the "facts on the ground" are this: These seventeen reps from ssc had no other option but to vote that way for a few reasons. First, if we are to assume they are reasonable people, they know that they have no chance of winning the top post even with the help of the maakhirites for reasons that are obvious. What is a reasonable person to do in such a system, kill two birds with one stone and both cut a deal with someone else to ensure the second top post, get some money for it and call it a day. Instead of being outraged that this seventeen votes went that way or that, you people should be outraged about the others not voting for the third time around, someone from these regions and at the system that ensures only one of the three main communities comes out at the end of the day. We have said when hashi and cade fought for that position and here we are again with ilkajiir, salebaan and the rest.

why attack fahiye for presenting his opinion. as for his views not representing anyone, whose opinion here does because its an opinion at the end of the day.
