Do you guys want to arrest or welcome them to the city? Make up your mind JB, you and your fellow Slanders were here not long ago trying convince us that any participants in the Boocaame conference would be arrested. Also,how foolish of you Slanders trying to instigate a conflict between the people and their Garaads. you have a very low opinion of SSC people, then why fight so hard for them? again, make up your mind.

the swedes have shown they are friends of Somalia, hope @$#$#ds are arrested where ever they are.

" Saturday, February 16, 2008 MOGADISHU (AFP) - One person was wounded Saturday as mortar bombs fired by insurgents fell near the presidential palace in Mogadishu while President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed was inside, a security official said. "The shelling started hours after the president's arrival in the capital but the closest shell landed on a house near the palace area and others passed (by)," the official told AFP. "None of them hit inside the palace." A witness, Farah Hasan, confirmed that a civilian had been wounded when a mortar round hit his house. Islamist insurgents have been waging a deadly guerrilla war, mainly in the capital Mogadishu, against Somali government forces and their allies from the Ethiopian military and an African Union peacekeeping force. In another incident, the head of the capital's Daynile district, Haji Omar Haji Ali, was among five people hurt when his vehicle was blown up by a landmine, Mogadishu's deputy mayor Abdifatah Shaweye told journalists. "A land-mine blew up his car near the district he was in charge of and we arrested two suspects for the incident in which the commissioner and four others were wounded," he said. Source: AFP, Feb 16, 2008" According this, the mortars did not even hit villa Somalia and unlike the one you posted, the sources are known.

what does maakhir have to fear from puntland? To compare Maakhir to melos is simply wrong because Maakhir actually created Puntland to defend against north western aggression, Melos was not part of nor created either city states of Sparta and Athens.

For obvious reasons, its always has been Somaliland's nightmare that ONLF rebels would support Puntland in attacking Somaliland. Thats why they attack the ONLF every time they clash with Puntland but clearly they have their own problems to deal with so relax JB.

yes, an eye for an eye will leave all of blind! but sadly that is the fate of Somalia. No matter how many bukur there are,Somalis will never learn from it, matters fact, we are not the learning kind, we are bound to repeat those mistakes that have kept Somalia in the condition that it is. And yes, i don't get these thing with the shababs and the Ethios, all they seem to kill is innocent by standers, you would think that if they are beefing with Ethiopia they would go to addis or anywhere in Ethiopia. as is the case in Afghanistan and pakistan, these kinds of people (Apparently calling a terrorist a terrorist offends some in here) lose any kind of support they had from the people which is vital to their existence. I am not against reconciliation, but people, it has become pretty obvious that is not a solution in Somalia. the solution to defeat these people is in using brute force, whatever the source. as for the opposing sides or clans,one side must win with democratic elections but these futile attempt at consensus have shown not work. MMA"MMA "Soomaali waligeed isdili jirtay, boqolaal sano isleen jirtay, ka bacdina geed hoostiis xaalkooda ku kala bixi jireen, bilaa cuqdad la'aan. Maanta?" if this is the norm Somalia, is it worth saving?

this visit to wardheer region by the Isins of SSC has nothing to do with Laaska but development and security of the hawd. Be that as it may, there would be nothing wrong if the Isins, Puntland president and the president met ethiopia.

come on juje, how can you call the president a terrorist? "sxb what makes you think that you and Yeey and co. are Somali while the others you mentioned are not." I for one never claimed anyone else here was not Somali, might i also add that its you, MMA and perhaps other here who want to copyright "somalinimo". Its not about that at all. Whats disturbing is the people who try to find excuses or even worse, praise people as recently as few days murdered those poor Oromo refugees in bosaso or killed a bus full of old ladies in mogadishu. Please tell how those people are not the terrorist in the country. As for the president, like the man or hate him, he is working toward something we can all get behind: restoring our country.

it doesn't matter where the ones your getting calls are, if they are in the government, they surrendered just like those shabaabs yesterday. Am not even gonna go into the silly distinction you make between governments asking for help and what the TFG asked for but is supervision from adis your talking about? If your talking about how to defeat those dowladiids, it could bloddy well be supervised from mars so long as they are defeated. No the government has no clock, they will ensure those dowladiids and terrorist are defeated, security restored and lay foundation for restoring statehood, then and only then will "they"leave. You call the government spineless but who is left to have a spine for, few children throwing grenades who out of desperation are starting to kill innocent people like the buses they blew up in Mogadishu or the oromas in bosaso? and why do they have try to sound powerful, relative, are they not, what ever their source of power or authority?

neph: "Think about it for a minute. Why surrender to Yeey? the same Yeey who wants to execute the "terrorist groups", when they could bloody well disappear, or mix in with the civilian population? They know, and we know, that Yeey won't give them drink at honeyed fountain, nor comb their jihadist beards. I'm sure those young brave hearts would call for death before surrender." Yey bey ethenkaga degtey ee this had nothing to do with this or the federal governemnt for that matter, its the banadir administration. as for why would they surrender, the answer is simple. the market price of mogadishu children willing to carry out grenade tossing is cheap sadly (according to the UN) but the people who were giving these kids money to fight ran out of money and not something new to people in mogadsihu let alone children, to fight for the highest bidder.

Forget Duke and Abdullahi Yusuf and focus on nuur cade activites if that will persuade you jump that sinking ship of UIC, Shabaab, dowladiid and finally support your government

"No government in the world has been too weak to even walk in to its own country with out the protection of a foreign army due to lack of support inside its country." yet again, you make up your own facts, time and agian, governements have asked for the asistance of other governments. One, if they are not walking, how on earth are they moving about in Somalia, they must have a lot of segways. as for lack of support in their ow country, you most be mistaking three districts in mogadishu (mogadishu itself is 16 districts) for the whole country because what you and the rest of shabaab-********s-terrorist-warlord supporters can't comprehend is that Somalia is country and Mogadishu is one of the cities in that country. "No government in the world has used foreign army to destroy its own people." Africa is full of these kind of governments and every country having problems with pisky terrorist, but that is irrlevent because what does that have to do with the governemnt of Somalia, clearly by its people you do not mean those warlords and terrorist and "islamic courts" (another no where else fact: there is no where else in the world were self appionted religous courts tried to govern a country) "No government has ever been so weak after being militarily injected into a country (Somalia)like a poison and still being gradually spat out by the antibodies(Freedom fighters)although it had over a year of destruction inflicted on its people and millions of dollars to dust it self off." sad that you cantinue to view how ungovernable Somalia is as a TFG weakness when refects more on the country and its people then on the brave few are trying to govern it. Evidently TFG is and will always be just that "NO government" with out its people! do you mean a government without its people? am gonna assume thats what you mean because otherwise it makes no sense but either way you are wrong. How would you know anyway, do poll the people of Somalia (please give the full data if you do) or you get calls from formers warlords in mogadsihu who mistake their wishs for facts?

LOL, so telling the truth is ceeb? Listen people, the government is saying stop bombing before we do anything, the terrorist are saying get rid your allies before we stop bombing, anyone who beliefs that someone defending themselves will stop so the attacker can stop attacking him is a damn fool. Of all the demands they could be making, ask yourselves why this one. The answers is simple, they want to bomb more freely, so all you terrorist supporters, go to Mogadishu, i hear the ones there are tired and in need of break because they are surrendering to m.dheere and darwiish.

Bottom line is, he will not negotiate with terrorist and why should they, no government in the world does for a good reason: You can't negotiate with some trying to blow up or will try to do so every time you disagree with. "Surely after all the destruction inflicted on the Somali people, scratches deepened to scars, Somali blood spilled on Somali soil which sounds all too familiar but this time ONLY to the pleasure of foreign elements as they have reduced Somalis to name calling such as “al Qaida” meanwhile hoping to gain any political relevance." Its a proof of small-mindedness that you see this issue as "Somalis vs. TFG". Those ********s-of-mogadishu, warlords, anarchist, and terrorist like the UIC and Shabaabs do are not Somalia. What i don't get is all this destruction and killings are inflicted on Somali people by those very people you support (terrorist), why not attack them instead of the man who is trying to protect the people from them.

galbeyte: "^ overlooking the positive and concentrating on distorted negatives like calling it imfamous. It was infamous to outsiders like the US rangers and other invaders." We all know what God forsaken city was like, why is it that people here like to distort things. One journalist compared the city a nuclear bomb test site.

" Police say 49 insurgents surrender in Mogadishu Sunday, February 10, 2008 MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Dozens of members of an Islamist insurgent group handed themselves over to Somalia's interim government in the capital on Sunday, police said. "Forty-nine fighters from al-Shabab surrendered to the authorities in Mogadishu this morning," said a police officer who asked not to be named. He was referring to the military wing of a sharia courts group ousted from the capital last year. He gave no other details, and insurgent leaders could not immediately be reached for comment. Somalia's government and its Ethiopian allies face a persistent Islamist insurgency in Mogadishu. Rights workers say fighting in the capital killed 6,500 people last year. (Reportng by Abdi Sheikh; Writing by Daniel Wallis). Source: Reuters, Feb 10, 2008" Great news, for those who say they don't believe it, what did you want to do? continue killing people?

^why not Obama?

according to the bbc, the targets were Ethiopian refugees. If this is true, the terrorist are getting desperate, from government from peace makers and scholars to government officials and now poor refugees yet some still say there are no terrorist in Somalia.
