^^ 80 hand picked by moryaans is even worse.

Wa runtii Naxar, oo lacagta wuu shaqaystay Geedi, waayo wuxuu la dagaal galay Alqaeda iyo Argagaxiso, soo mahan? Really, if it was up to me geedi deserves a house and more for what he is doing, be it fighting terrorist or leading the government.

Because..umm...Somalia,has no functioning money making institution(s). could institutions be really the only source geedi could have got money from to buy a house in kenya?

The Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) did something that many before them had tried and failed. They brought peace and security from complete chaos and total violence in areas under their control in southern and central Somalia after July 2006. For the first time in fifteen years children could go to school safely and hospital's could treat the sick instead of wounded. And with no gunmen on the streets to charge truck drivers fees for safe passage food prices dropped. Sure Mogadishu was better off under these religious warlords, but have they not destroyed the stability of other regions? They attacked the government which acknowledged the good work they did in the capital. They attacked central regions that were peaceful like Hiiraan . They attacked Puntland which is wrong in some many ways that need no explanation. they have strengthened selective warlords from their clans that were oppressing other clans such as indo. They attacked Kismayo. They empowered ignorant wadaads who instead of helping these people recover, talked about what offenses merited amputations and beheadings. they put little disillusioned children in the front lines of a meaningless war and a war on peoples culture that included bombing and shooting children watching soccer. forgive me if I don't see any "Pacification" in this program. But perhaps with Somalia's history of inter-clan violence an extreme faith in the country's religion is needed to supersede the tribal traditions of warlord rule. Simply not true and is similar to telling a burning man what he needs is more fire. Puntland and Somaliland make 60% if not more of what is Somalia and their success had nothing to do with religious extremism. It is a farce to expect rival warlords and clansmen cobbled together in Kenya as the TFG to govern Somalia without any unification , after years of inter-clan violence. The UIC is of course made up of rival clans but they have their extremist belief in the Islamic faith in common, giving them a unity which they have proven capable of governance. How ignorant to suggest that the members of government and delegates who formed this government could have nothing in common and that the religious extremism that members of the courts had was more binding! simply put, members of the government have a lot more in common, for good or for bad like restoring our statehood but few bad apples are inevitable. The view that only extremism could unite people is a very cynical world view. At any rate Somalis have a history of anger against foreign forces on their soil , as they showed with protests at the outset of the Ethiopian invasion. Their feelings toward the foreign intervention were displayed again in Mogadishu Mar 21., as an angry mob of militiamen and civilians, including women burned the bodies of uniformed soldiers and dragged their corpses through the streets in barbaric jubilation. never has the conflict that has engulfed southern Somalia been about foreign intervention. Any suggestion of it can only mean that it is being used as a red herring to draw attention away from the central source of the conflict. Too many people avoid the causes of the state of our nation and have nothing to say but some nonsense about Ethiopia this and Ethiopia that. People, the government was attacked and you do not attack someone and tell them how they should defend them selfs. That we have people in the north who used to say "the boy born in Addis is closer to us then the one born in Mogadishu" all the sudden care about an Ethiopian "invasion" should really leave little doubt as to the real cause driving the anti Ethiopia group.

N/AA: Even in a foreign nation with donated third world aid money? how did you determine where the money come from? Walaal, in school, they teach me to work with facts and not exaggerations or beliefs. ^Possibly baacnimo. That "baacnimo" is the only thing you can add is truly baacnimo.

he is the prime minister for God sake. Isku xeshooda! Who else but Somalis would question their head of government for being able to buy a house?

my god!!!! What savages. Every time I hear about mayd being dragged through the streets, I know its those daymn Somalis. I haven,t even heard other Africans do this.

The king is first, followed by the suldaan, garaad etc. and they all are inherited. One correction Sakhar. Suldaan is a general title for all ranks. Boqor is king, Graad is prince and an ugaas is like a grand duke and islaan is like a count. If you need more info about the hierarchy of the clan family we can not and shall not mention, look at pastoral democracy by I.M. Lewis. On anothor note, for the people who have been downplaying the importance of these monarchs, they do serve an important role in Somali society. Persuasive ability has always been the real source of any suldaan power. How effective and how much they control depends on their ability rather then rights that come with the title. As for the new King "King Kong", I don't know much about him and he does not seem like a suldaan that could bring this unmentionable clan closer but i don't take his political backround to mean bad. Every Suldaan is a politicion.

For the sake of their own safety, these neighborhoods should start working with the police, federal troops and piecekeepers to ensure that their neighborhoods and residents are not used as sheilds by terrorist.

forcefull disarment will not work Actually, that maybe the only way to disarm Somali people. You Know, Somalis only respond to and respect force. As far as know, though, there have not been much of disarming let alone forceful ones.

Taako, I must disaggree with you. Hirad is not giving opinion but facts. XF,I honestly don't know were this great writer is "Illogical". Without doubt, he is the most logical of all writers I have ever seen on this forum. Needless to say, if you will accuse the men of such a sin, please show it for I do not see it. please, don't let the hatred of people/persons or even love of them, cloud your jadgment! In the covaluted political crises that is Somalia, the TFG's steps have brought us closer to statehood then any other attempt before. That is not lighting a candle but ericting a beacon of light in a dark and violent sea.

woow, of all the things wrong with this forum, you guys find aproblem that these people are concise? how about the name of this thread?

Nacalatulah calaa kuli Dabo-dhilif! This is some funny ish, really! Anywyas, you said your objective is to fight,or something along those lines, all the enemies of Somalia? Did you ever think that you might be a crazy guy and the real enemy of Somalia? Its ganna be ok, take it easy AU.

as for the witers, freedom comes with responsibility. Being a journalist does not mean a license for Character assassination.

How connected are they?

Somali first lady visit Kuwait's Scientific Center KUNA (Kuwait News Agency) RELATED NEWS » Rafsinjani's spouse visits Kuwait's Scientific Center on Sunday 16Apr06 » Prince Al-Walid bin Talal in Beirut 10Jun03 KUWAIT, March 4 (KUNA) -- The Spouse of visiting Somali President visited on Sunday Kuwait Scientific Center which is affiliated to Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Science. The Somali First Lady got acqauainted with what the Center was offering and the message it was conveying to spread knowledge, history and preservation of heritage and environment.

MRS, I am told that the attackers in Caynaba district wore the Somaliland Army Uniform. Would that not be a Somaliland attack? And was not what happened recently in Xudun a Somaliland attack?

^^^ Abdullahi Yusuf is what he says he is. Who the hell are u to tell him what he is? People, when you can not agree, agree to disagree. No Somali can say what they are without basing it on what they believe or what information their parents passed onto them from their ancestors. Somalis, without a doubt, are a group of people from different origins. Maybe they have Arab ancestry or *** or Oromo, or Persion or bantu or hebrew or portugese.....yet we can all agree we are Somalis, what the hell a "Somali" is, God knows. Our Preisdent should not be ashamed of his ancestory, no matter what it is. Please get a life besides calling the president names, You don't like him, we get it for the love of God but get that you don't have to like him.

This is because at root Somalia's conflict is still driven by clan politics: The transitional government is dominated by ****** Statements like this real damage the creditablity of an opinion artcle. It is a fact that no one clan dominates the federal government. How then can we take anything he says serious? The Method used by the Government, Ethiopia and America is now a model for dealing with terrorist. Local coalitions are far better in defeating these sort terrorist organizations then the experiments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Its seems that sool is being attacked from South, east west and north. "Somaliland" in the Cayn and Erigavo district and other puntlander from the hawd and nugaal. though I expected this hostility from "Rer Somaliland" and Don't get this new hostility from "Rer puntland".
