Horn, it was not people being bombed, It was terrorist! So, are you saying rer afmadow are terrorist? I guess this is the only way to debate with you.

C/llaahi Sheekh Ismaaciil a warlord?

force is the only answer. did we learn nothing in the past 16 years. talks do not work.

In Somali: says the Republic of Somalia In Arabic: Republic of the Somal In English: The Somali Republic This should be changed.

Yoonis, people here take themselfs way too serous. keep doing what you do. god knows people could use some humor.

ethiopia is leaving in few daysl, islamist are being bombed in oblivion in the forested border of southern Somalia. I don't see the defeat you speak of, please tell me.

you really do march to your own beat don't you castro. We have a lot to celebrate but what did you expect, a yearlong celebration? now is time to start considering what steps the government might and should take. half of the job is done bu there is still a lot of work to be done.

walaal itobiya ayay kaga degtee, why don't you talk about real problems?

"do you call him a terrorist for helping to install the laws of allah?" don't go all elementary and sh## on me. also, i don't call him, he is.

what was the whole piont of defeating the terrorist if they can run for president? whats up with new found simpathy for the terrorist?

shariif is a terrorist

people!!!!!! he aided and abided terrorist.

and Ali K Galaydh

and cadde muuse?

hey horn, what happened to Asha Abdalle?

could this possibly be another "change of strategy"?

But I am getting the hint that your comment was not directed towards Barre but to his clan who (some of them) are from Galguduud. Brother, I don't know where you get that hint. I don't recall saying anything about a people, I coulda swear we were talking about barre. Needless to say, I have nothing against the people who live in kismayo today, be they new comers or ancient denizens: The more, the merrier, if you ask me. Now going back to what we were talking about, you have refuted what I have said with only "you don't know". appearently, neither do you. There are a lot of thinks i don't but one thing i know is that Barre is not from kismayo. wither he was born gelaadi or cabudwaq, i can't tell but trust his somewhere in between those two.

in our march towards democracy (One man or woman, one vote), will these miniroties get less seats in parliament and the cabinet if not for this formula?

no one si told your half. It simply means they 30 seats in parliament, more then the ever had. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also you all seem agree that it is wrong, agian what formula would be right? its easy to piont fingers but can anyone come up with a better system? Also, woman are not part of the "others" MMA. Atleast 12% from each clan has to be female. sadly, the carte formula of 25% was better. that is were we should disagree with this formula but .5 makes sense to. serously, how many Bajuni and Bantu Somalis are there?

It is flawd and will be replaced by district based parliment in which each district in Somalia will get representatives, at the local parliment, councilors and the federal one ya generale, if we go back to that, will we not return to "Marna Rashid marna Rizaq, waxa kale ma roote ba"?

fashista, clan and tribe are not the same. this is one of basic facts that does not require a dictionary. If you insist however here it is according to basic search answer.com clan:A division of a tribe tracing descent from a common ancestor A tribe: Tribe: A unit of sociopolitical organization consisting of a number of families, clans, or other groups who share a common ancestry and culture and among whom leadership is typically neither formalized nor permanent. A political, ethnic, or ancestral division of ancient states and cultures, especially: Any of the three divisions of the ancient Romans, namely, the Latin, Sabine, and Etruscan. Any of the 12 divisions of ancient Israel. A phyle of ancient Greece.

guray, please let me tell you, you need not ever give me medical advice! Secondly, His "Home" is somewhere in galgaduud. If, however, you cought that ubiquitous diseases that has been lately going around SOL forum which makes people believe that they can argue or write their wishs or opinion into reality, type away as you like.

ya salaaam! Few corrections: Somalia does not have tribes but clans. Somali is A tribe. It is correct that we have four major clans and minorities that never had any representation before carta. AS for the reason behind it, if you have followed the events in Somalia sense, however small, you would not have asked such a question. why start now. Some of you are like the democrats: Opposition with a salution. If not 4.5, what should it be. perhaps 5.0?

Naxar, unlike Morgon and Aweys, Barre went back to his home I did not know he went back to dusamareeb.

serously red sea, I am concerned for your mental health. We get it, you do not see the government.
