Am getting news that the traitor has died at last in italy. can anyone confirm this news? I am afraid whats dead is your sanity.

some of you seem to be sore losers if ever so any. You were the cheer leaders of those terrorist and etrimemist yet want to speak speak to us about the lose of life. Where was these concerns when the courts were killing prisoners of war. The truth of the matter is this people, there were no lose inocent life. Someone who went to go fight the government of a nation and got shot in the process, should have been shot regardless of war or no war. And this Ethiopian thing, you can chant it to your death beds but it will not make an ounce of difference. Cimamadley got an *** whuppin calami ah and I for one could not be happy. For all of you getting ready to becoming the whores of ethiopian troops, Addis will be very happy to take you in and we will be happy to be rid of you.

woow, some people seem a little upset. Hey, the fighting is taking place in somalia not Somaliaonline. By the why, numskull kabiir, it does not mean one thing but what I am trying to explain to you, you need go back to school you simpleton. By the way, I am not related to barre to the gene pool you speak of is million times better then the dog genes that make up yours. Suldaanka, you id**t, Your "Country" has been the wh**re of Ethiopia and the weakist country in the world: ya booty. Why are trying to block now?

cade muuse also spoke about taking some of the UIC fighters to the Gulf for treatment and asked the hospital in galkacyo to treat every fighter the same. Do they not know that this weak response is what encouraged these poeple to begin with?

You are the real lier and munafiq, I can confirm this from my neighbor who loost in this masacre hear ancle and two of her cousins who come from UK to fight against the xabashis, my Allah be pleased with them. its not a massacre if you march to your death. What did these people think when they came from the UK to fight against the Somali government. I was very desappionted when I heard that the deputy minister of defense say we will take to "xananet". I for one think Government forces should be authorised to shoot every treasonous fighter.

you are a silly man. The ethiopians are assisting federal troops at the requist of the government unlike other foreign fighters. What part of that is difficult to understand.

Red sea, are you still a Somalilander. If not, I too will join the courts.

if only posting it here on somaliaonline would get you terroist land back.

martionsba ha lagu keena, naga da hebel ama hebel ba xalka qabsadeye, frontlinka iska xaaderi.

wale xabashi bey kaga degtey red seayow.

suldaanow, eydaasi islanimo iyo geesinemo waxba ka garan mayane, naga da dee. So ka ma mid tihid kuwi aron jirey dal, deen iyo daqan tona la ma waadagno Somalia?

of what relevence is your response, do u ever ask yourself. Saying ethiopian can do this or that only wastes your time and website space.

I don't think it matters who it was. What matters, camiir, is what the purpose of it was. If it militarily weakens the jihadis, it was a good action to take but sense the government closed Somali airspace, I don't know how the bombing help.

Taliban:"global Islamic insurgency ". Taliban, I hope your not in the US or I would report you to homeland security and you would spend the rest of your filthy life in Getmo because thats where people who think like you belong. red Sea, according to you there is no Somalia and you have spent the better part of your life arguing for why there should not be a united Somalia, so I cann't honostly understand what you are getting worked up about. None the less, for the sake of your sanity, I hope what you have said are coming from an invented forum character rather then your real view of things.

you guys get really excited about irrilevent things. It a science because its classified so.

Cowardly and xaninyo (its xiniiyo by the way)don't you have anything better to add to these discussion then your retarded response?

Meedey Dowladee Taagta Darned? Where is the weak government? Few supporters of international terrorist and their Somali hosts/warlords and religious fanatics have been endlessly boosting about the copture of southern towns and villages by the ICU who have turned a people's upriesing into land grabbing campaign. Shamelessly using religion and whatever propganda would work on inocent Somalis in the South, their sweep was unopposed for the most part. Only one other entity, the legal entity, Transitional federal government was left to oppose them. The TFG, despite being unable to upsurb the UIC because of the delecat balance of power within the government between clans and because this upsurbtion would invalidate its charter, made every possible means to negotiate with the UIC, sending the preisdent, prime minister and speaker of parliament to a conference with out a single top member of this illigel entity. For reasons we are all aware of, depending on wich side of the fence we're seating on, talks between the two entities irreparably collapsed. The UIC resorted to propaganda, attacks, threats, itobiyanki ba soo socda and daily calls for jihad against the government and its neighboring allies. Most impoartantly, they did their best to piant the government weak, Yet they were really the weak ones parading children and woman with guns everyday and sending children to fight the war they have started. the war is far from over but one thing is pretty clear: The UIC is being defeated on every front. Puntland has coptured bandiiradley, Gelinsoor and has now surronded the UIC militias in cadado and talking with them about how to surrender. The entire region of Hiiran has been coptured by the TFG appionted governer and federal troops with exception of buule burte which the good sheikhs decided was not worth the fight. Government troops have coptured idaale and pushed the UIC militias first from daynuunay, then to moode moode and now to the outskirts of diinsoor. The Government has closed Somali airspace, borders and sea. To drive this home, Ethiopian MIGs helping the Somali government have bombed to airports under the control of the UIC. So, were is the weak government that some have you based all your theories on?

Are sick, and evil tribalistic-minded loser who takes every chance they get to enforce their tribal bigotry. At a time, when your fellow Somalis are involved at a decesive battle against the Dowladdiid and Somali peace, the least you can do is to let your tribal bigotry take a back seat and if nothing else take a neutral stand. However, sick people like yo'll have no values and principles and it is evident by your desire to see the defeat of your fellow countrymen who are the only people who are woking to bring about a real dowlad. Shame on you, and may God help you people see the world beyond your Tribal lens. May God help our people against our enemies within and may the Somali Patriots previal. Death to Clan Courts and their Somali stooges!!!! i could not agree with you more rad but I think you forget one thing. they are either sick or ******. one last thing about those who say they don't support the government because its based on clan are also just as ******. I have never seen a more illigical arguement then this. You support a one clan program but oppose one that includes all the clans of the country. this ethiopian or habasha or tigrey excuse is also tired. they level this accusation at the government yet some how miss the simalrity between the habasha supporteer of the government and the habasha that supports the courts. this is the only difference, one is aiding a government while the other is aiding a terrorist organization. One is trying to support regional stapability while the othe other is not. One is trying to help the somali people and the other wants anarchy and to overthrow the legitimate government. how about you guys take a crack at that.

this is some funny ish. you are surrendering in an online forum? both the puntland president and the Somali president were just sipping tea with eu officials, we are long, long way from either side surrendering, trust me. By the way, you should have known by now of the courts endless lies about capturing this or that. Don't believe the hype tell they show some pictures and take journalist.

I am assuming godo-godo is the reporters nickname and he signed "abuu Godo-godo" to make fun of all the abuu in xamar.

"abu godo godo"

Ethiopias economy according to the world factbook Economy - overview: Ethiopia's poverty-stricken economy is based on agriculture, accounting for half of GDP, 60% of exports, and 80% of total employment. The agricultural sector suffers from frequent drought and poor cultivation practices. Coffee is critical to the Ethiopian economy with exports of some $156 million in 2002, but historically low prices have seen many farmers switching to qat to supplement income. The war with Eritrea in 1998-2000 and recurrent drought have buffeted the economy, in particular coffee production. In November 2001, Ethiopia qualified for debt relief from the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, and in December 2005 the International Monetary Fund voted to forgive Ethiopia's debt to the body. Under Ethiopia's land tenure system, the government owns all land and provides long-term leases to the tenants; the system continues to hamper growth in the industrial sector as entrepreneurs are unable to use land as collateral for loans. Drought struck again late in 2002, leading to a 2% decline in GDP in 2003. Normal weather patterns late in 2003 helped agricultural and GDP growth recover in 2004-05.

olol, you must be mistaking beautiful for another word maybe. We all know xamar was the most beautiful Somali city anywhere, but this bictures realy don't come close to the xamar we all know. Its really sad. Inshallah, it will be again but just because you support the shaikhs, we must not be blind to realty and the current state of our nominal capital.

Qabiil based adminstrations are impediment to somali unity as they put more emphasis on their turf/clan interests than they do on the larger issues facing the country. Yet qabiil based courts are better? Jaahilnemo heer laga gaarey! who ever heard of courts ruling or administering. People, this a basic breakdown of administration and law: One makes the rules or laws, another interprets them and a third one adminsters them. Only in Somalia can you get a president, a primeminister, a self-appionted justice and a parliament speaker all trying to president.
