If I am not wrong, of all the puntland provinces, Sanaag is most neglected one. And of all provinces, this is one the president knows best because he used to be its governer.

good!

instability can not be tolerated now. Perhaps another time, he would be ok as PL police chief but not now. More then ever, president needs be heavy handed in dealing with internal anarchist. getting rid of Yusuf ahmed Khayr and Cabdiwali, for me is a step in the right direction.

^^ why do you not get a jawaan of Somaliland pasports? you'll get an even better discount.

Fanisha, perhaps you should change your logo and replace it with a one of a hijabi sister. that pic you have as a logo would get you a public flogged.

you guys must not have heard about globalization. there are no different civilizations. There different cultures but civilizations anymore.

red walaal, this is not about bosaso or hargeisa thing. If you disagree with this reporting , disagree with on logical bases, not because of another case in bosaso. no group people are more disinfranchised or their right trumpled on then africans. My only concern is that this sort politically motivated reports desensatize us to real occurences of human right violations.

che, if this was done by the government, it would be not only be plausible but the burden of proof would be on the government to show people that it did not do what it is being accused of. That wadaad ismaciil for example. To me, it did not matter that this was or was not turture but the fact that someone in their custody was said to turtured on tape. It would have been easy for this people to proof that the man on the tape was not shaikh Ismaciil because they had him. Sense they did not do it, will just have to assume what they did to him was turture sense things like that be they turture or not should not have been allowed to happened. this other story falsehood, however, is very obvious. One there is no SNM and if former members of the SNM had done this at night, how does the reporter know it was SNM memebers. The think about asking help from the UIC another red flag. Lastly, though a government may keep a secret, people can not and of all people Somalis. Is one thing to accuse an administration and totally something else to accuse people.

tell that to the Thai's and they look sane people to me Of course they would, from what I can tell, you are Dowladdiid. TFG 2 years has done nothing -education ---> nothing -Healthcare --->nothing -not helping the citizens of the Somali Republic in O-gade-n instead it ignores their pleas and invites the very people that are putting them under so much hardship hyperbole kills an arguement, you know this is not true. In a federal system where regions are demanding autonomy, they must also accept some responsibility for what you accuse the government of nt addressing, which I believe it is too certian extent. Somalia has risked life and limp for our brothers in ******ia and the rest of western Somalia. Somalia is just not in a place to demand or fight for the liberation of these region. You can even argue that it was these attempts to liberate western Somalia that have brought us to where we are today. i agree and no chinese would ever allow Japanese soldiers on their soil as protection for the Chinese government Self defense is not only a sacred right but an obligation i Islam. You can attack a government and tell it how it will defend itself. It will use whatever means it has, be they Ethiopians or martions. We need a responsible government and not one that ingages in futile wars with its neighbors. The very person you attack and is leading this government has spent more then you ever will in trying liberate Western Somalis but a wise man knows not to engage in war that he knows he will not win. Courage is not only picking up a gun, my friend, but also accpeting peace with your enemies.

Who ever wrote this "Report". If you demonize Somalilanders with false reports (There is no SNM anymore)what will you say later when something real happens. hence: Beentaada hore runtaada dambe bay u daran tahay.

Beentaada hore runtaada dambe bay u daran tahay.

was this not the guy who turned one of the hopeful attemp to build a Somali government into an upportunity for clan expansion? To add this he is now a dowladdiid and a Jihadi to top it off. Wey booto badanyahen nemankan. If they want to fight Ethiopia, who stopping them. and how many jihads must you call before you take up arms and start fighting. MMA, You insult the war wadani and make it meaningless to give it to this filth.

Do you northern Somalia? yes if thats what your asking ,its now Puntland but I am from the colonial region of Somaliland.

and why do they impech the president in the usa ? why couldn't they let him finish his/her term.....becouse they are not the happy with it...two years past we need to impeach the whole goverment...if you are getting paid the UN then you need to show something ...something that you have done........you can't just elect goverment and say let them finish. there has to some consiqusense for not doing your job you impeach the president or in our case bring a motion of no confidence against his prime minister and cabinet in parliament but you don't say I don't regocnize my government or even worse commit by taaking arms against the state. Also, this is where electoral responsibility comes in, when you elect leaders, you better make sure you'll be happy with them but you can't let your stupidy couse the nation instability. Granted we have not elected president (No Somali president was)because ours is not a a direct democracy (Aside from switzerland there are none, this is what we have coloctively as nation and have been doing sense our first government. basically put, we Somalis are too whimsical. Also , the president is not paid by the UN, the Somali government is not a UN agency and does not need to show them anything. And considering the environment, is it really hard for you comprehend why the governments hand are tied concerning internal affairs?

Duke, I don't think the president should continue playing these silly games with these dowladdiid. I also don't think, however powerful, any member of government should not do things unilaterally or without consulting his government. As I see it, one of the few salutions somalis were able to figure out for the las six years is to base interim governments in a temp capital safe from the intimidation of warlords, anarchist and their like. Conditions have not changed to disregard wise advice, in fact, it has got worse because there is a more powerful enemy of the state with terroristic determination.

further more what have these anarchist your cheerleading for do? Anywhere else, fools who are reponsible for all that were wrong would not be praised stopping what they were doing to those poor people.

Xog ogaal Why would anyone recognize this government when it hasn’t done anything think for one minute about what you say. Recognition of your government (As if that is an option)is not contingent upon what it does. once you elect them, you must let finish their term, like it or not, thats how sane people function.

If Somalilanders were using the old Somali Passport, it makes no difference weather the use the new one or not, does. Either the convence other nations to accept their own or use whatever the government decide will be used. As for the courts, passports will not make a difference. If the government wants to do so, they will simply ask neighboring countries, spaicaly our second capital nairobi, to not give these people visas or even arrist them. There also more and possible means of stopping them, navel blackade, no-fly zones, check pionts, communication cut off, stoping money wiring. Sense, some of these people are on the un's terrorist list, it would be easy force other countries to comply with this isolation of extremist.

rumsfeild was not the problem but a scapegoat. Although secretary of defense may give advice, at the end of the day, he has to take the orders of the president and the cabinet. If you've heard of the "buck stops here" you know people should be angry with bush or atleast both. by the way, who of is in charge of DOD, an exit is not an option. Its sad but true that the US must at the very least continue to be a referee for this shia and sunni war.

silly people you are. this is a place where the garaad holds meetings. This meeting whose pics you have posted was about reconciling some of the sub clans of sool, not to declare a court. puntland already has courts and much, much more.

hayaay, red sea wat so degate. Somaliland controls at most a third of sanaag=ceel afweine, maidh and xiis. no, one mayor does not control ceerigabo. Somaliland mayor controls north western ceerigabo. The other neighbarhoods are controled by the other two puntland clans who live there. Might I also remind you that the comander of the Somaliland army there is from the east of Sanaag, whose protection allows somaliland to make such claims. By the way, Puntland's Sanaag capital is Badhen which has the largest population in that region. This city that you claim was established by Garaad Mohammed who was the Grandfather of Garaad Mohamoud Ali shire. The statement you make are clear indecation that this Somaliland experiment is all about dulbalarsi rather the nonesense some argue were it not for that accidental election that made reyale president. Also, who lives where or what clan inhepits where does really determine the border between Somaliland and puntland, that if we want to be honost. Again, If you can not claim Buhoodle, las anod, badhan and las qoray, why cliam ceerigabo?

jiidali is puntland village and ceerigabo will be to. You know only northwestern ceerigabo is Somaliland so why ask such sill question mr red sea? You know very will who lives in Ceerigabo. Either claim all of colonial Somaliland or none of the lands of puntland people. In my opinion, if you can't have las anod, buhoodle, Las qoray and badhan, then you can't have ceerigabo. By the way, those Badhan pics could be better and there are no pics of buhoodle.

all this talk of the president, the UIC and power here and there, Sharif is big haeded selfish opportunist who undermines not only the president but his entire government. he is second to none in spreading division among members of government and parliament when his sole job is to facilitate meetings of parliament and its day to day affairs. More then ever, this is the time for the parliament and the government to move in in unison and speak with one voice and instead of being of some use toards the meeting that goal, he has reverted back to his unilateral actions which always hinder the government. Granted such initiative should be incouraged were it not for fact that its always done unilaterally and the people he seeks to "speak with" intentions are clear and dealing with them requires a little more then I will go "speak with them". This moran should voted out of office in My opinion.

^^^ I could not agree more.

my beliefs and actions speak for dem themselves. yes and they scream terrorist. Just kidding, an anarchist.
