Hornka! Finally you came up with perfect AVATAR, which is suitable with your belief. I liked it.

I was watching the game life and immediately sense something wrong with that guy. At the same time i have learnt that MALAK'UL MA'WIT is everywhere.

(AP) President George W. Bush waded more deeply into Africa's political and military strife Thursday, calling for Liberian President Charles Taylor to cede power as promised, and for an interim government in Congo in the next four days. "The cycle of attacks and escalation is reckless, it is destructive and it must be ended," Mr. Bush said ahead of his Africa trip next month. "We must build peace at the heart of Africa." He charged that the "freedom and dignity of a nation is under assault" in Zimbabwe, facing its worst economic and political crisis since independence in 1980. President Robert Mugabe won last year's elections, which independent observers say were marred by state-orchestrated political violence, intimidation and vote rigging. "I urge all nations, including the nations of Africa, to encourage a return to democracy in Zimbabwe," Mr. Bush said. He also announced $100 million in new U.S. aid to combat terrorism at the continent's airports and seaports. In a speech to a group representing American investors in Africa, Mr. Bush urged the establishment by June 30 of a transitional government in Congo, and asked leaders of neighboring governments to actively support the creation of an integrated national army. Congo's nearly 5-year-old war has killed 3.3 million people, most through war-induced famine and disease, according to aid groups. Mr. Bush also emphasized the importance of achieving a peace agreement in Sudan, where civil war broke out 20 years ago and has claimed more than 2 million lives. "The north and south must finalize a just and comprehensive peace agreement," Mr. Bush said. He said he would return his special envoy, John Danforth to Sudan in two weeks. "He will make clear the only option on the table is peace," Mr. Bush said. "Both sides must now make their final commitment to peace and human rights and end the suffering Sudan." Mr. Bush chose to speak out on some of the bloodiest, longest conflicts in Africa in advance of his five-day trip starting July 7. In the hours before his address, angry crowds laid out bloody, broken bodies of shelling victims at the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia, Liberia, accusing U.S. Marines and the United States government of failing to protect trapped people from fighting that has overrun the city. Taylor renounced his pledge to cede power Friday under a new peace accord, a move that sparked new violence in Liberia's 3-year civil war. Just days after the deal got under way with a fragile cease-fire, Taylor, a former warlord indicted for war crimes, said he intended to serve out the six months remaining in his term and perhaps run for re-election. "President Taylor needs to step down," Mr. Bush said to applause from the crowd, "so that his country can be spared further bloodshed." Mr. Bush gave no hint he intended to offer U.S. military assistance in any of the countries, as some outsiders have pleaded for. He announced a new $100 million initiative to increase security at airports and seaports in Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and Tanzania. "We will give them the tools and resources to win the war on terror," Mr. Bush said. Mr. Bush offered a lengthy overview of administration efforts to combat AIDS and hunger in Africa, the centerpiece a new law authorizing a tripling of U.S. funds for fighting AIDS in 12 African and two Caribbean countries. "My message today, and my message when I go to the continent, is you are not alone in the fight," Mr. Bush said. The five-year, $15 billion program still needs congressional approval, and Mr. Bush asked for lawmakers' support. For the second time in a week the president also accused Europe, without singling out any nations, of worsening hunger in Africa by closing its markets to genetically modified the food. "The ban of these countries is unfounded, it is unscientific, it is undermining the agricultural future of Africa, and I urge them to stop this ban," Mr. Bush said. Mr. Bush travels starting July 7 to Senegal, South Africa, Botswana, Uganda and Nigeria. It is a less ambitious trip than he had planned for January, before postponing it because of the looming Iraq war. And it is far smaller in scale than the trip some of his advisers at the National Security Council had urged Mr. Bush to undertake. Stops in Kenya and Mauritius were dropped. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/06/26/politics/main560560.shtml Mr. Bush, if you turn your eyes to the poor people in Africa you will become a great leader of nations in the 21st century, whereas you are incompitant; therefore; you wont be one. God bless the Whole world espcially Africa, perticularly SOMALIA !

It is sad to see such instablity just because of one person's point of view. If the majority of somalilander dont support to reunite with the south, why is Reyaale and his current government so insecure about? :confused: I wonder what Reyalee would do if he is removed from his presidancy? Dont you think he would denounce the secession the very next day on BBC?

Honestly, speaking affirmative is unfair. It is a reverse descrimnation. Also, one thing i ademintly oppose is how the IVY league system uses the so call lagacy family. It is like this, if you have a parent who graduated from IVY league you will automatically grated the enterance (privillge). That is how BUSH admitted to YALE. Imagine, had such system put to end, where would Bush be now? Also, how his IQ would be? :confused:

and btw the eskimos is a word that my mate uses to describe the people who live in the ogadeen. There you go again, I thought Name calling was prohabited LYNX. Try to keep that poor stereo typing to your mates SBX. Dont bring it here because it wont fly.

Grinov wrote extreme profanity should have only been banned , not qabiil politics. SXB! Qabiil is prime reason for somali division and hatred toward each other, which cause the obstcle that we as a society enduring at this moment. Advocating to promote a qabiil based debate and idology is undesirable and worth far less of our time.

LS! They have been, there done that and failed in every attempt. No reason to spaculate they will succeed this time. This Natural resouce belong to somali people who are suffering. Specially at the time when people are at thier highest pick sensitivity. lets see how far this deal goes.

The latest clash was triggered when 28-year-old Terrance Shurn was killed Monday after losing control of his motorcycle following the chase by Benton Harbor Police. The chase exceeded 100 mph , according to police. Who's fault is it? the cops or the thug who was running 100mph? :confused: Why doesnt he stop? I dont see any wrong doing here by the cops.

Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. And you don't have to keep them either. They keep you. We somali should learn obey respect the rules. This is our place and lets make it a healthier place that one can enjoy and learn at the same time. Sure the are and will be a difference whereas lets solve it in a professional manner.

OG Girl its not lack of education that kept you sleey in class, as see it could be lack of motivation or not understanding the value of education.

OG! awowga lagub! I will take to a considration. Thanks for the head up!

Good Job Bari, Such a stroy is what we as SOL member need the most. Anyways keep it up sxb.

Mujahid! WOW!! Time indeed is running. I recall and seems like yesterday when we had all the great and studious confuabluation that we had in chat room. You are one of the few good "senior" people who is not disappeared. Therefore, i suggest, one of these rooms should be named after you at list. How is that?

Interesting point Darman! As a nomad, i believe one has to concentrate on the core issue, which is "what cause this problem". Knowing the couse of the problem is half of your answer. Therefore, i do concentrate on the problem. Fii amani'illah

A as this topic will not just sully this site whereas, will deteriorate its quality. Ironically, such a smear technique wouldn't fly.

I sure will do that. Thanks

I sure will do that. Thanks

First of all, well come and be our guest, let me know if you are coming to Sillicon Valley, so I can role the “red carpet”. Lady, for some reason they kept posting that “mouth watering” add, which is irresistible. Whereas, the reality is far from being that. Certainly, it is a perfectly a norm or trend of economy fluctuation. Have you heard “what goes up must come down”. Every Economist knows that something is wrong with the dotcom boom. Not to mention, how fast it bobbled. Is there a hope? Hmmm …one has to be optimistic at all times. Slowly but surely it is recovering. It is a matter of time and being patient. At the same time, enhance your knowledge, since one has to be effective + competent enough. As a Muslim we have to trust ALLAH and be optimistic. Fii amani'illah

LOOOOL!! HIBO, I love the SWOT anaysis! Beautful and well-thought out. My immediate cosine who married from Middle East is now in a "big mess" or "doqoo". I like specially the when you decribe the.. Threats : 1. Change in attitude after arrival in the west 2. Unknown past behaviors 3. Susceptible to mental disorder due to the war traumas (Somalia) 4. Great possibility of marriage failure due to misinterpretation of freedom Believe me nomads it is REAL

Money is one of the most important thing in this word. Without money we break down into more primitive again. Honestly speaking how many of you believe that money rule your/our life. How much influence does it have in our society, in particular (Somali). Lets here nomad’s point of view.

Afrique Tnx for this wonderful and enligthening piece of article. Keep up the digging to the truth and the good work SXB.
