Well the public opinion is firmly with Shariif right nown and he had the right rhetoric from the start, is substance and vision that he lacked and that is what caused this mayhem right now, basically his talk and action ( or rather in inaction )did not always agree. Yes Alshabaab, Aweys etc is not the answer to solve the Somali issue but Shariif right now there is no laternative, is catch 22 for the ordinary Somali, a Shariif goverment to remain as it means the Shabaab & co will continue to oppose them ( more murders and clashes ), victory to Islamists will mean a Taliban style Somalia which result in foreign armies arriving to outst them. Either scenerio will mean more Somali bloodshed. There must be another way and inshallah we will stike the right formula sooner rather than later.

There is no way through this, the untimate decision will lie with the TFG sponsers, either they help him by sending more firepower and troops to 'crush' the Shabaas and co. ( as Zenawi would have said ). Or the Shariif somehow miraclously makes deal witht the Shabaabs & co and his Sponsers agree to it ( this is the only option that suits the Somali people ) the Shabaabs win before re-inforcements come and Shariif government collabes but give 6 months and anotehr war will begin to topple the Shabaab goverment.

Is more heartache to come? Are we to be the Afghanistan of this world and suffer occopation after warlords after Mullahs then back to occupation or like ther Pelestines and be banished from out lands forever? Will another generation be born and die while this choas still persists? AND what is the answer to this SOMALI problem?

What differnce are they form Sheikh Shariif and his wing ( his supporters ), they wanted all out, ethos, UNISOM, th parliment , warlords all of themm .. that his is sitting on the throne i suppose he wants all to stay.

^ u did not know, never read the Quraan? 'yaa ayuhal Munaafiquun ' P.S did this guy got his girl in the end.

Israel criticism sparks UN walkout Who dares crtisizes Isreal

Also risk to breathing, brain damage, so we are better off shooting each other.

As a neutrol it was a pleasure to watch. Am sure the whole world wanted Liverpool to pull off the impossible, not just to overturn a 1 - 3 first leg loss but to do it all over again once they have gone 2-3 down. Chealsea minus Lampard and Drogba woulld have folded in that game. Well done Liverpool, am sure Barca wanted to play Chelski.

Would anyone blame the pirates if they started shooting a hostage or two.

So whats the solution, how do u stop 'them' and their 'plans'. In other words sidii loga hortagi karaa.

^ Instead of Sujuudis why don't u follow her foot steps and out do her. I think the above said advice is correct since she woman is a divorcee. But in saying that as children we are meant to heed our parents advice, afterall Jannah is at the feet of our mothers. Maybe there was a perfectly valid reason why the Mother did not want her duaghter to get hitched to particalar or that at time.

Is a TV show so the entertainers and dram queens/kings will go long way.

but one can slightly symphtise with theese 'unedecated' South Africans, the place is already though and is a 'dog eat dog' situation. The the Somalis came and made a success of themselves so the Black South African got envious and are making sure tat they drive the Somalis away. With time the Somalis will become like the Nigerians and b feared. They also maybe need to get to the know thier attackrs better, like why are they are picking on the Somnalis and sort the misundersandings.

well actaully i doupt $1 Trillion in cash actually exists.

Maybe his mate txted him to let him know Arsenal won the Champions League for the 1st time and cannot admit to her that he was secretly txting his mate enquiring about the progress of the more significant game that he was missing out.

Tt has to be agreed that the 08/09 Premier title race is over. Any scousers or Chelskis out there thinking there is chance give up and plan for next season. The real battle will be for 2nd spot between Chelski and 'can't handle the pressure' Scousers. and a more interesting battle for 4th spot ( I want the scouser to get it )between the amerging power of Villa and Wengers' babies ( conme on Villa cause Arsenal need to finish 5th as a wake up call )

Juje you are missing the point, lebelling Shabaab as 'blood sucking killers' is not being rational nor seeking the common ground you speak of. I beleive that the new TFG is reaching out to them and the Shariif has made all the right moves thus far but a 'wasiir' there and a Hildhibaan spot would have made them come close. P.S Is the work of Muqaawamiin ( Shaabaabs being a significant player )that forced the Ethos to talk and eventually leave the nation, without it they would still have ruled Somalia to this day.

I think most are showing their true colours these days by demeaning Al-Shabaab and utterlly dismissing the struggle and sacrifices they have made for Somalia. Since their 'people' are in power now they beleive the disarming and disbanding of Al-Shabaab is a must and they are using the same tactics used by the former TFG supporters by lebelling the Shabaabs and anyone against their politics as Nabad-diid and killers. Is one thing being against their ideology but deaming them in this fashion shows most of you guys have short memory.

or maybe he got bored of the one @ home.

I think Amiin needs a rival.

Money is not enuff for the long run success United have enjoyed over the years, i would say 90% is down to the management style of Alex Fergusson he just knows whow to bring the best out of his players. Wenger is about principles, he sticks to his footballing Philosophy but it has now been proved that sexy footbal ( total football ) does not win trophies but entertains the crowd ( Netherlands of 70s is a great prove of that ) but in saying that Ajax of the earlly 90s did welll with their Total football.

Stats don't win trophies. UNITED best team in UK bar far

Juje is think is fair to say the title is misleading, in no way does it imply that is an Amiin Cartoon tat the reader will get once they click it. Is not like you to post misleading titles so perhaps u should revise it thats all.

At least they are in class room learning something. If the Faroole caused fuss i think the Shabaab should cry foul too. P.S the topic title is very mesleading, i was actually looking forward to a long article with regard to the teachings and ideology of Al-Shabaab.

And since when did the CIA/UN figures became realiable bal. the real figures will never be known in this climate. To think of it i think it will be easy to do a censcus for us Somalis , thats the real use of Qabiil wil come into play, Qolo kaste is soo tira kooba lee dhahaa.
