Bokero they are there to monetry gains that is plain for everyone. What peace do they actaully protect have u ever wondered and how do u think ther are saving Somalis from Somalis, cause if any two factions want to fight they will regardless wheather AMISON is there or not.

Why can't the the writer not make it clear, he has issues with H clan title in the name of the orginisation ( which i agree with ), but i don't see why their role needs to attacked or even be changed. To date they have always took the middle ground in any dispute amongst the factions in Mogadishu and have been amongst the most vocal and respectible voice in condeming the occupation and the formost advocates for rights of those live in Mogadishu.

So are u advocating that religion should not be mixed with Politics. if so which group of people would you you want to be in charge of our affairs the Politcians or the Relegious ones.

but whar Islamic factions are at war with each other. is just the various factions use different aprroach to defeat what was the common enemy, right which is the AU.

But they claim they have enuff knowledge of the deen themselves and amongst them are learned men.

^ so u've made your judgement on them are warlords alredy, so why even bother to advice them , u should be denouncing them in that case.

Of course it has everything to do with deen, u are accusing them i.e the 'wadaado'. Now what makes u think u are in a position to judge others.

Dude/Dudutte time to laid off the 'wadaado' . Why don't u practise the deen urself and stop criticsing your fellow Muslims.

there was never a massacre when Somalis faught, yeah we fauight for 20 years if not more and the casualty level amongst the gewine civilian was always low . this is just kill kill kill policy from them and in way one can't blame thjen cause they are fighting for their lives in a country they know nothing about and they think the people will turn on those tat are attacking them but that policy this did work with the Ethpoians. if the Shariif wishes to continuen then broad support he has he must denounce these actions anad ask the AMISOM to leave altogether,

this massacre and added to what happened week before last just make the case for them to leave more stronger. Somalis fight each other, but never kill their civilians en masse.

Basically they have beef with some Italians who get their jobs. is an Italian firm and they decided to record straight from Italy rather than offer jobs to UK based people.

YES and where talking about the snow. how about a snow fight

Is Wishfull thinking that he will have a PM from his own larger tribe ( i.e the H crew ). there are other 3.5 qabiils in this formula adn sure the PM come from there, maybe someone from .5 . A for Mogadishu am sure as long as there is a strong Mayor/Governor is gonna be all good.

the Addis Ababa thing is a coicdence, there just happens to be an AU meeting. But i think he may not go there, is just too sensitive at the moment.

Therry , the new SOL representitive of the H.E Shariif Sheek Axmed ( the Sheek at the front has been dropped)

or they might not be a next PM - word is he wants to be a working President.

COSTA, i will like mine large, decaf and skinny. haraka minbiina saana

Gacmadheere not running neither.

Xasan Abshir out, or rather dicided not to run.

Here is a man to 'gets' the problem facing the Muslim world and how best to compact it. May such a leader rise from amongst us Somalis.

So why have u already lost faith in the TFG/Isbaheysiga unification, their work has not even began.

Cadaan who supports and who is against Al-shabaab purely depends along tribal lines and politics. Yesterday ( when A.Yusuf) was there his supporters were crying foul of Shabaabs and anything and anyone tat opposed him ( one even termed them Al-Kebab, he tacitly does no more ). But today those in power or soon to be do not want Al-Shababaab to spiol the party hence why they they say there is no need to fight no more. as to your 2nd question there is very little known about the motives of Al-Shababaab or who funds them. They have money tat is certain but they also have a strong madhab that means their fighters firmly beleive they are on the straight path but some have questioned theirr ulteria motives and are suspicious of the secrecy that surrounds them.

What is all the fuss here. This was deal reached by the TFG ( the 4.5 fomula ) and the IRS, an opposition arm that is based on Politics if anything else. So why does Puntland etc care about who the the IRS chooses to represent them in the new Parliment, each tribe already chose thise there wanted to represent them in the TFG and the process of selecting the memebers of the IRS cannot be based along the same lines. the IRS already made the mistake of choosing to pick their represetives in Parliment along the 4.5 rule and they did this not to ubset the balance of power.

U SHOULD have married Mrs Obama then marx
