Outplayed and clearly outmaneuvered, secessionists issue legal threats against bigger regional powers :D

Baki of the SFF said many of the youth from south and central Somalia were for the first time playing football without being afraid of shells or bullets - "a new thing for many". Emberor: I am rooting for Calanley, if they lose I am for Benaadir, if they come short, I am for Mudug, if they come short I am for the boys from Somalia's commercial hub

SOMALIA: All to play for in unifying football tournament Teusday 21 Dezember 2010 One of the football teams participating in the tournament in Garowe, Puntland NAIROBI - Holding a football tournament with teams from 15 regions of Somalia is an achievement in itself - but the organizers hope it will do more than only bring players together. "The footballers taking part in the tournament have never known a unified Somalia; this is an opportunity for them to interact," Abdirashid Hassan Baki, the deputy president of Somalia's Football Federation (SFF), said. "We hope the tournament will also boost peace and reconciliation in our country." Somalia has been embroiled in conflict since 1990, with more than 1.4 million displaced and 600,000 refugees in neighbouring countries. The UN estimates more than two million Somalis need humanitarian assistance. “The fact that we are even holding this football tournament for the first time since 1987 is in itself an achievement. This, to me, is a miracle and a beginning for peace and reconciliation. This is sport at its best. It reminds me of the ‘ping-pong’ between China and the US [when the US and China started their rapprochement under Richard Nixon]." At least 290 young Somali football players are taking part in the 20-day tournament, which opened on 15 December in Garowe, capital of the autonomous region of Puntland. It is jointly organized by Puntland, northeastern Somalia and the SFF for Somali youths from 15 of Somalia's original 18 regions. Somalia has, over the years, split into three distinct areas. What was the northern region of Somalia is now the self-declared republic of Somaliland, the northeastern regions are now the autonomous regions of Puntland and the south and central are controlled by the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and large parts of it by Islamist Al-Shabab and Hisbul Islam groups. Baki said many of the players came from regions controlled by different groups "but they all allowed them to come and participate". Emotional opening Abdisamad Sheikh Hamud, a footballer representing Nugal region of Puntland, told IRIN the tournament's opening ceremony was very emotional for many players. "There were a lot of people crying, mostly the older people who could remember [a unified] Somalia," Hamud said. "It is the first time for the majority of us to attend anything that brought Somalis together. We all felt like true Somalis. No clans or regions." Hamud said the tournament was an opportunity "to meet young people like us from across Somalia, who we may never have met otherwise. I hope to make lifelong friends." Ahmed Egal Awale, the Puntland deputy minister of sports, said most of the tournament's participants were born after the collapse of the Somali state in 1991. "It is their first experience of an all-Somali affair. Today in Garowe you will see youth from Mogadishu or Baidao, with others from Nugal or Sool. I don’t think they ever thought they would get such an opportunity. "I have no doubt that this will contribute to peace and reconciliation in our country. It is bringing us together. It is a wonderful feeling." Baki of the SFF said many of the youth from south and central Somalia were for the first time playing football without being afraid of shells or bullets - "a new thing for many". Source: IRIN

Interesting development. This is what Somalia needs.

This is nonsense. K-12 students of Somali origin alone number in 15 thousands in the state of Minnesota. And that is only by those families who checked Somali as the language spoken at home when they filled the school forms. Somalis in Minnesota are at least in the 100K +.

I thought this was about how alshabaab brought stability to vast regions, NN. A lot of regimes kill innocent people and still preside over stability. Killing innocent people is a matter of justice/injustice…stability on the other hand is a measure of one’s authority and effectiveness to impose regime of laws where people fear the consequence. There are a lot of areas alshabaab organization behaves like toddlers but in the area of law and order they are adults with depth and complexity.

Frist off, thanks for the upgrade. It was about time to bring 2001 web features to something close to 2011. I was able to log in by using my xiinfaniin display name, and NOT my user name which I would normally use. That was a minor inconvenience. The upgrade was not without drawback however. To begin with, please bring back following symbols/features: The She-Camel and her offspring logo The sorting by last posted/updated War ciddii wax tabaysaay halkaan kusoo qora idinkuna

That alshabaab brought stability to certain areas is a FACT. One can interpret what that fact entails, whether the stability they brought to Merca, Baydhabo, and Kismayo is sustainable, but the existence of such stability should not be a moot point.

His is a philosophical take on the ownership of information…he seems to think that no one has ownership of information, and the goal of getting it justify the means (including stealing from the source). He is not challenging only today’s supper powers; he is going beyond that it appears as he begin to lay his eyes on corporations and their secrets and confidential information. We may like what he did out of curiosity and our desire to know what we think are geopolitical discussions but the end result of his ideas when stripped to its core is nothing more than chaotic.

^^It does not matter, or does it, who funded the anti piracy forces. Fact remains it is a good investment for Somalia

^nuune was trolling I am not.

^^Of course I am trying to veer the topic to what i think is the real contention about your assertion. It is not deg-deg, it is a calculated strategy

^^Oodweyne as ever is holding the secessionist fort Your assessment of today (2010) is not that much different than your assessment of 7 years ago (2003). In other words, we are looking at the same data, but because of your biases and separatist beliefs, you are drawing far-reaching conclusions than I am.
