^^Sarcasms aside, you did imply Sharif is off to legitimize Ethiopia’s presence in the south. You reduced the entire peace effort to nothing more than a cheap political move…

Patient-doctor relationship…

^^ That was a good comeback. Ibti,very smart of you inaad Marx kasoo jeedisay Blessed. He's laser focused on you now...baxar aa ku jirtaa...

^^Cara was the cool, humanitarian, secular, feminist girl in sol. Weligeed shiddo laguma xaman. Waxaan ku jeclaa sida raggay u dhaqmi jirtey ( I know this will get me in trouble). When good Ibti announced her intentions, I didn’t believe Cara and Malika would be part of what she said she would be doing to men. To be fair there was no a good reason to think CL would be part of it either. That was that. What followed though was this Cara oo middiyo soofaysanaysa, rolling out plans to torture men…isla markiiba adaan kuu baqay AT yow ..

^^Maanta waad shiddeysantahay e ee laftigaaga yaa ku shiddeeyey adeer? Weligayba qosolkay laga shakin, ee maxaad rabtaa FB! i forgot

^^lol@maxaad lo qoslaysaa. Why not FB? War qoftaan sow Cara maaha? Cara was a cool girl yaa midiyaha u dhiibay ?

Ibti, Malika, CL, and Cara = reer dududaaye quartet waaye

Bisinka@Ibti! that was a scary stuff...you are quite dangerous walle, waaba baqee

Ambassador Ahmadou Ould-Abdallah: A Genuine Peace Architect E D I T O R I A L HIIRAAN ONLINE Tuesday, July 29, 2008 After many elusive peace efforts and disappointed envoys, the Secretary General of the United Nations finally appointed for Somalia a robust diplomat. Ambassador Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah has recently engineered an extraordinary breakthrough between Somalia’s warring factions. The former Mauritanian foreign minister has also reinvigorated the international community to reengage Somalia after prolonged neglect. A veteran diplomat with organic approach to Somalia’s protracted conflict, Ambassador Ould-Abdallah, has put an end to the competing international “reconciliation” efforts and parachute diplomacy that his predecessors exercised, which typically involved in high profile fly-ins to Mogadishu and other cities under tight security. Uncharacteristically, Ambassador Ould-Abdallah is proposing the relocation of the UN Political Office from its comfortable Nairobi headquarters to the extremely dangerous Somalia. Moreover, he sounded the alarms on the illegal fishing and the toxic waste dumping off the coast of Somalia, regularly perpetrated by powerful interests from far-flung countries. Hiiraan Online dedicates this editorial to thank Ambassador Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah for these bold accomplishments, and to urge him to do even more. Unlike his predecessors, who gave undue attention / reward to warlords who long wrecked havoc in Somalia, it became apparent to him that the TFG, the business community, the Islamist movements, the Diaspora, the civil society, and neighboring and international players are all part of the conflict, and thereby must be part of the solution. In May and June, Ambassador Abadallah led the efforts to bring the main Somalia players to Djibouti to help them hash out their differences, all the while convincing a skeptical global community that peace is possible in Somalia and that the overwhelming majority of the Somali people are genuinely fed-up with violence. Not everyone has embraced the Djibouti peace deal. It is our opinion however, that this is a promising peace initiative, if augmented by serious commitment from all parties. Ambassador Ould-Abdallah is even calling for those who at first rejected the Djibouti peace deal to join the process and register their grievances at the negotiating table. He also asked the UN Security Council to consider removing Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys from the list of the people associated with terrorists, should he chose to rejoin the peace efforts spearheaded by his colleagues in Djibouti. This is another profound and pragmatic step, incidentally concurred by Jendayi Frazer, the top American official for Africa in a recent interview with the BBC. One of Ambassador Abdallah’s accomplishments is that he identified the Diaspora community as a vital part for any peace in Somalia. To this end, Ambassador Ould-Abdallah is currently on a whirlwind tour across North America and Europe, to seek the support of the Diaspora community for the Djibouti peace process and at the same time to keep them abreast of the latest development in Somalia. Our only reservation about Ambassador Ould-Abdallah is that he often blames Somalis for all that went wrong in the country. True, most of the damage was done by Somalis, but not entirely. Foreign hands have long been stained in the internal affairs of Somalia. Had it not been, for instance, the deadly weapons supplied by some neighboring countries, and had it not been the constant undermining of peace efforts by certain quarters, Somalia may well have been on a better trajectory. That said we recognize Ambassdor Abdallah’s enormous task of tackling serious challenges all the while maneuvering around tricky Somali, regional and international politics. We thank him again for his sincere efforts to find a lasting solution for Somalia. http://www.hiiraan.com/op2/2008/july/ambassador_ahmadou_ould_abdallah_a_genuine_peace_architect.aspx

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah meets with Somalis in Minnesota by A. Jahweyn Monday, July 28, 2008 Minneapolis, MN (HOL) - In an effort to propagate the Djibouti accord and seek advice, UN special representative to Somalia Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah paid visit to Minnesota where majority of the Somalis in the US resides. In part, the purpose of the visit was explained to be an outreach effort to the Somalis in the diaspora. Organizers told Hiiraan Online that this conference was inclusive, bipartisan and open to the public. Mr. Abdallah started his speech with a disclaimer arguing what he was going to say was just his “personal experience … opinion as Muslim and African”. Also, Ambassador Ahmedou stated that he was there to seek advice on how to best pursue peace in Somalia from the Somalis in the Diaspora. Ahmedou’s remarks seemed to focus on alleviating the suffering of the Somalis by finding resources and political settlements between the opposing groups. Speaking of badly needed resources, Ambassador Ahmedou talked about how the people of Somalia could benefit from relocating the UN staff in Nairobi to Somalia. He argued that even though these individual are collecting salaries to help Somalis they don’t live in Somalia and don’t rent, buy or pay Somalis. Representative Ahmedou ask the Somalis in Diaspora to united and work hard to attract the bigger countries like the United States to bring stabilities to their homeland. He said “Somalis has to take leading role in efforts to bring solution to their long lasting conflict … you must work with your elected officials about bring peace to Somalia” he added Additionally, he said “Somalis in the diaspora must protect their country’s name, Somalia, work hard and organize to succeed life in their adopted country, and be positive partners in the peace process back home.” As a lot of countries where not forthcoming to provide troops, representative Ahmedou said “why would countries send their troops to die for you? … simply many countries are not ready to risk sending troops to Somalia.” Speaking about his plans or next steps, Ambassador Ahmed stated “I plan to ask US, EU, and Arab countries a financial help by the end of this year”. He also mentioned to have planed to ask again the UN to relocate its staff to Somalia. From the reactions of the participants and audience of the event, it seems as though the Djabouti agreement provided some hope and awaiting to see how the international community keeps its part of the bargain. souce: frank discussion about peace in somalia

^^Engage with Ethiopia and US but not with other somalis because they are.... ^^That's absurdity cubed! Redka, you are full of crap adeer, and it's not pretty really when you show it like that!

^^I hope you don’t genuinely believe what you imply there.

^^Do you blv Eritrea has an influence on the good Sheekh? You think inay sadaqo tahay position ka ay somalia ka qaadanayyaan? I have no insight info. This is the only explanation i could come up with when the good Sheekh adopts a position he couldn't even articulate. 'Ethiopia la rabaa in waji quruxleh lagu saaro',or something to that effect he said. What was that supposed to mean adeer.

Rahima, my good sister, the position of not negotiating for peace is impractical and wrong given where we are today! And that is the position sheekh Xassan took. Despite Doctor Geeljire's protest, the good sheekh is macthuur cindii for the same reasons i cited.

Balaaya ku kala tuurtay!

Marx got jokes. some times.
