Aaliyah, your right they do have interest. They want to have strong influence in east Africa economically after they help Somalis realize their potential. But thier generosity is beyond we ever got from any country for long time. I can't think of a country that did so much for us.Even if they have interest for helping us , who else is doing this for Somalia currently besides African troops and lets don't forget they get paid A lot ,but the Turks came with a lot of help without asking anything back for now.

Why do they care about you, what do you in Mogadishu have that they need so badly for them to lose lives, for the African Union to lose lives. Their centralist view of Somalia will not hold. I don't know what your talking about but remember no other country took kids from the desert of puntland and gave them scholarships.

I feel sorry for the Turks for what they got them self into. Soon or later they will have change of heart and move on. Only way to deal with Somalis is give them food and walk away as far as you can. If turkey pulls this one off waa dad siyaasadda ku dheereya. As much they done for the poor helpless refugees ,these Somali politicians won't understand Turkey is the closest ally we can get and we should appreciate their helpful presence They must be frustrated with somali politicians with thier arrogance.

Nin yaaban, waa iga yaabisey. Where you get all these infos

If garowe was the capital of Somalia, they would've done exactly the same, most projects would've come to it and most resource would've been allocated to it. For the conference, look at its agenda, its dominated by development projects, such as water, electricity and sanitation, Turkey always re-iterated that they are fully supporting the road map and committed to it. Buufiska hala iska daayo oo umadda wax ha lala qaybsado. They don't realize today Mogadishu tomorrow rest of the country. Umada somaliyeed waa dad Buufis kabuuxo. When oil was getting drilled In certain of the country everyone was excited. Why can't some people be proud for Mogadishu being rebuilt and besides its the capital Of Somalia . Every qabiil lives there at this time . Jaahilinimda is another thing we should cure from our society.

^ lol Your right it takes another spoiler to understand it like galmudug

Place stil looks like run down city similar to a city brought down by nuclear bomb. Time will tell

^ Somalis being Somalis Galmudug and puntland leaders should be labeled as spoilers and obsticale to peace. They said yes to adis ababa meeting why not Istanbul , I guess they mad because they have not recieved aid from turkey or ethiopia is not happy with the meeting. War waxaan jahiliita ka qabto umada

Not even a week just few days , easily 79 people died. Imagine how many Somalis die a year. If this number keep increasing , Somali people specially down south will become extinct http://somaliareport.com/fullimage.php?img=Weekly_May_12_18__2012.jpg

We just need enough men who know how to fight in urban conditions...I think helmets and bullet proof vests are more important for our men and women so that we can take this war to the heart of Al shaabab. This will be a house to house, room to room fight in order to flush out these cowards hiding inside the civilian population. You and I know Al shaabab wont be fighting in the open...so lets get on with it, when are we going to storm Afgoye? This terrorist HQ is only few miles away from Villa Somalia! Are you kidding me this war in Somalia was never intended to be complete in few years more like many many years. These African troops Need to feed thier wives and children . What a better way to come to Somalia funded by USA and European Union. This helps their country's economy.

I agree we are failed state but does that mean we should also loose our dignity and bride . We have yet to see a leader in all Somali tribes stood his ground and said enough is enough . Everyone is taking orders and being mastered like slaves. And we lost all the feeling for our nation. We let our weakest ,narrowest and most delusional folks to be leaders. Well I guess we are broken society. Everyone is either supporting indirectly or directly their tribal leader even if his doing worse of all things. Ethiopia and Kenya are in the waiting to collect thier prize near future .

It's fascinating to see people like us run to old enemy and ask for guidance. What is in Ethiopia that keeps these so call Somali politicians running there ? In comparison is like asking a neighbor for help that never was a friend and never interested helping you. I really think what we call politicians today are few geel jire mentality in 21 century politics. We can call Siad Barre dictator etc but he never bowed down and ask assistance.

Carafaat, In Somali culture it's rare case to see one addressing or agreeing issues regarding their tribesmen.

Just what we need modern military equipment . Too bad though TFg will just wreck them into pieces.

Just beautiful

Internet is taking its taking its toll on Somali communities at home and abroad. Truthfully speaking , Internet has become virtualcivil war for Somalis with many clan based sites. I can't really figure out one positive impact it has on us other than just able to communicate family and friends conveniently . Literarily speaking in all the nations, I think we the least who benefited the world wide web. Majority of Somali sites are news based.

This is funny specially the part where he says "don't let them make you think they are by them self"

This is why Somalia peninsula will never experience peace, xaqdo tii ugu xumeed. What a cowards , slaughtering Moms with kids . Axad, May 13, 2012 (HOL) — Wararka aynu ka heleyno deegaanka Hoosingoow ee gobolka Jubada Hoose ayaa sheegay in duleedka deegaankaasi maanta lagu arkay meydka haweeney kamid ahayd dadka deegaanka taasoo gowracan, waxaana ilaa imika aan cadeyn sababta ka danbeeysay dilka haweeneydaasi. Max'ed sheekh Cabdi oo katirsan saraakiisha dowladda ee gobolka Jubada Hoose ayaa warbaahinta u sheegay in haweeneydaasi ay gurigeeda kala baxeen rag katirsan Al-shabaab, wuxuuna sheegay in meydkeeda oo gowracan ay soo dhigeen duleedka deegaanka Hoosingoow.

Haweeneyda la gowracay ayaa lagu magacaabaa Suleeqo sheekh Yuusuf, waxayna ahayd 35 sano jir, iyadoona ay kamid ahayd dadka reer Hoosingoow, waxaana dadka deegaanka ay sheegeen in haweeneydaasi loo dilay si naxariis darro ah. Dhanka xoogagga Al-shabaab ilaa imika ma jiro wax war ah oo ku aadan arintaasi oo kasoo baxay, waxaana arintani ay welwel iyo walaac ku abuurtay dadka ku dhaqan deegaanka Hoosingoow ee gobolka Jubada Hoose. Ma ahan markii ugu horeeysay ee gobollada Jubooyinka lagu arko meydka ruux gowracan, haseyeeshee dilalka ceynkan oo kale ayaa ah kuwo aalaaba ka dhaca gobollada Jubooyinka oo ay isku hayaan xoogagga Al-shabaab iyo ciidamada dowladda KMG oo kaashanay kuwa ururka Raaskaambooni iyo Militariga Kenya.

What a wonderful seen. Too bad our so call president is traveler not a leader and poor Kuwaitis think they have Somali president Visiting thier country. What I found extremely bothering is that Shiek sharif does not stay in Somalia not longer than a month . One day his in Ethiopia second week his Uganda third week is in Sudan . I don't personally think he will give up this luxurious life. he will run for another whatever years and his what they call YES MAN.

Walee siyaasadda somaliyeed umad ka waashay completely .

The European Union has announced that it will scale up its Somali funding by Sh10.9 billion (€100 million) to support the African Union Mission (AMISOM). The mission was expanded by the rehatting of Kenya Defence Forces early this year. The money will go towards meeting the increased salaries and wages needs of the regional peacekeeping unit necessitated by the United Nations Security Council resolution of February 26 to integrate Kenyan troops, a move that increased the force to 17,731 soldiers. The 27-member economic bloc has also pledged Sh1.7 billion (€16 million) to boost the capacity of Kenyan research institutions such as the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF). “We believe strongly in these research networks and in building capacity for solving issues beyond national boundaries such as droughts, diseases and resilience building,” said Lodewijk Briet, the EU Head of Delegation to Kenya. He was briefing journalists in Nairobi on Thursday as part of celebrations to mark the 62nd anniversary of the Schuman Declaration – a proposal that integrated the coal and steel industries of Europe, and marked the origin of the current European Union. “Research has an important role in fighting dependency on aid and alleviating poverty,” said Sofie From-Emmesberger, the Finnish ambassador to Kenya. Special attention will be paid to thematic areas such as food security, environmental conservation, climate change and disaster preparedness. Kenya will receive Sh3.2 billion (€30 million) in the current year towards drought mitigation, preparedness and nutrition programmes targeted at communities in arid and semi-arid areas. The EU is Kenya’s largest trading partner, accounting for a quarter of total exports worth Sh98.8 billion in the year 2010. The trading bloc mainly imports horticultural products. Funny how others are getting rich from our suffering , god help us. Somalia people are born with a disorder that prevent us from living peaceful in our own country.

Why all of the sudden news shift to Bin Aladin and terrorist headlines ? Fox news , CNN and all them fake news network get people ready for election by spreading propangada and scare tactics.

Looking forward to better Ramadan . Ramadan is best when your in a Islamic nation. If you in the west and doing Ramadan it feels like in another day .

The capital always welcoming place .

At the end of all this . We know Somalis ruined the best opportunity for them self . We can be strong players in east Africa all the way to central Africa . But we are people who are surrounded by folks who hate to see us take thier place. I don't think Kenya or Ethiopia will ever allow Somalia to become stable nation with stronge economy. But before we even deal with ethiopia or Kenya , it's more likely we will slowly turned into million mini states. Smaller we get the lesser power we have.
