hats off to the pirates. i like the way they operate. no ideology or fanaticism. it's all about the MONEY. well done

shabab are good fighters. but they don't have the firepower to overrun the ugandans(they have REAL tanks).

Ciidamada Militry-ga dowladda oo kasoo saaray Alshabaab Laanta Horseed. http://www.mareeg.co m/fidsan.php?sid=119 58&tirsan=2 Ciidamada Military-ga dowladda oo saakay kusoo biiray Dhinaca Ciidamada Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ayaa xaqiijiyay guulo ay ka gaareen dagaaladaasi. Ciidamada Militariga waxa ay ka saareen Ciidamada Alshabaab iyo kuwa Xisbul Islam laanta Horseed ee Suuq bacaad iyo isgoyska 4-ta Jardiino, waxaana loo dhaqaajiyay dhanka Towfiiq iyaga oo halkaasina kasii aaday Isbartiibada. Waxaa isaga baxay Isbartiibada Ciidamadii Maxkamadaha Islaamiga waxaana Ciidamada Alshabaab ay isku uruuriyeen Isbartiibada kadib markii laga soo saaray Suuq Bacaad iyo Towfiiq. Ciidamada Militariga ee uu hoggaaminayo Taliye Gacmadulle ayaa fuulay iminka dhanka dabaqa loo yaqaan ayaan daran taasi oo sababtay in shabaabka iyo Xisbul Islam ay ka cararaan goobihii ay Towfiiq kajoogeen. Ciidamada dowladda ayaa lagu soo waramayaa in ay iminka abaabul xoogan ay soo sameeyeen oo ay sii riixayaan Xisbul Islam iyo Alshabaab oo iskaashanaya oo habeenkii xalay dhigay dagaalkii ugu xooganaa oo sababay in dad rayid ah ay kuwaxyeeloobaan.

I must say, I didn't expect the government soldiers to be so good. They surprised me a lot. If they can defeat the shabab and xizbul-islam, then they will be very popular. I will have to rethink my previous stance on A/Y.

Turkey pledges support for Somalia security forces website ANKARA (AFP) — Turkey will assist Somalia in establishing and training its security forces after years of bloody conflict and political turmoil in the African country, President Abdullah Gul said Friday. "Turkey will provide support to Somalia in establishing and training its security forces and in meeting their needs," Gul said after talks with visiting Somali President Sharif Aheikh Ahmed. Ankara would also help to improve health services and education in the country, he said. Ahmed was elected president in January following UN-brokered reconciliation talks aimed at stabilising a country that had had no effective central authority since civil war erupted in 1991. The Somali leader spoke of "great progress and improvement" in his country in recent months, urging more international support for reconstruction efforts. "We will definitely not allow... unrest in Somalia again," he said. Ahmed expressed "regret" for the spate of piracy attacks off Somalia, which have prompted the international community, including Turkey, to deploy war ships in the region to protect commercial vessels. "This problem can be resolved inside the country, but we also need the support of the international community," he said. An international meeting, sponsored by the United Nations and the European Union, is to be held next week in Brussels with the aim of boosting aid to Somalia. Copyright © 2009 AFP.

ethio withdrawal: i will believe it when i see it

this is embarrassing. i can imagine the tigres sitting in their office laughing and shaking their heads, saying "these somalis are so easy".

Barre Hiraale...lol

same old crap. everyone's philosophy is if my uncle is not president then I don't support the government. it's a grand old Somali tradition.

Puntlanders need to relax. the next president or PM will be a puntlander. however, he will be a more eloquent and accomodating figure than the old general. the 4.5 system almost gaurantees this. i hate to say it but you can't have a government in Somalia without a puntlander as president or PM.

what happened to the ethio pull out? only 2 weeks untill december 31 and there is no tangible sign that they will leave. this withdrawal was another bluff in a long line of bluffs made by the ethios in order to extract more money from donors.

UN chief rules out Somalia force link Mr Ban said the conditions were not in place for sending peacekeepers On Tuesday US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for a UN force to be sent to the conflict-hit nation. But Mr Ban said the situation in Somalia was too risky and there was no peace to keep. There was also very limited world support for a multinational stabilisation force, he added, with few countries prepared to take part. He had contacted 50 nations - but none had agreed to lead such a force and only one or two were willing to send troops, he said. Somalia has not had an effective national government for 17 years, leading to a collapse of law and order. Ethiopia-backed government forces have been fighting Islamist insurgents for the last two years, but the Ethiopian troops are due to pull out next month - leaving only the 3,200-strong African Union peacekeeping force behind. 'No peace to keep' The danger of anarchy in Somalia was "clear and present", Mr Ban said, and action must be taken. But he said conditions were not in place for sending peacekeepers. "If there is no peace to keep, peacekeeping operations are not supposed to be there," the UN chief said. Instead, he said, more efforts were needed on an inter-Somali peace process and to bolster the current African Union force. His comments came a day after the Security Council unanimously approved a resolution allowing foreign military forces to pursue pirates on land in Somalia. Pirates there are currently holding more than a dozen hijacked ships, while attacks in seas off Somalia have increased dramatically in recent months. The resolution gives authority for one year for countries to use "all necessary measures" by land or air to stop anyone using Somali territory for piracy.
