What Somali cities would you buy a retirement/summer/chillaxing house in ? if you do ever reach that age/level of affluence. For me it would have to be Mogadishu and Hargeisa the two largest cities, are and obvious. Sanaag (somewhere the tall mountains with a nice view) for when I want to cool down (apparentlythe water freezes there in the winter :0) as the highland does have a certain pull for me. Merka cadeey. Some big *** farm along the jubba. ahh, one can only dream. Somewhere with red soil as I think it looks fantastic haha. Lastly, a bungalow on the beautiful Bajuni Islands. How about everyone else.

there are too many useless delegations these days

I came across a nice song for Burco city the other day For all the resident Burcawis:

With the 20 years of war i'm not surprised they want to revoke the union, if it so great djibouti would be the first to join nooh ? Sadly, unless there is peace and some sort of government I don't see Somalia being able to offer any incentives. My stance these days is peace first, unity later.

Manshallah we [somalis] need more things like this. We also need less importers and more manufacturers and exporters.

Two days, 29 views and no-one. C'mon people where are the Accountants and aspiring Accountants at ?

Marka Cadeey! Nice picture.

So what is everyone here actually saying ? What does this picture prove ? If the only format in which the SL representative was allowed to participate was under the banner of Somalia or not at all, should he have left even though he/SL had much to gain from attending this conference ?

Reer Somaliland, enjoy your day in peace and have fun :cool:

Thanks Xaaji Xunjuf, --- "it is upto the Somalis...to think wisely and decide who to side with" hmm interesting. o.k thanks for your thoughts. Whose up next. ONLF, SL, PL ... SSC ?

"IMF chief arrested for attempted rape" They finally got him, which country was he trying to rape this time ? haha

Xeefow, thanks for your input sxb. I have a question for you, do you think the TFG is autonomoud enough to serve as a government for Somalia considering is backers and bankrollers and the unbelievable influence that external powers have ? Do you think it is practicle, do-able and moral to want/fight for/advocate the obliteration of Al-shabaab, their foot-soldiers and shacab who support them ? What state do you think this would leave south/central Somalia in ? How many Somalis would be killed (from all camps) before a decisive victory ?

^^ Dee xaaji waad iga xaraabalaysanaysaa hehe, Bal ii kala sheeg all the ones fighting in and around the Gedo area please. Mahadsanid.

Ibtisaam and Xaaji xunguf isku xishooda. I have been observing from the sidelines for a while and I'd say that there are a looooooooot of 'tribalist', if that is even a word, people here, particularly in the POLITICS section. Ibtisam would have to go a bit further to be tribalist #01 and overtake several people hehe

Waa wareey.

I didn't know what to call them. I meant them ones fighting to create azania/jubaland is that his [Hiiraale's] lot or is it ASWJ ?

Hello all, I have seen that many of the SOL people belong to the various sects of Somali politics whether it be TFG, Alshabaab, Somaliland, ONLF, Puntland, Galmudug etc. So my question is explain the stance of your camp, particularly the below camps, as categorised (by me ) if you belong to any of the below: - TFG -A/S - SL - ONLF -PL - SSC - ASWJ - Hiirale's crew - Various (other) "states" e.g. Galmudug, Ximan iyo xeeb, Azania SO tell me what are they trying to achieve, what are their aims, what are their plans for the groups/people they do/claim/want to represent ? Example: The TFG want to control all the areas of South/central Somalia and eventually extend their influence into Puntland/Somaliland. They want to form a federal government and are against the excessive autonomy of Somaliland and Puntland... Some considerations are that it is weak, controls little lannd. Its autonomy is questionable, its leaders pliable, it has little support base amoung its poeple etc. I want to start a fruitful discussion inshallah so speak you mind and I will let you all know the next step. I will say that all of these groups wax baa ka qaldan. Cheers

Here is a song that reflects the true character of dahabshiil is one of the most generous philanthropists amoung the Somali people and he has helped many Somali people in many ways.
