When you look at the whole Federalism debate and distract what most want. Then I think Somalis definetly want inclusiveness, not a clan ruled Somalia or capital, they want decentralization, they want governance in the close to the people and not be to dependent on central concensus or national deadlocks.

Kickz, the cultural decay of whole nations started with couple of teens wanting to experiment with western styled fashion.

Actually, I agree with the Police for enforcing cultural and religieus norms. These kids were wearing shorts and necklesses. Both are deemed to be offensive and against our culture. We dont want to become a second Jabuuti, a country with western norms and ideals.

This is a serieus health issue. If you guys only knew how many complications 'fircooni' FGM creates. P.S. In Holland doctors perform something called virginity restoration surgery, mostly among Arab and Turkish girls. http://www.humanityinaction.org/knowledgebase/149-hymenal-ethics-an-evaluation-of-the-hymen-reconstructive-surgery-in-the-netherlands

Federalism is supposes to safeguard some kind of independence, authonomy and souvereignity from one another. But Somalis use federalism(read clan) to intervere in diffrent and eachothers regions. Garowe intervering in Kismayo, Mudug in Merka, Baidoa in Baardhere, Jowhar folks in Jubba. Even Farooles wants a piece of Kismayo. So who wants Federalism?

There will be a compromise, it will be only a matter of time for one to agree on the details. Wakhtigii Hutu iyo Tutsi mentality Somali oo dhan la hariyeen wee dhamatay. Dib dambena ma aqbalino ina magaca, sharafta iyo nabada Somaliyeed la haraan. Sidaas ula socda.

Thanks for posting Haatu. I think Garissa, Mandera and Wadjeer districts need to cooperate specially on economic activities. Individually they are to small to compete for attracting large investments.

This event has the potential to become the biggest international book fair in the region. Comparable with the size of the Swahili Music Festival on Zanzibar. Ileyn Jabuutiyanku buugaag ma akhriyaan, Habashiduna Af Ingriisi ma yaqanan.

Mafia, these days the Italian influence and leverage in Somalia about zero. This was surely diffrent in the old days of the Cosa Nostra.

Mafia;974441 wrote: wallee caqli waa ku daayay nimankiina Landerska ah. When was the last time Kenya gave shyt about AMISOM orders and wants? The wasiiro and the leaders of the federal government were returned from the airport. What does that tell you? Kenya AMISOM contingency is there to protect their own interest, which works to the favor of J/L. That was before the IGAD summit in Kampala. And besides the salaries of Kenyan troops are paid by Amisom/AU. Try to use logic amd reason, you cant expect foreign troops paid by the international community to sabotage and obstrict the Somali goverment for you. Atleast come up with ways to do the job yourself.

Mafia;974365 wrote: Sad indeed, but I honestly think that from Jubbaland standpoint, this might be actually a good outcome for the following two reasons: 1) J/L convinced the international community that Xamar isn't serious about federalism. This will allow them to build out their own break-away government similar to SL and PL where they can implement their own vision without the pressure from international community to work with the Federal government. I'm already being fed that J/L is planning to sever ties with the federal governmental very soon, much to the elation of PL. 2) This will lead the current Mogadishu admin to fail, paving the way for a more competent leader to emerge. Somali people win because they will have a leader in place, which we don't have now. J/L wins because by then they will have a greater leverage in somali politics, with the international backing and more mature government structure. So, if you support J/L initiative, this fall out might actually help them a great deal. Remember Britain and Qatar were the backbone of Hassan Sheekh Mohamud, and they are both conspiring against him now. He lost the international backing that he had and he never had enough local support. Politically, he is a dead man walking now Axmed Madobe can cut the ties with Federal Goverment but the Kenyan forces are part of AMISOM and thus are obliged to follow AU/IGAD directives. And so far IGAD's directives ordered to hand over port and airport to Federal Goverment, State building be left to Federal Goverment and Kenyan forces to follow orders from AMISOM HQ. Read the different IGAD recommendations.

On the deal. I dont think the TFG is giving up anything, it was their intention from the beginning to talk with the Jubbaland factions. This makes sense as the Kenyan military and their Ras Kamboni allies control the city, port and airport. The talks were also recommended by IGAD. Adeer, adigu so dhawee heshiiskan.

SOMALI FM TO VISIT CHINA TO SEEK COOPERATION August 20, 2013 fosiaMOGADISHU(Xinhua) — Somali Foreign Minister Fawzia Yusuf on Monday headed a government delegation to China for an official visit, the first to the East Asian country by a senior official of the current administration of the Horn of Africa nation. Yusuf, who is also deputy prime minister, was accompanied in the trip to the Chinese capital Beijing by State Minister for the Interior and National Security Mahdi Mohamoud Ali, Deputy Minister for Reconstruction Nadiifa Mohamed Osman and other high-ranking officials, a statement from the Foreign Ministry said. “The delegation will meet various Chinese government officials on ways of further strengthening the bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries,” the statement said. While taking tentative steps to recover from two decades of conflict, Somalia has been working to improve relations with the outside world. Diplomatic relations between Somalia and China have a long history. In 2006, Somalia’s then president Abdulahi Yusuf Ahmed visited China and revived the bilateral ties after years of hiatus due to the raging conflict in the country. As the situation has gradually improved, trade between the two nations has seen an increase to broaden prospects for economic cooperation in the future. Before the civil war broke out in Somalia, China implemented various development projects including a national sports stadium, a theater in the capital Mogadishu and hundreds of km of roads throughout the country. Officials say the current visit will pave the way for development projects to be built by Chinese companies and the direct investment in the Somali economy. Source: Xinhua
