That's not even an Arab attire, the khamis is a Persian attire. The macawis is an Indian attire. Basically Arabs are lamagoodle [sp] like us.

Lool @ Sheikh Mario, About Kismayu, folks need to stay tight and safe, they should also stay away from the port just incase they get mistaken for Al shaabab and they should also stay away from any Al shaabab bases. I don't trust these bungling Kenya forces, I hope they don't kill innocent civilians instead of Shaababists they are hunting. InshaaAllah we will pray for them.

Faarax, stop with your sarcasm, do you think every group that declares jihad or call itself the "party of God" is to be believed. Islam teaches that they are 2 camps, Muslihhoon or Mufsiidoon. The muslihoon don't make claims but do the right thing and wish favour with their Lord. Mufsidoon make claims but their actions are opposite to their claims. Allah describes them perfectly in this verses in surat Baqara. (10) And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only. (11) Are not they indeed the mischief-makers ? But they perceive not. [Quran 2:10-11]

^Lol:D

The Youtube bit was meant as a joke. but that word is used all the time by my cousins of a certain political persuasion when referring to south Somalia. It's a reality that I attest to.

Those who made those accusation should atleast motivate their change of minds point for point. Duke's argument of Turkey sending a plane to pick up some traditional elders does not clarify nor solve the issue, me thinks. This!

I have been called f'aaqash by secessionists on YouTube.

Lol, do these fools know that Islam forbids men dressing up like women.

Strategy Page Thursday, May 31, 2012 More Kenyan troops are approaching the al Shabaab held port of Kismayo. This port is a major al Shabaab base, and the source of much of their income and most of their imported supplies. Al Shabaab charges ships to unload goods for local merchants and collects various other taxes in the town. Losing Kismayo would be a major defeat for al Shabaab and would greatly weaken the Islamic terrorist group. Apparently parts of the key southern town of Afmadow remain under al Shabaab control. The town is about 620 kilometers south of Mogadishu and is a major trading center inland from the port of Kismayu. Kenyan aircraft have been bombing al Shabaab targets inside the town for months and Kenyan troops have been skirmishing outside the town for nearly as long. Al Shabaab taxes the merchants using the town, and this has been a major source revenue. May 30, 2012: Kenyan forces claim to have captured the town of Afmadow, Al Shabaab claims that they still hold the town. Kenyan forces claim to have killed several al Shabaab fighters today, in and around Afmadow. In northern Kenya near the Somali border, four policemen were wounded when they were fired on by al Shabaab gunmen. In northeastern Kenya a bomb went off outside a restaurant, killing one and wounding three. Kenyan warships again fired on al Shabaab camps in and around Kismayo. May 29, 2012: Kenyan warships fired on the port of Kismayo, killing at least 11 al Shabaab men. On the road to Afgoye, al Shabaab attacked a convoy carrying the president of the TNG (Transitional National Government). Two soldiers were wounded but the president was unharmed. May 28, 2012: In the Kenyan capital a large explosion occurred downtown, wounding nearly 40 people. At first it was believed to be another al Qaeda attack, but was later found to be caused by faulty electrical wiring. May 27, 2012: In northern Puntland, police arrested 11 Somali pirates and seized their weapons and equipment. Normally, the Puntland security forces leave the pirates alone, but this particular group had killed five policemen last year, and the police wanted vengeance. May 25, 2012: Al Shabaab forces fled Afgoye (40 kilometers northwest of Mogadishu) as they learned that convoys of peacekeepers and government troops were approaching. Last year the town was attacked by UAVs firing missiles. There was a large al Shabaab base in the town, with stocks of weapons and ammunition. Al Shabaab vowed retaliation for losing Afgoye. The capture of the town makes it easier to supply 400,000 refugees with food aid. There were several days of fighting and skirmishing before al Shabaab decided it was better to retreat than stand and be destroyed. Nearly 10,000 civilians fled all that fighting and there were over a hundred casualties, most of them al Shabaab or civilians. May 23, 2012: The last pro-al Shabaab radio station (Radio Andalus) near Mogadishu went off the air as TNG troops took control of the area the station was in. May 22, 2012: Peacekeepers and government troops began advancing to the northwest out of Mogadishu, towards the town of Afgoye (40 kilometers away)

Which one? we've got two speakers?

Why is everyone blaming Shariff for the Faroole farce? the man was out of the country until a couple days ago.

AUN

Mooge, it's because of people like you that Puntland and what it represents is disliked by many Somalis.

Goodluck with your endeavour, saxib!

Somalis, we are a bunch of drama queens!

Maxamed Xaaji Xuseen [HOL] Muqdisho, Soomaaliya Arbaco, May 30, 2012 (HOL) — Madaxweynayaasha Puntland iyo Galmudug oo horay uga soo horjeestay ka qaybgalka shirka Istanbuul ee looga hadlayo arrimaha Soomaaliya ayaa sheegay inay ka qaybgalayaan iyadoo sheegay in la xalliyay khilaafkii sababay inay shirkaas ka qaybgalkiisa diidaan. C/raxmaan Sheekh Maxamed Faroole iyo Maxamed Axmed Caalin ayaa horraantii toddobaadkan waxay ka sheegeen Addis Ababa in shirka Istanbuul uu yahay mid dano gaar ahaaneed laga leeyahay oo lagu saleeyay siyaasad. "Shirka ka qayb-galkiisa waxaa horay uga soo saarnay war-saxaafadeed aan ku diidnay, waxaan shaki ka qabnay ururrada bulshada ee Muqdisho laga keenay iyo sida shirka loo maamulay, arrintaasna waan kawada hadlanay waxaana sheegnay sida aan u aragnay shirka iyo waxaan qabnay waana isla meel dhignay inaan shirka ka qaybgalno," ayuu yiri Madaxweyne Puntland, C/raxmaan Faroole oo BBC-da la hadlay. Madaxweynaha Puntland wuxuu hadalkiisa ku daray in isaga iyo madaxweynaha Galmudug ay la kulmeen mas'uuliyiinta safaaradda Turkiga iyo saraakiil ka socotay wasaarada arrimaha dibedda ee Turkiga, kuwaasoo uu sheegay inay ka qanciyeen wixii ay tabanayeen. "Innaga iyo mas'uuliyiinta Turkiga si toos ah ayaan uga wadahadalnay wixii aan ka tabaneynay shirka, Istanbuul ayaana toos u tagaynaa. Innaga Turkiga inaan si toos uga wadahadalno nabadeynta Soomaaliya door ayaan ku leennahay innaga iyo reer Galmudug waa u wada soconaa," ayuu Faroole hadalkiisa ku daray. Madaxweynaha Puntland wuxuu sheegay in howsha socota ee Roadmap-ka aan waxb a laga bedeli karin isla markaana aan la keeni karin howl cusub oo siyaasadda la xiriirta, isagoo dowladda Turkiga ka dalbaday in la ixtiraamo heshiisyadii Garoowe, Gaalkacyo iyo Addis Ababa, shirkuna uu noqdo mid ku kooban rayi is-dhaafsi. Sidoo kale, Faroole wuxuu sheegay in Puntland Galmudug laga qaadayo xubnaha bulshada rayidka iyo odayaasha dhaqanka kuwaasoo uu sheegay in la geynayo Jabuuti ayna ka qaadi doonto diyaarad ay leedahay dowladda Turkiga. Dhanka kale, madaxweynaha Galmudug ayaa isaguna sheegay in go'aanka ay uga laabteen go'aankii ay horay ugu diideen ka qaybgalka shirka Istanbuul ay si wadajir ah uga laabteen isaga iyo madaxweynaha Puntland oo ay isla joogaan Addis Ababa. "Waa isla joognaa aniga iyo Faroole waana wada fadhinnaa, si wadajira ah ayaana warkan u soo jeedinnay, wax gaar ah oo aan wadanayna ma jirto, waxaa ka wada cabanayno waa qaabka wax loo sameeyay iyo la tashi la'aanta, markaan wada-tashaynna sidaas ayay noogu dhammaantay," ayuu yiri Mudane Caalin. Madaxweynaha Galmudug ayaa sheegay in isaga iyo madaxweynaha Puntland ay hal diyaarad isla raaci doonaan, balse ay kala matalayaan laba maamul. Iyadoo tani ay ka dhigayso in mowqifkii labadan mas'uul uu isku bedelay maalmo gudahood.
