The latter, I was able to to lurk around town 3 am (walking ), while in Xamar, I was scolded on the daily for returning past maghrib (driving) Don't do that now. The blood and crips gangs have recently taken over the city.

I am neither a millionaire, nor do I have the necessary real-estate connections to provide the IDPs with a home. What purpose would my visit there serve? I'm already well aware of the grinding poverty, I wouldn't have to send a cut of my own money back every month if this wasn't the case. I don't get this "be prepared for hell" sentiment some of you are projecting, as if I would go there thinking I'm in Monaco. As a baby. May God bless your heart and soul.

:D Sorry I should not be laughing but I knew this is where the bandwagon was leading.

The Canadian citizens who forked out hundreds of dollars for a visa or simply could not get out of the UAE airports should blame the Air Canada executives who lobbied the Canadian government to deny Emirates and Etihad more landing rights. Air Canada smelt the coffee and knew giving the Middle Eastern carriers an unlimited access to the Canadian airspace would result in her loss of the lucrative Asian markets due to stiff competition. This saga was a tit-for-tat protectionism gone out of control.

Xaaji Xunjuf;933220 wrote: The Somali republic is now officially called the federal Somali republic what also needs to be done is a change of name for the army. The new name should be the Somali defense forces. The SNA left a negative memory on the vast majority of the Somalis. So since a new start for the people of Somalia the new name should be the Somali defense forces the SDF a new dawn a new name. Xaaji you have got it wrong. The former Somali republic is not reborn as you erroneously said, but rather it's Southern component is reborn as the Federal Somali Republic. The former Republic was dissolved in 1991 and can not be reborn without Somaliland being part of it again. Just like the former Yugoslavia was dissolved and no longer exists, the former Somali republic no longer exists and so only its Southern part is renamed. You can not say the former Yugoslavia is reborn as Serbia because Serbia was just one of its constituent nations. Please don't confuse the Konfurians any further:eek:

Its the Chinese style of copy paste of technology but while the Chinese have managed to do it to everything including the latest technologies this firm will only do the Engines and all other metals. This is good news, the old days of take outside the country/throw away that Engine because a precious metal in it is gone is over. So Norf, if you car or lorry Engine stops you know where to head or if the Coca Cola firm in Hargeisa lose a metal in one of their Engine they need no travel outside of the country . Yes they still must travel out of the country to neighbouring Puntland:) But anyway, this is a good initiative and I wish them all the best.

So in the end among the many political groups and ideologies, the secessionist camp won in Somaliland:o

Well done, Kenyan Somalis should compete at every level for their share of the national pie.

The reason I follow Somaliland news is 1) that Somaliland is I believe a region of Somalia that I care about, 2) Somalia is undergoing a radical political transformation from separatism to unity and integration with Somalia, and 3) as an avid follower of Somali politics in general, it is quite interesting to see how fellow Northern brothers think and analyze this looming political tsunami. What Hadhwanaagnews writes is clearly an internal debate Hadhwanaag and debate?? Waar waa mirqaan talk as I said earlier;)

Waranle_Warrior;933141 wrote: Chimera, you are a young passionate man who believes everyone who questions Mogadishu as our capital a hater of Somalia. No one hates anything, Mogadishu was made a capital in 1960 by the Somali people after we gained independence when our first government assumed office. A civil war broke in 1991 and Somalis disintegrated, civil unrest and conflict ensued, the government fall and every Somali went back to their respected regions. Efforts have been going since that time to get the Somalis together and establish a proper Somali government, these efforts have failed many times before but now, for the first time, we are seeing a glimmer hope as a new republic is born again, a new federal system is introduced, a new government which most Somalis are willing to work with was selected and once everything goes to plan the new capital of Somalia will be decided and agreed upon by all the Somalis that disintegrated before or returned to their respected Somali regions. Mogadisho's status as the capital of Somalia is set in stone. It is not open to questions.
