Good job Puntland Coast Guard.

Thanks Duke and others. This is good thread that needs to be updated and added new pictures all the time. There are other scenic places in the country that also need to be added. Good job all of you!

As a silent reader, I must agree with Garyaqaan* that General Duke is man who deserve Billad Sharaf for his balanced debate with others and unwavering support for the TFG and Puntland Region. As observe in here for almost 5 years, many people changed their political alligment with the execption from the Northers(who want to secide from South Somalia). I have never come across one post where General Duke lost the temper and trashing other SOLERS as many of them do(he may use some jargons to emphazes their political leaning). Some people would say that he doesn't know who to debate, but he just copy and paste news from particular websites(Puntland affliates sites). What about people who copy and paste information from "Dayniile" and others clannish sites? Many people of this forum does copy and pasting from other websites, but General Duke always create enviroment where his ideas are being discussed with civil manner. I have never come across DUKE bad mouthing sisters and brothers who disagree with him, but he just gives the benefit of the doubt without loosing his temper and goal. I believe, if General DUKE come across noble ideas or men with vision of restoring his beloved nation, he would simply give unwavering support that he gave his beloved Presedent Yusuf. General well deserve billad and continue advancing your ideas and goals without loosing your temper. Job well done.

I agree with you. Kismayo can handle all somalis put together. One clan is not gonna bring peace and properity to the city, but united clans who happened to live that beatiful city. Barre's people have every rights to live in Kismayo, so does any other groups in the Lower Juba. However, fighting and in fighting between clans will only increase civilian killing and city destruction. May God bring peace to Kismay and entire Somali country.

I know personally this sheikh 3-Sheekh Dhaga-Caleen Nuur Cali Famous sheekh Dhaqa-Caleen from Qardho city.

Ilaah dhibka haka saaro dadka reer Kismayo oo hadba lugu kor dagaalamayo. Hiiraale is gone for good because he wanted to play double cards. I am with the TFG and AL-SHABAAB. He and his ********* has lost the battle, probably they will end up somewhere in Gedo since there is no support coming from Mogadishu and Kismayo at this time. Its going to be very hard for him to re-capture Kismayo.. Hope, people who captured city don't behave like 90s USC and commit a lot of crimes against HIIRAALE people, but I will encourage them to go after HIIRAALE and brought to justice for what he committed prevous years.

More Pics from new police recruits. Good job. http://www.midnimo.com/augst08/22_08_taliya_ciidanka_booliska.htm

Brother Dhulq, Sunaari is not a woman name... Its a surname for men in our nick of the wood. By the way, slowly, but surely Mogadishu is becoming peaceful city. Don't listen few anarchist bombing women and children and thinking that they are winning the war.

Good job for the police commanders and recruits. Hope, you protect and serve your people and city with honest and integrity. http://www.midnimo.com/augst08/18_08_xaflada_lagu_maamuusaaya_cidmada_booliska.htm

Good luck for him... I am hoping peace and good goverance for Pakistan people.

It used to be "********* bunker", but when real men with real leadership showed up, it was renamed "Presidencial palace" as it used to be 17 years ago before ********* took over. Do not be a whinner all the time!!! Give some credit where the credit is due.

^ Your names says all!!! Dare to visit his Presidencial palaca in Mogadishu and ask him that question instead of saying waxaan maqley.

Real man with real agenda don't curse their foes from far away nations, but they do fight to the death through politics or hand to hand. Qulubta ilaah baa daalacda ma maqsha ever? Allah knows qulubtiisa or your qulubtiina, but if you guys have some iota of geesinimo, you all should pack your bags and fight the guy real fight in Mogidishu. Cursing and nacnac is not gonna stop him or his agenda. I shouldn't be responding this post since it doesn't worth to spend reponding it, but I must says Somali daispora are sinking lower than any other human being. people who live in Somalia are way better than you in terms of thinking peace and war..

People are working hard to achieve something in Puntland, there are cyperwarrior who can't achieve anything in the cyperspace, and keep complaining when others try to improve poor people's live in Somalia. Ade achieved something without cyperwarrior help and he will achieve more without cyperwarriors. May God help him attain his goals soon -insha-allah. General Duke, I must commend you for your tireless efforts to educate us and present us unbaised news from different portals from back home. You are one of the real sons of Somalia nation. Keep up the good work and don't get disappointed when the nay sayers discourage you or challenge you certain issues.

I think, they don't need food to eat since they are going back to their Casiir country, so they ate two days worth of food from their countries. I think, whoever took the pictures is not proffessional one. He/she have taken pictures when they were about to eat or finish up the food,he took the pictures before the food was served.. Or may be, just may be Cade ate all the food ahead of time -- just joke

^ It is Aboowe. Brother, I understand how elections are run in that part of world. Money and qabiil elected parliamentarians talk!! He looks like nice person to run puntland presendency, but Cade (if he decide to run) will have upperhand since he got the money and parliamentarians line up. Let us wait and see for now,but good luck for the general for his endeavor..

I don't how this is true, but this website is reporting AL-Shabaab and local people took control of the City. http://www.puntlandpost.com/newspage.php?articleid=3547

Welcome home General Ilka-Jiir! Hope you run clean campaign and win the presedency of puntland. Good Luck..

Mansha-allah.. Keep the progress and development forward..

Beentaada hore runtaada dembe bey u daran tahay, ma maqashey..... If you spew lies day after day, may be something true that you will tell in the future willl not be believed by anyone. So, please post something meaningful and close to the truth at least. Have you ever heard Omar Beenaaley folk story?

Nice pictures. Bossaso will be very soon metropolis..

What you consider "Mujaahidiin", many people consider "Yesterday Moorayaan". They are only good for killing little babies and mothers. When they see Ethopian Army, they disappear, one they see fellow Somali with police uniform earning his few dollars to feed his family, they have "Karti iyo Raganimo" to kill and drag his body on the dust streets like Hyena. AY dismantled their booming franchise roadblocks, which they used to extrot money from minorities groups. So, they don't have franchise to take care, and they must join "Fake Jihad" to regain their lost franchise business. Ethopia and AY came yesterday, those Hyenas were killing each other and other unarmed civilian(some times starving them as thousands) for the past 17 years. Now, we forget their crimes and they are dambi ka salim and AY/Etho committed more crimes than them. We are growing up and don't abuse our intellect.

If you want genuine peace and stable Somalia, support peace initiative undertaken Cade goverment and Shiekh Sharif. Ethopia will leave without loosing another incosent somali mom and kids and your country will be respectfull nation. If you want ANARCHY and war, follow AL-SHABAB and ANARCHIST group who don't have any agenda other than to fight which they will loose at end with shame. Clan XX are fight each other for almost 17 years, they have been killing, slaving, subjugating others with their newly found idology, so AY and Ethopia came late when ICU threatned their based Baydhabo and Adis Abab, so don't threat others if you can't defend your self, few technicals can't do the tricks, but peace and negatiotion can determine who is the winner and who is the looser. AY will equally put down his own people(as he did before) if they go against his rule, so Ha ku beer laxawasan dadka AY and Ethopia are for ethnic cleaning.

You should be loyal to Somalia, not AL-KEBAB and ANARCHIST. You seem to appear clueless little kid who doesn't understand how geopolitical games works and who are the actross on these games. AY is old guy and soon will no longer lead Somalia because of his age, but whoever comes after him will follow his footsteps, not AL-KEBAB's footsteps, so enjoy and wait another leader who deals more strictly than AY to AL-KEBAB and ANARCHIST. Inocent killers and looters first should fill the HELL.
