Arabs did not sell them to Somalis(as the article implies) which had no use for thm or knew what slavery was all about, it was the British when outlawed by their govt freed them from arabs on their way to Arabia.Somalia was one of the routes slaves were taken and these Somali Bantus were left where they were at the time,around the Jubas. Good to be home atlast.

^^^^venting frustration on key board constantly looking for some dim light at the end of tunnel .Ictraaf or no Ictraaf they kept you at bay and Mogadishu will neva stand on its 2 feet atleast in the coming decade.ooooh poor baby.

the guy is from Diredawa, same clan as jbouti's president,not sure about the lady but they stayed in the guy's cousin's house prior to the bombing.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Buuraha, I know you have your own deluded history. We believe we were the ones who forgave the crimes of SNK in Borama and many other places. In the so called alphabetical guerilla movements in Somalia , they were all based on tribal idea. either you are with them or against them. just to remain in your own land and defend is a crime against these movements. I do not recall any place where Awdal people went and killed any civilian or other innocent people, but we have plenty of evidence where innocent men were murdered. Some even in mosques in Magaalacad. You are reer bari, and you probably don't know much about the west. In the early nineties you were weak and anarchic; most of your regions in internal communal strife, but we did not watch and stand by when you were murdering one another. We were " gurmad nabadeed", tried to reconcile the brotherly community. The past is the past, and I do not intend to debate or put a blame at this juncture of the history, but I believe we forgave you more than you did. Forgiving one another is a virtue not a weakness, which produced today's peace. Dahir Rayaale did four election. From municipal, presidential, parliament and the last one. all of them were fair and free and ended with success. Give the man at least some credit. I know you are looking for trouble and tribal " rag iska dhici" debate, which is useless in this kind of forum. In my book you are warlord, and I do not want to engage warlords. Finally, let us stay away from what happen and concentrate for the future. what I expect!! defence mechanism as usual..according to you silanyo is warlord,ina bixi is warlord and your lot did us favor.Even Siyaad Barre in his last interview claimed he was democratic & innocent..jajajajajajajja

Please please Americans bomb Somaliland for us like A.yusuf did in Mogadishu with Ethiopians,like we did to Aidid with American troops,like Ghandi did in Kismayo with Kenyans.We so weak, always rely on foreign forces to do our dirty job.We know president of Somalia pardoned jailed terrorist and entertaining dahir aweys but they Unuka, but but these scessionists too powerful,nothing we can do about thm, we can't convince thm,we can't fight thm, please please Americans bomb the hell out' thm,you make our day then and they be devastated as us,we be on equal terms and their refugees come to Mogadishu so we kick their azzs...you,sir, truly make our day then, that really make us forget all our problems so long we together in refugee camps...sir I beg you, please. hahaaaa the southern head!

Hassan dahir aweys is protected in Mogadishu with cellular phone & TV.hahahaaa .Ciidan these people are desperate ,looking for anything to smear their dirty brush on.Think they can convince western who probably know where these posters sleep. [[[[[sOMALI president pardoning terrorist in MOGADISHU jajajajajjjajaaaa]]]]] ihttp://www.somaliaonline.com/somali-officer-it-truly-surprised-us-when-we-heard-that-the-president-has-pardoned-abdi-the-somali-custodial-corps-chief-who-was-found-to-have-a-connection-to-al-shabaabntelligencies

Remember Riyaale had no choice but to carry the elections,you know how many times he tried to stop and/ or postponed and even cheated one presidential election by 80 votes when it was clear it wasn't so & the outcome was known a day earlier that kulmiye won.Silaanyo was the man of the day at that time,imagine if it was the otha way around! I have nothing against people of Awdal but absolutely a must to be clear with people like Galbeedi who abuses the hand that take care of him.History is history, we can forgive but we can't forget what happen yesterday.To daily trash on nonexistent or miniscule stuff on me and then don't expect to be thrown back hard realities on him doesn't work.If he wants gentlemans debate,fine, but hey constant barrage of nonsense is unwarranted.This is not some high school forum. Imagine had Siyaad Barre won,hargeisa would have been taken by the likes of him & Galbeedi would probably have become Governor or some:D

The bomber that blew up the twin towers were from Saudi Arabia and they must have been sent from Saudi Arabians king. The people who blew up jews in Palestine were from Britain therefore the queen of England must hae sent them. The Bali bombers were from Indonesia they must have been sent by the government of Indonesia. The countless thousands of European nationals dieing in syria must have been sent by the European Union hahaha... These people are funny. When you lose all hope and you fail in everything you attempt pull the terrorism card... You might be mad but thankfully te world has more logic then then mugdisho bandits. Somaliland does not support Alshabab a state policy that is clear and simple. What the people do is of there own accord and European and world nationals from every country have been involved. Djibouti is the source to bomb countless Muslims across Yemen and East Africa using drones launched from American bases that is state sponsored terrorism. Mugdisho bandits should focus on cleaning their own backyard from the thousands of Alshabab based on their occupied African controlled colony. Burundistan somali protectorate <cite> @CidanSultan said:</cite> They came from Hargaisa is what we are being told.

Burundistan somali protectorate and the countless who bomb Mogadishu & around the world are from south. So the Somali gov't or the tiny enclaves like puntland must have sent thm.ding ding ding...

<cite> @CidanSultan said:</cite> I always ask myself after reading galbeedis posts what he is after and I still have not put my finger on it. He's a unionist even though I don't understand why. Awdalians don't have anything waiting for them in mugdisho. Mugdisho has nothing for them countless men have been there and nothing, the most anti somaliland awdalite professor samatar is a somaliland patriot today he has been and seen everything and his words are the same as Everyone else. Then I ask myself has he drunk the somaliyay tooso koolaide then I say to myself galbeedi is to smart for that. The very people who wrote the song somaliayay tooso sing somaliland songs today There is a reason why reer galbeed are known as midi chiftaa because you never know. The conclusion I have reached is this...like any society you have those that support and oppose. Galbeedi is if those who oppose. On what grounds ??? Borama and awdal are developing along par with every city in somaliland. Roads, private business's local council control, regional control. Peace and security. Representation at its highest after more then 2 terms an Awdalians has been president of Somaliland voted in by an over welming majority of duriayada voters clearly showing maturity and non clan based democracy. So what is galbeedis reasons. Logically examining his reasons... Their is no actual reason to be anti somaliland. Therefore his position is the same as salaaxs. Lack of absolute power and scared of the center. Hirsi gab is not somaliland. I think the man is a no body, Silanyo is not somaliland. Somaliland is an idea that transcends the individual. We eat of its Benefits and sleep well at night because of it. It maintains peace between a people who once killed one another. I see no reason for galbeedis bull!.£; to be honoust. And he has not given us one logical argument to persuade us to his view. He grabs one thing after another: holds te middle ground with a pinch of unionism. Ding dong presto... Galbeedi there is nothin such thing as absolute power. Only God has absolute power All these men will leave, the population will become more intelligent and we shall inshallah perfect a young democracy as the years go by. Furthermore no need to fear the centre they voted and backed an awdalite for president and this method of policy voting is what we have to get back to. Ciidan wallahi on the money.Galbeedi is anotha one like we often see here,paint garbage after garbage and can't respond or runs away when you come in kind and ask or confront him with hard questions.Case in point: People from Awdal were with Siyaad Barre,killed & maimed many of us but were pardoned & treated very fairly when Somaliland came to being! Riyaale was voted in and hasn't done anything during his reign,just amassed wealth. Did that happen in the south? where are the millions used to live in Mogadishu?yes in refugee camps in Kenya & rest abused daily in Kenya.Few lucky ones taken to west. Good luck to him if he yearning for Mogadishu but no need to trash day in day out those who pardoned & welcomed him with open hands and purposely forgot the ugly stuff awdalians did. I think Galbeedi is on mission to make name for himself like samater & then land looking for office.

as appalled as its ,under such circumstances its not easy for any gov't to walk a tight fine line and specially outside the western world. Africans not fond of rights anyway!

XX you think they don't see it everyday!!!!!!

XX you think they don't see it everyday!!!!!!

Is anyone heeding ceaseless puqland baby cries?so scared of Somaliland wallahi. Love it:D

Weak Cry baby puntland foreva looking some external power to defend her against Somaliland. Too bad when you don't have the muscle. He can't even visit his home towns of Buhoodle or taleeh.

and badh badh puntlanders will foreva blow hot steam!

Love to see the pirate tears of unity unity unity .They can't live in waste puntland and can't go to Mogadishu as the Hags waiting to kick ass again.So they continue to beg landers come with thm. Too bad when your resume is rotten and no one wants to have anything to do with you.The only option left for puntites is play the nationalist card but is anyone listening...ofc NOT.

Puntlanders are the only group talk too much about unity and its neither sincerity nor at heart.Reasons being they from waste land that can neva prosper or become functional; remember they always lived in Mogadishu and beyond and emigrated from their region enmasse.Now they know they can neva go back & settle Mogadishu and the Jubas as Hags might slaughter thm again,so their game is to bring Somaliland into the fold,create friction between thm and Hags and move back down south and if possible climb to the power.They playing spoiler game so neither Hargeisa nor Mogadishu could eva succeed lest they be left in the wilderness that's puntland.Remember puntlanders hate Hags as much and work round the clock to make sure that no Mogadishu gov't succeeds unless ofcourse they in driver's seat.Bravados and braging has become their trade mark to project they important and relevant. A case of the beggar wishing nuclear dust on everyone else cos he has nothing to lose.

waaliweyn clutching straws! this the last chance, if Mogadishu fails this time as it looks then no more Amisom .Keep busying yourself with some you can't do anything about.

^^^ yes Israeli lobby & Saudi gov't fighting hard to derail as they scared they might some day caught up with this.Remember this is the first case eva a foreign leader was brought infront of U.S supreme court and all foreign leaders are keeping close eye on it as they very much aware of the domino effect.I was there in 2010 when it first heard in the court and you can't imagine how civil right groups are looking closely too.Very interesting indeed. As for the gov't in Mogadishu,would say they don't even comprehend how they hurting thmslvs in the eyes of int'l community by requesting immunity for him as one journalist put it,'' current Somali leadership should be summoned to explain what they know about the massacres and when did they know it''

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Ahmed Diiriye and Dahir Xaad, the two leading members of the " Odayaasha Dhaqanka HAG" have shown to be tough and principled. They stood against A/laahi Yusuf, they confronted Shariif Ahmed and even challenged some of the Jubba policy of Hassan Sheikh. Politely, they stated that they support the peace and progress in Somaliland, but they stick to their one nation stand. These men must be respected by their principle. Where did you get that information, any link.? Huh...For eva filling bottomless barrel......

^^^ DR , Mooge calm down.

:D:D:D walaahi am laughing my az off.

..Is IRIR really some for real.I'm at loss here, can you explain to me how they related and where I belong to Irir...there's nothing saying Irir in my lineage.

<cite>@Holac said:</cite> The Ethiopian government is spending millions on a program to make Somalis act and behave like Habeshas. Don't see your point Holac.Somali music is played in otha ethnic tv stations and vice versa plus certainly there r otha Ethiopians here.The EthioSomalis have the best of their times in terms of development & education in the long tumultous history of ethiopia and could say freedom too as long you openly dont become enemy of the state.Thats why they embracing ethiopianess if you wondering .They turn their back on Somalia due to the bitter legacy of Siadism where he recruited thm from inside the refugee camps & send thm to fight otha Somalis thus hijacking their movement ,aspirations and created enemies for thm in some regions where they took refuge.They decided to be Ethiopian and reaping the benefit...actually much better off then most Somali regions. They proud of their ethnicity if you follow their TV,which is where all Somalis even from inside the country tune to for cultural shows& dances .
