Who can find an interview he recently did with Universal or Somali Channel where he talked about the roadmap and how he wants his legacy to be seen. I was very impressed to say the least. I just hope he returns to a similar role if not the top job itself. We need a technocrat to rebuild our economy and this is a fact that the world has learnt (look at Italy and earlier Greece who both had technocrats to get their economies back in order). He's what we need.

wiiloow turjum! I need to learn Arabic. It's beginning to bug me now! EDIT: lool just got it. Lol @ I like to hear the Maghrib Adhan

To me he lacks imagination and seems to enjoy a life of comfort rather than pulling up his sleeves and doing the dirty work himself. I certainly hope he doesn't return. Even Yeey was more forceful than him.

Interesting. Please elaborate as to how you came to this conclusions. What are your proofs?

If only the Somalis were in a better shape, we could have took advantage of the situation big time, just like they did back in 1991. Whatever the case, something tells me the balkanization of Ethiopia is nigh. Maaddeey, sxb translate what you wrote.

Sii soco, soo soco Seynabeey!

We need some confirmations and soon! Even the bloody Kenyans have found some!

Damn at the Microsoft guy's accent. Is our British accent that noticeable? I just thought it was Hollywood taking the p*ss.

Good peice. I once read somewhere that Somalia only had 3 sheltered deepwater Ports, Mogadishu, Berbera and Kismayu. These three also had the most advanced airports at the time if I'm not mistaken. Most of the infrastructure spending should focus on these the along with Boosaaso. Then we can have Kismayo serving the southern quarter, Mogadishu the centre, Berbera three north west and Boosaasi the north east. The current trend of building a dusty airstrip in every village should be stopped as more value can be reaped from investing the money in the aforementioned four instead of diverting the money. There is no need or demand currently for some of these airports.

I like him. Unlike many Puntlanders, he has the ability to see danta qaranka iyo tan umadda Soomaaliyeed. He is also educated, a technocrat and also the mastermind behind the roadmap. He would make a fine president. And if it makes a difference, waa nin la yaqaan I kid :D

Ha u dhinto. May it be slow and painful. Silic iyo saxariir! :mad:

lol :D lol@ dhereg oo dhaqaaq

My orginal name was Hatu. I don't know why I picked it though. I think I was sneezing whilst trying to chose and wala Hatu was born.

Although I don't know whether or not to believe this, this is something I would expect from such a divisive figure.

He is the most capable in my humble opinion with his farsightedness and sound wisdom.

JB's real name is Abdiqani

The federal system allows every region to work for itself and divides power between the central and local one, the ultimate say doesn't have to be with the central one. It's a concept not foreign to Somalis who throughout history have been divided up among clan lines, this was the same before colonialists made us a country. How can you satisfy Somalis with having the central power decide the ultimate say, it's simply not possible, we are backward in governing! At this point there will be no discussion whether to choose the federal system or not, it's too late, you can never satisfy a Somali, it's that simple. It's not too late. One way or another the constitution waa in loo qaadaa afti qarameed. Markaas baanu kala baxeynaa. Waa inoo 4 years time IA!

MMA, that's what I meant there. Just couldn't remember the name so I guessed EDIT: Somalia, if we had our lands back, our land border would be different, but our sea borders wouldn't be different. Geesi iga dheh! Admiral Qare: http://somalitalk.com/2011/badda/difaac26.html

The styles of governing that people such as yourself pose have been tried and failed, so we must try other ones. No one is blessed or cursed, some have had more rigor to work towards a better Somalia, and it is by no means fair that the rest now not question how to go forward in a realistic manner but question but try and shift the debate to implementing an already tested system. There has been no 'we' for the past 21 years , so don't make this into a 'we vs you' battle now, it's we versus you when you come up with arguments such as changing federalism and will remain so. As for the argument against Mogadishu being the capital, it should remain the capital if it has a federal status, otherwise it shouldn't. @MMA. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows , and I certainly don't need to go to Mogadishu to know how functions. Rather than blame this on qabiil hatred (ironic coming from you of all people), you should look this from a more standard view. You claim that Somalia has been through a decentralized unitary state before, but tell me when. Give me the dates and the duration that Somalia held this status. Don't confuse a decentralized state with a centralized one. As for the federalism issue, if in a popular vote the people chose against federalism (we're assuming it's a fair poll), what do you think reer NE should do? Join the lists of Soomaalidiid or bow down to the popular will?

Tuug tuug dhaley dheh! This was a well organised ploy to steal our oceans and wealth. Those responsible should be held accountable and killed by dil toogasho at Fagaaraha Tarabuunka for all the world to see. First dhul, now bad. Alla ciil badanaa.
