Beautiful pictures maasha'allah.

In a decentralized state, there is only one powerful central government a bit like the 60s one. The difference is that the regional governors have more power. So do the local district councils. They are also elected through the ballot rather than from Muqdisho.

This is just absurd. We need a decentralized unitary state, not greater federalism. Carole and his admin are now officially spoilers that are against ending the transition.

Keep up the good work Carafaat and don't mind the clan zealots. Clannism has impeded their ability to think with a level head.

We are one people who look alike, talk alike and walk alike. Why should we follow the example of the colonialists and divide ourselves further? Should we not act as the one people that Allah made us? Look at the other countries in the world like us. Look at Japan. Look at their unity and where it has got them. It is tragic today that there are so few Somalis left who truly understand the dangers of clan federalism and can see beyond their clan. Soomaalinimo is weeping today whilst the clan zealots rejoice in its defeat. Perhaps this is the most tragic consequence of the civil war.

Well said prof, well said. We will not be dictated to in our own country.

This isn't news. Waan ogeyn waa hore that it's not in ethiopia's interest for somalis to settle & develop it's just that some are blinding themselves to this fact.

MMA Thanks sxb. Thanks Blue.

^ what you suggesting raula Aaliyyah, it's restrictive I know. Maybe they'll change it? (I wouldn't hold my breath though). PS: It was meant to sound dramatic to get attention. Otherwise no one would've noticed it. As Ngonge would have said, wax fahan

KK! my beloved human dictionary, ma nooshahay? But what alternatives do we have, nooh Blue if that was the case then why didn't MMA say so. Ninka xasid sanaa

Blue, thank you for that but I want to pick my own avatar.

^ War it's not aimed at LSK, it's an undercover appeal for help

^ Then help me get my old pic back. Also, you know i'm sujui and don't understand your earlier quote

Indeed you've committed a wrong against me and I want justice, aawey odayaashii? I know we don't see eye to eye when it comes to politics, but that's no excuse for what you've done. Before you upgraded the site, my avatar pic was a beautiful and splendid one: it was Soomaaliweyn! Not only did you change it to some rock carafaat seems to be claiming, you've made it impossible for me to change it. I pride myself in being computer literate to a reasonable degree, but I've searched and searched to no avail for the magic 'change pic' button. This has meant that the notion of Soomaaliweyn which I used to champion is no longer represented and I hold you personally responsible. This is a major wrong and I want justice.

The thing that amuses me is that Puntland adopted the 'Puntland State of Somalia' tag to appear different. Now every Dick and Tom are using it But this is just getting pathetic. Now every sub-sub-clan will want a "federal" state.

^Yaa kale? I agree with him. We should focus on ending thr transition before we start talks with S/land.

I learnt a thing or two reading that list. Who knew JB's lot were part of the Tree-Block

Xiinoow you shouldn't become intolerable to other interpretations of affairs no matter how much you disagree with them.
