  1. Loool u made sound like a common theif who run off with your bag. Somalis and their lies. Uuuf. Sorry to disappoint you but Qardho is not invested with common thieves like Burco - remember that famous Ismacil Mire poem about the common thieves of Burco? Qandali - you are wrong - Mr Awaare is gentleman - and i don't think he will picked let alone being front runner - given that he was heavily involved in making of the constitution. also both man are no way near Mogadishu at the moment as the article suggested. one is in Djibouti and the other is touring with Mr Faroole. LOOL@ Ph candidates - 'Dr' has another meaning in Somali context - is another term for 'Farsamayaqaan'

I think i have been a bit harsh on Khaliif Cise Mudan - he never stole my bag - his airline Damal (which was one of the badly ran airlines in Somalia) misplaced it.
  4. hello people - what worth knowing has happened during my recent absence?
  5. @ Candidates 6 & 8 - this website does not know what is talking about. - I know both of these candidates - one is my brothers' Abti and the other is little known tuug from Qardho, who stole my bag once

  9. my advice to next PM: wadnaha dhagax gasho - nasiibkaa, nasiib atoore Alle ha dhiggee. - and walk into to the Al-Shabaab controled areas of Mogadishu unarmed and unaccompanied whislt he patts himself to show he has no weapon. ask the minions to take him to their amir and start a frank negotiations with them. the only question that he needs to worry about is whether Al-Shabaab would respect the rules and regulations covering Islamic principles with regards to your enemy's envoy.

  11. Risk of desertion The first batch of Somali soldiers will head to Mogadishu to help prop up the weak transitional government when their training concludes at the end of October. One thousand more will then take their place at Bihanga. "Whoever participates in this training, goes through all these hurdles and then defects to al-Shabab, I think that person is out of his mind ” Mohammed Somali army recruit In the past, irregular pay has led to government soldiers deserting and joining the Islamist insurgents. The US government has said it will pay the salaries of the new troops, but desertions cannot be ruled out. "If you have a political class that is consumed by its own power games, where the politicians are at each others throats and day by day the situation looks hopeless politically, it is dangerous," says Rashid Abdi of the International Crisis Group. "If you deploy these troops who have been well trained, they will look at the political environment and feel this not the kind of politics I was trained to serve and they will desert. That is the danger and the reality in Somalia." But Mohammed is shocked when I suggest some of them could swap sides. "Whoever participates in this training, goes through all these hurdles and then defects to al-Shabab, I think that person is out of his mind and has betrayed his country, his people and his religion," he says. No-one believes this EU-sponsored troop training will end Somalia's problems. But it could shore up the transitional government and keep al-Shabab out of the presidential palace for a little longer.
  12. EU hopes new recruits can shore up Somalia's defences The lush, rolling hills of western Uganda could hardly offer a greater contrast to the shelled out streets of Somalia's capital. At a Ugandan army base in Bihanga, about 950 young Somali men and a handful of women are being readied for life on Mogadishu's front line, where they will be battling Islamist insurgents. The khaki-clad recruits take cover during an exercise simulating an attack on a patrol, while instructions are yelled out in Somali. Surprisingly the words are coming from the mouth of Sgt Will Frawley of the Irish Defence Forces, one of more than 90 trainers from 14 European Union countries currently giving the Somali army a boost. Sgt Frawley never imagined learning Somali would feature in his career. "But for instructional purposes it is beneficial, as we get our point across easier and faster and the Somalis appreciate us trying to embrace their language," he says. The recruits, he adds, are "very receptive individuals with a huge desire to learn". 'Hoping for change' On of them, Abdirahman, says he has not been able to visit his family in Mogadishu for more than two years out of fear of reprisals by the main militant group, al-Shabab, which along with its allies controls much of southern Somalia. "They behead people. They view those who do not support them as supporters of the infidels," he says. Mohammed, another recruit, adds: "We are hoping for a change when we go back to our country. "We would like to help by defending our country and promoting our religion." For one of the French instructors, this mission feels like more than just a job. In 1990, Hussein Abdi's family fled fighting in Mogadishu after his father was killed, and started a new life in France. "It is going well here and I am learning a lot too," he says. "The recruits are very brave. Some have known how to fight since the age of 10. We are now helping them get to another level and I hope this is going to help my country of birth - I'm very optimistic." Specialist modules Uganda has taken the lead in the fight against the Islamist militants, with more than 4,000 so-called peacekeepers in the African Union force in Mogadishu. It has paid a high price - al-Shabab has said it was behind the bomb attacks in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, in July which killed 76 people. While the Ugandan army provides the bulk of the basic six months' training in Bihanga, the EU instructors offer specialist modules, including Fighting In Built-Up Areas (FIBUA). A few roofless brick houses have been constructed to make the exercises more realistic. In one of them, a Somali soldier plays the part of an al-Shabab militant holding several prisoners. "The most difficult thing for them is to control their firepower in order not to kill everybody but to kill only the enemy," says Maj Nicholas Delore of the French army. European fears The EU has launched this initiative, albeit not inside Somalia, at a time when it is becoming increasingly clear that the country's problems can no longer be ignored. "In Somalia, there are a significant number of UK residents training in al-Shabab camps to fight in the insurgency there," Jonathan Evans, the director-general of the UK's Security Service, MI5, said in a rare public briefing in September. "Somalia possesses many of the characteristics that made Afghanistan so dangerous as a seedbed for terrorism in the period before the fall of the Taliban. There is no effective government, there is a strong extremist presence and there are training camps attracting would-be jihadists from across the world. "I am concerned that it is only a matter of time before we see terrorism on our streets inspired by those who are today fighting alongside al-Shabab." On the internet there are plenty of videos showing well-armed al-Shabab militants being trained - young men with their faces masked and messages aimed luring in jihadists from across the world. "I sincerely advise my beloved brothers and sisters to come join us and defend the religion of Allah," urges one with an American twang in his accent.

  22. Originally posted by sheherazade: oh, the dreamers are here. Ibts and Nuune I had a dream this morning. Some kind of chaotic situation, exam stress and I'm running to leave my childhood house when my mother puts a glass to my mouth and I am forced to gulp down. She doesn't stop and I feel obliged but it is difficult and I swallow and swallow Suarh Yassin. Not a fluid but surah Yassin, I hear the verses in fast motion- like a tape recorder gone mad- until I can't take anymore and tip my head down. I grab the sink and cry. My throat is killing me. My sis stands next to me and says, Hooyo has gone too far hasn't she? I woke up with a dry, swollen throat. Thanks again Ibts! you need to see a dream interperter - but if you ask me - i'll say it has to do with that text that you never sent
