Sacad *Ducaale, Why do you need others to verify? President Faroole wasnt' even in the country.... Do you think Malaysian Information, Communicatoins and Culture Minister visited Garowe Parliament? Yet no news portals mentioned it? Lol, if you are going to play a practical joke, atleast make it realistic.

Sacad *Ducaale use some common sense!! First, Do you think it is possible that the Malaysian Information, Communicatoins and Culture Minister visited Garowe Puntland on January 18th 2010, like this bogus letter says? I am almost certain President Faroole wasn't even in Puntland during this time, he's been gone for over a month. Do you have any pics of this so-called meeting? The English is written too poorly to be real! I doubt the Malaysian Information, Communications, and Culture Minister would write this garbage. Seems like another person high on khat!

I'll believe it when Israeli makes any acknowledgement of this. Not just the NW Somalia (so-called) media. It's obvious that NW Somalia is trying to scare the Muslim world; but they don't realize that just like the U.S said, the rest of the world feels the same way. That recognition should be brought up to the AU and it's not their issue!

Come on Oodweyne, lets be honest here. The reason why this article was written in English and sent to different media outlets around the world was to send a message to those outside of Somalia, it was not (as you want us to believe) ment for the pirates! Security officer Jamal Abdikarin was speaking to the AFP because he wanted to send a message to the world. I am saying that this message will backfire and make NW Somalia look like it has a poorly run justice system, that can finish trials in a week!

"The trial, which lasted a week, was finally concluded today after the evidence brought before the court showed that the eleven were involved in piracy and hijacking. The court finally announced its verdict -- a jail term of 15 years each", Osman Ibrahim Dahir, the presiding judge, told AFP by phone from Berbera. Nothing like those 1 week trials where a 15 year sentence can be handed down so quickly. Quite sad! Most places it takes longer to choose a place to have the trial or to select a jury and gather evidence! Not in this case. I wonder if any of those NATO naval forces were ever brought as witnesses to the one week trial. I also wonder why the judge and prosecution is only mentioned, but no statement from the defense attorneys. Will these guys be able to appeal the decision? "Some of the pirates confessed their crimes while others were still reluctant to confess, but they were sentenced and sent to jail," Jamal Abdikarin, security officer in Berbera told AFP by phone. NW Somalia thinks this is news that will make them look good, but they don't realize a one week trial that hands down a 15 year sentence makes you look ridiculous. Anyone reading would know it's nonesense!

Hence, his would-be "political contribution" to any side he choose to give to, at least from here on out, will be irrelevant, in the extreme, indeed. Don't you see that political logic? Lascaanod Control and Borders under lock? Did you miss this video? A reporter had to enter the city in the cover of darkness under heavy militia protection and could only stay there for a couple hours. You call that control? Where are the crowds coming out waving the NW Somalia Flag? If a reporter takes this much precaution and protection to enter a city; the control you have is very limited. No wonder Riyaale has never returned to the city! This video expose the lies about how much control there really is, everything depends on warlord Habsaade and that's it.

Habsaade was the one who was responsible for attacking Riyaale in Lascaanod and chased him out, he then became a Puntland minister. Now you guys are quoting what he says and agreeing with him? HELLO, he tried to kill your president.....he is after the Dollar and that's his only loyalty!

That's what NW Somalia's regional police chief said they were heading for laaqoray and the local elders said they are docked there. It seems that both sides are saying they are in laasqoray.

Xaji_Xunjuf, The article just said they are in Laasqoray??? :confused:

He is basically saying "who sent you to bring the security detail, where is the Puntland president!!! I guess, Amin is trying to say President Faroole doesn't look like a leader :confused:

Originally posted by The Zack: War sheekada nac nacda ah meesha kala taga dheh. Why pick only on SAMATAR? It's because he comes from a oppressed group, and doesn't have them supporting him in large numbers!!! Remember the support Qeybdiid got when he was arrest in europe? If a war criminal like NW Somalia's leader Riyaale were to be arrested because he was part of the brutal NSS, tens of thousands of his kinsmen would be coming to his defense!

Originally posted by Peacenow: If he were to stand down today. Who would be in the horizon in Somalia or outside to takeover. Somalia more than ever needs a Ataturk. It's looking very bad. See the story in today UK Observer. Turkey is moving away from Ataturks vision, it's current President Abdullah Gül is closer to Islam!

Originally posted by Che -Guevara: ThankfulSP...What's your assessment of Faroole's admin so far? I truly think President Faroole does things his way, regardless of what anyone else thinks. In some cases this is good, because he is the leader and has to make choices. But it doesn't seem wise all the time. The whole ONLF issue and saying they were not from Somalia, is just something he didn't really need to say. He knew naming his son as an advisor would not be very good on a PR stand point, but he doesn't care. I have rarely heard him talk about the deaths of the parliamentarians. I don't feel he is giving Mudug the attention it deserves, especially when there was fighting for the first time, between the two groups there. For me it's difficult to give an assessment of him, because they are so secretive about what's going on. The government website has never been touch once since he has been chosen as president and like I said earlier, many news outlets and reporters have complained that they are being punished by the admin for doing their job. To me closing down the government website and arresting reporters is a clear sign that he doesn't want the people to know what the government is doing. For instance the President opens parliament and we get little to no information about what was discussed. (That is exactly why we have the Puntland Government website.) Just think of all the people that search Puntland over the internet after reading in the news and then they see in the english section hasn't been updated in a year, what kind of government will People think we have? At least shut the thing down! I won't only blame our President for the deaths of government officials or any other fighting that has taken place. But I don't agree with him naming his son as an advisor and the attack on the media, whether arresting reporters or closing down the gov't website. What is your Assessmetn Che???

Only in Somalia would naming your son as a paid media advisor, be defended. Their would be an absolute outrage anywhere else. Your son is your son, he can already advise you 24/7, no need to make it official. Give someone else the job, so they can feed their family. If you notice, many media outlets and reporters have complained about being harassed and imprisoned. There is reason why, it seems that the President only wants one news outlet to report the news! It's one thing to have your son as an media advisor, but it's another thing to suspend and arrest other media outlets for reporting the news!!

During last Decade Lascaanod was in Puntlands hands longer then it was in NW Somalia's hands. If that is any indication that the fight is far from over, I am not sure what is! Puntland is playing it perfectly, just sit back, because pretty soon Reer Sool (like it has happened in many places in the world), will look at NW Somali's government in Hargeysa and will come to the realization that they have little to no representation, that the dominant family in hargeysa has put themselves in a position to always be either President or Vice Pres!!! Reer Sool will start demanding "no taxation, without representation." They became fed up before and chased Riyaale out, (who has never returned)! As long as the Admin in NW Somalia continues to discriminate against Reer Sool, they'll always be tension!!!

Originally posted by MoonLight1: Duke what was this PL minister in tukaraq meeting the SL officials, is the authentic? and if not, is garaad jamac a lier? It's normal in a Federal State for officials from different regions to meet each other.

Allah u naxariisto Confidential reports tell Garowe Online says that the killings of the lawmakers has led to the government's pledge to pay security guards for all lawmakers. The "confidential reports" should have decided to pay security guards after the first two were killed! I have no idea why they were holding out for so long. I believe guards will help out a great deal! I am not sure who is responsible for all these deaths of government offials! From Governors, Ministers, Parliamentarians and a Judge, but never in Puntlands history has a single government offical been killed not even when it was at war with the ICU back in 2006 or had issues during the Jama Ali Jama day's, in just over a year and a half, the number has passed over 5.

There is nothing to reunite with, you have never left!! Until you receive international recognition (from even one country)than you can say you will never come back.
