Serie A is back! Roma - Fiorentina This should prove to be a tough tough test for my Beloved Gialorossi. Missing Chivu, Ferrari and Mexes & Dellas aswell as New signing Mido we might come unstuck againts a very strong Viola Bolstered by several signings The Viola will definitely prove to be some stiff opposition for the capital club. After all, this is a club who signed the likes of Ujfalusi, Maresca, Jorgensen, Portillo and even Fabrizio Miccoli this summer. But is Coach Emiliano Mondonico the right man to gel them together? Other important Fixtures look like this: Brecia v Juventus The additions of Ibrahimavich Cannavaro and Emerson means the old lady should prove the stiffest opposition to Milan this year. Cheivio v Inter Manchini's Revolution has seen the captue of Davids and Veron and they along with Juventus should provide the strongest competiton to AC Milan Milan v Livrono The regining Champion's strengthed again with the signings of Vikash Dorhoso, Jaap Stam and Crespo and will be the toughest team to overhaul for Lo Scudetto Early Fixtures on British Europsort Looks like this Cable Listings

I think Sullen_Sue said what i might have articulated in different way, so i shall shave the rep-attion I hope this Move will bring clarity and help de-fuse alot of the hot-air we currently got boiling up nomads in here .

You can say that again Rokko. Hicham The Great His well deserved victory brought tears to my eye's He is the embodiment of what atheletic's should be about. I was lucky enough to meet this great brother a few years ago at the london Crystal Palace Gran Prix and his humility and modest nature was amazing.

loooooooooooool@Sue

Well i dont think i have been anythin but Naive about the realities of tryin to interact (for want of a better word) with the opposite sex as you put it. I dont need to take a trip down memory lane, am still afflicted by my naivety :eek: .

^^^^^ lol ^^^^^ sounds familier The Panic Attack that sets off the Adrelenin rush and like magic course-work deadline met, and revision down Vowala genies i used to call it

I agree whole-heartedly Curley But as you can see already from the replies lol somali's will be somali's. The Black-chat lot are hypocritical in that they will differentiate you and refere to you as somali and try to curse at you and down-grade you. But that doesnt mean that we should reply in- Kind. They have a lot of ignorant ppl just as we have. I dont surf this site when am with my other friends because some of the posts could offend them, but then Admin and NGONGE are right in stating that we would be going over board if we started to try to edit or moderate the thoughts and views of nomads.

Yeah tell me about it North???? I smell THG (Designer steriod Trahydrogestrinone) in the air

Viking Smile Bro You Got the Strongest team in Europe and the best Striker in the world Ancelotti crowns King Sheva Carlo Ancelotti has crowned hat-trick hero Andriy Shevchenko “the best striker around,†while Lazio deny a rift with Paolo Di Canio. “Quite simply,†noted the tactician after Saturday’s crushing Italian Supercup win over Lazio, “there is nobody out there like Shevchenko. He is the best forward around right now.†But rember you've had 2 Glory filled years so watch out for the Hungry Internationle and the Star Studded Viola on there return to the bigg time. Hopefully this year will be an even closer affair than last year, with so many good teams around i.e. Samp, Forientina, Parma, Parlemo, the bigg boys of Lazio Milan Inter Roma Juventus and Milan should silp up more often.

Roma Youngster Push Italy to Semi's The game seemed to be heading towards penalties, but in the closing moments of extra time Pirlo curled in one his trademark free kicks and found the head of Roma defender Cesare Bovo . The Mali goalkeeper managed to get a hand to it, but the angle was too tight for him to keep it out of the bottom corner of the net. Also For good measure: Iraq reach last four in spectacular Fashion

Totti Have that Haters :mad: Tuto Totti

Sofine H'Bday Pray that allah gives you continued good health and happiness Rather than years .

UN Integrated Regional Information Networks August 18, 2004 Posted to the web August 18, 2004 Nairobi The United Nations Security Council has condemned continuing violations of an arms embargo on war-ravaged Somalia, and extended the mandate of a group tasked with monitoring the 12-year-old ban on the export of weapons and military equipment to the Horn of Africa country. The Council said that weapons and ammunition supplies continued to flow to and through Somalia, and requested the UN Secretary-General "to re-establish, within 30 days and for a period of six months, the Monitoring Group focusing on the ongoing arms embargo violations, including transfers of ammunition, single use weapons and small arms." The Council, in a statement issued on Tuesday, expressed its determination to have violators of the embargo, imposed in 1992, "held accountable". In its report to the Council, the Monitoring Group, which is based in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, had said that while in the past Somali warlords were known to have been the main importers of arms and weapons, arms traders and other businessmen were increasingly involved in the illicit trade. "Imported arms continue to be sold openly in various local arms markets, and the Bakaaraha arms markets in Mogadishu are still the main source for arms in Somalia," according to the group. It said that arms and weapons now came from external sources to the north and south of Somalia, often delivered by dhows and sometimes by large vessels at several places along the Somali coastline. There were indications that air transport of arms had decreased, although some airports in Somalia were still suspected of being used for arms traffic. Information indicated that Somali warlords were involved in the violation of the arms embargo. There was also a possibility that proceeds from 'khat' (mild narcotic chewed by many Somalis), trade and the sale of hashish in foreign countries was used for the purchase of arms, the monitoring group said in its report. "Information from confidential sources indicates that some Somali warlords are not keen on seeing a government in place, because it would undermine their business operations," it said. "In the absence of a central government that collects taxes and customs duties and enacts laws, the financial capacity of some businessmen and warlords and, consequently, their military capability have increased tremendously," it added. Somalia has been without an effective government since the overthrow of the regime of Mohamed Siyad Barre in 1991. Militias loyal to various clans and warlords frequently clash over the control of territory and resources. The monitoring group said that the flow of arms out of Somalia appeared to be in small quantities, but it took place on a daily basis, particularly to "a neighbouring State." "There is evidence that arms are transported to a neighbouring state from Somalia and sold in a very insecure region of the neighbouring state," it added. "Numerous sources have stated that an organised network of Somalis and other individuals from that state has been smuggling armaments into and through the ports of that state by sea." "There is a need for governments of neighbouring states to demonstrate their political will to improve their customs departments. Corruption is a major problem with regard to regional customs enforcement," it noted. The Monitoring Group recommended that a list of those who continued to violate the arms embargo and their supporters remain confidential. A "watch list" to be prepared would include individuals who should be investigated further to establish clearly whether they continued to violate the arms embargo, it added. The Council mandated the group to continue refining and updating information on the draft list of embargo violators inside and outside Somalia for possible future measures, and to present such information to the Committee that oversees the arms embargo. The group noted that it was imperative that it continued its work at this critical stage of the Somali National Reconciliation Conference at Mbagathi, Kenya. It said its investigations could act as a deterrent to potential violators of the arms embargo during the meeting and thus help ensure that opposition groups do not destabilise the transitional government that may emerge from gathering, or minimise the violence that could erupt if the outcome of the conference was inconclusive. The report urged neighbouring states to implement anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorist measures to strengthen the capacity of their financial institutions to trace client funds that might be linked to trafficking and smuggling. Dhow traffic in the region should be regulated, while the International Maritime Organisation, in consultation with neighbouring countries and related organisations, should develop a practical monitoring programme for Somalia's 3,200-kilonmetre coastline, the second longest in Africa, it added. Though arms transfers by air had dropped in number, Somalia's neighbours should put all their airstrips under the control of their national airport regulators and should more closely monitor their own borders and their vehicular traffic, the report said. Source: All Africa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Hurdles and obsticles that block the road towards stability security and a greater semblences of normality remain within the southern region of the former republic of somalia. It seems well documented and the role that the previous and regining warlords play in maintaining the status qou is no longer an open secret, its practically a Fact. What hasnt been mentioned or debated or articulated is the role (if any)the civilian population and civil society ((or what is left of it)) play in maintaining this existing situation. The Warlords case is obvious and irrelevant to discuss, they have a vested interest in continuing the current anrachy. But what will take the rest of society to react and move from the passive state the currently seem to be exhibitng. Apart from returning somali's from the disapora, what other no-government ((or should i say non-warlord body)) exist oto challange and indeed act as a catylist towards greater security peace justice and normalty??

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert: During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why? The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

De Rossi and Gilardino Drive Azzuri Olympic Dream The Azzurrini were not about to throw away the first half as they had against the Africans and were aggressive from the start. It paid off, as within three minutes Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi had broken the deadlock in spectacular fashion. He met Giuseppe Sculli's cross with an acrobatic left-foot bicycle-kick into the top corner .
