I have no problem with people who oppose the TFG due to its clumsy/inept style of governance, but for the sake of our nation, we must stop supporting groups that promote aimless violence and bloodshed. Blantantly encouraging groups like Al Shabab to keep up their attacks against the government and not sit down for peace talks does not give us a way out of this quagmire we find ourselves in. I beleieve it is misguided NOT to support the peace talks. Originally posted by Username: The only way forward is to support the somali government and the peace process.

Jacaylbaro, Saaxiib caawa mawaxaa ka dhacday miyaa..."Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.” Ninyahow bahasha naga kala yaree. Those two old men took part in negotiations to sort out their squabbles-which turned out to be quite successful, I must say. Now as you know any negotiation that is not profitable to the other person will in the end prove unprofitable for you. Therefore a bargain that yields mutual satisfaction for both parties involved is always the only way to go. Paul Getty once said something along the lines “You must never try to make all the money that’s in a deal. Let the other fellow make some money too, because if you have a reputation for always making all the money, you won’t have many deals"...Now we now through this agreement in Addis, El Presidente cut our beloved prime minister some slack. Now you wrote that, El Presidente Yuusuf will have to allow the dismissal of Maxamed Dheere. But you should know that it wont happen UNTIL an indepedent commitee investigates the causes of the sudden axing of the mayor. If the mayor is found deserving to be sacked, then a free and fair election will be held to elect a new mayor and governor of Benadir region. As for the implementation of the Djibouti agreement, El Presidente is and has always been a supporter of any wadahadal that will help solve our national ills. Now when you said,the ministers that resigned will be given diferent jagooyin, am sure that aint a big deal especially now that the number of government ministers has been increased to 23 officers and that the president insisted on their return. You also forgot to add that the Prime minister has agreed(asagoo laga baryin) that the President has the power and final say in the actions of the executive branch of the TFG. He has to consult with the president when appointing new ministers and the president must aprove their appointments. Prime minister Nuur Cadde was also ordered to propose within the coming 15 days, a budget for the national parliament to debate and approve. Now Mr Jacaylbaro, I hope you will take my humble post as assistance to your enlightenment, especially now that you're more interested in the goings on of mother Somalia instead of the politically shallow seccessionist dreams from up north. I know Somalidiid politics is quite monotous and boring. You're more than welcome to inaad nala walaaqatid siyaasadeena. But take great care, we just might impregnate you with our positive anti-Somaalidiid vibes....enjoy saaaxiib dhulQarnayn :cool: Republic Of California.

Somalia: A popular uprising in Kismayo Frankly, in Somalia, there is no politics without clans. Make no mistake: the swift, righteous takeover of Kismayo port in southern Somalia by Islamist fighters is no ‘al Qaeda’ plot. Undoubtedly, many people will feed the Americans and the Ethiopians with misinformation linking Kismayo’s liberators to international terror groups and cavemen like Osama bin Laden. This has been the mantra since 2006, when the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) first liberated the Somali capital Mogadishu from American-financed, Ethiopian-armed warlords renowned for 16 years of brutality. The strategy of backing despised warlords backfired and provided the catalyst for the popular rise of the ICU, whose fighters soon seized most of south-central Somalia and were welcomed by the cheering thousands. In Kismayo, local clans lived under the oppressive rule of armed clans from the central regions since 1999. Hundreds of local families were displaced from their Kismayo homes and forced to live in refugee camps in Kenya, while the invading clans from central Somalia (Mare-han and Habar Gedir) illegally and immorally lived off the land, the port and the airport. Frankly, in Somalia, there is no politics without clans. While the Mare-han are part of the Da'rod clan-family, the Habar Gedir belong to the H'awiye clan that dominates the central regions and Mogadishu. But their alliance was based on common political and economic interests. This point can be easily explained. In September 2006, Col. Barre Hirale, a Mare-han warlord, refused to join the Habar Gedir-led ICU agenda aimed at destroying Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG), led by President Abdullahi Yusuf (Da'rod-Majorteen). Hirale’s Habar Gedir ally in Kismayo, Mr. Yusuf Mire Serar, switched alliances to the ICU, magically transforming from a bloody warlord to a dedicated, religious man overnight. Hirale and his Mare-han militias, who thrived in Kismayo with Habar Gedir backing, fled the port town and rushed to President Yusuf’s home base in Baidoa. Not surprising, when the Mare-han militias failed to tow the Habar Gedir agenda, they were easily dismantled from power in Kismayo and forced to live under Yusuf’s shadow. In January 2007, Ethiopian-backed Somali government troops invaded Kismayo and the ICU scattered – splintering into radicals and moderates, clans and sub-clans. As a bloody insurgency erupted in Mogadishu, Ethiopian forces withdrew from Kismayo in March that year, leaving the town under the control of Da'rod-dominated government troops. A month later, the government troops – which an easily be substituted for ‘clan militias’ – divided along clans; namely, Mare-han soldiers versus Majorteen soldiers. The Mare-han troops captured Kismayo, forcing soldiers and TFG-appointed regional administrators belonging to other Da'rod clans to flee to safety. Consequently, flagrant violations of human rights were well-documented by local organizations who reported acts of indiscriminate killings, rape and robbery of property belonging to non Mare-han civilians. In Kismayo, an alliance of local clans fought for their God-given right to live free in the land of their fathers' fathers. They bravely liberated Kismayo so their children can walk and play in peace, and their women's honor and dignity is respected. That local clans sought Islamist support is no surprise; the TFG, preoccupied by the insurgency, neglected Kismayo and allowed brutal militias to suppress the local population. Simply, what happened in Kismayo is a popular uprising, not against the UN-recognized TFG, but against illegal militias who arrogantly refused to recognize the very TFG the world has spent so much resources defending. The days of warlord-rule are over! The international community, namely the U.S. Government, should not be misled by 'al Qaeda' allegations and drawn into another quagmire, which would spread the insurgency like a wildfire across Somalia's deep south. Today, Islamist fighters control most of south-central Somalia; recently, it took Ethiopian troops eight days to travel the 250km-road linking Mogadishu to Baidoa, because they were repeatedly ambushed. If the TFG, or its Ethiopian military backers, attempt to retake Kismayo by force, the insurgency will gain many supporters in regions like Puntland, the TFG's main domestic backer and President Yusuf's stronghold. A wise policy would avoid such a predictable catastrophy

Abu-Mansuur wuxuu kaloo sheegay in ay si rasmi ah ubilaabayaan Adeegyadii dadweynaha ee Garoonka diyaaradaha & dekeda weyn ee Magaalada Kismaayo. “Waxaan dadweynaha Kismaayo usheegaynaah hadii aanu nahay Al-Shabaab in aan wadeyno dadaalada nabadeed ,waxaanu dagaal adag kula jirnaa cid walboo wax gumeysaneysa,waxaan dagaal kula jirnaa Qabaa’ila iyo wax walboo ka horimaanay Shareecada Islaamka” Ayuu yiri Afhayeenka Al-Shabaab. Munaasabadan ay hadalada ka jeediyeen xubnahan ka tirsan kooxaha qabsaday magaalada Kismaayo ayaa Wariye ka tirsan AllPuntland oo isku dayey arkida xubnaha hadalada jeedinayaa ayaa loo diiday in lo sii daayo ,halkii ay joogaan madaxdii hadalada jeedinayey.

Kismaayo -Mid ka mid ah Saraakiisha ururka Al-Shabaab ee hoggaamineysay kooxaha la wareegay gacan ku heynta magaalada Kismaayo ee gobolka J/Hoose oo la yiraahdo Sh. Xasan Yacquub ayaa markii ugu horeysay Saxaafadda ugu waramay ujeedada ay ula wareegeen gacan ku heynta magaala xeebeedka Kismaayo ee istiraatiijiga ah, wuxuuna sheegay Wadaadka in ujeedada ay ka leeyihiin la wareegida Kismaayo in ay tahay sidii ay halkaasi ugu hirgelin lahaayeen ku dhaqanka Shareecadda Islaamka iyo in laga ciribtiro Kismaayo kooxo uu sheegay in ay u adeegayeen wax ku sheegay Caddowga dalka ku soo duulay. Sh. Xasan ayaa hadalkiisa intaa raaciyay in qorshaha ugu horeeya ay tiigsan doonaan in ay tahay sidii shacabka Kismaayo ay ugu xukumi lahaayeen Kitaabka Alle iyo Shareecadda iyadoo hadii ay hirgashana uu sheegay in ay u sii gudbi doonto magaalooyin ka baxsan Kismaayo kuwaasi oo uusan carabka ku dhufan wadaadka. Mar uu ka hadlayey kooxaha la wareegay gacan ku heynta magaalada Kismaayo qeybaha ay u qeybsamaan ayuu sheegay in ay ahaayeen wax uu ku sheegay Mudadawaciin Islaamiyiin ah oo ka kala socday Maxkamaddaha Islaamiga iyo Ururka mayalka adag ee Al-Shabaab, wuxuuna sheegay in ay isku soo baheysteen sidii meesha looga saari lahaa maliishiyooyin uu ku sheegay in ay ahaayeen kuwo qabiil oo dadka dhibaato ku hayey. Dhinaca kale waxaa caawa magaalada Kismaayo wararka ka imaanaya ay sheegayaan in kooxaha qabsaday magaaladaasi ay bilaabeen baaritaano ay ka fulinayaan xaafadaha magaalada, iyagoo bartimaadsanaya guryo gaar ah oo maalmihii u danbeeyay ku sugnaayeen maliishiyooyinka laga saaray Kismaayo. Dadka magaalada Kismaayo ayaan weli soo bandhigin fikradooda ku aadan la wareegida ururka Al-Shabaab ee magaalada Kismaayo, iyadoo horay markii ay Maxkamaddihii Islaamiga markii ay la wareegeen ay kaga hortageen Bannaanbaxyo rabshado wehliya, balse xiligan u muuqda kuwo afkooda qabsaday.

^^Dear Zack, my intention was NOT to make sense and NOT to be funny, d'ah! So lets just enjoy our CAANO BOORE and celebrate the victory in Kismayo.

Warar naga soo gaaray Kismaayo ayaa waxee sheegayaan in ciidamadii ku mushquulsanaa inay qabsadaan magaalada bilihi lasoo dhaafay, ee aad uga xunyihiin iyagoon ka qayb gali waayeen dabaal dagii munaasibada maalinta qaxoontiga aduunka. 'sheikh' Hassan Turki oo arintaas aad uga xun ayaa shacabkii wuxuu ku qanciyey inuu waa dambe dagaal uuna galin doonin malin ay tahay xusida maalinta qaxootiga. 'sheikh' Turki wuxuuna ku maslaxay shacabka kiintaalo CAANO BOORE ah, taasoo dadkii ku abuurtay farxad aan la koobi karin. Anyway, I know it aint much, but I wanna dedicate this S-O-N-G to those 'brave' soldiers who took over Kismayo, and who were unable to take part in the festivities.

Wararka ka imaanaya magaalada kismaayo ayaa waxeey ku waramayaan in dagaal socday afar saacadood lagu bur buriyey dhamaan awoodii Maliishiyada Xildhibaan Bare Aadan Shire Hiiraale oo isaga kaliya uu ka baxsaday, waxaa dhamaan isdhiibay maliishiyada iyo saraakiishii Xildhibaan Bare Hiiraale.

Wadooyinka waa weyn ayaa waxaa isugu soo baxay boqalaal dadweyne ah oo daawanaya Maliishiyada magaalada gacan ku heynteeda la wareegay, iyadoo dhinaca kale meydad iyo dhaawacyo hor leh laga soo qaadayo aagagii ay maaanta ka dhaceen dagaalada qaraar. Dagaalkii maanta ayaa waxaa ku nafweyday ugu yaraan 60 dhaawacuna 80 ka koobnaa maliishiyaadkii ay dirirta ku dhaxmartay magaalada gudaheeda iyo daafaheedaba. Xildhibaan Bare Aadan Shire Hiiraale ayaa waxaa lagu waramayaa in uu u baxsaday Tuulada Qaam Qaamka oo dhanka bari kaga beegan kuliyadii Jaale Siyaad ee Lugloow oo duleedka magaalada kismaayo ku taal, waxaana halkaasi ku horfadhiya maleeshiyaadkii dirirta ay ku soo dhaxmartay magaalada kismaayo gudaheeda oo uu hogaaminayo Af-hayeenka Al-shabaab Rooboow Abuu Mansuur. Dagaalkii maanta lagu qaaday maleeshiyada Xildhibaan Bare Hiiraale ka qeyb qaatay shirkadaha isgaarsiinta ee magaalada Kismaayo, taas oo qadkii ka jaran guud ahaan magaalada Kismaayo kedibna u gudbinayey dhaqdhaqaaqa iyo halka ay ku sugan yahiin maleeshiyada Xildhibaan Bare Hiiraale Xarakaadka Al-shabaab.
