That is if we believe the: confidential sources told Garowe Online

ADDIS Ethiopian Foreign Ministry officials have blamed the leader of Somalia's Puntland region for rising insecurity during a meeting with interim Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, confidential sources told Garowe Online. http://allafrica.com/stories/200802150810.html

@Bixii,Semantics aside: Hassan Turki and the other people I mentioned were/are part of USC? Alitixaad was/is part of the USC? Who is the police Chief of the T.F.G? No former USC members were/are still part of the T.F.G? Thus, not everybody knows that USC/ICU are one in the same. The people who believe that have no evidence to back their claims! This can easily be refuted by the fact the Alshabaab grouo compromised recruits from every region of Somalia and even included Muslims from other parts of the world. No one has ever heard recruits from Somaliland, Puntland, Ocadenia and N.F.D travelling to Muqdisho to fight alongside the USC like they did with theI.C.U/Alshabaab. Adan Ceyrow is said to be a renegade man whom his clan and his mentor Aweys have little control over. His ideology and way of thinking is probably more closer then Osama Bin Laden than the late Aideed! Both T.F.G and I.C.U are not singular clan organisations as such. They both compromise/d a rane of coalitions,warlords, clan militias and Islamists( I.C.U commanders). So an organisation having links with another and perhaps even forming alliances doesn't make those two entities the same. It's like saying Alqaeda in Iraq and the Iraqi tribal fighters are one in the same. They have the same enemies, but their ideologies and tactics vastly differ.

There isn't a difference unless you think there is no difference between Alitixaad Al Islamiya and the USC. No difference, if you think the likes of Hassan Turki, Dahir Aweys, Ceyrow and Abu Mansur are part and parcel of the USC.... Of course if you mean "USC" as the term for an entire clan as opposed to a rebel movement, then that is a different case.

So the I.C.U and U.S.C are one in the same now?

where's that? your couch?

Where do Puntland and SOmaliland end and stop?

I think I might regret that..... I saw Arsenal's long injury list while I was eating a kebab on the Skysports......... But I am gonna stick with my predictions....

Your Heart is the Pillar of Your Worship by 'Abdullah 'Azzam (may Allah have Mercy upon him) "...the heart is the machine that drives all acts of worship. It is what moves the entire body! As long as the heart is alive, then the limbs will be alive, and the soul will open itself up to worship. However, if the heart becomes diseased, then worship will become too heavy on the soul, leading to it eventually disliking and hating - and we seek refuge with Allah from this - worship. Because of this, Allah - the Glorified and Exalted - said, regarding the prayer: {"...and truly, it is extremely heavy and hard except on those who are submissive..."} [al-Baqarah; 45] The prayer is heavy, because one's legs and hands are not what get up for the prayer. What gets up for the prayer are the heart and the soul. {"Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for the prayer, they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allah but little."} [an-Nisa'; 142] Because of this, it is the heart that stands up for worship. The limbs are simply slaves of this heart, carrying out what it commands them. If the heart is alive, then the soul will be alive, and worship will become beloved and sweetened to the hearts and the souls, and they will open up for it. However, if the heart becomes diseased, then worship becomes too heavy on it. The heart is like the digestive system: right now, the most beloved thing to you is meat. However, if you develop an ulcer somewhere in your digestive system, then the meat - along with its fat and oil - becomes the most hated thing to it, since it is diseased. Sweets are also something that are beloved to the soul. For example, if you were fasting right now and were to break your fast on some desserts, then your soul would become satisfied with that, right? However, if one were to be stricken with diabetes, then he would not be able to handle these sugary foods, even if they were beloved to him. The heart is like this: it must be strong so that it can handle worship that is strong. The stronger your heart becomes, then throw as much worship upon it as you wish. You would get up to pray at night, and you would cherish this prayer and consider sleep to be your enemy: {"Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope..."} [as-Sajdah; 16] He begins to forsake it because an enmity develops between him and his bed. He prays behind the imam, and he says to himself: "If only he would make the prayer longer," so that he would increase in his opening up to this worship, and his tasting of its sweetness. At times, I would pray a normal prayer with the people behind me, so I would elongate the prayer. The youth would then come to me and say (the hadith): "Whoever leads the people in prayer should go easy on them," - the youth! And there was an old man behind me who was between 90 and 100 years of age - his face filled with light - and he would say to me: "Keep making the prayer long and do not answer them." A man of 90 years getting pleasure out of a long prayer, and a youth of 20, who probably practices karate and judo, cannot handle the same prayer. Why? If he went to the soccer field and spent two hours playing there without becoming bored, then why would he become bored from hearing the Qur'an for five minutes? The difference between a short prayer and a long prayer is simply five minutes, so why does he become bored from these five minutes of Qur'an, yet he does not become bored from two hours of soccer? Why does he not get bored from standing for two hours staring at an inflated piece of leather, his heart attached to it? Because, what stands up to pray is the heart, and what stands up for sports are simply the body and muscles." [From a lecture given by 'Abdullah 'Azzam on June 15, 1988 entitled 'The True Preparation,' found in the collection 'at-Tarbiyyah al-Jihadiyyah wal-Bina''; 1/220]

Cajiib isn't it: Sheikh Shariff is criminal, Abdullahi Yusuf is a criminal and Mr Nur is literally the newly found "white-light"( as his name translates to) of Somalia?

The amount of children( 2nd or third generation) that write their language is logically declining amongst all ethnicities. However, one could say it is increasing at a faster with regards to Somalis. That is because other communities have homework clubs and communities that teach people how to write their home languages. I highly doubt that there are many places in London that teach how to write Somali properly. It's people like yourself who should really be setting up once a week classes for Somali children/youngsters @ your local community or school halls. .........

How about if i tel that i predict that: 1.Man Utd lose in fa cup 2. Arsenal will trimuph over AC milan and Barcelona will not win CL? watch the space.....

your right dHagaha laga garacya AC MILAN.........

quote:The argument is that one could not be in a position to talk about the idea of negotiating with those who opposed Mr. Nur Cadde's reliance of Ethiopia (which is the insurgent's view) on one hand; and at the same time speak so eloquently about your subservience attitude for the same forces that have caused the insurgents to take up arm against you, in the first place, on the other hand. Pointing out this simple contradiction in the man's actions and even in his job, will by interpreted as some as a sign of advocating for children, women and civilians to be killed

u see the guy with khamees and hoody...strange combination...

Man UTD against Arsenal boyz.....

Originally posted by Shar ma'arke: quote:Originally posted by Abdillah: [QB] Why has it become almost fashionable, nowadays, for almost all somali kids growing up in the west to claim, "I can barely speak spoken somali, and I can't write it at all". It is really sad. Speaking Somali is considered(in some Somali environs)being uncivilised . I kind of grew up in such an evironment. Afrikaanimo iga dheh! Contrary to the European societies(who are deemed to be civilised and we love to simulate) are so proud of their languages and traditions. And even push their children to learn their mother tongue/tradition even if they are born outside their home country. Growing up I remember waan ka faani jirnay in aan cunno Ugali(soor). And now I envy Norwegians who eat a thousands old meal every thursday(young and old in every homestead). You'll find Somali, Swahili, Norwegian and of course Ingiriis in my language thesaurus. How do u expect young Somalis kids growing up in the West or Carabaha to write Somalia unless their parents teach them or send them to some kind of tutor?
