The I.C.U were already aligned with these groups in particular the O.N.LF. Jabhada Xoreynta Somali Galbeed(not O.N..L.F) was previously called "Alitixaadka Somali Galbeed". Perhaps they should have not made this alliance so public. One wonders if Zenawi will be led into a regime change in Eritrea by the Americans?

lol, I was there. It was actually good fun. Apart from a bit of fuss here and there, nobody got hurt and they were using bigger gloves. But I hear it didn't go down to well with the Haram crew! Also the event wasn't actually inside the Mosque, but in hall next to the Mosque. But they do have boxing facilities at that mosque!

Why are you surprised?

The New Ethiopia 1. Rebellion in Ocadenia 2. Rebellion in Oromia 3. Border war with thousands dead in Eritrea border 4. The "New Ethiopia" sponsored and armed Somali Warlord for 16 years and has now put them in power 5. The new Ethiopia is dominated by one Group( Tigrays) 6. Thousands dead in Somalia and continuing in Somalia! 7. Genocide commited in Anuak! 8. New terror prisons and guantanamos! Quote:which contradicts the tenets of Islam as peaceful, tolerant and accommodating Islams and Muslims are not "accomodating, peaceful or tolerant when you invade their land and violate their religion. Quote:The opening of the Ethiopian Embassy in the capital of Somalia was one of the remarkable events in the history of the Horn. Yes it was, A man calling himself the Somali prime minster hoisted the flag of an invading nation in the Somali capital. It would probably rank as one of the greatest lows in Somali history. Quote:Mesfin also reminded the people that the Somali and Ethiopian people are brothers and neighbors and what they need is to move forward We don't have anything against the common Ethiopian people. But we have a problem when their army violates and mistreates our people in Somali Galbeed and know Southern Smalia. Quote:“the only enemy we share is poverty but we are not enemies,” he said. I would have thought that Mr Goth would have shared Ethiopia's common enemy, namely radical Islamists and expansionist fundamental Muslims. Surely poverty is not the only enemy of Somaliland and Ethiopia?Aren't these radical Muslims imposing a foreign culuture on Somaliland and Ethiopia? Quote:It is a fact that we are one people, No it is not fact that we are "one people". I would have thought that mr Goth like his elder brother Bashir, belongs to an entirely different country called Somaliland. So who is the "one" people? Quote:we share many things and we need each other. You mean, you as in your Brother Bashir Goth and other Somalilanders desperately need Ethiopia, thus you are concerned about the support being given to your nemesis Abullahi Yusuf? You wish more Zenawi could give more interest to Somaliland and Riyaale? Quote:It is a fact that we are one people, we share many things and we need each other. How by invading our country and kiling thousands of Somalis? Quote:Forgetting the gloomy past history is very important for us and for the coming generations. The gloomy history such as? mm 1977, well it's 2007 and Ethiopian armies are arresting, detaining and killing Somali citizens in Muqdisho. As much as Mr Goth would like to paint a rosy picture, the future youth of Muqdisho will never forget the pain inflicted on them by the invading armies of Meles Zenawi! Quote:My religion and culture is peaceful and tolerant. I am not against anybody except those who do not want stability and revel in killing the innocent people. We need to strive for justice, equality, respect for our cultural differences and religious beliefs; not arrogance and imposing our political views at home by force and terror. Every true Muslim is for peace, justice and Equality. But we are not for Meles Zenawi, a man who kills people who protest against elections. If peace and justice means occupations, imperliasm, helicopters, tanks and the violation of the Somali people. Then we reject this and we will never accept this as long as we live!Contrary to some beliefs, Islam is not merely sitting in a mosque and doing Dikr. Islam is for self defence, bravery and honour, but without harming innoncent people! Quote;not arrogance and imposing our political views at home by force and terror This would be handy advice to Mr Goth's friend and hero Meles Zenawi! Quote:I hope the Somalis would finally find the peace and stability that eluded them for so long Yes we all agree on this!Ameen or Amen if Meles Zenawi is your saviour(acudubillah), as some Somalis believe! But not this: Quote:thanks to the political vision and regional leadership of Ato Meles of Ethiopia The Somali people can sort out their own problems and reconcile without Catto Meles Zenawi.Those who benefit, gain and seek to preserve their secular, clan and seccionist ideologies belief that Atto Meles Zenawi is the saviour of Somalia. Their interest doesn't lie with the Somali people,rather their aformentioned interests!

Quote:In Somalia, you can sell anything because everything is lacking Tell Mr Paddy Somalia is not for sale, go back and fix your own country! Also Mr Paddy is suppose to be neutral not talking about Ethiopian endeavours/emulation and whatnot. Quote:His Worship Mohamad Dere and other VIPs. Is he being called "His Worship" because he is a war "Lord" or is their another reason.

Yes, one of the founding fathers of S.Y.L was Somali Bantu, Sheikh Sakhardiin I think it was. Nassib Bundo also led a rebellion against slavery.

Quote:hope the Somalis would finally find the peace and stability that eluded them for so long thanks to the political vision and regional leadership of Ato Meles of Ethiopia. http://www.hiiraan.com/op2/2007/jun/welcoming_the_era_of_somali_ethiopian_companionship.aspx More agents come out of their closets to laud the attention of their newly crowned emperor and saviour Ato Meles Zenawi! Where do they get them from?

The guy is not a Muslim and he believes Islam is for Arabs.

@Dhulqar, anywhere I can read this?

Funny really, a third world African dictator copying George Bush. Muqdisho will be the ultimate faliure of Atto Meles Zenawi, no matter how many secret visits he makes there!

Quote:What is the drive behind their campaign , what are they after? virtue? decency? Why don't get in contact with them and ask them if you are so concerned? Maybe Ayan Hersi has the answer?

@Duke, I will respond to your "facts" at another time.

If " we" or " you" in Puntland, whatever that means defeated Hassan Dahir Aweys affliates before. Then why not defeat another meer " 30" men who came on boats? Is the mighty Puntland Army not capable of handling 30 men?

Quote;you give me an instance were a country supposedly occupies another yet recognizes that countries government? Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Chechnya, Lebanon etc.... Didn't the United Nations pass a U.S sponsored bill preventing any neighbouring troops from sending troops into Somalia. Furthermore, didn't they pass another bill calling all "foreign forces" to withdraw from Somalia? Quote:The Somali parliament as well as the cabinet requested assistance from any quarter and Ethiopia was the one country that came due to in part to the heavy and outright illegal involvement by its rival Eritrea and the rebel groups and international terror networks. No technicalities here the AU, IGAD The Somali parliament never called or asked Ethiopia to intervene on the behalf of Somalis. Yes they passed some motions in support of Ethiopian invasion had occured. Howeover, the Somali cabinet did and does not have the constitutional right to ask another state to intervene and send thousands of troops into Somalia. Hence the reason why they totally denied the presence of all Ethiopian troops in Somalia. The last time Ethiopian forces were mentioned Somali parliamentarians came pshyical blows. The strange thing is that Meles Zenawi gained the consent of the Ethiopian parliament to launch a war in Somalia, but the Somalis that supposedly "invited them" never gained or got the support from the Somali parliament. I ask and challenge Duke to name me on instance were Somali Parliamentarian prior to the invasion/war allowed or authorised their troops? Thus the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia broke all international laws. Lastly, Mr Duke is trying to mislead the gallery by claiming that there is a new Ethiopia which is apparently friendly to Somalis! I'll go into this in another time!

No comment!

Although I am not a great fan of the Alitixad Al Islamiya. I believe they don't have the knowhow to rule Somalia, unless they moderate their policies. Sheikh Hassan's stance on the occupied Somali territories, Somali unity and Ethiopian aggression have to be commended. One must also respect his resolve and firmness in sticking to his ideology during th years. I don't think the man is a saint, but the comparisons between him and Somali warlords is unfair. @Ngone, funnily enough I agree with most of what you say. But please explain what you mean by this: Quote:The only other way open to all is to WORK with the TFG

posted July 22, 2006 20:43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Duke:Saxiib, do not put words in my mouth.I do not accept this invasion of Ethiopia... I take as part of the propoganda war.. Now I support the TFG, but not every action, its my choice to give my support and to take it back..

Foreing fighters could mean wearing a cimamad....

Quote:This Ethiopia is not the old hegemonic state it’s a Federal one and those in power are not coveting Somalia. One which terrorises and occupies Somalis in Somali Galbeed, indeed this a new Ethiopia( run by a tribal elite).

Abu Sembel Hotel logo you are in the embrace of the history

which 1 the one in Somalia, Ethiopia or Cuba? sxb, it wasn't even a prediction, you scream Alqaeda this that, you bet some boys will be on target practice. I also wait for the usual from the media "Alqaeda suspects killed". Am hearing/reading many people died, May Allah have mercy on them.

Waa Wax Yaab le. Apparently thirty men( on boats) took over a town and then baam baam boom you have the Yanks. Somali traitors don't care who gets bombed. They have been saying there are Alqaeda in Somalia( shimbiraale) way before the I.C.U.
