Lets pray for peace yaa Jamaacah! Peace eh ? What is the peace you speak of, Xiin-ka ? -Is it Baashi's Peace-at-any-cost-including-the-unthinkable (Surrender and Support the TFG, Support the Ethiopians......er um for peace!!!, for peace's sake, I tell you) - Is it Chamberlain's(most famous appeaser in history) Peace-in-our-time ? - Or is it Anwar Sadat's Salaam Al-Shuj'caan(lol) Allow me to tell you my definition of Peace and may you too see the light. Ol' man Patrick Henry speaks for me and millions of Somalis when he says this: Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take;but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! I'm short on time laakin your analysis is woefully flawed and I don't know where to begin deconstructing it. Just wanted to comment on that 'peace' thingy. More on the rest later.

LOL@SB. Waraa you got a wicked sense of humour. Mansa Munsa, Abti is daji. This is a clan war no more, no less. A clan war which is even more complicated because there are no two clearly defined sides. The city of LA itself is divided(might be disporportinate, but divided nevertheless). Compounding all that is the fact that all sides in this conflict are dhabo-dhilifs beholden to and taking orders from Addis Abba and our Dearly Loved Adeer Zenwai. My only concern is for the civilians who are caught up in these clan shenanigans. As for the two militias and their respective clients, may they kill the crap out of each other in the open fields far way from the cities and villages. Ilaahay ha uu soo saaro Reer LA, rag uu kitaab-kiisa ku xukumaan oo labada dhabdo-dhilif ka cayriyaan.

Well, Ethiopians are dying by the scoreload, no doubt about that. Recently 3 truckloads of bakhti corpses and wounded soldiers were trucked to Bali-Doogle airport. So that's that. Soomalida aa kuu soo hartay: When a Somali stands shoulder to shoulder with the accursed Xabashi Occupation physically or morally, he ceases to become a Somali and sheds his snake-skin. It doesn't matter what flag he waves(Somalinimo, Qaranimo, Law & order'nimo) he is a low-born low-bred traitor that must be dealt with. His life has about the same value(or meaning, for that matter) as that of a cockroach. This isn't a case of Somalis-killing-each-other as you are wont to protray it. In this particular battle, you've got Somali Muslims facing off against Dhabo-dhilif militia of Cade 'Etho Protectorate' Muse. Who u wit ? Where does your alleigance lie ? Mase, ayaantaan waxaa popular ah, passive political-correct'ness ? Xaq stay Xaq. Baatil stay Baatil. Bullshyt stay Bullshyt. It's not too complicated. As my old high school teacher used to say: Shugul the Mukh(work your brain) Dare you speak the Xaq, yaa Che ?

Low ? Evil ? Where were you when entire neighborhoods of Xamar were being wiped out with heavy artillery ? When they were dragging wounded men and pregnant women out of hospitals and selling them to the Ethiopians and their torture chambers ? When they were stopping WFP & UN aid truckers at the reinstated Isbaaros No, brother. There's nothing more they can do that they haven't done already. Fa-sabrun saaca. And as sure as day follows night, there will be a Reckoning.

"Sidii naloo lahaa dembi ma laha oo waa been abuur yar (dembiga loo haystaa) ayaa nalagu yidhi Itoobiyaa la siiyey (loo dhiibey), " ayay tidhi Safiya Source The selling of Somali citizens by Somali dhabo-dhilifs continues unabated. In order to curry favour with Adeer Zenawi, they kidnap, murder, and/or transfer over nomads to the Ethiopian torture chambers. Riyaale's admin has played a leading role in gathering and 'outsourcing' anybody that speaks out against the Ethiopians and their occupation. Their MO: CID arrests them on trumped up charges, interrogates them on behalf of Xabashi intelligence, and as token of their abject alliegance, transfers them over to the Ethos. There will be a reckoning in this world before the next. Believe that.

47 years after independence and two wars with the Xabasha, Cade Muse officially delivers Puntland, a sizeable chunk of Somalia, as an Ethiopian Protectorate. Madaxweynaha Dowlad Goboleedka Puntland, Gen.

Mesfin waxa uu Puntland ku sasabay in iyagana loo ogolaalanayo in ay Qunsuliyad la shaqaysa Itoobiya ka furtaan Addis Ababa.

^^ Af-Ingriis-ka maa khu dhibaayo ? What part of that full sentence do you not understand ? Here, lemme restate it: The dhabo-dhilif'ic Xaaran ku Nax clan militia that currently occupies Kismayo, after defeating another dhabo-dhilif'ic xaraan ku nax clan militia(Af-Gaduud & Co), has murdered in cold blood another Scholar of Islam at the behest of, and to appease the Ethiopian occupiers. As if to say, "Look at us O Mighty Tigrays as we assasinate and kill old men who speak the Xaq and inspire the Somalis to take up arms to defend their Deen, their Dal, and their Dad against your Benevolent Enlightened Occupation. Worry not, because we, macsharal Xaaraan Ku Nax clan militia just like our fellow dhabo-dhilif clan militia in the Xabashi Protectorates of SL and PL, specialise in the ugaarsi(hunting) of any Ahlul-Cilm and handing them over to your Holy Worship. Eternally in your debt, Union of Ethiopian Dhabo-dhilifs(UED) Signatories Representing the Xaaran ku Nax Wadaad-Sellers in Kismayo: HornAfrique and Allamagan Representing the Xaaran ku Nax Wadaad-Sellers in Garowe: Duke and Emperor Representing the Xaaraan ku Nax Wadaad-Sellers in Hargeisa: Jacayl-Baro Does that answer your Q ?

I detect this discontent is caused by jealousy, if not the barely obvious disdain [and probably a profound hatred] against him, his personality and his family, because the simple reason he does not belong to their clans and does not propagate or side with their clans' viewpoint Bingo. Hammer on a nail camal aa ugu keentay. Sheekha-Jacayl-ka, Hunguri, and Mansa Munsa....read that quote again. If you guys want a Fox News service that presents your spin of the story.....BBC Somali Service that is not. And as recently reported by WaardheerNews, Jealousy is one of the leading causes of premature deaths.....and obesity....Iska ilaaliya. As MMA pointed out, the more calaacal that comes from diverse entities like SL, PL, and TFG.....that means the BBC Somali Service is on the right track and should do more of the same.

LOL@Geedi and his folks bonding.....That just cracked me up.....bonding...lool. Just one more reason why clan 'elders' should not and will not have any say in the future of Somalia. Look at them as they welcome the 'prodigal son' with open arms. The same son who presided over the two Massacres of Mogadisho in March and April of this year. Look at them as they stand their grinning like villiage id.iots. Why grin ye greedy bas.tards ? You have in ur midst a bona-fide war criminal who is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands and the displacements of hundreds of thousands...........and you smile ? Hold hands ? Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!! Walaa is cafiyay miyaa ? Cafi iyo masaamax aa ka dhacthay meesha and now, you are ready to be baptized as newly-ordained dhabo-dhilifs. Nice. I like that. They're done. No longer will clannist Ugaases, Garaads, Suldaans, and Gudoomiyes have any say in Somali affairs on the national level. From their sniveling silence when bold leadership is required, to their spirit of submission and surrender, to their lack of any guiding principles, the clan elders have closed the book on themselves. It's a new age in Somalia. A time for disciplined men of honour who actually posses this wierd thing called principles and this even wierder thing called values . Clan elders....You're fired. Queen Elizabeth camal aa naliga dhigaa. Dress in colourful 'traditional' clothes and get paraded like exotic animals during Independence Day celebrations and what not. Go around schools and give talks to 3rd graders about Somali history(conviently forgetting your shameful criminal role in it) That's all ur good for. Enjoy the last of ur rotten old days. And um, Eid Mubarak, Ugaas P.S. Forgot to point out that not all clan elders are rotten anachronism that need to be gotten rid of. Some do play a strong, principled role and step up to the plate when duty calls. Like that brave elder from Puntland(from Barqaal, I think) who gave a interview to the BBC during the run-up to war this past Decemeber, and announced his full support for the Islamic Courts and that he and his clan too would be implementing Sharia in their reigon. A direct challenge and slap to the face of Cade ' Xabashi Protectorate' Muse. So there are notable and honourable exceptions. But sadly, they are a rare and scarce species. As a whole, the 'Clan Elder' instituiton has gosta go. Gotta go yacni gotta go. No place for them in the New Somalia.

lol@waiting for Garoowe. Hadee aa clan warfare aa saas uga kulushahay, talo kafeecan, aduun iyo aakhiro-ba, aa ku hayaa, ee dhago yeelo, abti. Take all those men, shiny jeeps, and armoured trucks and use them to attack the Ethiopian camps in Galkacyo and Bosaaso, thereby opening up a new front in the Re-Liberation of Somalia campaign. The Xabashis will be overextended, their supply lines cut, and will beat a fast retreat. Mase sheekada waxay kaa taagantahay, hoob-kaas oo dhan oo meesha kuu safan, Soomali lee aa lagu laynaa and dheeg Soomaliyeed aa lagu daathinaa. Your bullets only know how to puncture Somali skin, miyaa ? Haraga Xabash'ta ma karto ? Start thinking for urself, abti. Ignore all this low-budget bullshyt hula-bula. Think big. Think Somalia. Think Islam.

but according to the media reports rash milita liquidated the said men after they believed them to be sabotaging the peace of the region by deliberately trying to call in the Ethiopians into the region Hadee been lasheegaayo, Been 'qurxoon' aa la sheega, and not something saan uu qaawaan. The two shaheeds were killed for aargoosi/revenge purposes. The night before, Muqaawama thorougbreds attacked a convoy carrying a Tigray intelligence officer. Some reports say he bakhti'd in the attack while others say he was severely wounded. Afterwards, in order to take revenge for the attack on the Ethiopian gaal, the dhabodhilifs then sought out these two prominent religious brothers and cowardly assasinated them. This was no 'rash militia' action. This was a dhuli-fied dhabo-dhilif attempt to appease the Ethiopian occupiers "Please don't come to Kismayo...see how we deal with any 'troublemakers'" There will be a reckoning, inshallah. The blood of our Culimaa will not be unanswered.

Source ? and edit it so that it fits the page better.

Yesterday’s traitors are sitting right among what I considered the pious few this sahwah had. Men whose relationship with Ethiopia has been in the public domain have been assigned to serious functions in this effort. What guarantees do you have that they wont revert to their ways? How do you trust them? What happens when foreign embassies approach them with the goods they worship and debrief them? How does the clan card play in these appointments? Does Ethiopia occupy the whole country or certain parts in the south? Some very good questions. Let's take a flashback into the Seerah of the Prophet and see if we can glean any answers. Ibn Salool, head of the Munafiqeen in Madeenah. A man who plotted to have the Prophet killed many times. A man who was actively consipiring to destroy the budding Islamic state. I could go on but you get the picture. Guess what ? Not only was he tolerated, but he kept his leadership position. The companions were furious and wanted to kill this cancer growing in the middle of them. The Prophet refused. Why, yaa Xiin ? For the Greater Good. That practicallity and strategical long-term thinking would be repeated many times throughout the Prophet's life. When he signed a treaty of alliance with the Jewish tribes residing in Madeenah(after which, they conspired to kill him and attack the Muslims from behind when Madeenah was besieged). When he signed the Truce of Hudaybiyah where to the shallow onlooker, it appeared the Muslims accepted weak terms and lost. Pragmatism and practicality, time and again. Not at the expense of principles and values, but in conjunction with them. Fast-forwad to today and the Asmara conference. Can you see the parallels ? It's easy to complain about this or that, but the fact remains: The Islamic Courts are the main force in Asmara. They're running the show. Aideed, Indocadde, what-have-you, were appointed for a purpose. Your objections would be valid if they were appointed in a peace-time setting, but we're at war, brother. The theatre of war is now centered in Mogadisho and hence, everything that is conducive to that effort will be done. Including appointing Aideed and Idacadde to positions of leadership. Gotta think long and large. Not short and shallow. One more flashback: The young Islamic state in Madeenah is surrounded by an army of 20,000 Arabs, an alliance that threatens to annhilate the small community of believers from the face of the earth. The Muslim rear flanks(where the women and children are) are exposed. The Jewish tribes have reneged on their treaty and are now on the verge of attacking from behind. Death stares at the Muslims from every angle. That's the dire situation when a man steps to the Prophet. He says he became a Muslim and wants to help disband the alliance and asks for permission *to lie* The prophet replies with the famous Hadeeth. "Al-Xarbu Khidca".(War is deceit) Our hero goes and lies and cheats his way to disbanding the 20,000 strong alliance and sowing mistrust and enmity between them. The alliance falls. One by one the Arab tribes pack their bags and go home. Al-xamdulilah Madeenah stands. War. Is. Deceit. We're at war, brudda, with all it's ugliness and dirt. And we will win, inshallah.

Originally posted by HornAfrique: Certainly Mogadishu was, but I can't think of any other place in the country. For starters: Kismayo and Jilib. There are news article and reports by the LA Times and Reuters where the residents of those two cities are interviewd where they talk about their yearning for the days when the Islamic Courts ruled and Sharia law was implemented = No more roadblocks(isbaaros), no more clan militia, no more narcotics and jaat.

Typical Somali, not accepting blame. They blame it on everybody else but themselves or much better they glorify it as Tahliil is doing it. You on crack, man ? Not accepting blame kulahaa. What blame is there to be had ? Lol, this nigga wants the G-haadi Thoroughbreds to apologise and 'accept blame' for standing in defense of Deen-ta, Dal-ka, and Dadka. There was and is only nobility, honor, sacrifice, courage, dignity, and thoroughness. Concepts you may not recognise thanks to the flip-floppin oppurtunism evident throughout ur posts. Yesterday with the traitorous TFG..and today, with the realest of the real ? Interesting leap of logic. The thoroughbreds who lined the fields of combat fighting against Ethiopian aggression don't need ur approval. Not then, and mos def not now. Try and remember that as history is being written in Somalia, you and your ilk are nothing but insignificant back-wash with nowhere to go. Relics of a bygone generation with no convictions but that of the Clan.....Al-Qabiil. In all seriousness brother JUJE those who died in Somalia shielding and protecting their homes from an external threat happen to be in my book noble, gracious, and honorable men…and women…and May they ALL THOSE BRAVE SOMALIS WHO NEED NOBODY’S GLORIFICATION rest in peace. Aamiin to that. Feted and lauded, even by the West, they need nor seek recognition or defense. Let the haters hate, Let the nitpickers pick-nit, and let the Sons of Somalia continue the fight forward for the liberation of their country. They died,those noble Somali men, for what they believed in ...a concept that seems totally alien to some SOL members Honour.....those who don't have it can never understand it. That's why they scratch their heads in confusion.

Fatxun minnallahi wa nasrun qareeb. Ilahoow umadaas masaakeenta uugargaar.

But as much as we despise Ethiopia’s mingling and support those who resist it Terminology-ga aa saxno horta. It's not mingling, or assitance, or support for the TFG. It's an occupation, abti. Gumeysi. Ixtilaal. Plain and simple. When Ethiopian soldiers setup camps all over Somalia, free to go when and where they wish, appointing and demoting leaders at whim, mingling that is not. The Asmara team seems to have lost the moment and succumbed to foreign pressure and compromised its leadership structure. Men with no credential or credibility emerged as its lead functions You're holding on to trifling grievances(justifiable ones, but still, very very trifling) that Socod and Paragon have rebutted at length in the other thread, laakin ka gudub. The million shilling question: Do you have an alternative ? I hear a loud Maya. Asmara, ugly as it is, is what you got. Give it all the constructive criticism you got, but you have no choice but to embrace it.......wholeheartedly. Waa hadaa serious tahay(which I don't doubt) The only other option is the one made by brothaman me: Sit by the sidelines and 'wait' till 'acceptable'(to one's psyche) leaders somehow magically form a liberation army. Where will these 'acceptable' leaders come from, and more importantly when ? Oh, nobody knows, it's just the politically correct answer. Wash your hands of the 'unacceptable' Asmara leaders, ditto the traitors of the TFG, and just wait till Neo, The One, comes along with a merry band of ethically and morally correct heroes to save the day. You're losing ur shine, Xiin-ka. Keep this 'non-reality' based reasoning up, and I'll be forced to strike you off my list of potential presidential candidates. You're in danger of losing the most critical voting bloc: Realists. My advice ? Baashi"Peace at any cost" Muhandis is a bad influence, ka gambi

^ Do you always view things in Qabil terms ? Since you typecasted the Asmara Conference as a clan meeting, would it be safe, according to Fahiye-logic, to conclude that the TFG is also a clan conspiracy ?

^^LOL, Waraa Naxar, bahasha ayada ahayd(youknowwhatimtalkin'bout, homey) durba way ku qabatay yaah. Difaac, Adeer. Saas baa kugu ogahay. And here was I thinking Xamiyatul Jaahiliya would be under control for Ramadan.

Meeshaan waxaa moodaa Annual Conference of Nitpickers. Each trying to outdo the other in their amazing political 'foresight' skills and 'purity'. Yacni, if the Asmara conference doesn't mesh with their 21st century yuppie'fied outlook, it's no good. Lol, waraa meesha comedy caadi ahayn aa ka socoto. Shirka Asamara wax maa ka sugaysay, said one. They lost me, I'm out, said a few other. Hate to be mean in Ramadan, laakin waa su'aal, you honestly think that you and your 'opinions' are worth 2 cents of Chineese money to the men on the ground ? Goorma aa iska dhaa-dhici-say that you're somehow indispensable to the liberation of Somalia. Lemme lay it to you gently: You're irrelevant. Ama cirka oo boodh ama dhul-ka isku garaac, the Muqaawama doesn't need your 'blessing' to wage war and Somalia will be liberated inshallah, in spite of your objections, macsharal nitpickers. To quote the one and only A.U.B, Caku iyo 'liberal' booq-badhan. About the topic, the appointment of Indocadde and Aideed Junior was a mistake, but not Armmagedon the nitpickers make it out to be, in my worthless personal opinion(Worthless, just like yours, gentle reader, because it emanates from cyber-space). I believe the 191 members of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia thought it out carefully and agreed that at this early stage, substance(men, money, arms) trumps style(PR campaign). Politics is a game to be played and those who insist on ideological 'purity' find themselves on the sidlelines. Aideed and Indocadde are no more than tools, being used because of their considerable influence and contacts. Feel free to object to that decision with fact-based reasoning, but squawking "Indocadde!! Indocadde!!" like a wounded chicken doesn't cut it.

it was burned coz they accused Burco of supporting the ICU and that is why reer burco were angry and burned the newspaper to show the contrary Beenta(barefaced lies) mar walba way xuntahay laakin especially so in Bisha Ramadan. Hada waxaa lasoo shir tag-tay Reer Burco are opposed to the ICU. If that's the case, then I would like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge Inshallah you will live long enough to see Ummada Somaliyeed united under Islam, as one cohesive nation, and Reer Burco and it's thoroughbreds at the frontlines of that cause, as they have always been.

^^ Dee kasoo qaybgala discussion-ka. Marti maxaa iskaga dhigayseen. Minan-ka Minan-keena waye Headin' out for Afur, Waa inoo iyo birito.

Great. We're making headway. Can you clarify what(or who) you mean by the two roomates, who insist on having the Ethiopian elephant stay put ? It doesn't matter really. There can no effective constructive dialogue/diplomacy under the shade of an MIG fighter-jet. Hence, diplomacy & dhib-usa-hisheen will have to take the back-seat to military struggle for the present and the forseeable future.........untill ---------> The opposition alliance "will not enter into any talks with the so-called transitional federal government before a complete withdrawal of Ethiopian occupation army from Somalia," the statement also said Source. The way forward as I see it. 1-Ethiopia withdraws(or is forced out, all the same) 2-The TFG recognises it's precarious vulnerable status and they start clamouring for 'dialouge'. 3-At which point it's made clear to them(Gheedi, Yusuf, Qeybdiid, etc), that they no longer will have any role in any future government. At best, they can cut a deal to go into exile. 4- The REAL Reconcillation conference is held(now that the country is liberated) and a pan-Somali, rooted in Islamic princples & values, government is built, from the ground up. Any talk of power-sharing or negotiated settlement is unrealistic and it ain't a-happenin'. Democrats and Republicans can share power, and they do. Congress = Dems. Executive Office = Repubs. But answer me this: How do you 'share power' with the men responsible for one of the worst indiscriminate attacks of a civilian city in recent history(EU calls it a war crime, not me) ? How do you 'share power' with men who actually bought nuclear waste to bury it in our soil ? How do you 'share power' with Ethiopian dhabo-dhilifs who owe their entire 'success', and thus, their alleigance(critical factor), to the financial and military might of our Dearly Loved Adeer Zenawi ? You're smarter than this, Baashi. We both know that this TFG entity is a non-starter, a non-option. They are simply another variable on the ground that must be dealtwith. You somehow think that by 'dialouging' and diplomacy'ing, peace will be achieved. I call that whistling in the wind of bitter reality. Now that the dirin process utterly failed(as noted by western observers, too) in Xamar with that sham of a conference, what other recourse do you have ? Lay out a case(the way forward), abti.
