Nayruus was on board with the TFG and then defected to Clan Courts when he heard Turki and the Kismayu take over. You have all the secesionist coming from Burco-Hargaysa-Berbera traingle, including yourself, Red Sea, Northerner, Ayoub Shiekh, Suldanka. All are on board with hating the Clan Courts except when it is facing their old enemy Yusuf, the unionist and Federalist. They would like to see the Clan Courts destroy, Puntland and the TFG while itself getting weaker. MMA, with his many guises, gets upset when ever the RRA has a bad day and resents any percieved weakness from his clan. Thus pointing the finger at me alone or Puntlanders is misplaced The Dukestar, Macalinka waynaa aaba iska iloobthay, see camal, duqa Waa waa ma maqli jirtay, Soomali oo America ku dhumeen(lost) 1400's-kee, before Christopher Columbus ?

She’ll never make it,” Mr. Saeed said, looking away from his sister. “Oh yeah?” she replied, her eyes widening. “A Muslim woman is not allowed to travel alone,” he said. “What about working?” she said, her voice quivering. “Look at your wife, she works!” “She likes to spend time here,” he said. Ms. Hamdan ran from the store crying. “She won’t make it,” Mr. Saeed told a reporter after she left. “Woman always weak. She need a man to protect her.” Later, when Ms. Hamdan heard what her brother had said, she was silent. “Why didn’t he protect me?” she said. Yet even as she felt herself changing, she remained steady in her faith. She never stopped praying five times a day. She attended the base’s mosque each Friday and fasted through the holy month of Ramadan. On a recent Friday, she sat with her eyes closed on the mosque’s embroidered carpet, wearing a white veil and skirt over her Army fatigues. NYT feature story What a woman. Although I disagree with her decision-making(removing the hijab, joining the Army), You can't help but marvel at the strength she shows everytime life deals her a fatal blow. And her never-ending faith in Allah(SWT). Inspiring story, runtii. In her own words Respect, ukhtii.

^ Thanks, JB. I'm honoured. Only a Muslim would want Islam and it's values to reign supreme. Only a brainwashed refugee/'enlightened' secularist would want otherwise. Next time, don't use quoatation marks with Allah's name. I know, I know, you don't belive in Him, your choice. Just show some respect. Gracias.

^ Duqa, you're running aground here. OK, the ICU and the TFG aren't officially at war, and thus, the courts can't take credit for the successful ambush. SO WHAT ? Semantics ma koo soo laabanay ? They're in a state of war. In other words, they're killing each other. In other words, they're shelling each others position with these things called mortars and artiellery. War, believe it or not, is at hand. Can't believe we're arguing this obvious fact !! Once you concede that fact(war is a-happenin'), your charge of treachery by the Courts falls flat on it's face. You still won't(can't) answer the question: Why should the Courts, or any group affiliated with the Courts for that matter, NOT attack any goverment troops they find ? Especially a big, fat, juicy target like the Minister of Defence and his convoy. This is a prime example of what I mean by intelligent men being reduced to simpeltons by Al-Qabil. Adeer Hiraale gets ambushed and HA loses his reasoning marbles. I feel you, man. You in a tight spot whatwith the whole kinship thing, but next time, come up with something better than "Don't attack Hiraale because a) he's my uncle, yo( , kidding) b) he's a Somali Muslim with lineage, and c)war hasn't been announced yet so let him waltz all around the country in full military uniform with his merry band of askaris...........unharmed!"

Plus, let's all give a round of applause to the Courts for conducting a successful military operation outside of civillian areas. Ilaahay ha uu naxareesto the men that got killed and wounded, but they were military men who knew what they were getting themselves into. Civillians, they were not.

Here are a few things wrong with that picture: a) Semantics and diplomatic-positioning aside, both sides(TFG and the Courts) are effectively at war. Fuel embargos, encirclement of Baidoa, skirmishes, attacks and counter-attacks(Diinsoor, Burhakabo, etc) all attest to that fact. No side has to formally declare war for that to be the case. Of course, the Courts say they recognise the TFG, but that's simple smart P.R. and politics. If they weren't at war before, they sure as heck became so the minute Etho soldiers pitched their tents in Baido and Galkacyo. b) Now, if both sides are at war(let's be honest), why can't the Courts target Barre Hirale, the Minister of Defense(War), and goverment troops. Are you seriosly suggesting that they shouldn't simple because: "Hiiraale was a Somali, Muslim man whose lineage testifies to that fact". Filinka waxaa wadaa the Dukestar when he claimed we should all rally behind A/Y because "shanta salaad wuu tokathaa and he doesn't consume jaat" Hiraale and A/Y's Islamnimo and Somalinmo didn't stop them from calling in the Etho's(war naga so gaaraa ), why should Islamnimo and Somalinimo stop the Courts from conducting legitimate military operations ? C'moon, brah...Let's get real here. Like I said, This is war. Ambushes are a central componet of military strategy. Still don't understand why you object to it.

LOL@ They are resorting to ambushes now ? What were you expecting, akhi ? Adeer Hiraale made his bed, and now, guess what.......he's gotta sleep in it. Might not be as comfortable as his bed in K-Mayo, but it's still his. This is war. Assasination of high-profile figures and ambushes are just a small part of it. Besides, he's the Minister of Defence(War), fer cryin' outloud. Homeboy's gotta expect at least some action. Mase, y'all expect the Ethos to do all the messy parts..you know..the whole fightin' and dyin' thang. long overdue chuckle@"resorting to ambushes"

^ So is it this Friday(birito), or next Friday ?

^^ The title of the thread isn't complete. It should read: "Ethiopia laughs of IndaCade's threat..........making General Duke feel warm and fuzzy inside." Only Somali I know that's actively gloating the Etho presence in Somalia. Our very own Lord Haw-Haw. Yo, collaborating with the enemy during wartime is a hanging offense. So thank online anonymity, cuz if you voice half the ish you're saying here(Ethiopia is our friend/Not our enemy = 4 legs good/2 legs bad) in real life, you'll get the five-finger salute and then some. Walk up to any Somali cat and try to convince him that the Ethos are in Somalia to help us(LOL) and see the response. Allah yahdeek.

^ Let me speculate wildly. You're related to the SSDF, no ? Akhi, if you ask any of these 'jabhads' the reason for their formation, they'll all feed you a yarn about freedom, justice, and democracy. Where in fact, they're all led by power-seeking tribal-centric individuals who have nothing to do with Islam or it's values. Nothing. How different is the SSDF from the USC and the SNM in bringing about untold misery and destruction, together with the Communist regime of Barre, on the Somali people ? Fact check: No difference. Our(the Somali ppl) golden age was the 50's and 60's. Ever since the the coup d'etat of Barre, we've been on a gradual downward slide til we hit rock bottom in '91, and started digging in.

question .. y 30min? 30 min * 48 volunteers = 1440 mins of du'a and prayer --> 1440 min/ 60 min = 24 hours = 1 full day of constant round the clock du'a and prayer for our brethern back home or so I think. Khayr, I like the Khatam-ul-Qur'an idea.... 2 juz'a per nomad ? Need 15.

I got my 30 minutes on lockdown. Check it out tho, The UN,AU,IGAD,USA, EU have nothing to do with our misery. Instead, lay the blame at the feet of it's rightful owners, the bastartos responsible for the destruction of the Somali state and 16 years of hell-on-earth, chief among them: Siad Barre, Aideed,(both way bakhtiyeen, al-hamdulilah), and A/Y, the last standing dheeg-cabo. These men, their associates, their counterparts and peers, and the cattle(tribesmen) that follow/ed them are the ones responsible for the sad plight of Somalia. They have effectively utilised the Somali Idol: Al-Qabil, to further their goals and boy have they succeded. Adolf Hitler's got nuthin on these guys.

Abdillahi Yusuf is opposed simply because he belongs to an unwanted clan, ugly but true Not really. He's opposed simply because, just like Aideed and Siad Barre, he's a f'ing power-hungry, murderous, amoral, traitorous(this is a unique quality to him ) SOB(figuratively speaking). And that's a understatement. On the other hand, I'd bet a million bucks why you support A/Y, and why HornAfrique supports Barre, and why our nomad-in-exile Jumatatu supports Aideed is because y'all are all related to them, clanwise. Intelligent, apparently educated men. But they can't shake the clan monkey of their backs.

Dead enders like those who killed them selves are coming attacking those who come to help us. This is not knew thing I expecting all dead peater to line up along Awey Abdikasim. Athiga duqa , try and edit your posts so that inaa la fahmi karo. What's a dead peater/ender ? The Security Council also approved of resolutions #1544, #4533, 1676 as well as resolution #toothless aging institution. Basically put: There will be no UN, IGAD, AU army entering Somalia. A/Y is all alone with the Etho's.

My enemy is not another Muslim or Somali,however a Somali becomes my enemy when he drags my real enemy to kill me,then he(my x-brother) is my enemy. Well said. Any entity that sides with the invading Ethos will be dealt with accordingly. Cade Muse wants to play ball with the Ethos while they march on Moga, Galkacyo, and Baidoa ? Dig yourself a grave right next to Adeer Abdullahi, Adeer Geedi, and Adeer Barre Hiraale. Just ask Sayyid-ka what he did to those Somalis who signed peace treaties with the colonial occupiers. You ain't seen nuttin yet, Etho appeaser.

^ Yo, Alien Member 8033... You need to understand one thing: The concept of Somali-Etho friendship is a non-starter untill you give Western Somalia it's independence. I know that ain't happenin, so we'll just have to take it back sometime this century once we got our domestic issues under control. And this time, it ain't gon be no Russo-Fidel-Angolan-Libi-Yemenoid forces saving your sorry butts. You know it. I know it. The Etho soldier has no desire for war or bloodshed. The most mild-mannered Somali is the complete opposite, ready to throw-down at a moment's notice. So, you see friend, it's inevitable(inshallah), we can start bein friends after you give back(or we take, your choice), what's rightfully ours.

^^ So, I'm assuming your argument is that Meles Zenawi is a friend of the Somali people ? Do elaborate, Ghengis..'cuz this is how I'm reading it. A) Temujin supports the TFG and Uncle Abdullahi B) Uncle Abdullahi commits the unthinkable and brings in the Ethos, effectively handing control of the TFG to Zenawi. Zenawi says jump, TFG asks how high. C) At this point, Temujin is undergoing a battle of conscience. In his heart of hearts, he knows the utter disgrace and cowardly lows that his beloved Uncle has stooped to by inviting Somalia's bitter enemy to save his non-existent mandate(goin' on 3 years and ZERO accomplishments, markaas isku sheeg dowlad). He knows full well that ancient unwritten Somali law: Unite in the face of foriegn agression or die a traitor's death. But alas, the pull of the Qabiil is too strong to overcome. Xaq, Justice, and the Somali way cannot overcome all those years of indoctrination: Q-A-B-I-L. So Temujin goes, "F*k it, F Justice, F Clan Courts , F Xaq, F Moga, F Sharia, F Wahhabi Terrorists. F'em all. At the end of the day, bury me a _________ (insert proper tribe's name) Bring in the Ethos and let's march on Moga." Help me out here, buddy...Show us you ain't another Dukestar.

Arrintani oo dhacday Gelinkii Dambe ee Shalay ayaa dadweynaha kudhaqan Magaalada Baydhabo waxa ay kusoo waramayaan in ay arkayeen Gawaari Ambulance ah oo gudaha Baydhabo soo galayay iyaga oo cararaya. Peep it here One thing I'd like to make clear: Side with the Ethos, and may you die with them. You , as a Muslim, as a Man, as a Somali, have the free will to walk away from this fight. It's no longer TFG vs Courts. The storyline has fundamentally changed to Etho interests vs the Somali cause. It's much much more bigger than tribal spoils or Adeer A/Y. Understand that the pre-Etho invasion mind-set is no longer valid. As ME , put it: It's either liberation or an occupation.

I give them a month of fighting before they start losing hope and blaming the Courts for bringing the Ethiopians into Somalia. The Ethos had no plans to let Somalia overcome these disastrous 16 years. Either let one of their lackeys rule it(A/Y). Or continue funding the warlords and Xaraan-eaters. Sorry to break it to you, but these Mujahideen(you can say it, won't hurt) had nothing to do with the Ethos invading.

^^ LOL...lol@gacmo baasto...Hmmmm..you nice with the hands LT. Xalane ? being a military man and all ? Not to toot my own horn, but I'm something of a Lagdin Legend Bacaadka iskeena

Fair enough, brother. But before we do that, why don't you come up with 3 positive accomplishments of the ICU and I'll find 3 mistakes. That way, we'll at least remain open-minded to alternative points of view. Only madmen and 5 year olds think in absolutes. Fair ?

^^ A few points to mull over on 1. This term Neo-Facist Islamist...Do you know what it means ? Or did you hear it on the media and thought it sounded cool to use on SOL ? 2. Atrocities happened everywhere on all sides. Shedding more blood will not close the wounds opened by this horrific civil war. Close to a million people died in the American Civil war. That was 150 years ago, and they got over it. So will we. Similiar horror stories during the apartheid years of South Africa(get this movie) . They got over it. So will we. There will be accountability. There will be a reconcilliation process, inshallah. 3. I know this is a tough one to swallow, but Tawba and forgivess is open to a killer/rapist/looter too. Refer to the Hadith Qudsi of the man who killed 99 souls. 4. I've been living abroad all my life and was a kid during the death years of the early 90's, so yeah, I might not know what I'm talking about..juss tryna inject a modicum of reason in your emotionally-charged post.

bossaso is looking great so if that becomes a big city like burco or mogadisho then the puntland tribe also have a big major city Respect, homey. Respect a man who wears his prejudices on his sleeves in full view of the world. Who doesn't dance and dive around his beliefs: His currency of understanding is the tribe. Where it goes, so does he. He doesn't have to mask his repugnant beliefs under the name of socialism(Siad Barre), reform(USC/SNM), or birthright(A/Y). This is a man you can do business with. You know where he stands. He knows where you stand. But, talo waxaa ka keenteen, people who shimmy and yank like a NFL running back. Devious political oppurtunists, the likes of Riyaale Kahin and Cade Muse. In a million years, these men would not have announced Sharia law. Enter the spectre of the ICU, and both turn to Islam faster than you can say 'horta ma tukutaa, macalinka, before you start applying Sharia law'. Enter the spectre of the ICU, and these gentleman are ready to break bread with the Devil and sleep with his wife in order to maintain their tribal fiefdoms and the status quo.
