I understand ... it isn't politically expedient to be outraged on behalf of a rapist eh. Believe me, these peacenik qowleysato will find a way to turn this into a anti-Shabaab talking point straight outa the Rush Limbaugh playbook. This unintentional hilarity is what happens when people are intellectually bankrupt, drifting aimlessly with nothing to anchor them, begging for support from the same entities that have been conspiring against the Somali people over the past 50 years. But yaa uu sheegu munaafiqeenta, even with the magical powers of Is-Qancis, Al-Shabaab can't be wished away.

^^ Deal. End of 2009, we'll make our first evaluation.

^^ They will be occupying the Presidential Palace in Hargeysa, inshallahu tacalaa, within 8-10 years.(My timeline has variables and parameters all factored in. Unlike the cantarbaqash of SOL, I think and analyse before I type or speak.)

Adeer; history is written by and large in "blood" Agreed. And you, Dear Mr. Oodweyne, and the orphans of the English crown shall have their fill of it. Through the very generous disbursement of Iron and Blood, the rebellious provinces of the North will be tamed. Forget not, good sir, what happened to the Confederacy after they got it in their head that they could 'withdraw' from the Great American Union. Forget not, good sir, Sherman's march to the sea. Forget not, good sir, the wake of devastation and destruction wreaked on the rebellious South. Forget not, good sir, the wrath of Lincoln, Sherman, and Grant. And if you deign to forget, then the days ahead will provide a rude awakening to the painful lessons of history. As Pride goeth before the fall, clannist hubris is the forerunner to complete and utter destruction. Ask Horn/Gabbal where Adeer Hiiraale is today. Ask Twisted Logic/RR where Adeer M. Dheere(granted asylum in Switzerland) is today. Ask Juje where Adeer Muse Suudi(resettled in Dadaab refugee camp along with 15 TFG MPs) is today. Ask Duke where Adeer Yey is today. And ask yourself, friend, where will Riyaale, Silanyo, and Hyena, be in 5 years time ? I promise you, good sir, before the second decade of the new millienium is over, you will find yourself in Ethiopia, again, begging for Ethiopian help, again as is the cowardly wont of the lowbred lowborn maggotry you call Ciidaan-ka Qaran ee Marqaan-land( ). You will be back occupying the lobbies of hotels in Addis Abba, again, waiting for a chance to meet His Excellency Meles Zenawi and plead your case before him, again. As for the "medievalist clique", they will, God Willing, be the Masters and Commanders of the Horn of Africa. Loved by Somalis and the friends of Somalis, feared by enemies, respected by all. The runaway success of the Kismaayo Model will be duplicated throughout Somalia. So my advice to you, good sir, is this: Get on your knees. Now, before it becomes too late. Get on your knees, good sir, and beg for mercy, while there is still a chance for mercy to be granted. For when the sword of justice doth fall upon the wicked, it falls very heavily indeed: Najibullah was captured by the Taliban and spent the rest of his days in virtual detention, and remained there until he was tortured, castrated, then killed in September 1996 by the Taliban who captured Kabul. Let this not be your fate, good sir. Get on your knees. Now.

^^ What part of "I will make sure they remain isolated" do you not understand ? Congressmen are very cautious people and are not prone to 180 degree flips because some skinny African offered to buy them lunch. Every statement they make is examined and re-examined before it is released to the public. Why ? A lil somethin called reelection. So you can best believe that Somaliland has gained one more enemy in America, a very powerful Congressman, and all the contacts and influence he has amassed over the course of 22 years in national politics. Waa isku xaartay, abti. Hell hath no fury like a Politican snubbed. But no worries. Very soon, Shaykh Godane and Shaykh Zeylaci will be back to liberate you from the humiliation of begging for 'ictiraaf' and the constant weji-fiiqid of rejection. I expect you to be among the cheering masses that line the streets of Hargeisa as they welcome the victorious Mujahideen.

^^ Money and his "Somali-Americans" are honorary Ethiopians. They will cheer on any Ethiopian invasion. Xiin, since you live in Minneapolis, don't forget to attend the D.h.a.b.h.o.d.h.i.l. i.f gathering. It would not be complete without you and Jimcaale, and the rest of the Gaalo-raac in MPLS.

Death and destruction to the enemies of the Somali people. If you don't fit that category, you got nothin to worry about. But if you are a: -Gaalo-raac -Xabashi-lover -Munaafiq -Traitor -Drug-smuggler -Informant -Clan zealot -Pirate -Secessionist -TFG MP -Sharif Cabinet Minister -Clan militia fighter -Road bandit then be afraid, be very afraid, pretty lady. As my manz Rudy G said: Al-Shabaab is giving Somalia a very thorough and long-awaited house-cleaning. Qashin'ka, Qurun'ka, iyo Najaasadah oo idil waala tirtiraa. Sidaa oo la soco.

^^ Well-said(with slight reservations), me. A comprehensive, big-picture post that silences the qaylo-dhaan and baroor-dhiiq of our defeated fifth columnists. Let every Gaalo-raac, be they Sharif-ite qashin, Yusuf-ite scum or Scholars-4-Dollars read this quote: 1. You fled , while they stayed . 2. You wavered , while they fought and keep fighting the enemies of our nation. 3. You supported clans over justice, while they protected the weakest in our society And they have the nerve to wave self-righteous fingers at their masters and superiors. Caku iyo Munaafiq jaahil'nimo ku raagay! Waryaa, war waxu waa xoolo ileen.

^^ I'm flattered by the gabay, abti, but you are needed here and here. Kistoo xaninyo iska raad-raadi and answer the charges of gross hypocrisy levelled at you. For the record, when you say: Faarax, stay the course it is You're embracing Scenario #1 which I translated as: Let us send a frantic SOS call to Adeer Zenawi, Adeer Kipaki, and Adeer Museveni so that they can send their troops to crush the Sons of Somalia that I once supported but not longer do because I'm a spineless hypocrite that flip-flops faster than, um, flip-flops. Antarnashanal Kaaamooonity, balees send halab. Send yoor AC-130s. Send Israeli air support. We don't care how many civilians you kill. Turn Mogadisho into a inferno that would make Gaza look like Manhattan by comparison. Kill who you want, when you want, how you want. Even in Mosques. No biggie. Just rid us of these fire-breathing Al-Shabaab Let it be noted, so that you don't undergo another extreme makeover and proclaim yourself a born-again wadaad in 2010 and start quoting macaalim fil tareeq again.

^^ Mercenaries = Uganda, Burundi, Walad Abdalla, Ethiopian military advisors in Bosaaso, Ethiopian 'embassy' in Hargeisa. I could quote more, but I think you get the idea.

^ I get it now. So you were posing the two scenarios, but didn't neccesarily endorse either. Apologies for my harsh words, it was under the assumption that you supported scenario #1(which almost all peaceniks here do), will edit my post. My stance is: Mercenaries leave my country --> Resistance subdues, dismantles, and disbands the remaining vassal entities and groups ---> Somalis, sit together and start a genuine reconcillation project under the banner of Shareeca. The #1 barrier standing in the way of Somali unity and wada-jir is foriegn hegemony. In order for Somalia to take it's rightful place among the nation's of the world, it is imperative that this entrenched obstacle(foriegn hegemony) be removed. The only way to remove it is by exterminating the groups and entities that are being used by Ethiopia and the West.

^^ For the sake of clarity, which scenario do you support ? I wrote my post under the assumption that you support the first scenario. If you support scenario #1, then I stand by my post. But if you support scenario #2, then waa kuu gafay, I apologise, and will edit my post.

Overall peacenik theme in this thread: Let us send a frantic SOS call to Adeer Zenawi , Adeer Kipaki, and Adeer Museveni so that they can send their troops to crush the Sons of Somalia that I once supported but not longer do because I'm a spineless hypocrite that flip-flops faster than, um, flip-flops. Antarnashanal Kaaamooonity, balees send halab. Send yoor AC-130s. Send Israeli air support. We don't care how many civilians you kill. Turn Mogadisho into a inferno that would make Gaza look like Manhattan by comparison. Kill who you want, when you want, how you want. Even in Mosques. No biggie. Just rid us of these fire-breathing Al-Shabaab. In the spirit of wa thakir fa'inal thikraa tanfacul mu'mineen, I refer the readers to this thread. : The Is-Qancis Brigade inhabit a world, a fairytale world, where reality is shaped to fit their fantastical whims. "The Saudis will save us ! The UN will save us ! Peace ! Stability ! Reconciliation ! Elections will be held ! Dhabo******s are somalis too ! They have rights ! They are our people ! We must forgive them and allow them to rule ! We have to be inclusive ! Ethiopia is not to blame ! Somalis are to blame ! Ethiopia will leave and be a nice good neighbor ! The wadaads must be reined in !" Almost exactly one year to the date, the peaceniks still inhabit a world of delusional fantasy where foreign knights in shining tanks will come to their rescue(just as they 'rescued' Cabdullahi Amxaar). The dying peacenik breed welcomes any force( preferably that of Ethiopia since they have the most experience in killing Somalis), that will help Sharif Ahmed and his band of clannists and war criminals to continue to cling to the illusion of power. Such is the mentality of those the Arabs would call: Xuthaalah. Such is the thinking of defeated men who had their backs broken and their manhood robbed, who have accepted to live life on their knees as slaves. Slaves to the highest bidder. You want my sea? Take it. You want a part of my country ? It's yours, no questions asked. You want me to capture/kill wadaads ? Done and Done. Do with me as you wish, just don't forget to pay me after you're done with me. Pay me in millions of dollars in Swiss bank accounts(Ali Gheedi, Ali Galaydh). Pay me by calling me President(Yey, Shariif). Pay me by recognizing me even though I am a fraudulent entity run by the elite that feeds on crowd hysteria, colonial legacy, and Holocaust references(NEVER AGAIN....will we elect the Chief of Siad Barre's Secret Police as our President. Oops.) (SL). No matter. Let the dogs bark. Let the donkeys bray. Let the xuthaalah set records in stooping to the depths of treasonous infamy; they are only treading in the footsteps of a well-worn path: The path of Gun'nimo, of Gaalo-raac'nimo, of Munaafiq'nimo. As for the Resistance that forced Ethiopia to withdraw after making it hemorrhage thousands of dead soldiers and millions of dollars, they have made it crystal-clear, to whomever it may concern, that their mission is to liberate every last square inch of Somalia from the hegemony of Ethiopia and it's dhaboqhoodis. And that, yaa jamacaah, is a non-negotiable mission. As this map attests to, they have been making good on that promise. : Whereas my opponents live in the world of incompetence and stifled ambitions, as they spit and sputter in frustration and confusion, as they pray and beg for the Ethiopians to come back for a second round of genocide in the name of 'dawladnimo' and 'peacekeeping', the Somali people are celebrating the consolidation of power in the hands of the Mujaahideen and the triumphant dawn of the Islamic State of Somalia.

Waraa Meeji, Madaaficda intaa kugu soo jeedinin at point-blank range, meeshaan isaga carar Nothing personal, it's very important to hold people accountable for their positions, past or present. Goodir sounds a heckuva lot like Jimcaale/Ducaqabe. I'm inquiring. That's all.

^^ Let him answer. Runta malaga xishoodo.

^^ Are you the nomad Jimcaale/Ducaqabe of "Ethiopia is our better choice" fame ? Your writing style is almost identical to his.

^^ . Waryaa, waa ii dishay. But lemme tell you like this: Even a zoo lion, enfeebled by captivity and overtaken by sloth, can regain his God-given majesty(Ahlul Karam wal Majd) by casting off the shackles that bind him and by returning to the savannahs of Africa, where he is the King of the Jungle.

^^ You have spoken with kalimatul Xaq, Shaykhuna. May Allah reward you for your uncompromising stand, speaking the Xaq, in an age where hypocrisy, weakness, and defeatism are rampant. To all the Munaafiqs that infest this site: Brother, If Somalia was a woman, she is being raped right in front of our eyes, By Ethiopian, Ugandan, and Ethiopian Soldiers, while the Criminal Warlords are pinning the screaming woman on the ground, so that soldiers take turns, which infuruiates her brothers who are trying to free the woman and you are suggesting to her brothers trying to free her from the rapist to be reasonable and not to make trouble to endanger the woman's life? It would behoove you to read and re-read that quote.

^ My country is being devastated by the Unholy Alliance of Kufaar and Munaafiqeen. Umada Soomaaliyeed are being slaughtered by the thousands in the name of international peacekeeping. My Culumaa(Scholars) are being plucked from the streets of Hargeisa and Bosaaso and sent to Ethiopian torture chambers. And you expect me to be accept all that with the resignation and calmness of a well-fed sheep ? Sorry, bro. Some of us were not made to be sheep. Some of us were born Lions. And Lions do not know how to speak softly. They only know how to roar.

^^ Dude, I can't help it. I've been branded a Propagandist, remember ?

Just another blast from a Gaalo-raac, Gaalo-Loving, hypocritical past. Xiin in all his fervour calling for the invasion and occupation of Somalia by Ugandan and Sudaneese troops wayyyy back in 2005. Why ? In order to win back Xamar for the "old man" . Lol, you can't make this shit up, yo. Contain the conflict in the south. How? Move the government some where in the south (Baydhabo or Jowhar). Then what? Call in foreign troops (sacrificial lambs for the cause you deemed it lost); secure the endorsement* of the neighboring countries** and dry up the logistical support of Xamar warlords; extend government authority to the north of the city (Xamar that is), as it is teaming with supporters of the Prime Minster (Geedi) and therefore address the concerns of those who insist this government be in it. As for the actual fighting (if it comes to that), let the Sudanese and Ugandans do it (saaxiib reer magaal ma diriro ee waa loo dagaalamaa). what about pseudo sheikhs and holy-worrier-want-to -bes , let Xiinfaniin show the holes of their argument and make them shiver in the nakedness (can't fight for whats not yours) * yacni patronage ** yacni Ethiopia and Kenya Once a d.h.a.b.h.o.d.h.i.l. i.f, always a d.h.a.b.o.d.h.i.l.if . In 2005 he was calling for Ugandan and Sudaneese troops to come and occupy Somalia(his intentions(sidaan baa ka waday)are none of our business, all that matters, and what you will be judged on is what you have said and done); In 2009 he is calling for Ethiopian, Kenyan, and Israeli troops to come and occupy Somalia. In between he had a brief infatuation with Islamism, but as ciyaal-ka xaafada say, way ku soconwaysay( ). Al-Shabaab's uncompromising ways and resolute brand of national leadership didn't work for a snake-oil merchant schooled in the art of hypocrisy and butt-kissing of the West. So today, he calls for Ethiopian troops to save the najaasah hide of his Hypocrite-in-Chief, Shareef Al-Khabeeth. In the diseased minds of our resident peaceniks, everything is for $ale: Deen, Dal, Dad, Dhaqan. As long as it can lead to material benefit(money, sex, power). Xiin-ow, ku cibra qaado Mr. Mudane Laqanyo oo sidoo "power" iyo "jago" ka dhaba cararaayay oo qurun'ka Amxaar dhabatha oo dhaqaayay, baqti'geesa banaanka la soo waray sida hilib cayriin camal.(I hear your Ethiopians like to eat raw meat) Factabiroo yaa ulul absaar.

Lol@Malika. Good to have you getting closer to our side, the side of the Xaq, the side of Gobonimo, the side of Victory inshallah. Did you know, yaa Malika, that some of the bravest thoroughbreds ever to fight in Somalia are our Swahili-speaking brothers from all over East Africa ? Do you know how many of them willingly gave their sweat, their blood, their limbs, and their lives so that you and I could walk this Earth as free men and women ? Now what would you do to a lowborn, lowbred coward who calls that Swahili Mujaahid, a foreigner or 'Shisheeye', as Shareef Al-Khaa'in Al-Khabeeth did ? The only Shisheeye in Somalia is Gaaalada cad iyo Gaalada madow, iyo kuwa kabaha ka daba qaado. And every single last one of them will have one of two choices: a) the fate of Yey/Gheedi b) the fate of Xaashi/Laqanyo. Wallahi, sister, the Xaq is clear in Somalia, the course of action that needs to be taken is evident to all those who exercise their God-given Caqli. Wa laakinal Munaafiqeena laa yaclamoon.

MMA, Saaxib, don't worry about me. Worry about the Nairobi Chronicle editorial, written by a Keenyaati Krishtaan. I will quote again the salient points that you have dodged: From the 2006 experience, it is obvious that only an Islamic leadership will have the capacity to rescue Somalia from anarchy With fighting raging in Somalia, pirates running amok in the Indian Ocean and the internationally recognized government about to fall, it would appear that the Al Shabaab Islamic movement will soon be having the last laugh And finally: By any interpretation, it appears that an Islamic Republic of Somalia is going to become a reality This Kenyan writer has reached the logical conclusion, using the tools of cold reasoning and reality-based analysis that it is, in his own words, inevitable that the Sons of Somalia will not only conquer every last square inch of Somali soil, but that their reign will be one of peace and prosperity, based on tangible verifiable precedent, both current and prior. (Ok, I may be overstating his conclusion, but I'm just fleshing it out, don't nitpick, bottom line of the article = Shabaab and Somalia win decisively; TFG and it's foriegn sponsors are defeated, their grand plans for hegemony in shatters) If only my opponents on SOL showed a fraction of that objectivity, this forum's quality would skyrocket. But no, the audience has to wade through pathetic one-liners, breathless sensational rhetoric(OMG, OMG, OMG REER QURAC DECLARES 100 YEAR WAR ON THE SATANIC DEVILS OF AL-SHABAAB), and pig-headed indho-adayg oo meel ay oo socoto la garan'karin.(The TFG controls 14 of 16 districts in Xamar........war been intaas la eg, maxaa kugu kalifay ?) Stop waffling, saaxib. If you don't want to respond to me, respond to the article I generously quoted and bolded.

Maamulid is not karbaashing people into submission day in and out, and ruling in fear in perpetual ways with its kalitalisnimo. It is a dangerous path. Fear iyo waxaas Soomaali uma baahna. All that waaba haddee dalka la wareegaan, which is nearly impossible; waa haddee hadana wax maamulaan wanaag keenaan, which is totally unlikely. Then caalamka uma maleynaayi inay fiirsan doonaan.

Desperation + helplessly watching the crumbling of the TFG + entrenched animosity towards anything remotely Islamic + Newly-ilbax Flight 13 syndrome(hilarious parody, perfectly captures the defeatist mindset of the average peacenik on these forums) + Shameless hypocrisy(Ethiopia, yesterday an occupier, today a beloved ally) = the post above. Here is an editorial in the Nairobi Chronicle that seems to be tailor-made for Mr. Moderator MMA and the rest of the honourary Amxaaro we have in our midst. Aqris wacan, abtiyaal(How do you say Aqris wacan in Af-Tigray ?) Take it away, Nairobi Chronicle : With fighting raging in Somalia, pirates running amok in the Indian Ocean and the internationally recognized government about to fall, it would appear that the Al Shabaab Islamic movement will soon be having the last laugh Are you reading that, Mr. Moderator ? Don't worry, it gets better: Though Kenya is a key backer of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, there is nothing that can be done to save his position . Al-Shabaab is growing from strength to strength capturing territory and key towns in central and southern Somalia. Recently, the Islamic youth group gained significant potency when it joined forces with fighters from the Hizbul al-Islam party. Meanwhile, Somali government soldiers are reportedly suffering from poor morale in the face of inevitable defeat What can Kenya do to stop Al-Shabaab from taking over power in Somalia and declaring the Islamic Republic of Somalia? Wait for it......... Wait for it......... Drum roll, please: The answer is: NOTHING Lily faints, MMA spills his breakfast all over the computer yelling: "Hooba naar galaasa, bartaa ay la aragnee, tiimbooy!!", LazyGirl decides to hunt for a Ethiopian husband(muslim, of course) and opens an account here, sources affirm that Abu Mansoor broke her heart, markaas waxay ku saniftay wax walbo oo Soomali-related. Editorial continues: Kenya lacks the military capability to engage Al-Shabaab in a long-drawn engagement inside Somalia. Stronger armies including the United States and Ethiopia have not succeeded . Kenya, with 20,000 troops led by a wobbly coalition government, cannot stomach an engagement that could last years By any interpretation, it appears that an Islamic Republic of Somalia is going to become a reality. The tendency for Somali’s neighbours to sponsor so-called secular movements is the reason why chaos reigns in Somalia. Focus on that last sentence. It is the height of irony that a Kenyan writer would accurately describe the main cause of anarchy and chaos in Somalia(foreign intervention), while the defeated peaceniks and dhaboqhoodis are calling for a full-scale invasion of Somalia by UN mercenaries. But as I have noted before, Irony is wasted on the confused and the ignorant. From the 2006 experience, it is obvious that only an Islamic leadership will have the capacity to rescue Somalia from anarchy . The world should engage with them in a dialog that will result in an Islamic Somalia at peace with its neighbours Otherwise ? Otherwise, it is futile to continue sponsoring warlords in fighting a losing battle with Islamic militants who are getting bolder by the day. Mr. Moderator(and the rest of the honorary Amxaaro on this forum): Umada Soomaliyeed way tashatay. Go'aan waxaay ku gaartay inay aayaheeda iyo hogaan'keeda oo dhiibato Dhalinyarta soo Halgamay oo Dal'ka xoreeyay, oo Deenta Ebbe ku soo celiyay sharaf'ta iyo cizzi'ga ay mudnayd , oo Shacab'ka ka dhul qaaday dhil, dhac, iyo kufsi, iyo weliba dulmi qaawaan oo masaakiinta la xoog sheeganaayo. For those of you who are growing bitter(Lily, LG, MMA) in the Diaspora as you watch Xarakatul Shabaab Al-Muhajideen destroy Isbahaysiga Munaafiqeenta iyo Mooryyaaan'ta, hal mid ogaada: Somalia doesn't need you. Somalia doesn't want you. Somalia has rejected you. I know it hurts. I know it's painful. To be part of something that is wretched and rotten. Something that is baqti'fying in plain sight. Something that is dying. But this is the reality you are living as we reach the midpoint of 2009. Before the year is out, inshallah, Shariif Al-Khabeeth and the TFG Al-Malcoonah will be dismantled, disbanded, sent fleeing to the same place Cumar Xaashi just came from days ago before he got smoked: Addis Abba. Umada Soomaliyeed will then start a genuine reconciliation project under Islamist oversight that will unify the country; a blessed project that had already started in the summer of 2006 and achieved in 6 months what the entire world failed to do in 16 years and hundreds of millions of dollars(that now sit in the bank accounts of 'wadani heroes' like Ali Galaydh and Abdiqasin Salad.)

Beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing it. A picture of honour, of courage, of thoroughbred'ness: Ahlul Karam wal Majd.
