^^ What the heck does the SSDF got to do with this issue? Somali news sites don't seize to amaze me.

^^ Well that maybe feasible, but quite unlikely that some satellite is roaming above Somalia solely looking for volcano activity. No one would invest such funds, to monitor natural phenomena in a country like ours.

^^^ This picture is rubbish. Just because no western vulcanologist has mustered the guts to go to Somalia to study volcano activity does not mean this news from Sool can't be true-- which, in my opinion, is what you are inferring at, nuune.

^^^ Mr Internet Warrior, keenii caradiisu qarax ku dhowdahay labadeena qof walba ayaa ujeedo saaxiib...LOL

^^ Nonsense. There is indeed trivial and their is nothing unfortunate about it. Puntland has got its own local issues to deal with, and we will ALWAYS have zero tolerance for anyone wanting to wage their so-called wars of independence on our soil. LOL..Its funny how the anarchist and deviant supporters of SOL want to act all concerned about a few criminals from kilil 5, when they support groups that constantly kill and maim dozens of innocents on a weekly basis in the south.

^^ Jafe, anigu meesha aad ka gubanaysid waan garranayaa. Laakin si kasto aad isku xanaajisid, anigu runta weligay kaama deenayo. Inta aad nooshahay aduunyadaan, ogow inuusan qabiil xornimo keeneyn!

Saaxiibyaal, this aforementioned tripe is way more than plain old mirqaan. This guy has been brainwashed. I know no one wants to believe he's being brainwashed. But if you listen to Xaaji here, who has internalized such extreme delusions about la-la land, I fail to see how that could be viewed as anything but submitting yourself for brainwashing. Xaaji: Allahaa ha ku caafiyo walaale...

^^^ OO hada bootadii ma waxaad u badashay, "exchange of views and principles". Blah, blah, blah. More cantrabaqash from you as usual. If you're serious about making threats over the internet, why do you then feel the need for deflection? You just went off on a rant that seems irrational and unrelated to the topic here. Your hypocrisy in this whole matter has got nothing to do with my maturity.

Originally posted by Jafe101: In the past we tried but it was fruitless attempt, Ethiopia will never agree to autonmous and independent Oga'denia, losing Oga'denia means the end of their dying Tigre empire. The barrel of the gun is the only solution to this ongoing conflict. After the fall of the Dergi regime (the Communist military junta that came to power following ousting of Haile Selassie), the members of the Og'aden National Liberation Front (ONLF) formerly clandestine and their supporters became public holders. The brave ONLF participated a political process and won the election in 1995 more than 85% of the casted votes in the Oga'den Somali region. At the end of the transitional period, the political organizations, the elected members of Parliament, the elders and the people started expressing their views regarding their future status. Their views and demands were not consistent with that held by the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) led regime of Addis Ababa. Then, ONLF prepared to defend its people, it choose the liberation struggle rather than accept their lot as second class citizens, a people who only exist as part of the Tigre empire. Never will will it be negotiated right for self determination and independence, history teaches us that freedom is only achieved with the gun not politically. Therefore, you either help or come against us to free that land from the Tigre minority regime. Otherwise, you can keep on calling me names one time and selling my kinsmen to the enemies other times but you cannot dictate me to say which side of the road I shall take. ^^^ Hmmm....unsubstantiated opinion. Looks like propaganda to me. Who exactly were these "brave ONLF" and who "won more than 85% of votes" ? O clan members? Because you said so? Yes, I think it is safe to say that the ONLF riffraff are only representative of a small segment of the occupied peoples of Western Somalia. Of that there is no doubt. Yet you make it look like they are representative of the whole of the occupied SOMALI region. Your attempts at propaganda, i.e; "Ethiopia will never agree to autonomous and independent Oga'denia" seems to me quite hypocritical, when we all know that your clan is but a third of the population in the occupied Somali region. Sorry. We see right through you saaxiib. We're much smarter than you would like to believe. And we are none of those things you accuse us of. We simply don't believe in such a thing as "Oga'denia". We disagree with the real objectives of the ONLF(single clan hegemony) and what their true policy goals are and we will not support them. I suspect if anyone is helping the "tigrey empire" it would be you and the divisive organization you support and this simple fact you must acknowledge. Denial is futile, amigo...

^^^ Jafe, walaale, waxaa lagu maahmaahaa... "islaan fadhida lagdin la fududaa". Its posts like yours that suggest to me that ALL ONLF sympathizers are full of bluff and bravado and should be thrown unceremoniously on the grand table of inaction and ridicule, for all to spit on, not just a select few strutting about the internet of all places-- with great show and braggadocio-- such as yourself. Once, just ONCE, I'd like to see you guys walk the walk. After all, as we all know-- talk is cheap!

^^^ "The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband's bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform('Our flags and our songs of freedom' ), that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool." A&T, meeshaan madax adeyg looma baahna: Only a united front of Somalis can oppose the Xabasha occupation. And until such unity materializes; we will only observe, where the institutionalized disunity, propagated by the desert riffraff organization --you hold near and dear-- takes your lot...

^^^ I disagree with you. I don't care if the Ethiopians are direct descendants of the Prophet and ALL devout Muslims. All Somali lands must be liberated from ALL foreigners, Muslim or not.

The ONLF must be destroyed: The ONLF is an organization created and funded by Addis Ababa to help sow discord and confusion in the occupied Somali communities of Western Somalia. The ONLF is a Xabashi proxy, and anyone who truly cares for the struggles of the occupied peoples of our Somali region must see to it that it is destroyed. War is deceptive. And therefore we need an effective new strategy that will overcome the set backs of the Amxara occupation and it's foot soldiers, the ONLF. I believe guerrilla warfare is not always good. And retreating is not always weak. In fact, in these moments of danger or trouble in kilil 5, refusing to fight the xabasha armies is the best strategy in my view. By disengaging from the enemy, we will loose nothing that is valuable in the long run. And in fact, we will gain time to turn inward, to rethink our plan of action and strategy. Time will become our ally. By doing nothing outwardly aggressive to the Amxara, will gain the inner strengths to re-organize our liberation forces and economic resources which will translate into tremendous success later when it is time to act. Saaxiibyaal, when you fight someone more powerful than you are. You loose more than your possessions and position. You loose your ability to think straight. We must keep ourselves focused. We must not become infected with the emotions and the violence of the aggressor. It is better to live today to fight tomorrow and use the time we buy through disengagement, to turn inward. Let the enemy enjoy his short lived gains, and we will recover and turn the tables when the time comes and our strength is unstoppable. Disengagement must not be an end in itself-- it must be temporal. At some point, we have to turn around and fight. Disengagement should only be used to refocus our objectives and goals in kilil 5. This strategy I advocate is nothing new. The Chinese have used it for thousands of years. They call it Wu wei. And it is because of this strategy that they thrive today, even though their country has endured endless periods of foreign occupation throughout their 5000 yr old civilization. Wu wei, is the idea of action through inaction; Of controlling a situation by not trying to control it. Of ruling by abdicating rule; It involves the belief that by reacting and fighting against circumstances-- by constantly struggling in life-- you actually set yourself back, creating more turbulence in your path and difficulties for yourself. Sometimes it is best to lie low, to do nothing and let the difficult winter pass. In such moments you can collect yourself and strengthen your identity. War is deceptive. War requires a good strategy. Charging madly like a mad Rhino is often not wise. You may think that you're strong and you are making advances against an enemy. But time will show, you are marching into great danger and your objectives are doomed to suffer great setbacks.

I bet you think you are being really witty and original with this torrent of vituperation! But NOT! Heard that before, A&T? And what should we send you and your ilk for your non-stop nagging these last two days ? How about anything you can use to stuff it!

^^ LOL ...ma dhaantaad ku kor ciyaari doontaan? Saaxiib, bootada raqiiska ah meesha kalatag! Hadaad naf iyo tabar heysid dhulkaaga ayaad amxaarada ka xoreynsan-lahaydee...

Cannibalism, eating human flesh, is also called anthropophagy. LOL..I thought of the aforementioned trivia when I first saw this thread's title...

^^ Well, in this instance, your 'impressions' are inspired and motivated by spurious ONLF propaganda that you've so ghoulishly contrived, and is therefore, not appreciated one bit. But on the other hand, I guess it is understandable that you place all your hopes on cheap propaganda-- even though your predicament deserves, no-- DEMANDS unwavering resolve on the part of you and your co-hearts, Mr A&T.

^^ I guess the objective is to cause drivers to make EYE CONTACT with pedestrians/kids, which happens to be a very important aspect of defensive driving, which helps reduce accidents...

^^ They got the Hummus part wrong. I guess they fell for the spurious stereotype which wrongly claims that all Muslims are Arabs.

^^^ Hey brainic...this is the POLITICS FORUM, your liddle tirade belongs in the Poetry section of the site.

*YAWN*

To All: The legacy of Somaalinimo is the primary excuse used by the ONLF propaganda machine to attempt to rewrite our history to make average Somalis think they are helping the realization of greater Somalia by helping these non-starters from the ONLF desert. The ONLF do not care about Somalia nor do they care for Greater Somalia. The ONLF is a Xabasha organization created by Addis Ababa to sow discord amongst Somalis. The ONLF is a dummy guerrilla movement which promotes disunity and violence that has destroyed the genuine hopes and aspirations of the peoples of the O desert. Therefore, I am not buying their elaborate cries whenever they are repatriated to their homeland whence they came. And if you can't stand me for that, then so be it. To Luuq Ganaane: An ill-educated populace is easily misled and controlled.

Originally posted by Cowke: The onlf people are being persecuted in ethiopia That's just silly thinking. The ONLF needs to start pacifying their lands, instead of pretending to be refugees in Somalia. They must learn to co-exist with their fellow countrymen in Ethiopia.

^^ Stay on topic or stfu. Hate it or love it, the ONLF are Ethiopians. Can't deal with the truth?

I concur. Selling stinky Xabasha slaves back to their Xabasha masters in Addis isn't a bad proposition whatsoever. It is too bad that some Puntlanders rarely take on the ONLF riffraff on moral grounds based on perceived familial relations to our ancestors because the ONLF's familial closeness to us is as weak as their economic foundations and benefit to Puntland. These people are not even Somali and do not be fooled by their use of our language!
