Long live the British Queen. Islaanta boqorada ha noolato.

Didnt know Somaliland had a militia in Haylaan. Or do you mean the visiting delegation of Ministers and NGO's that was attacked in Dhahar back in 2007?

Suicide bomber attacks Somali hotel, killing 32 By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN and MALKHADIR M. MUHUMED (AP) – 11 minutes ago MOGADISHU, Somalia — A suicide bomber and gunmen wearing military uniforms attacked a hotel near Somalia's presidential palace Monday, sparking a one-hour gun battle with security forces. At least 32 people were killed, including six Somali parliamentarians. Witnesses described a horrific scene of dead bodies throughout the Muna Hotel and guests scrambling to safety by escaping out of windows. The multi-pronged assault came less than 24 hours after the country's most dangerous militant group — al-Shabab, a group allied with al-Qaida — threatened a "massive" war against what it labeled as invaders, a reference to the 6,000 African Union troops in Mogadishu. The attack on the Muna Hotel raised the two-day toll to at least 70 people, a high number even by Mogadishu's violent standards. Fighting that rocked Mogadishu on Monday killed 40 people, health officials said. Somalia's deputy prime minister told The Associated Press that 19 civilians, six members of parliament, five security forces and two hotel workers were killed in the attack — a total of 32. Two attackers also were killed, said Abdirahman Haji Aden Ibi, the deputy prime minister. A government statement said 31 people were killed. An 11-year-old shoe shine boy and a woman selling tea in front of the hotel were among the dead, African Union spokesman Maj. Barigye Bahoku said. "They have no motive other than to terrorize the Somali people. This is a deplorable act in this holy month of Ramadan. It shows their brutality and lack of respect for humanity," said Abdirahman Omar Osman, Somalia's information minister. A survivor described a frenzied, one-hour battle inside the four-floor, $10-a-night hotel. Saynab Qayad, a member of parliament staying at the hotel, said she was jolted awake by the popping sound of bullets. Three members of parliament staying on the fourth floor had drawn their guns while other guests scrambled to safety by escaping out the windows, she said. "Smoke filled my room after bullets smashed my window. I hid myself in a corner of the room. Then a guest next door came to my door, screaming 'Come out! Come out!' And when I came out bullets continued to fly around. "I went back to my room and locked my door. Shortly afterward, the hotel staff asked me to come down and put me in a room at the second floor with four other survivors," she said. "The body of a member of parliament was lying at that small room's door." Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, a spokesman for the al-Shabab militia, said that members of the group's "special forces" had carried out the attack against those "aiding the infidels." While Mogadishu has a small, government-controlled zone near the seaside airport, al-Shabab operatives frequently infiltrate the area, and the attack is only the latest proof that al-Shabab has molded itself into a full-fledged insurgent force capable of daring, complex assaults. In a similar attack in December, a suicide bomber detonated himself at a university graduation ceremony near Tuesday's hotel attack, killing 24 people, including three government ministers, medical students and doctors. In its first international attack, al-Shabab last month claimed responsibility for twin bombings in Uganda's capital during the World Cup final, explosions that killed 76 people who had gathered to watch the televised match. Al-Shabab said the attack was in retaliation for Uganda's role in the African Union force in Mogadishu. Militant veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are believed to be helping train members of al-Shabab, which has pledged allegiance to al-Qaida. Somalia has not had an effective government for 19 years. Islamic insurgents led by al-Shabab have been trying to topple the government from Mogadishu since January 2007. The AU force has ensured the government stays because the force's mandate is to protect key government officials and installations such as the air and sea port in Mogadishu.

Respect of someone's privacy is universal. You shouldnt tape video's of people in secret and then disgrace them in public western media. That is just wrong.

Why must all females be judged on looks first as if what they bring to the table is not enough? Akhas! The sexism. This lady is on point on both issues. Welfare fraud needs to stop and FGM needs to be eradicated. The welfare made Somali men lazy Diane skincream made Somali ladies light skinned, burns their skins, is unhealthy and creates rashes. But I dont go record pictures and videos of somali's in secret and show it to the western media.

Sirdoonka SL Oo Fashiliyey Hawlgalo Argagixiso Ah Oo Lala Maaganaa Magaalooyin Ku Yaala Yurub Written by Haauft Aug 23, 2010 at 05:54 AM Sirdoonka Somaliland Oo Fashiliyey Hawlgalo Argagixiso Ah Oo Lala Maaganaa Magaalooyin Ku Yaala Yurub Oo Ay London Ku Jirto Hargeysa,(Qaran News) - Sirdoonka Somaliland ayaa muddo dhawr bilood hadda laga joogo fashiliyey hawlgalo ay Argagixisadu damacsanaayeen inay ka fuliyaan magaalooyin ku yaala Yurubta galbeed oo ay London ka mid tahay. Sida ay ilo xogogaal ahi Haatuf u sheegeen qorshahani waxa uu kala daatay kadib markii ay sirdoonka Somaliland ka war heleen dabadeedna xogtii ay ka hayeen u gudbiyeen hay'adaha Amaanka ee dalalka Reer Galbeedka ee ay wada shaqayntu ka dhaxaysay. Siday ilahaasi sheegeen waxa qorshaynta hawlahan iska kaashanayey xubnaha Koox diimeed kuwan mayalka adag ah, kuwaas oo kala joogay Geeska Afrika iyo Yurubta Galbeed. Arintan oo sumcad balaadhan u soo jiiday sirdoonka Somaliland Heer gobol iyo heer caalami ahba, waxay dhinaca Isteraatijiyada kor u qaaday ahmiyadii ay dawladaha reer galbeedku ku eegijireenn Somaliland. Raysal Wasaaraha Dawladda UK David Cameran ayaa bishii July 2010 mar uu ka hadlayey doorashadii Madaxtooyada ee dalkan ka dhacday ayaa waxa uu xusay in Somaliland ay ku taalo mandaqad dhinaca Amaanka saamayn weyn u leh Dalka Britain.

What if those Djibouti ninnies and their French nannies close the switch on you, just like they close their borders all the time. Even if Dalkom is influenced by TFG, you posses the landing station. So they cant do anything. Try to look past your tribal reflexes.

Al-Shabaab cant take over the system, unless they take over Berbera and the Indian Ocean. http://www.togdheernews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4876&Itemid=1 1. Shirkadda DALKOM Somaliland waxay Cable-ka si toos ah uga soo jiidaysaa Cabla-ka EASSY ee mara Biyaha Caalamiga ah ee Badda Cas, taasoo si toos ah ugu xidhaysa Isgaadhsiinta Somaliland mida Caalmiga ah (International Submarine Cable Systems) iyadoon dal kale soo marineyn xadhiga Cable-ka, halka Shirkadda SOMCABLE ay qorsheyneyso inay keento isgaadhsiin ku xidhan xaga bariga ama badda Shirkadda Djibouti TELCOM ee waddanka Djibouti.

It doesnt matter who owns a private company, its always private and they want to earn some $$. What matters is, where is the landing station going to be based? Cause that will decide which goverment controls the switch for internet, telephone, tv, etc. Choice is between: Dalkom --- Berbera Somcable ---Djibouti Logicly you would choose Berbera if you are from Somaliland. But they choose Djibouti, why? P.S. What Somaliweyn nacnac? Do you want to control things in out own hand or let Djibouti decide?

Are these your cousins? Shouldnt you introduce them to your inadeero?

I smell bovine stool(bullshit). Dalkom wants to set-up a landing station in Somaliland. Which would benefit the Somaliland and wider Somalia consumers, guarantee access and maintain operations within Somaliland. And not Djibouti. Now Djiboui can switch off our internet all other telcommunications. And this creates a monopoly for Djibouti Telcom. But due to tribal affiliations the previous goverment has chosen for Djibouti Telecom subsidary. I read somewhere that many previous Goverment officials and advisors have advised the current govermen to re-evaluate the decision and to choose Dalkom. ridiculous. Are we a nation of a tribe. Some people really have to make up their minds.
