The fact that Sharif was wearing a tie was a dead giveaway.

A great victory for the Israeli lobbies who actively backed Mr Samantar.

This is an utterly weak point secessionists use to discredit our blue flag & the borders of the proper Somali Republic. Get off the delusional horse you have been riding for the last 20 years and join the Somali peace & political process. What the hell are you talking about?

Djibouti would be the best option

Clutching at straws by the anti SL mob. They were drunk on delusion last night thinking the president was refused to speak only to be heartbroken by the UK Foreign Office itself posting the audio.

It's funny Puntland views it as a success when it is placed alongside Somaliland in anything, whereas Somaliland views it as an insult.

Is Ban Ki Moon going to answer the question about Somalia's economic waters zone......

Lol at what Zenawi is saying right now "Baidoa came out in their tens of thousands to greet their liberators"

It seems the case is going ahead because he can't get immunity due to the fact that - furthermore, at the time of the filing, there no longer was a “state of Somalia” that could qualify as a foreign state under the FSIA. http://cja.live2.radicaldesigns.org/article.php?list=type&type=85

Lol at the added sound effects.
