Mo Farah wins world 10,000m title in close finish in Moscow • Briton finishes strongly in time of 27min 21sec • Farah pushed hard in the final straight by Ethiopian The Observer, Saturday 10 August 2013 16.34 BST Mo Farah Mo Farah crosses the line to win gold in the men's 10,000 metres final at Moscow. Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images Mo Farah won gold in the 10,000m at the 2013 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Moscow in a time of 27min 21sec. The race began at an easy pace over the first 2,000m, after which Farah moved effortlessly to the front, a tactic that brought two Ethiopian runners forward to increase the speed. Farah then settled in between his two training colleagues, Dathan Ritzenheim and Galen Rupp in the middle of the stretched-out field. The first 5,000m were covered in a gentle 13min 49sec, which entirely suited a very relaxed-looking Farah, with nobody apparently willing to take the initiative. The Kenyan Moses Tanui led the field for several laps and into the last 2,000m, before Farah moved again to the front with four laps to go. Ritzenheim and Rupp briefly passed Farah, but the Briton worked his way to the lead with two laps to go and Rupp a protective presence on his shoulder. As the bell sounded, Farah stretched his legs and kicked, but Ethiopia's Ibrahim Jeilan came strongly on to his shoulder, and for a moment it looked less than a foregone conclusion. Down the home straight, though, the Briton found an extra ounce of pace to add the world championship to his Olympic title.

Mo Farah wins 10,000m title at World Championships in Moscow Double Olympic champion Mo Farah won his first 10,000m world title with a brilliant sprint finish in Moscow. The Briton, 30, powered down the home straight to win in 27 minutes 21.71 seconds at the World Athletics Championships. Ethiopia's Ibrahim Jeilan, who beat Farah in Daegu in 2011, took silver and Kenyan Paul Tanui the bronze. Farah is expected to try and repeat his London 2012 distance double by defending his 5,000m title next week. "I had the experience from two years ago," Farah told BBC Sport. "I knew I just had to cover every move and the guys were going to go out there to take a lot out of me. I was just digging in, digging in. "It was nice to come out here and win it. Training's been really hard. "I've spent a lot of time away from my family and when I came home for the Anniversary Games, my little daughter didn't even recognise me. But it's definitely been worth it."

The pirates never liked the Turks so this is understandable

Somaliland: Vice President Urges Country’s Armed Forces to Accept Award of Rankings August 9, 2013 Hargeisa, Aug 10, 2013 (SDN) — Somaliland Vice President Abdirahman Abdilahi Ismail (Zeili’i) called on all branches of Somaliland national armed forces to accept the newly initiated full scale armed forces rankings after the government awarded 10,000 serving officers pooled from the three branches of the country’s armed forces. “Government dared to provide full scale armed forces rankings. Previous governments have been afraid to dare and take such historic step for a long time, but eventually it became dream true for Kulmiye ruling government. Rankings given to the national forces might be not sufficient as expected, but I am calling for all members of Somaliland national forces to accept and congratulate each other.” Vice president said during Eidal Fidri’i prayer with thousands of Hargeisa people at Hargeisa Grand Mosque Mr. Zeili’I has also sent congratulatory message to all Somaliland people where ever they are for the sake of Eidal Fidri’I days. “Although we have been busy to establish the rankings of the security forces and tried our best to provide rankings, but still there can be errors and complaints by members of the armed forces and we can make mistakes because we are human but there are no intentional mistakes made by the committee for Armed forces Rankings.” Said Somaliland Vice President Seili’I, The Vice president finally urged all Somaliland people to unite for the development, construction and the peace enhancement in entire country and he also call all Somalilanders to pay everything to contribute realizing Somaliland’s recognition efforts. Somaliland president Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo In presidential decree has directed the ministry of Defense to institutionalize armed force’s chain of command by finalizing the award of ranks. The rankings awarded to 10,000 officers from the 3 branches of country’s armed forces as recommended by the report of the Armed forces ranking committee.

Its been a blessing for Somaliland to develop its own model and in its own pace. Recognition is also needed for Somaliland passport to be accepted around the world to trade in Somalilands name,ofcourse Somaliland needs to develop the country first. But it also needs the cooperation of the rest of the world. And its also good from a legal point of view that Somaliland sovreingty is recognized. In order to protect themselves from external influences or those who want to undermine their independence. U cannot say its a blessing to be unrecognized. There are many countries the size of Somaliland or smaller who have done it take for example Eritrea,its one of the least influenced countries in Africa.

What?

To be realistic I thing Somaliland has lest chance and stronger determination than rest . Xaaji is dreaming if he expecting acceptance from Mogadisho I have never said there will be acceptance from Mogadishu that will never happen on their own , the only way we can go our seperate ways is if our great friends from Europe and America mediate between us. Than it will come and it will be very interesting. Laakin waliga ha sugin koonfurians to support Somaliland independence. You will find more Israelis supporting a independent Palestinian state than Koonfurians to support Somalilands quest for statehood.

This is what our beloved prophet Sayiduna Muhammad said in his last Khutbah All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety (taqwa) and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves. Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. O People, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.

Muslims pray to the one true God , Allah Subxanawatacalla, they dont worship no man no other person its Shirk to worship any one but Allah.There is no threat coming from Arabs to Somalis,they are no threat to our heritage culture one reason they are intertwined.So it will not make sense to create a non existing enemy. Prophet Muhammad preached equality between Humans he was not send to Arabs but to all man Kind. His message is for all breathing humans on this planet. In islam u are not forced to wear Arab clothing this is another lie , and when it come to names its a good thing to name your children after the Sahaba or after the prophets and if you have other names aslong as it doesn't go against the teachings of islam as long as u dont have greek god names its good or something similar to that. One of the most revered islamic scholars were non Arabs. Sheikh Muhammad Bukhaari the hadith collector was a Persian Sheikh Al-Bayhaqi was a Persian. Sheikh Abdulqadir Gilani was a Persian Imam Junaid was a Persian.Abdullah ibn Salam was a sahaba he was of Jewish ancestry, he belonged to the group who were promised paradise. Along with Umar ibn Khatab abubark al sidiq , Sayidina Ali uthman and so on,he was part of that league. What about salman the Persian, who translated the first Quran from Arabic to Farsi, he was the sahaba who translated the quran into a foreign language. What about Salim Mawla Abu Hudhayfa it is said that Umar ibn khatab wanted him as his successor, but he died as a Mujahid There is a hadith that prophet muhammad said oo Muslims learn the Quran from Mawla abu hudhayfa. Islam is for all Human beings islam is the true religion and its superior to any religion on this planet. Arabs are Muslims they are part of the Ummah we pray also for them that allah leads them as he leads all the Muslims. Arabs and Somalis have no fundamental conflicting interests not in the horn not in Africa not else where.

People who start insulting Arabs its a phase the next phase is insulting or dividing the ummah attacking Wahaabi Salafi, the next phase is Kufr. Telling Somalis , Islam is an Arab religion thus we should reject it. Arabs are Humans they have their good bad we dont generalize all people. If Somalis have problem with people they take it to them they dont whine and act as if they are abused by other groups. Somalis are proud of their islamic heritage and we will continue to defend islam against any one. We also love Sayidi prophet Muhammad CSW more than anything in the world we also love the Sahabas the best among the Humans we love the four imams we love the Arab/islamic Hadith collectors. We are proud of the proud Arabs of the past the glorious Arabs who conquered much of north Africa and Spain and France to spread the words of almighty. Somalis committed more crimes against each other than a few people abused , i will not view an Arab different because some skinny was bullied by an Arab, war raga ama iska so celi ama cabaadka naga daa.

Now thats good that we agree on something and what do you think of the possible emerging 5 new countries by the year 2025 clearly elaborated in the report. 1. Scotland 2. Catalonia 3. Republika Srpska 4. Quebec 5. Somaliland What are their chances do they have a chance of surviving independent.

I dont know i ask you , is Puntland jubbaland galmudug calling for independence if they want independence which i doubt but if they want that ,they need to fight for their cause.

Hassan at some stage would understand that he can never win the hearts and minds of the pirates they already accuse him of changing the constitution. I would welcome Djjibouti to host both Somalia and Somaliland i will consider it neutral ground. Britain Turkey united states Ghana Sweden Norway Germany France i am oke with it. Its all neutral ground. And president Ismaciil Cumar geele is an excellent host. Talking with Somalia is good , Somaliland has nothing to lose by talking to Somalia. Somaliland will continue its double diplomacy with engaging with the international community and talking to Somalia. Hassan cannot give away anything he doesn't have Somaliland u cannot give away something you dont have. He wants the union to come back but its not feasible he knows that 2 deep inside his heart when he was elected he said there might not be even a union. If it comes to a referendum i am sure he will have little problem he would just tell the parliament of Somalia he let the case of independence and union to the people of Somaliland. And that he is given a particular time to convince the Somalilanders about union to promote his cause. The Parliament of Somalia will pass it remember HAG the bay and bakool the D'r form the majority in the parliament. they dont even need the gedo votes who are also allied tot he government.

Somalia;972833 wrote: What's interesting is that Xaaji thinks engaging with Mogadishu is what will get him recognition, I think this is a new view, it must be welcomed. All roads should be tried i was never against talking to Mogadishu, but there was no Mogadishu to talk to , Ali mahdi was a warlord. Caydiid could not deliver what SNM wanted. Cabdi qasim was also a warlord. Cabdilahi yusuf and his xabashi mercenaries were at war with Somalis. Non of the governments in Somalia were legitimate. Some controlled a few streets in Xamar. But Somaliland will talk to Hassan he has a something that resembles a goverment although under African union troops it has full legitimacy. Wada hadal cool always cool Any where you want except in Somalia and Somaliland

Quebec i doubt that will happen any time soon their referendum already failed Republika Srpska is also far away, Scotland can happen catalonia to we just dont know how bad the Scots want independence does any one have statistics. Somaliland is the only one in Africa a functioning government a working democracy, Somaliland is also very lucky and unlucky the country they were once part of is no longer functioning it has something that resembles a goverment.If there is mediation some where in the near future the talks will be something like this Somaliland insists we are an independent state Somalia was never the mother country of Somaliland. Historic evidences will be in her favor. Somalia will argue Somaliland is part of Somalia , Somalia is a recognized nation by the UN and the international community the western powers given legitimacy will be in her favor.The Mediators listened to both sides, will than try to bring them closer to each other to a settlement by creating more cooperation by the 2 sides. The Mediators will tell the Somaliland delegation how certain are we that the people really do want to be independent did you held a referendum. The koonfurians on their turn will say that people want unity. Somaliland will tell the mediators that SL already held a referendum in 2001 and the people wanted to be independent. The Koonfurians will say the referendum was not valid and not all people voted and it was done just after the civil war the people were bitter and now the people have cooled down look at Fawziya she loves us koonfurians. After much much talking the mediators will come with the idea to continue the cooperation between the 2 sides and to hold a referendum in a few years time. While Somaliland allows the Koonfurians to sell promote their Somaliweyn in Somaliland on agreed dates. And the movement of people.

2. Catalonia 5, new, countries, that, might, exist, by, 2025, With Spain's economy in shambles and PM Mariano Rajoy increasingly mired in scandal, it's no wonder calls for Catalan independence have grown stronger (and maybe even more compelling) as Catalonia rumbles toward the controversial 2014 referendum. Home to one of Europe's biggest metropolitan areas, Barcelona, Catalonia has seen hundreds of thousands of citizens turn out for protests in favor of independence despite the Spanish constitution's ban on secession. An independent Catalonia could be sustainable too: the region, about the size of Belgium, accounts for a quarter of Spain’s total exports, and Spain takes more than it gives, spending only 57 cents in the region for every dollar of taxes collected there. Ban Ki-Moon and David Cameron have offered some support for Catalan self-determination. It’s been suggested that about 60% of Catalan citizens support secession, but hard-line opposition to independence in the rest of the country may hamper what would seem like a done deal in many other nations. Catolonia might just happen but 60% is not much they need 50% plus one but that would be weird Barcelona would be no longer in Spain, that would be very weird my favorite city in Spain.

I am still wondering though if the Scots would really break away from the United Kingdom the costs of doing business with England or Europe would be much higher if they adopt Scottish ponds.If they use English Ponds or the Euro their monetary system will be controlled by others. The new Scotland also would have to do without the fiscal largess from England. How independent do the Scots want to be , and people like James Cook and other great explores would no longer be British or General Richard Montgomery who led the British Forces in the America's would no longer be seen as a Brit but a mere Scot. Even the last 2 Prime Ministers of Britain Gordon brown and Tony Blair were Scottish. But i can also understand that the Scottish people were fighting for independence since the 12 century and we wish them all the best. But they need to think of the decision they make and what way they will vote.

If our European brothers mediate between Somaliland and Somalia in serious talks than Somaliland can be recognized in in a few years time 4 to 5 years.

Smart move by Culusow he wants his image to get better and he wants to get some $$ and last but not least he wants to be viewed as Somali leader. It kinda reminds me when Cabdilahi Yusuf said he wants to reconcile Somalis when the Tigrayans were calling the shots in Xamar. And there was a Somali translator translating everything the Tigrayan chief was saying. But people should not blame Culusow for all the problems ofcourse ha has his shortcomings but its not his fault. What capacity does he have just look at the former Somali republic. The north said under the leadership of Somalilands Siilaanyo they broke away and they will only talk with him in Turkey, and he has to respect their statehood. In order to be friends and there is so little he can do in that department. Than u have the northern province of Somalia Puntland ,they threaten with secession and believe only a constitution binds them to Mogadishu referring to the federal constitution Than you have Alshabaab under the leadership of Amir Godane they demand the African union troops to leave Somalia , or else the attacks will continue they have declared several fatwa's and they also said they will continue to wage their Jihaad. Than u have Jubbaland under the leadership of Ahmed madoobe he said that the Kenyans are his allies and that Mogadishu must respect his admin in order for him to respect Mogadishu. IGAD has more say in Somalias domestic affairs than culuso him self. So what are we expecting from hassan, what can he do does he have an army does he have working institutions. The man is under African union protection and the Somalis are not really working with him.
