I doubt his is real significant there is no stepping down these MPS were not elected by the people so who cares. Hassan will finish his term and so will saacid farax. Perhaps he might even get a second term aslong as his qatari buddies support him.

i agree with cadnaan its worth it Somalia is Turkey's target for neoottomanism , they will not leave because of some security problems. What they will gain is much more important.

Need to withdraw their support from the SFG how is it possible that 2 Militia who are both on the same side are fighting each other communities of the Habr gangster clan attacked the water malians, who also wore SFG military uniform. This is unacceptable i wonder how a federal state can be established, if people do not even agree who owns what land? What can the government do actually about this the best thing if the goverment wants to be taken serious Amisom African union troops need to be stationed there and keep the peace.

Is he expecting a rational answer from Alshabaab:D LOL

Cambuulo they need to removed from the military, the security forces need to be filtered , or else u will always have spies with in. The government knows this but the problem is they are scared if they cut them loose. They might join shabaab again, but keep in mind they are no use to the goverment either.

Furthermore its impossible for a group such as alshabaab to not have a secret cell in Mogadishu it would be impossible for them to carry out attacks in Mogadishu. The question we should ask our self is does the intelligence service know about this or are they ignoring this fact?

The brotherhood is gone for good i think they got the chance to lead they screwed up big time, and started alienating other communities. They can create disharmony by fighting but they cannot defeat the army , maybe they will continue to protests and protest.Which will never allow a smooth transition. Lets see what happens in the next coming weeks.

Somaliland :New FM Calls For Solidarity The new foreign affairs chief has been categorical on the fact that the state would leave no stone unturned in pursuit of its aspirations, and advised Somalilanders across all political divides to forge together and reflect one solid unit. He at the same time clarified it vividly that it was in incumbent upon SL to underpin the core essence of its statehood, whenever and wherever applicable. Hon. Mohammed Bihi Yonis made the sentiments upon embarking on his portfolio as the new foreign affairs Minister during the handover ceremony yesterday. Hon. Bihi stated that in connection to the upcoming Brussels meeting, EU delegates are now privy to the fact that the situations on the ground for SL/Somalia cases were quite in contracts. “Where we were 20 yrs ago is where they are today”, said Hon. Bihi. “Our aspirations are parallel to each other, our priorities are in contrast and our agendas are quite different”. He underscored the fact that they have already underpinned to the EU the need for two-track approach towards the Somaliland/ Somalia issue. The new FM outlining his plans The Minister said that despite the fact that he has been away for over four decades and held high portfolios like running an outfit with a 2 billion dollars budget, he asked for blessings in order to sail through the currents of his new cumbersome task. On the other hand, the outgoing foreign chief Hon. Mohammed A. Omar who is now the commerce Minister said that he spear headed a five-prong systemic approach during his three years tenure whose pillars were based on: Stepping up inter-national relations Attend all meetings in for a with SL interests Solicit and lobby for more international grants Forge to impact on international stage Become a regional players Several cabinet members amongst then Information Minister Hon.

Sultan Faisals speech

Not to liberal but i have some democratic values aslong as it doesn't go against my islamic principles , and i am very tolerant to. But the Politicians of Somalia, they believe if one invests in another part of the world , that means he is against their community or clan. Which means he is a terrorist or a terrorist financier lol.

At least 120 Morsi supporters reported killed in Egypt clashes Turmoil deepens as security forces shoot scores of Muslim Brotherhood supporters at sit-in in east Cairo guardian.co.uk, Saturday 27 July 2013 17.29 BST Link to video: Egypt: '100 Muslim Brotherhood members killed' in Cairo At least 120 supporters of Egypt's ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, have been shot dead by security officials in what is the worst state-led massacre in the country since the fall of Hosni Mubarak, according to figures released by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. Earlier reports on Saturday said the death toll had exceeded 136. The Egyptian health ministry said that it had counted 38 dead – though its figures are only based on bodies delivered to state institutions. The massacre took place in the small hours of Saturday morning, at a sit-in at Rabaa al-Adawiya, east Cairo, where tens of thousands of pro-Morsi supporters have camped since Morsi was deposed on 3 July. Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad said the shooting started shortly before pre-dawn morning prayers on the fringes of a round-the-clock vigil being staged by backers of Morsi, who was toppled by the army more than three weeks ago. "They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill," Haddad said, adding that the death toll might be much higher. Al Jazeera's Egypt television station reported that 120 had been killed and some 4,500 injured in the early morning violence near Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawia mosque. Reporters at the scene said firing could still be heard hours after the troubles started. "I have been trying to make the youth withdraw for five hours. I can't. They are saying they have paid with their blood and they do not want to retreat," said Saad el-Hosseini, a senior Brotherhood politician. "It is a first attempt to clear Rabaa al-Adawia," he said.

Photograph: Ahmed Khaled/EPA There was no immediate comment from state authorities on what had happened. The clashes started after police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of Morsi supporters who tried to extend the sit-in in eastern Cairo. Al Jazeera showed medics desperately trying to revive casualties arriving at a field hospital set up near the mosque. El-Haddad said police started firing repeated rounds of tear-gas at protesters on a road close to the mosque sometime after 3am local time (2am BST). Shortly afterwards, live rounds started flying, hitting people at close range. The deaths come just two weeks after military and police officers massacred 51 Morsi supporters at a nearby protest in east Cairo. They also happened less than 24 hours after hundreds of thousands of anti-Morsi protesters gathered in Egyptian streets to give General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, the army chief who ousted Morsi, their assent to crackdown on what he had on Wednesday called "terrorism". Sceptics say this is a euphemism for a violent campaign on largely peaceful Morsi supporters, who have held sit-ins and marches across several Egyptian cities since Morsi was overthrown – including at Rabaa al-Adawiya. For weeks, most Egyptian media have depicted pro-Morsi supporters as terrorists. "It doesn't make sense for a defence minister to ask people to give him authority to fight terrorism," said Abdallah Hatem, a 19-year-old student from Cairo, on Friday. "So his speech was a pretext for something else – a pretext to fight peaceful protesters who want Morsi to come back."

^^ They were trying to advance very fast Menelik would reach the interior of Somaliland if it wasn't for the Brits, there was nothing that was stopping him he had a force close 120.000 troops with more than 90.000 rifles purchased from the Russians. Imagine if our grandfathers never made a treaty with the British and Menelik would invade us and he would than sign a treaty with the English on behalf of us. That would be terrible we would be under Bug eyed xabashi today.

^^ Thats how Koonfurians want to see Somaliweyn, let my tribe eat first or else you are a terrorist:D

But this is exactly how it went, whether one was a victim was irrelevant, there were always divisions no one can deny that telling the truth does not mean propaganda. Maybe there is a bit of generalization but they are only making a generalization on the political elites of Somalia not the actual people. All in all good film they should do another one but than with better quality.

^^ Haa dee wa Somali saasay na leeyihin.

The Somali region made allot of progress , but that doesn't mean there are equal rights there like all the other regions, the reason why also there is no real progress in the region compared to other regions, is because there is also infighting jabhad ONLF. Also the other reason is the TPLF regime doesn't like to share the wealth of the nation. Even though the ethiopian regime is an Ethnic regime controlled by the Minority Tigray ethnic. I have visited Jigjiga several times to its a city with allot of potential. By the way there is nothing fake or propaganda what safferz posted people do live a normal life in Jigjiga its not a warzone and people do not get massacred there.

Good pictures jigjiga is making allot of progress the dds regime is investing allot in the region although it doesn't get the attention as the rest of the ethiopian kilils. its making some good progress. Thanks for sharing.

Amisom general bahuku did that but i was talking in terms of ending the transition which resulted for the international community to support Somalias new goverment with more legitimacy.

The previous governments did little to , all credit goes to the legendary Mahiga, so lets give credit where its due this man helped Somalia to reach its deadline

Dr_Osman;970799 wrote: It's not about attending or not but the words used in his speech. He mimicked exactly wat farole said that it will table its priorites in the new deal, where-as somaliland is saying the same thing except it won't do it in brussells. Don't you remember when farole was saying that puntland development assistance bay uu tahay like infrastructure and mogadishu waxay uu bahan tahay humantarian assistance?. Is the new pedofile minister here not saying the same thing? The issue is not about attending or not but the words chosen. At least come up with something original and not copy farole words. BTW, I called the minister a pedofile and he sure is, because his apart of an administration that is turning a blind eye to babies, women, girls being gang raped and rape every day on the streets of hargaysa. These are they're locals who pay taxes and are not being protected by it's administration. So yes he is a pedofile for joining the government. xajigu, dont worry pedofiles, terrorists, jaad chewers, and aqoonsi seekers are all present in hargaysa but lets just deal with one issue at a time due to the small area your people inhabit. niyahow hargaysa and burco mooye everywhere is empty in your enclave and the u.n population survey went to count your nomads and towns beyond those two and FOUND NONE. LAANGAAB. Puntland is 5 million. Somaliland(inc sool and sanaag) 1.5 million. So your triangle is even smaller then 1.5 million possibly 300k Osman the garowe clan enclave is irrelevant all it want is the attention of Culusow, his whole speech was to get the attention of culuosw because culusow said he is going to represent Somalia. No one used Faroole's words Somaliland is completely in another world than the garowe clan enclave can you specifically point out what words he copied from the garowe clan enclave leader. Osman where do you get your statistics from Puntland is 5 Million are you on drugs , Somalia and Somaliland together are close to 10 million, 3.5 million in Somaliland 6.5 million in Somalia are you than saying of those.6.5 million people. 5 million are pirates and 1.5 million people are reer Mogadishu reer galguduud and reer jubbaland. come on son , by the way Puntland is 50/50 there are more reer bay and bakool in bosaaso than reer ssdf. Your statistics is completely out of context you probably made it up.

^^ Sasab what Sasab pirate boy didn't you lot claim Somaliland will be forced to attend the London conference just few months ago. If Somaliland says it doesn't go it doesn't go. it always looks from what is good for Somaliland, Somaliland first sadaqo second. For Koonfurians its sadaqo first and baryo Somalia second.

Alshabaab carried out more than 4 important attacks highly targeted positions The theater The UN compound The Court house The Turkish head quarters today I am Predicting the next office they are going to hit will most likely be Nickolas kay office Alshabaab wanted also to attack the Mogadishu airport but it has so many security, African union troops and underneath the bunkers there are CIA operatives. So its impossible to reach there they might plan to get an inside man there. For the Mogadishu security forces its better if they find the hidden cell and completely destroy them. Or else the attacks will continue Alshabaab completely changed their tactics and strategy, they are doing now what al Zarqawi of Iraq was doing in 2005 2 years after the fall of Sadam. Suicide attacks in important area's.Alshabaab now wants to survive and is on the run but its not defeated and this is one of their surviving methods. Reer Mogadishu know where the sleeping cell is they better come out and help the security forces. There is no way that reer Mogadishu do not know where these guys are coming from. They have people working with them in the security branches.
