Look at what happened to the most beautiful city in East Africa..... Some might argue that the forces currently under the Federal Gov't in Mogadishu are in better shape but I ask how come they haven't been able to launch a single independent operation on their own without AMISOM? They lack the training discipline and the needed equipment finances and coordination, the current army in Somalia needs to be fully transformed right now you have just some organized militia i just hope hassan knows what he is doing.

Yeaah they 2 should be allowed to have some nice brand new weapons

^^ Well that's not bad aslong as arms is equally distributed between the various clans and communities, HAG is making us Proud.

Long live the Islamic republic of iran

Saturday, 02 February 2013 16:11 Legislators approve Airport levy & Security lawBy: Yusuf M Hasan HARGEISA (Somalilandsun) - Every passenger flying into or out of the country will pay a mandatory $10 airport levy. The House of Representatives has approved the Airport Levy and Security Bill at a session with a quorum of 49 members and chaired by deputy speaker Hon Bashe Mohamed Farah. After days of debates the lower chamber of parliament the Airport Levy and Security Bill received approval through 46 yes votes, while two members voted against as another abstained thus allow the bill to be forwarded to Guurti which is the upper chamber of the house for either approval or rejection. The legislator's approval comes after the original draft bill presented by the ministry of Aviation and Air transported saw several amendments made to it by the parliamentary Economy, Finance and Commerce Committee-PEF&CC. If Guurti rejects the bill it shall be returned to the House of Representatives for amendments but if it receives approval by the Elders then it shall be forwarded to the president for signature thus became law. The approval bill legalizes the collection of a mandatory $10 levied on all passengers above 15 years of age upon entry and departure from the country's international airports. While the government has the authority over all services and tax collection at the airports the bill gives the Aviation ministry authority to delegate the services to any entity it deems fit for the duty. The law also gives the Auditor General authority to undertake audit activities as and when necessary as a deterrence against malfeasance by either or both the collector and ministry personnel. Though $10 airport levy charged passenger is now undergoing legalizing procedures it has been in existence for almost two years. When submitting the draft bill to the House of Representatives earlier this month, the minister of aviation upon grilling by members informed that the levy was collected by the National Airport Services and Handling Agency-NASHA, which is a private company. It is therefore expected that the ministry of aviation in pursuit of powers now confer by the law shall once again delegate, but officially this time, the collection of the airport levy to NASHA. On the other hand, and without disrespect to the August house of parliament, the query remains as per reasons behind the never ending quorum of between 32 & 49 in a chamber with a membership 82 honourables.

Hollande will be accompanied by his defense and foreign ministers, the president's office said in a statement Friday. READ: Mali plans July elections as it makes gains in battle against militants In addition to major cities, he will also visit the historical city of Timbuktu, which French and Malian troops seized from militants who had controlled it since last year. His office did not provide any other details.

READ: French military says troops control airport in key Malian city The visit comes as troops make major gains in the battle to push out militants in northern Mali. France, Mali's former colonial power, is leading the offensive after militants captured the vast northern desert region, raising fears they would turn it into a haven for terrorists. French-led troops now control the cities of Timbuktu and Gao, along with a swath in between that was an Islamist stronghold for almost a year, the French Defense Ministry said. READ: French president on military offensive: 'We are winning in Mali' France sent troops at Mali's request after Islamists seized the strategic town of Konna on January 10. The town is now back in Malian control. Islamic extremists carved out a large portion of the north last year, taking advantage of a chaotic situation after a military coup. They banned music, smoking, drinking and watching sports on television, and destroyed historic tombs and shrines in the region. But with the French-led offensive sending the militants on the run, residents are once again roaming the streets without fear. READ: What's behind the instability in Mali? France has 2,150 soldiers in Mali and 1,000 more troops supporting the operation from elsewhere. West African forces are expected to battle the militants alongside French troops. NATO said it does not plan to join the offensive. "The United Nations Security Council has decided that it should be an African-led mission," said Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretary-general. "And this is also a reason why I don't see a role for NATO as an organization in Mali or in the region. But obviously, I welcome that individual NATO allies have taken action and decided to support the French operation in Mali." Malian interim President Dioncounda Traore has said his nation will hold elections by the end of July. READ: U.S. steps up involvement in Mali

U.N. chief suggests review of 21-year-old Somalia arms embargo Michelle Nichols Saturday, February 02, 2013 UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The Security Council should consider lifting an arms embargo on Somalia to help rebuild the country's security forces and consolidate military gains against al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab, U.N.chief Ban Ki-moon suggested in a report Friday. The council imposed the embargo in 1992 to cut the flow of arms to feuding warlords, who a year earlier ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and plunged Somalia into civil war. Council diplomats said the arms embargo was "under discussion" as the delegations have not reached a final agreement. Somalia's president and prime minister were elected last year in the country's first national vote since 1991. "Enhanced efforts are ... urgently needed to develop the Somali National Security Forces," Ban said in the report to the 15-member council. "In this regard, the Security Council may wish to consider the repeated request by the government for lifting the arms embargo." Somalia wants help strengthening its poorly equipped and often ill-disciplined military that is more of a loosely affiliated umbrella group of rival militias than a cohesive fighting force loyal to a single president. There are 17,600 U.N.-mandated African Union peacekeepers helping battle the Islamist rebels in Somalia. The African Union has also appealed to the Security Council to review the arms embargo on Somalia. "Although security has improved considerably in Somalia, the struggle is far from over. The insurgents continue to carry out their attacks using terrorist attacks and targeted assassinations," Ban said. "These spoilers will seize any opportunity to reverse the gains," he said. "We must continue to stay alert and deny them the space they seek. We should continue to explore the measures already identified, such as travel bans and asset freezes, as we determine when and to whom these must be applied." Ban also recommended in the report that a new U.N. assistance mission to deliver political and peacebuilding support be established in Somalia and that the Security Council consider a U.N. or joint U.N.-AU peacekeeping mission once the combat operations against Al-Shabaab come to an end. He said planning for the deployment of the new U.N. assistance mission should take place as soon as possible and that it be based in Somalia instead of neighboring Kenya, now that security has improved. The Security Council needs to renew the mandate for the AU peacekeeping force in Somalia, known as AMISOM, by early March. The council is also considering a call to permit the export of stocks of charcoal. It banned the sale abroad of Somali charcoal in last February in an attempt to cut off al Shabaab's funding. The Security Council's Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea, an independent panel that reports on compliance with U.N. sanctions, says charcoal exports from southern Somalia in 2011 generated over $25 million for al Shabaab.

Somaliland: Puntland to Parley Somaliland after Threatening Somalia Friday, 01 February 2013 19:29 "If the Somalia government acts contrary to the federal Constitution we might follow the example of Somaliland with which we have initiated peace talks; President Farole By: Yusuf M Hasan GAROWE (Somalilandsun) - The Puntland regional administration has made a big about turn as pertains to its decades long bitterness against Somaliland. The president of the Somalia administrative region of Puntland Abdirahman Mohamed Farole has revealed that his government desires to establish contact with Somaliland as a prelude to peace in the eastern parts of the country. In a lengthily address to his newly established political party, the first in Puntland, President Farole informed his supporters that peacefull co-existence with the republic of somalialand was the only option for his administrative region that he wants to separate from Somalia if the government in Mogadishu continues to diverge from stipulations of the federal constitution. President Farole who has been a thorn in the flesh of Somaliland said thast talks already initiated will initial deal with establishing parameters for peace in areas bordering the two countries. Said he, "After establishing peace then we shall most probably embark on talks about the sovereignty of Somaliland which we want shall most likely favour in lieu of ongoing disillusions by Puntland on activities undertaken in Mogadishu as related to the federal constitution. According to reporter Abdirizaq Mohamed of Horseed Media, Farole also said that Puntland's democratization and election process needs to learn from the over ten years experience of Somaliland in such matters. Puntkand is expected to hold its first democratic elections this year a number of political parties have already been registered thus try to wrest political power democratic from Strongman Farole and his deputy General Abdisamed Ali Shire who have clung to power despite long after the expiry of their mandate. The warning to Mogadishu and subsequent revelations of imminent reconciliation talks with Somaliland by the hardliner unionist Farole is sweet music in Hargeisa and fowl broth for Mogadishu. If Puntland stands true to its desire for peacefull co-existence around the common Somaliland-Somalia border then the Khatumo secessionists are about to be made completely redundant owing to the fact that they and they mischief predecessors have always received their backing from Farole Somaliland officials at regional and national levels are yet to confirm or deny the Farole peace talks revelation and similarly Somalia authorities have not commented on the threats of secession by Puntland which is a backbone of the remnants of what used to be greater Somalia and now fragmented to several self administering regions backed by different neighboring governments.
