I saw it the other day either Edo Hillary is uninformed or Xassan sheikh will surprise us all i doubt the latter

No the Ugandans have T 90 tanks since the year 2007/2008 when the UN was passing the UN resolution on Somalia to send peace keeping forces the state department delivered brand new T 90 tanks to Uganda. They are now part of the AMISOM security forces. They are far more better equipped than the Kenyans. The Kenyans have couple of Tiger II jets but they are not much for use since the US air force does much if not all of the AIR support. That leaves the Kenyan armed forces their training is below average did you know it was the so called Kenyan special forces that did this operation this morning and look how it turned out. The Kenyans are unprepared the Ethiopian army isn't that superior but they know how to deliver a knock down to Alshabaab we have seen it before. Now here is the problem with the Kenyans are they planning to stay long in Somalia the Ethiopian belligerent spirit to wage war is much more effective than the Kenyans who are crawling on their knees to capture Kismayo. As for what XX wants i want the Kenyan army their top generals to hold a press conference and tell us how the situation is in Kismayo.

The commander of the Ras Kamboni Brigade, Sheikh Ahmed Madobe, said the final push to take the city was very imminent. Posted by SEK5 on September 28th, 2012 A Somali faction leader and a principal ally of the Kenyan military campaign in southern Somalia has predicted that the allied forces now gathered on the outskirts of Kismayu will take control of the southern port city “early next week”. Speaking to the Nation in a telephone interview from an undisclosed “frontline position” near Kismayu, the commander of the Ras Kamboni Brigade, Sheikh Ahmed Madobe, said the final push to take the city was very imminent. Q: Can you give us an update of the situation on the frontlines? When is Kismayu likely to fall? Sheikh Madobe: I believe the campaign to liberate Kismayu is in the final stages. We are in the process of wrapping it up. I hope by early next week, the city of Kismayu will be in our hands, God willing. Everything is going according to plan. Our combined forces are advancing on multiple fronts and they are on course towards entering the city from all corners early next week. Q: Talks have been going in Karen (Nairobi) in recent months aimed at creating an inclusive administration for Kismayu. Can you tell us how they are going? Any progress? A: The talks are still continuing, even though, admittedly, the pace has been slow. We are waiting for the technical committee overseeing the process to complete its work soon. Afterwards, there will be a second phase, which will see a major conference convened, hopefully, inside Somalia. The conference will deliberate on the many proposals put forward by the technical committee before arriving at a decision. It is this conference that will ultimately complete, agree and endorse the composition of the future administration that will govern Kismayu. Only then will the new administration be unveiled. We are very optimistic about this conference. We are very satisfied with the work of the technical committee and the progress so far made. Q: There have been reports that the imminent fall of Kismayu is creating anxiety among some clans that feel apprehensive about possible Azania clan dominance? How are you addressing these perceptions and fears? A: (Laughs) These are just propaganda churned out by the Somali rumour mills and idlers in Nairobi. There is no such thing. These forces (Ras Kamboni Brigade) are Somali and Kenya is a brotherly neighbouring state. They are not affiliated to this or that clan. The claim that the azania clan or the gedo clan are invading other clans is simply untrue. I do not know where this claim is originating from. Obviously, any leader of a group is born to a clan, is a member of a specific clan. Must this then automatically imply that he is fronting for a clan interest? This is nonsense — sheer propaganda — without foundation. The proposed conference will create an all-inclusive administration, and all will be free to vote and express their opinion. Q: In the light of the experience in Mogadishu, how prepared are you for the potential risks of increased insecurity and insurgency-related violence in Kismayu after its fall? A: Look, first of all, Kismayu is smaller in size than Mogadishu. Second, we know al-Shabaab well and are familiar with their modus operandi and schemes. God willing, we will deal with them appropriately. We know their plans. We know they left an estimated 500 fighters in the city of Kismayu to cause trouble. We will deal with them robustly, I assure you. Q: What are the relations between Ras Kamboni and the other Somali factions in the anti-Shabaab alliance — especially the Gandhi group-like? A: Whether it is the Gandhi group, Ahlu Sunnah (wal Jama’a), the Somali government or the other groups, we are all part of a broad alliance. We are fighting together for the same cause. We have one agenda. At this moment, we have no differences with anyone. We are all part of the (Karen) talks and it is that process and its outcome that will ultimately govern relations. Obviously, all the issues relating to the future administration will be decided within the framework of those negotiations.

14 hours later since the so called capture of the city not a single picture not a single interview where are the Kenyan generals?

Ugandans have better equipment they have T 90 tanks Russian made and ZTZ-99 tanks Chinese made .the Ethiopians are much and much better trained than the Kenyans they don't have the equipment the AMISOM ugandan forces have. But the Ethiopians can battle a long war and have no problem if they lose 500 troops or more as long as the job is done. KDF on the other hand it took them almost a year to attack Kismayo and look at this this is embarrassing to be honest.

i told NGONGE Alshabaab will put up a fight he didn't believe me Amiir godane will not let some kikuyo toy army run him over.

Kenya says AU forces storm Somali rebel city of Kismayo The Somali government has had success with the recent surrender of al-Shabab militants Continue reading the main story Somalia - Failed State African Union (AU) forces have launched a beach assault and taken control of parts of Kismayo, the last major Islamist militant bastion in southern Somalia, Kenya's military says. The port city has been a stronghold of the al-Qaeda-aligned group al-Shabab. Al-Shabab spokesmen told news agencies that fierce fighting was now under way. The Kenyan troops are part of the AU's Amisom force, which is trying to wrest control of the country for the newly elected UN-backed president. Kenyan military spokesman Cyrus Oguna confirmed to the BBC that parts of Kismayo had been captured and the rest was expected to fall soon. Mr Oguna said the joint operation of Kenyan Defence Forces and Somali government troops had begun at 02:00 local time (23:00 GMT Thursday) and was "basically amphibious". Mr Oguna said: "We cannot give casualty figures at the moment, the damage has not been assessed, but I can tell you our forces are already in Kismayo." He told the BBC: "There are some parts that still will be under the control of al-Shabab because we only got there a couple of hours ago, and Kismayo is a big city." 'Lightning and thunder' Al-Shabab spokesmen said fierce clashes were taking place. Al-Shabab commander in Kismayo, Sheik Mohamed Abu-Fatuma, told Agence France-Presse news agency: "The enemy using military boats have deployed hundreds of soldiers in the coast late last night and the mujahedeen fighters are engaging heavy fighting now with them. God willing they will be defeated." Residents of Kismayo told Reuters news agency they could hear fighting outside the city. One resident, Ismail Suglow, told the agency: "Now we hear shelling from the ships and the [militants] are responding with anti-aircraft guns. "We saw seven ships early in the morning and now their firing looks like lightning and thunder. Al-Shabab have gone towards the beach. Many residents have taken their guns. The ships poured many AU troops on the beach," he said. There are also reports that helicopters are attacking the town. Earlier this week, Kenyan military jets had bombed the airport in Kismayo, destroying an armoury and warehouse used by Islamist militants. Some 10,000 people had fled Kismayo in the past week, the United Nations refugee agency estimated, as Amisom, government troops and pro-government militia advanced on the city. The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, in Nairobi, says that last week al-Shabab appeared to be making preparations for an exit, moving out fighters and equipment. He says Kismayo is a significant source of revenue for whoever controls it and its loss would be a serious blow to the Islamists. Kenya began its intervention in Somalia nearly a year ago after a spate of cross-border attacks blamed on al-Shabab. Al-Shabab has been forced out of the capital, Mogadishu, and several other towns over the past year but still controls much of the countryside in south and central Somalia. Since the overthrow of President Siad Barre in 1991, Somalia has seen clan-based warlords, Islamist militants and its neighbours all battling for control.

Today is the moment of the truth today is the day we will all know if our sources were correct:D

Its just happening stay tuned for more development on this.

Somalia is very rich by design i agree it can sustain its self in the long term with the right economic policies poverty and lack of basic infrastructure is because of the war and bad political leadership.

This victim mentality needs to stop ASAP. How long baad ku haynaysaan wala na laayey this is embarrassing.

Stoic you are correct i do not think she hates any one her choosing her words slightly wiser would've been a bit better. How ever i can understand she is not angry at the poor masses in Somalia. But rather frustrated with the international community those angry words were indirectly directed to the international community. Another point is Edna is from the older generation she lived under Colonial Somaliland she witnessed Somaliland gaining independence from Britain she and her husband carried out the union but she regrets the union not back than but now and she kinda feels guilty when explaining to the younger generation of Somaliland that it was her and her generation that buried the Somaliland statehood. So when ever she kicks against Somalia its not personal she just feels sick that she made a bad mistake a few decades ago and that mistake is still hunting her. I believe when Somaliland is recognized she will sing this song and dedicate it to Somalia and the people of Somalia.

I know but that's politics , she than speaking as a politician and it can sometimes come over as very coarse. Not as Edna the woman that takes care of the sick in her hospital or the edna who opens clinics and betters the health situation of Somali Woman.
