NEW YORK (AP) — Somali born Mo Farah of England outsprinted Gebre Gebremariam in the final 200 meters of the NYC Half-Marathon on Sunday, edging the Ethiopian by 2 seconds in a scintillating finish along Manhattan‘s West Side Highway. The British runner raced past and then held off Gebremariam, the 2010 New York City Marathon champion, and American Galen Rupp to cover the 13.1-mile course in 1 hour, 23 seconds. Gebremariam placed second in 1:00:23 and Somaliland born Mohamed Farah Rupp third in 1:00:30. “I know (Gebremariam) has a great kick to the finish,” Farah said. “As we got closer to the line, I thought he would come with me, but I said to Galen, ‘Let’s do this thing.’” Caroline Rotich won the women’s race in 1:08:52, pulling away from fellow Kenyan Edna Kiplagat in the last mile. Kiplagat, also the reigning NYC Marathon champion, crossed in 1:09:00 and American Kara Goucher was third in 1:09:03. The race was a confidence builder for Goucher, who is preparing for the Boston Marathon next month after returning to racing only recently following the birth of her son, Colt, less than six months ago. “I feel so relieved,” Goucher said. “Now I feel like I can really pull this out. I felt great.” Goucher ran her first marathon in New York in 2008, finishing third in the fastest marathon debut by an American woman. She also finished third in Boston in 2009 and won a bronze medal in the 10,000 meters at the 2007 world championships. Farah, Rupp and Goucher are all coached by three-time NYC Marathon champion Alberto Salazar. Farah and Rupp were making their pro debuts at the half-marathon distance. Rupp had a nasty fall early in the race when he clipped defending champion Peter Kamais of Kenya, sending both down. “Past the initial shock, I tried to calm down and relax, relax,” Rupp said. “I told myself that I am back up there, nothing serious injured and have to save energy for the finish.” The race drew a deep international field, including Yuri Kano of Japan, who was invited to compete after the Nagoya International Ladies Marathon was canceled in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami March 11. “The people in New York really welcomed me and cheered out my name to encourage me. I would to return to run in New York again,” said Kano, who finished 21st in 1:14:59. “I can’t express how much it helps the people in Japan to know that people around the world are supporting them.” Organizers said 10,225 runners started the course that took them on a loop through Central Park, down Seventh Avenue through Times Square, across 42nd Street, and along the West Side Highway to Battery Park. The winners earned $20,000 out of a total prize purse of $100,000. Source: The Associate Press

Ciidamadan Ethiopian-ka ah ayaa fariisimadii ay ku lahaayeen degmooyinka ay faarujiyeen waxay ku wareejiyeen Ciidamada Dawladda KMG ah iyo kuwa Ahlu Sunna ee ay dagaalka wada galeen.

What bothers me the most is Jacpher you never come with a solution for your country all you say is we want more troops more foreign troops just like your leaders Sh dalxiis and his predecessor Warlord Cabdilahi Yuusuf. UN EU AU are organizations but these organizations don't own your country or your people. And they should not dictate your constitution or your rule of law they even pick your leaders.They even scheduled a mandate for your leaders. Amiir godane said he will rule Somalia and does not need WFP and other UN agencies nor does he need their Foreign troops and mercenaries or their silly mandate. He wants to turn Somalia into a self sufficient nation, now sure Alshabaab is not the perfect govt for Somalia but it's a step in the right direction for now . And sure there should be a different form of governance in Somalia in the near future and i think there is another alternative which will lead to a peaceful country eventually if the so called TFG stops allowing Foreign troops in Somalia. Alshabaab in the longterm can be changed from with in and the result will be they will drop their international agenda for the bigger cause. Inshallah. Habeen wanaagsan.

Jacpher you still did not tell us what Igad will do for Somalia other then telling us they are member of the club, or what Yoweri will do for Somalia other then saying stuff like Islam will be send back to the middle east where it belongs? or perhaps you believe he did a noble job for Somalia for sending his troops to Mogadisho Just Like Melez did before.

^^ Awoow adna ma joogtay oo micrifoon ma siidatay soo kumaad riyaaqeyn free sh dalxiis from Amisom:D

Well zack we can't be certain but most likely Alshabaab as we all know they want to dominate the region if they were smart they would've declared an islamic state of Somalia and move the capital of Somalia to a peaceful place Like Merka. And establish real government institutions in the regions they administrate and at the same time keep a strong grip on Mogadisho.But i think they would do that when they defeat Amisom which is unlikely since the international community will continue to back the new TFG even after august. Alshabaab would leave their Militia way of governing their regions and set themselves up as a governing system.But there is a catch as long as Both TFG and Alshabaab won't compromise they status quo will prevail. Oba wa runta TFG waxay wadan dhaqaaq ciidan laakin waxay marwalba ku xiidhantahay ciidamo loo taba barayey TFG kenya iyo uganda laakin lama hubo goortay ciidankasi diyaar yihin hada ciidanki Gedo ka dagaalamayey waxay ahayeen ciidamo somali ah oo ahlu sunna ciidamo itoobiyaan ah iyo ciidamo ka tirsan TFG tiir adag na kumay tagnaayn marka laga reebo ciidamada Itoobiyanku Africanka jooga Xammar ba awooda oo dhan isku geyey xammar.ku darso Alshabaab 3 front bay ka dagalamayaan Gobalada dhexe xammar iyo gedo.
