Duke wrote "caravan of nonsense". Classic!!! Keep it up. May I also suggest Sharif Vila Somalia instead of Sharif Hotel as the best description of this power hungry thug who is supported by looters inc.?

As a result, according to the latest estimates, over 100 people, including children, women, and elderly have been killed; more than 300 others have been wounded, and about 3000 have fled their homes, where the Ethiopian troops and the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) militias have been looting their homes. Before this time, committing this type of massacre has been limited to the Ethiopian occupation troops and the TFG militias. However, it is now apparent that AMISOM is also adopting this evil practice. The latest carnage is a clear indication that AMISOM is assisting Ethiopia to achieve its objective of occupying Somalia and denying the Somali people their fundamental rights of life, liberty and property. AMISOM spokesman has claimed that the troops were defending themselves from the attack of some insurgent group(s)!! But the available evidence regarding the directions and the distance of the shelling does not support this argument. It is obvious that AMISOM had used unnecessary force and targeted heavily populated quarters and markets far away from the fighting area(s) which can only be taken as a deliberate mass killing. Since AMISOM had not come with the consent of the Somali people, lately, we have been spending a significant amount of time and efforts to convince our people to accept AMISOM as a peace keeping force, but the latest terror has seriously damaged the image and the mission of AMISON in Somalia. Moreover, it will most likely have a profound negative effect on the on-going UN brokered talks in Djibouti. We consider this AMISOM action as a war crime; therefore, we urgently request the UN as well as AU to send an impartial fact find mission at the earliest possible time to investigate these atrocities and swiftly bring the culprits to justice. Shaikh Sharif Shaikh Ahmed Chairman, ARS Let this be a clear evidence to those who don't understand the lure of power. XIIN FANIIN, your hero was everywhere last year condemning the death of somalis by Amison..now he is the same person ordering the killings of children, women and the elderly. Hypocrite.

Waiting for an answer from Mr. Faniin. NB: notice that in contrast to your question on predicting the future, my questions concern what we know.

Thanks Nasser, I hope Xiin and the rest of those who love this joke called government realises that there are not much difference between Sheikh Sharif, Abdullahi Yusuf and Abdiqasim.

President Anwar, anyone who can bring peace to somalia; anyone who does not bombard the same people he wants to rule, anyone who leaves the scene when chances are limited, anyone who is not selected through the 4,5 process, a non-qabiliste selection process. capito?

I see that LSK did a good job. But sxb changing the beesha xxx with beesha hiiraan is still damageful. Moonlight, please abide by the rules and regulations of this site.

Ilaheey asaga iyo inta kaleba (people who don't get a "allaha u naxriisto thread on SOL)Alla ha u naxriisto. juje, didn't this guy once run for the presidency?

Xiin, I am not a soothsayer. I don't know whether you. Only God knows. Or do you know it? Tell us. I am only guessing; From a somali perspective nothing worse will happen. Many of us have already witnessed worser things than a president and a prime minister leaving the scene. Do you live in a bubble? Now, answer my questions; a) what is the difference between Abdullahi Yusuf and Sheikh Sharif? b) Do you think the future of somalia hungs on Sheikh Sharif? c) What did they accomplish thus far? Jaanjumow, berigaan yaraa waxaan maqli jirey nin majaajiliste ah oo la odhan jirey jaajumow; he was funny. Lol@like him and looting. My guess is that you have looted my plot of land in Xamar

Ma ku dhacdaa Kenya? gumeeysataha madoobe ileen cashar ma qaato !

If anything what this show is the make of the so-called TFG. The ministers are tribal heads who want are inept on revenge. What kind of a government is that when its ministers are more concerned with revenging the deaths of people of their own tribes, while the country burns? This is the fabric of why this government will succumb to failure; it does not care about somalis. It is made of gun-welding thugs.

To the people of xamar cade the so called peace caravan was actually a war caravan. My predictions. Xiin Faniin does not want to acknowledge: 1. The failure of this government 2. The similarity of this government to Abdullahi Yusuf's TFG 3. The death of innocent victims in Xamar 4. The mechanisms that underlie the creation of this warlord infested government and much more. He calls me and others who disagree with him anarchists but surely he qualifies as a munaafuq because he does not see the shortcomings of this government; to him the murder of kids, women and the elderly in Xamar does not mean anything. When Abdullahi yusuf was in power there were numerous demonstrations; why is this not taking place now?

Moonlight, you are shooting yourself in the leg kid. You have no idea what you are talking about; you are similar to many people that frequent this site who want death and destruction for the somali people. You have no idea about the dynamics of Hiiran. Your unit of analysis is the "tribe" "the clan" "the beesha" and other below average fadhi ku dirir discourse. You are spreading fitna without having knowledge of the context, the actors and the dynamics of Beledweyne.

Mr. Xiin Faniin, If you think the future of somalia and somalis hung on the presence of Sheikh Sharif and Omar Abdirashid, you should go for a check of your brain. Your question does not need an enhanced imagination; it is a simple question. Your hero's sphere of power is confined to a few pockets in Xamar and it is here that suffering is taken place. and once they are gone, there will be peace insha allah. In almost all the other parts of somalia there is relative peace. You are probably too blind to realise that my friend. Sheikh sharif and his government are the obstacles to peace. It is because of this so called government that alot of our people have been killed; there is blood shed in Xamar because of Sheikh sharif. If your president does care about his own people he should leave the scene. Do you get it? Now, tell me what your perspective is Yaa xiin? Do you condone the death of women, children and the elderly in Hodan, Bakaaraha, Karaan by government forces? Do you support warlords, Qeydbid's militia? Yalaxoows? Qanyares? and Could you please tell us how this government is different from Abdullahi Yusuf's government??????

Xiin, lol I kind of the title " Anarchist" sxb. It is better than Marxist, Maoist that I am sometimes called. Answer me this question brother; what is the difference between the previous TFG and this one if you are a resident of Muqdisho?

^^^could be but couldn't it also be that those in power there have succeeded where this so-called government has failed? i.e. reconciliation, justice and the end of tribalism as a mechanism of power.

By the way, do you stop to ask yourselves why there are no reported killings in Merca, baydhabo and Kismayo?

If sheikh sharif and this so called PM care about somalis instead of power they should vacate the political scene. The last few days have shown that they are willing to stay in power at any cost to the residents of Muqdisho.

Horta ilaahey ha u naxriisto inta dhimatay. Teeda kale why are you ppl not concerned about the 250 plus killed the last few days? Time and again there is alla ha u naxriisto thread on SOL whenever a stooge, a warlord, a tribal figure head kicks the basket. Inta kale ma raashin baa? Moonlight, fidnada daa sxb. There will be no tribal fighting because of this event. Beledweyne is inhabited by several clans and if anything it was the deceased who were advocating for an all out tribal warfare.

"How can this government be saved?" I think a better question will be how do we save somalia and somalis? I think in the short term there is a simple answer; Sheikh Sharif should leave the scene; he should throw in the towel because he has turned outto be another thug who has used AU forces to murder/bombard residential areas. There is no difference between his so called government and the previous one. This is a beleagured president who does not care about the killing of somalis by so called Amison forces and his tribal militia. You must have seen the carnage that has taken place in many places in Muqdisho. In the long run, we need a government that is not based on a sick formulae known as 4,5 which is the root cause of the current problems. Many somalis have taken note that murdering innocent victims is equal to position of power.

Yeah, waa bash bash iyo baraare. This Hassan guy and Osman NZ appear to be mutants of General Duke. They cook the news. General Duke at least cited Idaamale and allpuntland when he was reporting how the TFG forces were in control through out somalia. These two members sheekada uma qayiilaan. Pathologically lying about everything including copying and pasting old pictures to fool us.

^^^^ beat it. This topic is not kids corner yaa "walee waa runtaa" or "jaaleyaalow sacbiya" if you know what I mean. Did it elude you that everyone is entitled to his/her opinion? You have the typical characteristics of the mechanisms that has made somalia what it is; agree with me or else .... Do you want me to be wrathful yaa "dawladaan nahay matagle"?

Xiin LOL. Haa geeleena waa isku daaq I am his younger brother Calasoow. Adigu ninkaaan ma col baan idin dhexmaray? Ma geel buu reerka ka dhacay? Seriously, I don't understand how a person of calibre can support this qabiil-infested-gove rnment consisting of caado qaatoyaal. It is with a pity that you are endorsing a government that is based on a primitive structure in anno 2009. By the way could you please answer why you were against Abdullahi Yusuf and now support sheikh Hotel when it is the same mechanisms that lead to their selection as presidents of a defunct nation. You claimed that Abdullahi Yusuf invited Ethiopians, isn't the hotel lad doing the same? 1-1 dheh Abdullahi Yusuf used the hateful tribal militia in his command to bomb innocent Xamaraawis, Sheikh hotel did the same 2-2 dheh. Abdullahi Yusuf was blindly supported by naive somalis; sheikh hotel too 3-3. Marka waxaan u arkaa munaafuqnimo haddii aad taageersantahay dawladaan dhiciska ah. Dagaalada xamar sidii ayaay u socdaan 4-4 dheh Abdullahi Yusuf never engaged the dreaded warlords. Sheikh hotel did. He is supported by Indhacade, maxamed dheere, yalaxoow and the rest of the dogs of war 4-5 What we are witnessing is a bad copy of the Doofaareey process jaalow. Hal booli ah nirig xalaal madhaashaa maandhow? Dawlad qabyaalad ku dhisan oo ka koobaan dagaal oogayaal taageeri maayo.

Povero somaliland; another opportunist in the midst. The boundary between a vilian and a hero is a thin one.

Osman_NZ, You don't know what you are talking about!! Peacelord kulaha. Have you been cloned from Meiji? You two have a lot in common including the glorification of warlords and murders. This warlord started his killings in 1988. This is the father of all warlords.

If wishes were horses beggers could ride. Hassan, let us see; you named the topic; it is official Dhair Aweis has been killed; and what do we read "Pro-government militia says Aweys dead, rebels deny it". How many topics of lies and cheap propaganda have you introduced thus far??? Nobody is going to believe you. You cook the news without using salt
