Assalamu Calaykum, I think this new story barries all the questions raised against the courts of them not caring about the people. For the fact that it is the courts who have initiated this act of ceasefire or truce translates that they are deeply concerned over the death of the innocent civilians who have been caught in the crossfire in the recent battle which has taken more than 36 lives as well as the previous ones. This dicision of ceasefire was first reached by the courts although they have the ability and capability to continue the fight. The warlords would have never come forward for a ceasefire. My hats off to the courts for showing care of the civilian lives and therefore avoiding further conflict at the capital. Thanks for the link Duke. Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, I am posting this into the General's section, because it's I think where it belongs, so I warned everyone who tries to bring any politics into this. Please enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bosaaso, Puntland, comment, discuss in logical way and then move on with the rest of your day fellows. Click this link> enjoy, peace, Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, To Mr. Maakhir, Mr. Ducoqabe, and Mr. Mansa Munsa. First before you feel so proudly attached to the author and his article, have you asked yourself what benefit would this bring to Somalis other than widening the rift and the gap between Somalis? I still to this day don't understand why some nomads who claim to be pro "Somaliwayne" and pro "Somaliland" continue to post and give so much care to something that has been written down by some indivdual in order to get their point across. I am fully aware that this is a political discusion board, so we can instead discuss how the problems can be solved and we can come to middle ground, instead of tired and lame arguments that have no positive ending. There is no difference at all of someone just uttering such a Qabilist words orally and someone puting those words on a paper as this particular article. I think the author should have spend his time writing on how the problems occuring within Somalis can be extinguished and should look at things in an open minded and unbiased way. I would never appriciate an article or an author who spends his/her time just making attacks and remarks then waiting for a respond from someone else who doesn't agree with him/her. What he needs to do and what you need to focus on is how can the problems accuring within Somalis be solved today, rather than adding potreluem to the flames, it's better to try to put it out even it has to be through writing. It's obvisouly waste of time and waste of literacy, because literacy looses any meanings and becomes big fat zero once it evolves around Qabiil. Finally, my advice to you and to my self, let us pray for ourselves that Allah cures our sicknes of Qabilism. Let us turn to Allah to solve our problems, and let us turn to the Quran and the Sunnah as manuals to guide us to the straight path. This is the only way to solving our problems, a warlord, criminals, and qabiil will not solve anything. Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, Hey folks, I find amusing on what some people will do sometimes, like riding motorcycle across a dirt roads with the sun beating down on their skulls.I doubt a Somali would attempt such thing.

Pakistan is a failed state? who came up with a such list.Somalia as we are all aware is failed state, but some of the other countries that are on there are not what they made to be, such as Pakistan, Yemen, North Korea etc.

Assalamu Calaykum. It's firsts that I have seen someone denying for someone who has wished him/her a blessing. I wished for peace be on you, and you are denying it. It's the Muslim greetings my friend, and everything else comes after it. I still think it's piece of garbage for what you have posted, both this one and the one before that. Mr. Maakhir, have you forgotten the hate that you were speading around when the little conflict over the Sanaag resources was going on? You actually did say that it would be a great idea to have state named Maakhirland, did you not? About the other thing of whether I am not real Northerner and what not, well I don't need your approval to be eligible , so come down little fellow. Besides, why do you give much care of anything that is anti Northerners aka Somalilanders if hate is not full of you. If I was trying to distort their image, you would have felt that through my words. Assalamu Calaykum.

Originally posted by General Duke: Red sea, first stop making silly statements, it does you no justice what so ever. If Yusuf is a warlord then so was Egal, Tuur, and so are Silanyo, all the SNM comanders who took part in the wars. Riyaales actions as an SNN operative, his claims over SOOL, SANAG and CAYN would in my eyes make him no different to Yalaxow, Inda CADE and the warlords in the south. I expect nothing from secesionists for their main claim has been that everyone who opposes then and convenaintly happens to be outside their clan is a warlord... My leaders have disapointed me, they are the eleceted President of the republic, the PM and the Parliment speaker. They have not delivered as of yet to my very high expectations. Kadaroo Dibi dhal, saaxib sida aad wax ufahantid ma garanayo, so I will just leave at that, because there is no point of having any intellectual converstations with you since you have lost the base of the whole discussion.

ASSALAMU CALAYKUM, The reason that I won't give any meaningful feed back or a opinion to this article that you claimed is well scripted is because the article itself doesn't carry any meaningful message that we can all benefit from. It's basically a Qabilist minded fellow who is accusing of others of being Qabilists, is that something that deserves a pleasant feed back from any reader. Because basically literacy looses any importance once minused like this author and his respondents have. Suprise suprise Mr. Maakhir, have you given up on your "Maakhirland" independent state dream my freind, how quick of you to get off you Maakhirland bandwagon.

Assalamu Calaykum, My friend Wiil Duco, maybe you didn't read the thread at all that I have posted. All I did was apolagize to those brothers from Sool region. I am not trying to satisfy them, I am merely taking the responsibiltiy of my actions on my shoulders nor am I satisfying my fellow statesman. However, the reason I have chose to appologize way after that problematic thread is because I feared Allah that I have done something that wasn't pure, therefore in order to get it off my chest I had to apologize to those brothers that I have offended. All these other accusations that you have put forth is just plain error that have no base whatsoever. You need to point out where I talked about Qabiil or had the aim of satisfying those whom we hail from the same region before you accuse me of something wrongful. Thanks in advance bro. asssalamu Calaykum.

Originally posted by General Duke: Our TFG is quite, maybe the life of one individual and his family dont mean much to our leaders... Who are your leaders I must ask Mr. Duke, the warlords and the criminals perhaps. If one individual's life meant something to them, life for Somalis would have been heck alot better in long time ago. So wake up sxb, there is no leadership potential in a warlord and a criminal.

Originally posted by Castro: No talk of innocence, atheer. Just due process, jurisdiction, hiding under the cloak of Sharia and using real blood for propaganda purposes . Those are the issues being discussed. isues being discussed my foot sxb. Listen "adeer" what is your take on this issues then? I don't hear anyone feeling sorry for the real victim here whom was cold bloodly murdered by the executed individual.Whether the courts did the right thing or not, the man killed someone and he was excuted for that reason only,so now tell me what part of he who kills someone should be killed for don't you understand? Sidii wacan ba Allah og, so I will leave this issue up to the best of judges in my part; Allah exalted in might. I have my ears closed from any of these arogant and so called discussions that you people possess. P.s. Abdullahi Yusuf is still remains to be a war lord no matter what any Xaawo and Farah say. Illahow sidan noo dhaam. Ma waxaad ujeeday Illaahow sidan siidhaanta naga yeel. Because Allah is always perfect and doesn't to improve anything. Assalamu Calaykum.

Are you people out of your mind, the man killed someone and he was killed for him for that reason. What is this innosence nonsense that I am hearing about? There is nothing innocent in killing someone. Case closed.

Originally posted by Khalaf: how many other murders happen…. Why this dude? Can’t pick and choose….who to execute…and there is no Islamic Law in the land…how they gonna apply it eye for an eye in this case and crimes are committed everyday nothing happens…. Not anymore after this, can anyone dare to take one's life from this point forward unless offcourse they are the warlords. They were dealt earlier this month, remember. Besides I don't know what you are hot about my brother Khalaf, the dude was killed, because he killed someone, can't we leave it at that. I mean the man isn't innocent, so why feel sorry for him, maybe they shouldn't have taken pictures to show us, but the right action was taken. was a minority weak bet on it….how many members of stronger clans kill do they get excuted publically..nah. How much do you want to bet? put the money where your mouth is, because this guy happens to belong into one of the major tribes, called clan reer Hebel, like it matters. Just kidding, but why does it matter on what clan he belonged to, the bottomline is he killed someone and he is gone with whom he killed. the courts didn't killed him, they ordered his excution but the son of the victim finished with his own two hands. P.s Brother Khalaf, about the little mistake you made there, well don't worry about it. I'll keep watching. Assalamu Calaykum.

Looking great. I wonder what programs they show during the week, may be religous; that would be something there. I hope some of the folks in Basaso aren't obsessed with this 24 hour news channel. Like an Old man said that he would go to sleep whenever the people on TV go to bed, well you know when that is; never. Just a joke! Very well constructed facilitity, I am impress I must say. assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, Come down little fellow to me?? hmm you have no idea, first stop swearing, because this forum is for only intellects not for thrash talkers. So before I can come down, you might want to think about using some part of your cereberal facility, then I can have some exchange of ideas with you. Thanks for your cooperation. Assalamu Calaykum.

aaaaah same old arguments, Allahu Akbar when will this cycle of nonsense ever stop from both sides.

Assalamu Calaykum, Mr. Alamagan, I am well aware that you are not from Sool, but whenever that you are trying to encourage someone, just make sure that you are sincere with your words, instead you made me seem like I want to displease those whom we came from the same region, the matter of the fact, I know when I am wrong and I know when to apologize, if you have words of encouragment for me, please brother come forward with them without dragging other nomads from Somaliland into the fold. My intentions are almost always to please Allah no matter what, Capish? To Mr. Nayruus and Maakhir, I would like to know who the transgressor is and whom does that verse apply to? Does it apply only to those from Somaliland or those from Puntland. In your judgement, Somaliland is the one to blame while Puntland is where the rightous people reside. My stand is they are both wrong in their act to take arms against one another,therefore stop misusing the verse folks. markaa yaynaan iska dhigin sidii waxaad kusheegtay saarka qabiilka in aanu ina hayn, saaxib wuu inawada hayaayee, ha isla saxsanaan. Mr. Nayruusow hadal kaagaa ayey ka muuqataa, jooji Quraan isku qariska aad wado ayaan ku leeyey. Assalamu Calaykum.

Originally posted by Khalaf: La ilaha ill Allah wa anna Muhammad-ur-Rasul-Allah. [/b [/indent] I know you didn't mean it, but you actually said that " I am Muhammed, Allah's messenger". Mistake happens though, it's no problem, just letting you know. and they gonna call this sanctioned by Islamic court....its fitnah Brother Khalaf, it's call Wal cayna bil Cayn, wal uduna bil udun. It's an eye for an eye. The man was excuted, because he murdered someone, he is the fitnah, not the Islamic law. Allah said an eye for an eye. You killed someone, you are coming with him. This is the perfect way to it;in a public, so others may know that is the way for anyone who wrongly murders another. Mr. Khalaf before you utter such thing, you might want to read the Quran and the Hadith stressing the reward for anyone who wrongly kills another muslim individual. This is the way to do it if we go with our Islamic law, well done by the courts I say. Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, Wallee inaga ayaa wax aragnay. Isqor ma maqli jirteen. To Mr. Nayruus, sxb. I don't know what you are up to but listen very carefully here. I am not making any excuses and certainly there are no buts and ifs, My stand has always been clear and straight forward. However, I dont' want to repeat myself, so you might want to check out my past posts. coming to the topic at hand, I am really shocked that you have the guts to Quote the Quran in wrongful way, what you are basically doing is that you are promoting hatred here. You are puting all the blames on one side and saying they are the trangerresors. The point of the fact is that there is no right side and there is no one wrong side. I can simply say they are both wrong with their acts. The Prophet SCW said in a Hadith, that if two Muslim individuals get into fight with their swords, and one of them is killed, they are both going to experience the hell fire.Then a companion of the Prophet asked the Prophet why both since one of them is the victim, then the Prophet (SCW), they will both go to hell, because each one of them was trying to murder his brother. This Hadith definately applies to that situation, and both sides are doing their best to get rid of the other, and that is an evil act. However, what I dont' understand is that you have managed to quote the Quran wrongly and inexcusible way. For that, you have just created a conflict by taking a side, my stand is that I wont' take anysides. To Mr. Jaylaani and Mr. Nazir, brothers I know it's cyberworld, but I have chosen to respect my brothers although I have the option to disrespect them. Besides, Mr. Nayruus, and Alamagon, my apologies are not for you, they are merely for those from Sool region whom felt that I have offended, not from those from my backyard such as Nayruus. Assalamu Calaykum.

Originally posted by Somali_Weyn: Believe it or not Abduallhi Yusuf is the President of the People’s Republic of Somalia. His words and actions are being felt from Mogdishu To Hargaysa. Was Abdullahi Yusuf ever voted into office by the people or by warlords who have been terrorizing the country for the last 15 years and so.The answer is No and Yes. Abdulahi Yusuf is a warlord whether you glorify him or not, he lacks any skil to lead a nation, except offcourse; how to oppress and suppress those he rules. I wont allow another criminal and military minded individual in my part to tell me what to do. If those living in Moqdisho would want to except a warlord government, that is their choice, but I am not with you on that. Red Sea aren't you Somalian :confused: :confused: My counter qeustion, do you have to be pro Abdullahi Yusuf to be a Somali? Well then as Somali person, I have voted against him, and don't want a nation headed by thugs and tuugs. I stand from experience of when a nation is headed by military minded men, it is ruin and as result suffers long standing devastations. Assalamu Calaykum.

Who listens anything from a warlord in the first place anyway, anything he says is invalid, because of the individual he is (warlord). Cajiib!!! Only Somalis I gues listen to what is being said by a warlords. Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum, Some of you might be wondering why apologize, but before you respond in any way please here me out first. As some of you might remember, I have posted pictures or images depicting some Somaliland soldiers stationed in Adhicadeeye, Sool. Some nomads from that region felt extremely offended As a result of my post titled "ciidamada fadhiya Adhicadeeye", saying Somaliland soldiers have no right to be stationed there nor do they deserve to be encourage in their act. Well, I would like to take the time to apologize to those brothers and sisters who were offended by my post. The soldiers stationed in that area whether they are from the Somaliland side or from the Puntland side share a common goal which is to shed the blood of their brethrens. I as a Muslim person do not support that in any way shape or perform, and I am wholeheartly against such an evil act by anybody. The only reason I have posted those images were to show simply the pictures of soldiers, but since such a post has no beneficial outcome,it was indeed a mistake from my part to post them, and I will take that responsibility square on my shoulders. After all, Allah subxanahu Watacalaa said in the Quran: "and help one another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil)". (Suratul Maa'idah) Allah forbid that we encourage evil doings and help one another with good deeds as stated in said verse. To my fellow Somalilanders, I hope you don't percieved this as though I don't believe what Somaliland stands for, but I like to get my point across in respectful and rational way to my other Somali Muslims, therefore this particular thread applies to that. I hope everyone understands this and doesn't misinterpret it. Assalamu calaykum.

ASSALAMU CALAYKUM, Did you say Khalid Yasin in Minnesota, how sure are you bro/sis about this? Please let us know more of what time this is taking place,because I want to go there insha Allah. This is a great oppurtunity for those living in the twin cities such as myself, so please since you broke this exicting news, I want to know more of what time he is delivering his lecture . Assalamu Calaykum.

Assalamu Calaykum Atheer Castro welcome back sir, we have missed your presence here in SOL badly. Tell me sir have you been on vacation or what? if so where? --Borame perhaps. thanks in advance. Assalamu Calaykum.

assalamu Calaykum, Well I thought the question was, who was your hero? and I think every rational thinking Muslim person would abviously have chosen Prophet Muhammed as his/her hero. If this question is regarding a Somali man that did so much for ALL somalis to earn the title hero, then I say, the title of the thread answers that, because it's abvious enough folks; we don't have a hero. Be reminded that if we had a hero, we wouldn't have been where we are today and that is living prove that Somalis are lacked any leadership. p.s. I say my real hero in life are my parents beside the prophet Muhammed (SCW) Assalamu Calaykum.
