May Allah have mercy on every soul that was unrightfully killed. But I believe people are being selective and ignoring crimes commited by members of their clans. For example, Morgan is considered Geesi by many, but to us he was the Butcher of Hargaysa. :mad: Lets bring all criminals to court.

Next should be mandotary Six month basic military and weapons training for all able males between 16 years and 40 years of age.

Xaaji are all of those Saraakiil? btw..nice looking Cammos for a change.

Waxani war maaha naga daa Xaaji.

Ironically the secessionists are using gun and want to gain territory through force. It depends who you talk to garner public opinion. Everyone`wishes must be respected based on from the side yoi think is right.

Beggers would ride. I think that is how it goes.

Xiinfaniin' wish list: Strong federal state of Puntland Khatumo State that controls 75% of Sanaag, all of Sool and Southern Tog-Dheer(Ceyn). Emergence and realization of Awdal-Land to further carve up Somaliland. Federal Parliament's approval and the arrival of Jubba-Land. In nutshell, the so call clan grazzing territory as assigned for us by Xiin is Hargeisa, Berbera and Burco. Anything outside of that traingle is venturing into unfamiliar territor and thus must be combatted.

My mother always echoess the famous words " every dog has a day". This is Xamar time to be in the lime light. Enjoy.

Soomaaliya has a long way to go before we can trust them to be serious partners. There are alot of stuff that need urgent attention inside Mogadishu and The South.

Everything is going as planned

He is Saleban Nur now.

go Ummad.

abu salman i agree with you. we dont want crazies, we need someone with strong faith

somaliland should elect ucid or ummada

Stuff and nonsene as NG would say. Using a sad story to attack an ethnic group is not smart. The author is picking an choosing. The ones who threw her husband to the sharks are as guilty and they happen to be Somalis.

You have an elected President and Prime Minister now. The Transitional period is over. The problem with Somalia has not been with Puntland, it has been in recent decades in south and south central regions. If these two can succeed in bringing calm and governance to these region, then somalia has a great future.

Hey Fanisha. How you doing? Long time. You and I were like friends back in the day, eh! Good to see you still alive and well(:

I estimate a professional check point with two rectangular buildings to cost no more than $200000 , especially if a local company is employed to set up the gates and buildings. Professional soldiers . Thirty disciplined Somali soldiers at each check point. In Mogadishu's case, there are two main roads and a minor one that lead into the city. That would mean ninety soldiers manning the first line of defense for the city. Their salaries should be between $500 to $1000 to keep them content, and capable of supporting their own families while doing a national duty. 90 X $500/1000 = $45000/$90000 a month = $540000/1080000 a year. That's pocket change and could easily be funded through port revenues and taxes, Instead of overstretching the few manpower we have at the moment, maintaining a monopoly on the most important routes into a city would be a far more efficient way of using the little resources we have. if this were to happen at every city and town in the country, with a system of taxation paying for the construction of the check-points and salaries of the soldiers, we would be owning our own destiny. Armoured vehicles at the every check-point . Al-Shabaab's kryptonite has always been heavy hardware and armour, because each time the 'peacekeepers' patrolled without it, they were horribly massacred. When the Somali military purchases serious military hardware for the future army next year, small divisions of Somali soldiers with armoured vehicles should hold the fort at the check-points until enough Somali men and women have been trained to project power countrywide. The fund for the reconstruction of the Somali Armed Forces would cover this. Monitoring systems to cover an established perimeter , This could be funded with the taxation from Telecommunication companies, which owe the government around $50 to $100 million a year. This system of motion sensors, CCTV and patrol teams of ten Somali police officers would need only a fraction of that sum to get that security program up and running. Once they detect a specific movement outside of the main roads and minor ones, they would be send out to check. If the ones using unconventional ways to get into city are herders, they would be checked quickly then allowed to proceed, if these are more sinister groups, these patrol teams would sound the alarm and engage them. In total, in the case of Mogadishu, this system would cost around two million in the first year, and 1.5 million annually in the following years. The Port of Mogadishu in its current state makes more than that on a monthly basis and its not even touching its real potential. This is not a unrealistic proposal, unless professionalism and organisation are traits that Somalis lack? Well, I refuse to believe that for I don't suffer from an inferiority complex, or believe only foreigners can provide security. When Somalis are guided in the right direction, receive proper training, salaries and fight for a good cause, they are a force to be reckoned with. This is the most cost-effective way to deal with the interregnum period of a professional Somali military. Stability and security is expensive, countries world-wide spend tens of billions annually to make sure their citizens are safe. I'm proposing that we redirect the most disciplined Somali soldiers to protect the main urban hubs and agricultural centers so we can safely generate serious wealth and allow the government to purchase all it needs to project power nationwide, and provide services. Day in, day out, you see individuals on this forum mocking the state-apparatus for relying on foreigners for help, a schadenfreude for its current dependency out of clan or political reasons, should I then be surprised that my proposal is mocked as well? Not really, I actually anticipated it, next! Great! Although I have to admit that might solve the security issues, but having check-points manned by armored vehicles dotted around the city would not be very inviting to bussiness and tourism. Perhaps only having these enclosed security measures around important government buildings and public gathering places could work.

Chimera is thinking outside of the box. Lets not shoot down his ideas, lets encourage and perhaps start debating how we could make our country and people saver and progress towards a better future, certainly chimera is doing so. One q. How would be the cost in your estimate both in terms of man power and money that something like this would require?

That was factual destruction of epic proportion by chimera. Allahu Akbar.

^^^Masha Allah, brother. That was great insightful post.

God how awful would it be if President hassan Sh. mahmoud picked this wierd eye doc. I hope the President picks someone who is loyal to the greater cause even if he is from Puntland.

Insha Allah! Ceebaal maaha hadii Madaxwayn Silaanyu uu ka dego Muqdisho. Sida Garoowe oo kale, magaalada Muqdisho waa Magaalo Soomaliyeed.

Now that is how you approach delicate issue. I like this guy.
