There is no strategic reason in fighting over a police station or a village. Alshabaab got Jowhar on lock.

Alshabaab have distinct green unis and cover their entire face.These are their allies, Xizbul Islam.

JB why is this suprising news?! It just shows how wierd it's to see Riyaale in that part of Somaliland. This is like Bush visiting Montana. Very shocking.It's all obvious why he is there; he is lobbying for votes. Good luck to him there, as he will not get any.

I'm sorry Sh. Hotel aint a siyaasi. Trully kaba kawayn aas gashtay, asagaa yaqaan sii ugu socon lahaa like Muse suudi said.

We're getting there slowly but maturely.

I like the patience of the opposition. The adminstration has been careless. And the opposition showed muturity and why they deserve to run Somaliland.

Oof Calayk Somalis at it again. I love how we exaggerate things and blow them waaay out of proportion. I don't see the wrong doing in this at all. If anything Kismaayo has been a quite success story if you ask me.

ismahan that picture of the man wearing the Arabic Gop isn't Zayid Abdalle Hassan. That is his son and he was no hero of any sort. :confused:

^Abdullahi Askar as in the former SNM officer? And what do those medals mean?

I'm thinking republic of Adal. How does that sound? or perhaps Zaylac, so the folks from the area can be called Zaylici(s).

I like GAP and Banana republic.

Ciidamada Dowladda iyo kuwa Amisom ee taageeraya ayaa madaaafiic ku garaacay Xaafadaha Caga-dhiig iyo Geed Jaceyl ee Degmada Wardhiigley iyo qeybo ka mid Suuqa Bakaaraha, waxayna duqeyntaas dhacday kadib markii Xarunta Villa Somalia ay madaafiic ku duqeeyeen Kooxaha Dowladda ka soo horjeeda Source

KK ayaan mar shukaansaday. I like her shoes. Then waa la qabaa ee iga qalee ayey tidhi oo kuwa kalaan kuusoo raadinayaa. Wali waan ka sugayaa.

^Which one, nuune? Siyaad indha cade mise kii hore? Romantic, Your list is incorrect. The key players are in focus here.Half of the people you mentioned are irrelevent.

^LOOL waar ninka NG ayey is hayaan miyaad yara sugtid.

Faroole seems more liked than Cadde Muuse. See that is why change of leadership is always good. you never know who you may get. you might get corrupt one, than toss him out and land better leader.

Oh okay welcome saaxib.

Wacdaraha ninyow waad dawakhsantahay runtii. Maryan Mursal mahaa meeshaa soo galiyey lool

loool who Romantic guy though is he new??

lol@RR...trust me I got it(: Emperor it doesn't matter who is better and who is the truth teller. They're manning the same ship saaxib. It's like saying Cheney was better speaker than Bush(which he was) but still their policy and their convictions were the same.

^Wise words sxb.

Emperor and Duke, Obesity is not an insult, after all he is bit overweight right. Nonetheless he will be as effective as his Boss.If Sh. Hotel is non starter, than same can be said about him."Awrka danbe, Awrka hore socodkiisuu yeeshaa" says the somali maah maah. And as ever you give too much credit. He has to prove himself first. Few words he said behind AMISOM hardware isn't strategy to speak of. We have to see progress and a sign that they are regaining momentum. So far, they've done all the talking and Alshabab has done all the damage.

^Waar adigu cay badinadaa. Calm your horses man. In every thread your words are marked with hashes. Does that give you a hint of any kind?

They entered, then withdrew. That is not a capture. That is hit and run.
