OK let's leave the love y'all have for xabashis aside for now, why doesn't Ethiopia recognize Somaliland as a country? P.s. Stop whining about being bombed, it was a dictatorial regime that did that, not the somali people. As a matter of fact those who were in that same regime are your rulers today.

Poker and Jbaro, answer this very simple question: If Ethiopia is doing u any favor or even has a lil' love for you how come it doesn't recognize you as a country bal? Ethiopia, Ethiopia meesha lasoo qey qeyla, adeerayaal u have a love for a WRONG country. Ethiopia doesn't love you, it is USING you. Every Mulugeta and Taddesse knows that.

Cowke, Well said! Puntland can't get it both ways. They need to stop strip-dancing for the Tigray regime or lose the western Somali business. Somaliland chose the first and Berbara, like you said, is a dead port today.

^I think Al-shabab's kalajab is being caused by itself, they are the reason XI is fighting against them. They violated the power-sharing agreement that they had with XI.

^XI is causing Al-shabaab iney kala jabto?

XI waxey ka faaideysanyaan kala jabka ku dhacay Al-shabaab ee ka bilowday imaanshihii Dirir ee Kismaayo iyo dilkiisiiba.

I think it would've have been easier to answer if the question was "Is Somalia better off with Barre not in the equation now?". And I think the answer is HELL NO. Somalia was way better than the way it is when he was in charge. End of the story!

^Maya Adeer ma aheyn Xaajigaas.

Cowke is very sick young boy. I blame his xaafadda that he was raised in.

ONLF Press Release Sunday, 18 October 2009 18:53 Ethiopia’s claim that it has captured four tonnes of Chemicals and 7000 rounds of ammunitions, after an ONLF commander had surrendered is an exercise in extreme chicanery by inventing tall stories intended to hide its war crimes in the Ogden and confuse the international community. Just few months ago Ethiopia was claiming that it has defeated ONLF and that the Front was no longer a threat, and now suddenly it discovers this cache of armaments. Ethiopia constantly parades fictitious ONLF deserters in front of the cameras in order to get some semblance of credibility for it wishful claim of victory against ONLF. The truth of the matter is that it is trying to divert attention from mounting loses it is encountering at the ONLF valiant warriors and the heinous crime its army is committing in the ****** against the civilian population. The latest such crime was Waraarka Garbodiimo village near Babile Town on 17 October 2009 where the army summarily executed 8 people and wounded many others who were attending a wedding ceremony. What the propaganda Minister of Ethiopia, Bereket Simon, is not getting is that he is becoming a laughing stock day by day by repeating as mantra the preposterous claim that ONLF cooperates with Alshabab. Furthermore, the claim that ****** National Liberation Front and Oromo Liberation Front are jointly operating with AlShabab shows the level of desperation of Ethiopia in its fight with ONLF. The Meles regime is willing to stoop to cheap and shallow means, in order to try to tarnish ONLF’s stature. If Ethiopia thinks that the countries it is trying to get more aid from has no intelligence services that are capable of knowing who is with whom in the Horn of Africa, it is in for a mighty shock. ONLF

So people are now speaking for Christianity and church just to find a way to criticize Somaliland?

^Waxaan ku weydiiyay maxaa u isticmaashaa quotation marks and bold text in every other sentence..

DhulQarneyn, How are the caanoole guys doing now? Are they still in Kismayo or did they go back to their desert in puntland?

Originally posted by Dharjaale: Just look at their picture, one beating his chest, the other carrying what looks like a tusbax, is this what you call a President and Finance minister. Looks to me like two Suufiya-Qaadiriya looking forward to a feast. So now looking Islamic or wearing Islamic clothes is backward? What a backward mentality!!! What do real presidents look like bal?

^Gabayada qabiilada lagu caayo oo lasoo qalloociyay jooji yaa waxuush! Haddii aad qabiil si gooni u neceb tahay adigaa naceybkaas la dhiman ee qabiilkaas SOL matag aaad ku matagtay waxba kagama qaadeysid.

Adaa Mudan, Bilaalow. I met the president myself in that same Hayat Hotel (representing different kind of Students Group). The time was very limited. They told us we had 15 minutes but ended up giving us only 10 or less. And yes those kids are right, Shariifka was avoiding to answer the questions and hardly answered any. The other Shariif (I think he is the current Ministry of Finance or something, the dude that used to be the speaker of the parliament) was answering most of the questions for the president. When a controversial or complicated question is asked you could tell from the president's face that he was asking for the other sharif's help. Overall, it wasn't bad at all.

^Questions like: Dahir Aweys waa la socon jirtee maxaa argagixiso u dhahdaa hadda? Adiga iyo Dahir Aweys maxaa isku dagaasheen?

Shariifow yaa shariifow... funny song.

Peacenow, just shut up! And quit talking about our religion. Find something else to talk about. General Duke, I agree that Aweys is in trouble big time.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: Something fishy about this HI Vs Alshabaab war ...... The war in Kismayo is all about money yo. Neither HI nor Shabaabs can claim they are fighting for "LI takuna kalimatALLAHU hiyal culyaa" like they do in Xamar. And if they attempt to make that claim they both know nobody is going to buy that crap.

Aw Muuse dee haddeey imaadeen.

^The news article you posted has nothing to do with the its title, sxb. When did they say they hate foreigners?
