Duke- Calls to Beled-Xaawo comfirmed the news.

Mar dambe walle inaydan banaanbax kale samayn!

So is your war drumming now in the name of Clan (reer Bu'aale) or Islam (ICU)? Also, why can you not fight as Clan if you are talking in the name of it?

Ahmed- Baardheere is home to people who have been destroyed by war, droughts, and flooding. Instead of boasting of strength to capture it, why not fulfill the "Jihad" and the real enemy?

Jihaad-ow xaal qaado!

sidaas darted koox iyo maamul waliba oo ISlaam sheegta kaddibna jihad ku dhawaaqa sidaas ayuuba ku xukuman yahay Laakiin….; laakiin waxaa muuqata in Maxkamadaha arrintii siyaasadeeyeen oo ku dhawaaqida JIHAADKA ka dhigeen caga jugleyn siyaasadeed oo boos riixasho ah ama afka ku eg JIHAAD-ka ka dhigan dhawaaq ay siyaasad ahaan u adeegsadaan, maxaa yeelay aayaadka Alle sidaas looma sameyn, mana aha inaad isaga dhawaaqdo wax aadan sameyneynin,

I for one will laugh a good laugh and will watch the civilian support garnered in the name of Islam to wake up and open their eyes to the dirty politics that has too much to lose by actually fighting! The meaning of Jihad has been made a mockery in Somalia for a long time to come and I believe this single factor, more then Ethiopian troops, will lead to a disintegration between the real and the opportunistic members/backers of the ICU before a general diverging between the populace and the ICU even takes place at first.

Kashafa- That you claimed to have won/lost the argument highlights my designation you don't say? And your dad is right! Wiil laba iyo toban jiro, haduu lali ahaan waayo marti layl dhexa timi, haduu u liicin waayo raganimo ludayd kuma maqnee, liicyayey i ceersha! Alle-ubaahnow Qof walba dantiisuu ka fakirayaa. Nin jacayl iyo naxariis kuu haya, hoygaadu ma keeni lahayn dabku!

I will dismiss that as the juvenile in you.

Kashafa- Arguing with you back and forth will not be how I spend my time tonight. Alleging I wrote more then applauding the good people of Caabudwaaq isn't saying much either and if it makes you any happy, I did try to get back my original post verbatim but without any success. My position on the topic continues to be appearent and even that will not bring a smile to your face, so what gives? *Edit* Balanbale is south of Caabudwaaq and horizontally located between Guri-Cel and Dhusa Mareb though it is west of Dhusa-Mareb and northwest of Guri-Cel. It is considered it's own distrct.

Originally posted by Kashafa: To help you jog your memory, it went along these lines: "I applaud the people of Cabduwaaq for saving their homes by politically manevuring their way out of war. Instead, Let war happen to those people who are calling for it " Extremely childish of you. If you cannot bring what I wrote verbatim, I would hope you do not then quote me on "remembrance". The second sentence is a complete fabrication.

Believe me Kashafa, you haven't struck any gold. I wrote nothing I have not written before but I thought repeating it might be a little bit redundent. It is not secret the Ethiopians are in Balanbale to strike Guri-El and Dhusa-Mareb. It is also not a secret that some forces planned Caabudwaaq to be the frontline in the war in central Somalia. Originally they were taking the Caabudwaaq hatred of Ethiopia for granted and assumed that reer Caabudwaaq would naturally join them some later point. The independence of Caabudwaaq and environs combined with the political quagmire surrounding the Kismaayo invasion changed all that. They then used divide and conquer based on the Islamic religion to crack the unity and make it easy to enter the city. It is also not a secret that the traditional leaders of the city chose to allow a peaceful entry into the city to stop any clashes from happening while at the same time meeting with the Ethiopians and reaching an agreement with them that would spare their city a fight they had nothing to do with. It is why the Ethiopians then went heavily in Gaalkacyo and Balanbale in, what they plan, to make a north/south sweep from Guri-El to Gelinsoor. Everybody is saving their own skin here. I remember writing this; Originally posted by HornAfrique: quote: The first Somalian town north of the flood-affected areas, Abudwaaq has become a military focal point and potential battleground in the brewing conflict. That was the intention of the ICU when they went into Caabudwaaq, but that is not the case. I know personally that this will not be the case. There is a reason why Caabudwaaq decided not to resist the ICU and why the armed militias who could have clashed with the ICU were sent out of the city and into Ethiopia itself. There is also a reason why Ethiopia decided not to surround Caabudwaaq like a plague of locusts but instead decided to send over a 100 cars through Galdagob into Gaalkacyo and are now presumably just north of Bandiiradley. There is also another reason why they have reinforced to the greatest extent possible those of theirs in Balanbale area sending the ICU into a flight of panic in a bid to also reinforce their men around Guri-Ceel. All this has to do with the reason why the commander of the ICU in central regions, Cago-weyne, left Caabudwaaq in a hurry when he realized their plan to make Caabudwaaq the frontline was not working and is now himself back in Bandiiradley. Let me tell you that there are quite a number of smart people in Caabudwaaq who have absolutely no interest in seeing blood and carnage in their streets as a result of of a fight they neither care about nor support and have no stakes in. Tell me you did not expect them to sit around without working under the scenes? Somalia: The Deyr Delays an Imminent Clash

Muraad- Sababtii cimaamadaha looga banaanbaxay ragey qusayso waad taqaan. Alle- You would call alot of those men "rag baadiyeysan" then!

Radamiir- While reer Caabudwaaq already agreed to the implementation of Sharia Law in their environs, this is more a political stunt to appease those of the ICU supporters who could start conflict if they do not get their way. The reason a Court was built much faster then most areas is because of the power-sharing plan administered by the traditional leaders. This is basically a replacement of the earlier administration including the sub-clan backgrounds. The old man have planned it so that they do not get locally dragged into the conflict between the TFG and ICU. Their reasoning is that acquiescence now will be superseded by an ICU run towards the bush tomorrow, in the central regions, after (what they believe will be) a defeat later around Baidoa and other frontlines that would decide the outcome of the impasse.
