^Obama wasn't looking as strong and admirable as he looked during the early days of his compaign... Made many slips and silly jabs in the past few weeks alone, his inexperience is coming to light as the days drag on, but I hope a good win for the man, after all he's a Brotha

Honestly my friend you need to reveiw and double check what you say before you say it, there are many people readers on this board most of them silent and could kids included... Have some respect for yourself

^He will never Saaxib, all he sees is his self narrow minded view..

^I am not a victim neither are you, we are simply commentators the victims that have suffered in the past or are still suffering stay back home, stop beating the bushes man, you were asked a simple question, what is the difference between the crimes and rape of a Somali against another Somali in a mosque and that of a Somali by Ethiopia. Morality, Islaanimo iyo qabiilism wax lagaama waydiin. You are going in circles and using morality and religion so loose, it's the likes of you Xoogsade that need to start and practise what they breach. Full of hypicritical people... Im in all honest against the innocent murder and rape... Full stop.

^LOol@ other side kulahaa Saaxib, adiga isku dirka miyaad kashaqaysaana? Idinku hasocotadaan kaheshaan

Not a Qabiil name, how silly question, which qabiil would be called Janja!

Those suffered rape and murder in the early nineties were mostly clans from Puntland and other areas, Xoogsade cares less about that, the reason why he's ignoring the significance of that issue and taking you less serious.

They are General Morgan's former Militia, all of his militias in the Jubba split into two, most of them joined the TFG while those left formed this Janjawiid wing... they are based in a place called Qandal just outside Kismayo and roam around the Lower and Middle Jubba.

^Aaway islaanimadaadi adiga? Halkan qabiil ee uu kadhashay Abdulahi Yusuf oo aad kusheegtay inay meesha kushirayaan maxaa kutusay adiga? Maxaa un iyaga kudhaba dhigay har iyo habeen? Islaanimo kulahaa, LOol... dadkoo dhan waa Muslin balse adigu kaliyaa ayaa Muslin isla ah.

^Taasu Engiiriguu ahaa ee waad layara badalay! Haye bal soo tabi siduu udhacay, Kolay SL buu kibirika ku bartayee

^No, like you said only actions matters then why have to have a song for any nation... Saaxib a Somali Wadani Song is important whether we act upon what we say or not matters less... It's a form of one's identity, a display of nationhood and part of its culture, you don't want all of that, no wonder you viciously fighting against just a Song, Wadani Song..

Somali Troops Storm Hijacked Ship (AP) Somali forces rescued a hijacked ship carrying food to this desperately poor country, as a top security official accused U.S. troops stationed off the lawless coast of failing to combat growing piracy. Seven suspected pirates were arrested and three others wounded in Tuesday's raid on the Dubai-flagged al-Khaleej, which had been seized Monday, said Abdullahi Said Samatar, security affairs minister in Somalia's semiautonomous Puntland region. "It is sad that the American forces off the coast of Somalia are here for fun and are not combatting the pirates," Samatar told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Puntland, near the spot where the boat was seized. The U.S. Navy has led international patrols to combat piracy along Somalia's 1,880-mile coast, which is the longest in Africa and near key shipping routes connecting the Red Sea with the Indian Ocean. Wracked by more than a decade of violence and anarchy, Somalia does not have a navy, and a transitional government formed in 2004 with U.N. help has struggled to assert control. A spokesman for the transitional government, Abdi Hagi Gobdon, welcomed French and U.S. efforts to combat piracy and guard the country's coastline. The transitional government "is not in position to safeguard the country's waters," he told the AP on Tuesday. "Therefore, Somalia welcomes and encourages the initiative of the U.S. and France to establish international forces to combat pirates along the Somali coastline." It was not immediately clear how many people were on board the al-Khaleej, which originated from the United Arab Emirates and was carrying food bound for Somalia, Samatar said. Authorities did not announce that the ship had been seized until after security forces had stormed it and rescued the hostages. The U.S. and France are drafting a U.N. resolution that would allow countries to chase and arrest pirates off Somalia's coast, responding to a spate of attacks, including this week's hijacking of a Spanish tuna boat. France's U.N. ambassador, Jean-Maurice Ripert, said the U.N. resolution would authorize foreign governments to pursue pirate vessels into territorial waters, make arrests and prosecute suspects. "We want to do it fast, but it could take one or two weeks because it has to be by consensus - it's not confrontational," he told the AP. Countries in the region are also deeply concerned. Last week, 13 nations from the Western Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden and Red Sea agreed to a draft proposal that calls for sharing and reporting information on piracy, stopping ships that are involved in piracy and prosecuting those involved. Chris Trelawny, head of security at the U.N.'s International Maritime Organization, which organized the meeting, said the solution to Somalia's piracy problem is "not at sea. It is the restoration of law and order in that country." The draft, if signed by each country, will go to the IMO for implementation. There was no immediate timeframe. The push by key U.N. Security Council nations to tackle the issue follows an alarming increase in piracy by well-armed bandits, prompting international demands for better protection of the world's shipping lanes. Pirates using rocket-propelled grenades hijacked a Spanish tuna boat Sunday off Somalia's coast. A day later, pirates fired on a Japanese oil tanker, unleashing hundreds of gallons of fuel into the Gulf of Aden, the body of water between Somalia's north and the southern coast of the Mideast country of Yemen. On April 4, Somali pirates hijacked a French luxury yacht in the Gulf of Aden. A French military helicopter later captured six suspected pirates who are facing preliminary charges in France after the yacht's crew was released April 11. The father of one captive on board the 250-foot Spanish tuna boat, called the Playa de Bakio, told a radio station that the 26 crew members were being treated well, though the hijackers have stolen some personal items from their cabins. The hijackers also appear to have military training, said Jose Mari Arana, who spoke to Radio Euskadi Monday after speaking to his son by cell phone. "They say a commander is going to come to negotiate," Arana said. The fishing boat is now anchored just off Somalia's coast, the Spanish government said in a statement. An official in Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's office said he could not confirm a statement by the wife of the boat's skipper that the crew has been taken ashore. The International Maritime Bureau says piracy is on the rise, with seafarers suffering 49 attacks between January and March - up 20 percent from the period last year. Nigeria ranked as the No. 1 trouble spot. India and the Gulf of Aden tied for second, with each reporting five incidents. Nearly two dozen piracy incidents were recorded off of Somalia since January 2007, according to Andrew Mwangura of the Kenya-based Seafarers Assistance Program.

Somali regional forces rescue hijacked UAE vessel: official 22 hours ago MOGADISHU (AFP) — Somali regional forces on Tuesday rescued a hijacked cargo vessel and arrested seven pirates after a clash in the Gulf of Aden, an official said. Three pirates and a soldier from the semi-autonomous Puntland region were wounded in the incident, a day after the Al-Khaleech was hijacked as it sailed from United Arab Emirates to the Puntland port town of Bosasso. "We are very pleased that our forces secured the boat and its crew," said Puntland Seaports Minister Abdisamed Yusuf Abwan, who added that none of the more than 10 crew on the cargo ship were wounded. The UAE-owned vessel, contracted by a Somali trader to transport merchandise, was seized on Monday about 100 nautical miles from Basasso, said Bile Mohamoud Qabowsade, an advisor for the Puntland president. Somalia has had no effective central government for more than 17 years, and its waters are considered to be among the most dangerous for shipping in the world. On Monday, pirates holding 26 crew members on a Spanish fishing boat off the Somali coast meanwhile demanded a ransom for their release, a day after storming the vessel armed with grenade launchers. A Spanish naval frigate was heading from the Red Sea to the area of the seizure off east Africa, according to a government source. Also on Monday, a Japanese oil tanker was damaged and then chased by heavily armed pirates off the coasts of Somalia and Yemen, officials and crew members said. No one was hurt. Six Somalis have meanwhile been charged by a court in the French capital Paris for taking the crew of a French luxury yacht hostage for a week off Somalia earlier this month. French special forces captured the accused, and seized 200,000 dollars (125,000 euros) of suspected ransom money, after freeing the yacht's crew of 30 on April 11. Last year more than 25 ships were seized by pirates in Somali coastal waters, despite US navy patrols. The International Maritime Bureau advises merchant ships to stay at least 200 nautical miles from the Somali coast.

In my corner we say it DABUUR Saaxib, not DU but DA, you can't get it righ, can you? You always love to sound wrong and that's why they call you Qaldaamiin

Waaar waaxay dee, Dabuur badiyaa waligaa miyaad aragtay?

^If that's the case and if only what matters is action then why countries have Wadani Songs in all over the world...

^LOol, like I said Norf waa Dabuur

Puntland forces are doing a great job, this pirates will learn their lesson, it's not easy to save gourd 300 klm long coast, the pirate gangs are far too many and Puntland has no enough resources to combat them adequetly, they need training and help from the outside.

^Loooooool @ NG all alone, and the Arsenal win arab commentator... Anticipation and more anticipation. NG, Daboor Norf is I heard on Liverpool's side, what do u expect, it ain't looking glamarous I tell ya..
