Sakariya Waal oo Minnesota ku wareeray miyaa maanta leh dadbaan iga amar qaata iyo ciidan baan hogaaminayaa. It's really shame that he has to drag his sub-clan into this just cause some guy lost a position/contract which wasn't even in the hand of PL admin to begin with. The UAE has cancelled the said contract with Saracen/PDG and has absolutely nothing to do with political grievances this guy suffer from. He was known in the Minneapolis fadi-kudirir for this type of shenanigans. What I don't get is that why wail and whine when you know you ain't going to walk the walk. He's going to run back to MN when things get tough so why cause death to innocent people. As for the situation in Bosaso as it stands now, Yulux guy with his militia are at the outskirt of the city and control nothing as far as important locations are concern, be it Port or Airport. His clan elders are trying to bring his little endeavor to an end before things get serious. The problem is that an officer was killed and 6 other soldiers wounded in yesterday's attack. Deni and the PL's security want to take action hence why Sakariya is rattling, but PL Isims are still trying to end the situation peacefully. We will know which way the wind will blow by tomorrow.

Isn't this more expensive for Kenya itself? Why can't they do the same security check at Nairobi? Logistically and financially this move makes no sense.

Gooni, Miraha kacaanku ka tegay waa inta hadda taalla, dil iyo burbur. Intuu qabtay waxaa ka daran inta dhib ah oo uu gaystay, laakiin isku xiiqin maayo saa adaan ku ogahay oo qof si objective ah wax u qiimayn kara ma tihid'e. Kacaan haddii wax laga sheegana si personal ah baad u qaadataa si in reerka ama odaygii AUN wax laga sheegayo. Runtu waxay tahay maanta Soomaliya ka iskuulo badan, jaamacaddo badan, ka aqoon iyo dhaqaale badan tii Kacaanka. Nabad la'aan iyo inay jirto iyo dowlad xumo cid isku haysata ma laha, laakiin dadka Soomaalidaa maanta in general are socially more prosperous than the era of the dictatorship. Wiilka 15-ka jirka ma fahmin meel aad u waddo sheekadiisa. Malaha adaa ka af-laxay iskuulkii seeraalaha ee Xamar laguu keenay markii geella lagaa soo kaxeeyay. Taas waa kaftan! Reerku geel ma laha, laakiin mid dugsi raba haddaan arko ama maqlo waan ku qorayaa iskuul insha Allah. Ramadan Kareem

Goodax Barre and the federal government want to control the little education funding given to the local state from foreign donors, hence why they were trying to push this national exam fiasco. Education should be local as Tillamook said above and if federal government wants to improve things, just give money to the states without imposing a direct rule on them. As for US Federal government involvement into country's education, that's also not true. The local counties have that responsibility for all affairs of their local district schools, be it curricula, funding, codes, and etc. They can teach what they want or leave out what don't- as long as it doesn't cross certain guidelines (person's civil rights, hate, and etc). The only times Federal or state intervenes school district is when schools are failing and the states asks for Federal funding and in this case Federal DOE takes over the school/s. Saaxiibkeen gooni Kacaankii buu wali ka sabri la'yahay oo wuxuusan ogayn in maanta Soomaali waxbarashadu inta badan ay ka tayo iyo tiro wanaagsan tahay tii Kacaanka. Maanta meel Soomaaliya ku taal oo heer tuula ah oo iskuul ku ool ma jirto. Marka yaan laga qasin riyaddii kacaanka ayaa wali u socota xaajiga.

I thought once she apologized she would settle this issue and leave it there, but her "Somali sal fudeyd" kept her going. Now not did she not get any support from the Dems after W.V republican attack, but now her own Democratic party will take floor action to confront her on her latest Israel (allegiance to a foreign country) comment. This is bad for her as her own party now labeling her (indirectly) as an anti-Semite. Republicans want the democrats to go further and strip of her seat on the Foreign Affair Committee. I am still baffled by what's Ilhan's end game or what she wants to get from this losing battle. Apart from getting cheers from kids on the left who don't even vote when it comes to real issues, what else is there for her in fight. Here is the article on the resolution: House Dems will take floor action to confront Omar’s latest Israel comments - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM The freshman Democrat is clashing with senior lawmakers who view her remarks as anti-Semitic.

Markay shaqada waayaan ama warlord-nimada ka fariistaan bay Soomaalidu ha la icafiyo la fariistaan. There should be some accountability don't you think? This guy and the likes of him should be held accountable for what they have done. Waxaan oran lahaa inta uu xanuunka uu qabo daawo u raadsado he should then spend couple of years in jail. Tuugada kale ee siyaasadda u soo gala inay xoolaha ummadda dhacaan (be it Gaas or the rest of cartels in Somalia) tusaale ha u noqoto. Inta laakiin aan praises ku wadno dad wax dhacay horimar gaari mayno.

Tallaabo, thanks for knowledge you shared with us and the clarification of your veiws on this issue. You are always calm and very reasonable person specially when dealing with controversial topics such as this and the clannish ridden discussions of SOL.

If I am not wrong, our brother Tallaabo justified men marrying each other and supported the gay Iman. I think Tallaabo is a true moderate Muslim That's just dig on the brother! Personally I don't give a hoot who leaves what religion or who bangs what so long as they're adults and don't force their beliefs and lifestyle on others. As for the topic at hand, I hope this girl's action opens the flood gate and let them Arab makhabiyas flee like scorn bees. Their government's petrodollar and their fat rich men with twisted Wahhabi ideology have wrecked the lives of millions of Muslims and now the karma is coming back to bite them in the rear.

Marka laga reebo 2da nin ee reer Bay iyo Bakool inta tagtay waxaa looga badiyay doorasho oo ay aqbaleen natiijadeedii. Madoobana haddii uu doorasha galo oo looga guulaysto waxay ila tahay iska inuu aqbali doono. Ma fahmin jubilation-ka aad ku jirtid boowe!

I guess inay ka wadaan inuu Xamar ku dhigtay dugsiyada hoose iyo dhexe. Sometimes people who write this stuff don't even consult with the person they're writing about and often make up stories. Anyway, congrats to the new president and hope he fights corruption and safeguard the state institutions.

I have a feeling he's one of those Qurbajoog crew who frequent Mogadishu cafes with their shiny laptops and entertain each other with make-believe stories of how this clueless SFG will reign over Somali peninsula in due time.

I am still trying to understand who are "we" you speak off? Most Somalis are content with these "pathetic tribal admins" in which the SFG is part and parcel of it. Otherwise they wouldn't exist. I am not sure which universe you live in, but these federal states and SFG are dameer iyo 2diisa dhagood. The SFG is made of Somalis from Federal Republic of Somalia, unless you're speaking of another Somalia that's alien to me. And while you at it, do tell those mighty ARMY of yours to at least flash out the AS ragtags from South Somalia.

Dalmarow, who are the "we" you speak off in Mogadisho that can/will control any Somali territory outside of villa Somalia? And the funny thing is that you consider the rest of Somalia (outside of Mogadishu) as disgruntled and treasonous clan states and yet you want people to take you serious. If 30 years of civil war and mayhem didn't teach a thing, I guess nothing will humble you. So keep the bravado and the empty threats.

I don't get this Faarax Macalin guy walahi. The government in which he was once part of and if I am not wrong he's still a member of Kenyan parliament, that government bombs the sht out of Somali towns on daily basis, kills and maims innocent Somalis, and to add salt on wound tried and still trying to annex part of Somalia-yet this dude never come against that. In fact he often justifies Kenyan incursions in the name of fighting AS.

Nothing new, Waraabe is been Waraabe here. Every now and then he has to throw some meat to the media to stay relevant politically speaking in his neck of the wood. There are young and rising Turks on the opposition camps and the old guards including this lad would soon be things of the past-that I think is what rattles the likes of Faisal more than Caarre or the conflict in Sool.

Three Somalis in MN have won last night in their respective primaries. And it seems they'll win in November as their districts are quite blue.

Not sure why you all feel shocked about this kid when sadly there are millions of Somalis who feel and harbor the same hatred towards their fellow Somalis..

Somalis and their emotional outbursts are at display here. If Jubaland is one city state, what would SFG be? Another one city federal government, NO? Neither JL nor SFG in Mogadishu have any meaningful power to dictate one another as they are both toothless incompetent administrations each controlling one city and few surrounding towns here and there. So why don't we come up with a solution where these Federal admins (including SFG) and their toothless leaders come together and save this broken nation instead of calling the dismantling of the little system that's in place. There's no going back to authoritarian one man's rule as some of you yawning for, and there's certainly no one with the power to forcefully remove any leader, so let's all come down from the high horses we're riding and for once drop this destruction tendency to every freaking little issue out there.

Germans were over hyped team playing same tactics of 2014 WC with 7 players from that winning team. Teams quickly adopted their system and were easily defended specially when they playing against fast paced players like Mexico. Plus they had no real strikers and expect to win matches by simply out passing their opponents. The young Sane may or may not have made a difference, but at least he would have been fun to watch if he was brought to the team. As for the rest of the WC teams, Belgium, Brazil, and Croatia seem to have a well balanced teams and will definitely go further. African teams were very disappointing this time around as they showed no rhythm or passion with the exceptions of Morocco (in tough group) and maybe Senegal in their 1st match. Those of you cheering for Mexico I think will be disappointed when Brazil crushes them like an ice cubes. Athleticism may have won them over Germany, but this Brazilian team is well drilled and very balanced. And where Mexico lacks most is their defense-and that's where Brazil will hit them hard.

^There’s EAC, the East African Community in which the countries you named above plus Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania are the make up. These economic organizations are just names and produce nothing tangibles. Will see what this one turns out.

I think the deal was signed this year and they still need to clear some hurdles before the construction starts.

We have to bring this form of Islam back to our lives or Wabahi ideology will consume and kill whatever left of Somali culture and identity. Kudos to these sufis for observing the Mowlid!

I don't support FMG, but I am quite skeptical about these numbers from UNICEF and others. How accurate is this 95% Somali girls being cut?

Arab superiority coupled their prejudice toward Africans and this is the result we get.

This can be done in small scales in every local village/settlement out there in Somalia. We just need the will of the people and little funding and possibilities are endless.
