This is neither here nor there.

^^It's already in the works, mate. On a more serious note, I can think of more useful things to do with Somalia's meagre resources.

Breathtaking work of art.

I know you believe in the healing qualities of oily fish but laughter is the best medicine. I'll let that slide... If Lassie has already said he doesn't think the USC members were suitable for the post of PM and his choice came from outside the 275 MP's, what make them suitable for the other cabinet posts? In my view, the goal is not to form a perfect and highly efficient executive but rather to have it be inclusive of those that would otherwise be a hindrance. The most important aspect is that it be effect inside Somalia, and in the capital in particular.

I'm still holding out for Cawad, but otherwise Hashi would do it. Jamu, I suggest you not concern yourself with 'chaotic' Puntland. Nor should you confuse yourself with our strange form of governance.

How can we compare peaceful nations(US/UK), with Somalia which is ruled by dozens of warlords and is attempting to pull itself out of civil war? I find it even more absurd how others can speak of bureaucratic 'efficiency', looking at the state we find ourselves in. Speak to me of 'efficiency', once there are no more Somalis dying due to conflict, children are full and attending school, and some semblence of peace, stability and nationhood have been restored. It is better to have one more minister than one more obstacle. Let us speak of ideals once we have an ideal country. Until then let us be realistic and give this administration a chance.

Alright then, lets have another go of it shall we!

Horn, Why waste your time?

^^Yes, one must defend the great family name.

Perhaps it is a tad different for me since I was born and bred in the NorthEast; there is no question of where I hope to grow old. My advice would be to go where you feel safe, secure, and most at home.

^^I hadn't a clue we had such royalty amongst us.

And I agree there should be more done by the local authorities and NGO's concerning the plight of those suffering the affects of the recent floods. I hope the recent visit by the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland will be of some good. And nice photos. One thing I can tell you is the misguided perception of people whom have never seen north east Somalia, that Pland is Sahara junior is just as phony as the perceptions that Sland is a free, democratic state or that Mogadishu is the economic walhalla of east Africa. Muad, I remember visiting relatives in Dhahar when I was very young; I always was interested in this city and it's history. And yes, they do have some of the best horses as well. ORGILAQE, I hope you can post those photos of Budunbuto iyo Biciidlasaar. Wiilo, Your welcome mate. Just wanted to post a few photos as not many folks have seen this area of Somalia.

Originally posted by wind.talker: This is all mighty and dandy but where's the evidence..? The beauty of the Net is that any moron can make a webpage and announce all his conspiracy theories. Ethiopia's unnatural interest in Somali political affairs isn't anything new. But these morons who post coffee shop talk and act like its journalism don't deserve a minute of my valuable time. Neither to the morons who believe such nonsense. Well said.

This area of Puntland was one of the hardest hit by the recent drought and these rains are a welcome relief. InshaAllah, those that have lost homes and livestock will receive assistance and recover. Amiin. Baliga biyo qabadka Degmada Dhahar Dariga oo ay xoolihii daaqayaan Quruxda Deriga dooxada Dhahar Quruxda Dooxada Degmada Dhahar Maamulka Degmada Dhahar iyo Maamule kuxigeenka Imaamu Nawawi xubin ka tirsan PSA Net oo kulan ku qaadanaya Geed Hoostii Midig Maamule kuxigeenka Iskoolka Imaamu Nawawi iyo Mas,uul ka socda Ururka PSA Network Dugsiga Hoose Dhexe ee Degmada Dhahar Xarunta Internetka ee Dhahar

What I do not understand is why it is so costly to build a road in Somalia? Materials and labour seems inexpensive, is it then the foreign know-how? Is it the local companies that are asking for exsorbatant amounts? Why is it that local roads in towns/cities can be constructed? And how is it that the road from Garacad iyo Gaalkacyo is still on-going?

This court/prosecutor are clearly incapable of carrying out justice in a fair, balanced and efficient manner; there is far too much incompetence and political interference on display. What I fail to understand is why African Rights calls for the release of their colleagues, yet not for the defenseless child who has been through so much these past few months in that same prison. Asking for this farcical 'trial' to continue is beyond belief and something no one should accept.

Very good news saaxib. There must be a great deal of behind the scenes work being done; let us hope these talks bear fruit.

You can find it on Hiiraan Online music section, at the bottom. Or you can download from here the new one by Cabdijabaar Khaliiji. I wasn't aware that song was originally by Cali Jareere and thanks for the link.

If I am not mistaken this is the first positive article you've posted. Good to see you've finally come around. Welcome on board, mate.

why did you get rid of Hobyonet sxb Is this true... Highly unlikely, the entire article seems a joke. does Abdulahi Yusuf have to right to order an arrest No. of the man who is virtually defending Sool I think you are forgetting who you are talking about...

Many songs by Cabdijibaar Al khaliiji, especially "Alam Dheh", "Mahadsan", and "Saynab"...if anyone knows where to find his songs online, let me know. And I also like Magool's "Maanta maanta". and this "Deen Laayah"(sp?). Although I'm not sure who sings it.
