It is getting bloodier by the day. Wicitaanaan ku waashay aan wacaayo reerkii never knowing as soon as I hang up it might be their last. The Xabashis notified selected neighbourhoods people to give up their homes so their troops can use them as a base and a look-out.

As for the second part of the question, are you again deluding yourself? Are we re-inacting the scene of victory yet again? Xoogsade, the end for your little group is nigh, I am sympathetic to to you, but Culusow. Abdiqasin, Gooley, Daylaf, Galaal, and their little puppets are finished.. I am sad all these people have to die to end their little daydream.. But the era of scrapmerchants, charcoal traders and clown courts are over... I didn't think you were appointed to any position but thought you were ill saxib. SOL looked normal for a while and I thought something was amiss. You are the key ingredient for the usual fireworks on the site. You don't sound sad at all lol. The word sounds hollow when you use it.

LOL, Faarax-brown, that is as rational as Pi gets. He was depressed by Duke's absence obviously. Waana xaasid calling the brother balanced. Pi, why don't you call yourself Luggooyo?

JJ-MAHAD, People are united if we consider the sentiments expressed by the majority of somalis and ignore people like Duke and Khalaf, or TFG spokespersons in muqdisho like Jeelle. I myself thought the war will be left to few subclans in Xamar but found out that there are more and more somalis joining them, including the same TFG militias who were supposed to fight on behalf of their paymaster. As to your second question, more unity can be achieved to make this war a somali war, an islamic war, and a war for liberating Muqdisho from Zenawi's hold on it. As long as the leaders of the opposition avoid hateful comments towards other clans, avoid wrongly equating all puntlanders to A/Y and cronies, and they show nobility in how they deal with their fellow somalis fighting against them, people will support the war against the Ethiopain Army. Many won't care what some misguided anti-tfg person says over the airwaves and will support the war against the Xabahis anyway. Khalaf, It is difficult to foretell what the future holds for the TFG. The longer the war drags on, the dimmer their chances of surivial. They have screwed up big time and if you listened to bbc today, Geeddi was actually downplaying the death of so many innocents in the hands of the Xabashis.

Khalaf, you should still side with your fellow somalis for now and later support your Uncle's presidency when it is between somali clans deciding their future together. That way, you get to satisfy your clanist leaning and share victory with your kinsmen fighting the Xabashis. Where is your blood connection to Somalis being slaughtered? In times of war between somalis and Xabashis, you set aside your bias agaisnt your somali foes.

Welcome back bro I thought you were unable to move a finger and bed ridden. Any last words on your Uncle A/Y's whereabouts? Odaga maa Gaalkacyo loo duuliyo Xamar waa u dhammaataye?

Inshallah bro

Superfluous, warkiisa iska illoow saxib, add him to your ignore list. Waad sharfeesaa haddaa maalaaycnigiisa ka jawaabtid.

Superfluous, Let us hope so saxib.

Runtaa waaye saaxib, that is for sure.

Thanks Gureey, How long can people last is what I ask saxib? So far, the majority of somalis fighting the Xabashis are of one clan with few other somalis. My worries is that they won't last too long if the Xabashis continue the indiscriminate shelling and killing of civilians. The fighter jets are troubling addition to the equation as well. Ilaahaa u Maqan, it is getting bloodier. People survived in a more sophisticated and deadlier war before and I hope they come out of this one more favourably.

^ LOL, must you expose the young man this early?

Hi Bro, I haven't watched the clip nor do I intend to, however, for every act of savagery perpetrated against these Xabashi troops, there is equal savagery meted on innocent somalis in Muqdisho uncaptured by the Camera. We may see the gruesome dead of somalis in the coming days but the Xabashis left nothing in their arsenal to inflict pain on many parts of Muqdisho according to the latest news coming from Xamar. And it is not over yet. America might join if Ethiopia suffers and soon we may end up watching Apache Helicopters participating in the ogre of Somali killing. It would have been better if there were responsible people preventing the crowd from defiling the corpses most certainly. Btw, Maa boombalahaaga isaga cayaartid kollay ciyaalaa tahay waa ogahay anigee? Ama akhriso buugaagta iskuulka, siyaasadda u dhaaf odayasha xaafadiina joogo.

Waddankii waa la qaatay. Sold by warlords and insecure men like Cade Muse.

Fresh Ethiopian troops arrive in central Somalia 29 Mar 29, 2007 - 2:38:15 PM GALKAYO, Somalia Mar 29 (Garowe Online) - Hundreds of Ethiopian soldiers crossed over the common border and entered Somalia overnight Thursday, according to sources in Galkayo. The soldiers, estimated to number 500-strong with armored vehicles, were stationed in the outskirts of Galkayo, the capital of Mudug region in central Somalia. Reliable sources in Galkayo told Garowe Online on the condition of anonymity that the Ethiopian troops were heading for the northern Somali city of Bossaso, a bustling port town that serves as Puntland’s economic hub. There was no reason given for the arrival of fresh Ethiopian troops, even as that country’s leader, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, pledged to withdraw his remaining troops from Somalia. At least 30 people died in Mogadishu on Thursday when Ethiopian troops forcefully entered insurgent strongholds in attempts to disarm the capital’s inhabitants. [ Full story] Puntland declared itself an autonomous part of Somalia in 1998 and has enjoyed relative stability since. The region’s vice president, Hassan Dahir Afqura, overturned yesterday’s decision by Interior Minister Ahmed Abdi Habsade to fire the Puntland police commander, Col. Said “Karama” Ali. [ Full story] Col. Karama was accused of releasing a convicted felon without legal approval, according to a decree issued by the Interior Ministry. Sent south Puntland authorities deported more than 200 Somali people who hail for the southern regions of the country on Thursday, local sources said. Government sources in Galkayo confirmed that 217 southerners, including women and children, were transported to the southern part of town by Puntland police and released. These people were originally detained last week in the region’s capital, Garowe. Police officials said the individuals were arrested on suspicion of criminal involvement or attempting to be smuggled out to the Middle East. Our correspondent in Garowe who visited the detainees last week reported that they looked weary and tired after the long trek from the southern regions to Puntland. While in jail, the detainees were visited by UN officials, businesspeople and locals who were concerned about unsatisfactory conditions at the jail. Source: Garowe Online

Colaadooda sidaas uma sii foga warna iskama maqlaan. Qof kasto qabiilaa madaxa ka galay. And the two gentlemen sound alike, the same accent and funny enough they have same last name. Btw, Do you think Diiriye from Puntland will follow up and visit Muqdisho? I confuse Dhubad with Dabshid and a third character i can't recall, your names are so close.

Originally posted by Dabshid: This site is out of control, this is barbaric,plse remove the pics! He could have sufficed his barbarism by posting the links.

Economist, Though what we see is utterly wrong, your objective in posting the pics is questionable. Anyway, despite the savagery, the fight must go on to liberate Muqdisho from Xabashis.

He could be a muslim or a smart soldier who planned to solicit kindness in the possibility of a capture by showing the Tusbax on his neck as a sign of faith. A third possibility may be the usage of Tusbax being a religious practice in the Orthodox denomination.

I quote: "Waxa na Dhibahaya waa in la yiraahdo Ethiopia hanaga Baxdo" says the sage from Puntland. And he goes on to say "He will defend Ethiopia". There is no shame in some mentalities. He would have faired better in my judgement if he didn't express such low opinions. He was too emotional as well. Not a good thing in public discourse where millions will listen to you.

Puntlanders in their majority are as powerless to stop this as the rest of somalis bro, we should never bad mouth them. Kuwooda dhunsan ilaahay hasoo hanuuniyo, intooda wanaagsana ilaahay ha xafido.

^ LOL

Let us hope Ethiopians learn a lesson in Muqdisho. May Allah grant Somalis victory
