^I thought your earlier argument was don't curse the man as he may have died a secret Muslim and now you are saying his death won't yield any positive change for Somalis. So which one should I address first?

^No the question is why are you trying to silence his critics under religious disguise? Why are you diverting the habaar from Meles to Mengistu?

Who are WE to say "Rot in hell" to so and so, especially Meles Zenawi who has had many interactions and encounters to Muslims of different Ethiopian ethnic groups? Not only do you believe Meles was a secret Muslim and died Muslim secretly but you also believe he helped greatly Somalis by giving them a state and gave Muslims freedom of religion? Yet you claim you don't support him? Waryaa stop being a fake here. Say who you really are.

^Say may the dictator Meles burn in hell, ameen. Imagine the political struggle and the power shift Ethiopia to witness. I hope his victims including the Somali region see better days ahead.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has died at the age of 57, state media say, after weeks of speculation about his health. Mr Meles was admitted to hospital in July. The nature of his condition has not been made public. Speculation about his health began when he missed an African Union summit in Addis Ababa earlier last month. Mr Meles took power as the leader of rebels that ousted communist leader Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1991. Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, who is also Ethiopia's foreign minister, will be acting head of government, state television said. "Even if Ethiopia has been badly affected for missing its great leader, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi initiated fundamental policies and strategies which will be further strengthened," the TV said. Three weeks ago, a government spokesman told the BBC that Mr Meles was in "a good condition and recuperating", and dismissed reports he was critically ill. The spokesman, Bereket Simon, declined to give any details about Mr Meles' whereabouts or what he is suffering from. At the time, there were reports that Mr Meles was in hospital in Belgium, suffering from a stomach complaint. BBC News

^I am sure clan plays a role on how power is shared among clans in Puntland or Somaliland or Gal Mudug or Ximan & Xeeb or Azania or any other Somali administration existed in the civilian or military rule before the civil war. Clan has been an integral part of Somalia. I don't understand how the current 4.5 formula could be equated to the power sharing along clan lines existed in Somali tradition.

^Why are you assuming he hasn't helped her unlike you condemning him for bring awareness? Mo has a moral obligation to help out his family if this is true.

^I don't think PL has 4.5 system for choosing leadership. But I know Faroole spoke against 4.5 and so did many other Somalis.

^Now you must expect me to let you distort the record Sxb what you did wasn't dhaliil. Dhaliil has a different meaning than what you did. And now you are attempting here to distort your earlier distortion. Waxaasaa lagaa dhahaa indha-adeeg. Again who was this topic about? Shariif or Cabdiweli my good friend Let's not introduce another distortion here please

What a milestone. The secessionists can learn a thing or two from Azania. In such a short time, look at what Azania achieved. Congrats to Aznaians. Horta ma Azanians baa mise Azanis, mise Azanese. Somalilanders take note.

So not only do you know that I admire Cabdiweli deeply in my heart but you also know I am secretive about it and I don't write about it here. If you're that good about reading what is inside the hearts, perhaps you can help Somalia select good hearted people to lead the country. :D

Is Khaatumo rejecting Saado representing them in Moqdisho because of her sex, or political view, policy, or partnership or close to Faroole or Puntland or is that they had better candidates more qualified and deserving to represent the state? I didn't read all replies. I think a good question is why is Somalia told to dedicate 30% of its parliament seats to women. Who or what country suggested this number and under what criteria did this number come up? Do women make up about 30% of the population in Somalia? Why not 50%, 40% 20% or 10%? I am trying to understand the logic behind this argument. What IGAD country or countries that are involved in Somali politics have 30% women representatives in their parliament? Does Kenya, Ethiopia, Eriteria, Uganda, Sudan, Djibuti, UK, USA, Turkey have 30% women in their parliament?

lol@waan kuu maahmaahaa. In those three lines you mentioned shaqadeyda, diinteyda iyo sanadka 2012, no clue how all those related to me or Shariif advocating for warlordism. Balse iga qalee baan u fahmay. My friend I can't stand when some of us distort others and link them up to clanism but when it's done to them, they go crazy and all of a sudden wake up from heavy sleep. I am not a fan of Cabdiweli or Shariif or Faroole at all but that doesn't mean I won't comment when others make them out of what they are not.

Many of you see demons and freak out whenever you hear Faroole. More power to him hadaaba saan uga kaadineysaan.

If his opinions were not real they would actually make for an amusing sketch. You have it wrong my friend. This man has little regard for knowledge let alone having a knowledge. This is beyond crazy xamaasad. This man is creating a religious facade for his takfiiri movement to kill as many of their political opponents as they can get away with. This is another ploy to making xalaal for Ali Dheere to blow up little school kids and declare them cadduwulaah. For him and AS, no room for difference of understanding of deen, difference of religious opinion, difference of religious approach but all about right vs wrong, Muslim vs gaal, us the mujaahidiin against gaalo. Sheikh. Umal wuxuu ku eedeeyay inay abuuraan waxaan jirin si ay u xalaaleystaan daadinta dhiigga Muslimiinta. Ninka dhahaya qof Muslim ah waa gaal, natenyahu kama sokeeyo, hana lala aaso. There is a fundamental principal difference between this man than any other Somali or Muslim scholar.

Cali Mahdi, Max'ed Dheere, Yalaxoow kuma jiraan Xamar warlords miyaa? I am here to count them all regardless of clan.

He's using the same clan card he used to kill for in the past. Nothing changed. His argument is I was fighting in the civil war to protect my clan and now my clan is getting robbed of their representation in the parliament. Has anyone asked these warlords why is it that they believe they are entitled and privileged to present their respective clan? I can't believe this man is opening the door for someone to take him up on that and take him to court for all the crimes committed against Somalis. I hope the next chapter of his life will be in the court room.

When Atheists failed to grasp the meaning of the message, they attack the messenger. Nice work gaalo-raacyo.
