Moqadishu alone has more population then all your clan together. So actually, Moqdishu folks should get have of the seat in TFG Parlement. This could only mean one thing for you Carafaat. Wikipedia thinks Hargeysa, Burco, Boorama iyo Berbera are cities in Somalia. I guess you forget to edit that part out. :D No such a thing as Somaliland according to the Wikipedia link.

Turkey has responded to French genocide allegations with a charge of its own, accusing France of committing genocide during its colonial occupation of Algeria. Turkey's accusation on Friday, comes a day after French legislators voted to outlaw denial of the 1915 Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey, now threatening to cause a huge rift between the two countries. Personalising the standoff, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on live television that the father of French President Nicolas Sarkozy might have direct knowledge about French "massacres" in Algeria where Algerians were "martyred mercilessly" and "en masse". "In Algeria from 1945, an estimated 15 per cent of the population was massacred by the French. This is a genocide. The Algerians were burned en masse in ovens. They were martyred mercilessly," Erdogan said. "If the French President Mr Sarkozy doesn't know about this genocide he should go and ask his father, Paul Sarkozy. "His father served in the French Legion in Algeria in the 1940s. I am sure he would have lots to tell his son about the French massacres in Algeria," the Turkish premier said. 'Never been to Algeria' Sarkozy's father - actually named Pal - told BFM TV the comments were 'completely ridiculous'. "I have never been to Algeria. I've never been beyond Marseille and I was in the foreign legion for just four months," he said. Speaking in Prague where he attended the funeral of former Czech President Vaclav Havel, Nicolas Sarkozy responded calmly to Erdogan's comments. "I respect the convictions of our Turkish friends. It is a great country with a great civilisation, (but) it has to respect our convictions," the president said. Alain Juppe, French foreign minister, described Turkey's reaction as "in all likelihood excessive", but struck a conciliatory tone. "There are many reasons to keep alive a relationship of trust and friendship between France and Turkey," Juppe said, adding that personally he had not been in favour of the vote. Turkish Anger The French bill, which will be debated in the Senate next year, has caused outrage in Turkey, which argues killings took place on all sides during a fierce partisan conflict. Erdogan condemned the bill shortly after the vote, suggesting Sarkozy was angling for ethnic Armenian votes in next year's presidential election. He recalled Ankara's ambassador to France for consultations and cancelled all joint economic, political and military meetings. On Friday, he vowed to take more steps. "We will take gradual measures as long as the current (French) attitude is maintained," he said without elaborating, but added Turkey's stance was not directed at the French people. "The vote in the French parliament has shown how dangerous racism, discrimination and Islamophobia have become in France and Europe." Faced with Sarkozy's open hostility to Turkey's stagnant bid to join the European Union, and backed by a fast-growing economy, Ankara feels it has little to lose in a political fight with Paris. Economic Muscle The country's economy minister weighed in late on Thursday, saying the genocide bill was based on "a crisis of jealousy". "There are nearly 1,000 French capital investors in Turkey. Created on the basis of trust and belief in the Turkish economy, these investments are as secure as our own investments," Zafer Caglayan said in a written statement. "However ... the Turkish people are very sensitive regarding this issue and this cannot be ignored." Largely unaffected by the financial crisis dogging Western European countries, Turkey has been increasingly flexing its economic and political muscle on the world stage. France could experience some diplomatic discomfort and French firms could lose out on lucrative Turkish contracts. "The French were warned. Turkey is showing it won't be pushed around and that Turkey is no longer desperate for EU accession, i.e. it has other options," said Timothy Ash, an economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland. "Arguably Turkey now has far more vibrancy than Western Europe. There is a deep vein of opinion in Turkey that continental European opposition to Turkish EU accession is not based on rational, objective reasoning, but more like old-style stereotypes." France is Turkey's fifth biggest export market and the sixth biggest source of its imports.

Nice way to break from the cycle of the violence. Glad to see Muqdisho is taking a breeze air of entertainment. Keep us updated.

The 4.5 is not good but to amend it is not to open a pandora's box with this lame 'districts' business but to elevate it to 5 and allowing the minorities togather as one unit. There is hardly any other formula that will pass without bringing issues far harder to solve than the ones the 4.5 has resulted in. You guys are overreacting. AT is just saying without 4.5 formula, he's screwed if political power is shared based on districts pre-civil war. He doesn't like "this lame 'districts' business" because it literally puts out of the border. So no he's not arguing against this out of a moral conviction but for his own clannish reasons. But, what he doesn't realize is that PL made the opportunity avail for Somalia to come up with a better system and instead of focusing on solutions, he's pointing clannish accusations for the good of his own clan. It's a good move by PL but removing the 4.5 is not enough. We need a thorough plan on how to solve the clan/land disputes which are the root cause of the never ending civil war.

Zack is complaining about few African troops in Puntland while he has been cheering up for Isreali/Kenyan bombing civilian populated cities. The sheer hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Man this guy is dead hilarious.

Hillarious. Lowes Customer Care Line.

Noor came close this primary election but in the end, he lost to a democrat so still a win win. Hopefully Noor will get it next time. Somalis will need to stand behind the winner so she beats the republican candidate come January. Good to see the mayor Ryback and Sadiiq in the clip. Though Somalis reside in this precinct largely, they are actually scattered around all over the metropolitan area.

Blame it on frivolous lawsuits. If those chairs don't fit, you're not supposed to be eating them food.

So they track the user's private data by default and sell it to the highest bidder unless the user opts out? In other words, it is the user's fault for not opting out though they were never made aware. Time for congress to enact a Do-Not-Track National Registry law. Kind like the do not call registry for the telemarketers. I am glad Al Franken is making the right calls and demanding answers.

Carafaat: Everything except is-qarxis. Is this even a serious question. They are Somali in the sense they successfully removed isbaaro, dagaal-ooge, bililiqo, dhac, dil, gumaad qabiil and bring a little peace to the areas they control. Yes they do many other horrible things but no other Somali or foreigner did that. I am one of their worst critic but I will admit the little they accomplished for the Somali populace ravaged by war for two freaking decades.

Where is the social services when you need them? That child needs a better home.
