  1. Azania dhowr infantry unit bey usoo dirtay SOL malaha Tolka must have taken a very long deep hurdo. When was it waagii Ina Jees faught for the control of the port city? Was it in 91 or 92? Now twenty years later, Ghandi is securing for tolka what Jees failed. If Ghandi is genuine, meelo badan baa tolka korantada ka dansan tahay. Start there first. Not a new civil war. Ha lugoyn dhalinta soo koreysa.

  4. The creation of Jubaland/Azania was driven by the need to fight the Al Qaeda-linked militant group, Al Shabab, but it's unclear whether the new region will be able to do that effectively. The country called Somalia contains a host of would-be governments, including the Transitional Federal Government (which claims jurisdiction over Somalia as a whole) and the two semi-autonomous regions of Somaliland and Puntland. Now Somalia has a third major semi-autonomous region: Jubaland, or Azania, whose creation was celebrated yesterday (see here for a map of Jubaland, and here for another, somewhat different political map of all Somalia). Jubaland/Azania now has a president, former Somalia Defence Minister Professor Mohamed Abdi Gandhi, who has said a main goal of his administration will be to defeat al Shabab, Somalia’s Islamic rebel movement. This, Kenya’s Daily Nation reports, is one of the driving goals of the new region’s creation, but Somalia’s neighbors disagree on whether this tactic is a wise one: "The idea to create an autonomous region near the Kenyan border is hinged on the reason that it will prevent the movement of al Shabaab extremists within the region. As the conference ended on Sunday, it was not clear whether the Kenyan Government supported the election but recent WikiLeaks revelations showed that the country supported the creation of an autonomous region near its border with Somalia to prevent the flow of illegal arms. The meeting had been opposed by both Ethiopia and Djibouti, who argue that creating autonomies in the war-torn country could inspire further insurgency by other regions or degrade the gains made by the TFG." The Jubaland initiative has a long history. A Wikileaks cable (see item 6) shows Kenyan support for the idea in early 2010 (via @slowfalling), and “Kenya has been pouring money [and] supplies into the Jubaland area for some time to fight [al] Shabaab.” But momentum toward the creation of an official state picked up with a seven-day conference last week that culminated in the formalization of Jubaland/Azania. Now it remains to see how Jubaland will negotiate its relationships with the TFG, with Kenya, and with the rest of Africa. Commenter James Gundun, responding to an earlier piece, leaves us with some questions and issues to think about: Jubaland has been in the works for years – forming a presidential cabinet electing a parliament is expected – although it’s difficult to say what comes next. While TFG officials attended the week-long conference before appointing Mohamed Abdi Gandhi, how much overlap are they willing to cede to Kenya? This arrangement can squeeze al-Shabab through local governance and attempt to remedy the refugee crisis, but friction may easily develop between Nairobi and the TFG. Ethiopia also opposes the formal recognition of Jubaland, citing fears of increased insurgency, as it monitors the newly-created Shabelle Valley administration and aspiring Somali Central State. Positive interplay between the TFG, Kenya, and Ethiopia is vital to stabilizing Somalia.
  5. Azania is an attempt by the Nairobi government to bring order and security to northeastern border with Somalia, which is overrun by militias With little fanfare and even less international attention, a new state of 1.3 million people called Azania was ushered into existence on Sunday. And Azania has an interim president, Prof. Mohamed Gandhi Mohamed, who was sworn in at the end of seven days of deliberations held in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. The venue for the discussions and the proclamation was no accident. Azania is very much a creation of the Nairobi government and an attempt to bring order and security to Kenya's troublesome northeastern border with Somalia, where there has been no functioning administration since 1991. Azania is to be made up of three Somali regions bordering Kenya: Lower and Middle Juba and Gedo. The capital of what some are calling Jubaland is expected to be the port city of Kismayo. The Nairobi government of President Mwai Kibaki wants President Gandhi to create a buffer state to protect Kenya from the marauding fighters of the radical Islamic group al-Shabaab. After his swearing in on Sunday, Gandhi said his first duty is to retake Azania from the al-Shabaab militias, which now control most of southern Somalia and travel back and forth across the border with Kenya at will. The Kibaki government has already made preparations to give Gandhi, a former Somalia defence minister, the tools to do that job. One of the WikiLeaks documents is a message dated Feb. 17, 2010, from the United States embassy in Nairobi to Washington, which says that the previous month the Kenyan government had received a shipment of arms and ammunition from the Chinese government "in support of the Government of Kenya's Jubaland initiative." There's no doubt that the chaos in Somalia since the last president, Siad Barre, was ousted by warlords 20 years ago has been a real headache for Kenya. Just two weeks ago, al-Shabaab fighters attacked two border towns, Dobley and Liboi. There was intense fighting with Kenyan security forces, and some reports say 200 people were killed and hundreds more wounded. A continuing problem for Kenya is the Dadaab refugee camp inside Kenya, about 100 kilometres from the Somali border. The camp is holding 332,000 Somali refugees, according to the United Nations -three times the number for which it was designed when it was opened in 1991. The camp, according to various reports, has become a rear base, rest and recreation resort and recruiting centre for al-Shabaab. Nairobi wants Dadaab closed, the refugees sent home to Somalia. The creation of Azania is a key part of that strategy. Kenya was a strong supporter of the United Nations and African Union-backed Somali Transitional National Government (TNG), created in 2004. But despite the assistance of several thousand African Union troops, the TNG still controls only a few blocks of the capital, Mogadishu. There are almost daily battles and skirmishes with al-Shabaab, which controls the rest of the capital and much of the rest of southern Somalia. Kenya's promotion of the creation of Azania is tacit admission that the Nairobi government has little confidence the TNG is going to get its act together and establish a functioning administration in Somalia any time soon. And Azania is modelled on the two regions of Somalia where there are governments that are working reasonably well. Soon after President Barre's ouster in 1991, northern Somalia declared itself separate. It has been operating reasonably successfully as Somaliland since then, though it is not internationally recognized as an independent country. Puntland, the northeastern region of Somalia, in 1998 also declared itself an autonomous region, but made it clear that, unlike Somaliland, it envisages an eventual reunification with Somalia. Puntland was one of the main centres for piracy against shipping in the Gulf of Aden. But in the last couple of years the Puntland government, has worked hard to suppress piracy and most of the pirates in the region now operate from coastal towns further south in the region under the influence of al-Shabaab. While the attraction to Kenya of trying to create something similar in Azania is clear, not everyone believes it can happen. The governments of Ethiopia and Djibouti in particular fear Azania will just be a spark for more of the clan warfare that has kept Somalia in chaos for 20 years.
  6. Amin depicts the real essence of the Somali saying, ku-qabso ku qadi meysidee. He captures the true mental imagery of Somali politicians. Odaga caadi ma aha. Welcome to the dark old days of SSDF, SNM, USC, SPM, SNF, USP, USF, SNF, SNA......etc. We got a little sophisticated over the pass two decades and got rid of the short abbreviations. United by language, religion and culture, divided behind clan labels.

What's new here? What could you possibly bring to the table that wasn't already here? Save to say Azania is just another proxy war led by power hungry warlords? By the way, when I said history repeating itself, I was referring to that incident. I've heard so many stories about blood brothers and relatives hunting each other down like pitbulls on steroids. Not lesson enough for you I guess since you want to emulate it in other towns.
  8. ^so Azania is gonna fck its way to power? Really? If that's the strategy here, why even bother it. I mean how is this any difference than say....I know I am going to use a crazy example like AS. Isn't that what AS do day in/out? Shoot their way to into implementing the Shareeca. Shoot their way to arrest a guy chewing some jaad or stole some banana. Seriously, the problem with AS is not they don't want to negotiate. They shoot into the negotiating table and that's exactly what seems to be taking place in Dhoobleey.
  9. Reportedly 178 including 57 civilian died, brought to you by Azania. What a record. Never before Azania has a new admin managed to cause 178 with 57 civilians killed in its first week of inception. Great way to start and a qualifying membership for Gaandi to dagaal-ooge club. Waxaan la yaabay dadka arrinta taageersan oo hardcore believers in tolka noqday, don't they see the obvious of the most obvious? Waxa meesha ku dhamaanaya waa of the same tol. With Madoobe, Kimbooni boys and Garisa recruits on one side and AS of Dhoobleey majority of whom M Sub on the other side. What in world is going on? History repeating itself? Professor Gaandi must shoulder the full responsibility of having these cousins kill each other mercilessly for his own personal political gains. What a shame.
  10. At least 178 people, including 57 civilians, have been killed and several others injured in clashes between government forces and al-Shabab fighters in Somalia. Heavy fighting erupted in the outskirts of Dhobley on Sunday and security forces could eventually take control of the town, killing at least 44 al-Shabab fighters, a Press TV correspondent reported. The government says Al-Shabaab fighters targeted houses in Dhoobley, causing hundreds of families to flee their homes. At least 178 people are reported to have died in the fighting from both sides. Al-Shabab has confirmed that it has lost the towns of Dhoobley and Liboi to government forces. Heavy machine guns, mortars and anti-aircraft guns were used in the exchange of fire that wounded at least 140 people, including civilians Fighting has turned more violent since Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed announced a new offensive on February 23 and said that 17,000 African Union and Somali soldiers will continue to fight until al-Shabab's hold on the capital, Mogadishu, and other cities is shattered. Dozens of government soldiers, opposition fighters and civilian have since been killed on a daily basis, reducing the possibility of reaching a peaceful solution to the crisis. Somalia has been without an effective central government since former dictator Siad Barre was overthrown by warlords in 1991. Somali government controls only a small part of Mogadishu. Lack of coordination among its forces, who are barely trained and seldom get paid, has for long barred the government's promise of a full-scale war against opposition fighters. Fighting, famine and disease have led to the death of nearly one million people in the African country and crushed all government efforts at restoring security. There are more than 1.4 million internally displaced persons in Somalia. More than 300,000 of them are sheltered in Mogadishu alone.

  16. ^Adiga marba hadii the good professor is heading the project, waad la dhacsan tahay. I like that. Balse aniga, I don't really understand the need to form a new administration or one shared by three states. We are at war with each other as is right now and have been for the last two decades, why complicate the situation even more and introduce another potential war and turmoil? No matter how much we sugarcoat, the fact on the ground remains that Somali clans in this region, not the people, the clans have no love and mercy for each other. One doesn't trust the other. The recent history shows these clans couldn't live in peace for twelve months in a calendar without killing each other. And you think it'd take few Phds to erase all that and get them to hug and cheer each other up. Not that quick. Let each one decide their own fate or not bother it at all.

  19. GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons may need a lesson in online reputation management. Lesson 1: Don’t kill elephants. Lesson 2: If you do kill an elephant, don’t post a video about it on the web. 3: If you do kill an elephant and post a video about it on the web, and then tweet it out to 33,000 followers. Really lesson 1 solves them all, but now he’s learning the hard way as the controversy has taken the web by storm. GoDaddy is no stranger to controversy. That’s for sure. This is a whole new kind of controversy though. The following video says it all (warning: it’s graphic): The video begins with the text, “Of everything I do this is the most rewarding. This video shows one typical night and day.” “Damage is extensive. Unless elephant are stopped entire crop may be lost,” the captions in the video say. “When crops are lost subsistence farmers risk starvation.” “Bob Parsons fires first,” they later proclaim. “Bob Parsons fires again. Both shots hit home. “One bull is killed. The rest stampede out of the field unhurt.” Then it goes to a series of still photos of Parsons posing proudly with the dead elephant. “Early the next morning hungry villagers butcher the elephant,” it then reads, before cutting to footage of the villagers butchering the animal while AC/DC plays over it. Some villagers wear GoDaddy hats. Source
