He was great man that eventually succumb to the same evils that plagued his predecessors. The demise of the Somali state is not entirely of his doing, but regardless of historical inaccuracies, one can't excuse his hand on the march to chaos. He was afterall the Head of the state.

I guess the courts and these guys have got something in common.

A nation wada experts ah iyo mucaarnimo without cause not mention poverty stricken masses whose loyalty is to the clan led by self-enriching corrupt and extremely unpatriotic leaders who are easily manipulated and outsmarted by foreigners that are completely indifferent or outright hostile to the Somali people has little chance of redeeming its self as it is self evident on these SOL pages. It will take men with principles and masses that will empathize with their own misfortunes to break the cycle of this fratricidal orgy. For any change to occur in Somalia, the Somali character must go through transformation- from that of ignorant souls whose boasts about killing their brothers,pillaging towns and cities, garnering pride from superficial tribal attributes, and unapologetically discriminating against their very brethren to that of people of principles and Iman willing to fight against injustices against them and their brethren. The root cause of the Somali problem is the abject poverty and the utter disregard or sometimes complete subjugation of "minority" Somalis. Redemption will come only if we acknowledge the injustices faced by some Somalis, and also realize that it is poverty that's hindering the amalgamation of the Somali people into one cohesive cultural, political, and economical force. It is only through this individual or collective self-realization that we will be to deliver ourselves from the hole we have dig ourselves for.

troop of vervet monkeys is giving Kenyan villagers long days and sleepless nights, destroying crops and causing a food crisis. Earlier this month, local MP Paul Muite urged the Kenyan Wildlife Service to help contain their aggressive behaviour. But Mr Muite caused laughter when he told parliament that the monkeys had taken to harassing and mocking women in a village. But this is exactly what the women in the village of Nachu, just south-west of Kikuyu, are complaining about. Sexual harassment They estimate there are close to 300 monkeys invading the farms at dawn. They eat the village's maize, potatoes, beans and other crops. And because women are primarily responsible for the farms, they have borne the brunt of the problem, as they try to guard their crops. The monkeys grab their breasts, and gesture at us while pointing at their private parts Villager Lucy Njeri They say the monkeys are more afraid of young men than women and children, and the bolder ones throw stones and chase the women from their farms. Nachu's women have tried wearing their husbands' clothes in an attempt to trick the monkeys into thinking they are men - but this has failed, they say. "When we come to chase the monkeys away, we are dressed in trousers and hats, so that we look like men," resident Lucy Njeri told the BBC News website "But the monkeys can tell the difference and they don't run away from us and point at our breasts. They just ignore us and continue to steal the crops." In addition to stealing their crops, the monkeys also make sexually explicit gestures at the women, they claim. "The monkeys grab their breasts, and gesture at us while pointing at their private parts. We are afraid that they will sexually harass us," said Mrs Njeri. The Kenyan Wildlife Service told the BBC that it was not unusual for monkeys to harass women and be less afraid of them than men, but they had not heard of monkeys in Kenya making sexually explicit gestures as a form of communication to humans. The predominantly farming community is now having to receive famine relief food. The residents report that the monkeys have killed livestock and guard dogs, which has also left the villagers living in fear, especially for the safety of their babies and children. All the villagers' attempts to control the monkeys have failed - the monkeys evade traps, have lookouts to warn the others of impending attacks and snub poisoned food put out by the residents. "The troop has scouts which keep a lookout from a vantage point, and when they see us coming, they give warning signals to the ones in the farms to get away," said another area resident, Jacinta Wandaga. 'Monkey squad' The town has been warned by the Kenya Wildlife Service not to harm or kill any of the monkeys, as it is a criminal offence. Running out of options, residents are harvesting their crops early in an attempt to salvage what they can of this year's crop. Unfortunately, this only invites the monkeys to break into their homes and steal the harvested crops out of their granaries. Even the formation of a "monkey squad" to keep track of the monkeys' movements and keep them out has failed. The area is simply too large for the few volunteers to cover, they say. Some residents have lost hope and abandoned their homes and farms, but those who have stayed behind, like 80-year-old James Ndungu, are making a desperate plea for assistance. "For God's sake, the government should take pity on us and move these monkeys away because we do not want to abandon our farms," he said. "I beg you, please come and take these animals away from here so that we can farm in peace." bbc.com

YOu are either supporting the Xabashis and their invasion or you are against it. When did Bush and his gang become your mentors. And just are you doing to fight the Habashi invaders pillaging your neighbor to the south?

Their death mean nothing, ours are heading straight to paradise. Alla maa kuu sheegay?

Mogadishu 24, August.07 ( Sh.M.Network)- This week has been a week of hope for the African Union mission in Somalia. The UN Security Council has asked the Secretary General to develop, within thirty days, a contingency plan for a possible UN deployment in the Horn of Africa nation. Voice of America also announced this week that the UN has decided to scale down the number of troops involved in the Liberia mission, easing the pressure on the countries that had forces there. Capt. Ankunda is the AU Spokesman in Somalia A delegation from Burundi will also be in Somalia, mid this week to assess for themselves where their forces will possibly deploy. This indeed is good news for the Somali people. Somalia has already distinguished herself as the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe, with about two million people in displacement. It is the most striking example of Africa’s failed states, having stayed without a central government for close to two decades. MSF president, Christophe Fournier has described the humanitarian situation as "shocking and absolutely unacceptable." This surely calls for a UN intervention. In Somalia, just like in most African conflicts, there is no peace to keep. Unfortunately, the world body has been stuck to its traditional approach of peacekeeping. This, in my opinion, has been outlived by the nature of the conflicts that have to be dealt with. For the UN to say that they only deploy where there is peace is to forget that the AU deployment in Somalia was actually sanctioned by them, and there is no peace to talk of in Somalia. Moreover, the Ugandan troops there are definitely part of the wider UN family given that Uganda is a member of the United Nations. AU is just an implementing agency for the world body's desire to restore peace in Somalia. In fact, if the Ugandan soldiers changed and adorned UN's blue berets, they could easily pass for UN peacekeepers. So what is the problem? The UN's requirement that a country at conflict has to have 'peace to keep' for them to deploy is really mind-boggling. In the first place, the reason why a country's government allows foreign troops to enter their territory to 'keep peace' is because their security forces have failed to keep the peace or have even destroyed it. In the period preceding the escalation of violence, the UN is supposed to foster preventive diplomacy. In most conflicts seen on the globe today, the UN has failed to shuttle this diplomacy, to prevent the escalation of conflicts into violence. This is why the UN should adjust to the more contemporary reality of peace making. The grandiose argument that there has to be political agreements between the warring factions is equally misplaced. This is because prior to the deployment of a neutral party, there is always mistrust between the warring parties and hence no mediator to guide the parties to agreement. What should be understood however is that western powers always have their national interests at the back of their mind before deploying their soldiers. Remember, they are the bakers and servers of the big cake. There is no reason whatsoever why European or American taxpayers should risk their money and troops if there is no guarantee that their sons and daughters will come back home safely or even enable their countries to achieve the national interest. This is why African leaders must take the tall order and provide African solutions to African problems. Relying on unpredictable western allies may never help the beleaguered continent to rid itself of the chronic conflicts. Therefore, the relatively rich nations of Africa; South Africa, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt etcetera should deploy in Somalia, for the good of our mother continent. Capt. Ankunda is the AU Spokesman in Somalia

what's a born again Somali horta?

LoooooooooooL....It can get very annoying if the same mantric questions are thrown your way. One way of getting out is to say what everybody knows, but never wanna admit. Promise to shut my mouth for time being though

Now what's point of asking him something he couldn't do anything about.

A wiseman he is.

I know it is never my fault either. It is others who always rant about nothing while being in my face That aside Mr Khalaf, I don't understand what's your issue with name adopted by the resistance. If other Somalis truely wanted to be free and liberate their lands. They would joined their brethen in the fight against the Xabashi. I don't see how you could blame other tribes's complete indiffirence or lack of interest on ONLF. These other Somalis would have joinned the struggle if they truely care Somaligalbeed. I guess they don't care enough. If they did, they would have actually sat down with ONLF and form a new movement ( who knows maybe with diffirent name too). The fact remains other Somalis never took the initiative to engage ONLF.

LoooooooooL@adiga iyo Duke goormaad isku asxaab noqoteen.

Soomaalida majaajilo kale waaye. Talking wasting space!

^^And I thought you were a Somaliland nationalists.

It is unfortunate for there was always seems to be a disconnect between the Somali masses and their self-appointed leaders. The boys in Asmara seem to be following the all too familiar track of imposing their unsolicited will on already beaten nation still in the midst of fratricidal orgy. And their call to abandon everything gaal though done with the noblest of sintention is rather of note considering they are making such call under the guise of Orthodox Christian.

Cunugaan maxuu galab saday ragga isku hirdinaya Somalia?. I hope Somalis come to their senses for the sake of their children.

Originally posted by Kashafa: Somalinimo does exist and indeed is the way forward. That's departure from your usual views on nationalism. You are being pragmatic which is good. Hopefully more people will give up a little bit of their clanist, nationalist, and Islamists views by moving to the middle, and finding common cause which is to rid ourselves habashis as well as lackeys.

there is no chance of Ethiopian army patrolling berbera How much you wanna bet on that?
