Somali government fires the commander of the armed forces Aweys Osman Yusuf Mogadishu 22, May.07 ( Sh.M.Network) The Somali government sacked the first commander of the national armed forces after he was accused of instigating the disturbances that took place in the port city of Kismayu, 500 km south of the capital Mogadishu, late last month. Col. Abdirizak Afgadud, told Shabelle by phone from Bulo Gadud settlement in Kismayu, that the clan fighting which happened in port town had nothing to do with his being fired. “I am a Somali soldier who has been ordered to step down. I took the orders and I am not angry but I was not involved in Kismayu fighting,” he said. He has indicated that he transferred the responsibility to another officer temporarily, stressing that he did not know why he was laid off. The situation in Kismayu is relatively calm lately after a government delegation arrived in the area and successfully mediated the two rival clans that fought over leadership. Somalia’s Defence Minster, Barre Hirakle was also sacked early this month as he was related to violence. Hirale, a former warlord, was in control of the port city before the Union of Islamic Courts, which were routed by the Ethiopian and Somalia troops, forcefully evicted the General out of the town.

Somalia lost a good. Adan Cabdulle reer Beled Weyne isla ahaan jirnay.My grandfather knew him long before he become the leader of free Somalia. He was a good man then,and died a better man now. May Allah bless his soul.

Waxaa iyana warar soo baxaya oo aan la xaqiijini sheegayaan in rag uu hogaaminayo wasiirkii hore maaliyada ee Soomaaliya C/raxmaan Jaamac Bare oo ay ka mid yihiin Maslax Max’ed Siyaad iyo C/qaadir Xaaji Masale ay hadda ku sugan yihiin magaalada Addis ababa ee dalka Ethiopia si ay uga codsadaan madaxda Ethiopian-ka in iyaga loo daayo maamulka magaalada Kisaayo gacana lagu siiyo. I guess everyone wanna be Mele's little Biaatch.

Badacas...sure blame Che. On totally diffirent note, were you present at this event. LoooooooooL@Xalimo cat fight

go ahead defend everything and change the subject just to have few things off of your mind.. You have already said it there of how you see an average Somalilander. I haven't changed anything. My view of all Somalilanders that I have meet still stands.Majority of the ones I came into contact with more or less share the sentiments when it comes to the secession issue.Underlying justification for the dismemberment of Somalia is past greivances and the colonial legacy inherited from European partition of Somali lands.If Iam misunderstanding their views, pls illuminate on the issue. As for jew thing, I don't really what you are huffing about. Nobody said that you are Jew not that's anything wrong with that. All Ms D& D did was point parellel similarities between two movements. All you had to do was refute it without going bonkers.

Maybe in your nutshel world, you don't see far beyond their ethnicity, which I am not judging them by, however, their acts against the Muslim world is what has put them on the chapters of the Holy Quran and to this day, they continue to do so, evil doings that is. . Here you have your usual, "I don't judge but" mantra. Reminds of your " I respect SSH people's rights,but the majority Slanders would silence their voice in referendum. Saaxib, hadaad wax dhehdid. Stick to it and back it up with something. Don't try wiggle your way of out it. LooooooooooL@Xiin & Cara...the funny thing is Badacas probably works for Jew. Heck, his state might even have a Jew as senator. One wonder how he reconciles that to his overall view about them.

what's wrong in being a Jew and for matter being compared to one? it shouldnt' be applied and should have absulately nothing to do with Somalis. There is nothing wrong in contrasting human nature or in this case political movements by diffirent social groupings in the world. There could be parallel similarities within movements. Ms D & D made a point about "closing-ranks" mentality. You could try to refute it, but enough with hissy throws about Jews.

There is nothing wrong in being a Jew!!!! P.S. It is an observation. Take it easy.

Tanug You. Will just have to surf diffirent Somaligalbeed sites I guess.

LooooooooooooL@Paragon. You are good man my freind. P.S I can't see the images. Could you add the link please

I am off work.. How convienent Ayeeyo.Bambo meesha dhagtay ka dhaqaaqday. Well, most of the Somalilanders I have meet usually spew the same mantric rhetoric.And majority atleast in my opinion seem to favor the idea of pursuing an identiy of their own which sets them apart from other Somalis and is largely attached to the colonial legacy. And there is certianly a lot emphasis on past grievances coupled with the notion of being a people with diffirent creed-perhaps an antithesis to mainstreem Somali values.

Ms D & D...Yes, wiilal yar yar oo cadiihisa baa hor ordaya not that they are benifitting Cadde's sub-clan.No accountability to anyone. This is what happens when Qabyaalad is tied to goverment. Any move against this man would be seen as an assualt on his subclan. Reer Pland need to get rid off ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Uma....Iam still mastering Malawax.

Ministers bow to hybrid pressure Ministers have bowed to pressure to allow the creation of human animal hybrid embryos for research. When the ban was proposed last year there were fears among scientists it would hamper medical breakthroughs. Hybrid embryos will only be allowed for research into serious disease and scientists will require a licence. Scientists welcomed the proposals put forward in the draft fertility bill, but opponents questioned the ethics of using human cells in this way. web page

^^^Hawd kaa?

^^^It is not your ordinary Shaax.

^^^Lay off on JB. He is very reasonable man.

^^^Umada ha nago dirin. Hiiraale kaliya wax kamaanan sheeginay. Oday rabsho badanbaa tahay Xiinow.

Raga wadankooda Amxaaro usoo horseeday maxay kaloo yihiin war Xiinow.

Are all invited or do I have to be draped in the green, red, and what's other color JB. LoooooooooL@Africa's best kept secret. No wonder the world doesn't know about you guys. If you keep a secret, how's anyone gonna holla at you.

Cadde turn Puntland into family business. Tuugaan in la isku qabto waaye.

Jimcaale....Horn dagaal kulama jiri. Btw you and me labadiina isdeenla. And as for Hiiraale, it is not that he is any worse than other lagaroonayaal, but I just don't understand how an intelligent and educated Somali would in good consciousness defend this man.
