"No one will win the civil war that much is clear." Get that through the heads of any organization that springs up from Somali lands whether it was the courts or the TFG. No Somali will be able subjugate other Somalia yet they seem to never understand that. One might have the upper hand for a little while, but that's about it. This is not zero sum game where there gonna be a clear winner. And Iam afraid Qabiil will triumph over Somalinimo. We will go back to the same cycle.

I think they came to quell any uprisings from the Galgaduud and the Mudug regions, but it is baffling to see them go into bosaso granted the news is actually true. One thing is certain, Ethiopia is here to stay. The sooner the rest of Somalia understands that, the better.

He could be a Somali since he was born on Jan 1st.

Paragon....Are these freelance militias or is there an actual coherent insurgencts with hierarchy?

^^^Pls remove the pic!! Red.....Loooool, they need a leader.

You are blunt in your title Saaxib. Your issue is not necessarily with the Ethios and their Daba-dhilif. Abwaan...Xukun yaa horkaneeya apart from God in the hereafter.

^^^So are you. President......Isbada qabo. Shelling the women and children is nothing to celebrate about.

Why would anyone destroy such beautiful face is beyond me, and the concept of stalking is completely absent in African minds. Dhucdhuc....I guess he thought if he can't have her, no else will. I hope they get what's coming to them.

By Amber Henshaw BBC News, Addis Ababa Kamilat Mehdi, 21, had a bright future ahead of her. She dreamt about doing a degree and becoming an air hostess. Kamilat Mehdi knew her attacker All that changed one night when she was walking home from work with her two sisters and a stalker threw sulphuric acid in her face. She is now lying in hospital disfigured beyond recognition. Her skin is red raw, her eyelids have almost been entirely destroyed and her hairline has been burnt back. "I feel very sick now. Every day they need to do something without anaesthetic so it is hard to accept and it is very painful," says Kamilat. Her sisters, Zeyneba and Zubyeda, escaped with lesser injuries but their faces were also burnt by the acid. Shockwaves "We were on our way home from our parents' shop. I was with my sisters," Kamilat says. He gave her a hard time but she didn't tell the family for fear that something would happen to them Kamilat's brother Ismael "One guy came and he looked like a drunkard but he wasn't drunk. He forced us to go down a dark alley and then someone came and threw acid in our faces." Kamilat fell to the floor unconscious while her sisters tried to get help. She lay there until her brother Ismael arrived. "He bothered her for a long time - at least four years," he says. "He gave her a hard time but she didn't tell the family for fear that something would happen to them. He was always saying he would use a gun on them." This incident has sent shockwaves through the community in the capital, Addis Ababa, and amongst Ethiopians abroad. Ismael says he has received calls from Ethiopians living around the world saying how angry and shocked they were about the attack. Two men have appeared in court in Addis Ababa in connection with the attack. Sexual harassment "I hope the court will impose a proportional penalty within a short period of time," Justice Minister Assefa Kiseto says. "That could make others learn from this and refrain from committing this crime. I think this kind of crime is a crime against the whole nation not just a crime against Kamilat." Attacks like this are rare in Ethiopia but women's groups in Addis Ababa say that stalking and sexual harassment are common problems. The Ending Violence Against Women report published by the United Nations at the end of last year said almost 60% of Ethiopian women were subjected to sexual violence at some point in their lives. Mahdere Paulos from the Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association says they would like to see a specific provision in Ethiopian law that tackles stalking and harassment so that there is better protection for young girls like Kamilat in the future. "The problem starts with stalking - the end result is something else," she says. "It might end in grave bodily injury, it might end in death and it might end in different difficult situations and that's why we want it to be taken seriously." Following the uproar at Kamilat's attack, the Supreme Court announced that it has put in place procedures to help pass verdicts on such cases within two days. And Ms Mahdere says some progress has been made by the government over the last few years in tackling violence against women. There is a newly established ministry of women's affairs; there was a push before the 2005 election to get more women into parliament and there has been a complete overhaul of the penal code to beef up laws to protect women. But in some rural areas, the traditional practice of abducting young girls and forcibly marrying them remains common - in one region it accounts for some 92% of all marriages, according to the most recent figures from 2003. Kamilat and her sister have now flown to Paris for medical treatment, which is being financed by businessman Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi.

We the Somalilander community in the diapora are the backbone of Somaliland Your efforts to help those back home are commendable saaxib, but you are not the backbone of Somaliland. Those who stayed behind and survived through wars,and droughts are the backbone of Somaliland. One question saaxib, do those in the diasporo, and the actual citizens backhome share the same goals? I don't see why someone in MNPLS be afforded any say what happens backhome since you don't actual live there,and therefore don't appreciate the day to day struggles that the average Sland go through.

Then you are not really a citizen. Why should you take in their decision making process?

Do you pay taxes to the Somaliland goverment ?
