If you need animosity emanating from reer koonfur to unite you, then I think you are in bigger trouble.

Thank you all. [/QB] You are welcome. Hopefully no sore muscles from those heavy bags.

Congrats. And good luck with your next endeavour!

Atleast waa qirteyn jabkii ku dhace. Hopefully, they will learn from it, and abandon this futile quest.

Dowlada shicibkeyda iskuma hubto miyaa. All this seems unneccesary, and reflects badly on the current administration in power.

Enjoy this special day. lets celebrate people

Happy Birthday Dear

^^^^Usheegbo ninyahow. Qoomkaan waxaa larabaa nalaga dhaadhiciyo Hiiraale owliyo waaye. Resdea...I just stated what he and his clan militia to the poor people of Marka. If he repents, that's between him and His creator, but history should reflects atrocities that were committed by his criminal enterprise.

^^^^^What did those two regions have accomplished since?

Duke...LooL...then atleast you give the guy a credit for doing something Yeey and Aidid Sr couldn't accomplish.

Bro, search dis entire forum, and if you found any thread posted by me in praise of the names listed above, let me know. Indhacadde and co are criminals just like the Baydhabo bunch. My support for the courts doesn't stem from their purported religious awakening, but from their desire to run over Somalia, and finish off all the warlord fiefdoms.

Originally posted by General Duke: ^^^Che, your argument does not stand, regarding firepower the TFG has enough guns and will but it is yet not time to take action. Buddy, I think we agree on this one. Reread what wrote. And I credit the courts for taking out Xamar warlords, and bringing some sort order to the south.

No, I didn't

How does one defend a warlord?....aduunyo...lol

If the TFG is in danger why are they not fleeing Baidoa? Why are they not lashing out, making threats? Instead what we have is the quite, before the storm. Ideed it is the courts who are making idle threats daily The TFG does have enough fire power to defend itself, and of course you have Ethios army regiments openly parading in the open. Bro, the more important question here is would the TFG accomplish anything. If history is anything to go by, the answer is no. It had an entire two years to bring about change. It is useless body that is dragging its feet to oblivion. And mind you, the courts are no means angels, but they have least to shown the propensity to wanna progress, and expand their influence into rest of Somalia, while TFG wasted time in useless inter-squabbling and trying to appease warlords.

^^^Paragon, Thera are known Knowns, but there are great unknowns that Duke knows, and which we don't know but will know eventually. Lets the mighty TFG does came nov 1. That remind me of Oodweyne making the same promises about Sland recognition.

^^^lol. Che, these forces if they had attacked the warlords of Mogadishu they would have been seen as aggressors and then the whole clan of Mogadishu would have been united to attack the TFG as nothing more than a clan coming back for revenge. That was the argument of the warlords and some in the courts. How's this any diffirent if The TFG were to attack Xamar today. The Qabiil card would be used. The point is you can't have diffirent Qabiils led by pyschos asserting their independence by curving a little fiefdoms for themselves. Everyone must understand that they are part of country, and as such they must answer to the land's highest authority. But I guess Yeey wouldn't be the man to do. He is so into Qabiil, and could hardly think beyond it. The man couldn't even unify Gaalkayo. That's always amazed me how Pland couldn't control Gaalkiyo entirely.

Duke..Where were the troops you speak of when the Doqon in Jowhar, and Mogdisho warlords( who are so easily defeated by ragtag gardheerayaal) were openly defying the very agreements that they signed on in Nairobi. Only force hell bent on subjugating everyone could only unify Somalia. The courts might be just that force.

Duke..Saaxib, the courts have declared war long time. They have no intention of reconciling with the TFG or any other entity for that matter. I hope they succceed in their attempt to subjugate all Somalia. It is something your adeer when he elected and had the support of all people. Paragon...Local support is necessary in defeating the TFG, I don't know how locals in Bay would feel about such embargo.

He always maintained a neutral role when it comes to politics and neither condemned either side but instead attempted to reconcile the political gap between both sides for the sake of the future of Somalia. That's where he made the mistake. You can't remain neutral in conflicts. He along with every Somali has invested interest in the outcome of the current TFG/Courts struggles. Choose side. One can't be TFG Defence minister and praise the courts at the same time. As for the slander against him, bro the man is warlord. That should say enough.

This is not good for anybody. Bloody war mounted by Ethopians, their stooges, and the Courts in the midst of the poor, defenseless Somali population. The courts leadership should think twice before they rush into war.

Originally posted by General Duke: I belive they are playing into the TFG's hand. Ethiopia never wanted to tip the balance in the Somali conflict, but now has to bring all its might on the side of the TFG because of the silly threats of Eritria and the clan courts. The courts dont undertsand the mindset of the Adis regime. This is why TFG, Hiiraales, and Yeeys of Somalis will lose in the end. You have more faith in their masters than you do in them. It is shame to have Somali using Ethiopia a counter-balance in power struggles. But it demonstrates to the people that the TFG leadership and its many warlords have little to offer, and lacks imagination. Well Mr Duke, I rather have "clan court" than a goverment with subservient mindset.

What happen to your avator? Fierce gaze I would go and see. Are there just for viewing or is there story behind each body?

Shiekh Dahir Riyaale in town....lol This is sad. He is oppurtunistic thug, shows you that he has no princuples.

^^^Setbacks or no setbacks, this doesn't look like well planned assualt on his part. As for propoganda, well that's expected from all sides. P.S Duke, wat does the TFG gain in supporting Hiiraale if he does recapture the port city? I mean he gonna turn Kismayo into another warlord-led clan fiefdom.
