Duke- has the TFG achieved anything so far. Two years on, the TFG can't point to any tangible progress that they have made in the country. It lacks vision, and honestly the compatency to lead the country to any brighter future. The leaders at the top are either politically inapt or simply hell bent on destroying what's left our beloved country. The very concept of TFG as institution might stand above all, but the reality is people running this institution are not equipped to lead this nation. Inter-squabbling and globe-trotting have become their two fav past times. What are their goals, strategies, and vision for the nation, and why aren't they communicating that to the nation.

Duke..Saaxib, it is beyond me just why you still support the TFG. I assume you that you are intelligent man, please enlight as why the boys in baydhabo are worthy our support and understanding. N Please don't bring courts into the argument. Just tell why Somalis should give the TFG another chance?

Talk about irony. The TFG helping the very warlords that wouldn't allow it to set foot in Somalia. Yeey and his ilk are morally bankrupt, and lets hope they lose this one.

Forget babies having babies...what about Axad goosayahe weenlay Koob iyo toban jirin baan mehersade leh. Xooli dheh Kitaabkey buu akhristay....Freaking pedophile. Kan camal tarabuunkii xamar in lasoo istaajiyo oo la dhaga xeeyo aa fiican.

They should shoot him point blank execution style. Disgusting!!!!!!! Umadaan Diin Mala miyaa.

The inclusion of voters into these debates is somewhat valuable, but the responses given by the candidates is very scripted, hardly reflects his/her veiw on given question, and rarely deviates from agenda set by the campaign managers. The whole political scene needs a reformation, and the hold of these two parties need to be broken. As for my state, for first time we might have minority candidate winning the governership. web page I will be probably voting for him. He looks the best choice out there.

^^^^^LOL. I gotta admit that was funny episode. With the way they are going, I bet it will be just a matter of time before they turn up north. I guess we will see then how Xiin reacts. LoL@Turkish

Strenght peace through sustainable agricultural development. Introduce new and easily accesible agricultural technologies and educate the farming communities by establishing Agricultural Research Center. The country has to be able to feed its own, and same time all Somalis must feel that they have a stake in their land. N last but not the least I wanna own my farm. Goverment level, I would love to see the any future Somali goverment streamline the processes of obtianing bunisess licences. The less bureaucracy, the better. Djib.....We might be helpful to each other.

LoooL...Ar take it easy. Yaaba is gaare.This is pretty funny. What would be funnier is to see rag la karbaasho by the virtue police in Hargeisa and Garowe.

They could do nothing, eheh. The last time I checked they kicked the warlords of Xamar Cadeey, Jowhar, and Kismayo. They restored peace and order to much of the south filling the vacuums left behind the blood suckers. They are cautiously moving to capture all Somalia. Yeey on the other hand is holed up in small dusty town with little or no influence outside his Madaxtooyo.He has no plan, no army to speak of, and no certainly real supporters in Baydhabo or elsewhere. He is heavily depent on external forces to even maintian his presence in the present capital. He squandered the oppurtunity and the honor that Somalis bestow upon him. It is time now to move on.

Who made him the governer?. He will probably join the fight,but he will be shown the way. The problem with likes of Yeey gaining the upper hand in the Somali conflict is that these people will turn Somalia into useless fiefdoms. Yeey couldn't even unite a small town like Galkacayo let alone the entire Somalia.There is something clearly wrong with "clean your neighborhood first" attitude. Either you put a claim to all Somalia or leave it alone. Now the courts wanna conquer it all, and I hope they succeed.

It is time to finish off the traitors In Baydhabo. Yeey could go down in flames, or join his brethen in getting rid of Ethio troops out of Somali lands.

LooL@Sharif in military gear

Thanks. That was very informative. I like his anaology regarding the corrasion of the human heart. Keep them coming!!

The supreme court seems to have liberal slant when it comes to issues of social importance. Todays supreme court justices can be classified as being overly conservative, but usually with time even the most conservative justices begin to revere more the traditions of the courts rather than remaining true to their idealogical base.(Scalia and Thomas might be an exception..lol). They might re-examine few things to appease Bush's Evangical base, but in the long run, I don't see them overturning all major civil right cases that won over the last few decades.

Alla Ha unaxariisto. I was checking the local tv channel. The story is still unfolding. web page

No wait, I was molested by clergymen. Whatever happen to own up to your mistakes and bad judgements. Iam talking about the latest Republican fiasco where a Florida congressman was caught engaging a steamy instantt messaging with young male pages. The congressman did resign, but instead of admitting his mistakes, he blamed alcohalism and past sexual abuse for his sad behavior. Can disorders and past experiences be used to explain away this man's bad judgements? The sad thing in this sorry saga is that the speaker of the house was aware of this man's behavior and yet did nothing to protect the young. web page

The courts would more than likely adopt the Iranian style theocracy where the real power rests with a body of clergymen who would turn Somalia into very authoritarian state. Only closed and centralised political entity could ensure the stability needed to take Somalia out of its current mess. Somalis would tolerate political oppression as long as that the system of governance brings that much needed stability which should be followed by economic liberalization and sustained development in all Somali regions. As the far the rights of women are concerned, the lack of female perspective in the courts might lead to draconian legislations limiting the participation of women in the social and political lives of our society.

Duke..We have seen what they do. It might not be to your liking, but certainly more than we could say about Yusuf's goverment in Baydhabo. Peace isn't won through inactions. It is won by men who are proactive. The entity in Baydhabo just reacts to things.

Originally posted by erselam: Peace and unity to a GREATER Somalia. Greater Somalia Eheh...Be careful what you wish for. A greater Somalia could mean a gaint at your doorsteps threatening you with big stick. We could even make case for new border dispute with Eritrea. From what I understand there are traces of Somali tribes in your land. That's all we need to lay claim to your precious Eritrea. So my friend, leave us alone, and we should do the same. Take your battles somewhere else.

Iam cautiously optimistic, but the centralisation of their command is an excellent move on their part. This not only ensures a better governance of the Benadir region, but also puts an end to the Qabiil-based courts which would have proven to be difficult issue if the courts are going to continue their expansionism into the rest of Somalia. Their next project should Shabbeele and the Jubooyinka where there is alot of injustice faced by the everyday Somali.
