Geeljire-I was referring to the newbie. Is it me or there's trend here of people from certian region holding the same exact thinking. It's like they are being recycled from some robotic factory in the desert, and to be fair, it's not just a region-let's just say anything north of Galkayo where the good, healthy, and well mannered people live

Police: Husband Hired Wife's Rapist off Craigslist for Sexual Fantasy North Carolina Man Jailed While Police Hunt for Craigslist Rapist By SARAH NETTER June 4, 2009 Police in North Carolina are hunting for a man they believe raped a woman at knifepoint. The assailant, police say, was hired by the woman's husband through Craigslist to feed his sexual fantasy. "She was definitely not a willing participant," Kannapolis Police Capt. Chuck Adams told ABCNews.com today. "The children were in a bedroom across the hallway, maybe 15 to 20 feet away." Adams said the woman's husband Travis -- ABCNews.com is withholding his last name to protect his wife's identity because she is a sex crime victim -- responded to two Craigslist sex advertisements asking if the men would be willing to rape his wife, Adams said. abc

I am not sure you understand what alshaabs demans are. But lets deal with the ones you listed above. Xiin To understand their demands, you will have to first accept and embrace them as the legitimate political movement.Reading what many on SOL write about Al-Shabaab, it is evident many can not bring themselves into acknowledging Al-Shabaab as legimate political and social. Casting them as irrational fanatics gives little credence to your arguments! On the issue of AU forces, time and time again, the Sharif "government" has put out contradictory statements, and have even asked more troops to help their cause. The AU itself has said they will do everything possible to defend the government if that means bringing more troops including the Tigreys. Sharif hasn't done or said anything to dispel statements. There has be clear message from the "president" endorsed by the cabinet and the parliament. The AU must also agree with to this. Anything less is just grandstanding. And as far as the issue of Sharif letigimacy is concerned, for practical purposes any government must enjoy sovereignty over its land/resources and must also have consent of its people to make any meaningful change.One could barely associate these variables with the Sharif government. They barely control Xamar let alone the rest of the country, the support from people is minimal again evidenced by the reluctance of people to defend this government. You pointed to the fact the government represents all Qabiils. Let's examine and see if the individuals representing the different qabiil actually have support from constituents. The honest answer is no. More importantly most of MPs don't reside in Mogadisho and are barely there to contribute anything meaningful to the government. In reality, they represent nobody and contribute nothing to governance of Somalia. This was clearly demonstrated when Memo of Understanding between the TFG and Kenya came to light.MPs failed miserably to tackle.In fact, many happily reside in Nairobe. On the international front, the support for Sharif is only in paper. Though, it's politically recognized,the international community deprived the TFG necessary tools to survive or importantly thrive.The international community has promised funds, but delivered little to help the TFG in setting up proper security forces, building government institutions, establishing proper bureaucracy, rehabilitating clan militias, and offering very basic services. You saw the latest donor conference where the money that was promised is mostly to AMISOM. The United Nations Political in Somalia and UNDP are responsible for the reconstruction and politics of Somalia according the UN. These organizations are paid to help Somalis are based in Kenya. The best they have done is to conduct one day seminars for MPs in Baydhabo (Yeey's time), Hargeysa, and Garowe.Mark Bowden shows up in provincial capitals and Mogadisho to make it seem like UN is actually doing something. History my friend has shown the world and the UN is not interested to put an end to Somali troubles. If you believe otherwise, do share your reasons..? The role of International community means nothing unless they contribute to the TFGs capicity building which is badly needed.

Xiin-If history is anything to go by, no one alone can secure Xamar. Only political settlement can pull the curtains on this stalemate. The demands of Al-Shabaab are simple and within reason. AU forces must leave the country, Sharif must stop pretending that he leds the legitimate government of Somalia, and the Sharia law must be implemented.

Sources please?

^That maybe so, but why would anyone justify the occupation of Isreali by agreeing to help in ethnic cleansing.

Duke-I don't care who's Muslim or who's not, but I do care is not have subservient state which Sharif and company are advocating and fighting for. Movements are bigger than one man but you wouldn't know that, would you..?

^Says the man who supported the shelling of Xamar by foriegn invaders and continue to appease more shelling by "peacekeepers".

Jb...Terrorist organization according to you, just because they made to the list of terrorist organizations by State Department doesn't mean they are. These men fought for their country against occupation, brought peace to the part of the south they control, and stop the injustices visited on our people by maruading militias. My support for them stems from the fact they are the best chance to bring lasting peace to the south. Duke...Failure resides in Yemen!
