Every other web news is reporting that the ICU and its leader Sharif declaring war on Axmaro, except Duke and his few trusted websites. Jenerale let me ask you this, if the imminent war between ICU (Somali people) and Axmaro started who will you side with? And please just answer straight , dont go about it. Ethiopians vs ICU..who do you support? Haba lakula hare, mantey oo dhan is jid-jid maku jireyna, yaad la jirta is cadey wiidayo.

Terror's Playground More than a decade after U.S. troops pulled out, Somalia has fallen to Islamic fundamentalists. Here's why it could become the world's next nightmare By SAM DEALEY / MOGADISHU Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, the leader of the Islamic courts in Somalia, gestures while observing the training of militias. On a dusty side street in Somalia's former capital, there's little that distinguishes Mohammed's stall from the others. A grenade rests against a box of ammunition next to a row of AK-47s, and still more rifles hang from nails beneath a patch of tin roofing. His booth occupies prime real estate in the center of Mogadishu's Bakaraaha Arms Market, and he obsessively polishes his guns with an oil-stained rag in a battle against sand and grit. But few passersby show interest. Once one of the most bustling, bristling arms bazaars in the world, the Mogadishu weapons market is weathering a down cycle, with business a mere fraction of what it was in the days when warlords settled internecine grudges in the city's streets. Mohammed's average daily sales have dropped from 15 AKs to just three--and prices have fallen by almost half, to $300. "The only good job was selling guns," says Mohammed, 24. "Now I don't know what I'll do." In most strife-torn parts of the world, a bear market for weapons would be cause for relief. But tranquillity rarely lasts long in Somalia. Since the overthrow of dictator Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991, the country has been a byword for dysfunction, less a nation-state than a destitute, unremittingly violent land ruled by the barrel of a gun. Last June the warlords' grip on power was finally broken by a dedicated confederacy of fundamentalist Muslim militias that fought their way into the former capital and sent the warlords fleeing. Since then, the Muslim militias, which call themselves the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), have consolidated their claim to Mogadishu and expanded their control to include most of Somalia, particularly the fertile lands and strategic ports in the country's south. Meanwhile, the U.N.-backed transitional government is unraveling. Confined to the squalid town of Baidoa near the Ethiopian border, the government is dependent on foreign money and security and crippled by internal dissent and mass resignations. The fear is that Somalia, a country with nearly 9 million Muslims and one that the U.S. has long suspected is a haven for al-Qaeda, may fall further into the hands of Islamic fundamentalists sympathetic to terrorist organizations. A report by the U.N.-chartered watchdog group on Somalia, which was submitted to the U.N Security Council last week, says the ICU has developed extensive ties with groups and states steeped in terrorism. The report states that the ICU sent "approximately a 720-person-strong military force to Lebanon to fight alongside Hizballah against the Israeli military" during this summer's monthlong war. In exchange, Hizballah's leadership "has made arrangements" for governments like Iran's and Syria's to contribute arms and supplies to the ICU. And senior leaders within the ICU, including co-leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, allegedly have direct ties to al-Itihaad al-Islamiya, a radical group suspected of links to al-Qaeda. Leaders of the ICU deny such allegations, but it's telling that they don't seem particularly bothered by them. "We believe the war against terrorism is a war against Islam," says the hard-line ICU national security chairman, Sheik Yusuf Indahaadde. "Those who are making trouble are not based here." Then, in English, the sheik adds forcefully, "Bush is the mother and father of terrorism." Read more in depht.

It is a rejoicing news, though not in the sense others put it. It is a good sign to see that Cadde and the Puntland government to cede to the pressures from within, and thus it will hold the ICU forces to come to the aid of mass Puntland population who want a change from the current corruptive regime to a Islamic rule. However the change does not merely stop at the announcement of Cadde to adapt to Islamic Law. Basis and fundemental changes have to be made, such as the establishment of 'maxkamamiins' in all towm, district and regional levels. That should be followed by their union and joint formation of ruling council for Puntland, and in latter stages their bigger union with the ICU. The annoucement made by Cadde to the adaptation to Islamic rule is just a catalyst to more changes to follow and will above anything cease the advancing ICU troops from attacking the Puntland state. That indeed is a good news. The ICU forces in Baderledley have only one major task remaining now, and they have already issued their warning to the people of South Mudug. It is choose between the rule of the Islamic Courts Union or stick behind the remanant of 'dark ages', Kheyrdiid. It is up to them, if they choose to expel Kheyrdiid and form an Islamic Court of their own, well and good and if not the 'lamacelshan' ICU forces will walk into South Galkacyo and capture the whole town. They dont have long to contemplate now. Guys do not underestimate the motivational and convincing powers of the ICU, they are going to spread like a wildfire through out the countrym ,but whether they will be able to sustain and deliver will be judged in the course of History. They are already failing in parts where they captured months ago.

Good something still lingers in your memory, a week ago I told you it will be within as you remember. Today Cadde 'concedes' as you assume a clever step to appease the local ulimo. Tell me why now, where is the pressure coming from? Why the change of heart now?

Originally posted by General Duke: The question is where does that leave the ambition of the clan courts, which is to rule these areas? As for the question, it leaves them in a better place and they will sit, wait and watch how the changes will take place. As for the second part of the quote, they have never set out to rule any place, except to introduce Islamic rule in whole of Somalia and let people govern themselves in that manner and at the same time join the Union led by Sheikh Sharif and Hassan Dahir Aweys. It is that simple Duke, now tell me how Cadde wants to go about this, since by circumstantial demand he has accepted the introduction of full rule of Sharia( which he never intended before), will he name himself as one of the imaams of a local maxakama and thus join the Ismalic Courts Union in that capacity? Will he step down and give a chance to the local wadaads who are apparently sympathetic to the ICU and leave the region? What is he going do sxb, tell us, cause it is obvious the guy does not want to be chased as others before him.

Labadan nin ayaa Khilaafkooda uu ku saleysan yahay labo weji. Waa tan kowaadee waxaa jirtay in nin ku heyb ah Sheekh Yuusuf Indha Cadde uu todobaad ka hor uu nin isagana ku heyb ah Abuu Cuteyba ku dilay Deegaanka Raadeerka ee Degmada Dayniile, waxaana dilkaas uu ahaa mid uu ka dhashay muran xaga dhulka ah oo u dhaxeeyay midka la dilay iyo kan wax dilay. Arrintaas ayaa keentay in si weyn looga doodo, iyadoo uu is qab qabsi ka yimid qaabka ninka wax dilay loo fakiyay,taasoo la sheegay in fikrada ninkaas lagu badbaaday oo looga saaray gudaha Magaalada uu lahaa Yuusuf Indha Cadde, waxaana Garoonka Diyaaradaha Muqdisho ka dhoofiyay Xuseen Cirfo oo Gudoomiye ka ah Degmada Afgooye.

Saxiib USC is dead buried and a foregone conclussion. Hadi aad wax cabasho ama gocasho u qabtiid ayaga mesha lagula xisabtami dono Illahow hana jojin. If you have anything against the core of the tribes that made the USC, trust me saxiib it is a mutual grudge. And ithas no basis except hatred and despise. Now how long can either group hold the grudge and what will it take to heal inorder to find a common ground. So far time and circumstance has played an important role in eradicating the extreme hatred. Time, that it was a long period and people have moved along. Circumstances , we have seen people who opposed each other on tribal basis uniting and forming aliances to opposse others. Where we have today an institution such TFG comprising of all tribs of Somalia and the ICU likewise, though not in the same calibre. Therefore those who only want to hold on to power or gain authority through tribal factor are playing the tribe card. You and the TFG and Puntland authority are exactly doing so, cause you have no other means to convince except appeal to this option which you deem you can only gain something.By labeling the ICU as a tribal front. ICU has its downfalls and lack of actually achieving what it set out to do or promised, but by labiling them tribe you enhance their period of existance and bring the country back to a stage where others argue it has passed it long time ago, tribal feud.

They are slowly begining to loose the plot.

Bada-Caas, you are taking the whole situation out of context and disguising it with your own imaginary situation. Setting aside whether they are capable of banning it or not. Disregarding the fact in terms of public relation they should have delayed at least temporarily the banning. Leave all all that, tell me when a circulation or even a emergency general notice was issued by the ICU banning the 'drug'. None what so ever, not even verbal one let alone written one. So would you agree with me the burning of the 'drug' yesterday and today contradicts the fair governance promised by the ICU.Therefore the owners of both consignement are entitled to full refund of cost and expected profit since they were not breaking any law that existed at time of deliver. This once again proves that there is no central leadership within the ICU , hence raising the doubt that any one of them is am 'emir'. RedSea leave alone whether qaat is drug or not, leave behind your emotional support, just evaluate whether this action by the ICU will go down well or not.

I dont make sense, then tell me how do they intend to ban it. Late 1980's we a had government that was in full control and they could not ban it at all. So tell me how do a punch of wadaads who came to power through the support of the people intend to eradicde the lively source and pastime leisure of many who support them. Today in the streets of Mogadishu there were demos and chaos. Two shipments have been burned and the owners have never been given ample warning , in other words they were not commiting a crime against the legislation of the ruling ICU. Do you understand the seriousness of this action taken by the ICU. It shows they lack means to govern sensibly and communicate with those they govern. The burning of the khat is like as if they have shot themselves in the foot, and they will certainly and seriously regret it.

Lieutenant General saxiib sheekada dheer iska dhaf iyo sharaxada, shacabka reer Puntland wax ma dorteen ha mise maya. Stop going around hand picked individuals who then went along to elect Cadde. No one can claim to have the mandate of the people in Puntland sxb however much you try to jutify it whether you call it Derma or Dunga. They have never been consulted nor asked to give mandate. Odayasha ama horjogayasha ama Isinka ama Ugaaska ama Suldanka that exists in Puntland or rest of Somalia cannot be classified as democratic status. Give me another one L General, that is not going down well sxb.

This would have a serious repercussion, very serious one.
