TFG troops test wepons new deployment..
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar replied to General Duke's topic in Politics
Deegaannada lagu wado in fariisimmaha cusub looga sameeyo dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa waxaa la sheegay inay ka mid noqon doonaan Degmooyinka Diinsoor, Ceel-barde, Duleedka Buur-eylo iyo goobo kale oo ka tirsan Gobolka Bay, goobahaas oo laga filan karo inay dagaallo ka yimaadaan. Ninka waxaas qoray xataa maba kala yaqaano juqraafiga Soomaaliya. Ceelbarde xadka Soomaali Galbeed iyo Bakool ee ku taalay the last time I knew. Another thing Gener duke Baidawa is not puntland nor bossaso so there for Dahir aweys is fighting in his ground today, every dog has his days today is dahir aweys time... Neither is Baydhabo in Galgaduud or Ceelbuur, so to borrow your logic. Cabdillaahi Yuusuf marti ayuu ku joogaa, dadka meesha dego ayee u taalaa bixintiis iyo joogintaankiis, not Korneel Aweys or other wannabe Sacuudis qamiis la boodaayo. -
These wadaado, what are their qabiils?
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar replied to Reality Check's topic in Politics
Salaan... Though wadaada ku sheega are rightly against the formula 4.5, whom the majority Soomaalis agree, unfortunately, theirs is only the talk, not the walk. One clan predominates the this so-called movement; there is no seat or represention from unarmed people and forget about women. This is where the wadaad ku sheega's power lie [there are two groups, "golaha" (legislative) and fulinta (executive)]: Golaha ama Baarlamaankooda [last known figure's members consisted 93 men and no woman]: Korneel Xasan Daahir Aweys [Guddoomiyaha Golaha, aka Speaker of Baarlamaanka] Cumar Iimaan Abuukar [Guddoomiye Kuxigeenka Golaha] Cabdillaahi Afrax Aasbaro [Guddoomiye Kuxigeenka Labaad ee Golaha] Fulinta: Shariif Sheekh Axmed [Guddoomiyaha Fulinta, aka Ra'iisul Wasaaraha] C/raxmaan Jiniqoow [Guddoomiye Kuxigeenka Koowaad] C/qaadir Cali Cumar [Guddoomiye Kuxigeenka Labaad] Wasiirada: Maxamuud Cumar Caddaani [secretary of Treasurer, aka Minister of Finance] Yuusuf Siyaad Indhamadoowe [Minister of Interior] Ibraahin Caddoow [secretary of International Affairs, aka Foreign Minister] Aadan Xaashi Ceyroow [Commander of Special Forces known as Shabaab or Dhalinyarada] Cabdillaahi Macalin Cali Naxar ["General Executioner of Condemned" and Minister of Internal Security Forces] C/raxiin Cali Muudeey [information Minister] All above belong one large respective clan. The only men who hold high position not being that clan is three men by the name of Suuleey, Rooboow and Turki. Max'uud Sheekh Ibraahim Suuleey is the "house leader of the parliament" or Golaha Shuurada. Mukhtaar Rooboow is deputy minister of the interior, also a commander. Korneel Xasan C/llaahi Xirsi [Turki] is a commander or abaanduulo. -

Somalia Africa's world war II.....Congo revisited
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar replied to General Duke's topic in Politics
Stop trolling and flooding the section with same repetitive posts. And use lowercase letters next time. -
Even in Somalia, there isn't "our" Islam. Some Somalis had practiced it as should, others, well mixed it with pre-Islamic practices. It is about time a sorting was done. You're quite correct. The Islaamic faith I know and follow regards worshipping and calling a warlord, a defeated one nonetheless, a "God-like, honoured and respected" an ultimate dambi, a shirk that is affront and contrary of the highest creed: Towxiid. Islaam I know and practice has no place for idol-worshipping and succumbing to qabyaalad in daily ritual, excitedly cheering innocent Muslims bloodshed. You are the the last person, my dear gentleman, to tell others about diinta Islaamka.

Salaan... Aniga ma caayin, mana aflagaadeynin. Iyadaa qaabdaradeeda banaanka lasoo shirtagtay by calling for the blood and destruction of her own people by her ridiculous proclamation of "jihaad" and holding Aa-Kee for a publicity picture. That is ultimate qaabdaro, in effect degrading dumarkeena lagu aqoonin moooryaanimada ee banaanka soo dhigtay. That is itself is gaf to our sisters everywhere. And about indhashareerka? My stance wax ku cusub ma'aha meeshaan, whether surwaalgaab waran la bood quuqdooda wado or not. It is alien to our beautiful Soomaali culture, imported from, as those qamiis-wearing, cimaamad gaduud sifaleeti u qabo wanna-be Sacuudis, which is absolutely cultural, and nothing to do with Islaam. Indhashareer predates diinta intee soo degin kahor, practiced by jaahiliya Carabtii ahaa iyo reer Beershiya. There was and is a Soomaali Islaam that our forefathers practiced hundreds or even a thousand years that firmly and strongly protected our own culture, and still believed in strongly in the Islaamic faith, unlike those later-day comers who are too eager to erase every aspect of Soomaali culture from the land, beginning with those bogus violent-prone surwaalgaabs who to suddenly discovered the "abuu" "ibnu " prefix titles. Noo, our Islaam wasn't that. Our Islaam protected "ina deeq" -- not "abuucuteyba' or "abuumansuur" -- dhaqan firmly in our land, unlike kuwaan maanta isdhexyaacaayo, too enthusiastic to erase every aspect known to Soomaalis. Our Islaam was and is tolerant, unlike those fanatics even misleading our sisters oo sidii baabuur camal u daday, like jirkooda kansar qabo camal qoraxda dhibeyso. Our Islaam allows isdhexgalka bulshada. Our Islaam dumarkeena restrict kuma ahayn, who had more xoriyad than any Carab lady can ever dream, which is unbelievably endangered. Our Islaam mutually respected others dariiqyo, unlike "my way or the high way" mentality of those Sacuudi wannabes. Our Islaam was anything but waxee wadaan kuwaan maanta. They twisted the hitherto respected word of wadaad with their twisted, perverted violent, waran-based sect. A wadaad was never a one who wanted or sought a blood of his brother. A wadaad was and should be a nabadoon, not dagaaldoon. Wadaad was and should always be an opposite and anathema of waranle. Everything waranle or today's equavalent modern moooryaan does the absolute opposite of what wadaad was expected to be. Each Islaamic nation or society has its own sub-cultural fabrics that is unique to them, that they proudly display. Not those later-day wanna-be Sacuudis. Sacuudi Islaam is Sacuudi Islaam, and it fits their environment. Soomaali Islaam is Soomaali Islaam, it fits our environment. Our forefathers and mothers practiced it for a reason and I for one am proud to continue that tradition, unlike dad aan isku hubin waxee yihiin waxee u socdaan. I will proudly wear hoosgundi, koofi barawaani, shaal, a little tusbax and our sistes for garbasaar, guntiino, beautiful dirac, to say few -- anyone who is against this can lament or label all he wants, shuqulkeyga ma'aha. If they want to practice Sacuudi-style or "surwaal qamiis" of Bakistaanis, as Indhamadoowe seems to discovered recently and suddenly -- fine. Keep it to yourself. Sanka ha naga gilin. Not all of us want anything to do with other people's dhaqan. Why do I have to explain myself mar walba horta? Believe what you want, I believe my Soomaali Islaam. Seeftiina iyo warankiina aad la boodeysiin meeshiina ku heysto, not needed. _______________ To Mr.MMA, why did you deleted my response to your ugly comments about our Somali sisters? What post? I am not the only "moderator" on this section. If any post was deleted and offensive -- which I hadn't seen -- then hadii lagaa tirtiray adaa ka masuul eh, not me.

By the way, folks, your attributed post numbers may be down, but most posts are there. A little inconsistency, yes, nevertheless the posts are there. It has perhaps to do fixing the PM bug. And I didn't know there was too much ego or prestige behind what number of posts a person had or has. Ego-boosting iga dheh.

Libaax, try listening this special presentation segment. It goes almost for 45 minutes for Q&A session, moderated by Garaadka. Ciyaalka iskoolada dhigta sida loo brainwash gareeye ayaa la yaabee su'aalaha qaabka daran "jihaad, jihaad" ku haayo ee soo weydinayaan, iyo sida dagaal ugu fakfakanayaan, as though dagaal wax ku cusub inay yihiin. Waaba a whole generation dagal ku koray, yet very enthusiastic ka qeyb qaataan once more. Sad walaahi. Been-Been-Sii may be irrelevant to those of us in Galbeedka, laakiin kuwa degan xeryaha qaxootiga sida Iffoow, Dadaab, Xarardheere iyo Dhagaxleey ama Soomaalida dalka miyi iyo magaalo degan have no other choice but Been-Been-Sii.

Been-Been-Sii aa dhageysatay miyaa? Shariifka waa hadlaa, magaciis u qalmaa. Sheekh Axmed aa dhalay oo qof la xishmeyn jiray ahaa, ilaa hadana xabaalkiisa la siyaarto. Su'aasha Talibaan ku saabsanayd iyo indhashareerka oo gabadha weydiisay ka walwalsanayd in la dhaqangeliyo ama hirgiliyo suu ugu meermay aaba i dishay, qosolkiisana dheera ku bilaabay jawaabteeda. Maxee kugu taalaa as long as kuwa waran la boodka ugu weyn nool yihiin -- sida Rooboow, Ceyroow, Turki iyo Korneel Aweys -- oo safka hore ugu jiraan, wixiisa is that only -- hadal qancis eh, with no ficil following or power commanding.

Biibo, biibol, kamoon. Whole threads and posts disappeared early this afternoon because the Admin. was fixing a glitch in PM problem for some nomads. Unfortunately as it happened last month, it had a collateral effect, wiping many posts and some threads, including mine, in the process. It has nothing to do with indiviuals or what they opine. Perhaps the bot or server is biased, targeting some, while leaving others in intact. Waala hubsadaa, ee seefta ama waranka yaa lala deg degin. Read the posts on General Section threads where others are complaining as well.

Somali Islamists cut fuel supply to government base
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar replied to Paragon's topic in Politics
This is unnecessary provocation and sabotage, reminiscent Caydiid Senior's tactics, such as not allowing caawinaadii caalamka ka yimid to reach landlocked regions. Wadaada ku sheega should know better, otherwise unintended consequences ayaa dhacaayo, forcing and giving the natives of these regions a necessity to liberate Shabeellaha Hoose and its ports, such as Baraawe. And shame for reer Buurhakaba facilitating this shameless stunt. -
With all due respect Mr Miskiin, no ethnic name calling please. It is the rule of the forum. You never asked Wiil-Shaydanka if he hails from reer Iblis, so why do you wanna behave like the RCMP with us. Abaa heeloow, dhageyso, adigaa "Xabash" la baxay, aniga makuu bixin. Kastee igaarkeey? Koleey "Xabash" ma tihid, oo muran raadis aa iska tahay, ee ogoow wax la qaato aa jiro adduunka, "Xabash" wax lala baxa ma'aha, xataa kaftan iyo ciyaar. PS.: Next time use PMs if a message is intended for one person. That is what the private message function is for. Garaadsiyo.

Salaan... Khadiijo Max'ed Cali [i know her site needs a little help, ] Our sister is campaigning for a councillor seat in heart of Koronto's maryooleey xaafado. I haven't met her, though she knocked the other day our door, leaving some campaign pamphlets behind. First time one qof Soomaali la isku daaye waaye, for there is no division in this election, and she may even have a chance. Baliis, marka, vote her for a councillor hadaa degan tahay xaafada Etobicoke North.

Jananka, waala socotaa, and you also know now meeshaa ciidamo deegaan ayaa joogay, still joogo. Ragtag militia meesha heysto waxaa xukumo nin la yiraahdo Dhuuboow Kuuloow. Even ciidamada Rooboow ma joogaan meesha. There is a reason maxkamad laga furin Buurhakaba ilaa hada. There was also a reason why ciidamo Maxkamadaha leeyihiin joogi jirin meeshaas, because locals qilaaf weyn ayaa ka dhex jiray. So sabata aad u leedahay so-called Maxkamadaha ciidamadooda iyo officialkooda ayaa tagay hadana kasoo cararay. Meesha inay u qudbeyaan ayee u tageen, ma u tagin wax kale. Indhamadoowe in uu tago meeshaas, loo dulqaato oo magac Maxkamadaha ku sheega ku socdo waxaa ku kaliftay ciidama beeleedka magac "dowlad" wato iyo Amxaarada. Dadka waligooda Amxaaro arkin ayaa Amxaaro loola tagay. Shock ayaaba ku dhacay. Dowladaas iyadaa ka masuul eh maanta in uu Indhamadoowe uu ka qudbeeyo Buurhakaba, waligiis ma haweysteen. Dowlada dad badan u dhashay reer Buurhakaba Baydhabo joogo ayee u diri kartay, xataa Xaabsade aan u dhalan ama Shaatigaduud. Dad mala waayin, markee Amxaaro soo wateen iyo ciidamo magac beeleed eh becomes an occupation. Illaa hada locals ayaa heysto wali, perhaps few tikniko Rooboow keenay now. Rooboow, by the way, ma u dhalan Buurhakaba. It is like saying Cabdullaahi Yuusuf ayaa u dhashay Laascaanood.

Garoonka Caalamiga ee Soomaaliya
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar replied to Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar's topic in Politics
I am afraid the scenerio would even get more ugly, bordering classical comedy. If any so-called "mujaahidiin" enter, and of course they will, Mareykanka will enter; if Mareykanka enters the perhaps "Dear Leader's" Waqooyiga Kuuriya would enter the scene; if Waqooyiga enters Jabbaan would do; if Jabaan does, so would Shiinaha. And yaa ka reebaayo old colonials of Faransiiska and Ingiriiska, seeing their their former possesions [Jabuuti] and [Waqooyi Galbeed] respectively in the midst of flame, they too would enter. Seeing this, for a prestige's sake, Ruushka would too, perhaps to score back their old humiliated wound, when Soomaalis kicked them from Soomaaliya. Midowga Yurub yaa ka reebaayo iyagana, of course it will side their members. And of course Jaamacadda Carabta, it too supporting its other unparticipating members. So will Bakistaan, hearing another "Taliban" in a place close to Carabta. They will rush. The day Bakistaan enters, so will Hindiya. Kanada and Australia will side Mareykanka, their Anglo-Saxon brethrens. Seeing Kanada and Mareykanka enter, the Iskiimoos of Kanada and the Aboriginals of Australia would equally support by mouth or mind the other side, whoever they are. They don't want others to experience what happened to them. The other natives from Laatiin Ameerika would enter too, led by men and their nations by the names of Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales. When Venezuela and Bolivia enter, Mexico will, siding with Mareykanka and crushing their native Indians, who sided with the Aboriginal declaration. Barasiil and Arjentiina cub iyo cir ayee qabsanayaan, who to side. And then the inevitable happens: Dalkii iyo dadkii la oran jiray Soomaaliya, the new Yahuud, scarterred around the world. That is the scary scenerio. Could be a possibility. Ain't no laughin' matter, but I can't resist. -

What Soomaaliya will experience, Eebbe kama dhigee, nooma keenee, would make the former Sa'iir [Koongo] conflict a kids' playground. --------------- Up to 12 Countries Could Be Sucked Into Conflict The East African October 23, 2006 John Mbaria Nairobi As another regional war in Somalia becomes ever more imminent, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda and, to some extent, Tanzania are among some 12 countries playing active roles in the conflict, says a new report prepared for the US State Department. The report - Somalia: Regional Involvement and Implications for US Policy - which The EastAfrican has obtained, says that unlike Ethiopia and Kenya - who have some justification for getting involved - Uganda and Eritrea's interest in the conflict has more to do with regional adventurism and the desire to achieve goals extraneous to the conflict. Tanzania's role in the conflict is somewhat interesting and indirect in that the country was drawn into participating when the US invited it to join the Contact Group on Somalia. Besides, Dar es Salaam has in the past expressed a desire to accommodate Somali Bantus who are said to have close cultural and linguistic affinities with the Zigua people of northern Tanzania. The report was prepared by a former US Ambassador to Ethiopia, Prof David Shinn. [i know, I know all about him, but still...] It says that, since the defeat of the warlords and the rise of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), there has been "a significant increase" in outside engagement and accuses some of the countries of "meddling." It lists the 12 countries that it says are playing direct and indirect roles in the conflict and bankrolling either the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) or the Islamic Courts. The other countries involved are Djibouti, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iran and the US. The participants' individual interest in the conflict differ. For example, Ethiopia has a military presence in the country, but others have sent in arms and/or cash to either the Transitional Government or the Islamic Courts. Other countries like Uganda - which is not a Muslim country and had earlier shown little interest in the conflict - have now formally pledged troops for a proposed peacekeeping effort. The nature of the participation by countries such as Egypt and Libya is not clear, although they have been accused by TFG's Prime Minister Mohammed Gedi of arming either the Islamists or terrorists suspected to be operating in the country. The report says that although some of the countries have openly taken sides in the conflict, many have preferred to do so secretly. Indeed, not wanting to be in the bad books of the US, some of the countries like Saudi Arabia have publicly disassociated themselves from the radical Islamists. However, the report alludes to a lingering suspicion that charities in the kingdom could be bankrolling the Islamic Courts. The report says Somalia's immediate neighbours - Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti, all of which have Somali populations of their own - have legitimate reasons for taking more than a casual interest in the ongoing consolidation of power by the Islamists. "Prior to its disintegration, Mogadishu had a policy of actively seeking to incorporate these (Somali) populations as part of Somalia." It says this desire has recently been publicly expressed by some of the radicals in the Islamic Courts. And for the first time, the report tries to justify why Ethiopia went into Somalia to protect the interim government of President Abdullahi Yusuf. It says that Ethiopia and Somalia engaged in a protracted military conflict in 1977/78 over [soomaali Galbeed], which constitutes 25 per cent of Ethiopia's total land area. Though prone to drought, the area is rich in natural gas and has up to four million Somali inhabitants. It has been the subject of renewed conflict between Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's government, on the one hand, and the ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) and the United Western Somali Liberation Front (UWSLF) on the other. Prof Shinn says, "Addis Ababa worries that a hostile government in Mogadishu would strongly support ONLF and UWSLF and revive earlier goals of encouraging the Somali-inhabited areas of Ethiopia to join it. Ethiopia is also said to be concerned that its arch-enemy, Eritrea, has been supporting the UIC."
