^^Great minds think alike! LOL some people are too blind to accept reality.

Tima, No body said all of them are from Somali race. You don't have to get too technical...over 80% of Djiboutians are Somalis. It used to be called FRENCH SOMALILAND not AnfarLAND or ArabLAND... Case closed Nuune, If those from Somaliland, NFD, and Zone 5 in Ethiopia are Somalis according to you than, Djibouti is Somali state too.

^^waar ilayn anagaa wax aragnay. Who said I was proud of it? I could care less what color it posses. I changed mine already with red white and green. I was just making a point. How hard is that? Somalidu waa suntii ayaxa walaahi. Let me educate you a little about the reason Somalis selected the color of the Unites Nations. Since Somali states were scarred in five different colonial system and the hope of SOMALIWEYN was in the horizon, they thought the idea of being UNITED such as the UN will be suitable for all Somalis. Nothing more, nothing less. When Djibouti elected not joint the rest (thank ALLAH), the dream of Somali wayn died too. If Somali proper decide to change the color of their flag accordingly, that will remain to be seen.

Violet, Ok. I don't think that is a good move. GOD HELP POOR SOMALIS in xamar. Religion is huge factor in Somali culture. African KUFAR will do more harm than good including rape. Lets face it, African men are very attracted Somali women. Country with no law and order plus poverty, they will take advantage of these poor walaahi. P.s. I'm serious about the flag. Somalis posses all versions of the BLUE color not knowing there is a huge difference between Dark Blue and sky blue. Go to some of these demonstrations and you will see what I’m talking about. They have the entire rainbow in blue. And those are the diasporas once such as DUKE and TAAKO. They should know better. People ask me all the time…what is the actual color of Somali flag. I tell them it’s the replica of the UN’s and they go than why……do I se….blah blah.

Faarax, Saaxiib we're talking about DUKE here. He would deny his own mother for the spot light.

Violet, Did they say there are ground African troops in Mogadishu or they were just debating about the deployment? P.S. You have the right color of the Somali flag. Why didn’t you educate Duke, Taako and others and tell them the color of the flag they're waving isn't the right one?

Djiboutis are Somalis! I didn't know egypt has PM!

They see a man with uniform and they think Jesus landed back on planet earth. Guess what, I saw UFO last night right out side of my living room.

CEEB…ma sidaaasaa dad u dambaysay. What do Koshin and GD have in common? They're both uneducated self appointed diplomats for their own UNCLE. How could you hold a press conference and submit a resume provided with fabricated education background? Didn’t he know it takes one simple phone call to the admissions office?

What is the matter with you guys? These great African nations are working so hard to solve these persistent Somali problems. Don't you see? Over 20,000 well trained Americans troops with the help of the UN couldn't do it when most of the people in Mogadishu had no gunz. So why not few thousands of HUNGARY weak Africans take crack at it? They might do the job and liberate us all. The truth is, these greedy African leaders are in the business of funneling few dollars down to their personal account from the EU and the US. They will bounce out as soon as they accomplish their personal goals. After all of this is said and done, the people in Mogadishu will pay the ultimate prize and Yey will go down the biggest warlord and the biggest traitor in Somali history.

How come Somalis are the only society who put more emphasis with the presidency when there is a PM in the government? How many of you can tell the name of the Ethiopian president or the Iraqi president? It’s the PM that makes all the decisions in general. How come Yey has his hands in the cookie jar in every aspect of this so-called government?

Faanoole is no more dawg. Bal no sheeg waxaad so wado?

Hady intaasoo sarkaa oo xabshiya meel isku keeneen miyay qarxiyaan ...cowards.

LOL@ friendly fire, Friendly fire is when incidents occur by accident among friends. This was deliberate attack by Shifto who wants to free their family members. I wouldn’t say it was a war nor should I classify it as FRIENDLY FIRE.

Ok, send me the bill!

Is there penalty posting it again? I like it so post it here. Is that a crime bro? BTW, This is not an article.....

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF Here’s the ethos of Somalia, as a former Mogadishu resident explained it to me: “If I use a dollar to buy food, then tomorrow I have nothing. If I use a dollar to buy a bullet, then I can eat every day.” That enterprising can-do spirit has turned most of Somalia into the poster child of a failed state, where you feel underdressed without an assault rifle. But wait! Here in the north of the carcass of Somalia is the breakaway would-be nation of Somaliland, and it is a remarkable success — for a country that doesn’t exist. The U.S. and other governments don’t recognize Somaliland, so the people here get next to zero foreign aid. And when the “country” was formed in 1991, it had been mostly obliterated in a civil war and was a collection of ruins and land mines. Yet the clans and elders here formed their own government, held free elections and even established an international airline. Relying on free markets and a general exhaustion with violence, the people of Somaliland embraced tranquillity and democracy and searched for ways to make a buck. Walk down the streets of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, and instead of gunmen you come across the thriving jewelry and financial market: scores of vendors, most of them women, are hawking millions of dollars worth of gold, precious stones and foreign currency out in the open air. (Don’t try that at home!) Continue down the street, and you see that Hargeisa has police cars, DHL service, cable television, orthodontists, a multitude of Internet cafes and traffic jams (including the horses and camels). There are public schools and hospitals — even a public library. This is a conservative Muslim country, yet it is generally pro-American and tolerant. In the last election, more women voted than men. Women’s groups are fighting the traditional practice of genital mutilation, administered to 97 percent of girls here. The lesson of Somaliland is simple: the most important single determinant of a poor country’s success is not how much aid it receives but how well it is run. If a country adheres to free markets and good political and economic governance, it will generate domestic and foreign investments that dwarf any amount of aid. As President Dahir Rayale Kahin told me: “There is a proverb in our country: ‘You can wash your body only with your own hand.’ Outsiders can help, but the indigenous people must find a solution themselves.” One lesson is that Western countries should not only increase their financial aid but also their pressure for better governance. It’s great to forgive debts, but not graft or antimarket policies. The U.S. Millennium Challenge aid program, which promotes good governance, is a useful step in that direction. So is Tony Blair’s program to battle corruption in Africa. One useful kind of Western aid is simply support for civil-society groups that battle corruption. Here in Somaliland, the press is generally free, but the president recently tossed three journalists in prison for reporting on corruption in his family. If Western countries speak out strongly in their defense, that effort may be worth a few million dollars in aid by reducing corruption in the future. More peer pressure from within Africa would also help. Other African countries should stand up to a racist like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe with the same vigor they once used to stand up to white racist governments. Another essential kind of foreign aid is supporting market-friendly economic policies, especially those that would nurture manufacturing industries. In Mauritania, whose location in northwestern Africa would be ideal for exporting clothing to Europe and America, it takes 82 days to start a new business, which would then have to make 61 tax payments each year, requiring 696 hours to calculate and pay. And in the end, the tax would amount to 104.3 percent of the profit, according to the World Bank. All that explains why you don’t have any shirts in your closet labeled “Made in Mauritania.” So let’s be more generous with foreign aid, giving more than 22 cents per $100 of national income to development assistance (the average for rich countries is 47 cents). But those of us who call for aid and debt forgiveness also need to push just as hard for recipient nations to improve their governance, for ultimately the best way for poor countries to prosper is to adopt pro-growth policies. And in the meantime, it’s time to recognize Somaliland as a nation. When a place does this well, we should hail it as a model, not shun it.

Few shifto guys atacking the jail isn't a war!

Mogadishu is a war zone. Sympathy doesn't play any roll in the front line.... however, woman and children must be off limit.

^^Nop.

Somali websites aren’t credible. Sheeko kale ma haysaa saaxiib. BTW, why is your signature so crowded? You have a lot going on with the SHAHAADA and the flying of the DEAD flag next to it among other things.... I SENSE some in insecurity.
