Hope to see plenty of change in the next 2years, by the way, splendid speech. The time has come for the state to take charge of all matters. due to the last 17 years, every government post has been filled by either a NGO, a wadaad or a warlord. So to take it back is a must, since it's the only way to get back our statehood.

lool..it's ridiculous how it takes 500-700 words to get a point across, and yet not be able to get it across.

May allah have mercy on all of the innocent who died in this madness,, surely it's sad to see anyone enjoying the killings of innocents. All we can do is pray for them, and may allah reward them Jannah inshallah,,and scripted in the holy quran.."every soul should taste death"..the use of excess force in a densely populated areas should be codemn...however the cowards throwing bombs and creating insecurity in those regions are equal in the blame and are responsible for the lost of many lifes...regardless of their political stand, it's hypocrisy at it's height to kill, and drag bodies in the streets and cry when you get hit back.... even more disgusting is to give elementary kids grenade bombs to throw in the market...HOW DISHONERABLE IT IS TO WAGE RESISTANCE BEHIND YOUR MOM"S HOUSE AND GIVE YOUR LITTLE BROTHERS BOMB TO GO THROW....walahi that's more disgraceful than anything I have ever seen....insurgents who are hiding behind their mom's skirts...what is the TFG and their ally ETHIOS supposed to do wen this cowards are running around killing everyone, offcourse they will strike back.....and then the insurgents cry loud afterwards...ufff shame on them...so be patient folks, been waiting long enough for these insurgents who have been holding our capital on hostage step aside....but know they will be tamed from the face of this earth inshallah...

Axmed Diriye, Xaad, Abdiqasin, and others similar have no power to help Geedi now, nor any meeting with them could change his destiny. Surely, edoo geedi is history now, either the Barlamanka will sack him or his boss,Yeey, will have to fire him ultimatly. But one thing is for sure, Geedi has failed miserable, and too have him longer will be madness.

Juje, this is long been overdue saxiib, and Geedi is beyond incompetency, Geedi= No brainer... This government needs to get on track before the 2009 elections, and I hear Gacma Dheere is on top of the list of candidates..... I doubt they will be any setbacks to the TFG if Geedi is removed willingly or unwillingly,..The TFG troops with the help of their neighbours are on high alert and have enough troops to contain any emotional outburst in Xamar....So Juje, according to your sources, where does Gacma Dheere rank dee, I mean afterall him and Bubba are the most experienced and qualified in that cabinet.

hopefully the fire comes under controlled, however what is the TFG supposed to do if these markets are becoming shelters for the insurgents, meanwhile used to constantly attack the government troops.....To be honest, I would not be suprised if there was some fire exchanged, which ignited the fire at the paint warehouse.....anywayz, if these businessmens don't get their shiit together, and then it would be reasonable to burnt it down..rite??? wat difference there is between ONE who attacks the TFG troops, and ONE who shelters the attackers....No difference, therefore both should be punished severely...

Fellas, there is notting noble about killing babies and mothers??? without no doubt, we all know that ICU= Inda"cadde, Aweys and their cousins. The remenants have no caliber within the ICU. Wonder suddenly how they rise from the ashes, huh!!!!! I have no sympathy for the ICU or anyone whop supports them for they choose their destiny, and invited Ethiopia to my country.....For those ICU supporter, good luck liberting Somalia, and please be more pro-Active.

Inda'cadde is not controversial in my opinion. If anyone knew the situation in the occupied region before the arrival of Inda'Cadde, then they merit Inda'Cadde, and would consider him to be like heaven on earth...Fellas, the occupied region has experienced peace N stability since the takeover of Inda"cadde. Yes, people had to pay taxes(like everywhere in the modern world), yes trees were burnt for charcoal for $$$$4 (like PL & SL), yes drugs were planted in many areas for cash again, but there was law N order (similar to other peaceful states like Puntland& Somaliland). Well there is other records that some people may say its controversial (such as the meddling with the Jubba affairs and suppotting one side over another. Yes, there was some clashes couple times with folks from Northeastern, N thats about it....Howeva, nothing is controversial about this fella beside dat he was on the winning side all along until the ultimatum defeat a.K.a seven day war......In fact, Inda'cadde is the standard leadership for successful regions such PL & SL...., the problem lays in his Wadaadnimo character and sending 3,000 children under the age of 14yrs old to Jihad massacre, meanwhile him and his cousin(Aweys) escaping to Asmara for a tea party" ...

LoooL, sometimes I find people in this forum to be funny, offcourse shabelle is shut down for misbehaving, spreading propaganda, inciting hatred and inaccurate reporting of news and etc...... STANDARD JOURNALISM kumalaho, lool....dat's wat I mean wen I say funny people in SOL!!!!!

Fellas, this is progress for nationalists and a Big Blow to those fascist in Asmara, and their incapables in the diaspora (barking foolishly "we will liberate Somalia from their living room...lol" however the scale of graduates should have been more like 4,000 instead of 600. very shortly, the insurgency will be crashed, it all comes down to time.

C'mon fellas, Baashi there's no way you can be neutral due to the previous post. please explain little in detail about "On insurgency. Again it won't be effective if the folks who are waging it are from part of HG clans only."

DUKE... Some of my family members got their properties back, and currently our is on trial, waiting to hear the result... Even though we have the papers, but the family that is living there has also forged papers. However, the case is leaning to our side saxiib, hopefully everyone that lost their property get it back.

Great article Saafi!!! Really, I feel the same way about ICU....I was a die hard supporter during their earlier phase, however it become obvious that it was not a pure Islamic movement during the latter development, rather it was a secular movement under the disguise of Islam... Some of ya may ask evidence?? Well, ICU consisted of different groups with different interests, the pure ones were few, whereas the majority of them were tribally motivated and evil warlords. Hence, they were set up for failure and were doomed.

HORN, your argument is understood N well explained, however Ethiopia's interest in Somalia is simple, which is security and economy. REMEMBER, Zenawi and his Tegray Boys took over Miguste through Somalia..I mean they were funded and armed by the military regime in Somalia and U.S. IF the Etho's leave know, YES THEY WILL BE A POWER VACUUM IN SOUTHERN SOMALIA..those who think it will not then make a case for your argument....After all, I can assure you tribal conquest and Indhocadde Boys will reemerge once again, N everything will start from scratch. The solution forward is to allow the 8,000 AMISOM troops to come in Somalia N after 6 months be replaced by 20, 000 U.N troops to keep the peace and some train our arm forces. Once their is the U.N troops in Somalia, only then COMES THE END to the Ethiopian's influence in Somalia.....

More troops are needed ASAP in order to reduce the Etho's troops gradually and ultimatly replace the Etho's troops. Very good news for the somali people if it's true.

Folks, Afgadud got sacked for being part of the problem, however the Boys in cascas Hotel(Barre's boys) will be dealt with as well. Really, Kismayo is a MINOR issue so far yet to be considered a MAJOR nor THREAT. But let me assure you folks, the kismayo issue will be solved in timely matter.

Cadde is a military man (in fact a colonel), hence not the best pick for a head of state.
