Any armed men that came under the order of the President and his government such as PM Gedi, Gen. Naji and so forth. Anyone can distinguish them from maleeshiyada iska yaaceeyo ee Sudi, Qanyare, Indhacade and their likes.

Originally posted by Jumatatu: ^^Yep.! You are right sxb..! The government will prevail in this war with the help of the Ethiopian troops...and that is what you want. I just wish to be somewhere next to you when you get disappointed. Words are over now, especulating is out of the window. Just promise me something that there want be any callcal in the end. Somalida waxay ku maahmaahda 'ama afeef hore lahow ama adkeysi dambe'. Goverment troops are not there to attack to anyone but they will defend the temp. capital. Jowhar is not Kismayo nor Baidao and if war brokes out the warlords will lose out. No calacal whatsoever. whatever happens my loyalty will be with the goverment troops and i'm proud for their courage.

I don't think large scale war is going to happen if any at all. I think the government will at last prevail and not warlords. The only thing that the government has to do is to keep its nerve and wait patiently.

Nice pics sxb. I know my geography in that part of the world is not that good but could you just explain where Dallo maunt is situated. Is it part of Buurta sheekh or is it in a different place. mount surad in buuraha Daallo I noticed that you said buuraha Dallo. Is dallo then silsilad that suurad is part part of it.

Duke waxaanba filaayey in aad SOL wax ka soo xereeyneysid. Maacaleesh calafka ayaa iska qoran. Allaha ka dhigo guurkaaga kii lagu nasto ee lagu nagaado. Barakallaahu Laka, Wabaaraka Calyka wajamaca baynakumaa Khayraa. Amiin.

Yes she was out of the topic several times but also mis information about lack of aid from foriegn countries to Somaliland. I don't know why she was not admiting the aid that her country gets from britian, EU etc.

Yes I am Just watching her. the programme is started 3min ago.

A series of bomb attacks on London's transport network has killed more than 30 people and injured about 700 others. Three explosions on the Underground left 35 dead, two died in a blast on a bus and another died later in hospital. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the bombings had "the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda-related attack". Prime Minister Tony Blair promised the "most intense police and security service action to make sure we bring those responsible to justice". My condolances goes to all affected by this horrible crime.

Olol let us deal with the so called Sokeeye first! As they say Habar fadhida lagdin wax uga fudud. sxb ha halaagin masaakiintaas aan heysan wax aan nolol lagu tilmaami karin ee waliba aad ugu baahan dowladnimo. Yeey is there and commands lots of support in most of the country unlike warlord thugs in Mogadisho.

maybe it was bleak for the president few months back for his inaction but know him and his gov are taking the initiative. They outmonuvoring the warlord thugs in mogadishu while they building thier support in many regions. I can understand why some people want him to fail because him putting right policis, strategies and work plans unlike his adversaries in Mog.

Allow sharkeeda nadhaafi iyo intii muslim ah.

Thank Allah. He left before more bloodshed and that must be very good news for those peace loving somalis in Baideo and beyond. Its also best outcome for the Government.

All those unholy alliences want to stop inevertable THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ORDER, SYSTEM, GOVERNMENT ETC. I'm sure they won't succeed insha allah.

Remember lately Baidoa was a place of clam and many troops were moved to other parts of Bay& Bakool.. Again by moving early Yusuf Inda Cade has shown his move. Aydeed Jr and co , had 40 Technicals taken from them in the battle for Baidoa in 1999. There is understanding between mogadishu warlords who ever is going to fight outside of mogadishu they lend hand and this is no different if confermed. Adan Madobe doesn't have a foothole in baidao as he is strong in Xudur. Now he is organising his supporters with Shatigaduud's and they may wait for few more days to see whether indhacade quits or not. Without intervention they can't kick him out of the city. He may chase them to the border as he said when interviewed. the guy has a military power. I'm not sure whether they want to fight him in the city even if they can. The guy (Indhacade) is lunatic he will burn the city if he feels he is loosing it so they need to be very careful how to challenge him without city being burn.

Indhacade is true to his word by attacking any place in south that supports the government of gedi & yeey. Now he naturalised baydhabo his next move is Jawhar. in fact Max'd dhere arrived in jowhar anticipating imminant threat from indhacade, sudi and co. All eyes are on Yeey will he support his friends and move some of his most loyal army from Pland or ask his closest friend Zanawi to intervene? One thing is sure though as long as Indhacade, Sh. aways and other mogadishu warlords have liberty to attack where they want in their choosen time this infant government will stay dream.

I think declaring jihad to coming peacekeeping army gives lot of ammunitions to the pro african peacekeeping. They only distroying support that US government has giving to the opponants of the frontline states. Time will tell whether his declared jihad receives backing by the people of mogadishu and somalis in general.

Horn sxb thanx for the replay i'll try to address some of the points you raised. First of all I have some evidence but most of it are things that i found when I reviewed motion and its outcome. 1. I never said A/Y is a nationalist but the motion overlaped with his interest. For practical reasons the president didn't want large Ethiopean Army in Somalia that can undermine his presidence. But he wanted someone to take responsiblity for their rejection. His supporters understood that as well as his opponants his displeasure of their inclusion with the peacekeeping force. Now amxaars blame mogadishu warlords ( and to some extent the mps) for their failure to be attached with IGAD peacekeepers. 2.Kenyan politician Farah Ma'alim said he was part of a group who had discussion with the speaker of the parliament so they can delay the meeting of the parl for few days while IGAD meeting fishes. And issues the exclusion of amxaaro to any somali peacekeeping mission. How on earth IGAD can indorse any mission that needs UN Security Councill resoulution which the US plainly told IGAD partners their desire to veto any peacekeeping in somalia that inclusive with frontline states. It's just that his supporters were not very large in numbers concering this motion. It proves my point. He had a majority when he was elected then when pm was approved so why they shrinked in this motion? Because he never mobalised them in the first place. 3. I think if the president was honest about this particular issue he could call all his supports in and outside of Nairobi to attend so they can vote. Any mp who is not attending may influace others who share with him view and tribal connection to vote for one way or another. 4. If you are speaking about the legislative branch of the government, then yes they have shown their disdain in bringing in Ethio troops. BUT the executive branch of government headed by Prime Minister Gheedi and the supposedly symbolic president were more then happy to include them. So if things are that clear then how on earth only 55 voted in favour of the motion? Believe me these people are more aware of their long term disavantages if amxaaro army arrive in somali soil with the approval of our people. They also want to use them and avoid their wreath when they change their positions. Did you ever ask youself what will happen to this infant goverment if the minsters clearly reject the axaaro inclusion with the peacekeepers? They will be finished with no time. Remember what happen to A/Qasim when he openly challenged amxaaro. 5.About omar masale the time is up for him. the guy played game with amxaaro but lost it. Now I don't know whether Zanawi sensed how the game is developing or not. That is my only concern at the moment.

What happened in the Somali parliament last week must be one one of the oldest tricks in the book. The president Yusuf got what he wanted so did the parliament: No Ethiopean troops in the Somali soil. Ask yourself these questions then you may start to understand the stage managed grand show at Grand Regency hotel. Why did the speaker of the parliament insisted parliament meeting to discuss the motion even though Kenyan government made clear that IGAD will exclude the frontline states? Why not the president didn't encourage his supporters at the parliament to vote in favour of the motion setting his arguement clearly? Surely an issue as great as this one the president must mobalise his support in the parliment. Why didn't the president reject the motion outright? He has too many reasons to reject the motion, one of them is how widespead violence overshadowed the casting of the vote. Writing letter to the speaker of the house asking him to rethink of the motion shows the president accepted the process although he shows some dissatifaction with the outcome. Why many mps especially those who support the government are out of the country only to miss the voting of the motion? The example being number of minsters and mps in Biadao who sent back the plane that should take them back to Niarobi without any safisfactory reason. Now let me explain why the government wanted amxaaro to be excluded from the peace keepers. All somali political class agree that Amxaaro never supported one leader or group but always maintains link with so-called leader and no2 or no3. Why because they never trusted any somali to be their loyal servent. Consider this; mr yeey was once most loyal one ended up in prison for not totally obeying their desires. Omar masale was also once used amxaaro to kick al ittihaad from Gedo. But when he accepted Cairo peace process they armed his no2 to disroy him. Similar thing happen to RRA, Muse sudi and so forth. So mr yeey used Amxaaro to claim the power but he is not fool. He is too intellegent to get Ethio army in somalia so they will have the liberty to undermine him. But why not the president himself oppose the amxaaro if he didn't want them in the country? I think the simple explanation is that if he did in that way and fasion then amxaaro will start distroying the mr yeey's infant governtment. It is therefore, sensible to use the parliament, Kenyan born polititions such as Farah Malim, international community and somali public to reject amxaaro involvement while the somali goverment demonstarates their tireless work to include the amxaaro with the peacekeepers. The president and his governement are no deferent then those somali regions that have border with amxaaro. Most of them never demonstrate or voice their disquite against the involvement of the amxaaro in somali peace keeping mission. Did you ever asked yourself why places like mogadishu, Juba regions and shabelle regions demonstrate against anything that relates with the amxaaro. So the president, the PM and the parliament where all in agreement that the parliament and the public should reject the inclusion of amxaaro with any peacekeeping in somalia. Therefore, I think it was mere show to confuse the amxaaro so they support somali government thinking that the only somalis that have any sympathy for them are the government and its leadership. But what about the blood and the harm that happene in the parliament? No pain will ever compatible with having large army in the country that only harm averybody. My only question is will the amxaaro buy that and keep supporting this infant government or will they start smelling the fish and turn the heat up for mr yeey?

These guys are reactionaries but their agreement if just 1/4 of it implemented then they will become true leaders and win the arguement. There are some clauses that may create some potentail conflicts such as these ones. 23. Waxaanaan marnaba aqbali doonin in ay dalkeena yimaadaan ciidamada wadama Soomaaliya xuduuda la leh bad iyo bariba. knowing that pro ethiopean mps are majority in the parliament. 24. waxaanan ogolaaneynin in Baarlamaanka la keeno dood ku saabsan ciidamadda dowladaha xuduudka leh soomaaliya bad iyo bariba in ay dalka yimaadaan, iyadoo arrintaas horay looga heshiiyey shirweynihii dib u heshiisiinta ee socday mudada labada sono aheyd ee lagu dhisay dowladda federaalka kmg soomaaliyeed. Will this be seen by other groups black mail to the parliament? Will they quit the parliament and the government if parliament start debating the issue? Will they ever have a chance to prove to the world and somalis whether their agreement is going to stick or not? Next few days things will become more clearer.
