By far the best game I have seen this season, what a game, where is A&T arshavin just answered you tonight. Nuune our striker and centre backs were again all over the place but the midfield no word to describe the midfield, Song & Arshavin were sensational tonight. the Jew played very well for you guys

These are the side effects of freedom of speech, many of the fine arts such as carefully calculated caricatures, songs and poems with double meanings are lost, leaving us with lack lustre performance from modern artist. Now compare AA to Saado Cali Land cruiser song http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=Tmg4CeYkh yw

JB the question can be reversed back to, you have sought independence for the last 18 years what makes 2009 any different. For me it is really simple the president unlike previous leaders is sincerely on a peaceful path and I am not sure (although early signs show he is succeeding) but I hope his will be the government that builds the foundation for the Republic of Somalia. Ducaysane Dr Mohamed Warsame Ali "Kiimiko" is the President of Galmudug State of a vast region in central Somalia, the man is a big dog in south and central regions.

lol come on saxiib dont compare me to that crazy chap , this was just a polite reminder to good old Jb who used the picture in another thread

This has nothing to do with Support adeer, the Somali Presidential post is the most powerful post in the Horn of Africa. Riyaale, Faroole, Kimiko are powerful governors but there is only one President of the Republican. Ps: of course when you get the recognition we will reassess my claim edit Juje saxiib I dont find the picture funny but will tolerate it

Lool the President of the Republic of Somalia holds the most powerful post in greater Somalia which happens to be located in the Horn of Africa.

tactically wrong song and nasri should have been on, and any team with silvester in the back is bound to loose. We need to world class centre backs

No need saxiib the President is not bothered, too busy building a great nation

Tasteless picture but nevertheless comes with the territory of being the most powerful man in the Horn of Africa,

Mashallah great pictures, we just need security and everything else will come into place. JB still hating I see, the President of the Republic is not bothered by silly pictures adeer

Very good move by the government, we need to show the international community that Somalia is the only country capable of tackling Somali piracy and the Somali government is where they should pour resources and energy in order to tackle Piracy.

Elizabeth Kennedy Thursday, April 16, 2009 NAIROBI, Kenya - Somalia's prime minister says his government has identified many pirate leaders and would be willing to share that information with other countries, including the United States, to get the resources needed to go after them. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Khalil Senosi Somalia's Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke speaks during an interview with The Associated Press in Nairobi, Kenya, Thursday April 16, 2009. Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, speaking Thursday to The Associated Press in an exclusive interview, said the pirates have become so wealthy and powerful that they threaten his government. "We have information on who is behind this, who is involved," Sharmarke said in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. "There is a lot of money flowing in ... we are following very closely how money is distributed here." He was referring to the fact that pirates can earn $1 million US or more in ransom for each hijacked ship. Forty-two ships were hijacked by pirates from Somalia last year, and so far 19 have been taken this year. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday announced new diplomatic efforts to freeze the pirates' assets and said the Obama administration will work with shippers and insurers to improve their defences against pirates. "These pirates are criminals, they are armed gangs on the sea. And those plotting attacks must be stopped," Clinton said in Washington. Clinton did not call for military force, although she mentioned "going after" pirate bases in Somalia. She urged the U.S. officials and others to "explore ways to track and freeze" pirate ransom money and other funds used in purchases of new boats, weapons and communications equipment. Sharmarke said the Somali government was presenting a plan to envoys from the European Union, the United States and a regional authority to fight pirates by building up military forces and establishing intelligence-gatheri ng posts along its coastline. "The best way to actually deal with this is to prevent (the pirates) from going into the waters," Sharmarke said. "We are planning to establish at least ten or more observation posts on the coastline." Still, it was not clear how this plan could cover the 3,100-kilometre Somali coastline, since his government controls only a few square blocks of the capital, Mogadishu, with the aid of African peacekeepers. Donors have also been reluctant to fund a government with little accountability but the recent spike in piracy attacks may change that. Pirates are holding more than 280 foreign crewmen captive on 15 ships - at least 76 of those sailors captured in recent days. Meanwhile, the American sea captain held hostage for five days by pirates reached port in Kenya on Thursday, hours after his crew held a joyous reunion with their families at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Capt. Richard Phillips of the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama cargo ship was brought into Mombasa harbour aboard the USS Bainbridge, which docked to the music of "Sweet Home Alabama" - the Lynyrd Skynyrd hit that includes the words "I'm coming home to you." Phillips, 53, of Underhill, Vt., gave himself up as a hostage to ensure the safety of his crew. He was freed Sunday by navy SEAL sharpshooters who killed his three captors. Phillips planned to spend Thursday night on the Bainbridge, according to Maersk shipping line spokesman Gordan van Hook. He would not say when Phillips planned to fly home but a charter plane is reportedly on standby at Mombasa airport. There were hugs, tears and a massive sense of relief when the crew of the Maersk Alabama finally reunited with loved ones after arriving at 1 a.m. Thursday at Andrews. One crewman, carrying a child toward the terminal, shouted, "I'm happy to see my family!" Another exclaimed, "God bless America." Also Thursday, another U.S. cargo ship, the Liberty Sun, arrived in Mombasa, its bridge damaged by rocket-propelled grenades and its windows shattered by gunfire after a pirate attack Tuesday. The Liberty Sun's 20 American crew members crew successfully blockaded themselves in the engine room and warded off the attack with evasive manoeuvres. The ship had been carrying food aid for Africans. The European Union said Thursday it is boosting its anti-piracy fleet off the Somali coast to 11 ships, with the addition of three Swedish frigates in May. Its main task is to escort cargo ships carrying World Food Program aid to hungry Somalis. Nearly a dozen countries, including the United States, have anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and off the Somali coast. The Gulf of Aden, which links the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, is the shortest route from Asia to Europe. More than 20,000 ships cross the vital sea lane every year.

Thierry Come on Ngonge We all know that if you keep it tight against Liverpool for 60 mins they will calm down from the hyper frantic start and loose the game even Fake Madrid got back in the last 20 mins. Bayern are without their key stricker klose for 6 weeks and Barca play better football than Chelsea who will beat you with Drogba and the man of the moment Essien When you have been observing this sport for so long the pattern becomes simple. Arsenal vs Barca final

Although the sentiments are there, we cannot condone piracy in any shape or form. Two wrongs don’t make it right. The Somali predicament has been highlighted albeit by wrong means (piracy) now we need to quickly flip it to our advantage (policies that build stronger government and protects our shores).

^^ What an amazing game for 90 mins I was a Liverpool fan, you are right Norf your back centre backs were dreadful tonight. Arsenal for the double this season lads. :cool:

very nice article Nur, although we cannot condone the actions of pirates, greater crimes are committed by those who complain.

OZ I refer back to my comments when the draw was made, if Essien plays he will terrorize any midfield for me he is the most complete midfielder since Patrick viera.

Mr Jihadi JayZ What are you still doing here young 16 year olds who talk less have gone for the cause you “believe in”. I thought you was Mr Tough guy who controls from Kismayo to Mogadishu why don’t you go over and roll with your homie Goodane. Lool you have just promoted the best online source for Islamic literature so cheers for that. The way you disrespect the Ulema shows how desperate you and the Imam of Tora Bora mountains is (lool I loved the tape of how he wants to wage Jihad from those rocky mountains). Secondly I wouldn’t know who is hot and not in Hip Hop its you area of expertise (clown got the nerve to tell us to use our time effectively). With regards to the topic at hand I cant view that video from the UK but reading from your script Zenawi is trying to take care of his backyard and our leader could care less whether Zenawi, Obama or Imam Tora Bora approves of him.

Mr Jihadi JayZ You are as confused as ever why don’t you switch of the Apple Mac you are using and replace the 16 year old your courageous leaders were trying to brainwash http://www.somaliaon line.com/ubb/ultimat ebb.php?/topic/9/181 28. Adeer day by day we will peel away the young boys that you have duped into killing their own people, and when that’s done those weak fools that lead you will be brought to justice. In the mean time enjoy the Hip Hop I hear DMX is back in concert maybe you can get some more spiritual guidance. Abu Diaby This is a classic trait of those who deviate (Kashafa) when they cannot reason they start to insult. Bin Ladan called Sh Bin Baz (ra) a puppet scholar because the Sheikh disagreed with his radical methods.

It was very simple task for Chelsea shut down Gerrard and we will be through and Essien the beast didnt let him breath, Torres was good but received no support in the second half.

lool I have heard these stories before Nur, the scholars got jokes

Lol I am not telling him to hush the brother has every right to criticize the government, and I will defend it where I deem it defensible. As for your first question it is clear to everyone that both men are different, the current President calls for negotiations and settling our differences through dialogue, the old President followed his predecessors (ultimate power by any means). President Sharif has taken new and innovative route to solving our problems and that’s through peaceful negotiations. As for the second question 3 months is too soon to judge any one saxiib, however he has already got the legitimacy of the Ulema, groups such as Xisbu Islam are stopping violence and not to mention that Mogadishu is more peaceful than anytime in the last 2 years leading to many refugees in Afgooye camps to come back.

Congratulation JB, Amiin to all th duas, may she become a pious and a loving daughter to her parents.

Saxiib before you get a head of your self read in the context that I wrote this. Meiji a southerner has sincere concerns it is his and my backyard that foreign troops will be deployed. When I say local men I mean popular folks who have governed the city successfully in 2006 and not the likes of Maxamed Dheere or Abdi Qaybdeed who are also local men. This government of course is also lead by many men and women who come from all parts of Somalia.
