Well done to the folks in Puntland this oil exploration is needed for an economically underdeveloped country like Somalia. What ever they get from this “oil” will have positive effect on other regions in Somalia, Inshallah in the same way Abu Dhabi’s effects Dubai. But where is this paranoia coming from, nobody wants Puntland to fail but the current administrations policy towards other parts of Somalia is what is causing animosity between the folks in the South and NorthWest against Puntland admin. The administration supports the Ethiopian aggression of the South and as a consequence they are disliked. Ngonge lool easy there adeer

Very unwise by Mr Turki

Abu G akhi who runs the show here, its simple the Yanks, the Ethiopians and TFG are just along for the ride. I really believe that if the ICU agree on things with UN, Europeans and US the Ethiopians and TFG have no option but to follow orders. Officially and for the media yes a bit of shaking hands and signing papers is needed to boost the stooges morale but in the under works tey have nothing to with.

Lool Isseh read my words carefully I said his agreement will be with the UN, these stooges only mimic what is told to them so he need not sit with folks that don’t contribute anything nor render any power in Somalia. What one has to understand is that this so called big shot Gabre is only sitting there because Uncle Sam is bank rolling his stay as soon as the Europeans and UN get some form of agreement, Uncle Sam will render his puppet Ethiopia useless. Of course the other scenario is the brave fighters of the resistance eradicating these Ethiopian mercenaries. North nothing new saxiib just this time even the western media is mocking the stooges

The faith of traitors is only one they get used like toilet paper by their masters (mocked at the same time) and they cannot go back to the people that they betrayed. Whether Sheikh Shariff manages to get peaceful agreement with the UN or whether the resistance get rid of their masters by force the destiny of traitors has already been written. These monkeys should learn from Mengistu’s faith today. Ps Ibti of course I have hope, these animals wont be there forever sooner or later the masses will win back their country

Pathetic bunch of loosers Malika I saw that, cueing up like a bunch slaves for master Gabre to give the go ahead. Even the western media were mocking them, “I am now going to the place where Mogadishu is ruled from! The Ethiopian Embassy” Inshallah soon the four mentioned and several other from this stooge government will face the justice when a true Somali state is born.

Feared Somali police chief packed peas for Tesco The man in charge of one of Africa’s most feared secret police services worked in Britain for Tesco until 18 months ago. Mohamed Warsame Nur ‘Darwiish’, who has been accused of war crimes in conflict-ravaged Somalia, was employed through an agency to drive trucks and pack peas at the supermarket giant’s depot near Daventry, Northants, until late 2006. Now he is General Darwiish, head of the National Security Agency (NSA), the Somali equivalent of the CIA, which is responsible for detaining and interrogating terrorist suspects. The agency is accused of unlawfully imprisoning and torturing hundreds of citizens and launching many other repressive security operations. Accused: General Darwiish in Somalia where he heads the secret police An investigation by The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine and a Channel 4 Dispatches programme discloses that his family still live in subsidised housing in Leicester. The investigation found that he is one of several Somali leaders linked to allegations of war crimes who have close links to Britain. Some members of the Somali government are believed to have even been given British citizenship, state benefits and a subsidised home in this country. All regularly commute between Somalia and their homes in Britain, where their families remain while they fight for the UK-backed President, Abdullahi Yusuf, who is accused of waging a tribal war. The president himself has links to Britain – in 1996, his life was saved by a liver transplant at London’s Cromwell Hospital. He comes back for regular check-ups, staying with relatives in Kilburn, North-West London. Somalia’s deputy police chief, Ahmed Hashi Tajir, originally from the Netherlands, spent six years living in Birmingham, where he worked for a car parts firm. His family remain in Spark Hill in Birmingham, where they receive child tax credit because his police salary – which is also subsidised by Britain, via a UN programme – is low. He said: ‘I was in Birmingham for six years. It is more open than Holland. England more open, yeah. And I was getting very, very good pay – £1,500 every four weeks. Plus attendance allowance. Plus quality bonus. Plus child tax credit.’ Former Somali interior minister Mohamed Guled Ga’amadheere is a British citizen, with a home and family in Leytonstone, East London. In 2007, he ordered that no international aid was to be distributed without undergoing a government inspection, an action the UN claims unnecessarily obstructed more than a million refugees receiving food and medical care. The former military chief of staff, the president’s spokesman and others are also thought to have families and homes in the UK.

This is an inspirational speech Yaser Arafat made to his people, when he was negotiating with the Zionist aggressors, one that befits our current struggle with the foreign Mercenaries. Many were upset that Arafat was conceding to much in the Oslo accord so he told his people this

There is a meeting to be held at the end of the month and we shall see what will be agreed upon. The Ethiopians are becoming weaker and will agree on anything their wild dream of ruling the horn has hit a brick wall and their puppets haven’t delivered what they promised them on 2004. So in that case the ICU have a strong bargaining power. However the dis-inclusion of Al Shabaab is what will make any agreement null and void, and I think Sheikh Sharif should have sought at least a majority consent amongst those who are resisting this occupation. However it is still not late and ICU can reconcile all the division within itself. The TFG have absolutely no say in this that is why the negotiation was between the ICU representatives and the UN.

Nasri is a done deal LOZ I would love to have Benzema at arsenal but its not easy the boy is in demand I would also like to see Yaya toure and vincent Kompany (for defence)

Thanks for the update Xiin I heard all points part two were agreed upon. We shall see in the coming days and weeks

I thought she might be a bit crazy, I have a soft spot for old folks I dont think I could just stand there and see the old lady get assaulted.

I saw this on the news yesterday the barbarism of this girl is shocking, http://youtube.com/watch?v=5eXNClwV5AM

Talk is good as long as the goals and the aims are put forth early by both parties. Agenda should be - Ethiopian withdrawal - Inclusive government - Preparation for next year - How to help the millions of displaced people That’s all I can think of for now

JZK for this lecture bro there is also a leture called "description of paradise" Yahya Ibrahim I enjoyed it very mcu

Piracy, check points, the indiscriminate killing of civilians and conflict is all rooted in one thing the Ethiopian occupation of Somalia the sooner one realises that the faster we can get to work in solving the problems on the ground. We can show a thousands pictures of Yey having noodles with the Dala Lama or playing Cricket with Prince Charles, but the fact of the matter is that man is an unpopular enemy to his people for his policies imposed an illegal occupation on the south. Time is running TFG supporters the four years of this regime has seen the Somali lively hood, economy and stability disintegrate I would advise yey to use his final days wisely, for the opposition can gladly sit this one out knowing time is in our hands.

Ibti the British are ungrateful let them experience some patchy time with the Tories they will come crawling back

What was the outcome, any statements released any progress... aside the praise for the politician who lied about the death of the clan spokesman in record on public media... less of the good talk and bring more of substance... Come on Emperor Ahmed Diiriye supposed death is something his whole clan believed unless you are saying the whole clan are inherently liars the Sheikh stated what everyone believed. (I would have said Ahmed Diiriya might have died if I was that question at that time). The Good Sheikh I presume conducted himself very well again

Does statements are quality And cheap Shish Kebab That’s it folks I have jumped ship (I was getting fed up with Sky rocketing Travel costs anyway) Ibti I still haven’t done them the first one is next week GB should hire me as his spin Dr, the first thing we would do is go to Trinny and Suzanne and get a celebrity make over (Its al about the image these days)

Toure, Brown's been a good exchequer by keeping up expendature to keep the economy afloat from recession, but his problem now is that he doesn't have a good exchequer who can do him the job he dd for TB. Well, I guess Labour's -1 and Tory's +12 is rather telling. Charisma and charm have thrashed sure-footed economics-mind . Here's a lesson for you lol. Crunching numbers ain't enough in politics, eh? Loool Isseh lesson well noted, Brown needs to spice up his life, it’s a shame he hasn’t got a good spin Dr like Alistair Campbell (being a guest at Richard and Judy and Jonathon Ross show might have done it for him). People no longer vote for policy/manifestos. It’s all about the personality/public image Northerner this the problem of democracy and letting every tom, dick and Harry vote. I am sure many voted for Boris just for a laugh and women vote for Cameron because he is better looking But if Boris wins lets see what he can do maybe his Turkish-ness will shine through

Worst electorate results in 40 years I am feeling it for labour. I like Brown but as PM he is out of his league (not his fault), it seems that people in Britain like men that waffle and talk a lot without any substance (TB and Cameron). If I was brown I would step down and give the Premier to one of the Primrose Hill gang namely David Miliband. Hopefully Ken will come through I voted for Paddick as my second choice (I don’t like the guy but it was a tactical vote)

Ina Illahi wa ina illa rajicun may Allah have mercy on the brave warrior

Let us follow your logic saxiib, everyone lays down arms and some how Ethiopia being the benevolent neighbour crosses back to its borders, What will stop it from coming back tomorrow when its interest is undermined?. It is simple saxiib a strong Somalia has never been in the interest of Ethiopia and they will do what ever they can to undermine it. That is the reason they stayed idle when TFG asked them deal with the warlords and as soon as one group became in control in the south they couldn’t wait to come in. A shift in the East African power balance is not what Ethiopia wants because we can challenge them on many things (******, higher fees at ports etc). Let them learn their lesson that you do not breach a nations sovereignty the way the USSR learnt its lesson in Afghanistan.
