Unnecessary war. Ilaahow Muslimka sooman ee maskiinta ah badbaadi. Aamin. Alshabaab's so much for 'waan soo afjaraynaa' Alshabaab bootadoodu waxay noqotay sidi tii qaladaamiintii Hargeisa ka imaan jireen oo kale. Ala style of 'Deeee wallaan laba badh kaa dhigayaa' lool

Ummadan maxay wax buun-buunis iyo collaad kahelaan. Waar Ilaahay kabaqa oo dhiiga shacabka daadanaya qaboojiya.

Well done Ilko-mouse It doesn't even make sense why would two brotherly subclans from East/West Bari fight each other. Atom was a threat to the peace and trinquality of the whole region of Bari both its East and West, and was righly removed.

Asalamu Alaykum, and Ramadaan Kariim to you first of all. My question relates to the legality of Stock market trading and/or specially the Forex - currency trading, according to Islamic Sharia law?

Ramadaan Kariim to you all

Adeer don't capatalise on nonesense, Atom is on the run. He was no signifact individual before all this saga started, the problem was the little brainwashed kids he amassed in the area, and that's no more and will never be allowed that to happen again... it is as simple as that, marka halkaa uga har, this issue is not big deal waa finised business

Libaahe, unlike you we don't wish bad for SL but on this note, Atom is a gonner, his backboke was fully broken Yesterday and has no chance to regroup and no Puntland forces would never allow that again, never.

The people of Awdal proadly wave the Somali flag

^Lool adigu kaama uusan qaateen, laakiin JB ayaa runta usheegay intaasu kuqancay A desperate secessionist indeed!

Asha Abdalla although an MP ins the Somali parliament a good lady on occassions, she is big time wrong on this one. Maamada Caadifad qabiil ayaa qaaday, waxay isku khaldaysaa Atom Ideology-giisa iyo qabiilkiisa. That's the problem she is confusing his reer and what the man stands for...

To SL, I can tell you that Mr Atom and his fleeing militia run towards Sanaag, El-Afwayn and may be even Burco. That's the authendticated news we are getting from Battle fronts... I can guarantee you that the information I am getting right now from Bosaaso is the man and his militia didn't run to the east but the west and went for SL. They know Puntland have remorse for and will be a sloaghter trap if they run to east. Therefore, Mr. Atom is no longer Puntland's problem but that of Somaliland... Firxadkiisa kafiiriya Burco, that is if they did not start their bombing and killing of innocents in Hargeisa. Yaa seccessionists beware and be careful for what you wish for...

This was Hunguri's take on things about two weeks ago. Let's wait for his 'Xaqiida dhabta ah' at the monent when he comes back.

^As one of the founding fahters/mothers of Awdal state, Xidigo went to claim her seat in the formation of the new administration of Awdal state of Somalia.

This movement was at the stage of birth at the time, it seems the movement have recieved great momentum since and is going with the speed of light... Waar seccessionist=ow kawareegy yaanay kujiirinee!

This is a welcome development, a good step to realising the federal system that was good route for solving the never ending Somali problem and towards attaining a greater Somalia in the form of federation. Advice to my seccessionist brothers in Hargeisa is to smell the coffee and seek this route before its too late and reality catches upto them. Aslo my call to the TFG and Puntland government is to support and co-operate with new federal state of Awdal in order to achieve their goal of installing local admin and government structures in Awdal.

^Adeer how many times do we have to tell you, Atom is no different than Godane, other than that go entertain yourselves else where.. Go and deal with the new state of Awdal that is part of the federal Somalia. FYI, Puntland will extend its supporting hand to the new and upcoming Awdal state of Somalia...

This is not a problem to Maakhiri community, they are Puntlanders bloodwise, political wise and ideology wise, they do not condone the actions of Atom, he is an individual much like Godane or Zaylici. Atom's immeidate demise and loss against the combinsed forces of all Puntlanders is a proof that he has no a dime support of the Maakhir community. Stop confusing things. NGONGE, stop believing in all the trash that widhwidh or other tabloids publish, neither Ilkajiir nor the VP was leading the offensive aginst Galgala. It was a man by the name Tuutawayne.

Ooh here we go again, snide remarks, now the trinity is the problem. The trinity are bloody bloodsucking ruthless British/Italian like foreigners who colonise locals and enslave humans looooooooool What do you say about the foreign terror recruitment in the mountenours of Bari, the intiation of Alshabaab camp, the killing of elders, businessmen and government officials in Bosaaso.

Puntland forces attack al-Shabab in Somali mountains map Forces from Somalia's northern Puntland region have attacked a cell of al-Shabab militants, officials say. Puntland President Abdirahman Sheik Mohamed says the security forces killed 13 Islamist fighters after they attacked an army post near the commercial capital, Bosasso. The mountain raid was the first time Puntland's forces have clashed with al-Shabab, analysts say. The al-Qaeda-linked group controls much of southern and central Somalia. At least two members of Puntland's security forces were also killed in the clashes in the mountains near Galgalo. Puntland is semi-autonomous from the rest of Somalia but is allied to the embattled, UN-backed government in Mogadishu. The Puntland authorities have recently rounded up and deported hundreds of young men in Bosasso and sent them to Mogadishu, accusing them of being al-Shabab sympathisers. ----Source: BBC

Official: 17 killed in clashes in northeast Somalia By the CNN Wire Staff (CNN) -- Heavy clashes between security forces and militants left at least 17 people dead and seven others wounded, according to the security minster of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in northern Somalia. "We have lost two soldiers and seven others have been wounded while we killed fifteen fighters from the militants in ... fighting" said Yusaf Ahmed Kheyr, Puntland's security minister who spoke to local journalists in Bosaso. The minister labeled the group his forces battled as terrorists, including foreign fighters from the corners of the world, and he described the area where the clashes happened as a rugged and mountainous large area of valleys. Kheyr said that the fighting still continues. A journalist in Puntland said that fighting was so heavy that the sound of artillery used in the fighting could be heard as far as in the port city of Bosaso which is at least 40 kilometers (25 miles) away from the area where the fighting took place. The militant group Al-Shabaab has denied that it has been involved in recent fighting in Puntland, but said the group supports it. Journalist Mohamed Amiin contributed to this report for CNN.
