If Puntland was to compaign and call for unity and central government, everyone would have cried, NOOOOOO, they want to take power and bring totalitarian dictatorial regime. Its all politics, unity or federal, whatever works for Somalis is good. Lets get and agree on something, I'm 100% for a Somali government even if that has to be my uncle's iron fist rule over the entire Somali peninsula, up for it, bring it walalo.

Indeed, its nice and memorable picture.

Lol so whats wrong with this carpet or Mosque carpet. Then again you miss the whole point, its not the type of carpet but rather the posture and status. The secessionist hada waxay keeneen inay carpet-ka fiiriyaan oo thread kasameeyaan. Mogadishu is coming back and the capital is making progress, that's the point of this picture and the secessionist clan supporters need to live with that reality.

Of course spoilers should be dealt with immediately, those that have no reason whatever to oppose or could not deliberate their objections against the constitution.

Loool @ title, I thought XX was against the constitution and in support of Puntland elders decision, what happened? Puntland has disagreed with it now so everyone must support it now haha haha

That was a moment, Aigwero's goal, I had been itching and burning until that moment, free at last, waving the flag and celebrations. Magnificent game, QPR gave a good hard game, it wasn't about the win its the how, and the excitement.

I got the news of the death of Haaji Ibraahim Cusmaan Uunlaaye last night from a relative. Ilaahay ha unaxariisto, waxaan kabarbaryayaa allaha kariimka inuu samir iyo imaan kasiiyo, dadkii Somaaliyeed ee jeclahaa Haaji Ibraahim Uunlaaye iyo eheladii iyo qaraabadii uu katahay gaar ahaan reer Uunlaaye dhamaantood meelkasta ay dunida kajoogaan, iyo inuu marxuumkana ilaahay naxariistiisa iyo janadii firdowsa kawaraabiyo Aamin.

I watched it last night, it wasn't any interesting, the usual western reporting style, he went to Mogadishu and had only concentrated talking about piracy, Alshabaab, guns and AMISOM. He did not visit the main markets of the city, the booming business sector and semblance of peace of Mogadishu in the past few months, also never talked to the average people on the street. He was just another western reporter focusing on the negative to appease his audience. Even when in Hargeisa he only visited the money exchange market and the IDP's camps, spending his entire airing BBC time on laughing about the money and taking a trip with the kids who claim to have never seen a sea to the 'Indian ocean', its funny how he kept repeating the Indian ocean when in fact it was the Red Sea - but I wouldn't blame him because I don't think he did it on purpose but out of ignorance. I was looking forward to see a lot from Mogadishu, Hargeisa and all of Somalia but this was disappointing.

^Amiin, illaahay ha naxariisto.

First of all I challenge the very existence of Council of Religious Scholars. There is no such thing as CRS in Somalia, and who are these guyz anyway. Every region has different scholars and don't see a lot of things eye to eye, actually some of them hate each other and contemplate to assassinate one another, others exchange messages of the bitter disagreement and ridicule on air and on the internet. There is no Somali Ulema that are united under one body, at least to my knowledge.

^Yes, the constitution is no perfect, no sane individual should expect, however I feel Faroole wax madiidanee wax ayuu farta kusii fiiqayaa si uu wadaaxiyo xoogaa in laga qanciyo ayuu malaha rabaa. But he cannot be against this, he was one of main forces behind the Road Map and the establishment of a new era,a new Somalia.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah C'mon this is obvious now and commonsense, who wouldn't? Anyone going through what A&T went through in Hargeisa and getting all that would make such a move. Who wouldn't? Any mankind would

Indeed reer Puntland are not fully supporting this, I for one am against him on his latest stance as much as I have been against anyone who opposed the constitution. Puntland and Faroole risk of being labelled a spoiler. However to be fair to him, at least he addressed his concerns in a civilized manner. He can be convinced by either amending the points he raised or asking him to wait for few years to make the changes, but he's deeply interested in moving forward, he was he backbone and one of the earliest supporters of the Road Map, Garowe principles and the end of the transition. So to compare him to the anti-peace, anti-everything and waxwabla waa diidnay groups investation of Mogadishu is a mistake and unfair parallel.

It seems you guyz are enjoying yeah, iska baashaala si wacan it seems Hargeisa is the place to have a time, waa magaalo baashaal. A&T stop these little teenage like chit-chats and encounters you had with each other. Report on the real staff, go interview Faisal Waraabe and rather tell us your encounter with him.

Inaa lilaahi wa inaa ilayhi Rajicun. Ilaahay ha unaxariisto jadatul firdowsana haka waraabiyo. A remarkable man he was, he will be greatly missed.

Referendum where? In the SSC regions to see whether they want to unite with SL or not? Secession is justified, Somalia is a small country population wise and unity is vital for a whole lot of reasons. Its not unity for sake of unity but unity for a purpose - strength, economical and political competitiveness and for the long term survival of Somalis in the region. So, it will be about measuring the pros and cons of unity, whichever one outweigh the other should be opted for.

Is this US embassy based in Hargeisa or some where else?

^Haa magaalbaa? Muxuu noogu dhuuntaynany hadalkiisa marka macno badan iima yeesheen ee waxaan mooday inuu qof muslim ah yahay. Sheikh Umul is right and is against any form of man made constitution. Waa sax weeye waana runtiisa, Diinta Islaamka iyo waxyabaha hoos biniaadamku ka walaqdo iyo isreer magaaleeynta yaan la isku khaldin.

At least he's not a hypocrite or double faced like the west, we need you as much as you need us, it sounds to me the start of an honest and good mutual relationship. The west go to Africa with handouts and the bible and took the resources and even human slaves.

The vast majority of these traditional elders are legit, at least the ones I know. However, the whole 4.5 thing is an overkill, a disgusting system.

I welcome him and his party but I think he's over hyped and over dramatized individual.

^Are you Muslim? I'm just asking, only for myself awareness because we have a lot atheists and other non Muslim members on these boards.

Beautiful landscape, picturesque... This is an old historic town. Mukulaalow you need to find recent pictures.
