Taleex is doing just fine this morning. The deceased was gilt of some vendetta.

Xaaji, reerka waa u ceeb asturaynaa ee soo guryo nowda idinkoo nabada.

We all know SL is a clan state but it will come to the discussion table as such. Running away from what someone is is classical complex inferiority. Khaatumo is unstoppable give her its way.

War Abwaan adigu ma taariikh yahay baad tahay xaggaad waxaan ka soo quftaa. Ma runbaa, in Prof. Abdiweli aanu aqoon u lahayn wasiiradiisa?

A fact, Khatumo State is still at its embryo state and has already touched some nerves. I assure you Khatumo will prevail in one way or another. In your illusory SL is still standing after 20 years while reality dictates otherwise .. Awdal, Khatumo and Maakhir are realizing their right to self-determination by the day but that means nothing to a corrupted mind.

The best choice for the secessionist lot is to stay with the union.

A_Khadar: That is a good spirit but remember we still have some unfinished business back in Khaatumo State. The liberation of occupied territories should be given priority methinks.

The world is moving fast. We will be missing mega projects as we continue to maim, displace and kill each other. Can we all get alone?

By Osman Hassan February 29, 2012 One of the concrete outcome of the London Conference on Somalia is the clear-cut message from the international community, as represented by key governments, the United Nations and international organisations. That message is that the question of Somaliland's secession from Somalia is not a matter for them but purely for the Somalis themselves. It is in this regard that the participating governments, taking their cue from President Ismail Omar Guleed of Djibouti, called for talks on the issue between Somalia and Somaliland and other countries should mind their own business. Until now, the position of leading western governments, like the USA and UK, was that the question of Somaliland's secession was a matter for the African Union and that it is only when the member States of the organisation endorsed Somaliland's sovereignty, with or without the consent of the government of Somalia, will they consider their own position. Much water has flowed under the bridge since then; clearly, the position of these governments has dramatically shifted to the extent they now see the matter as an internal affair between Somalia and its northern part and therefore an issue to be settled within the Somali family. The unspoken word is that the break-up of Somalia will create more problems than it solves. This wise formula they have come up with therefore allows them to dispense with Somaliland's nagging secession problem in a way less unpalatable to the secessionists. Now that the principle of inter-Somali talks has been called for and accepted by both Somalia and Somaliland, a number of procedural and legal hurdles that may take years if not eternity would need to be initiated. On the procedural side, the important question is who is part of the self-declared "Somaliland" entity which is supposed to talk with the Somali government? Certainly, the people of Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn (SSC) regions belonging to the Khaatumo and Makhir States or those hailing from the Awdal States have nothing to do with the secessionist "Somaliland" construct. These unionist States, albeit partially occupied by the secessionists, see no point in talking with their Somali government when they have no problem with it and are no part of the secession. To be lumped with the secessionists clan against their will in deference to Somaliland is to forfeit their inalienable right to be part of Somalia, which neither the Somali government nor the international community would want to sanction it. Needless to say, there is only one clan which is behind the secession and the quest for recognition. Their futile efforts to present their secession as representing the will of all the clans of former British Somaliland cuts no ice with anyone inside or outside Somalia. It is belied for one thing by the establishment of the unionist regional States and also by the on-going clashes in much of Khaatumo State and the frequent unrest in Awadal State. It should be recalled that the sole common aim among the five clans of former Somaliland Protectorate for demanding independence from Great Britain in May 1959 was simply to unite with Italian Somaliland and nothing else. No agreement, oral or written, exists among the clans for a possible future secession by one clan or by the whole region from the union on whatever grounds. The secession therefore is supported neither by Somalia's constitution nor by previous agreements nor by current wish of all the clans in NW Somalia. The clan's reliance on force is incompatible with the legitimacy they are seeking for their secession. If one clan is bent on seceding from Somalia, then it is that clan alone in the name of its area which will enter talks with the Somali government. Put it bluntly, these talks do not concern none of the unionist ones and as such they will have nothing to do with it with the secessionist's treacherous project. The other procedural question is whether it is the present Somali government and Parliament or future ones that will undertake talks with the secessionist clan calling itself Somaliland?: Certainly not the current Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and Parliament (TFP). An important issue on which the existence of Somalia critically depends cannot be trusted to unelected, entities that are on their way out. As such, the talks with the renegade one-clan based enclave can only be undertaken by a future elected and legitimate government and Parliament truly representing Somalia and its people whenever that time arrives. No time horizon has bee set by the London conference for the start or end of these talks. But realistically, this is a time in the distant future given the time it will take to evolve the necessary conditions for these talks. By then, many of the current political leaders and elite in Somaliland may not be around. Which begs the question: will the quest for secession pursued by one clan still remain alive or will it perish at the alter of inter-Somali talks?. On the legal aspects, the current constitution of Somalia does not allow for secession. A prerequisite for the proposed talks is that a future Somali government should first initiate the required change in the constitution that will allow secession once certain conditions are met. That would be followed by Parliamentary approval and finally the matter would be put to a national referendum. The question that would be put to the voters at any future national referendum will be the broader principle of whether they agree to the change in the constitution calling for the right of secession irrespective of which region. If the outcome of the national referendum is supportive, then the clan calling itself Somaliland can lawfully secede from Somalia. But will the international community recognise an unsustainable barren one-clan enclave? That is a moot question for the time being. No government is looking beyond the talks where the issue is expected to drag on for the foreseeable future. But will the matter reach a national referendum?. it is almost impossible to see a future Somali government and parliament endorsing a change to the constitution allowing for Somaliland's secession even before it is put to a national referendum. To do so will open a Pandora box that could usher the end of Somalia as a state let alone a united one. So, what is the point of the proposed inter-Somali talks? They occupy minds and may in the end force the secessionist clan to return to the union when all other options are foreclosed and see all the other clans inside what they call Somaliland are beyond their control and increasingly well entrenched within a federal Somalia where they have their regional States. The London Conference has done much to save Somalia's unity more than its own leaders and Parliament did. The Somali talks have no road map and would lead no where. The secession will ultimately die where it started- Somalia. We have to thank the London conference for that, and above all president Ismail Omar Guleed who saved our country and its unity with his brotherly wise solution. He will have a special place in Somalia's history. Osman Hassan Chairman, Foreign Affairs Commission Khaatumo State of Somalia Email: osman.hassan2 @gmail.com

Script numero uno comments deserve to be disregarded.

Taleex is just doing fine.

He made history of placing the misguided secession dogmatic ideology in the coffin. RIP.

Secessionists are suffering from what I call "Saado Syndrome"....... I invented this term thus, it is copyrighted and patented. Saado remains to be an objective artist throughout her career with minor political gaffes but unfortunately secessionists are blinded by baseless hatred against non-Somalilanders .....May Allah help them to see the light.

Somalia radio journalist Abukar Hassan Kadaf murdered Abukar Hassan Kadaf is the 29th journalist to be killed in Somalia since 2007 BBC News Feb. 29, 2012 The head of a private Somali radio station shut down by Islamist militants has been killed outside his home, an eyewitness has told the BBC. The witness said that Abukar Hassan Kadaf was shot by two men carrying pistols in the capital, Mogadishu. Mr Kadaf had run Radio Somaliweyn until it was looted by al-Shabab in 2010 when the group still operated in the city. Afterwards he became involved in local politics, but colleagues say he was planning to relaunch the station. War-torn Somalia has not had a functioning central government for more than 20 years and is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists to work. 'Tragedy' Last month, the head of the Shabelle Media Network, Hassan Osman Abdi, known as "Hassan Fantastic", was shot outside his house by five armed men. A witness told the BBC Somali Service that two gunmen shot Mr Kadaf several times at about 18:00 local time (15:00 GMT) before running away from the scene. "This murder... is a another tragedy and continues to further undermine freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Somalia," Omar Faruk Osman, secretary general of the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ), said in a statement. According to NUSOJ, Mr Kadaf had been working in the past few days on the re-launch of Radio Somaliweyn. He is the 29th journalist to be murdered in Somalia since 2007, the union said. The BBC's Mohamed Dhore in Mogadishu says over the last 18 months, Mr Kadaf, 43, had also been helping local MPs who have been trying to set up a regional administration. Political assassinations have been common in Somalia during more than two decades of conflict involving many warring factions. Al-Shabab, which joined al-Qaeda this month, pulled out of their bases in Mogadishu last August as part of what it said was a "tactical retreat" but has since staged periodical attacks in the city.

He supports the clan enclave of "SL" at least in this speech.

Stoic believes his clan is the only legit state in the northern regions of Somalia but reality teaches us otherwise. With regards to the professor's remarks; waa dhab inuu yahay nin karti leh laakiin timihiisu meel uma wada xiirmaan. Waa nin gedgedoon badan.

Yep, Boot camp is the answer.

It is always worth going back to school. Life is learning process after all.

It all depends sir. Whether it is MINIs, laptops or desktops. It depends on what you've in mind to use for the asked gadget. As far as I'm concerned, unless it is a MINI laptop the RAM (The volatile Read Access Memory) shouldn't be less than 2GB preferably 3 or 4 GB. Many of today's applications like Skype, Office, Adobe and so on need more resource from the machine that they live on ... so before you know it your clock speed(Processor) and RAM capacity will be sliced.
