GD is ruining the forums. He contributes nothing, other than simply copying and pasting little snippets of information he sees and then posting it. He knows, fully well, news sources on the ground are being muzzled by the TFG thugs, little of what is really happning is able to seep out. The news about Somalia on Google News is now less then 9000 collatted, most re-hash, a fall from 29000 at it's height in the new year, while a small Island like Singapore is generating 5 times that amount. I don't see a national tradegy in Singapore, but genoicide is occuring in Somalia, right now, by the Ethiopian occupation. So why then, is in the world of GD and his band of followers, things in Somalia just fine. Far from it. Because he has a polict of misinformation, blind tribal support and no concern for the the suffering of others. In the end, they will loot the country, and dissapear to Ethiopia.

Those of us, who have watched SOL from the sidelines and that is the majority of us. In their wish, for a government, any government, even ones with green faces, they have lost their mind. We must counter their dangerous disinformation. The number problem in this whole business called Somalis is Ethiopia. By whay of unfathamoble reasons, it is engaged in a sustained attack on making sure Somalia is a weak and fragmentated. TFG has no intention on working for a stable and strong country. They will milk the country for what it is worth and once dry, will leave and pack for somewhere elese. Why GD and his supporters, over looking this issue. The respected PINR today in it's latest report and I quote this. ''The judgment of PINR's February 2 report on Somalia that the country had entered a devolutionary cycle has been confirmed during the past three weeks. Addis Ababa is satisfied with a fragmented Somalia, Western powers and international organizations have not made stabilizing the country a high priority, African states are either unwilling to contribute troops to a conflict zone or will only sign on to a restricted mission, and the T.F.G. is resistant to "inclusive" reconciliation''.

The courts never oppressed anyone. They were a eniune Somali answer to a problem. Whereelese the TFG is a Ethiopian dominated entity. There is no way, they are popular and this is why GD determined resolve to paint over a rotting wall is so irksome. In his zeal for a government he has lost his way and mind, and dropped to the level of those who are working with the ethiopians against a strong and united country. He has made his bed with fleas, now he can lie in it.

Why the manic postings lately, GD? Afraid, the whole community now know the true intentions of the TFG, who have sold their soul to the enemy?

GD and his traitor supporters can call it what they like. They are supporting a unpopular 'government' that has bought shame to us by bringing foreign troops. Remember you can't built democracy without soverignity.

Very good news he has been killed.No remorse for traitors.

A second tier meeting party for a fifth tier 'president'. You can just look at the distate the British have for this warlord group.

I wonder what became of that report of the 720 Somali fighters that were sent to fight in Lebeanon. It's the same staory as in Iraq 2002. The vultures are circling once again.

Quick!!! Take him to the sushi bar, have the small bottle of polonium 210 ready.

Would have to see it to believe it. TB has much more important things to do with his time then to meet a xthiopian puppet.] No doubt his first port of call was the xthiopian embassy to recieve his itinerary.

The TFG 'ministers' are getting scared s+++++++. They know they are deeply unpopular and they are the targets of this, the occupiers, will not be able to protect them forever and they are trembling. Also note, how the attacks are becoming deadlier as time moves on. Soon the mortar attacks over the wall will turn into rockets bringing down helicopters. It's only a matter of time.

The media is central in a democracy, the TFG is stopping a free press. what are they so afraid of, is it that they don't want the world to know that Ethiopian are removing veils from Somali women in the street, that people are being taken from the houses and then disappering, That people are being are tortured in various places in the country.

They have always been insurgencies and these type of attacks. Look at the French when they were in Algiers, they made a film about it. There can't be democracy with soverienghty.

They are learning bit by bit, then when they have their technique, the Ethiopians will be slaughtered. It is like when you first learn to ride a bike, you cycle then you fall, but eventually you learn, it's the same here. The civilians, is not what they want it is the foreign occupers of Somalia who are the real target.

In your zeal, for a 'government' any type of government, you lose sense of your mind.

This has to be the most idiocy I have read, ''international community''. Who cares about those international community. They don't care one bit about the country. Same for any other country. What is important, is legitimacy by the people. This is a criminal group put in place on top of the people. A group that wants to hand Somalia on a plate to Ethiopia and is working on it as we speak.

You are supporting a traitor government that support the annextion of Somalia to Ethiopia. You have no pride. Writring your fantasy posts about a 'government' that no one supports. Shame on you.

There is a lot of negativety regarding Black issues. Only now, are people acknowledging that the African American community is the most successful and powerful minority in the most powerful country in the world. http://www.economist.com/world/na/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_RGPPNSD&CFID=112989344&CFTOKEN=4749ccb-a1b0c808-1e7a-469e-9963-5660a1b5a777 Please remember, that a Black country is the richest in the World. If you measure it in per capita. That country is Bermuda. ''Bermuda enjoys the highest per capita income in the world, more than 50% higher than that of the US. Its economy is primarily based on providing financial services for international business and luxury facilities for tourists. A number of reinsurance companies relocated to the island following 11 September 2001 and again after Hurricane Katrina, contributing to the expansion of an already robust international business sector. Bermuda's tourism industry - which derives over 80% of its visitors from the US - continues to struggle but remains the island's number two industry. Most capital equipment and food must be imported. Bermuda's industrial sector is small, although construction continues to be important; the average cost of a house in June 2003 had risen to $976,000. Agriculture is limited with only 20% of the land being arable.'' https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/bd.html Countires like Bahamas, Barbados, Botswana, Angola, South Africa, Mozambique, Ghana, have excellent and growing economies. Not all of Africa is in a mess. Equatierual Guniea has a higher per capita income than even the USA. Look at the CIA factbook. But in that countries case, sadly the full effect hasn't trickled down due to corruption. But the figure is nevertheless accurate! For god, look at Italy, where I live. This is a real mess country, full of rubbish, grafitti, thieves, corruption and poor people. But yet, most people in the world imagine it to be some wonder land of ice cream and fashion. This is because, some countries are better than others in branding themselves and they will always benefit from it. This is a lesson that the 'new' Somalia should learn. How can we brand ourselves in a way that will create a changing perception of the country The world is full of afro-pessism and it is a serious issue.

Ladies and Gentleman this is what awaits us. Still! slightly better than the TFG in my opinion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6323449.stm

Don't jump the gun. They haven't confirmed, only saying they are thinking about it. Please think about this, before you rush into posts.

Aborrent the TFG are. There is no present alternative in the horizon. We either support or that is it, this is the last chance. The Africans are sick of this, the Arabs dont want anymore problems and the Europeans, only Italy ducks its head, and only because it used to be a colony and it is not doubt embrassed with how one of it's 'own' has turned out. If this fails, that is it, no one is going to raise a mumour against a Ethiopian annextion of Somalia. Now people know what I think of Ethiopians and of the TFG, but what else is there to do.

The sitiation is so dire and hopeless, most people like myself, most times are just wishing for anything better than the reality that is there. GD's posts I see it, are a form of escapism.

Fast growing countries in Eastern Europe, like the Baltic states and Georgia and Czech Republic all have implented the flat tax system. Even the United States and Germany are considering it. Here is why I think, why we should now have a similar system. With the policy of stablising the country is now paramount, attention will soon turn to economic matters. This is a arena, I have a keen interest in. Firstly, all the factors favor a strong economic growth like type scenario, if the country is stabilized. The people are independent, favor little government involvement and are very disposed to entrepreneurial. The results are there to see, the country has been the field of numerous research into how countries can still thrive, without a government. So the potential and will is there, if the correct system is implemented. Why a flat tax for Somalia 1) Countries that have implemented have gown very fast. 2) Simple to implement, creates efficiency 3) Easy to understand for business and conducive to encouraging foreign investment 4) Encourages business creation and independence from government. Cetainly there are minues but the positives outwieght it. Above all, it encourages a simpler form of government, that I think, within a federal type of system, suits the mentality of the people from a overbearing central government and encourages the activism that will enable the country to leap-frog other countries in the region. The potential is there. I would be interested to know the profile if someone has it, of the economic minister. His job now, is very important in laying the groundwork for growth that the country needs. I'm impressed with the economic team that has managed Sudan in recent years, which is very competent for a African state.
