Israel without the US and the entire western world will not last a day against Arabs. second, over-dramatising the reach of isreal is the part of the mental warfare. I have grown with it since the very days i started reading espoinage fictions. many israeli's also provide intelligence to Hamas and Palestinians, but the latter do not have the same capabililty to act against Israel. Arcedemos must be a young credulous fella. Nonsense. Israel has brains. It built a industrial country from nothing but hard work and knowledge. They have no oil and natural gas and it is better of today any Arab country. I say that cause, the future belong to those who apply their brain. Look at the pitiful Saudis they spent so much on defence but they no ability even today of making sense it and building real capability. I have nothing but admiration for Israel.

These people are thief's nothing more than that. How can any civilised person go to a country just so they can steal what they can. Do they think no one in the country now doesn't know what they are upto. That is why they have left Holland and Scandinavia and moved to the UK in their thousands because they know what they can get away with. These people are sick beyond belief.

Did she go to court in the burqa?

Oh they will love this. One failures entity to another.

It's beautiful isn't it. I was watching the Olympics in Vancouver. And thinking Canadians are so lucky to live in such a amazing country.

With us (Muslim Somalis), our problem is deen. Allah told us the Yuhuud are the enemy of Allah and as such are our enemy. Period. Nonsense. No people are evil. That is what you claiming here. It is you who is evil. Sitting comfortably in the Christian west and making your hypocritical statements. Move to Iran and state your views from their capital and you will have credibility.

I had to really laugh when I saw this. Some people are calling this 'Fatwa Sex' since Ali has it imposed it on her. 'The woman in question, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is pretty spectacular. She's smart: A Somali-born, Dutch-educated lawyer and former MP, she's the author of a memoir, Infidel, a fellow at a conservative think tank, and was voted one of Time's most influential people in 2005 (in fact, that is when they met, right)'.

If you're smart, religion has nothing to do with it. Nearly all Arab countries trade with Israel secretly in one or another. Egypt & Jordan have a peace treaty with Israel.

My religion or personal beliefs is nothing to do with anyone.

I'm very sorry for this tragic events. It's really terrible.

When my people are selling their bodies for men in Yemen. Why then should I fight for arabs. Think and use your head.

FU** THE ARABS, IF ISRAEL WANTED TO NUKE THEM AND USE BERBERA AS A STAGING SPOT I WOULD SUPPORT THEM, ITS KILL OR BE KILLED. AND SOMALILANDERS ARE BRAVE SAXIB ! TO US AND ARAB IS NOTHING, I agree with you 90% sxb, but I would not make friends with Yahuuds never in history, they are only curse people by Allah on this world for their double standards and snake-headed culture of making troubles for unsuspecting friends. If the choice comes that I have to choose between Arabs and Yahuuds I would choose Arabs at least because I can pray with them, and this does not mean I dislike Yahuuds and like arabs but only that we share a faith. This is a disgusting statement of hate, against a people, who have done nothing against Somalis.

If they Arabs do business with Israel. Why not Somalia? It's purely silly and self defeating to defend Arabs who hate Somalis, Blacks and everything they stand for.

Thank you but this is already being covered in the General section.

What makes you think it is 'Crocodile Tears' I can no more make any output than to be attacked for it. That is simply out of mack. You are saying that a country can improve without strong leadership. You mention China but is it not one of strong leadership. Or to Rwanda or Singapore. Tell me of your conclusion. And one that is not attacking of me.

What we need is a strong leader to Ataturk to emerge and fundamentally change the country. I'm more convinced of that than ever. One has to emerge and group our scattered beings back and rebuilt the country. There are Somali refugees in Nepal and in airports all over the world as of now. I was recently in Bangkok and I met a young Somali man in the airport. He had no money and no where to go, he was just moving between the terminals and drinking coffee.

It's terribly sad isn't it. We are at out worst moment and we really need a strong leader to change things.

ADEN, Yemen (Reuters) - Somali refugee Saada hates what she does but can see no other way to feed her six children -- working as a prostitute in the southern Yemeni city of Aden. "My life is rubbish, but what can I do? I have to work and make some money," said the woman in her 30s, sitting with other Somali women in Aden's Basateen slum district. Like many others, Saada fled to Yemen to escape the chaos, clan warfare and famine that has plagued Somalia since warlords toppled President Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 -- only to face another struggle for survival in impoverished Yemen. She has spent 10 months in Yemen living on U.N. handouts and turned to prostitution eight weeks ago to send money to the relatives at home who are looking after her children. Saada gets no money from her first husband, who divorced her and went to work in Saudi Arabia. Her second husband was badly wounded in fighting in the anarchic Somali capital Mogadishu. "So now I am on my own," she said. Yemen hosts 171,000 registered refugees, mostly Somalis, according to UNHCR figures for December, up from 140,300 a year earlier. Many more unregistered Somalis are thought to roam there, most of them hoping to move to richer Gulf countries. The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR helps Somalis on arrival, but many in Basateen say they struggle to make ends meet. Alysia, another divorced Somali woman driven into prostitution, said she had paid smugglers to take her on the perilous voyage across the Gulf of Aden to Yemen. "I have to take care of my son. I have to buy him milk," she said. The port city of Aden has a more freewheeling atmosphere than elsewhere in Yemen, a conservative Muslim society. While alcohol is hard to come by in the capital Sanaa, a few restaurants and beach clubs serve drinks in Aden, luring some weekend tourists from austere Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia. In Aden's Tawahi seaside district, prostitutes work in cheap hotels or clubs which have adjacent "motels." "The main reason for prostitution is poverty, the unemployment of refugees," said Alawiya Omar at the Italian aid organisation Intersource, which is working in Basateen, home to about 40,000 Somalis and Yemenis with Somali ties. Together with UNHCR, the group helps victims of domestic and sexual violence and tries to educate refugees about the dangers of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. "Awareness of the dangers of getting infections is not high," said Halima, a Somali woman who helps provide health care for prostitutes and advises them about safer sex. "There are courses for the women, but many don't bother to show up even if they get some money or free food on that day," she said, sitting in a makeshift house where she lives with her husband, other families and some livestock -- all crammed together with flies buzzing around. "My life is a mess. Sometimes men don't pay me. I would do anything else but what?" asked Najma, 34, another Somali sex worker.

There is opportunity in this. I see how African countries can leverage all these countries with technology and benefit from it. Look at Japan, it copied, copied Western technology and they exported it right back. I would hope that Somaliland makes peace with Israel soon. They share many similarities.

You should state if this is a trade or a tourism office. But if it is what I'm thinking then it will be a breach of Federal law.

Who cares. Who cares about this. Not me.

They attack a well respected Head of US Africa Congressman. These people are truly ******. If Mr. Payne was a arab, they would be on the floor wiping the dirt of his shoe.

These people are raping that country. Lets see if the Somali refugees in yemen or elsewhere can get the same. Egyptians shoots refugees in the back of the head. No one does anything. It's full of sick hypocrisy.
