"As for Olol and Juma why was Mr Xussen not your hero a few articles ago"?? warya General Duke do you meant Why was Mr Xussen your Hero A Few articles ago???

I so agree wtih the Abdirazak Haji Hussen on these terms. what about you guys what you think? · Reiterate its earlier position and make it clear to the two factions (Jowhar/ Mogadishu) that the international community has zero tolerance for either group moving militias and attacking the other; · Demand that all faction leaders and warlords cantonize their militias in designated places that will be monitored by international observers; · Set up an urgent and a clear schedule for the introduction of an International force (AU) to secure the relocation of TFIs; · Convene a conference for the leaders of TFI (with a limited time span) to iron out their differences and to commit themselves once and for all to the net “division of authority†as articulated in the transitional charter. If the African and world community do not have the conscience and/or willpower to avert the unfolding disaster, then they should at least be honest enough to announce that they are making effective preparations for the victims of such a looming disaster which they have helped induce through their condoning/connivance with the perpetuation of the warlords’ tyrannical domination.

Mogadishu Warlords Have Exhausted the Nation’s Patience by Abdirazak Haji Hussen - Monday, September 12, 2005 at 23:57 Abdirazak Haji Hussen Prime Minister of the Somali Republic 1964-1967 This is a follow-up to my July 2005 letter titled “A Perilous Impasse in Somaliaâ€. That letter identified four main controversies that caused the “impasseâ€. Among these was the disagreement over the ways and means of relocating the transitional federal government to Mogadishu. In line with the Transitional Charter, I endorsed relocating government in Mogadishu provided that: Ø the city was secured and warlords’ militias were cantoned beyond city limits, and Ø the two contending camps – Mogadishu/Jawhar – agree and jointly request an AU force deployment in Somalia to guarantee both safety of the government and its operations and the overall peace and security in and around Mogadishu “as a necessary prerequisite for relocation to occurâ€. My earlier call echoed Mogadishu civil society-driven movement that produced a not insignificant initial success in removing militias and road blocks from the city. I still think {believe} that advancing such civil society initiated agenda would be the most peaceful and everlasting route to secure the city and its environment and to ensure that all operations and leaders of the TFG will peacefully/safely relocate in the capital. But that hope has been dashed as most of the militias which were removed have returned to the city. It seems that the international community has failed to grasp, let alone encourage and support, the importance of the civic initiative by providing the minimum required rations necessary to maintain the armed boys in the camps and challenge the warlords to remove the remaining elements. The latter’s argument has been that they (international community) did not want to be accused of siding with one of the contestants in the Somali conflict. It seems that the international community has been all along unwilling to support the civics’ peace initiatives, as opposed to warlords’, but has yet to propose a better and more promising alternative. The stalemate continues and the march towards sliding back into civil war steadily creeps forward. The advantage and hope was that the civic initiative will move the peace process forward and convince Mogadishu’s dominant warlords to act as “responsible political leaders†in order to make the cost of deploying the AU reasonable. Unfortunately, Somali warlords, wherever they come from, have demonstrated that they do not deserve the awesome but honorable responsibilities for which they have been mistakenly groomed. Mogadishu based warlords, who have held our nation hostage for nearly 15 years, once again defy the wish of the Somali people and the world. This clears the deck for the lords of violence to engage in their despicable acts. Ethiopia, whose sinister involvement in Somalia’s affairs has been well known, is now reportedly helping its supporters prepare for military action as a means of “final solutionâ€. This will unfortunately lead to a Somali blood bath as if we have not had enough. The warlords who control the militias and who own the roadblocks insist on government relocation to the capital while Mogadishu remains lawless. Recent Mafia-like assassinations of highly valued social, religious and political personalities are yet another reminder of the state of the capital. We had known for a long time that the warlords, particularly those based in Mogadishu, have no interest in restoring law and order since that would run counter to their indulgent self interest. As a well known correspondent recently reported that one warlord collects monthly fees of $170,000 from the airport he controls and more from roadblocks and reported drug peddling. Restoring peace to the city and the country, and rebuilding legitimate government institutions is not attractive enough to wean the warlords from such lucrative, monopolistic and illicit businesses. It appears that the international community has lost sight of appreciating the gravity of the plight of the Somali people by failing to use its powerful political, diplomatic and economic muscles to stop warlords from continuing such a destructive game-playing. This has left the population be a prey to merchants of violence and tyranny as the latter’s game dangerously slides toward an open civil war. Recent militia movements in the central region and reportedly from Ethiopia, and in Mogadishu are clear signals that something ominous is about to unfold. Thus, I can only alert the world community to brace itself for another catastrophic humanitarian situation and a flood of refugees. The tragedy is that those who sponsored and invested in the last peace process in Kenya, and helped empower the warlords are now standing by the sidelines watching another Somali calamity unfold. The question is: who will be responsible for the suffering that is bound to result from this process and will the perpetrators be seriously held accountable this time around? Mogadishu based warlords’ treasonable machination is primarily responsible for creating the opening for the violence. Their incompetent arrogance may force the reconsideration of Mogadishu as the national capital. Inhabitants of Mogadishu who wittingly or otherwise condoned the violence and chaos will have to share the blame. Given the lost opportunities of the past nine months no sane person can expect anything constructive or positive from the Mogadishu warlords. To condemn the ill-deeds of Mogadishu warlords does not mean to endorse a militarist agenda that only serves non-Somali interests. Somalis who share a peaceful and constitution-driven agenda must now decide the direction of the transition. The first item on that agenda is where the country’s new capital should be since Mogadishu’s soul has been soiled almost beyond redemption. Ideally, the environment of the new capital should be an area free from warlords and Ethiopian control/influence in such a way that consensus rather than coercion could be forged in a peaceful and democratic atmosphere. Jawhar, although seemingly stable, is controlled by a warlord and his militias and thus can not provide the ambience in which all members of parliament and government could be free and secure to push the national peace/reconciliation agenda. This is why it is important to have a neutral force that could at least guarantee the restoration of peace and semblance of normalcy. The absence of a viable location free from warlords domination and Ethiopian influence makes it more paramount than ever that a neutral third force is needed not only to provide a secure place for the TFIs but one that is sufficiently safe from tyranny. The ill-will of the protagonists (warlords of all stripes) has brought our people to the brink of another bloody war which will foreclose the avenues for reconciliation. The only peaceful exit open is for the AU and international community to have the moral decency and fortitude to act and act decisively in order to avert another humanitarian catastrophe: · Reiterate its earlier position and make it clear to the two factions (Jowhar/ Mogadishu) that the international community has zero tolerance for either group moving militias and attacking the other; · Demand that all faction leaders and warlords cantonize their militias in designated places that will be monitored by international observers; · Provide rations for all securely encamped militias until an integrated national police force is created; · Warn Ethiopia that it should cease forthwith its unlawful meddling, military or otherwise, in the internal affairs of Somalia; · Set up an urgent and a clear schedule for the introduction of an International force (AU) to secure the relocation of TFIs; · Convene a conference for the leaders of TFI (with a limited time span) to iron out their differences and to commit themselves once and for all to the net “division of authority†as articulated in the transitional charter. If the African and world community do not have the conscience and/or willpower to avert the unfolding disaster, then they should at least be honest enough to announce that they are making effective preparations for the victims of such a looming disaster which they have helped induce through their condoning/connivance with the perpetuation of the warlords’ tyrannical domination.

stonethrow away from Muqisho I do not know why this is so funny to me. Maxamed Cumar Xabeeb Maxamed Dheere well the guy is on the right side for sure and his real rewards are to come when all of his old friends are wiped away by waves.

C/qaasim Salaad Xasan got the money but he is lookin for guys that can do the dirty work for him. The guy still thinks he is President or some thing. someone needs to show him who is in incommand. Who is best at doing that than the Men himself. President Abduallhi Yusuf, I was told by close friends of mind he is on his way on doing that. Quote wind.talker "If you ask me, Cabdiqasim's sole aim is to deepen the rift between Reer Puntland and Reer Gedo/W. Galgaduud." Raqiid knows but is trying to blind himself he acts like he does not see the big picture or something. At the end it's bad for your people and your land.

This meeting is a meeting we are lookin forward to. Because after it is done it will be clear where Barre Hiiraale stands and then Abduallhi Yusuf can take the needed steps. When it comes to War Morgan knows what side to be one. He is just doing this so Abduallhi Yusuf can call him to his side, but he is not going to do at because Morgan will come on his on will. Abdiqasin is very Happless to day look at him runing after the little guys. What makes him think the guy that got kicked out form ceelwaaq yesterday by a little clan can do him good in a real war it's really funny. So tell us what is Morgan without Puntland? Without Puntland he is nothing and he found this out when he was fighing Barre Hiiraale for Kismayo. Even thought he did ok some would say but If he would had Puntland on his side Kismayo would have been his today. Depending on How the meeting goes Depending on how big the Government troops get.

Somali National troops: + Police The Police are as trained as the National Troops If they are Needed For a bigger duted they get get it done as well as the troops so things are lookin quit well. Can't say the same thing for siyaasadda Muqdisho. Good to see you back General Duke.

Their introduction is funny I like It. But it really show where they stand. So one sided. I would give them an 7 their ok. this was my first time listening to them I injoy it. It funny how the other side thinks you Know. ps: I will tell you one thing their very far from being a balanced news broadcast.

that's what i thought too. Well that's sad to hear cause hate will not take you any where just to let you know.Hate him or not he is the leader of the pack

Who said it was hollow and unforseeable. I support the government not Abduallhi Yusuf. A bad government is better than no Government brother. You do not support this government becuase you have hate for A/Y if that's not it what's the case?.

You show pride that Yeey has the military means to start Civil War II. warya ask "Ducaqabe" that qestion. I was just anskering his qestion. warya Pride is satisfaction of yourself or what you got. I have satisfaction that Abduallhi Yusuf Military can get the job done. I have sense of Pride for them. Some thing you do not have for those you support.

"promoters of tribalism" Just because we support the President we are promoters of Tribalism. Well I think those that support the War-lord that do not want a government in somalia are promoters of tribalism. warya "A bad goverrnment is better than no Government".

"Who would be finished in hours?" Those that attack Ciidamada Qaranka. "You show pride that Yeey has the military means to start Civil War II". No brother I show Pride that Yeey has the Military Means to defend himself from any attack from anyone.

I guess what I'm asking is when is the Somali Civil War II forecasted to begin? warya it's not the 90s If war does break out it would be finished in hours at the most. From what i heard Abduallhi Yusuf army are well armed and well trained. they will get the job done fast.

Wow! This is Great News. AU recognises Jowhar as the interim Capital of Somalia. That's all the government needed to move forward first recognation of it's government which all of Africa recognised and Now the city they have chosen as their interim capital. ps:I love the pictures so clear.

"Hurry up folks for the rescue of Somalia. Leave it to Qanyare and Yalaxow the biggest somali patriots ever"... loooooooool these guys are funny now it's Yemanis who could be next i think Kenya is left.

Abduallhi Yusuf beat the so called mighty USC and allies at a time when they had the upper hand in his home town. What makes you guys think he would lost when now he has the upper hand over them. If anything does happen I do not think any USC will be left. Abduallhi Yusuf has never lost a Real War. This men is Ready for everything Reer Muqdisho are to throw at him. Why do you think he give the order? This is the time I have been wating for.One person must get the upper hand in Somalia and that would be the winner of this up coming War. Don't you guys think. There is to Much powerfull War-lord in Somalia, their power must be taken away. That's what the President is ready to do,Somalia is with him on that.. and so am I

these pictures are one of a kind! what part of Puntland are these pictures from are they all Garowe.

warya kidd what do u think Abdirazak H. Hussen's comments. So what do u know of Bill Ainshe i think this is a first article that i have read of his. Is there any other and is he white? Tell me what you know of this men if u may.

So what you guys think of the President idea for the checkpoints and how he plans to handle it? Also what you guys think of the president not bowing down to the demands that speaker of parliament and the war-lords are making? I agree with the president for not bowing down to these guys because they don't have any basis the they could be agree with them on. "But he would not bow to demands that he go there now. "What they are asking is absolutely impossible...and in my opinion the speaker of parliament and other (government) members who are in Mogadishu are making obstructions of the process." "Their aim is no peace, no government for Somalia, at least for the time being," Yusuf said. "And if they don't want any peace or any government for Somalia, on what basis we can agree with them?" I think the idea for the checkpoints will work as long as the promises are meant. as the president said "They say to people 'Take away your checkpoints. Go to your home' without food, without education, without promising a future to these young people. So the next day the road blocks are multiplying. So nothing succeeded up to now in Mogadishu." "If they put down their weapons we have to create something for them," he said. "We have to assure them that they will get everything they peacefully instead of at gunpoint."

NAIROBI, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Instead of fighting his way into Mogadishu, President Abdullahi Yusuf plans to win control by patiently negotiating the disarmament of its turbulent militias. To many that goal, outlined in a recent Reuters interview, might seem out of character coming from an Ethiopian-backed career soldier not known for his deal-making diplomatic skills. Coaxing warlords to lay down their guns has been the stated aim of all of Somalia's many peace attempts in 14 years: They failed in the face of predatory militia bosses keen to hang onto lucrative fiefdoms in one of the world's most anarchic cities. But Yusuf, a provincial military strongman before he was elected president by lawmakers at peace talks in October 2004, said he can succeed because he would prepare thoroughly. "Step by step we are going towards Mogadishu," Yusuf, 70, said. "I still have four years of my term left, and I hope Somalia will be pacified sooner than that." Ten months after he was elected by lawmakers at peace talks in Kenya, Yusuf and most of his ministers are still based in provincial Somali towns as they consider Mogadishu too risky. Several other heavily armed cabinet ministers as well as parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan want Yusuf to come and work from the anarchic coastal city of one million. But supporters of Yusuf, whose political base is north-central Somalia, believe that by doing so he would put himself be at the mercy of warlords and businessmen in a city where real power still comes from the barrel of a gun. Yusuf said he was determined to "pacify" the city, infested by an estimated 60,000 gunmen. But he would not bow to demands that he go there now. "What they are asking is absolutely impossible...and in my opinion the speaker of parliament and other (government) members who are in Mogadishu are making obstructions of the process." "Their aim is no peace, no government for Somalia, at least for the time being," Yusuf said. "And if they don't want any peace or any government for Somalia, on what basis we can agree with them?" Yusuf explained that while the city's warlords might not like his approach, ordinary people would reward any leader able to demobilise the militias who have preyed on Somalia since militias ousted former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. He said the city's current militia bosses had failed because they had not offered demobilised gunmen alternative employment. CHECKPOINTS "They say to people 'Take away your checkpoints. Go to your home' without food, without education, without promising a future to these young people. So the next day the road blocks are multiplying. So nothing succeeded up to now in Mogadishu." Yusuf said he would bring enough resources to the job right. "If they put down their weapons we have to create something for them," he said. "We have to assure them that they will get everything they peacefully instead of at gunpoint." His aides are haunted by the fate of a previous attempt at a government, which never held more than a few Mogadishu streets. Yusuf is recruiting fighters across the country, and allies explain he will not get the respect of Mogadishu warlords unless he first builds enough muscle to make them see the need to talk. Yusuf says there is nothing sinister about the force, but he was wary when asked its size. "My God that is not a question! Can you ask a man 'Show me your mouth, I will count your teeth'? I do not answer your question," he said.
