B Posted August 13, 2009 I grew up in the qurbo ah and so know nothing about the internal dynamics of Somali Politics. Can you all plz explain to me the causes of all these issues. Especially all this extremist activities there nowadays with the AlShabab and all these splinter islamic groups. Who is fighting who and what are they fighting for. Plz be neutral in your opinions. thnx. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted August 13, 2009 ^^ I didn't care or know anything about it till the 2006 war . Then I discovered this forum, and now I am a seasoned cyber political boxer. If you don't know jack, just act like an expert that is what most Somalis do anyway. But it's a waste of time, so I wouldn't really bother with it, if I was you; that is, unless you want to became the mayor of Burco. In that case, Kashafa would be a good tutor for beginners.

B Posted August 13, 2009 I thought NinBrown was alluding to Ahlu Sunna, TFG and the Warlords. Perhaps I was wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NinBrown Posted August 13, 2009 central government/TFG = liverpool. they havent controlled/won any thing significant for 18 years, except couple conferences in djibouti, nairobi. warlords = man u, winning evrything over the last couple years. sland = arsenal, pretty football, evry1 likes the peace/prosperity, no silver wear=recognition. pland = chelsea, still looking for that elusive champions league i guess the new kid on the block is to be reckoned with.

First we have to get him used to the waffle and fancy names and then we have to tell him how the clans fit in. (I don't believe him of course). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thierry. Posted August 13, 2009 The TFG and President Sharif are Real Madrid and Mr Perez, it has the brand name, the history and bucket load of cash. In the same way Mr Perez brought back legendry players like Zidane to advice him, President Sharif is as we speak being advised by former War heroes Al Shabaab is Man City hit hard by the recession Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
