Makes his supporters gleem with pride 7. I think he supports Arsenal!

Question can be reversed on the Yeeysters. Where will their loyalty lie tomorrow? All that talk of seeing Somalia progress will now be muted as the old boy is out. Will the TFG be viewed differently without Yeey? Yes. Will people be more hopeful now that he is going? Yes.

Congrats saxib. All the best. Will catch up when you get back to the desert. Dabshid, waynak?

Resigning from what? A fairy position? LoL

I'm off. Time to enjoy the afternoon sun.

Hunguri, is see you're probably in Liverpool. Bal inooga waran magaalada. Do you understand a word they're saying?

I have a day tomorrow for Christmas and another day off on Sunday for Muxaram (Islamic New Year). :cool:

^Bleedin 'eck! 500+??? That I didn't know!

Hunguri, we need to catch up. Will be at the usual on Friday for the footy. Bal iskeen.

^No I haven't. Do tell.

^He probably did. HOWEVER, he has continued his pursuit of Ethio withdrawal via the Djibouti accord(s). Yeey objected to the whole thing! Time to agree to disagree me thinks. Cirday, time will tell indeed. Bixi, I suppose I should say,,, each to his opinion,,,,and all that,,,,,

Duke, let us know when he does retire. The International Criminal Court in The Hague will soon be calling! Maybe you can defend him there LoL

^Careful there. I may be branded a qabiilist so and so. Or did you just do that?

^Noted

^^Maybe Duke, so how much did you make? Via the TFG? Do share. How many pies do you have your hands in? Are you set for life? Mise way kaa yara qasantay LoL Piracy would suit Yeey and Co.

^LOOOL The guy is afraid of snakes saxib. He has never been to his home land because of it. World Champs? Erm erm ok. I'll stay quiet until May '09!

Dukey, I suppose the high seas will be another profitable venture Your pockets must be PHAT already though

^Do you deny the man (Cade) has had a role in the agreement that sees the Ethios leave soon? As much I hate Yeey and the organisation called the TFG, if things get better (with Yeey gone, Ethios gone and at least some peace) my opinion of them will be different (although it will be time sensitive).

Duke, watch your back whenever you visit Xamar again.

Ayoub and Geeljire. Noted. Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ And the action is that Nur Cade accepted the job of PM way before the peace caravan came into being. You can't pick and choose, saaxib. Tar them all with the same brush please. Be fair. So because of his mere acceptance of the PM role he should be painted with the same brush? Again, the man is NOT responsible for invasion but could well be on the way to reversing that. Hence the DIFFERENCE. Such a distinction IS fair.

Waar HAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Waar HAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY So it's true? He is going to step down? Now we just need a journalist to throw his shoes at him on behalf of all Somalis :cool:

Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ I am for the political games but it would be unfair to AY if we don't say he too was playing a political game for the eventual 'good' of Somalia. Still, the sticking point is that he WORKED with the Xabashis and this guy also agreed to take the job that AY offered him and WORK with the Xabashis. That there is a peace process in place is neither here nor there. So you're saying because they work for an entity that works in tandem with another they are both the same whilst totally disregarding their ACTIONS to date? Ma saasaa? We can speculate all day long but what sets one person from another is their actions. Usually.

^Whilst trying to get rid of them at the same. Waa rageedii dhe. Surely he is has only been playing the political game you yourself are a fan of. Working with the Ethios in invasion and in retreat are two wholly different issues. The latter can only be applauded (if it happens) whilst the former is and has been opposed by most Somalis. Big difference. ps I still think most of the credit (in Ethio retreat) should go to the 'boys' though.
