OK, it seems as though you have posted something stating that: a) the ICU would like the old concept of a united Somalia back, and b) that they would like some sort of talks with both Somaliland, Puntland and the TFG entities. Where does it say they wish to rule? Not good enough sonny Jim.

This merits a post of it's own.

Inside the Moque The tomb of Prophet Yahya (Calayhi Salaam) but this is not 100% concrete as this information is second hand. The mosque was previously a Church where they said was the site of John the Baptist's tomb. The Pulpit The columns and roof trusses. Best indicator of the time of construction (a long time ago). The souq around the Mosque People enjoying their Eid

More Ethios have crossed the border today - Stability indeed

Ethiopia leaves key Somali town Ethiopian troops have withdrawn from a key town in central Somalia. Islamist insurgents say they now control Guriel, where Ethiopia had a big military base to secure the road linking the two countries. A BBC correspondent in Somalia says it is not clear why the Ethiopian troops withdrew without any fighting. Guriel was a stronghold of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which lost power to Ethiopian-backed government troops a year ago this week. The BBC's Ayanleh Hussein in Guriel says residents have been cheering the Ethiopians' departure. During the occupation the local hospital was out of use as it was used as the Ethiopians' military base, he says. Meanwhile, unrest continues in the capital, Mogadishu, where most Ethiopian forces in the country have been based since last year's invasion, which ended the UIC's six-month rule. The bodies of four civilians were discovered after battles between insurgents and Ethiopian troops on Thursday around the animal market in the north of the city. Somalia has been politically fragmented since 1991 and the country's transitional government, faced with an insurgency, is dependent on international aid and Ethiopian military support. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7162957.stm

LoL Cadaan. I have a few week left before my 25th

:rolleyes: Provide me with some sort of back-up for the ICU wishing to 'rule' Somalia (including SL). If this is not possible I hope you are prepared to retract your earlier statement.

^^Are you seriously suggesting that the election results were accurate when all are pointing towards a blatant manipulation of the results? Cant say I'm surprised though ya Duke. EU casts doubts over Kenyan poll There are fears of further violence over the disputed election results Kenya's presidential poll was "flawed" and "fell short of international standards", EU election monitors have said in an interim report on the poll. Chief European Union monitor Alexander Graf Lambsdorff said the tallying process "lacked credibility". Four Kenyan election commissioners have also expressed unease at the result. Thousands of police and soldiers have been deployed across the country to try to stop the violence which followed the re-election of President Mwai Kibaki. The Red Cross says at least 120 people have been killed since violence broke out in response to the disputed result. See how the vote was split around the country Poll doubts EU observers said the country's election fell short of international standards. "They were marred by a lack of transparency in the processing and tallying of presidential results, which raises concerns about the accuracy of the final results," the EU team said in a statement. In pictures: Poll violence Voters' views Defiance under fire According to the EU, in at least two constituencies - Molo and Kieni - the results that were announced did not reflect the number of votes cast. EU observers say they heard the voting figures being announced in Molo itself, but when the same results were announced again in Nairobi, the number of votes for Mr Kibaki was significantly higher - by 25,000. Four of the 22 Kenyan election commissioners have expressed doubts about the veracity of the figures. One of the four, Jack Tumwa, told the BBC he felt uncomfortable as the results were read out. "After the announcement, when an independent observer from the EU group came and said the figures given for Molo were at variance with what we had announced, that really struck me hard," he told the BBC. "That's why we felt if that is true - and I'm also saying if that is true - then perhaps it was spread all over. But this is yet to be ascertained." Mr Kibaki was declared the winner on Sunday after a controversial three-day counting process. His defeated challenger, Raila Odinga, said he was robbed of victory by alleged fraud. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7166590.stm

There have been many petitions and studies forwarded to the govnt asking them to ban it. They dont see any benefit in banning it. Until they do, it will continue to be sold all over the country. Helping Somalis and their families is not seen as a benefit.
