^^^good to see ya saxib I havent played for a while and havnt seen the rest of the boys since the summer, but bring it on!

^^warya, hows kangaroo country? u heading over here soon?

^^^dont be surprised mate :rolleyes:

^^^lol there is petrol station in Burco, but will the tiger follow? Smith I have been posting on here for a few years, and your desparation is some what astonishing, your arguments are less concise these days and your views seem hazed. What has happened saxib? Your always jumping on something, most of the time that something is not even there. It has got to the stage where i can actually feel your hate towards anything Somaliland through the computer screen. No doubt you will call it patriatism with your usual brash answers and old school 'somaliweyn' talk. What i've been emphasising is the Somalia/Somaliland will not be the same again, nor will there be the same 'pre war' relations, not for a long time at least. Now i am sick and tired of your tirades at Somaliland and its ppl. You blindly comment on Somaliland without answering any questions on the stability of Somalia. Now i can come up with a list similar to yours and boast of how much better Somaliland is doing, but i only have hope that somalia will soon be in a similar situation. Grow up saxib and take time out before you become obsessed (if your not already) with the whole subject. Dont let it take over your life or change your ways to ppl. I know a few ppl who have done those shrink type courses, need a contact any just holla.

its been 14 years and so called Somaliland is in a worse situation than it ever was. We can two and through silly little comments all day, but the fact of the matter is, somalia is far more of a bad state than Somaliland. This will take at 'least' 5 years to stabalise, and thats being very optomistic. The international community including good ol Britian is rushing to recognise President Yusuf's new government. A government that needs a location to start doing what its supposed to. So who is in the Somali government apart from C Yusuf? :confused:

Lol@Ayoub Nice gabey geezer!

Somali peace activist I started my peace activities in early 1991 when my husband, a famous Somali businessman, was killed when trying to end the war between the late President Mohammed Siad Barre and United Somali Congress (USC) rebels. I decided to carry on my husband's peace work. Clan warfare It was not easy to preach peace because everyone believed in their own clan and thought that I was also trying to promote my clan. The worst period was when warlords Ali Mahdi Mohamed and the late Gen Mohamed Farah Aidid fought in the capital, Mogadishu, from November 1991 up to March 1992. Thousands were killed and many more fled their homes. No-one did much to help the poor people. I was very happy when the United Nations decided to intervene. Market women I realized that Somali women were the real victims of the civil war. Most have never gone to school so the only thing I could was to help them start small businesses. About 80% of stall-holders at the Bakaraha market, like Dunia Moalim ® belong to the Webi Shabele women chamber of commerce, which I head. This has enabled me to get women from different clans to support my activities of peace between rival clans. Warlord trouble In 2000, I met with other Somali women peace activists, like Halima Sheikh ®. We decided to form a group to work together for peace and development. We called our group G60, as we are 60 women. We started to meet with warlords and the transitional government leaders. It was very difficult, as some warlords did not welcome peace activities led by women. Hospital We are also trying to provide social services. We are repairing Banadir hospital, a government hospital for mothers and children, which closed 10 years ago. We told the militias who were at the hospital that we needed the hospital to again provide services to the public. They handed it over to us without any trouble. Now, Fadumo Ahmed Ali ® has somewhere to treat her three-year-old son for cholera. School We opened a primary school for the children of displaced people in a camp at Mogadishu's former air force headquarters. We supplied school books and other materials to 350 students at this school. As most of the parents of these students are poor, we sometimes bring a doctor to do medical check-ups on them. The UN children's agency, Unicef, and Somali businessmen also assist the school. Militias Mogadishu is much calmer than it used to be. We helped residents of nine districts set up their own teams of security guards. We run some rehabilitation schools, such as this one in Medina, where about 400 former militiamen are learning how to live peaceful lives. We have also helped reopen roads that had been closed for the last decade.

AFRICA The life of an Ethiopian Herder & his family We always carry guns; and many of us still carry the curved knives called jile. We need to protect ourselves and our animals because there has always been conflict between the Afars – our people – and the Issa people nearby. There is more conflict now that there’s less land and because the Issa are pastoralists too.

Common now United where not playing football mate they were there to make sure they broke out players and they sure did a grand job too. Its a mans games saxib, Ave-it

Finally, 49 and out! No doubt arsenal fans will feel aggreived by the penalty, but i have one word for them, Pirez, what goes around comes around! Arsenal can handle the big games, i have said it many time before, when they are not playing Southampton and Charlton, they get a lucky win at home agains PSV and 2 away draws in the CL. Now Man Utd have beaten them, this shows they cant handle the big games, no bottle. Thats why thell 'not' win the CL for a long time to come! They will still win the Prem tho!

Ministers tend to sit around and do nothing and at the asme time go to all the official functions. I would rather work within a department, such Transport, Education or Development, do some 'real' work for your country! Shoobaro, hate to be the bearer of bad news but there isnt much construction going on at the moment due to the Dollar being strong again and the Shilling loosing value everyday. Therefore being constructive is actually un-constructive in financial terms!

The guy is dead, we shouldnt say such things, let Allah swt deal with it. No further comment
