Anook, look at how many SOLers you attacked today or tried to silence their voice, going as far as to kick them out of SOL (asking Adminisrator). 1. Barwaaqo 2. Suldaanka 3. Holac 4. Old_Observer 5. Amigos Your behavior is becoming suspicious saxib. You are more like a hired troll to damage the forum. As for me and my clan, I don't have to disclose anything to you. I am who I am. I am Somali. I love all Somalis. I respect all Somalis and Non-Somalis on this fora.

MBS's back is against the wall on my many fronts.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia are two key countries for ensuring permanent peace and stability in the Middle East, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said late Wednesday during an official visit to the Kingdom. "It is necessary for both Saudi Arabia and Turkey to work jointly, not only for the benefits of two countries individually but also for regional and global peace," Yıldırım added. "We have discussed the ways to improve our bilateral trade and cooperation in the defense industry. I can say that we share almost the same view in terms of ways of solution for the matters concerning us and the region," he concluded. Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad Bin Salman will visit Turkey soon, Yıldırım also announced after a meeting with the prince. Yıldırım arrived in Saudi Arabia earlier on the same day. The prime minister first met the Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz. Yıldırım and Salman agreed on the necessity of taking a common stance to protect the Palestinians' rights, according to prime ministerial sources. Riyadh, a close U.S. ally, and NATO member Ankara have both slammed U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to upend decades of careful Washington policy, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In an hour-long closed-door meeting, the two leaders discussed the importance of Jerusalem's status, the sources said on conditions of anonymity. They also agreed that the Muslim countries should take a common stance on the protection of the rights of the Palestinians. They said the U.N. General Assembly's decision to reject the U.S. move on Jerusalem has sent a strong message. The meeting also discussed bilateral relations as well as the deep-rooted historical and religious ties between Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The state-controlled Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said King Salman received Prime Minister Binali Yıldirım in Riyadh and discussed "means of boosting bilateral ties and developments in the region," without providing details. https://www.dailysabah.com/diplomacy/2017/12/27/turkey-saudi-arabia-key-for-ensuring-peace-in-the-region-pm-yildirim-says

The statement by the Honorable Minister is in line with the recent Houthi video. It is all part of a smart campaign to make sure the port deal is revisited. Hawlo badan oo qabyo ahba jira (Translation: UAE must pay more).

Haha. If I didn't like you, I would take offense to the fact you called me a troll, albeit a modified one. jokes aside, saxib hadaa meesha SOL dadka ka caydhisaan, yaa idinla doodaya? if your intentions is good, soo dhawee people and encourage open lively discussion saxib.

Same passionate supporters of Somaliland, just different sub-clans I think. I don't believe Suldaanka and Barwaaqo are paid trolls because I have seen them comment on other topics that are not related to Somaliland.

Galbeedi, I never thought Old_Observer was Somali. He could also be Somali with strong ties to TPLF (remember Illey was crying helpless when Meles died). Does it matter though? He is informative and plays by the rules. Isn't it our job to counter views we don't agree with? OO, I didn't know Ethiopia was instrumental in getting ICC off Al-Bashir's back. Al-Sisi is a merciless dictator who is murdering his own people. I have not come across any Somali who likes that man. Don't be surprised if you hear Egypt and Saudi Arabia are planning to counter Erdogan's move on Sudan.

I once met a brother called Abdi-Abdi. He said that his grandmother gave him the name. Now that takes the crown. Here is another interesting fact. Some Somali parents also name their daughters Abdo or Cabdo/Cabda.

lol@ Zombie. Kenya wants to build a buffer zone at the expense of Somali land.

Bad boys.

Uplifting message from Farmaajo. Villa Somalia's media office is finally focusing on the things that make this government look good. Nobody should be telling us who to welcome, who to be friends with and who to listen to. The Arabs had 30 years to help the suffering Somalis. Instead, the wealthy fat sheikhs chose to "fulfil their jihad obligations" by secretly funding terrorist Al-shabab. The game is over.

Thank you sister Seeker.

I have never looked into this, but how does African border demarcation work? Are there exact GPS coordinates that clearly indicate where the line should occur?

There is no interest for Somaliland to support a terrorist organization like Feto. The school can be run by the Turkish government. The support that People of Somaliland have for Turkey and Erdogan was never in question. I hope Turkey can give strong support to Somaliland and rebuild its education system.

The Turks are very interested in Yemen because of historic ties. Many Yemenis trace their roots to Turkey including Tawakal Karman, the Yemeni Nobel laureate whose family comes from the Karaman Province of Turkey. But Turkey doesn't want to see the Shiite domination of the region and for that, the Houthis are not their choice to lead Yemen. Complicating the Yemen situation, however, is Turkey's deteriorating relations with the Gulf countries after Qatar was isolated. Publicly, Turkey supports the Saudi-led coalition to oust the Houthis.

Abdi is everywhere. Sadly, it is not a name you want to carry crossing international borders. The chances of you having the same name as a filthy ISIS fanboy is very high. I know few dudes who always get pulled into the darkroom for further questioning when travelling.

AMAs are supposed to be honest.

How old are you?

What topics do you prefer to comment? ie politics, etc

Welcome A.M. Where in the UK?

By all means, post any interesting Somali related images you find out there. Don't forget to give us the what/where/who details, if possible. Aloog Power Station in Borama.

OO, the numbers I posted are 2017 obligations, not historic disbursements. Donald Trump is running the US and we shouldn't be basing aid numbers on historical averages. If you want to find the amount US gives to countries including categories (education, agriculture, security, etc), the USAID website has very comprehensive data. https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/SOM?fiscal_year=2017&measure=Obligations

MBS has Jared on his payroll. No accountability.
