Che, at a point when people are being beheaded by a deviant sect looking for the slightest excuse to recruit kids, this debate about the lack of female politicians is trivial. We have deep problems in Somalia and this is not one of them. It would be nice if Somali women were 50% of parliament, but today is not the day to be fighting for gender equality in politics. It is not not a problem in our country and people are not dying because of it. This new outrage is a distraction and plays well into the hands of Alshabab. Let us fight against terrorism first.

It was a tough Ramadan (long hours) but we made it. Ciid Mubarak to you all.

This is pure evil. If you ever doubted who these people are, take notice.

I agree with Galbeedi. This is not the right time to be debating trivial matters such as gender equality. This will only help the takfiiri shayadiins. Let us rid the country off these terrorists before we debate gender equality.

A direct flight from Dubai to Bosaso is the best news for Bosaso Airport and Puntland. Well done to whoever that started this.

and shop at these narrow streets.

The Turkish people are brave people. Galbeedi, have you seen this video of the police man finishing a terrorist right before the vermin blows himself up. I am glad the police man is safe. He kept pounding him and then flees the scene. That takes guts.

Far less news coverage No mass facebook profile changes to Turkish flag No outrage in any of the reporting and "analysis" Blaming Erdogan and his policies I am just saying .... what if it was London or Brussels?

Tallaabo, Saalax is still honorable opposition to Siilaanyo regime.

Ethiopia believes that the reason Alshabab hasn't targeted Ethiopia is because of "collective punishment". Any one who is suspected of helping Alshabab is killed along with hundreds of family members from the surrounding villages. There is no space for Alshabab to hide or operate. There are government snitches everywhere who will report troublemakers because of fear of what the Habesha will do to them and their families. It is a tactic mainly used by Isreal.

Qanyare's family has a dark dark history.

Our people are the most stupid on this planet. What will this guy gain from this shenanigan? Little publicity and clan pride while thousands of women and children are on the verge of being displaced? He is dumb.

A good move. It is time to hit the Ethiopian regime where it hurts the most.

I didn't know that Somalis do business with Isreal.

Disgraceful and shameless.

Very sad situation. Alshabab was created to inflict unspeakable damage on the Somalis. I hope we survive this heavy test.

He is Somali Bantu.

hehe. Saalax, 50 Somalis were killed and you think that a shorty leaning forward, making a head gesture means Ethiopia has surrendered and all should be forgiven. What could Somaliland really do to Ethiopia? Illay is the boss of Gaashaamo as we speak and his thugs are roaming around the area looking for more people to kill. Let us be realistic and not delude ourselves saxiib.

100% agree that Liyu is a criminal enterprise. Why are they always targeting these communities? The families of the deceased must go after Illey and his cohorts. It is time to put an end to this group.

^^ It may very well be true that Somaliland funds Alshabab, but if the locals didn't support Alshabab, these terrorists would not be able to plot carnage or hide in Mogadishu. It is very clear to all.

Abdi-Iley has been killing innocent people for years. What is different now? What will change?

Deeq, your need to take responsibility and acknowledge Alshabab is strong in Mogadishu because of the support it gets from the locals. Blaming others for your own failure is considered weakness.

Ramadaan waangsan ya'all.
