Odey, he's too unrecognised to be jailed at the most prestigious jail cells in the world.

That's all set and done but we mustn't forget the circumstances and the intentions of him and his opponents, context is the difference here, dear lad!

Ok, so you saying Kulmiye will, I am sorry but that's his legacy, if they achieve recognition under Kulmiye, he will be credited!

He sent them in after his government was about to crumble in the face of hostile Islamists which then turned out to be clannists, would you let Somaliland die in the face of clannist Islamists? Come on sir, come dear man, oh come on!

I am afraid I have to disagree with you. Now, I give credit where credit is due, but Siilaanyo, I mean he messed up big time. I am going to do him the favour of not mentioning these obvious mistakes. This latest ploy is just a sign of desperation due to his track record of failure. I think he's going to hold out these talks till election time to try and score himself another term.

Which HTC you got?

He's not going to get sovereignty, it's very obvious, the latest blow comes from our new federal constitution. We must unite!

My God, kan maxaa ka si ah. This isn't about me or people from Puntland. This is about two different armies, what the hell don't you understand? Kulahaa "coastal immigration", war kan muu fiyooyahay? Wow.

No, areas where people from "Bosaso" settled were hinterlands and Somali people are known as travellers so it wasn't a forceful take, others bought. But this is not about me, Puntland or the very tribe you Somalidiid's are obsessed with. This is about two armies, each coming from different direction to capture the same city. What makes this match interesting is that both armies' survival depends on capturing this city, this makes it much more competitive, much more passionate and much more thrilling to viewers.

The indigenous people of Kismayo don't have a say and they aren't part of the Game of Jubboyinka. We are simply watching an interesting match, run along now. Why, why do you need to go and embarrass yourself further, a Somalidiid being done wrong by another Somalidiid during their Somalidiid hour of crisis, come ooon mate..

No it is not claimed though you don't need to deny that people from "Bosaso" had great historic present there. I am merely looking at this as a spectator, a spectator to the Game of Jubboyinka and I want the best man to win. But you, failure since 1991, and still a failure in 2012 to even get the basic recognition, please exit to topic peacefully.

Ok. This is my prediction. AMISOM will arrive. The place will be governed by the federal government till elections are carried out. That's it. Bye bye.

The Kenyan military appears well on its course to clearing Al-Shabaab from the strongholds near the border that the militants have held since 2006. But the question which hangs over the whole enterprise is: Who will fill the void left by Al-Shabaab? Are the administrations being installed in the areas liberated from the militants strong enough to resist the militants once Kenyans pull out? And what is Kenya’s long-term objective when its surprise incursion into Somalia comes to an end? A tour of the areas from which the Shabaab have been pushed out and interviews with local players offers a broad outline of the central idea behind the military offensive. The mission — long denied by Kenya — is to create a semi-autonomous zone similar to Puntland in much of southern Somalia, from which the Shabaab cannot operate with a free hand near Kenya’s border. Under this vision, the region would be controlled by whomever the elders of the dominant Mohamed Zuber clan pick to be their leader. That leadership would head a government of a federal unit near the Kenyan border, with its headquarters in Kismayu. It is a strategy that carries both risks and benefits. Kenya appears to have succeeded in luring to its side some of the key power players in southern Somalia, especially the former Islamic Courts Union chief in the region, Sheikh Ahmed Madobe, and one of the main generals in the Somali National Army, Brig Gen Ismael Sahardid. But this approach is likely to face resistance from whoever emerges as the president of the whole of Somalia once elections are held at the end of the transitional period in August. That could raise the spectre of conflict between the centre and the emerging semi-autonomous regions such as the one in the south and others that exist such as Galmudug and Puntland further north. To adopt federalism According to Sheikh Madobe, the head of Ras Kamboni Brigade, which has been fighting alongside the Kenyans, there is no alternative but for Somalia to adopt federalism. “We have fought for 24 years because of the problems that began in Mogadishu. I don’t think we will now go back to absolute central control by Mogadishu. “We can have a central government there but with majimbo that allows people to make their own decisions.” Brig Gen Sahardid sounds a more cautious note. He says Somalia’s problems began when people felt that resources were being dominated by Mogadishu. But he says the question of the degree of federalism Somalia will adopt should be left to the constitution drafters. If the south comes into confrontation with Mogadishu, it would mean that Kenya by extension could be sucked into a wider conflict. The most important question for the Kenyan security establishment is what becomes of Al-Shabaab. History suggests few groups that embrace terrorism and unconventional warfare have been defeated through purely military means in the last few decades. The only exception to the rule might be the Tamil Tigers, which waged a violent secession war from 1983 until they were defeated by the Sri Lankan army in 2002. Other confrontations with militant extremists have ended in untidy compromises. In Iraq, the US was facing a long, bloody war against Al-Qaeda until the “Anbar Awakening” where local Sunnis got fed up with the group’s tactics such as large-scale suicide bombings and turned against the Al-Qaeda fighters. In Chechnya, the Russians dealt with the bloody separatist campaign by rebels in that territory by co-opting one of the leading rebels, Akhmad Kadyrov, who imposed order in the Caucasus. He was assassinated in 2004 and succeeded by his son, Ramzan Kadyrov. What will be the future of Al-Shabaab? Prediction by some military sources, who sought anonymity, is that they will break into smaller groups that will attempt to regroup in neighbouring countries such as Kenya, Yemen and Somaliland. This process is already under way with reports that some senior Al-Shabaab leaders have crossed into Yemen. From there, it is expected they will attempt to stage terror attacks in the region, operating in sleeper cells much as they did before they became a well-known force in 2006. That means countries such as Kenya will have to redouble their efforts to tackle extremism. In the short-term, the Kenyans plan to continue with their strategy of moving forward progressively, building up new administrations in each area they move into. The projection is that the Kenyan withdrawal will pave the way for a peace-keeping force stationed in former Al-Shabaab strongholds in Somalia. http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Who+will+fill+Al+Shabaab+void/-/1056/1434944/-/item/1/-/rb7m6gz/-/index.html

He used to look out of place and confused.

Waa maalintii SNM soo gashey LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I love them.

rudy, AUN but the way you tell the story man.. "he passed out", I don't want to laugh but seriously man ..

Che, I forgot you told me you were Reer Bari wasn't it? It's quite hot there, this time of year.

Since 2010 there's been a lot of construction in the city, it looks better. Let it flourish for the next 5 years, I saw the photos these past weeks, it looks great. The other cities have had time to grow.

The reason I find it funny is because it's just the place for you, no doubt about that.

Carafaat, Gaalkacyo maxaa ka arkee?

You like them swimming camels huh

I'm shedding tears here, look at them, and look at us. That's all I have to say.
