Good stuff, I hope they wake up and kiss Iley's feet.

Time to move in. ______________________________________________________________ Hargeisa:- The Somaliland representative offices in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, United Kingdom and the United States are on the verge of closing because Somaliland's erstwhile Foreign Minister, Dr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar has refused to release the small amount of funds needed to cover their operating costs, reliable sources have confirmed to Qarannews.com. According to these sources, the minister, Dr. Omar has refused to release any funds to these missions until the completion of an investigation by the Auditor General of Somaliland currently under way at the ministry to ascertain whether there has been miss-management or miss- appropriation of funds intended for overseas missions. The Auditor General was called in to investigate the ministry by the Somaliland President, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Siilaanyo", after allegations of corruption at the ministry were made by the former Director-General of the ministry, Mohamud Rage Ibrahim, who resigned last month. The former Director-General of the ministry, Mohamud Rage Ibrahim, in his resignation speech had accused the erstwhile minister, Dr. Omar of allegedly miss-appropriating funds intended for a Somaliland mission in the new African country of South Sudan. That allegation had been denied by the minister. Our sources state that the above mentioned Somaliland representative office located in strategically important countries to Somaliland cause will not be able to meet their operation cost and may have to close temporarily until the Auditor General's investigation at the ministry has been concluded. The Somaliland Foreign minister, Dr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar has often stated that Somaliland needs to more professional in its diplomatic endeavours, closing its representative office in these countries, however temporary, appears to contradict that mantra. Already Somaliland representative offices in South Africa and Pakistan have closed due to a lack of funds, even though their operating cost were included in the 2011 budget for the ministry.

Of course, he had to show some respect. That man must have been special, the minds who descended from him are just wow. Take me for example.

They just took the story of the guys in Puntland and made it into a novel. It's a more modern theory to separate from their brothers.

Nonsense. Some of us are descendants of the great Abdirahman Ismail Jeberti. I do not know where the rest of you came from, that is a mystery we must solve. I am willing to take a DNA test but I need cash, so let me know which one that wants to donate.

LOL The Dr, Ph.D candidate caadi ma'aha. :D

It is only proper since the future economy of the country is in PL's hands. With that said, this is so wrong.

That's not federalism, it's civil war. Federalism will come August, with a new President.

History has been made in the US. The Obama administration believes that executive branch reviews of evidence against suspected al-Qaeda leaders before they are targeted for killing meet the constitution’s “due process” requirement and that American citizenship alone doesn’t protect individuals from being killed, Attorney General Eric Holder said in a speech Monday. “Due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security,” Holder said. “The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process.” Broadly outlining the guidelines the Obama administration has used to conduct lethal drone stikes overseas, Holder said the U.S. government could legally target a senior operational al Qaeda leader who is actively engaged in planning to kill Americans if the individual (1) posed an imminent threat of violence; (2) could not feasibly be captured; and (3) if the operation was conducted in line with war principles. Such a use of lethal force against that type of individual, Holder said, wouldn’t violate the executive order banning assassinations or criminal statues because such an act would be in “self defense.” In remarks delivered at Northwestern University Law School in Chicago, Holder also said that targeted killings are not “assassinations,” adding that the “use of that loaded term is misplaced” because assassinations are “unlawful killings” while targeted strikes are conducted lawfully. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has so far refused to release a copy of a legal memorandum justifying the targeted killing of the U.S. born Anwar al-Awlaki, who allegedly inspired several attacks or attempted attacks on the U.S. While not mentioning Anwar al-Awlaki by name — Holder said he “cannot discuss or confirm any particular program or operation” — he arguably referenced his killing by using the example of a U.S. born al Qaeda leader. Holder said that “citizenship alone does not make such individuals immune from being targeted.” Holder also argued that the due process clause of the Constitution did not mean that federal judges had to review decisions to kill individuals the U.S. government claimed were terrorists. “The Supreme Court has made clear that the Due Process Clause does not impose one-size-fits-all requirements, but instead mandates procedural safeguards that depend on specific circumstances,” Holder said. “In cases arising under the Due Process Clause - including in a case involving a U.S. citizen captured in the conflict against al Qaeda - the Court has applied a balancing approach, weighing the private interest that will be affected against the interest the government is trying to protect, and the burdens the government would face in providing additional process,” Holder said. “Where national security operations are at stake, due process takes into account the realities of combat.” Holder said that any decision to use lethal force against a U.S. citizen is “among the gravest that government leaders can face” and that the American people deserve to be assured that actions taking place on their behalf are consistent with values and laws.” Holder said that the “imminent threat” evaluation had to take into account what would happen if the U.S. missed its window of opportunity and said the Constitution did not require the President to “delay action until some theoretical end-stage of planning.” The question of whether the capture of a terrorist is feasible is “a fact-specific, and potentially time-sensitive, question,” said Holder, adding that the “nature of how terrorists act and where they tend to hide” meant capture wasn’t always possible. Holder also said that the administration informs members of Congress about counterterrorism activities and the legal framework for targeting individuals for killing, which he said was part of a system of “robust oversight” “The Constitution’s guarantee of due process is ironclad, and it is essential - but, as a recent court decision makes clear, it does not require judicial approval before the President may use force abroad against a senior operational leader of a foreign terrorist organization with which the United States is at war - even if that individual happens to be a U.S. citizen,” Holder said. Hina Shamsi of the ACLU said ahead ahead of Holder’s speech that the question was whether Holder would offer “meaningful transparency both about the legal standards that the Obama administration uses to determine who can be killed as well as basic facts about who can be targeted.” Daphne Eviatar of Human Rights First called the question of whether al-Awlaki was a U.S. citizen “sort of a red herring.” “You cannot arbitrarily kill individuals that you decided secretly are your enemies, even if they are U.S. citizens,” Eviatar said. “It’s not as if due process only applies to U.S. citizens. The bigger question is what made al-Alwaki targetable, was he an operational leader of al-Qaeda with whom were were at war?”

LulzSec Leader Betrays All of Anonymous According to the FBI, you're looking at Sabu, the head of LulzSec, and the de facto King of Anonymous—easily the most notorious and influential hacker alive today. One thing: he just turned in his people to the police. The name Sabu should be familiar: as part of LulzSec, a potent offshoot of Anonymous, he masterminded legendary attacks against the CIA, FBI, Sony, and numerous other corporate and government targets. He was their Captain Hook. That was before. Fox News reports the shadowy hack deity is not only confirmed to be unemployed 28-year-old New Yorker Hector Xavier Monsegur, but that Sabu has been "collaborating with the government for months," leading to a string of arrests around the world today. It's unclear how many will be dragged down with Sabu's nine months of federal collaborating, but it's safe to assume whatever vestiges of LulzSec remained are toast—we'll know for sure when all of the indictments are unsealed. And according to Fox, the dragnet was thick: On August 15, 2011 Monsegur pleaded guilty to more than ten charges relating to his hacking activity. In the following few weeks, he worked almost daily out of FBI offices, helping the feds identify and ultimately take down the other high-level members of LulzSec and Anonymous, sources said. That's right—the man who helped the internet celebrate #****FBIFridays was doing so from an FBI desk. But only after the feds wielded Sabu's children against him: "He didn't go easy," a law enforcement official involved in flipping Sabu told FoxNews.com. "It was because of his kids. He didn't want to go away to prison and leave them. That's how we got him." I've talked to Sabu multiple times, and on each occasion he's seemed more and more distant, to the point where it was hard to get in touch with him at all. Now, says the FBI, it's because he was busy ratting out his cadre. This also isn't the first time Sabu's been accused as a snitch—a prominent hacker and Sabu-detractor by the name of Virus I spoke with last year ranted about his hunch that the LulzSec leader was a rat: 6:12:32 PM virus: I don't have proof of him being a snitch, and he doesn't have proof of me being a snitch. it's my word against his. 6:15:39 PM virus: he disappeared for a week, I don't recall what day 6:15:52 PM virus: but when he returned he said his grand mother died and that's why he was MIA 6:16:01 PM virus: after that he started offering me money to own people 6:16:14 PM Sam Biddle: anyone important? 6:16:55 PM virus: backtrace security and laurelai 6:17:22 PM virus: he gave me IPs, asked me to access their accounts with their IP and asked me to access their emails 6:17:25 PM virus: told me he would pay me 6:17:42 PM Sam Biddle: did you? 6:17:53 PM virus: no, I found that to be suspicious and declined ... 6:19:19 PM virus: another reason why I believe he was converted after he disappeared and returned is everybody else started getting arrested one by one starting with ryan clearly, who was their ddos ***** 6:19:29 PM virus: yes, I believe he cut a deal to save himself This August conversation jibes perfectly with Fox's report, who says Sabu began working for the FBI in June after they busted him—it's unclear what his fate is now. What is clear is the enormous grin of the feds, who have finally fired one back after almost a year of humiliations and runarounds from Anonymous brass: "This is devastating to the organization," said an FBI official involved with the investigation. "We're chopping off the head of LulzSec." Though LulzSec proper has been dormant since last summer, Sabu has remained a hugely influential character atop a vast cult of personality. The revelation that he's sold out the movement he professed to love so much will deal as much a psychological as logistical blow to Anon. After all, the guy tweeted this, only yesterday: "The federal government is run by a bunch of ******* cowards. Don't give in to these people. Fight back. Stay strong." Whatever you say, Hector.

Is this the only picture he could make on the progress of Puntland and oil exploration? He never even thanked Faroole for making him a full person with full rights, that bothers me more

He's a loser, I actually pity him, what has he ever accomplished?

LOL@Xaaji

Ok, in context it sounds good, I can't disagree, 20 years of stability being in danger is no good. He says there's a progress of becoming a state and they do not meet the criteria.
