<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> Most of the development which goes on in Hargeisa, is done by PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, not the government. Private, patriotic Somalis are the ones who invest in Hargeisa or Mogadishu. They're the ones responsible for all the progress , not the leaders or so-called "Presidents". Whereas the leaders step in and claim credit for projects which were carried out by private organizations or corporations. Malistar always posts pictures of how much progress Mogadishu is going through, but he declines to mention that Culusow isn't responsible for this progress. If anything, he's hindering the progress from taking place faster. The current situation in Hargeisa and Mogadishu is directly the fault of god-fearing Somalis choosing to not get involved in the affairs of their own country. I know dozens of upright, moral, intelligent, and god-fearing Somali men who would do a far better job of governing Somalia than our current crop of leaders. Yet these men choose to stay out of the spotlight. They choose to not get involved and this inevitably leads to unqualified men like Culusow gaining power. This isn't even about tribe, I personally know several Somali men who hail from Culusow's sub-clan, who are far more qualified to be President than he is. We need to be more alert. We can't just expect the situation to fix itself, and every upright and god-fearing Somali man should pressure his clan elders and use whatever leverage he can to help change the situation in Somalia Drkenny, the God-fearing men in Hargeisa and Mogadishu do not get the support they need to lead and change their society. Very few if any would support their mission. In our barely Islamic communities, for one to get to the top, one is expected to lie, bribe, make false accusations, take false and insincere oaths in the name of Allah, break promises, slander opponents, create problems and conflicts in the society, create mistrust and enmity among the people, use tribalism at every opportunity, support every wrong-doer who joins their ranks, etc. Now tell me who in their right mind would so openly repel against the Almighty Lord just to be a president or get some other office?

So what is the purpose of this mashruuc? Is it just an attempt to "Islamatise" the gaalo bikini contest aka miss world?

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> Strange how Somalis keep electing the worst possible leaders to govern their country. Whether its in Hargeisa or in Mogadishu....the game continues. While the honest, patriotic Somalis tend to choose to stat away from politics and all that buuq, this gives the most corrupt Somalis the space and ability to maneuver their way into power. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."-- Edmund Burke There is very little faith in and fear of Allah in every Somali community. That is why the bad people keep getting power. No God-fearing Muslim will ever give his or her support to a known munaafaq.

Mr Oodwayne even if Kulmiye is voted out next year, the alternative governments which would take its place will be just as useless, clanish, and corrupt as the one we have now. I really have very little faith in any of our politicians. May Allah help us.

The only reason I support Somaliland is the believe that Somaliland as a political entity could be a winning formula for our people and lift millions out of poverty. But sadly it seems that we have learned nothing from our turbulent history and as a result foolishly allowed few self-serving satanic men to divide and corrupt our society. In its current trajectory, Somaliland is probably going nowhere.

<cite> @somalee said:</cite> And what were the contributions of this particular community with regards to the fighting of the injustices of Siad Barre? Do you know what side of the fight they were on? And what their suldaans used to say those days? It does not matter what side they were on during our fight against Siyaad Barre or what their sultans used to say about us 23 years ago. What matters now is that every community in Somaliland is treated fairly and the national resources shared equally among them. If what Galbeedi said about the situation in Awdal is true then I will be the fist man to support their fight against mistreatment by others. And if they can't get justice peacefully they should break away from Somaliland and bring it down, I would hate to see a re-incarnation of the oppressive, corrupt, and divisive kacaan 23 years later in another form and with a different name.

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> Only a complete and utter narcissist like Alpha would have a forum page dedicated solely to him, where he chats nonsense for 834 pages. And this thread has been going on for TWO YEARS. Alpha uses this forum and this particular thread to feed his ego, that's all. I can see right through this character. Saaxiib you are right. Alpha's monumental ego is unnatural and unsustainable :-D He is the only guy in SOL's nearly 23 million strong population to set up a temple in the form of this cantarbaqash thread for the self-glorification of his very questionable online character.

I don't think that name is at all difficult to pronounce. The guy has reading problems because saying that that Thai name is as straight forward as any Indian or other Asian name. He would indeed struggle if he was asked to say this name: http://www.presstv.com/detail/2014/11/26/387574/zimbabwe-what-next-after-mugabe/ Watch it from 02:00 minutes :-D

<cite> @somalee said:</cite> Thank you Mr Erdogan, your intentions are pure and good. Now lets hope Qoslaaye doesn't use these nephews of his to bomb an 'enemy' clan. Lool :-D I think before any bombing raids are carried out, he has to deal with the minor problem of finding fighter jets given their high prices and the on going UN sanctions .

Alpha these are the sort of exclusive stories and tabloid editorial which made you a celebrity journalist in SOL's Fleet street :-D

Lool the title :-D Mr Axmad why don't you tell these maamullo to let Addis and Kampala do the talks on their behalf?

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> Oi, do you mean to tell me you can read the quran. Don't insult my intelligence, abti. the only things you read are glossy magazines. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL How dare you insult me!!

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> rageedi....... Can you elaborate?

Mogadishu will prosper if the HAGs there continue playing their cards well and tell the world that they rule "Somalia" whilst they spend every dollar given to them in their city and their region. Why should they really care about Puntland and other places if that means sharing the aid given to them in the name of "Somalia" and the other benefits of having the capital city?

It is a clear tyranny hostile to anything Islamic but the answer this awful problem is surely not terrorism or a regression back to stone age.

<cite> @CidanSultan said:</cite> I don't know any of the people that were killed. And it's wrong if they were innocent. I don't think you or I are in a position to argue this former soldier turned aid worker was innocent or not. I don't know him and you don't know him. Volume 9, Book 88, Number 185:Narrated Abu Musa:The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which (religious) knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and general ignorance will spread, and there will be Al-Harj in abundance, and Al-Harj means killing."

<cite> @somalee said:</cite> Succeed or secede? The man can't even correctly pronounce what he's trying to say. Besides that, why is an opinion of a Borama man even important to begin with? The opinion of the people of Boorama is of course vital in any national debate but the opinion of some qurbojoog like the African American in this video counts for nothing indeed.

<cite> @Odey said:</cite> Motion defeated for the third and final time. Damuljadid threw everything they had at this. Lets not make this into a qabil argument, its not!. This is an ideological argument. Both sides have supporters across the tribal divide. You are fooling yourself if you think this is an "ideological argument" and not a tug of war between the D block and the Hag.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> have you heard about the Kenyan bus siege. apparently they dividedd the passenagers into Muslim and gaal. what was particularly impressive was the method they employed to differeniate between muslim and gaal.......they had to read the quran. thats ingenious. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL i'd probably fail.so too would Dr Kenny. Kenny, You douchbag Whats your beef with Alpha? Oh it is sad you can't read the Holy Quran. If some Christian crusaders were to do the same and I was in the bus, I can probably get away unharmed by reading from the Bible with an added hallelujah :-D

This kid is such an embarrassment to his community. He knows nothing about Awdal or Somali politics and in his unfortunate nativity was used by the khaatumo warlords as a baseless propaganda tool. I suggest he learns Somali first before he ridicules himself again in a public arena.

^ In the last two decades western justice system has been eroded by the mass media and public hysteria. The hugely important principle of "innocent until proven guilty" seems to be rendered irrelevant when high profile figures are accused so publicly, humiliated, their careers destroyed, their reputation tarnished, and relationships put in jeopardy well before they get the chance to clear their names through the courts. The charge of "Rape" is also being so over used by the authorities to convict mostly innocent people for actions like having sex with a drunk woman.

Guys you can't reason with Ciidansultan, you are just wasting your time. He is the perfect example of what western politicians call "brainwashed".

<cite> @Mooge said:</cite> this is fake dream wet dream of somalilanders. we see this all the time niyoow. they make up a picture to get people's attention. the two pictures are not even close niyoow. Do you realise this is a private business and has nothing to do with "Somalilanders" or politics?

I don't think the finished building will look like the one in the photo. What is constructed so far looks quite small in comparison.

<cite> @SomaliaPatriot said:</cite> Iam not praying. It is already happening. Maamulka Soomalidiidka is broken alongside subclan lines. In burco that is visible for any person with eyes. In Sool Sanaag and Cayn there is popular resistance against the clan enclave maamulka amxaarkalkaalland. The state built on clannism is dying. Soon we going to hear about jabhad in Awdal Region rising up against the Middle Clan. Keep daydreaming about it :-D
