Dr Kenny, the problem is not finding the "strong man" you desperately need for Somalia- there are millions of such men, even in this forum as every Somali wants to be a dictator. The real problem and the root cause of many of Somalia's problems is what is the CLAN of the "strong man" going to be

<cite> @Dalmar1 said:</cite> Sxb walahi lately you have been getting on my nerve here with your daily calacaal!,...bro Focus on Somaliland (that's robbing your people and land) and not this pathetic out cry on the SFG. I know you don't like SFG because of their Qabiil, but please have some dignity by reserving yourself like a gentlemen and not like a female on her period, it makes you look silly, really silly! And as for PIS and puntland army being strong, I say nothing except that its ridiculous and a joke and that you should only look at your own and beesha history, of how when 1 Sub Sub Sub Sub SubSub of H block that lives in Galkacyo took on and obliterated the entire D block into an almost extinction, truely they conquered by themselves Bari to Kismayo Gedo!,..?but non the less war is bad and peace is good, so watch your self because you never know if 90's lesson is lurking in the corner and might be repeated! So sxb walaahi I'm not a warmonger never were, but your childish remarks really infuriated!,..so please refrain yourself next time, because you and I have the same interest which is to have peace across Somalia and to combat those illegal secessionists in triangle state, so please let's start afresh and work toward peaceful SOMALIA insha'allah! You can't start afresh when you threatened his entire clan with genocide and extinction. The doctor was telling the truth when he said Abdi Wali is calling for AMISOM to occupy South Gaalkacayo and other HAG areas to fight its dirty war on your doorstep and backyard to keep Puntland safe. I must admit the subjects of the Sultanate of Maj-tenia are a clever lot.

Why is Mr Simpson treated like a piece of sh!t in this photo?

Another teashop gossip website. There is no shred of truth in what these websites say.

Sii galbin iyo soo galbin is why every bloody clan wants their strongman to be the damn president. Somalis have a very limited idea about the role of leadeship and government in society. We think its all about clan prestige and not about serving the needs of the whole society. I hope professor Samatar joins KULMIYE and becomes its candidate for the next presidential election.

^^ Exactly. And what will Ethiopia do about SSC and the people who live there? The land is in the hands of its owners- the SSC people, and Ethiopia cannot simply come in and hand it over to Puntland. Abdi Wali should come up with something better.

<cite> @Mad_Mullah said:</cite> Inna lillahi! He gets rich and instead of hooking up with a xalimo he gets some Bantu that looks like a boy! No racist but look at the first pic, wallahi I thought it was a guy. Well with that statement you are indeed being a racist.

<cite> @SomaliPhilosopher said:</cite> im struggling with this chick. SP's charm is just not working on this one. I am close to raising the white flag Yes I know Safferz is one hell of a tough nut. Alpha once made an amateur attempt but sadly ended up biting the dust. Give it up mate

<cite> @Tillamook said:</cite> ^^ Oo maxaa u tiri saas, Akhii Tallaabo? I am the bearer of glad tidings and progress in this thread. Oh yeah, with that intimidating avatar you surely are the "bearer of glad tidings" but anyway at least your English is much better than that of Somalilandsun.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> there's nothing to celebrate here. .......for the strongwomanphobes.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Waryaa Ciidan Suldaan, Why don't you quit the Somali-Somaliland debate and keep writing these geopolitical issues. I think what you saying really makes sense. If Ukraine goes, others inside the Russian Federation will implode. In Crimea the Majority of the Russians are TarTar Muslims,there are many more ethnic groups that are prosecuted in Russia. I know people complain about the excess of United States , but If a ruthless communist or Godless Chinese takes over, may God help us. For better or for worse America will be there. They accept their mistakes, they debate openly and eventually correct them. The election of Obama was America reversing it's Iraqi blunder. In Chechenya Putin murdered 80,000 people. no one can ask him or debate about the merit of that war. If you talk about it you might be even killed. I will take the U.S.a any time when it comes to the Russians or Chinese. I share your sentiments about America and the West in general. I can never trust China and Russia with a geopolitical power as big as that of the Western world. They would be truly evil.

<cite> @CidanSultan said:</cite> ^^^ stocks go up and Down based on perception: it will go up and down based on investor confidence. However that like I said Europe will never put sanctions on Russia or else all our gas bills and petrol bills increase and if that increases all our products prices go up. Islam will conquer Russia trough demographics eventually. Ukraine joining Europe just limits Russia's economic future strategic ambition. An isolated Russia will not be a good place to invest in especially for those businesses with Western connections, therefore it is this real economic threat which the Russian currency and the stock market are reacting to.

The Moscow stock exchange is already down by 12 points today and the Western world's backlash has not even started. Putin has bitten more than he could chew.

Tilla's avatar is quite intimidating and it suits his mood nowadays.

@ OdaySomali I believe you have good opinion and a positive intention but let me ask you two questions. 1. What was the reason for the choice the people of Somaliland made in 1960 to give up their sovereignty in favour of a union with the South? 2. And what did they gain from that union?

<cite> @SomaliPhilosopher said:</cite> Hassan said nothing about the capability of Somali women. He simply inquired into his perceived lack of diversification. This is revealing of your personality. Creating issues of women capability out of thin air. a magician truly. What are you trying to get at? You are a socially conscious human? What is your final act of the night? Maybe you will "refute" SP's "claim" of the inferiority of the white panda Given that Somalis consider nursing to be a micky mouse subject which is a wrong perception, there was an implication in Hassan's remark that our girls are intellectually lazy to do the more challenging fields. So your claim has no basis.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> are you saying Tallabo is white and a mole? this guy/ chick is very knowledgeable of Somali affairs, you know. Lol

<cite> @BusDriver said:</cite> What's confusing to me is that you tickle my fancy! So this conversation degenerated into a confrontation before assuming the shape of an amusing shukaansi lol.

It looks like you have an insider knowledge of this dirty business Mr Alpha!! Do you run one of those local NGOs?

<cite> @SomaliPhilosopher said:</cite> Reports already say he will not hand over the port given certain conditions were not fulfilled by the Somali government. What are those conditions?

This is getting ridiculous. The Somalis in Jigjiga are very close to taking up the bad culture of Bantu Africa where they dance for and shake their bottoms at every passer-by. It is worrying that the Somalilanders are starting to follow this ugly trend. We are Muslims and so this thing needs to stop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF9UeKb1Gds

I think he is an honest man and stood for what he believed when he was in Mogadishu and still stands for what he believes now in Somaliland.

<cite> @BusDriver said:</cite> @Tallabo..I'm actually a graduate ..a long time ago graduate ..I dnt know where u going with this ..I urge you to cease and detest this attempt at character assassination I don't do character assassinations. My remark was intended to refute your claim that Somali girls do only nursing which is not true. Anyone who has gone to a university will know that the Somali girls are just as capable of doing any academic discipline as men.

^^ Why do you support FGM Mr Alpha?
