There are indications that this may not be Al-shbaab. Al-shabaab killers always avoid the risk of being captured or their " horjoogayaal implicated, so they murder people in quite way, or a manner which guarantees escape. Here, early reports indicate, the Car the " Marxuumada" was riding was chased few blocks before they sprayed with high number of bullets. also, they committed the murder in a zone full of government soldiers and other security apparatus that guard the big Hotels. It was a brazen attack. I don't know about Dahir Calasow saying that he knows the names of the killers. If it true then after few days he must publish, so the public can see their names. Insecurity breads too many problems. A friend was telling me that every premeditated crime in the city is attributed to Al-shabaab, and these " xaaraamiin" liars will claim regardless. When security deteriorates, every one will take advantage including foreign agents.

Mooge, he did not came through Puntland. He is reer Sanaag from Ceerigaabo. The Son of former Somali police chief in 1969, arrested and dismissed by Siad Barre after the revolution Waa reer woqooyi..

Allah ha u naxariisto marxuumada. MMA ia right. Al-shabaab has a large number of spies around the city. One of the criminal that was captured, said they follow their targets for a while before acting on it. people are dying daily, al-shabaab has free hand , no pressure , no arrest. Money is following to their killers. according to those captured, Al- shabaab members have cars to travel around the city. These are not desperate people. When you see the kind of clothes they are wearing, these are local people who are also running small businesses, probably provided by Al-shabaab. Where is the money coming. The country is flooded with foreign armies both in land and sea. International navies with billions to spend are patrolling the sea lanes. All you need is few hundred somali soldiers to take over Eyl in Nugaal and Xarardheere in Mudug. why all this ships. we have over thirty thousand foreign troops in Mogadishu and surrounding area, yet no one is able to cordon one single district in Mogadishu. No one is able to throw unannounced checkpoints throughout the city. Maxaa diidaya in Bandoo lagu soo rogo meelaha ay dembiyadu ka dhacaan ama Al-shabaab joogto. Maxaa diidays in guri guri loo baadho Huriwaa iyo Kaaraan. This armies are sitting ducks. The country is no longer controlled by the so called overseer called president or prime minister. They can't even defend themselves. Yet we have thousands of foreign supervisors in Xalane with big hotels, huge bases and big guns , behind barbed wires. Who are they defending?. Ninka madaxweynaha sheeganaya ee saddex boqol oo will oo Soomali ah oo isaga waardiyeeya samaysan kari waayey, ee Muusafeeniga Ugandha uu soo diray 400 special forces, isaga waardiyeeya, ma dhisi karo ciidan qaran. It is time . Ha ina dhaafo.

The only way, he could probably save himself is by calling a national unity government. A government by technocrats that could be selected by the parliament or agreed upon after having input from regional governments, civil society, diaspora and others. A government that should prepare the next elections and hire competent non tribal professional somalis who could manage lead important government positions, including, the army chief, the police and intelligence. Remember Sheekh Shariif and C/weli were given one full year without interference to lead to a permanent government. The parliament could remove him and appoint a caretaker government until the election.

Well, every leader is judged by his record. He is weak and incompetent. By September, it will be two years. Targeted killing and insecurity is increasing. Some of the most corrupt and incompetent people are filling crucial positions. judging by his record, he must go. we must salvage the remaining two years. Who ever takes his position must finish his term, and elections must be held in 2016 as scheduled.

Rituals Have become the foundations of modern Islam. Virtues like patience, truthfulness, honesty, punctuality, perseverance and generosity are difficult to imitate or to accomplish. there was a young man who once did some work in my business. he just kept talking about his sallah and other basic things that one should be oreforming without fanfare. I ask him to show up certain times three different times. Every time he had an excuse to be late or not even show up. Back home when we were growing up, mosques were run by the lay people. The shopkeeper across the mosque was the one who managed and organize daily activity, because he never missed a prayer. The elderly man who lives five blocks away from the mosque was the " muezzin' who called the prayer for the last twenty years. He wasn't a sheekh or Ulema. Maybe he wasn't even wearing a big bear, but he never missed a prayer even when sick. these were the normal people that you intake daily. It was a normal daily thing. Nowadays mosques are run by a small well connected group who think and act the same. To even volunteer , you must be the ritual guy. If there is any disagreement, the courts and police will involve quickly. If someone who was not performing his Islamic duties, suddenly he prays and does some "Cibaada", now he will make sure everybody notices. Let me give you an example, in another life I was a taxi cab driver in a major city in north America. Almost every month, some Muslim cab driver is either called from the city hall for complaints or the taxi company will suspend them for failing to follow the taxi rules. They were almost all Somali cab drivers. It was in all in regards about alcohol, a blind guiding dog or other issues. There was this quiet guy who was well versed in Hadith and matters of Fiqi. He always read books. He was present in the hallway prayer , never misses. Since I always like to have conversation with the obscure and quite , yet intelligent people , I asked him : How do you deal these issues of alcohol and other prohibited transaction, while driving the taxi like all of us. The Somali wise man said. First of all the " If a prostitute who made a lawful money asked you to carry her load as a porter, the Sunnah, allows you to take that load regardless of how she earned that money". On the issue prohibited transactions like alcohol he said " If a customer asks me to the liquor to buy alcohol, I take him to the store , wait him, and after he buys, I take him to his destination". I asked him about the money?, he said " I take the money , but that money is no use for me since it is haram, so I give the money to a homeless or someone who needs" " I also understand that I will not get any rewards for sadaqa". He continued " the down side is you lose one trip of $20 or $25 dollars, and because of your religious obligations you accept that loss, at the same time you fulfil your city permit obligations, which was given to you to transport passengers and fulfil your religious obligations. ". I asked him about those guys who are constantly in the local news and have issues with taxi regulating authority?. He said " it is all about greed, they don't want to lose that trip, since they know that they can't use that money, what they do is refuse, run away after dropping the customer or lie about it". In my own town, right now most Somalis, with big khamiis, big beard and other rituals, drive cabs in the most dangerous time of the night. They drive between 7pm to 5am. We all know after midnight most of the fares you pick are drunk people, rowdy teenagers, criminals and people who have some kind of influence in their system. Normal people drive until 10 pm. This is courting trouble, but they do not have the patience or the perseverance to avoid the big money that to be made from late night parties.

http://www.aminarts.com/Cartoon_jpg/10_JULY_2014.jpg'>http://www.aminarts.com/Cartoon_jpg/10_JULY_2014.jpg I was chatting yesterday with someone who is well connected and familiar in the affaires of both Villa Somalia and the state of the country. First , the last Al-shabaab attack in the Presidential palace was almost deadly. Prior to this one , there was another attack inside the mosque of Villa Somalia, which killed many people among them the chief of staff of the prime minister. After that attack, a great mistrust have risen among the leaders. The prime minister A/weli Sheekh Ahmed, brought his own bodyguards from Baardheere to protect himself from Al-shabaab. Two weeks ago a Villa Somalia employee, who works for a telephone company brought some al-shabaab gun men inside villa Somalia. That man passed easily at the main checkpoint guarded by the palace soldiers. They just waved to him. They didn't even check the contents inside his car. After he passed the gate he proceeded to the office of the prime minister. They were just as close as 18 meters to the office when a guard became suspicious. He asked the Telecom guy who was facilitating the crime about the main. Fortunately , after unsatisfactory answer, the soldier reacted quickly and opened fire before they could do any damages. The soldier who confronted the terrorists was among the contingent that came from Baardhheere, Gedo. After that incident, the Prime minister is no longer sleeps in Villa Somalia. Now he spends his nights in Halane, the headquarters of the united nations . He goes to work there during the day. The distrust among the leadership is growing every day. After the latest attack all hell broke loose. The leadership felt helpless and demanded immediate security overhaul. They demanded the firing of the Police chief, intelligence director and the appointment of new security minister. Most people will expect that after these latest incident, a competent and qualified people will be recruited to fill these crucial positions. Well, hold your breath. The distrust and rivalry between the President and the prime minister is so huge, each one of them is displaying his tribal colors without disregard. The President appointed C/laahi Mohamed Cali ( Sanbaloolshe). In his lifetime, this man never held any position of security or anything related to military, police and intelligence. He was appointed once under Shariif government as minister of national security. In the eighties, he was the personal driver of C/laahi Cosoble, the son in law of Siyaad barre. In those days, Mr. Cosoble and his sub clan owned the ministry of posts and telecommunications. In later years he made Mr. Sanboloolshe a director within the ministry. After the collapse of the country, he was one of those lucky enough to set up an NGO , alongside Hassan Sheekh. President Hassan appointed him ambassador to Britain. Reliable sources say that he was once an Ethiopian paid spy. Is this the man who can tackle the most sophisticated job in the country. We will see. The prime minister, not to be outdone by the President , went even further. Remember, the last police chief replaced by this prime minister wasn't never in any police service in his lifetime. He was married to a women from Siyaad Barre"s household, . He was a major in the Somali national army in 1991. He spent the last twenty years in the diaspora, yet , they made him a general and appointed him the Somali national police chief. Since the prime minister wants to give this post to another " D" block member, he doesn't need to find the most qualified person. How about if you can't find any competent police officer among your sub clans?, do you have to invent one ?. Although some unreliable Somali websites wrote about the black history of the police chief lately, there are irrefutable evidence which linked him to many power abuses and other injustices among the innocent people. In fact , some of these accusations were written by the late Somali government newspaper Ogaal. In the last dying days of the Kacaanka, close associates of Siyaad Barre, started the Ogaal newspaper campaign to expose those who were abusing people , especially those well connected Among Kacaanka community. kidnaping, rape and illegal arrest and confinement are among the crimes accused against him. There is an arrest warrant sealed by the national security minister in Canada. Since the only criteria to be filled is tribal , I guess competence , qualification and community standing are discarded by the Somali leadership. The nation is crying for peace and security , yet the people expected to relieve the pain and lead are yesterdays despots and crooks who gained power through nepotism. Please pray Allah In this blessed month of Ramadan for better future. He also said, The leadership was encouraged to appoint proven police officers from Puntland and other places, but decided to select only from certain specific clans. Despite all this , he said the biggest threat is that people arrested for Al-shabab association and other terrorism related crimes are released due to pressure coming from their families and their clans. Al-shabaab"s cash flow is growing and in return , they are sponsoring their cells to own businesses and other clandestine operations. Things could get worse before they get better. Finally , he said the D block instigated federal system is having a great impact in the cohesiveness of the country, and tribes are gearing for land grabs and political influence. Each one is building his militia, diplomatic connections and cash arrangements. I think, unless the power is taken from these two incompetent clans, Somalia will remain a helpless country. The Hag and Sahal have done so much suffering among the Somali people. If you are a decent peace loving Somali, then we must take the power from them in order to minimize their disaster. http://www.aminarts.com/Cartoon_jpg/10_JULY_2014.jpg

I agree. I see laziness in some of the attires Somalis wear. Qof dukaan wax ka soo iibsanaya oo go' iska soo humanaysaa ayaad arkaysaa. Qofku Amaba dumarka, iyagoo asturan ayey hadana waxooga "elegance" ku darsan karaa. mida kale Jiilaal iyo xagaa, dharku isku mid ma'ahan, way kala culis yihiin.

Coofle, you could be right. That emotional attachment of great Somali is almost disappearing. Where can we start. I believe free market , trade and mutual security is necessary for our survival. Somaliland ha la soo qabto ooo dalka hala mideeyo is no longer a reality. Voluntary union is the way to go. I agree Djibouti is and always was part of Somali territory, why not add in the mix. Trade , peace and removing of the barrier could be the start of process. Reach a lasting peace among the communities, and then move to the next step. Since the Pan Somalism of the last century is difficult to achieve in your part, where can we start. I am always optimist that about the future. One more thing, coofle, from the Somaliland perspective, in order to reach that mutual understanding of " in aan laka maarmin", what is the best approach to achieve the desired goal. A loose union?, common currency?, please elaborate, since you seem well versed on the issue.

Deeq, it could be done. All you need is a leader with vision and hard work. The political and the economic landscape in Somalia is static. Nothing has changed for thirty years , minus the calamities. Nations are transformed by new ideas, news realities and even technologies. Tribal states will not work or can't adopt with realities of modern state. All you need is a group of like minded Somalis who would trust one another. The Somali people are sophisticated these days, they will not accept a corrupt tribal politicians masquerading as leaders. They may go along for the sake peace or personal interest, but will not give a hand or even collaborate with it. In the eighties, the government was called " Dhagweyn, or Tii Doqonta ahayd". They saw many illogical or archaic rules to conduct or obtain basic services. When you ask them " how can they do this?, people used to say " waar ha dhagaysan Dhagweyntani hebel u tag ama halkaa mar". Today's Somali governments are basic arrangements, where people set up in order to survive. Nothing new that could change peoples perception of government or transformational systems that could replace the old have been introduced. I have seen many shocking articles that you have posted lately, which highlights the enduring realities confronted by the lost tribes of Somalia. If people are left with their own whims without guidance expect anarchy. Look in the diaspora, no one needs tribal loyalty or help from the clan. WE must introduce new ways of life where the citizen no longer needs the clan to succeed. Even the age old Somali ways of sharing every thing must be discouraged. A new motto must be propagated. " if you are breathing you must be working, if you are not working , you are not eating". So far nothing new have been introduced in Somalia. Can you imagine 1.2 billion chinese are registered and their activities known. They even know when your child is born, or if you have more than one. How can you monitor if someone is having more than one. Well they did. Every where citizens are registered with matching numbers, except in the lands inhabited by Somalis. Mr. Deeq, all you need is a few good men and women who are willing to break the deadlock. While politics is a local , it is up to the individual how he intends to play. You can fight with your immediate sub clan or " Jilib", you can fight your immediate neighboring clans or you could think big and play the politica above the fray. THe Enemy of the Galgaduud guy is the next door Galmudug, The enemy of Burco is in Garowe, and so on . We all need enemies, it is part of human nature, but you could push the border little bit further than your brothers. Finally, I believe it could be done .

Barwaaqo, waan issheegany maanta. Umaba malaynayaan in waxni juhdi weyn iyo dadaal dheer lagu keenay. Calaa kuli xaal nabad iyo caano.

Che, do you Know there over 1200 students who graduated from Amoud who are now scattered all over Somalia. Even in 2011 there about 24 teachers from Puntland that was welcomed by the Puntland government in ceremony. Barwaaqaa dhamaysay, nabad baa naas la nuuga leh. Che, it won't hurt if you say congratulations for those who travelled 1500km to learn in the land of peace. Is there anyone else who can claim that. do not compare Mogadishu with 2 million people, but compare to other places.

Barwaaqo, Waa runtaa ina adeer, car ha laga helo waad mahadsan tihhin. Mooge, Puntland is progressive. They were always on the top echelon in education..

Oh Che, how could you say a city that welcomed them with open arms are not doing anything. Rag ciil cadaab buu ka doortaa uun baan maqli jiray. Xashee nin libin kaa xistiyey xumihii waa yaabe'e. Che nin fiican baa tahee naradu yaanay kaa dhicin.

I just posted two minutes ago. You didn't even watch the clip, yet you want to jump and answer. The reason I am posting is, it is time for Somalis to distinguish those who are helping them and those who are hurting. If it is all about money, why not they go to Garoowe university, Hiiraan or dhuusamareeb. Tell me is anyone from different part of Somalia, will spend a night in Baardheere, Beledweyne and Kismaayo ?. Waxa habeen loo hoydaa meeshii koob shhaha lagu caanaynayo. Che, don't feel guilty, because you haven't done nothing other than hurt Somalis. Allow as at least to to brag for the good things that this community have done for the last ten years. Is that difficult to say thank you?

" title="sxcadcsda">

110 students from south and central Somalia atre graduating this year from Amoud. The big difference is we are not bragging like Dr.Osman. ">

my argument is you can blame or denounce Samatar for abandoning the Somalia that he was campaigning just two years ago. As I said before , people are right to be angry, because he betrayed their trust. What I distaste is some people saying" reer hebel baa iska leh meeshee Maxaad ka doonysa". News flash he is the reer hebel. He is attached to that community. please attack his policies or his short sightedness. Reero madaxa la iskugu dhifto siyaasad ma ahan. Mida kale nabada Soomaali laga raadinayo , miyaanay ka bilaabanayn in aad deriskaaga xidhiidh wanaagasan marka hore la samayso. Having the Somaliweyn principle doesn't make me hate my neighbors or those I live together. Dalmar, please the ball is in your side. stop killing your neighbors and stabilize your immediate sphere of influence. Hating Somaliland adherents will not help me achieve my Somaliweyn agenda. Also keeping communities together will make it easier tomorrow to unite them under the Somaliweyn banner.

I think, Gooni and others have certain view of the Somaliland political landscape. Those who believe the Somaliland project, and work everyday to achieve that goal, have every opportunity to hold any office they wish in the land of Somaliland regardless of their tribe. Rayaale ruled eight years, but also others who have the ambition and the organizational skill to gain the power, have a good chance to be the leaders. It is certain Awdal elite who are holding back. In a peaceful democracy, those who are well organized could achieve a lot. Actually we, some of Awdalites are the ones who are skeptical of Somaliland and are yearning for the greater Somalia. THe Duriyada community, will not only embrace, but welcome with open arms those of us who are genuine about Somaliland. Prof. Samatar hails from two of the largest communities in Somaliland, if he wishes to run , he will be welcomed with open arms. Of course there will be some opposition groups who denounce him or use his past as thorny issue. I repeat it is some of us who are holding back from Somaliland , not the other way around. It is our home. Believe me you, I could go tomorrow, join one of the parties, and I will be welcomed with open arms. I think the Somalilanders are not hypocrites. If they love you it is probably a genuine love.

Talaabo Saaxxib, we will either go together or stay together. Awdal alone won't be going to Konfuria. It is really scary to be helpless among these bloodthirsty communities.

Adam, very funny .

It did happen in number 50, and now another HAG community members are burning the village of Deerow. Why burn?. They attacked the village in the middle of the night, and when the residents escaped, they burned the village. This is really a total cleansing of people from their homes and villages. WAar dadkan Rabadaanka dadka xasuuqaya ee qixinaya maxay yihiin?. Is this how to form a regional government by cleansing the residents. Why not fight Al-shabaab who are few kilometers from Baledweyne. If this genocide continues, the d....r community must abandon the so called government and defend themselves. Where are the fat Djiboutian army in Hiiraan, while people are massacred in their door step. Those who have a sense of justice must speak out against these calculated attacks against innocent people and burning villages. What are their crimes. few months ago in Kabanley, the residues were attacked unnoticed in the middle of the night. This is really genocide.

You right. there are plenty of millionaires these days. I stand corrected. Allah ha u siyaadiyo.

Barwaaqo, Ilaahay ha inoo siyaadiyo nimcada. waxaan ku dari lahaa , this kind of business does not make a good return of the investment. The cost of running will be high, and I do not see huge diversifies retail outlets coming in. I am seeing mostly furniture. If they are aiming for the future, it could make money in the long term. History shows, those who embark this kind of business are mostly corrupt oligarchs who stole the money or gained it illegally. Do you remember " carawadi Idko", in Mogadishu. They do for vanity reasons. I hope I am wrong.
