Thirteen years and still soldiering on . That is consistent. A rare breed among us. Happy anniversary SOL.

For the last ten years, every government from Abdilaahi yusuf to Hassan Sheekh are involved in some kind of Somali maritime boundaries. Who is pushing these agenda that ?. The Somali parliament already annulled the last one signed by the former government. Further more, why would a regional government sign or even be part of a international territorial dispute between the national government and other bilateral organizations and neighboring countries. Mooge it is not robbing Puntland, it is robbing Somalia.

His daughter is Al-shabaab, his son in law is a senior commander, and he is the imam of Villa Somalia. As long as he is the same sub clan, he could be trusted. That is the logic of Somali security apparatus. Waa nin reerka ah oo waa lagu kalsoon yahay.

The villa Somalia security didn't even check the contents inside the car. Since he is Unaka he was just waved. Even if he was employee, he should be fully checked.

Allah ha u naxariisto. adigana samir iyo iimaan.

The Islamic court union movement was a coalition among many groups with different and divergent ideology. While they all claim to be Islamic inspired, deep down, they were multi purpose( ujeedo badan). It was all started in the mid nineties, to confront the local crimes and to address the deteriorating security situations of Mogadishu. Those who initiated the Islamic courts, like Sheekh Cali Dheere of Karaaraan, it was a genuine idea to reduce the street crimes and enhance to free movements of the people in those neighborhoods. Then, there were the businessmen who feared for their lives while conducting business in these tough streets. Finally , there were the Islamic movements who were preparing to take power through these locally inspired Islamic courts. Sheekh Cali and like minded people had the support of the people to reduce crime and remove checkpoints. The businessmen and the rich, focus only one aspect of the Sharia law, which is the capital punishment ( executing those who murder or involve armed robbery), and the cutting of hands for those found guilty of stealing. The later one disproportionately affected the poor and those who are powerless. both of these groups never tried to establish a police station or any thing leading to legal institution building. The businessmen had hundreds of gun mounted armored pickups trucks for their safeties . Almost all the local tribes established their own courts. After the Islamic courts took over Mogadishu , those innocent Ulema who were interested only to reduce crime were sidelined. The Wahaabis controlled by the gulf, The al_qaeda inspired Al-shabab, Aweys and the power seekers, The tribal idealoges and the criminals who switched sides after defeat , all became one big coalition. Even if the Ethiopian troops hadn't invaded - which united the movement-- a power struggle among these was inevitable. After Shariif Ahmed became president, Al-shabaab intensified it's war against the government. Todays war in Mogadishu is among the former islamic court members. It is hard to address the security situation on tribal lenses. Some uninformed people may claim that certain tribes are prone to al-shabaab, while others are loyal and pro government. Of course, the sympathy that certain communities have for Al-shabab may vary, but their supporters could be found among diverse groups. The latest attack in Villa Somalia, has proved wrong , that the the sub clan of the president are free of Al-shabaab influence. He kept appointing tribal loyalists to defeat Al-shabaab and bring peace. He can't even defend his residence let alone the nation. It seems the extremists are one step ahead of the government and the intelligence community. They are infiltrating the security apparatus and most of the sensitive places of the nation. It is hard to predict the outcome of this war against Al-shabaab, but , I believe we must think outside the box to expose their weaknesses and reduce the threat. In order to achieve their goal, they are trying to destroy the nation state as we know it. The Pakistani Taliban, last month attached Karachi international Airport., a symbol of the state. Even last year , one American general said they do not mind the new chaostan . chaos is the word. Here are my suggestions to defeat or reduce their threat. 1- Intelligence gathering and infiltration of the enemy must be one of the highest priorities of the government. Trusted people could be placed in major intersections and suspected districts. Try to get the list of former Islamic court members. Every lead must be exhausted until produces results. 2- The financial capabilities of al-shabaab must be targeted. The latest info provided by the killer shows that al-shabaab are paying for some of the services. They also use common criminals to detonate , assassinate or gather intelligence for their targets. It was confirmed that certain business people are constantly providing financial help to extremists. Hawalss must report every transaction that is more than a thousand dollars going to places controlled by Al-shabaab. How come Al-shabaab, not the government are paying salary on time. Investigate all charities from gulf countries and the cash they are carrying. Money could be the biggest assets that al-shabaab is using to carry these attacks. 3- eliminate easy access. There are new technologies like Zaad Service, which makes easy for people to get money unanimously. Al-shabaab may dial money through these phone services without even meeting the killers. They can send $ 200 dollars to a common criminal who is willing to kill for the money. No nation can allow traceless money to float around. Close these services. Let the special interest groups hem and haw. 4- Get non HAG commanders and intelligence officers to take a greater role in investigating these crimes. Diaspora members couldn't do much in security issues, and are becoming greedy in their life style, so hire those who live among the people. 5- public executions of those captured while committing terrorist crimes and murders must take place. 6- Stop releasing suspected Al-shabaab members. Detain them as long as possible. 7- Cell phone companies must record the names and addresses of those who purchase phones. Take their picture or ask identification card if possible. 8- finally, deny them safe havens and push them out from their headquarters in Baraawe. You can't wait every two years to liberate two or three district, it must be a sustained non stop pressure. Do not allow them to recuperate and relaunch themselves. 9- you must be ruthless when you dealing with them. I have seen the picture of the guy who bombed hotel Mak -almukarama, he was well fed and good looking health wise. send a message that those who harbour or aid the enemy will be treated harshly. Arrest their families and friends. If all these measures do not defeat them or reduce the threat , then a new approach is needed.

Waar ilayn anagaa wax aragnay. Ninkaan raaxaysanya ee soofaha ku fadhiya miyaa ah nin la soo xidhay, mise waa sawir hore. This guy doesn't look like a prisoner. he is relaxing in a sofa just like Qoslaaye. What is going on in this town. This guy just murdered soldiers who are defending the nation, and he is wearing some of the most comfortable clothes one can find. If well to do people of Mogadishu are serving Al-shabaab for few hundred dollars , how about those who are poor and desperate.

Yes, he could be in wrong place. War jiraaba cakaara iman. Since you are interested about criminals , I thought you were involved to law enforcement profession.

Nin Yaaban, horta saaxiib ma "detective" baad tahay, or are you involved in some kind of law enforcement profession. The reason I am asking is usually, the police people are always skeptical of every crime. Also they assume most people are up to no good. I do not know the facts of these case, but during the Ramadaan, people stay up late. Taraawiix starts around 11 pm, and even my kids, when they go to mosque for Taraawiix they come home around 1am. Maybe he tried to help dangerous kids, who knows.

Well, Deeq it is a nice blog. It seems the Diaspora folks are not liked in Mogadishu. Soldiers and soldiers are the base for future security. NGO's are doing some badly needed necessary works, but you must get inside The government to fix things. not everyone would be able to relocate, nevertheless, good job, good luck and stay safe.

Of course, his home was just attacked by insurgents, and instead of in army camouflage, he is just smiling in big comfy chair. He is comfortable. Miyaanu ogayn in kursi dhiigle uu ku fadhiistay.

Mr. Che, saaxiib thanks, I tried to upload from Boramaonline but couldn't . This is what I meant. Look at the chair.

Is this a guy in emergency situation, or a king sitting in a big chair. he should be standing up or addressing the nation in an official capacity, sitting behind his desk. aaway dadkii la lahaa paratakool ayey ku qaybsan yihiin ee tobanka gaadhayey. Maalin walba waxaad arkaysaa isagoo sandal wata oo fadhi balladhan ku jira oo hadana la waraysanayo. Waa ceeb. hawlaha dawlada markad aqabanayso , sida la hadalka ummada xafiiskaaga fadhiiso oo si sharafi la socoto ula hadal ummada. waa hadii aad wax dhagaysanayso.

They couldn't defeat Mexico, they passes Chile with penalties, and The referee denied Colombia the equalizing goal. When I saw the first game against Croatia, with fake penalty to keep them ahead, I knew they were paper tigers. Final game, Argentina vs Germany. Messi will win the cup. That is my prediction.

Saalax, judging by latest events Siilaanyo won't be re-elected. The last three months were spent to fix the Kulmiye quagmire, and the drama still continues. They do not govern any more. He doesn't have the energy or the capacity to work even 8 hours. Everyone in Somaliland is talking about his disappearance. I wish he was healthy and energetic, but , the reality is it became a government run by unelected people. On the issue of the Berbera factory, this run down factory was worthless for 24 years. if somebody want to invest , he should be welcomed. First, The Berbera community doesn't own the mountains, second if they are interested in investing millions, they could have done long time ago. If there is someone who want to invest his well earned money, I would welcome them, especially in my home town.

This guy should pay his crimes. also the associates who helped him should pay the ultimate price. Having said that, his accent is absolutely no Burcaawi or Togdheer. f you want to learn how Burcaawi speak , here is Sooraan and Jawaan from Burco.

gooni, Booli Qaran looma bixiyeen haday guryo caadiya yihiin. Aduunka meel walba dad ladan iyo faqiir way wada joogaan, waana la wada noolyahay. Waxaad shaqaysatona cidi kugu qabsan mayso. Daarta shaqeyso oo dhiso. Haka dhisan askariga mushaarkiisa iyo caano boodhaha qaxootiga loo keenay. Biilka korontada Djibouti guriga caadiga bishii waa saddex boqol oo doolar. Biyaha xaafada badankooda waxa loogu dhaamiya qasabado maalin dhaaf ah. Hadaad soo marto suuqa sare, waxaad arki sar dheer oo la yidhaahdo Sarta aidiska. Lacagtii loogu talagalay Aidska ayuu wasiirkii caafimaadku ka dhistay. Dadka ayaa ku sheekayts. Waxan guryha laga dhisanayo lacag la shaqeystay ma ahan. Waa Foreign aid money. Waxani waa " Sunatu Kawniya", dawlad Muslim ah oo cadaalad xumo iyo dulmi ku baahday ma sii jirto.

The black flag caring despots will not last. There were reports of bulldozing and bombing mosques and religious shrines of the Shia Muslims. These mix of Arab nationalism, Hizbul Ba'ath of Iraq and Wahhabi extremists won't go far. Who knows, They May even attack their main beneficiary the Saudi Kingdom. The chickens may come home to roost.

Allah subhana Watacaal is just. Injustice and corruption will not last. I had "Aftur" yesterday with one of my friends from Djibouti who is close to the Ruling Family. He was telling me about the huge mansions built in a place called " Haramuus" from the north of the airport. He said it costs between $ 800, 000 to a million. the sea water was brought close to the homes. Everyone one want to be part of that class , even those who had homes are building second homes. I told him about those huge Hollywood style mansions that dominated the landscape in Mogadishu, in nineteen eighties. They were called " Booli Qaran". They were huge houses with acre style playground and a parking lot that could take 10 luxury cars. Everyone knew they were built by a stolen money, that is why when the uprising came, all the anger and frustration of poor who were watching these fat cats turned ugly, and Somalia is still sorting out about that calamity. In Mogadishu a freind who were A senior bureaucrat said " Waa markii iigu horaysay een arko albaab lagu fuarayo "remote iyo Qalab raaxo oo casriya oo Qasiriga dhex ceegaaga, maalintii ku xigtaynaa, beertiisii oo Afgooye ku Taala Ayaan u raacay". " Waxaan la yaabay sida ay u barwaaqaysteen, isagoo weliba waxuu ka dhegana daadinaya, markaasaan ku Idhi, waar waatanoo nolol iyo raaxo aduun waad gaadheene, miyaad dadka iska sii jeedisaan ood biyaha iyo Korantada iyo waxayaabha daruuiga aad waxooga xooga saartaan". Nin daar ku jiraa daruur ma arkee ilayn xalay roobkii baa da'ay. Well within few years the peasants with forks descended from the mountains. If Djibouti doesn't change, expect the peasants uprising sooner or later.

These Arabs don't know what to do with petro dollars. I wonder how they are going to survive when oil runs out or new technology replaces oil. They are trying to buy prestige with money. Look at Qatar, a country of less than two million people want to host the world cup in 2022. They won the bid by bribing everyone. It is one city state. They want to build eight stadiums from scratch and are importing half million foreign labour to built all these. They are known to hold back the wages of these poor workers who are coming from Bangladesh, India, philippines and Pakistan. If I were Fifa , I would a ward that thing to Turkey or even Egypt.

This is the kind of discussions people were expecting and missing from SOL. I really like the way Coofle is analyzing. I hope it will continue. Decisions are made by those who show up. As he said, most of us don't want to be there. Certain skills are neede to court and pamber the tribal leaders. Also, as Dhagaxtuur said, these Gadhacaseyaal are already there, and will fight back if you try to eliminate them. Make them Senators so they could be at least accountable. When a country is trying to rise from the ashes of civil war , anarchy and tribalism, you need a strong voice. If you look back the countries in Africa who recuperated from the civil war , they all had a strong leader to stabilize and move forward. IN Rwanda and Uganda, both got a benevolent dictators to sort out the mess. We Somalis are our own "Suldaans", fiercely independent people who could not be coerced easily by a dictator, especially short sighted tribal dictator. If the dictator is a benevolent, the people must buy that he is above the tribal pickering and the corruption of the elite, and he must lead by example. The Somali masses are very well informed and inclined to detect any slant of nepotism, tribal loyalty or even the perception of " Qabyaalad". Yoniz is saying a " haywire Federalism" is the way. of course federalism is here to stay, but the national security situation and the threat of Al-shabaab can't be eliminated by a painstaking work that needed a united command and effort, which the regional governments do not have the resources or capabilities . One may argue that Puntland has achieved some success on the security issue, but peaceful Puntland is not enough to sustain or guarantee a national government. That coming decade of 2014-2024 could be lost by the constant pickering and the subduing of al-shabaab. Maybe for starters, we should get rid of the so called parallel leadership of the Prime minister and President. This Italian system of government is predisposed to fail. From 1945- 1990 the Italians had almost forty governments. How many prime ministers did we had from 2000 to 2014. It is more than ten. we need a unified leadership of President and vice President, like the Somaliland system. In Somaliland the leader has dictatorial powers , but doesn't achieve bigger goals due to short sightedness. Any way, if we can't agree on benevolent visionary dictator, then we must start by eliminating the Italian system of parallel and conflicting leadership.

You know guys, Coofle have a point. The masses might be their own enemies. Leaders probably are the reflection of the masses they represent. People have the tendencies of refusing to give a chance those who might be honest. It is easy to discourage. " reer hebel buu neceb yahay" will be enough to stay away from a good man. in bad cultures, the rule of law is a threat to their way of life. There are constant allegations of wrongdoing and embezzlement of public funds, yet there are no legal or journalistic mechanism to get to the bottom of it. The guy who stole tuesday may be a candidate today.The first step is to elect a new generation of leaders who are accountable.

so many mediocre couches. Dechamp, the French coach saw his team struggling to score, so he waited until the 85th minute to throw in a third forward. you must gamble or you will go home in a few minutes. I would have added a third offensive player from the 70th minute. He had top class players sitting in the bench. Jurgen Klinsmann, the USA couch abandoned the midfield which was dominated by Belgium. He couldn't do any adjustments to close the gap. tHe game was between American defence and Belgium attack. If not for the goalkeeper could have been 5 nothing. Nigeria and Ghana demanded cash before their games, and Cameroon have been accused of taking bribe. West africa must be very strange place. No pride at all. most of these players are millionaires playing around the world.
