    "They were approximately three hundred soldiers, one of them told me in his driving me out that they are on their way to Mogadishu to join the national Somalia forces" Abdi added.

     

    The forces are yet to get to Mogadishu, as senior government official in Mogadishu declined to comment about these up coming troops, adding his government can't confirm the arrival of the forces.

     

    The troops will be part of national Somalia army witch the western backed Somalia government collecting in various Somalia regions to give a hand it the restoration of peace and order in to the lawless Somalia.


  2. What we are witnessing today is the first days of a long, prosperous and proud Somalia. Thanks to the leadership and the courage of every active member of TFG.

     

    You know, around 16 years ago in mid 1991, friend of mine told me that this job of governing a nation takes a certain kind of men; the kind of men that hold the leadership position today - from executive, parliament, to the ministerial level - in the TFG.

    Somaliland will never get recognised because they have people like you who speaks for them.

     

    You write pages and pages of BS and I don't see why?

     

    To quote our president: "Somaliland ma go'i karto, sida Puntland ayan uu go'i karin."

     

    If ICU were taken out in 7 days how long would it take the TFG and it's friends to take out the boyz from the north?

     

    Yusuf is done playing games he doesn't want a Country called Somaliland so that is how it will be. End of story.

  5. The picture with his excellency President Abduallhi Yusuf hand held high is an historic picture that shall one day hang in the walls throught out Somalia. One day it shall be a Land Mark.

     

    That picture speaks volums it's worth more than a thousand words.Cause every Somali has a story to tell about that day and they are all different. Describing it will take for ever.

     

    October 10, 2004 was the day I pulled a all nighter with friends and family members.


  6. Yusuf Yey: The hero of the age

     

    For years Somalia suffered

    Our nation torn by despair

     

    The road traveled forever lengthy

    Refugee camps and turbulent seas

    The people every where

    Consumed by insecurity and inner fears

     

    Murders and mayhem the order of the day

    Road blocks to peace at every turn

    Our capital we burned

     

    Forever lengthy the road we traveled

    Refugee camps and turbulent seas

    My people full of insecurity and inner fears

     

    Charcoal and fake currency was the trade

    Death our inheritance

    The orphan of Africa

     

    Then the old warrior emerged

    To stand up to them all

    Warlords he purged

     

    Enter the champion of the weak

    Those without guns

    Those unable to speak

     

    He came to bring, hope home

    To hoist that blue flag high

    To bring the nation back

     

    Beautiful Somalia has found her champion

    That is Abdullahi Yusuf Yey

    The hero of the age

  7. ^^^He also forgot to mention the number one resource of Somalia which is uranium. Uranium is highly needed in the west. It is becoming scares and almost all the electricity is run by nuclear reactors. Somalia’s Natural resources: uranium and largely unexploited reserves of iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt, natural gas, likely oil reserves. We have so much rich resources, enough space for everyone to live and nice weather but the enemies of Somalia won't allow us to realize those dreams and Somalis themselves are also busy with something else! We all know what that is by heart!!!!


  8. NAIROBI, Kenya (Reuters) – Gunmen ambush troops as insurgents fire rockets at military bases and pirates prowl the turquoise Indian Ocean shipping lanes offshore.

     

    Somalia may be seem an unlikely prospect for investors seeking untapped oil and gas fields, but that could be about to change as the majors turn their gaze off the beaten track.

     

    Driven by record profits, a race with hungry Asian rivals and fears of growing energy nationalism in South America and Russia, interest in eastern Africa has never been higher.

     

    “Africa across the board has seen a substantial uptake in acreage in recent years by all sizes of companies from the majors to mega-majors, independents and minnows,” said Duncan Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer of international energy consultants Global Pacific & Partners.

     

    “Quite a few significant players have moved into position.”

     

    Big Western companies including ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Total held Somali exploration concessions before the country slid into civil war in 1991.

     

    A World Bank and U.N. survey that year of eight northeastern African countries' petroleum potential ranked Somalia second only to Sudan as the top prospective commercial producer.

     

    Northern Somalia lay within a regional oil window reaching south across the Gulf of Aden, the geologists said.

     

    Encouraged by that, explorers hoped to find an extension of the crude-bearing deposits that hold nearly 4 billion barrels under Yemen in the Marib-Hajar and Say'un-Al Masila basins.

     

    APPEAL FOR HELP

     

    Years of warlord-fuelled bloodshed put those plans on hold, but after routing rival Islamists from Mogadishu last month, Somalia's interim government is desperate to attract investors.

     

    “Somalia has a lot of oil, and our ministers have just approved a key exploration law to regulate how concessions are given out,” government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari said.

     

    “But what we need now is international support to restore security and build our nation, and we will be noting who helps us and who doesn't when these decisions are taken.”

     

    As his administration fights to set up centralised rule for the first time since dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown 16 years ago, the U.S. majors are watching from the sidelines.

     

    They each have hundreds of millions of dollars from high oil prices to spend on exploration this year, but have been burned in countries like Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Russia, which are all taking a much tougher stance on production deals.

     

    That has boosted Africa's profile, while factors like growing violence in Nigeria and rising taxes for producers in Algeria have shone a new spotlight on the eastern seaboard.

     

    Much of the interest is from Chinese, Indian and Malaysian firms with deep pockets, technological skills and an appetite for higher insecurity than Western competitors, experts say.

     

    China, the world's second top energy user, already funds oil projects from Angola to Sudan, and is eyeing opportunities in northern Somalia and neighbouring Ethiopia's ****** region.

     

    WILDCATTERS PROFIT

     

    “The huge Chinese companies now have full technical expertise, and they no longer ever feel it necessary to take Western partners,” said one veteran Western oil executive.

     

    But smaller, fast-moving firms ready to work in difficult areas, often without the protection of mainstream insurance, are getting a slice of the action on the new east African frontier.

     

    Australia's Woodside Petroleum is drilling off Kenya, South African independent Ophir Energy is prospecting off Tanzania and Sweden's Lundin Petroleum is surveying in Ethiopia.

     

    Some are even proving that work is possible inside Somalia itself – albeit in the calmer north.

     

    Australian minnow Range Resources won a company-making deal in 2005 giving it concession rights to all minerals and petroleum in semi-autonomous Puntland, home to Somalia's president and former warlord Abdullahi Yusuf.

     

    Unfazed by a mortar duel between rival clans last March on the nearby border with Somaliland, Range is bullish.

     

    Last month, it unveiled a six-year agreement under which Canada's Canmex Minerals will spend $50 million on exploration for an 80 percent stake in the project.

     

    Much more controversial in Mogadishu are exploration efforts in Somaliland, a breakaway enclave that split from the rest of Somalia in 1991 and has since enjoyed relative peace. It is also sitting on the most promising geology.

     

    South Africa's Ophir has a coastal block there, and Chinese and Indian companies are also thought to be seeking acreage from the internationally-unrecognised Somaliland government.

     

    “These are issues we have to work out, but we are all Somalis and we will solve them with dialogue,” Dinari said.

  9. ^^^stop posting your filthy propaganda!!!

     

    How dare you compare your dirty war-lord to his excellency President Abduallhi Yusuf?

     

    Yusuf wasn't involved in the Cival War that destroyed Somalia and killed half million Somalians.

     

    His history is well done your BS wouldn't go war on SOL.

     

    Puntland state of Somalia,in the north east of our country is booming,and has been peaceful for years thanks to his excellency President Abduallhi Yusuf.

     

    You guys lack of knowledge for the President is really saddening.

     

    And you guys ask why does he have hardcore supporters?


  10. ^^^Don't they have anything else to do with their time. Somalians need to understand Abduallhi Yusuf nor Ethiopia is their enemy but qabil.

     

    There is 90% chance all those people protesting are from the same qabil.

     

    Ethiopia has more people practice the faith of Islam than Somalian that is a proven fact. For one they have a bigger population and second 70% of the people that live in Ethiopia are muslim.


  11. ^ Somalia is already a destroyed Country haven't you seen our Capital city and else where lately?

     

    The only alternative for Somalians as a whole is to support this Government because this is the best and only chance for peace and dowladnimo for Somalia at the moment. Ethiopia is here to help and to get paid by the World Powers that is their gain. Your gain is to take Advantage of the opportunity given to you by your African friends and the international community helping hand. Why care wolf now?


  12. ^ Dude Somalia has been a forgotten nation for the past 16 years the world didn't want anything to do with you. Our leaders are not the best from qabil to states to war-lords that rule blocks in Mogadishu that has become Somalia.

     

    Any change is good I tell you. I don't consider Somalia occupied the ethiopians are safe guarding their own nation. Trust me Ethiopian has enought probelms to deal with.

     

    Somalians have occupied themselves from being a nation of one and have occupied peace.

     

    The ethiopians will leave in do time it's 2007 only the United States of American can occupied not a poor country like ethiopia.

     

    IF you and your likes would like to use Somalia is being occupied for a reason not to Support our only Government and a real chance for Peace in South Somalia than well that is a really sad thing isn't it?


  13. Kashafa

     

    Ethipians "occupied Somalia"

     

    Do you kids even know the meaning of the words you are using. The Ethiopians were invited to Somalia by the TFG to take care of the ICU they didn't come by themselves. And now AU troops will replace them simple as that. Will you say the AU troops occupied Somalia as well?

     

    Somalia is being saved from Somalians.

     

    The only reason the TFG has called in Outside help is first it's not strong enought at the moment to secure Somalia as a whole by it self.

     

    The TFG leaders have asked ICU member thousands of times to work with the dowlad what did the ICU do they declare themselves as the dowlad.

     

    This Dowlad has given Somalian of all walks of life a chance to work with the dowlad peacfully before out side help was called and now it's to late.
