The official Peacenik/Dh.aabo.lif response to the news item above, was delivered by TFG spokesman(and part-time Amharic teacher) Thierry Xasan Jaamac oo ku magac dheere Kaadi-Badne(due to his habit of involuntarily releasing the contents of his bladder at the mere sight of a Thorougbred G). Mr. Kaadi-Badne's official statement: "Mudanayaal, These reports and statements attributed to His Excellency Prime Minister Meles Zenawi are completely baseless and without merit.......even if there is a video of him delivering said basesless statements during an alleged press conference that didn't take place.....even though many of you claim to have been there when said baseless statements where allegedly made. As the Secretary of Propoganda and Enlightenment Affairs Marcus 'Snot-face' Cilmi and his Deputy( and secret 3rd wife) Lazie-Girl would say, these allegations are nothing but the pathetic spewing of scurrilous bile by self-opionated evildoers. As His Holiness Shaykh Hotel recently declared, the strong bonds of trust and friendship between the two democratic governments of Ethiopia, in it's capacity as the senior and foremost power in the Horn of Africa, and Somalia, as the junior sidekick, is eternal and unshakeable. Therefore, His Excellency has afforded us the use of two(2) fully mechanized and armoured divisions in our attempt to eradicate the Evil-Doers, the Merchants of Death, known as the Noble Muqawama(fityatun aamanoo bi'rabihim wa zidnaahim hudaa). We are grateful to His Excellency and the brotherly Ethiopian people for their help. As you can see below, the relationship between His Excellency Zenawi and His Holiness Sharif Hotel transcends the diplomatic sphere and extends into the personal and the financial. Meles Zenawi ayaa sidoo kale carabka ku dhuftay inuu xiriir wanaagsan weligiisba la lahaa Madaxweyne Sheekh Shariif Sheekh Axmad, isagoo xusay in Sheekh Shariif ahayn nin xagjir ah maadaama uu yahay nin Islaam ah That is the truth of the matter. Somalia's territorial sovereignty has not been violated because WE, the Somali government called for the Ethiopian military to cross the border and destroy the EvilDoer stronghold of Kismayo. So what if the city was burned to the ground. So what if 10,000 terrrorist supporters were murdered in cold blood. So what if scores of muslimaat'un, qaanitaat'un, caabidaat'un, cafiifaat where raped. So what. That is just unfortunate collateral damage. We asked for their help. We invited them. Also, there is a precedent for what we are doing, back in 2006, when Colonel President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed invited our friends to occupy Mogadoisho and Baidoba and 10,000 also died in that process. No biggie. It's just the cost of governments doing business. Plus, it worked out great for President Yusuf who is now chilling in luxurious exile in a mud-hut in Yemen, because if he sets foot on Somali soil, mufuh is gonna get got. The same fate awaits His Holiness Shaykh Hotel who will prolly be holed up in a jiingad in Kaaraan" Lol, man, this is too easy, makes me ashamed runtii. It's like being in a cage-match and your opponent is a gawky 13 year old . Weighing in at 120 pounds. In a wheelchair. Thats the intellectual level the f'ing SOL peaceniks/dhabolifs are at. Insatiable lust for unearned power, piggybacking on innocent blood spilt by foriegn mercenaries, accepting to prostitute themseleves and their families in the process; complete disregard for Islam, the principles it proscribes, and the laws it lays down. It gets even better: A fundamental brain deficiency that makes it impossible for them to grap Irony. Hence, they attribute to themselves, with a straight-face, 'dawlad-nimo', 'qaran-nimo', somaliweynimo while perpetuating acts and that are the exact antithesis. And to top that all of: Sheer hypocrisy rendered even more repugnant through the use of Is-Qancis, rationalising infamy, justifying abonimation, praising Kufr & Nifaaq. Abdullahi Yusuf was a traitor for accepting Ethiopian support, but Shaykh Hotel is a hero for flying to Addis Abbaba to swear allegiance and pay tribute to Mother Ethiopia. Why ? Because Shaykh Hotel went there for AU meeting. As an head of state. And he got a standing ovation. Therefore, he and Somalia are the winners. Caqli'gaas(reasoning) bal kawarama akhyaarta ?

^^ Thanks, Nephisa. I hope I get enough time, saa sheegtay, IsQancis-mania is running buck-wild throughout SOL with the coronation(not election) of Shaykh Hotel, whilst reason and principles and logic have all been laid off, fired actually.

Meji, For clarification's sake: You are not fit to clean the boots of Abu Mansoor. Neither is Shayk Sharif. A man who sleeps in the muck and mire of the wilderness, Fii-Sabeel-Allah, oo taagan liberating the oppressed masses of Somali-dom can not be mentioned in the same sentence as a spineless turncoat, baaca deenahu bi dunyaah. Real world talk, abti. Tribalists all over somalia (specially from Muqdisho) never stop to surprise us: If he uses the stick he is a tribalist if he uses the carrot he is a tribalist too! Hammer on the nail camal aa ugu keentay. There is no satisfying jago-doon men who have sold their Deen, their Dad, and their Dal, for 40 pieces of silver. Case-in-point: Descion A: Attack the Ugandan enemy polluting Somali soil with their presence. Peacenik/Dh.abo.dh.ilf* reaction: Sacre Bleu !!! Ziis is barbaric. Ziis will cause deaths of civillians who will be massacred by our beloved allies, the Ugandans, who are here to help us become a modern society and escape from savage Islamic rule. Decision B: Refrain, temporarily, from attacking the Uganda enemy Peacenik/Dh.abo.dh.ilf* reaction: Hah! The Resistance is tribalist! Why have they stopped fighting in Mogadisho, but continue to fight everywhere else in Somalia ? That shows that they are being funded by Indocadde's drug money. Hah! What have I been telling you all along ? Hah! Lol, I remember one of SOL's village i.d.i.o.t.s whose signature line was: "Why is the 'resistance' confined to a few neighborhoods in North Mogadisho" In his feeble, bitter, clannist mind, the Noble Muqawama was nothing but a clan concoction, cooked up by Shaykh Xasan Daahir Aweys. Well, somehow, that 'clan concotion' now controls and governs over 300,000 square kilometers of Somalia soil, from Kismayo to Af-Goye to Baidoba to Baardheere.......but it's still a clan conspiracy Gotta love the sheer idiocy and doqonimo of our peacenik-dh.abi.ilfs*, truly epic in it's fantasy. *the two have joined to become one, thus labada erey waa interchangeable. Sidaas oo la soco.

In the end they will succumb Lol. Iz you ok in the head, abti ? Succumb ? to who ? Ethiopia ? Antarnanshanal Kamoonity ? The xaraan-ku-nax clan militia of Hiraale, Qaybdiid, Shaykh "Shaykh Hotel" Shariif ? Scholars-$4$-Dollars like Janaqow and Ahmed Madoobe ? Succumb to who and what exactly ? Oh, oh, oh, maybe you mean succumb to authority of the Transishanal Fadaral Gabamant aka Tigray Founded Government, now that it has been 'sanitized' by the Holy Presence of the Saviour Himself. Lol@ defeated men and their IsQancis dreamin'. Abti, ain't no succumbing happenin', thas one word that has no place in the Gobonimo-doon dictionary(G-haadi edition). Dictating tho, is prominently placed. 'Cuz thats what we do: Dictate, call the shots, make the plays, ride or die, save the day. Thoroughbreds 4 life. Get it poppin', abti. Takeover of Kismayo, and the destruction and humiliation of your clan militia should've been enough of a lesson for you. Guess it wasn't. Guess you need more lessons. Will happily oblige, inshallah. If there is one thing that Sons of Somalia specialise in, it is how spectacularly they destroy clan pride and clan militia, so well-done it's almost an art form. The next b!tch-niggaz on the block who are about to get stomped is Nur Cade-Shaykh Hotel clan militia. You heard it here first.

Aight, homey. Whatever makes you feel better. Gun'nimo is a heavy burden, IsQancis has been proven to alleviate it. In case you didn't watch the vid, it tells the story of a TFG official who offered his wife to an Ethiopian military officer. Sad, tragic, and most importantly,telling. But if you feel you got to defend the TFG officer and justify his pimpin' as "being gracious to his superior", I understand, like i said, whatever makes you feel better, whatever makes you sleep at night, it's all good. Here's the million dollar question tho: Would you do the same thing if Ethiopia promised Puntland it's independence ? Come on, abti. Tell the truth. Be honest with yourself. Morals, conciences, Islam, dhaqan, what is all that compared to Puntland getting it's independence as a qabiil-state ? I mean, traditionally, throughout history, people usually fought, bled, and died for their freedom, laakin you Yusufites dhbdhlifs seem to have developed a new formula(Pimpin' for Freedom) that involves no fighting and no bleeding. Amazing.

^^ I'm still waiting on the price-index. How much ? P.S: Did you read the thread I linked to and watch the video ? Your thoughts ?

"The military situation on the ground is completely different from the political picture," the U.S. official said. "It's just a matter of time before the Shabab move into Mogadishu." The reason why Mr. Shariif Ahmed is begging for 'bees-keebin' troops from the Intarnashanal Kamoonity is crystallized in the quote above. When Mogadisho and Baidoa fall to the Sons of Somalia, I expect my peacnik brethren to fall on their swords, hara-kiri style. Or to make towbad-keen and renounce gaalo-raac'nimo as a madhab and philosophy.

^^ My Man, Kooshin Balaq-Balaq Exams been kickin' my butt, abti. Athiga, what u been upto ? Pimpin' female family members so that Ethiopia protects Puntland ? How's that enterprise goin' ? Do you think the cost-benefit ratio is worth it ? How much are y'all sellin' for ? Seriously, mayn. What's the latest price ? I didn't think it was possible to get any lower, but Yusufite d.h.a.b.h.o.d.h.i.l.i.f.s always find a way to plunge to new depths.

^^ She ain't cold. She's crazy-in-love is what she is. Abuu Mansoor looks like inuu qubeys ubaahan yahay, despicable human being that he is and all Man, even you are swooning over Main Man Mansoor. What does this guy have over chicks ? Over on another Somali forum, ppl were discussing, and I'm not making this up, how "hot" Abu Mansoor is. One girl said he had, and I quote, "loads of sex-appeal". And now, here we have Sista-Girl LG showing the classical symptom of lovesickness: insulting the object of her affections. The more insults, the deeper the affection. When you say "he looks like inuu qubays uu baahanyahay", it means......never mind...but u get the point. LG, we can all read through your long-time fixation with Abu Mansoor(archive search, LG + Abu Mansoor); you have fallen, hard weliba, for Shaykhul Mujaahideen. It's all good, sista. Love happens. It's real. But, you don't have to languish over unrequited love. When daughter of Nabi Shucayb first saw Nabi Muusaa, she was impressed with his strength, honour, and manliness; so she went back to her father and said: "Yaa abati is'ta'jarhu in'a khayra man is'ta'jarta al'qawwiyul ameen". And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): And our father is a very old man." 24. So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:"O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send me!" 25. Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him, walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people." 26. Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty".... 27. He said: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years, it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me, indeed, if Allah wills, one of the righteous You see, LG ? That could be you and Abu Mansoor, walking on the soft sands of Liido beach, watching the sun set on a Free Mogadisho(inshallah), dreaming about a lifetime together, raising a family of believers, a family thoroughbred warriors. But you gotta stop this whole grrrl-power feminazi schtick of insulting the guy you love, thinking that's gonna make you get over him. Here's what you gotta do: A) Acknowledge your feelings for Abu Mansoor. You're crazy about him. You scour the Internets everyday hoping a new picture of him turns up. You gotta admit this. Lie to us if you want to, swear that your heart doesn't do gymnastics at the sight of Mansoor holding a press conference, but please, do not lie to yourself. B) Accept the fact that in order to be with the man of your dreams, you're gonna have to take the 4th wife slot. That means there are 3 women ahead of you on seniority points. True and enduring love demands sacrifices. So what if you only get to see Boo Mansoor once a week, is true love not worth it, sister ? C) Have your Wali(gaurdian) contact Abu Mansoor. Write a letter telling him how much you admire him and his young buckin' steady gunnin' thorougbreds for standing strong, a stand history will forever remember, in defense of Deen'ta, Dal'ka, and Dad'ka, and at a time when lesser men, of Gun'nimmo stock and persuasion, were busying making flimsy excuses to rationalise their infamy. Tell him all that. And then ask if the 4th wifey slot is still available and if he is still taking application for that position. D) Get married. Live happily ever after and all that. Name your first child after me: Kashka NG, dood fiican aa noo socotay on the Recolonization of Somalia thread, i'll get back to it soon as I can.

Salute to Sharif: the Geography teacher who once again showed that the pens are indeed mightier than the sword No comment.

^^ Sorry, homes. I don't see any contradiction whatsoever in Mujaahid Red Sea's position. You, NG, and others want to pin him against a wall and put him in a narrow box of your making Hogwash. The brother has clearly articulated where he stands and what he believes in. We may(or may not) have political differences, but on the critical issues of Islamnimo and Somalinimo, he stands firm like a rock. NG tried to goad him into accepting Ethiopia as a friend and neighbor, lol. Yaa uu sheegu, some of us have this thing called principles, qiyam, and mawaazeen. Some of us are not dhulified dhbhdlfs, guillible peaceniks, and cynical skeptics. Mujaahid, Keep up the good work, bro. Dhago ha uu laabin the remonstrations of spineless men oo mar hore raganimo ka dhax baxay.

There is a inaccuracy in the title of this thread. Shariif Ahmed did not just become "isolated and alone" right now, or even after the Ja'Booty Farce, he effectively lost the confidence of the collective Resistance when he deserted his companions under the guise of "waan noo soo biyo-dhaaminaa". And he has never regained it. The only reason he remains relevant(and dangerous) is because of the support of the Itarnashanal Kamoonity for him, after seeing his his readiness to become a willing pliable tool- Just put me on the seat of Power, Dammit!!!

Abdullahi Yusuf is the head askari, still looking at a blank future without the master's orders. Why is Sheikh Sharif joining the club of askaris? Whose work is he doing? That of America? Igad? Ethiopia? Somali's At&T, A brilliant story and a brilliant analogy. I'm re-reading it again to fully appreciate the hideous irony and parallels to the situation in Somalia. I bear witness that Shaykh Shariif has not only joined the club of askaris, but that he soon will become the head of the Askaris and he will soon (attempt*) to supervise the (attempted*) rape of his womenfolk and the (attempted*) destruction of his village, on behalf of his beloved Itarnashanal Kaamoonity. As for Cabdullahi Amxaar and his band of merry dhb******s, kuwaas waxba ha kasoo qaadin, they are the political equivalent of discarded condoms. Khatar'ta waxay ka taagan tahay, ninka hor'boodhaayo the biggest fitnah in Somalia today, one certain Shariif Ahmed, former Macalin Dugsi, current Jago-Doon sell-out. * I use the word attempt because, try as he might, he is destined for failure. Just as Amxaari Yey tried(and failed) to conquer Umada Soomaliyeed oo Xalaasha ah on the backs of 30,000 Ethiopion troops, Shariif Ahmed will try do the same thing with a joint UN/Amisom 'bees'keebing' troops. And then he will fail. And then he will answer for his actions.

If he does not get his way and if Ethiopia vacates Benadir exposing him to the wolves he will have no choice but return to Puntland and declare independency @independency. Whatever happened to the 'secessionist mafia' rhetoric ? Whatever happened to 'dawladnimo' 'qarannimo' iy 'fowr-bointi-fife' ? If Cabdullahi Amxaar thinks it's gonna be all malab iyo caano by raising his skirt and high-tailing it to Garowe, macalinka is in for a rude awakening. Nothing will satisfy the Resistance save complete, unconditional, and abject surrender(wahom saaghiroon). Some folks mistakenly believe that the on-going Liberation Halgan is a fight against Ethiopia and that the war will end when Ethiopia is expelled. Wrong. This is a revolutionary struggle to reclaim the soul of Somalia, the very meaning of what it is to be a Somali, to be a Muslim. And in that effort, all of the dhbhdolifs, mooriyaaan, and qabilistos that have feasted on the flesh of Umada Soomaliyeed these past 40 years will be eradicated. No mercy. No reconcilliation. No compromise. Through the crack of the bullet and the roar of mortar, they will be force-fed the dirt of humiliation and the ghost of accountability and justice will haunt their last days on earth, as they flee seeking exile and mercy when there is none to be had. Some might wonder: Might this take-no-prisoners approach fan the flames of clan war ? The answer is refreshingly simple: So. Be. It. Any clan milita what stands up with Yey, Nur Cade, Adam Madoobe will be the authors of their own doom. The same dharbaaxo kulayl oo ku dhacthay Barre Hiraale and the Nine Mogadisho Warlords(wa kaana fil madeenati tiscatu rahtin yufsidoon fil ardhi walaa yuslixoon) is what awaits them. Hadee jiraan dad iska dhaadhaciyay that Somalia will fragment into 'Tol enclaves' where each clan has their 'righteous sphere of influence', they might wanna wake up from that pleasent IsQancis dream. As town after town and city after city falls to the Resistance, the qaylo-dhaan and cabaad of Tol enthusiasts(overt or covert) will be a wonderful tune to the ears of Umada Soomaliyeed oo Xalaasha ah.

^^ I will remind you again yaa mughafal(wa thakir fa inaa thikraa tanfacul mu'mineen): Nur Cadde is the man who, as Attorney General, signed the murder warrants of 11 of the bravest sons Somalia has ever produced. At a time that the entirety of Somali-dom was scared shitless of the Barre regime, these Scholars stood up and spoke truth to the power, in the face of certain death, and reminded Umada Soomaliyeed of Xukun-ka Ilaahay and of al-Kitaab wal Sunnah. The Somali Pharaoh was incensed: " How dare these wadaad peasants challenge me, waa anaa rabakum al'claa.(I am your Lord Most High). And in the tradition of tyrants since Pharaoh, he had them murdered. Hadaba, Siad Barre woo bakhtiyay. His then-underling and current Prime Xabashi boot-licker still lives. The sword of justice is unforgiving and ever vigilant. And as sure as the break of dawn, Nur Cadde will have to account for his deeds. Or he can join Mr. Shariif Ahmed at the Sheraton in Ja'Booty and they can academically discuss the career and financial benefits of 'statesmanship' and 'calling for peace'

S-pride, Good question. Perhaps it's because he knows that Puntland itself will fall to the Dhalinyarta within hours of Ethiopians vacating their bases in Bosaaso and Gaalkacyo. Mida kale, we have all seen the 'fighting ability'(or lack thereof) of the Puntland militia as well as their exceptional sprinting ability when it comes to fagatax . If they have been easily whipped by Hiraale and Riyaale, do you think they stand any chance facing the battle-hardened veterans of Iidaale and Raas Kaambooni ? mar-mar runta in la isu sheego aa fiican, abti. So I think it is a wise move for Adeer Cabdullahi to search for a country that will accept him as a political refugee in fear of his life. Somebody should tell Nur Cade and Aadan Madoobe to start doing the same thing.

.....effectively, implementing pragmatic policies that foster economic growth? Ba-leev that, fools. Not only are they cutting taxes, but have also initiated a multi-million dollar revamping plan that will modernize Kismayo Port, streamline the loading/off-loading procedures, and increase overall Port efficiency. Leave it to the crazy-extremist-fringe-deviant-barbaric-terrorists (feel free to suggest any other epithets) to be the responsible stewards of the Somali economy. All the while Mr. Sharif Ahmed is still wrestling with proper table etiquette in the Sheraton Hotel of Ja'Booty. All the while Cabdullahi Amxaar puts the final touch on his exile preparation, as he hunts for residences in London, Nairobi, and Tripoli. All the while the TFG self-implodes in a spectacular show of greed, corruption, and ego-mania.(apart from the inherent dhulinimo of being Ethiopian boot-lickers) All that while, leave it to the Crazy Terrorists to actually provide sound governance, economic growth, and saftey and security to millions as they consolidate their advances(now controlling over 300,000 square kilometers). To borrow a phrase from G-Haadi Red Sea: "Wey Dhaqaaqthay" :cool: To the Playa-Haters: Eat shit and die. To the Gobonimo-doon Gacals: Victory is on the horizon. In spite, of the braying of the dhbdlif donkeys and the bleating of the peacenik sheep. Victory is but a hour's worth of fortitude, a stand of honour that will span the breadth of history. Victory is here, inshallah.

Akhiiran ,lets not go the route good Ayyoub and Oodweyne seem to be going toward! Namely, lets not reduce the whole caravan argument to this seemingly cuqdad that says xiin is reer hebel so he suports this caravan thing to save ina Yey's **! Akhi Xiin, to mention your name with Ina Yey or any other qabqable is an injustice. Whatever my disagreements with you, you have always advocated a Pan-Somali platform, one that is based on what is good for the Dal, the Dad, and the Deen, even if you sometimes arrive at catastrophical conclusions(like ur current peacenik craziness). Anybody that accuses you of Tol'nimo waa qof asaga jiran. Taasi waa taa, halkaa naga dhig. You have no strategy to solve the Somali problem I am a nobody. You should be lobbing that IsQancis talking point to the men who liberated Merka and Qoryoolay without a shot being fired(how's that for strategy, homey) No strategy kulahaa. Saaxib, god-kee ku jirtay for the past 2 years ? How was Kismayo liberated ? How were the two Jubbas and the two Shabbeles, Bay, Bakool, Hiiraan liberated ? Through talking ? Through pontificating Through mealy-mouthed nac'nac iyo jac'jac. Waraa, wadan'ka rag rijaal ah, oo weliba rabaaniyiin ah, aa oo halgamay, oo xoreeyay, while your Saviours were learning hotel dinner ettiqute and how to operate a spoon and a fork. Adeer, I know you want to win the argument. That's why this thread has such a pompous title. But let us, even with diametrically opposing viewpoints, leave some room for intellectual honesty. Inkiraada jooji. Jaxd'diga(arabic) jooji. You know too well that every gain and every advance the liberation halgan has made over the course of 2 years was done, exclusively, after Ilaahay(SWT), at the hands of those who you call 'extremist' and 'fringe'. You know too well that Shaykh Sharif and the Djbouti clowns have done shit but sit on their saliid macsaro behind and 'talk'. This, of course, is politically incorrect. It's too blunt. People feel uncomfortable reading it. But it's the damn truth. You know it. I know it. And so do all the readers. Wars are won and freedom is gained, not by the bullshitting of politicians, but by the blood of patriots. The only reason Shariif is being set-up in fancy hotels, and actually being talked to is because of the sweat and blood of men that are a million times his worth. If, as you, Baashi, and the rest of the IsQancis Brigade dreamed of, that there was no armed Resistance to the occupation and everybody laid down their weapons, and Ethiopia secured it's hegemony over every square inch of Somalia...............do you think the Itarnashanal Kamoonity would give a rat's azz about a koofid-wearing diif-dribbling qaxooti called Shaykh Shariif ? As my Nigerian friend would say in pidgin: Ahh-Ahh, Look at ur head, You craze. Sharif, or rabble Mr. Ahmed as you called him, is neither heretic nor unbeliever When did I ever call him a heretic or unbeliver ? I am no Takfeeri if that is what you are insinuating(as u did in a previous thread). Just because you have no legs to stand on, bro, doesn't mean you're allowed to make shit up calaa kayfak. All in all, Sharif is fallible as all mortals are. He could fail, and what he thinks is the best approach may not work. But by trying it, with the remarkable bravery he has thus far shown, history will, Inshaa Allah, preserve his name in the years to come Right, right, right. Just like it preserved the name of Anwar Sadaat and the way his name is piloried, to this day, and tied to Salaam al'Shuj'caan(Peace of the Brave) ? Just like it preserved the name of Neville Chamberlain and the the infamous "peace in our time" debacle? Or maybe it will remember him as the Somali Benedict Arnold (this may look like a harsh and unfair comparison, but if he continues on this course, he will be even worse then Benedict Arnold) ? The fact of the matter is: You are the one thinking on emotions. You are the one who has fallen in love with the myth of Shaykh Shariif(just as we all once did). You have been captured by his honey'd tongue and soothing words. For 18 years, you have watched your country burn under the fires of civil war and clan-conflict. Your heart is weary, your concern for the masaakiin heavy, you just can't take it anymore. And Lo and behold, on yonder horizon is the Promised Messiah who will bring peace and stability to this troubled land. The Foretold One who will order the lion to lay down with the lambs. The Saviour who will tame the Somali hyenas and snakes. Shaykh Shariif Shaykh Ahmed. Yaa Salaaam. I remember you waxing lyrical about another dude in a similar fashion. You called him, and I quote, "A towering figure of intellect and statesmanship". I reminded you: "Akhi Xiin, he was the man that signed the execution orders of the 11 scholars that Siad Barre(lacnada ilaahay ha ku sugnaato) murdered". You brushed it off nonchalantly(the potency of IsQancis in action): "No problem. It's in the past. Allah is Merciful. He has changed. He is a good man and will work for peace". No evidence., No informed decision-making, just shoot-at-the-hip gut reaction, sheer euphoria at the distant(and non-existent) prospect of peace. Nur Cadde inoo xaar ka wareegay, the whole world aa eh witness. But staying true to your always-right, never-wrong geeljire mentality, you will not retract your hyperventilating endorsement of Nur Cade, just as you will never change your view on Shaykh Shariif, regardless of what he does. For you, Reality is tainted with a 'extremist fringe' bias, as Stephen Colbert would put it. I am reminding you of all of this to make one point clear: You, not your friend, is guilty of emotional thinking that is rooted in a fantasy world of rationalisation. I already told you this, duqa, but I will say it again: Indaha kala-for, waayo athigoo soojeedid aa jiiftaa. Hadootii regret iyo sidaan aa kawaday, saan aa umalaynaayay, Allow-Alle, waxba ma tarayso. Xamaasada kugu kacsan, oo indaha kaa tirtirtay, xagaas naga dhig. Nin'ka aa uu sacab-tumaysid sidaan ayoo ku dambeeyay, heading to Addis Abba, begging bowl in hand, inoo jilbaha qabsado Meles Zenawi: "Aboowe macaaan, waa ku baryaa, iga qaleey nooh. Daris baa nahay, waa isu baahanahay( this part he said publicly on radio interview). Wallahi, aniga Etoobiyaanka waan jeclahay. We are not a threat to you. Baliis, giif me your blessings. Make me Braym Ministar and I will hunt down the 'fringe' deviants and give you their heads on a saxan" Pathetic. What is a Macalin Dugsi doing in the world of international scheming and politics anyway ? Does he even speak English ? Can he put two sentences together ? Did you know that he signed the Jabouti Farce agreement with just one member who allegedly knew English(Cabdishakoor something) ? The idiocy never stops. As you will read in the article I linked to, ALL of the other members of the Djbouti wing were in shock when he said he was gonna travel to Addis Abba and beg for mercy(ok, he didn't say beg for mercy, laakin waaa isla meeshii, don't nitpick). He refused to listen to their frantic appeals and remonstrations. Ninkaas aa rabtaa inaa wadanka uu dhiibtid. Waxuu isku darsaday: An appaling lack of judgement. Go-it-alone caqli. A penchant for the high-life. Jago-doon'nimo. And worst of all: Taking the counsel and confidence of all the entities that have worked tirelessly to make sure Somalia never rises from the rubble(UN, US, IGAD, Kenya) and excluding and breaking away from the men who painted Somali soil red with their blood, defending all that is holy in this world. My friend, anybody that supports such a man is one of two things: a) A well-meaning, good-hearted doqon(like Shaykh Shariif) b) A wily opportunist(like Sharif Xasan, Cumar Xaashi). I think you're neither. I think you'll wake up from this IsQancis foolishness and reboard the Gobonimo train as it moves on to Mogadisho, Baidoba and beyond. Let's call this a temporary madness inflicted by witnessing 18 years of war and bloodshed

^^ Great article, even if it has a few inaccuracies, yaa G-haadi Red Sea. Wanted to highlight some of the more salient parts: Islamist fighters rode unchallenged into both Merka and Elasha after the pro-government militia deserted. With rifles slung casually across their backs, they waved and smiled at residents as they moved into the towns shouting "God is great!" " The Islamist fighters do not loot our property and do not extort money ," said Yusuf Keynan, whose shop in Merka lies a stone's throw from the azure Indian Ocean. It is a view shared by residents of Elasha, where more than 100 heavily armed rebels arrived Wednesday night after the pro-government militia fled. "The Islamic militia are patrolling in the streets," shopkeeper Fadumo Hussein Dahir said in a telephone interview. " They have dismantled a roadblock where pro-government militia used to take extortion money from passing vehicles," Dahir said. "... Now things are quiet ." Peace. Tranquility. Kal-Gacayl. Honour. Nabad. Daganaansho. Confidence. Isku-dhuubnaasho. Equality. I am my Brother's Keeper. I am my Sister's Keeper. Deentayadu. Dadkayagu. Dalkayagu. For a country that has known nothing but terror and horror for the better part of 40 years(u didn't think shit started in '91, didja now?), those words, the feelings they engender, and the reality they describe, are a soothing balm on the wounds of cabsi, oppression, and qabiil tyranny; a healing calm that descended upon the oppressed masses of Merka and Qoryoolay and gently awakened them from the nightmare of the clan-caste system where unarmed, farming and mercantile communities where terrorised by xaaraan-ku-nax militias. No more nightmare. No man will ever call you derogatory names. And he who does will be whipped in public like a dog. Nobody will ever refer to you as bointi-fife(0.5) Nobody will take advantage of you because you are a peaceful, unarmed people. No man will dare take your property, harass your daughters, and xoog nii sheegto anymore. Ninkee qabiil cuskado, oo isku haleeyo, oo daho reer hebel baan ahay(F you and your reer), sida loo karbaashaayo, boo dhiig matagaa. Qasaman bi'Rabil Kacba. This is only the beginning. Justice will be brought to every corner and every tuulo of Somalia. It will be one long, hard, but glorious, slog. And it will be worth every drop of blood shed(of the dhbdlfs, the mooooriyaan, and the qabiilistos), it will be worth every sacrifice and every hardship. For then, and only then will we be --------------------> One people, One nation, Indivisible, Under Ilaahay(SWT), with Freedom and Equality guaranteed by Xukm-ul-Allah, and the Shareecah Al-Samaxa.

Protocol, Athiga weli waxay kaa taagantahay Puntland iyo caqli-amxaar. Abti, 2008 aa lagu jiraa. Boor-ka iska jaf, bac-da iska fur, inta aa Boontilaan wiswaas'keeda sida Quraan camal uu aqrinaysid, failure, bitterness, and disaster aa kuu sugnaatay. You don't have to believe me. Waxaa waraysataaa Col. Af-Gaduud where Puntland'nimo ii gaysay.

Neph, Mujahid LX, Mujahid Red Sea: Allahu Akbar Indeed. Guusha Ebbe(SWT) way soo dhow-dahay. "When (will come) the help of Allah?" Lo! Verily, the help of Allah is near! Baashi, Being a proud citizen of Reality-land, and not IsQancis-vania, I will concede that some of the points you made are valid. But you paint a picture of doom and gloom that is simply not accurate. Xoogaa cusbadii iyo sukartii aa ku badisay analysis-kaada. Division and in-fighting is a risk, but it is not as imminent or extensive as you make it out to be. As of now, ALL of the resistance members are united in one mission: 1-Fighting Ethiopia, untill it is expelled in a humiliating manner. 2- Dismantling the TFG and anybody that is allied with it. 3-Implementing a transitional shareeca-based maamul on all the areas they liberate. Notice that there is no room for Shaykh Shariif and his cantar-baqash(oh the shame). Again, ALL of the resistance groups have not only rejected the Djbouti farce, but condemned it in the strongest language possible. In stark contrast to the gloomy picture you paint, thoroughbreds are working to implement the ayah "wactasimo bi xablilaahi jameecan walaa tafaraaqoo". Baashi-ow, ama cirka oo bood, ama dhulka isku garaac, meel aa aga fakanaysid the Gobonimo Train ma jirto. Mogadisho falls next. Baidoba aa ku xigto. Markaasii xagaa iyo Gaalkacyo and beyond. Bi'idnillah Tacalaa. What will you, and macsharal peaceniks, do then ? Tashada, ina abti, inta aa nalii talinin.

NG, I agree with your overall point. I just think you made a mistake lumping the Dhalinyaro/Resistance together with the rest of the 'vaunted groups'. Another caveat: I don't think the Resistance has all the answers for Somalia nor is it free from crucial errors and miscalculations(Airport fiasco and church demolishment stand out. WTH were they thinking?) What it does have, however, uniquely exclusive, is the short-term answer: Expelling the Ethiopians, Destroying the rampant Qabiil machine(like they did so admirably in Kismayo), and eliminating all of the civil-war figures, reigon by reigon. Which is why I say we are in a new, infant yet decisive, age of Somali history, political or otherwise. I am sure that the rest of Somali-dom will come around to that conclusion as city after city, town after town, falls to the Sons of Somalia. Reality has a intrusive way of slapping the shit out of folks. Duke Gebreselassie and Koora Aw-Dhabdhlif won't be harping on dawladnimo and fowr-bointi-fife when the Dhalinyaro flag is firmly planted in the city center of Garowe and Las Caanood.

It’s conceivable however that ultimately these groups wanting to continue the fight with in Somalia must brought to a halt Translation through the 100% honesty filter: "Braathaar, peace is a precious and fragile commodity! And we must need chart any course that would preserve the peace, as it were! Shaykh Shariif in his recent trip to Jowhar and Beled-Weyne, has been recruiting his Tol members to join a Sharif-Yey joint Tol milita that is being funded and equipped by the UN/US, per his recent meeting with Madam Frazer in Nairobi. Unfortunately, he met with a hostile reception. Even his Tol members cannot swallow the dhulinimo of joining the TFG and fighting on the same side as the Ethiopian military advisors. So the peace caravan has been bogged down in the swamp of morality and principles. Darn it! Conscience of Man has a way of screwing up the best-laid plans. Luckily for us, the peaceniks, we have a secret card to play: Bribery. Thanks to UN/US financial support, we will flood Somalia with crisp newly-printed greenbacks. We will attempt to pay off and buy the commanders on the ground. Conscience and principles have a way of vanishing when they meet the Mighty Dollar. We know that even money won't budge the extremist fringe group that now governs...er, brutally occupies(our directives state that we cannot refer to the extremists in a positive light, even if it's true.) over 300,000 square kilometers(in comparison, larger than the United Kingdom, Philippines, and Ghana) including the strategic port towns of Kismayo and Merka. So we will go to war with them.....even if we have to call upon the Ethiopian enemy to do so(we need their airpower)." That's what Xiin knows in his heart of hearts......but is unwilling to say. So I said it for him. The Noble Steed Xiin of 2006 and 2007 has been perverted into a caricature of his former self.(I blame baashi, told Xiin a million times to stop 'pallin around' with him, bad influence). The above is the boiled-down-to-the-basics of what Shaykh Shariif, Cumar Xaashi, Sharif Xasan and the peacenik movement is all about: Accept Ethiopia as the senior and dominant power in the Horn, accept Somalia as willing subordinate. Accept the authority of the Ethiopian clients, the dhb******s, *********, and Tol elders. Reward the war criminals of yesterday with plum influential positions in the name of reconcilliation. Accept, unconditionally, any demands Ethiopia might make, like fighting, and eventually extraditing, any 'extremist fringe' groups if they don't lower the heads and toe the line. To their credit, and observing intellectual honesty, I believe they started off as good men. Patriotic well-meaning Somalis who have been, to quote Professor Michael Weinstein, seduced and intimidated by the Itaranashanal Kamoonity into surrenduring, in spirit and letter, to the TFG/Tigray alliance. So, hopefully, they can rehabilitated, if that is, they stop driving down the road of self-destruction Their only headache at this time is how to deal with the surging, conquering Resistance movement that is gobbling up new territory by the minute. They are in a unenviable position: Having negligible resources(men, cities, arms) on the ground, they are now attempting, disastrously, to form a milita that will be loyal to Sharif and integrate it into the TFG. We shall see how it goes. I think we all know whatever Tol militia rabble Mr. Ahmed is able to gather will be no match for the battle-hardened veterans of Iidaale, Daynoonay, and Diinsoor. If I were a peacenik, I would not be issuing booto.com hanjabaad like Cumar Xaashi did earlier this week.

^ The spontaneous Islamic Awakening that exploded onto the Somali political scene in 2006 has been unprecedented in Somali history. Every 'vaunted group' before them was built on one thing and one thing only: Qabiil. Tolaaaaaaaay iga soo gaara. Anaka vs Ayaka. Anakaa aa iska leh (insert city name, Kista, Xamar, LA,) The Sons of Somalia, however, be they Dhalinyarta or others, draw their members, funding, and support from every tuulo and every degmo in the Horn of Africa. Kasoo bilaw the NFD ilaa Zeylac. Kasoo bilaw Jigjiga ilaa xeebaha Barqaal. Theirs is a Pan-Somali grass-roots campaign that speaks to the nobler qualites of the Somali spirit: Gobonimo. Geesinimo. Gacal'nimo. I am my Brother's Keeper. Deenta waa deentayadu. Dadka waa dadkayagu. Dalka waa dalkayagu. It is this defining quality, the absolute rejection(and destruction) of Qabiil power, that distinguishes them, fundamentally, from the rest of qashin-qob-rabble you mentioned(SNM, SSDF, USC, SNF, RRA). Try as you might to discredit these thoroughbreds, to look for barely visible chinks in their armour, they represent the dawning of a new age in Somali history: The Age of Islamic Governance and the ruthless unequivocal destruction of any individual, group, or entity that is allied, in the slightest, with Ethiopia.(No ifs, no buts) Af-macaanays iyo abooowe macaaan meesha ma taalo. Through the crack of the bullet and the roar of mortar, nimanka Amxaaro adoomo oo noqday will be brought to their knees untill they say "Abeed, Abeed"(Amharic for I surrender, I surrender). This prospect frightens not only the 'usual suspects'(dhbhlifs, mooriyaaaan, clan elders, seperatists), but it also terrifies the spineless jago-doon peaceniks who are now allying themseleves with the TFG/Tigray alliance, promising soldiers for a 'unified' Yey/Sharif Tol militia(Lol, how the mighty have fallen). Marka, this major quibble notwithstanding, it was a entertaining read.
