General Duke, if creating stability in my hometown and extending the security process in somaliland means being "mugged" then let it be bitter piratelander.

General Duke, what about mugger, the people of somaliland chose him legally and some are happy with their choice of the president, while your pirate state civilians are crying everyday about faroole and his worship of ethiopia and not freeing the confused masses imaginary "SSC".

General Duke , lool trying to distance himself from his own pirate thugs, we all know it was just a stunt to try and impress the international media that pirateland doesn't habour piracism in the horn , that puntland - itself a pirate state captured a fellow pirates lol anybody with a common sense would know it's basically a stunt.

I see the pirateboys are excited about the elections, too bad puntland doesn't have much excitement in their elections since it's 1 poll room elections lol.

SOO MAAL, it's not actually all of burco it says east burco community, but i believe the east burco community are concerned about the events that took place in buhoodle because they also live in buhoodle region especially Qoryaale - western buhoodle areas and the nearby villages.

Reer Las anod showing their support for UDUB.

Any pirate criminals caught in the sea's of somaliland will be punished simple as that.

FIDHIN, Morgan knows if he comes to the west he will face the same fate if not worse but rather his hiding in kenya.

A former Somali prime minister is not protected by sovereign immunity from a lawsuit in the United States for alleged torture and human rights abuses, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday. In a unanimous decision, the high court handed a defeat to Mohamed Ali Samantar, who served as Somalia's defense minister in the 1980s and then as prime minister from 1987 to 1990. Justice John Paul Stevens said in the ruling that a U.S. law, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, protected foreign states and their agencies, but not an official acting on behalf of the state and did not provide Samantar with immunity. The case had been followed closely for its foreign policy implications. Granting immunity could allow foreign torturers in this country to escape responsibility, human rights groups said. The lawsuit, seeking financial damages from Samantar, was filed by a small group of Somalis who said they suffered torture or other abuses in their homeland by soldiers or other government officials under Samantar's general command. The five plaintiffs do not claim that Samantar personally committed the atrocities or that he was directly involved. But they said the Somali intelligence agencies and the military police under his command engaged in the killings, rapes and torture, including the use of electric shocks, of civilians. Samantar has lived in Virginia since 1997 while some of the plaintiffs are naturalized U.S. citizens. They brought the lawsuit in 2004 under a U.S. law called the Torture Victim Protection Act. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, but a U.S. appeals court reinstated it, ruling the 1976 sovereign immunity law does not apply to individuals. That decision prompted Samantar to appeal to the Supreme Court. RULING LIMITED TO REACH OF 1976 LAW Stevens upheld the appeals court's ruling. He emphasized that the Supreme Court's decision was narrow, limited only to the reach of the 1976 law and he sent the case back to the judge for more proceedings. Stevens said whether Samantar may be entitled to immunity under the common law, which is based on judicial precedent rather than legislation, and whether Samantar may have other valid defenses to the charges against him are matters to be decided by the judge. Somalia has been without central rule since warlords toppled former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. A cycle of civil conflicts has ensued. In the latest chapter of Somalia's bloody recent history, al Qaeda-linked Islamists have been waging an insurgency against a U.N.-backed interim government. The Supreme Court case is Samantar v. Yousuf, No. 08-1555. (Editing by Vicki Allen) Source: Reuters

Good luck to the young couple of somaliland.

Central Government has already failed and proofed not to work.

I though this topic was about taarikh? no? seems some people want to change it to different directions.

Why go to Dhahar when he can go to the capital Erigavo where he will recieve a warm somaliland welcome.

Jidbaale is the waagacusub version of the north nothing new here.

Hales, aniga soomaaliida sometimes waan la yaba they expect people not to attack the sayyids movement when infact it was them attacking peoples hometowns first and later calaacaling when the movement got annihilated in the battle of Hogaagane in the hands of the Waraabe & Major Risaaldr Xaaji Muuse Faarax.

Maaddeey, Waraabe took revenge against the dervish cause 10 years before they raided his hometown ( under a tribal raid) looting camels so he did what every man with balls would and take revenge against them looting a camel boot of 70,000 - in the battle hogoogane i respect him for standing up for himself and not being a coward.

Maaddeey, infact do you know the first somali man to attack the british way before even the sayyid arrived from sudan was Suldaan Amaan Nuur in berbera? the first ever battle also to take place against the british was also in burco, Suudi Shabeele, Suldaan Amaan Nuur, and the Sayyid were all present there and this was when there use to be good relations between the people of burco and the sayyid, the dervish movement was born in burco and it died in Qoraxeey & Immy.

Maaddeey, I heard about that famous incident i am not trying to discredit the sayyid laakinse when people over-exaggerate him that is when i will step in and tell the taarikh how it is for example even after when he died in 1920-1921 - 40 years before british somaliland independence i simply asked tujiye to tell me why christianity didn't spread in all that 40 years? he simply failed to answer me and restored to mr john iyo waxas. Lastly the sayyid was not the only 1 fighting colonials there was numerous men such as Suldaan Amaan Nuur, Suudi Shabeele, Sheikh Omar Bashiir, and many other numerous men and they deserve credit aswell.

Maaddeey, i never said it was sayyid's fault but all i was saying is every people have their bad apples and good apples so tujiye should think about it before he tries to badmouth/mock other groups.

Karl_Polanyi , it's funny indeed the level of bias in some members if some people think they have a free pass insulting my people they have something coming.

C&H, i never mentioned your name nor am i interested in conversing with you , talk about assuming things!

Not only that the sayyid also starved and looted the camels of entire sub groups wh opposed his rule it's well documented and some where killed by small pox in the somali region when they were fleeing the bombarding of the british planes in taleex iyo Cidaankii Adan Gibb, and last of the remaining soldiers were killed by Haji Warsame Buraale Waraabe Haji waraabe - haji the the Hyena & Risaaldr Haji Musa Farah under the battle called "Hogoogane"..

The Zack, it wasn't supposed to be funny but merely a taarikh , i guess you have no clue where is A&T he will properly tell you the caano-boore crews long connection with haile selassie and Caashre Dheere.

The Zack , what can you tell us about the relationship between Caarshe Dheere - Sir Geoffrey Archer and the Caano-boore crew?
