Bring it on. For Somaliland, its Recognition or we take over all of Somalia for good no questions asked and no one will stop us. Etheir way we win. Originally posted by GAAROODI: And when i say we will take it over that means forever. Somalia will belong to us and Somaliland will own every square inch you can stay in your pirate and trafficing dens. but you have to understand that things will change when the Somaliland flag flys high over bosaso and garowe and our soldeirs and our soldeirs do a dame good job. Garowe is 1 hour away from las anod dukey and we know you cant stop Somaliland so you better pray i get recognition or else im comming for you and the villagers of garowe and bosaso, im sure i can do with more land. Originally posted by GAAROODI: mmmmmuuuuuhaaaaahhha aaa.........!!! loooooooooool, in all honousty. I hope we dont get recognition because that would be to good for you, i want to own every square inch of Somalia and i know the alshabab and the pirates of puntland would run away when they see the Somaliland tank division charging towards them, they can do what puntland has done surrender and submit. Why only take the resources of Somaliland when you can take the human resource of Somalia and its minirals,ports and resources as your own. Politics is a dirty game, but as machievelli argued it is better to be feared than loved. And by the way if you think that means you could come to Somaliland think again, you would probably get linched there, just got back and the sorts of stuff i witness were halarious. In our world, many times when you meet such unbelievably and obviously low mental capabilities such as our little queen's orphan here, the first thought is clearly "This MUST be a set up! It is simply rdiculously IMPOSSIBLE for nin-weeyn to be that pathetic and sad for real! Our resident secessionist numskulls must be pulling a very hedious prank on the SOL community, cuz if not, the jaded aspirations of these folks from NW Somalia look rather doubtfull and highly questionable--LOL, for Allah's sake, they got this genius MAROODI on the frontlines for their silly little cause. p.s I propose Somalis everywhere contribute to a special fund, that will raise monies to purchase school buses for the Northwest communities of Somalia. 70% of which will have to be the short yellow school bus. I'm sure with such special ones in our midst, they will be put to good use. :cool:

Originally posted by GAAROODI: In all honousty, when all the bull is forgotten what matters is the reality on the ground, so what is the reality on the ground. Somalia is a battle ground for radical jihadist, the U.S. government is in a major campaign supporting the government with weapons,finance and covert and overt military solutions. What will be the eventual conclusion, if any of you have read the book the "art of war" based on the reality on the ground, the situation will continue to be the way that it is and will eventually lead to those who have greater resource,man power and geographic faverability. Alshabab right now has a the resources mainly supplied by sympathisers,arab doners and eriteria (who is doing it to counter Ethiopia). Alshabab has more man power than any other entity in Southern Somalia, The geography gives them the advantage by having numerous little villages and major towns to operate out of, like kismayo. American foreign policy has in the past changed over night, right now it supports the government in its battle against alshabab, once the government titers and falls which it eventually will, its foreign policy will switch to Somaliland. You ask why? again, The U.S. will turn to Somaliland because at present it is the number one military power of all the somali peoples, what the U.S. will probably look to do is isolate Somalia and return it to UN trusteeship were the whole world will have a collective right to monitor and patrol. So Somalia would technically belong to the U.N. 18 governments and not one has worked, that shows that this problem is requires drastic action. Puntland again as i said previously is an entity in name only hyped up by little kids like dukey who have never even been to Africa (i know he will say hes been there,but you can tell he has never been because he's always in the internet). Puntland cant even take control of Las anod, they havent paid there so called police,army a wage in like 4 years, to the extent that soldiers are becoming criminals to feed there families. You can hype up puntland as much as you want, but the reality is its 3 regions which have low populations, and consists of little villages like garowe and bosaso, if you dont believe me go to google earth and check it out compare hargaisa to bosaso, bosaso is half the size of burco. Garowe is smaller that borama and that their capital. Saxib, stop trying to sell me garbage cause i aint buying. lol Thanks for the FAIRY TALE, saaxiib! Now...you need to get over yourself!- cuz you fast becoming a total waste of bandwidth. Suuuure, but ofcourse, you've typed some letters here, and they (by sheer coincidence) may have formed some words, and almost made some sentences; but shamefully, they ALL mounted to nothing more than a pathetic textual drivel.

^^^ Ssssh, not so loud! Lest the pirates think this is a very long underwater ship. I think they call those submarines, and the ransome for one of those is alot of mullah... But I guess it good news, right. :rolleyes: Now inform your fellow Somalis to stop the violence, so as to take advantage of this fancy internet thingy! :cool: Dabshid; Imagine you were tasked to come up witha nationwide campaign to sell this internet wire to Somalis in Somalia. How would you go about it. Please humor me! Thx.

HELLO NOMADS!! Thousands of Somalis are dying and they don't have to because we aren't doing what we can and should. Isn't that enough to make you mad? I say we can all contribute our part to help our country- and we just aren't doing it! We all have to take collective responsibility for what is going on in our country. Blaming one another isn't going to cut it anymore. We must act and we can act-- and that's where the opportunity of hope lies. We know what we must do to solve the most troublesome issue in Somalia, which is tribalism. Now, anyone who has ever taken ecnomics 101 knows that whenever there is a great need in the marketplace and you have a solution, particularly an economic solution, you can profit from this. And I don't mean just in monetary terms, but in any way you wanna measure success. So where is the solution for this so-called "great need" come in? It is unconscionable that a good number of Somalis have so much entrenched clan hatred that they no longer want to inter marry one another; no longer want to trade and do business with one another and even to some extreme refuse to live in the same neighborhood(especia lly some folks in the diaspora). This is a serious problem, and here is what I propose as a way forward... A way forward, not a state of sullen self-absorption, but a campaign to help cajole, educate and encourage Somalis all around the world to resolve this tribal insanity/beef which ever way possible and to forgive one another, and in the process build a united Somali society that loves one another. I know there are alternatives models to the one I have proposed. I would like to hear your ideas.

Walaalayaal: Somalia is dangerous and backward not because of the anarchists (who pillage and rape everything they see)but because of those who look at it without doing anything! Somalia is a joke nowadays not because of the shameful pirates who have brought to our nation this evil vice but because of those who look at it without doing anything! Somalia has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world not because of the religious deviants who maim and kill innocents on a daily basis but because of those who look at it without doing anything! Somalia is a divided nation not because of the silly unpatriotism of the secessionist numskulls of the north but because of those who look at it without doing anything! My dear Somalis and SOL compatriots; we are the dumbfounded suckers who just look at the worsening situation in our country and never do anything positive to help out. I hope, the moral shock of our nascent national death which is evident everywhere will lead us to try to learn to work with one another so that we may salvage our country from the dismal abyss it's headed. Thus, this thread is intended to help raise awareness and to shock Somalis everywhere out of their complacency. walaalayaal, fadhi ku dirir-nimo xal ma aha ee talo kale meeshaan bal keena!

How many rumors and warnings until it all begins How many moments of unease until the nation sins How many regular meals until each family runs low on food How many alarming deaths until hope is hopelessly shaken How many mothers' cries until their sons are not taken How many lonely children until their fathers don't say Good-Bye How many brave young men until no one else is willing to die How many mourning families until someone's life is preserved How many near-death incidents until rest is deserved How many dark invasions until all the cities are torn down How many stabs of pain until the killer's smile becomes a frown How many bloody fields until the fighting is all done How many gruesome battles until the end has begun How many soldiers' deaths until a white flag is risen How many shouts of protest until someone will listen How many bombs thrown until the hatred will decease How many more days of war until we are at peace

Seizures Show Somalia Rebels Need Money By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN Published: July 18, 2009 NAIROBI, Kenya — The Shabab, Somalia’s most fearsome Islamist group, the one leading a guerrilla war against the weak transitional government, may be running into a problem with its cash flow. In the past week, Shabab rebels have seized two French security advisers originally captured by a different band of Somalian gunmen, and now they are widely suspected of another kidnapping on Saturday morning along the Kenya-Somalia border. “They need money,” said one Western diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing diplomatic protocol. “It’s a fact.” Another fact: kidnapping is one of the few money-making industries left in shattered Somalia. According to a new posting on a Somalian insurgent Web site, the Shabab will soon try the Frenchmen in an Islamic court. And though the Shabab’s brand of justice often involves amputations and even beheadings, the Web site said that in this case, commanders were considering a “fine,” a signal that they may be after money more than blood. Recent events bear that out, analysts say. While Somalia’s transitional government got a 40-ton pile of guns and ammunition from the United States in June, the Shabab’s outside support may be slowing down. Kidnapping has been a lucrative business in Somalia for years, but now more than ever. The country’s central government imploded in 1991, and ever since then marauding gangs, warlords, teenage street fighters and various Islamist factions have scrambled for power and money. Pirates off Somalia’s coast netted tens of millions of dollars last year alone, seizing ships and ransoming back the crews. These days, the few foreigners who enter Somalia need platoons of gunmen to make sure they are not the next victims. At a meeting last week with reporters in Paris, Claude Guéant, chief of staff for the French president, was asked if the kidnapping of the two French security advisers, who were snatched from their Mogadishu hotel on Tuesday, was a “money issue.” Mr. Guéant answered that “it was likely” to be one.

Dear Red Sea: Please read the following, so you may educate yourself about the fitnah Godane(The niqaab wearing girlie mujaahid) and his band of deviants have unleashed upon our Somali brethren... The Khawaarij are those who revolted (i.e. made khurooj) against the ruler during the last part of ‘Uthmaan’s Khilaafah. Their revolting resulted in the murder of ‘Uthmaan (radyAllaahu ‘anhu). Then their evil increased during the Khilaafah of ‘Alee (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) and they rebelled against him, declaring him to be a disbeliever. They also pronounced disbelief on the Companions, because they would not agree with them in their (false) beliefs. So they ruled that all those who opposed them in their views were disbelievers. As a result, they pronounced disbelief on the best amongst creation - the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Why was this (?) - because they did not agree with them on their misguidance and disbelief. Their Beliefs: They do not adhere to the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah, nor do they obey the leader . Rather, they hold rebelling against him and renouncing allegiance to him to be from the Religion,[1] contrary to the advice of Allaah’s Messenger of giving obedience and contrary to what Allaah has commanded in His saying: "Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger and those in authority amongst you." [surah An-Nisaa: 59] So Allaah made obeying the ruler part of the Religion , and the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) made obeying the ruler part of the Religion, as is found in his saying: "I counsel you to have Taqwaa of Allaah and to hear and obey, even if a slave should take command over you. For indeed, whosoever lives amongst you, will see many differences..." [2] So obeying the Muslim Ruler is part of the Religion (of Islaam). But the Khawarij say: "No, we are free (from this)." This is the way of insurrection and rebellion today! So the Khawaarij are those who seek to cause division to the main unified body of Muslims and to revolt against the leaders - and there is disobedience to Allaah and His Messenger in doing this. They also hold that the person who commits a major sin is a disbeliever. So someone that commits a major sin - a fornicator, a thief, one who drinks alcohol, for example - are all considered disbelievers by them. On the contrary, Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah hold such a person as a "Muslim with deficient Eemaan"[3] and they call him a "sinner in the Religion." So he is a "believer" due to his Eemaan, while being a "sinner" due to his major sin. This is because nothing expels one out of the fold of Islaam except Shirk and the well-known things that nullify one’s Islaam. As for the sins that are below Shirk, then they do not cause one to be expelled from the fold of Eemaan, even if they are major sins. Allaah says: "Verily Allaah does not forgive that Shirk (association of partners in worship) be committed with Him, but he forgives what is lower than that (of sins) to whom He wills." [surah an-Nisaa: 48, 116] The Khawaarij say: "The one who commits a major sin is a disbeliever, he will not be forgiven and he will reside in the Hellfire forever." And this is contrary to what is stated in the Qur’aan. The reason for this is because they do not have understanding (of the Religion). Take note that the cause for their falling into these (false beliefs) was their lack of knowledge . This is because they are a people intense in their worship, prayer, fasting and recitation of the Qur’aan. And they have a strong fervor for the Religion, but they do not have knowledge - and this is the problem. So going to great lengths and exerting oneself in piety and worship must be accompanied by knowledge and understanding of the Religion. This is why the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) described them to his Companions in the following manner: That the Companions would look down upon their own prayer as compared to their prayer and on their worship as compared to their worship. Then he said: "They will shoot out from the Religion just as the arrow shoots out from a hunted game"[4] - in spite of their worship and in spite of their righteousness and their praying Tahajjud at night. So because their exertion was not based upon a correct foundation, nor upon authentic knowledge, it became a misguidance, a plague and evil upon them and upon the ummah. And furthermore, it is not known from the Khawaarij - for one day - that they fought against the disbelievers ever! Instead, they only fight with the Muslims, as the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "And they will kill the People of Islaam, while leaving alone the people of Awthaan (idols)." [5] So we have not come to know in the history of the Khawaarij that one day they fought against the disbelievers and polytheists. Rather, they are always fighting against the Muslims. They killed ‘Uthmaan and they killed ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib. They killed Az-Zubayr Ibn-ul-‘Awaam and killed the best of the Companions. And they have not stopped killing Muslims. And this is all due to their ignorance of the Religion of Allaah. But in spite of this, they had piety and worship, but since these were not founded upon authentic knowledge, it became a disease on them. This is why the great scholar, Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said in his description of them: "They have textual evidences, which they fall short of in understanding So they have been given shortness in knowledge." [6] So they use texts as evidences but yet they do not comprehend them. They use as evidence texts from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah concerning the threat for committing sins, but they do not comprehend their meanings. They do not refer them back to the other texts, in which there is found a promise for forgiveness and the acceptance of repentance for those whose sins are less than Shirk. So they accept one part and leave off another part - all of this due to their ignorance. So having an over-protective love for the Religion and enthusiasm are not sufficient. They must be founded upon knowledge and understanding of Allaah’s Religion. This is so that they can be produced from knowledge and so that they can be put in their proper place. So over-protective love for the Religion is good and enthusiasm is good, but they must be guided and directed by the following of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. There is no one with more precedence in the Religion nor more sincere to the Muslims than the Sahaabah (the Comapnions), but in spite of that, they fought against the Khawaarij due to their danger and their evil. ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib fought against them such that he slaughtered them with the worst of killings in the incident of Nahrawaan. By doing this, he realized what the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) informed us of in that the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) gave the good tidings to the one who killed them of goodness and Paradise. So ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib, he was the one who killed them - so he received this good tiding from Allaah’s Messenger.[7] He killed them in order to prevent their evil from befalling the Muslims. It is an obligation on the Muslims in every generation, if they should become aware of the existence of this wicked methodology, that they remedy it by calling to the Way of Allaah first and educating the people about it. But if they do not accept this, then they must fight against them in order to prevent their evil. ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) sent his cousin, ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Abbaas - the Habr (scholar) of the ummah and the Turjumaan (Interpreter) of the Qur’aan - to them. So he debated with them and six thousand amongst them repented and returned back, but many remained behind and did not repent. So at this point, the Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen, ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib, along with the Sahaabah, fought against them. This was in order to prevent their evil and harm from befalling the Muslims. So this is the sect known as Al-Khawaarij and their beliefs. Footnotes: [1] In our time, perhaps the one who believes that we must hear and obey the leaders in matters that are not sinful, are labeled as government agents or kiss-ups or gullible simpletons! So you will see them attacking the leaders and exposing their faults to the public from the mimbars and in their gatherings. And Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever desires to advise the sultaan (authority) about a matter, then he must not expose it in public, but rather he should take him by his hand and go in privacy with him. So if he accepts (the advice) then that is (reward) for him, and if he doesn’t (accept) then he has conveyed what will be held against him." Reported by Ahmad (3/404) from the narration of ‘Iyyaad bin Ghanam (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) Ibn Abee ‘Aasim also reported it in his book As-Sunnah (2/522). And when the leader bars one of them from speaking in public gatherings, they rally together and go out in demonstrations, thinking - out of ignorance on their part - that barring someone from speaking or putting someone in jail justifies rebellion! Did they not hear the Prophet’s statement found in the narration of ‘Awf bin Maalik Al-Ashja’ee (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) in Saheeh Muslim (1855): "...No, so long as they establish the prayer." And in the hadeeth of ‘Ubaadah bin As-Saamit (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) found in the two Saheeh Collections, the Prophet said: "...unless you see clear and open disbelief, by which you will have proof before Allaah in the matter." This was his (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) response to the Companions when they questioned him, seeking permission to fight against the oppressive leaders. Do they not know how long Imaam Ahmad remained locked up in prison? And where did Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah die?! Wasn’t Imaam Ahmad put in jail for several years and whipped because he would not say that the Qur’aan was created? So why then did he not order the people to revolt against the Khaleefah? Don’t they know that Shaikh-ul-Islaam stayed in prison for more than two years and died while in it? Why did he not command the people to revolt against the leader? And on top of this, these scholars had a high position in terms of virtue and knowledge, so what about those who are less than them??? Indeed these ideologies and actions did not come to us except after the youth began to take their knowledge from such and such modern-day thinker and from such and such literary poet and from such and such Islamic writer, abandoning the scholars and placing their books behind their backs to be forgotten! Wa laa hawla wa laa quwata ilaa billaah! [2] An authentic hadeeth reported by Ahmad, Ibn Maajah, At-Tirmidhee, Al-Haakim and many others [Abridged by the translator]. [3] Even if they commit a sin thinking it to be trivial (Istikhfaaf), they do not commit disbelief so long as they do not make it lawful (Istihlaal), contrary to what some of them say: That a person who commits a sin thinking it to be trivial, commits disbelief that takes him out from the Religion. This statement is the essence of the beliefs of the Khawaarij as our Shaikh, Shaikh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Ibn ‘Abdillaah Bin Baaz said when he was asked about it in Taa’if in 1415H. [4] Part of a long hadeeth reported by Ahmad, Muslim, Al-Bukhaaree and others from several of the Companions [Abridged by the translator] [5] Part of a long hadeeth reported by Ahmad, Muslim, Al-Bukhaaree and others [Abridged by the translator] [6] Nooniyyah of Ibn Al-Qayyim (pg. 97) [7] Al-Bukhaaree reported in his Saheeh (6930), Muslim in his Saheeh (1066), Ahmad in his Musnad (1/113), Ibn Abee ‘Aasim in his As-Sunnah (914) and ‘Abdullaah bin al-Imaam Ahmad in his As-Sunnah (1487): From ‘Alee (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) who said: "I heard Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) say: ‘Towards the last days, a people will emerge who will be young in age and have foolish ideas. They will speak with the best speech of the creatures. Their Eemaan will not go past their throats. So wherever you encounter them, kill them, for indeed there will be a reward for the one who kills them on the Day of Judgement.’" After narrating a hadeeth about the Khawaarij and their signs, Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudree (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) said: "Twenty or more than twenty of the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger narrated to me that ‘Alee was in charge of killing them." Reported by Ahmad in his Musnad (3/33) and his son ‘Abdullaah in As-Sunnah (1512).

And now for a brief haitus... ********** A wadaad/Xaakim in Puntland having sentenced a pirate to prison was proceeding to point out to him the disadvantages of the criminality of piracy and the profit of reformation and tawbah. "Yaa sheekh," said the pirate, interrupting, "would you be kind enough to alter my punishment to 5 years in the xabis and nothing else?" "Why," said the wadaad, surprised, "I have given you only two years!" "Yes, I know," acquiesced the pirate - "two years' imprisonment and all that preaching. If you please, I should like to commute the preaching." **************** AND STOP. As you were ladies and gents!
