    ^ If that was a metaphor, I wonder what your bad metaphors are like. LOOOOL.

     

    Somalis have been sailing and fishing for well over a hundred years. Rowing is no different.

     

    As to my personality. I think I should follow your formula, in which whenever I am wrong I turn the tables and criticize others as to save face.

    ^ Ethiopia is leaving. The TFG does control most of the country. However many of it's police force and soldiers are being trained. They are being turned from Moryaans to Police MEN. While at the same time the AU forces are not here to cause havoc or 'occupy' as would be the words of Qaadisiya. They are here to be police and troop trainers and to assist us in as many security endeavours as they can while the thousands of troops are being trained in Daynuunaay, Manas, Beledweyne, Balidogole etc

    ^ I am not talking about the AU here buddy. The Somali Government Controls most of South Central and Northern Somali save ofcourse the North West.

     

    Since 1991 that has not happened. A government is established and there are steps that indicate the governments growing prescence in terms of Security (Police Stations and Jails opening, well over 10 000 troops/police officers being trained or on the ground).

     

    This alone is 'reason to believe' that a successful somalia rebirth is around the corner.

     

    Add to that the fact the TFG is holding a reconciliation meeting to air out grievances and upwards of 3000 of Somali leaders, clan figures, educated spokespeople and religious and learned men will be attending.

     

    But you probably believe that this government won't stand till thursday. So there is no point in preaching to the already converted.

    ^ Thats the opinion of one man. Majority of the international community support the government and many say 'that this is the best chance for peace in 16 years'. But you selectively believe what you want and paint the story of how you like.

     

     

    BTW when the ICU money goes dry and they can't afford to pay these kids anymore they will either meet their fate or surrender.

     

    MOGADISHU (Reuters) - A wave of pre-dawn mortar attacks pounded Mogadishu and killed at least 16 people on Tuesday in one of the most brutal bombardments since an Islamist movement was forced out of the Somali capital last month.

    The hilltop presidential palace, Villa Somalia, and the coastal city's defense headquarters were among the targets hit in attacks that struck many quarters of Mogadishu and sent hundreds of residents fleeing to outlying towns.

    "They showered us with rockets and a mortar also hit the compound. Luckily no one was hurt," said a government soldier who was in Villa Somalia during the attack but declined to be named for fear of reprisal.

    "Our troops and those from our ally Ethiopia were forced to fire heavy artillery," he told Reuters. "We had to retaliate. These elements are being paid to cause all this destruction."

    A spate of near-daily attacks have challenged the government's effort to impose security on the city recaptured in December by government forces and their Ethiopian allies from Islamists who controlled it for six months.

    The death toll climbed throughout the day on Tuesday as more reports came in from across the chaotic capital, with witnesses and officials putting the total at 16 -- all of them civilians.

     

    Deputy Defense Minister Salad Ali Jelle accused Islamist remnants of paying the gunmen in the impoverished city where jobs are scarce and being a hired gun has long been one of the steadiest sources of employment for young men.

    "The insurgents are paying $100 a day to whoever fires rockets and mortars at the government and people," he said.

    Aden Hashi Ceyrow by some reports extremely injured. General Galaal who was leading some men in the Jubbas now waving at AU troops. The leadership of the ICU is a headless chicken right about now. Only a few hundred confused and paid off fighters remain. Inshallah they shall be given an ultimatum. Death or Peace or Exile like Indhacadde and Abu Mansuur and Cadoow etc.
