^ Calling somebody President or not makes little difference of authority. In Canada the heads of provinces were called Prime Ministers, and at the same time the Prime minister aka the head of government was also PM. But I guess Canada was really f'ed up eh? Calling him Governor or President means little to nothhing on the ground. Calling the head of Jubbaland or the breakaway region in the north west leaders president means little to no difference on the ground.

^ They just needed certification from the Security Council and as you can see they approved the mission today. AU MISSION to SOMALIA AMISOM

^ Calling him President Cadde muuse and or governor means little to nothing in terms of real authority on the grounds. The President of Jubaland or President of Midland or whatever doesn't have the same authority as the president of the nation. Secondly, you are mistquoting the DUKE on his words. It is alleged that Indhacadde and Co dealt drugs, however it is true that Indhacadde and Co. occupied houses in the lower shabelle.

^ The old man has been living for many years mashallah. But if his time comes it comes by the will of ALLAH SWT. However like the old man has said on numerous occasions " my government will survive with or without me" to paraphrase him. right now Xamar has only a couple thousand police. When the full batch of police are trained well in access of 10 thousand men for Xamar and southern Somalia as a whole then inshallah you shall see 'the top secret stuff'.

Security Council Somalia meeting Security Council Somalia meeting Security Council Somalia meeting Security Council Somalia meeting Security Council Somalia meeting

By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council authorized an African Union peacekeeping mission for Somalia for six months on Tuesday as mortar attacks pounded the capital and the northeast African country spiraled further into chaos. The resolution, adopted unanimously by the 15-member body, gave African Union troops the go-ahead to take military action if needed to provide government, infrastructure and humanitarian security, and to train Somali security forces. The council also asked Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to investigate a possible U.N. peacekeeping operation after the African Union deployment and to report back within 60 days with recommendations for further U.N. involvement in Somalia. "The deployment of the African Union is a start," South Africa's U.N. Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo told the council. "We hope this signals the international community, through the Security Council, will also in the coming months be able to deploy to help the Somali people help rebuild their country." Over Christmas and New Year, Somali forces backed by Ethiopia's military routed Islamist troops in a two-week war in the country, which has been in chaos since 1991 when it became a patchwork of feuding warlords after a dictator was ousted. But frequent attacks blamed on ousted Islamist hard-liners have put pressure on the interim government, which is trying to restore stability so that Ethiopian troops can return home. A wave of pre-dawn mortar attacks killed at least 16 people in the capital Mogadishu on Tuesday in one of the most brutal bombardments since the Islamists were forced out of the city. SHORTFALL IN TROOP PLEDGES In the British-drafted resolution, the Security Council condemned "all acts of violence and extremism inside Somalia, deploring the recent bombings in Mogadishu and expressing its concern regarding the continued violence inside Somalia." The council on Feb. 2 welcomed an African Union offer to send peacekeepers to Somalia and urged it to do so quickly after Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said he wanted to withdraw his thousands of troops. African Union Peace and Security Commissioner Said Djinnit said last week that Uganda, Nigeria, Burundi, Malawi and Ghana had offered to send soldiers. But only about 4,000 of the 8,000 troops called for have so far been pledged. "But the international community can only help the emerging peace process in Somalia," Britain's U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry told the Security Council. "Sustainable peace and development will depend ultimately on the Somalis themselves." The council also in part lifted a 1992 arms embargo but said the import of weapons was to be used only for the African Union force. Outside experts hired by the Security Council reported last year that Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Syria had provided illegal weapons to the Islamists, while Ethiopia, Uganda and Yemen helped supply the interim government. The Security Council resolution reiterated its intention "to consider taking measures against those who seek to prevent or block a peaceful political process, threaten the transitional federal institutions by force or take action that undermines stability in Somalia or the region." Since their defeat, the Islamists, who had held Mogadishu for six months, have scattered to southern Somalia and Kenya, some vowing a long guerrilla war against the government.

Are you adeero supporter to the heart? yes. Can you bend over for Melez? yes, how well? oh really good. ^That is the interview for the job. You are hired.. you see it's not that hard to get a job at the TFG at all. Go Duke. You fully qualify for that job, since you cover all of it requirments. Now, open your head, and listen very carefully. NO wants to be 'govern' by Melez bend overs, its' a puppet government. Therefore, I think Abdullahi Yusuf should just run his Pland, that was a good place for him. Where he got support from the people there. Geedi, should just go back his labartory and treat animals or whatever he was doing beforehand. Ina Caydiid, Yalaxow, Qanyare, well those would be somewhere unknown by now, chased away by the poeple, eachweek we would be enjoying as Amir Aamir draws them stranded somewhere, in his weekly cartoon draws. Funny you talk about Amin Amir. Remember Amin amirs picture from awhile back?

Buddy, you support this government, right? You'd like it to survive and eventually become the only legitimate power in future Somalia, right? Why not babysit this government in your region until Mogadishu is more receptive to it? They'll be less resistance there, less human suffering. It's not written in stone that Mogadishu be the capital of Somalia. So this insistance that the government must be in Mogadishu is anachronistic thinking at it's best. You don't support this government and now you're telling it what it should do? Are you related to Indhacadde to hustler/pusher of the ICU? The governmment has two years. Waiting for the ICU to come back is not going to happen. The government took two years to get to Xamar and you expect them to leave when a couple of fools throw mortars aimlessly? What country in the world would fall for such illogical reasoning?

Originally posted by Socod_badne: quote:Originally posted by Taako Man: ^ The welfare of mogadishu residents is being harmed by 'mujahideen of the two migrations' or whatever they call themselves. All the more reasons to move the government. Doing so will take away from these "mujahideens" their excuse. So long as there are Ethiopian/AU troops in Mogadishu, these agitators can cite that as their excuse for waging insurgency. Any government worth it's salt must put the welfare it's people above everything. Since it's arrival in Mogadishu, every objective paramater indicating the well being of the city have markedly declined. If moving the government out of Mogadishu will lessen the suffering the city's inhabitants, we have good reasons and evidence to believe it will, it should be done without hesitation. So the government leaves just so the same clan courts can get a second chance at there crazy ways? ARE YOU SERIOUS SAXIIB? If these guys cared about the citizens then they should target the government and ethiopian troops. But they aimlessly target the average Abdi & Halimo. Do you think the average Abdi and Halimo would support there houses being bombed children killed because they were aimlessly targeted by such fools?

Originally posted by Jimcaale: Jimbo? I beg you pardon. TFG needs all the help they can get but can they put it into good use? More cash for Bubaa, more palaces for Geedi and plenty support for Ina Yusuf's empty promises to the warlord government and the helpless elders of Mogdisho. Surely you know that ministers in the TFG are paid minimum wage like numbers in the west. Estonia if willing to help build sound IT infrastructure is/and would be greatly appreciate for their helping hand jimbo.

^ The welfare of mogadishu residents is being harmed by 'mujahideen of the two migrations' or whatever they call themselves. Aimlessly throwing mortars at civilians is what they are doing. Soon the population who even support them will realise what and how sick these fools are.

Jimbo If the newly inducted EU member and small nation state offers diplomatic support surely they have more diplomatic muscle then Djibouti or even the mighty ERITREA?

Me So 1.0 is better then 4.5? LOOOOL.

Me All you are doing is talking and talking and talking. Who is going to defeat the legitimate government of Somalia? The clan courts? yeah right. There is a reason why Sheik shariif is in Yemen and indhacadde is M.I.A. upwards of 10 thousand soldiers are bieng trained. Somali soldiers I may add. Nothing of this magnitude has happened in almost 2 decades. Face the facts chap. You're the one dreaming.

^ Duke has predicted one thing. The TFG will be in Xamar. So now its about it full function. AU peace keepers including Uganda are all but on the ground is just about when will they come not if.

There are thousands of troops/police being trained all over Somalia, 3000 alone in Hiraan. Within a short while they shall be on the ground and inshallah they shall succeed.

Roughly 20 million US dollars in assistance in total and diplomatic support to boot is hardly something to ignore. Sweden in doing a good job.

Christian Tigrey Eritrea, Upstanding Muslim rights award winner Egypt, Mujahideen Djibouti, and the Muslim government of the world Saudi Arabia.

^ Such clannish sentiments Allamagan. But am I really suprised? A guy with the name Allamagan should definetely hold such sadistic views

^ Thanks for the response saxiib. Labada belood waa reer waqooyi galbeed iyo laba mataan who are joint at the waist like simese twins, and I was wondering why they were fighting? I know of this kind of nonsense happens all the time. All over somali lands. In Galkayo members from the same sub sub clan fight amongst each other. In Galgaduud the same and in Hiraan and even recently in shabelle dheexe region. Inshallah they shall stop this ASAP. I know the clan elders are somewhere but where exactly is the problem.

Radamiir Stop arguing saxiib. The facts on the ground are different from people Yapping on Sol.

LOOOOL.

Person's deeds? :confused: I could write blasphemous stuff about islam and still be neutral or Pro-islam? That is illogical.

^ So showing somebody in a bad light is Pro-TFG? LOOOOOOOL look at your logic missy.

^ Why does every topic turn into Uncle this Uncle that? If in fact 70 people have died in a matter of a week or so. That is Xamar-like numbers. Xamar is a town of 1.5+ million and by some estimates 2.5 million people. Daroor is a Small town in Somali galbeed. This kind of stuff should not be happening. Where are the clan elders?
