Abdullahi yusuf is but one man. You guys give him so much credit that he must have a high credit score. This government is more the Abdullahi Yusuf and PM Geedi and FM Buuba and Speaker of the Parliament Adan Madoowe. As you can see these men compromise different sections of Somalia. Whether it be Puntland Yusuf, Xamar Geedi, Somaliland Buuba, or Bay/Bakool Madoobe. I can't say the same about Somaliland or the ICU which had the Security Minister, The Head of the ICU, Head of its military wing all from the Same sub sub clan. Would it be fair to accuse sister Rahima of supporting the ICU because of her 'adeers' Cadoow, Cagoweyne, Tooji, Abshir Bacadle? No.

^ Supposedly the first of its kind in Gololey. The great thing about it is that this project was an ongoing one from the diaspora, namely from Britian.

^ TFG ministers including the President and Prime minister earn less then you could make if you worked in a 9-5 telemarketing job. Do not exaggerate their wages for your own spin.

^ LOOOOOL at 50 000 ethiopian troops. If it wasn't the exaggeration bug biting our onkodiites. At most their are 8 thousand ethiopian troops left in Somalia. The TFG has recruited half that from Hiraan and Galgaduud and Mudug regions already. 8000 peacekeepers are to train the TFG troops. Provide them with logistical support and eventually will leave my friend. They are only temporary solution. Somalia's rebirth is a final solution inshallah.

The peace our families had was destroyed so that A/Y could be in town. He stuck to his plan of invading Muqdisho with the help of Ethiopians. The guy refused to visit Muqdisho after 2004 even though reer Muqdisho demonstrated in the streets defying the other warlords on his behalf and the TFG he headed. I myself wanted A/Y to be in town so bad that I posted somebody should kidnap him and take him to muqdisho so people could rally around him and fight for his beleagered and broken organization. When ICU liberated Muqdisho and brought the needed changes the TFG failed to deliver, the hard won peace was buried and now people's life is once again full of violence and fear, the basic necessities cost twice as much, and the future looks dark given what A/Y and his hellish crew of warlords are saying. With the all bandits from other clans and their drug addicts coming to Muqdisho, what we expect is more violence, more robbery and more bloodshed. You got what you cried for time and again on SOL, muqdisho bombed to submission and A/Y warlording over a violent city where people are murdered for the mere accusation of having supported a movement they found delivering justice and safety for them. They murdered in cold blood two men who were teaing and minding their business last week in Bakaaraha simply because they hailed from Hasan Turki's clan . It is alleged in muqdisho that the TFG clan militias aligned with the defeated warlords are taking revenge on innocent somalis as they please while dressed in Xabashi uniforms. ^ You wanted abdullahi yusuf to be your hostage right? Listen buddy you paint a horrible picture of the TFG and that of the ICU being angels. When did the highlighted incidence happen? Where is the media? Do you remember when the ICU murdered those 5 men from Gedo and that one Djib airlines rep from Puntland. Those were documented. Yours is hearsay. But I guess the ICU are perfect huh? Can't make no mistakes. The TFG is the anti-christ and the ICU is Jesus or something?

If I opened a Shariif hassan looks like such and such a thread. I would be edited in a flash. Practice what you preach.

Burundi Proposes Offering Troops for Somalia, Uganda Parliament Stalls By Cathy Majtenyi Nairobi 01 February 2007 Burundi has agreed to offer troops for the African Union peacekeeping initiative in Somalia . Meanwhile, Uganda's parliament is brushing aside attempts by the ruling party to push through a motion to send Ugandan troops to Somalia. Cathy Majtenyi reports for VOA from Nairobi. Burundi's Minister of Foreign Affairs Antoinette Batumubwira tells VOA that the proposal to send 1,000 troops to Somalia needs to be approved by Burundi's parliament and senate. She explains the reasons behind the proposal. "The African Union has asked to any country that could contribute troops that it could do so," said Batumubwira. "We have a battalion that is ready, that is trained for this kind of mission. We have been helped also when we had difficulties so we would like to also contribute to peacekeeping on the continent." The foreign minister was referring to troops that were brought into Burundi as part of a peace process to end to more than a decade of civil war. Meanwhile, in Uganda, the ruling party's efforts to push through a motion in parliament to debate the issue of Ugandan peacekeepers was voted down Wednesday, primarily because most opposition MPs had walked out of the house earlier to protest another issue. The lawmakers had argued that it would be improper for the house to discuss the issue with so many opposition members absent. The ruling National Resistance Movement last month approved a plan to send a contingent of Ugandan peacekeeping troops into Somalia. At the time, the party's director of information, Ofwono Opondo, told VOA that "the deployment is as good as done," largely because the National Resistance Movement's caucus constitutes more than two-thirds of the members of parliament. But some Ugandan lawmakers are doubtful about the proposal. Member of Parliament for Gulu Betty Aol Ocan explains. "We still have problems also here, and we do not know the terms of these people [peacekeepers]. We do not know whether they are going as peacekeepers, or they are going as fighters, because right now there is still fighting in Somalia. So, there is a lot of mixed feelings there - we are not very sure," said Ocan. The African Union has approved a plan to send 8,000 African peacekeepers into Somalia as part of efforts to stabilize the country, particularly after the ouster of the Islamic Courts Union. During its summit earlier this week, African Union officials were pushing African countries to contribute troops to the mission. Several countries had indicated that they were thinking of doing so. Since civil war broke out in 1991, militias loyal to clan and sub-clan-based factions have controlled different parts of the country, with no central authority to provide law and order and even basic services to the population. A transitional Somali parliament was formed in Kenya more than two years ago following a peace process.

The ruling party who has a majority in Parliament automatically can pass this in parliament. You also reminded me burundi is coming Manshallah.

Besides that is not even the point. FYI Casab and Massaw are the ports that serve Eritrea. Trying to act wise I see. You said that Meles said Asmara was a port city. You looked it up on a map and realised that your scare tactice that Meles was going for 'Somali Ports' just like Onkod, Shabelle, Qaadisiyia of the world, was totally wrong. A third grader could tell you Asseb was the major port town of Eritrea. Next time get the port right ahemmmmmmm I meanstory right.

Great news. The TFG had 10 thousand troops last I remember. Now they must have much more then that. Progress is great. Keep us updated brother.

^ He probably speaks both well. But in Many countries they speak back and forth in to different languages. For instance in Canada they speak French and English back and forth and have translators in the house.

Great news

^ Foreigners were fighting alongside the ICU. Eri's who happen to be Gaal were with the ICU. Your enemy can fight with Gaalo but not you? That is flawed logic. The TFG with the help of neighbouring states who happened to block their borders and provide military assistance came out on top. That is the facts on the ground today. Warlords by definition are military leaders who control a section of land without any governance. That means ex NSS col. of Somaliland is a warlord, Cadde Muuse is a warlord, Dahir aweys who was a prison warden and who had some sort of military title was a warlord. So what is left then? A bunch of ad-hoc arm chair analyst in the diaspora who are in the diaspora writing 15 page essays on why Somalia is so F-ed up, but, don't have a solution which can be applied practically. As to your point about getting killed. Why don't you put on the commando suit and go with some other member who says he will fight with his 'tribe' against the Infidels huh?

^ Shabellaha hoose includes somali bantus if you didn't know. They live in places like Afgoye. All the unarmed clans have suffered for the duration of the civil war worse then maruading nomads who get in clashes and get out just as fast.

^ What lot are you talking about? This government was never given a chance by people like you. For whatever reason you believe that their should be a resignation of all figures in the TFI and have fifteen or so of these mischievous figures with the title of 'Sheik' takeover. Is that realistic? Be realistic with your self.

^ The people of Shabelleha hoose haven't had any weapons to defend themselves for the last 16 years. They were truly unarmed and sitting ducks for somali nomads to take advantage of them.

^ Why don't we give Zenawi the credit for the 10% GDP climb of China eh? Zenawi is one man. You guys give him so much credit that I think he's swimming in his own ego.

^ Let me play devils advocate for a second. According to some here Geedi is Zenawis favourite puppet right? So a candidate Geedi favoured would be more of an Ethiopian puppet going by your logic and would be guranteed the Speaker seat right? But I guess Geedi has fallen from the Ethiopian graces and Abdullahi is now on cloud nine riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
