Remember, Hitler became Chancellor right after the great depression and the fiscal horrors of the Weimer republic. If anything, it was only because of defeat that their economy disintegrated and the Marshall Plan was needed. Thanks Tillamook for saving me the work of explaining this.

If a big company makes big money, that means big taxes, and a bigger national budget. Ethiopia as a whole is moving forward - what you need to remember is that Ethiopia is not like Kenya, Nigeria, or other African countries where the elite take everything. Ethiopia's top business leaders give back a lot to the country. Just because Ethiopia's economy is statistically growing fast when compared to other already established economies means jack diddly. Their economic output is terribly low and any modest gain nationally appears to be ahead of the curve internationally. Nevertheless, what evidence do you have to back up your claim of the altruistic tendencies of the Ethiopian elite?

Nice and all, but what does the fact that the fat cats in Addis bought a shiny new toy do for the poor in the dusty corners of the country?

Talk about a rock and hard place...lol I personally believe Romney is Obamalite, only he'd be a better manager of the economy. The President's role in the overall economy is totally overplayed.

Meles presided over 20 years of politically stable Ethiopia the last 10 years witnessing a remarkable economic growth. For that he deserves plaudits. Yes, he was cruel autocrat who spared no mercy in repressing desent to stay in power and get his way. But lets not delude ourselves that the demise of Meles will usher in an era of peace and prosperity for Somalis. Somalia's problems transcend Meles. Hitler did wonders for the post WWI German economy, should we praise him as well?

Farah Maalin is nothing like the bloated floor mat Illey. Maalin actually has scruples, and speaks his mind even when it is contrary to what Kibaki was saying. Illey on the other hand is a man totally serving at the whims of his masters in Addis. I dare him to publicly contradict the highlanders, as publicly as Maalin did, on anything.

In your dreams mate Why do you curse so much? Cant you engage in a discussion without sounding like Young Jeezy track?

Yea he is, I used to go to masjid with him in the mid 90's in Chicago. Totally just kidding, but it would be funny if some hack Rethuglican blogger picked up on this thread and took my first sentence. They'd be saying, "its an open secret on Muslim majority forums that Obama is a Muslim", and tons of bigoted sheep would believe it.

This damn thing institutionalizes our utterly backward qabilism and for that I hate it. On the other hand I cant help but to mentally acquiesce to it given the fact that our clanish ways rule our collective lives as Somalis. I just wonder, will we ever move past our qabils and become an issues society?

They are a bunch of Macaalin dugsis who benefited from the wide support and trust of the Somali people (hence their early successes). They've lost that now and there is no strategy which can bring it back. Amisom maybe overstretched but they have the ability to replace their losses much more quickly than Shabab. Shabab also lacks mobile armour and Amisom has and they (Shabab) can't defeat it (you need anti-tank weapons to defeat the T72s, not RPGs). I see the hardcore Shabab elements turning into hit and run insurgency but I doubt rural Somalis would be willing to support them. I see some kind of deal happening with a very much thinned Shabab outfit. Apophis said it all. Abdi the days of the beardos are numbered and they aren't capable of the master plans you attribute to them.

Apophis;861170 wrote: I guess the elementary advise of "don't judge a book by its cover" and "don't be naive" were never taught in your school. Look if someone said to you that they are in Al-Shabab not only would you judge them (and rightly so) but you would go on to condemn the whole of the Somali community, as you have done so in this very thread. This woman, is a member of an extremist party. Her membership is not something as superficial as the cover of a book, rather it is demonstrative of the affirmative steps she has taken to align herself with neo-nazis. She is nothing more than the lawn jockey of this racist party and for that, yes I will judge her. And your cliched cliche of "Don't judge a book by its cover" is moot here.

This discussion is a complete waste of all of your time, mark my words, this new government will fail, I promise this. This new governmental scheme is flawed at the core because of the qabilist essence of everything here. Maybe Turkey should take over and isticmaar Somalia for a little while and get things in order.

Nin-Yaaban what is your infatuation with Somali criminals? Look we have disgusting sub-human scum amongst our far flung populace, this aint nothing new. Hell look at what we've done to ourselves in Somalia.. But what is the purpose of this thread, other than giving cannon fodder for skinhead types out there.

While any rational person should condemn this attack, I have to disagree with the correlation you have made here. In ND's assault, the attack was politically motivated, whereas the type of anti-female violence you describe is motivated by sexual predation.

Chimerra, I really think your hypothesis has feet. My father and his brothers did not experience MPB until they were in their 50's. I also think that the "edge-up" haircuts young Somali men have been getting at least here in the US has an impact on hairline as well.
