Well Siad bare was in very big trouble begin 1990 hence why he was writing letters to Mengistu, Somalia where do you stand in all of this since you are a big Kulmis supporter and opposed to the former govt. Mr mengistu was in trouble him self he lost the big port city of Massawa when the EPLF captured Massawa in 1990 there is little he could do at that time.

Anigu wali waxan laa yaabanahay ninkan weyn eeh sharubaha leh eh leh kacdoonki slaamo iyo odayaal ba dawladi riday ma dawladi inta llekeyd bay slaamo wax shidayaan rideen. Ciidanki somalia runti wuxu ku jabay dagalaadi ka dhacay somaliland in the late 80 dagaalkaas ayana bubur u noqday ciidamadi somaliya xiligaas. Siad bare in 1990 march aad bu cadhaysna wuxu warqad cadho u diray mengistu haile maryam oou ku leeyahay wali waad tageerta snm oo heshiiski waad jabisay. Mengistu wuxu yidhi walay iga tahay ma tageero.

^^ The Sheikh spoke well.

^^ Actually 23 January in 1991 the last strong hold of the SNA fell berbera that's 3 days before Siyad bare was ousted. But when Caydiid broke the back of the SNA in the middle regions in the 1990s that's when the logistics and Mogadishu was cut of from the middle regions. You also know that there was mass defections from 1989 till 1991 the Somali army was broken with in, this happened also with the formation of the SPM, the Somali patriotic movement led by Ina Omar jees many tribesmen part of the SNA defected to the SPM this was also a Major Blow to the SNA and the Government of General Siad bare.

This is an attack on a whole region and entire Somali Communities every region or community has warlords bad People ma umad wada wanaagsan ba jira?

They should atleast fight for Autonomy that's the best thing they can do and drop the secession claim after being pressured

Somalia: Police recovers another Alshabab assassination plot Hiiraan Online Saturday, April 07, 2012 (HOL) - After three days of Mogadishu Theatre attack another Alshabab assassination plot is recovered by the Somali police. Alshabab planned to eliminate Somalia’s commander of military forces Gen. Abdikarim Yusuf Aden using a jacket packed with explosives. “They contacted me offering to hire me for this plot with $20,000, I informed the General, then we proceeded to probe this case” his driver Khalif Ali Nur told the VOA. Police arrested the mastermind recovering a jacket packed with explosives. Gen. Abdikarim known as “Dhego badan” told reporters that he knew this assassination plot from the beginning which was intended to kill him. “They were trying to kill me, we discovered their plans from the beginning”said the army official. Abdirahman Ali Antoob is the suspected mastermind and claims to be Alshabab contractor for such operations. Last Wednesday Somalia’s prime minister escaped an assassination attempt which claimed the lives of ten people including two top sports officials. TFG and it’s allied forces pushed out Alshabab from many areas including Mogadishu, but the group claims responsibility of the deadly suicide attacks in the country.

Iran can make nuclear weapons - but won't, says top politician Statement is first time an Iranian politician has admitted country has capability to produce nuclear arms guardian.co.uk, Saturday 7 April 2012 14.16 BST Article history Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (right), tours a research reactor centre in Tehran. Photograph: AP Iran has the technological capability to produce nuclear weapons but will never do so, a prominent politician in the Islamic republic has said. The statement by Gholamreza Mesbahi Moghadam is the first time an Iranian politician has publicly stated that the country has the knowledge and skills to produce a nuclear weapon. Moghadam, whose views do not represent the government's policy, said Iran could easily create the highly enriched uranium that is used to build atomic bombs, but it was not Tehran's policy to go down that route. "Iran has the scientific and technological capability to produce (a) nuclear weapon, but will never choose this path," Moghadam told the parliament's news website, icana.ir. The US and its allies believe Iran is using its civilian nuclear programme as a cover to develop nuclear weapons; a charge it denies. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has repeatedly insisted that his country is not seeking nuclear weapons, saying that holding such arms is a sin and "useless, harmful and dangerous". President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that if Iran one day decides to build nuclear weapons, it will do so openly and without fear. Iran says it is enriching uranium to about 3.5% to produce nuclear fuel for its future reactors, and to around 20% to fuel a research reactor that produces medical isotopes to treat cancer. Uranium has to be enriched to more than 90% to be used for a nuclear weapon. The UN nuclear agency has confirmed that centrifuges at the Fordo site near Iran's holy city of Qom are producing uranium enriched to 20%. It says uranium enriched to that level can more quickly be turned into weapons-grade material. "There is a possibility for Iran to easily achieve more than 90% enrichment," icana.ir quoted Moghadam as saying.

Found: A Somalia we do not know Friday, 06 April 2012 02:41 somaliland Together as oneDAVID L SMITH Getting Somalia Wrong: Faith, War and Hope in a Shattered State by Mary Harper (Zed Books in association with the Royal African Society, the International African Institute and the Social Science Research Council) 'State failure does not mean country failure." These are the words of Mary Harper, who believes that Somalia is a failed state but argues eloquently that it is not a failed country. The reality is that the Somalia most of us know is a place of lawlessness, terrorists, pirates, kidnapping and ransom payments. But in Getting Somalia Wrong Harper does what few others do -- she delves deep beneath the surface of the usual stories and presents us with a complex picture of a country that can make sense only if there is some understanding of its history. I have read books about countries in Africa by people who have not done much more than fly through the airspace of the place they are writing about. The content usually matches the effort made to gather the information. But Harper has travelled around the Horn of Africa for decades, much of the time in her capacity as a BBC correspondent. When she says that foreign inter¬vention is part of the problem in Somalia, she says it with considerable gravitas. Unwelcome presences Harper thinks that the transitional federal government is part of what is wrong with Somalia -- a government elected by nobody and paid for and placed in Mogadishu by foreigners. The presence in Somalia of armies from at least four foreign countries -- Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Burundi -- is another element of what is wrong. Uganda and Burundi are part of an African Union peacekeeping force -- a force, Harper argues, that does little more than prevent the government from being slaughtered. Kenya says its troops are there to hunt down kidnappers and Ethiopia, well, Ethiopian soldiers seem to be somewhere in Somalia most of the time. Efforts by the international community to fix Somalia from a distance also fit into her category of what is wrong. Conferences held in foreign capitals, the most recent in London earlier this year, to which some of the main protagonists are not even invited, inevitably lead nowhere. Getting Somalia Wrong moves to the top of my list of well-written books about Somalia because of how it highlights what works. Somalia is really three countries. It is south-central, the old Italian Somaliland with the capital Mogadishu and a great deal of ¬foreign intervention. It is the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, an area straddling the Horn of Africa where most pirate activity takes place. And it is Somaliland, the former British colony. Somaliland is the part that works: it has a democratically elected government and a developing infrastructure and ¬generally it tends to get on with things without international recognition and with little support from the outside world. Surprising optimism "Somalis can be very good at doing things for themselves," writes Harper. Many of the innovative things she mentions have evolved because of the absence of an effective central government. Somalia is perhaps the world's best example of a free-market economy. There is almost no government bureaucracy to prevent people with ideas from going ahead and putting them into practice. The book is full of anecdotes that would give the most committed Afro-pessimist pause for thought -- Somalis have among the continent's best cellphone communications systems, they have perhaps the world's most efficient money transfer system (based on trust), Somalia exports more livestock than most other countries in Africa and Somalis have a better record of bringing peace and stability to the places they govern than those who attempt to impose it from outside. For example, the only period of relative calm that south-central Somalia has known since Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991 was during the six months in 2006 when the Union of Islamic Courts was in charge. But the Ethiopian army, with United States support, removed it from power. Ironically, the current head of the transitional government is one of the people removed by the Ethiopians at that time. Getting Somalia Wrong is not just an opposing view to the usual horror stories we hear about Somalia -- Harper covers the good, the bad and the ugly. What makes this book different and important is that the author does not see her subject as one-dimensional. It is a book that attempts, successfully, in my view, to explain a country by getting to know the people who live in it. The next time you hear about Somali shops being burnt in Khaye¬litsha or on the East Rand and you wonder why they bother staying, Harper's book will help you to ¬understand where those nameless and faceless people come from and why they left their homeland in the first place. David L Smith of Okapi Consulting in Johannesburg has an interest in things Somali, including launching a radio service in 2010 with the aim of providing a virtual round table for Somalis of all persuasions to discuss the challenges of their country
