^^^He was there in the former, pro Arab TNG..

Abu Geeljire, did IndaCade not invite these groups, did they not make tapes in praise of these grous? He has more info than you, why should any wanted man fleeing his own country hide in our own? The Oromo, Eritreans, Arabs and others who wanted to hide in Somalia only compunded ur problems, they wanted to hide in this no mans land... Will the land has a governemnt and we do not want these rogue groups.. Unlike you, and many of the fake groups in Somalia, saxib Yusuf fought for his country twice and bravely and is a decorated war hero. He was the founding father of Puntland and his term was extended, he defended the unity of the state and made peace with our current state President Cade Muse. Thus neither the secesionists nor the USC/Clan courts could take out the flame that is now called Punntland thanks to him and many others...

^^^You are getting desperate, the idea that Yusuf is a warlord ior even this tag has come from the days of Arta and his opposiion to it. Yusuf was never a warlord, had the support of his region, state and clans, thus he was elected to lead Puntland, was elected in Nairobi and has a good relation with Kenya, Yemen and Ethiopia.. Saxib if one googles images, Somali President guess who is highlighted PS: Here is your government in full...source The BBC, which gets its sources from Yusuf Garad and others in the Somali section have described him as this, upon his election... profile. The new leader is Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, 70, a military strongman and president of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland. The challenges facing his new government are enormous. The United Nations has estimated that billions of dollars will be needed to rebuild Somalia in the long term. He starts with almost nothing.

They are thinking about is the beggining, Yemen has already put into place its envoy and is setting up shop, Sudan has already promised and may Igad countries like Kenya, Ethiopia have named their ambassadors. Its progress, though you will play it down as is your nature.

^^^Is it now, I know you have yet to comprehend the reality of the situation, 15 regions are unde the TFG, thats a big change..

Mujahid-SNM, the mortars have no direction system built, you have to be close to the target you are firing in. These morons just throw the weapons and hope for the best. As they rushed children to attack Baidoa and hoped for the best. Thus schools, hospitals and population areas will be hit because its blind shooting.

^^^Deerow was a close ally of the President and an enemy of IndaCade and his group a fact. The suicide attack injured the president and killed his younger brother Abdisalaam Yusuf Ahmed, a fact. The Clan courts occupied the lower shabbele in every single state they had their men as "governors, mayors" fact. They started this war and made daily threatsa against everyone, a fact. The cowards sent children to die in battle while they ran for safety in the lower Shabbele, a fact. They know claim responsability for mortar attcaks, which have killed Mogadishu civilians, a fact. They hid in the bushes of Ras -Kamboni and between the Nomads of that region, another fact.

I dont know about your leader buy Yusuf is no warlord, he is a national leader and the`one who hs delivered fruits so far. Unlike many fakers he is a`man of principle..

Xoogsade, the man is not a minister of the TFG but Ambasador to the Arab League, he held this position if I am not mistaken through the time of the Arta TNG and beyond.. Thus putting the blame on the TFG is not really as clever as you thought.

^^^I am a unionist, thus to me Somaliland is part of Somalia.. Not being biased thats my position..

^^^In terms of trade alone, with peace comes investment and the ability to built a viable economic system in the horn. A`stable region will mean, that invetsment diverted from millitary and security and into important areas such as regional infrustructure and gaining foreign direct investment for joint national projects. Ethiopia population strength can be complemented by Somalia, Djibouti's ports giving accesses to the oceans and seas. A stable and peaceful Somalia will enhance further the economic prospects of the Somali' in Nairobi, and Adis and our sister nation of Djibouti. We are an important state within the Horn, tapping into our natural resources and giving our bright people a chance to do business with our neighbours and the world.. Give peace a chance..

^^^I get your anger brother, hence this, not so amusing and pointless thread.. Should we start comparing the looks of leaders now, how should they look?

^^^Indeed you have a point there, this despot thought he could keep Somalia as it was. However I enjoyed this bit .. in a letter addressed to the Ethiopian Government of Meles Zenawi, he proposed a confederation of Djibouti and Ethiopia, to the surprise and chagrin of the Djiboutian public. His proposed merger “and intention to seek an economic and political federation with Ethiopia” This smacks of hypocracy considering that many clan courts supporters see Djibouti as their real ally, driven by Somalinimo and Islam..

Camir hit nail on the head. This professor needs to stick to his job and teach, if he wants to enter politics, by all means come and take part, but kindly stop pretending to be the panacea to all problems Somali. He is a well known supporter of Arta, which was “Somalis are told ‘you’re clans, not citizens’,” Give it up sir, you are no expert on Somalia, and the US admin does not know you or your brother..

^^^Long may their support remain.

^^^Simple really they [Clan Courts & Djibouti] invented the clan 4.5 , system and now decry it. They pretended to be a religious movement yet "conquored" other Muslim defenceless peoples lands. They lost and now send mortars into civilian areas. However the remaining criminal groups and cells will be dealt a huge blow soon insha Allah.. They are dealing with a no nonsence government that has teeth

U.S. considers diplomatic presence in Somalia The United States said on Thursday that it is considering reestablishing diplomatic presence in Somalia after a break of 16 years. "We're going to take a look, obviously, at what is appropriate, in terms of security, in terms of political presence, in terms of diplomatic presence in Somalia," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said at a briefing. "There aren't any final decisions in that regard. It's something that's being actively examined right now," McCormack said. McCormack said the U.S. embassy in Kenya is now in charge of U. S. mission in Somalia. The United Sates withdrew its diplomats from Somalia in 1991 following the anarchy after Somalia's strongman Mohammed Siad Barre was toppled. The United States has voiced support for Ethiopia's recent military intervention in Somalia that led to the ouster of the Islamic Courts and the control of Mogadishu by Somalia's interim government.

^^^Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti will benefit from a stable Somalia, the region as a whole would benefit from a stable and thriving Somalia. However the NGO's would lose their jobs as caretakers of Somalia to the national government.

Of course it will take time for real reconstruction to begin, but like you said, the TFG needs to consolidate power, and build up the security forces ASAP..

They are now blaming others for the failure of their "resistance" some here were not long ago, claping at the death of a Somali police officer, murdered for doing hid job. They celebrated every failed mortar, and bomb attack and now blame others when the deaths of the civilians increase. everyone can see through it..

^^^I must commend you on this one, you have rattled the brother..

He thinks highly of himself. Those who can do, those who can't teach Stick to the day job Samatar..
