^^^How accurate is this story?

Alone I struggle forever the warrior Son of Aadam Will never be Sad or truly happy.

^^^A great ambition, I hope Allah fulfills it.

Wel put, Puntland came about due to its people, the idea it will go away because some outside it dont like it is absurd. Its for the other states to get their acts together, if it based on clan, regional identity or they get along, just do it.

^^They need to let this old man be.

Horn, no not at all, the model that I would prefer is that of Singapore, with talented workforce thats all. The priority is as Taako said, an educated healthy workforce.

^^^Captain Xalane, how are you doing soldier? As for the news, Libya, South Afric, Mozamique are considering, Nigeria, Malawi and Uganda are on board. Things are moving smoothly.

^^^Indeed, I guess they have already questioned Adaan. Note one thing nothing has changed from the Americans, they want to talk to him but their course is still the same as before. They are funding the AU deployment, and bombing the hell out of the remainder in the south.

Somali thinker, Bossaso is already a trade hub for Puntland and Somalia in general. However with oil and NG, exports many avenues could be opened. If we get the money, I would like the state to concentrate on human development, capacity of the individual as well as the workforce, as well as infrustructure roads, ports, urban planning and so on. Singapore should be the model for Puntland.

^^^Why the difference in treatment between these two and Sharif Ahmed?

Dawladda Soomaaliya oo ballanqaadyo hor leh ka heshay dalalka Afrika Iyadoo uu madaxweynaha dawladda federaalka Soomaaliya, Cabdullaahi Yuusuf Axmed booqasho ku marayo waddamada Afrika si ay amni sugidda dalka uga qayb qaataan waddamadaasi, ayaa dalalka Nigeria iyo Rwanda ay dawladda federaalka u sameeyeen ballanqaadyo ah Nigeria oo ciidamo ku keeneysa gudaha waddanka muddo laba toddobaad ka yar iyo Rwanda oo tababarayaal sare u iyana soo direysa. Ciidamada nabad ilaalinta ee Afrika ka imanaya ayaa looga gol leeyahay in ay ilaaliyaan isla markaasna taageeraan nabadda Soomaaliya, si dawladda Soomaaliya ay u soo celiso amniga iyo nimaadkii dawladnimo. Nigeria ayaa noqoneysa dalka 3aad ee ogolaada in ciidamo ay u soo dirto dalka Somalia, iyadoo horey ciidamada Uganda iyo Mallawi ay u ansixiyeen in ciidamadooda ay ka qeybgalayaan howlaha nabad ilaalineed ee Somalia.

^^^lol. That was funny, the secessionist never liked Toogane, thus I respect their input.

^^^Northerner, how can he neutralise anything? He was never a soldier, they [shabaab] never took orders from him, he never belonged to the main clan and the main alliance was throough marriege, thus the south is not even in contention. Bay, Bakool, Gedo, Juba's, Lower Shabbele are all quite with not a single incident so far. Mogadishu is is a policing operation and weapon collection project. My point is, the government has nothing to lose talking to him, he is a spent force, he can replace Salad Jelle, as deputy something, but my question was how can anyone take him seriously by making a deal with the Americans and Kenyans, who played a role in decimating his group? How do you talk when your men are getting bombed, some think he gave the latest info, who knows?

^^^A rather poor try, what does Sharif Ahmed bring to the tablle? and if he is so important to them, why bomb his supporters, his allies, his friends his men on the same day they meet him? What message does this send to the rest of the warriors getting bombed, he is helping us, or telling on us?

^^Give us your perspective on this story.

^^^It depends what angle you look at this news item. A Somali President visits three neighbouring nations with an aim to get support for his country. He is receieved warmly. If this is not a significant news piece I do not know what is? I give the news as it is, and from my view point, if that turns some people of, that is unfortunate and not my intention.

^^^They are playing mind games.

Mr. Ranneberger has said Mr. Ahmed is among those who could play a role in the reconciliation that the United States and diplomats from some other countries say is necessary to unify Somalia How come he is so sure of the Sharif?

U.S. Conducts Somalia Airstrike; Envoy Urges Talks With Islamists Published: January 25, 2007 MOGADISHU, Somalia, Jan. 24 (Reuters) — The United States has conducted a second airstrike in Somalia, American officials said Wednesday. The top American envoy in East Africa, meanwhile, urged an Islamist leader to work for reconciliation with the Somali government. The new airstrike came roughly two weeks after a strike by an AC-130 plane killed what the United States said were eight fighters affiliated with Al Qaeda who had been hiding among Islamists pushed to Somalia’s southern tip by Ethiopian and Somali government forces. One official said the targets this week were Islamist fighters, who once controlled much of Somalia but were defeated in a two-week war that started in late December. A second source said the target was a Qaeda operative. A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment. “We’re going to go after Al Qaeda and the global war on terror, wherever it takes us,” said the spokesman, Bryan Whitman. Washington says Somali Islamists have protected Qaeda members accused of bombing the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in 2002. Al Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, vowed in a video posted on the Internet on Wednesday that Islamist fighters would defeat Ethiopian soldiers in Somalia. “The mujahedeen will break their backs with God’s power and help,” Mr. Zawahri said in the video. The United States and other countries are pushing on diplomatic and military fronts to help the newly empowered Somali government build on the gains it made in the war, which enabled it to enter the capital for the first time since it was organized in 2004. On Wednesday, the American ambassador to Kenya, Michael E. Ranneberger, met with an Islamist leader, Sheik Sharif Ahmed, who had fled Somalia and is being held by Kenyan intelligence agents in a hotel on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Mr. Ranneberger has said Mr. Ahmed is among those who could play a role in the reconciliation that the United States and diplomats from some other countries say is necessary to unify Somalia. Mr. Ahmed, one of the most visible faces of the Islamists during its six-month rule of most of southern Somalia, surrendered at the Kenyan border. Diplomats say Kenya, with United States support, has pushed the Somali government leaders to sit down with Mr. Ahmed for talks.

One wonders what they are saying today, since Sharif was meeting the US ambasador as their planes hit new targets. How did they get this new information, one wonders?

lol, so true.

^^^ I dont get what these people are about, if one is going to fight why should it matter what method he uses? The question here is that when these men called for war, did they not think the TFG would use any means, Ethiopia, US and local troops and so on? The fact is the TFG asked for support and got it. The clan courts asked for support from Eritrea, Egypt, Sudan and so on and did not eget it. The group with the better preperation won. Simple as that.

^^^lol.Hey people leave Abshir Bacadle alone.
