^^^Northerner, spare us the rubish, your knowledge of the situation has been to be at best very weak. The TFG forces will enter the capital soon enough insha Allah and they need no permision from your like, Ethiopia or the US. As of now, Villa Somalia, the port, the entrance from Afgoyye and number of other landmarks are in the hands of clans waiting for the TFG to come. North Mogadishu clan elders have laready said they are getting ready to welcome the TFG as soon as possible. Lower Shabbele my main concern of late, is being liberated, reer Barava, Reer Marka and the rest will take over the running of their region for themselves for the first time in 16 years. Now thats progress.

mystic, there is no need for any oustide help anymore. I even doubt we need more than a few trainers from the AU now. Our troops can take care of the rest of the job.

Khalaf, they are all toothless, hence no proclamations, no bravado, have you heard anything from them lately? The fact is these individuals are in the position Xabsade, Saransoor are in Baidoa, which is nothing. Mogadishu insha Allah will have a mayor elected by its people and a police force from the local population. Just like Baidoa. The important thing is the lower Shabbele is being liberated as we speak, from now on reer barava, Marka, Qoryoole will run their own affairs without anyone standing in thier way..

^^^Well no one is hiding behind an ET, the TFG has come to power on its own skills, merits and has cripled the opposition more through mind gams than anything else. Remmeber how they where so weak a week ago? The art of war itself.

^^Its a new tactic, huh to hide out in Mogadishu and give the wepons back to the clans? Give us a break people..

The TFG has come to power, it has outlasted all prediction from so called "experts". It has out manouvered the warlords of Mogadishu. Today it has outplayed Xasan Dahir, Abdiqasin and his gang.

^^^Its all bogus, their promises to fight, their lies about an insurgency. Their last tool is the media, who have already started to change their tune after the fall of Balcad.

^^^ Jowhar Somali citizen celebrate as they carry the Somali Transitional Federal Government flag after soldiers arrived in Jowhar town 90km from Moagdsihu Saxib the TFG has more than 14 thousand tough soldiers, fighting to reclaim their country. Thus your ignorant analysis only underscores the fact that you know nothing about the south and its politics. The fake Jihad is up, the clan courts are returning wepons to clan millitias in order to escape through the mayhem to ensue. They only ever thought about themselves and not the people they loudly proclaimed to protect. Their failure is the TFG's gain. What happened to all the PHD holders they boasted of?

Taliban, I would say the next few days are critical to the TFG and the Somali nation. The TFG must secure the capital, brining 50% in within the next two days. They must name a security commitee for the capital with a retired millitary officer from within Mogadishu heading that commite. The clans must be forces to take all the wepons out of the city. This must be done for Kismayu as well and as soon.

^^^The people are not supporting the courts, in every town that fell to the TFG the elders welcomed them with open arms. Even Guriceel, Dhusamareb and Mataban the TFG troops where welcomed and this is Xasan Dahir's home town. Lets stop the propoganda people..The nation is back..Alhamdulilah

^^You are right though the TFG will take a day or so to have enough troops in the city, what about the clan elders,community leaders are they playing a key role to keep things calm?

^^^What is the latest from Mogadishu Juje?

^^my brother you can not reduce this landmark moment into a small warlord incident. The age of warlords is over, the TFG has gained power, it is a recognised state government. The defeat of the warlords was staged in Baidoa and the very decesion to move there was with this in mind. If you want to see what is in store for the warlords become, all you have to do is look at what happened in Baidoa, where are its warlords, Xabsade, Saransoor , Black, Adan Madowe and Shatigaduud? A united federal Somalia is in the making the winners are, Yusuf, Geedi and the cabinet. A/Qaybdeed is the third highest ranking officer in the TFG forces. The losers Sharif Xasan, all the courts and the few silly MP's in the parliment who are now in Migadishu..

^^^The tragedy is that people follwoed the likes of IndaCade, Xasan dahir and others who where only fighting for narrow interest. Thats why they lost.

Red Sea, what now new predictions? Saxib, the war was not as touhg as everyone belived, the clan courts not as strong as they belived. The TFG is now the strongest power in Somalia, it has what the courts had, a perception of power. Right now there are many people getting ready to welcome Yusuf, Geedi and the parliment to Mogadishu.

^^^I commend you, also brother.

He made the right remarks..

^^^Duke is here people, the news just in. The TFG troops are moving on all sides towards Mogadishu. The northern front troops have already enetered Balacad and are in parts of the North. The troops heading from Bali-doogle are facing some resistance from those who occupy the area, but are moving steadily.

^^^That was the past, nmany people commited crimes on each and every clan. Thus is make up a story about Omar Jess massacring people in Kismayu today woudl it be true?

^^^I know you are in the no 1 spot in the premiarship of clan haters. Sharif Ahmed talked about a massacre in Cadaado. The truth is there was no massacre at all, there was no fighting in Cadaado, Guriceel, Mataban and all the other locations. The elders of Cadaado, Guriceel, Mataban, Galinssor, Banderadlay met the TFg forces and there was no massacre, even the wounded from the clan courts side are being treated in Galkacyu. So why is he lying and then claiming to be a shiekh?
