Allamagan, leave Red Sea alone He does not know who Abukar Cumar Cadaan is, one of the most powerful warlord/businessmen in Migadishu. He used to be partners with his cousin Bashir Raage their team was called the Banadir company. They used to battle Xaji Musa Sudi who was from another clan of the sub-clan. These battles cost lives and took their toll on the North of the city. His group are famous for the export of coal through Ceel-Macaan and since the takeover he has been given control of Mogadishu port and now Kismayu. Justice huh, or business as usual. But Red Sea knew that right

Red Sea, the threats was not from you so do not jump the gun. Those who make threats against Puntland was a gambit thrown at the boys here from the south, the Ubahane's and Xoogsade, Olol and the fake Oromo, Eritrian lot. The point is simple the courts have helped their clan, but we have helped our clan and Somaliland helped their clan long ago. I have no illusion to who and what the clan courts are. I also have no worries about Puntland. A real islamic revival in Somalia will no doubt wash away all the clan occupations, subjugations, return the looted properies and bring justice to the oppressed majority of the nation in the south. No problem with that and no amount of rhetoric will save the armed clans and their agenda.

^^^IndaCADE is the courts..

^^^I agree some sort of order is better than before, but they should not pretend to be bigger that what they really are or over do their simple achievement. We had the people of North West bring peace as Somaliland and the people of the North East as Puntland. These two huge regions brought this about a decade before, so lets not over do what this clan has done, it is no more than what others clans achieved long ago.

^^^You did you said the clan courts were great, thus since their foundation is warlords Indacade, Seeraar, Goobanle, Dhuxulow, Cirfo. Thus you are being selective when you attack some as warlords and praise others.

^^^You defend Inda Cade group?

^^^Che, your argument does not stand, regarding firepower the TFG has enough guns and will but it is yet not time to take action. You credit the courts with what, fighting, well you are 100% right the TFG did not fight anyone instead it opted to negotiate to talk to play politics. The clan courts is not a national movement with various contradictions and based on consensus. It is a single clan, fighting on behalf of that clan and trying to thwart the national government. The clan courts are from the main armed clan of Mogadishu, the one that had the firepower, business and will to fight. The TFG is made up of different clans, different group sometimes opposed to each other. I would not bet on the courts winning every battle, they have so far had set backs in Galkacyu and Buaale. In the long run, the age of warlords is over, we are now enetering the end of the civil war. A national federal government is better than the deluded dreams of a single group who have no idea how to govern.

^^^Saxib what change does Puntland need? We have had for 16 years what Mogadishu has had for 4. We are a state nearly a decade old with a working government, locla authorities and thriving economy relative to other Somali araes, Mogadishu does not even have a governor, a mayor, its all clan court this, clan that. So please keep the rubish to yourslef. As for the threats we are not worried, those who are a minority in the areas they occupy should be worried, Puntland is in the hands of its people.

Hiiraale aside from the TFG link is the head of his clan an important figure. He made mistakes in the past but I would not picture him as the devil. He has proven to be tougher than many of us thought.

Hannibal, the punits in SOL, do not understand that the TFG must be seen defending itself and not as the agressor. Now that time has come, we have these foolish clan courts running around the country and making threats against peaceful regions as well as neighbouring states. What is the world to think? Lift the embargo and let the "weak" TFG defend itself, let Ethiopia defend itself, let the horn defend itself from these "radicals". This fuel thing is another point to score, all the TFG did is visit Bur-Hakabo and you get this reaction, when they invaded Kismayu did the TFG make threats in public? No. The courts have done A.Yusuf allot of favours, they will be thanked later on.

^^^No he is retired, and so should stay out of public view.

^^lol. Ok saxib.

^^^lol. You have a point but brother look beyond the perceptions reer Mogadishu hold. I vividly remmeber them having the same number of fighters with even Inda Cade and others and they were crushed in less than a hour by the RRA. History is repeating itself all over again, but this time it will be for real. Insha Allah.

^^^He is from Bari originally but has been a southerner most of his life.

^^^LOL. I do love your confidance in the courts, we wait and see. But I remmeber who confident the USC was against the RRA in 1999, the rest is History.

Juje, lol. Maybe we should warn the TFG to leave now.

^^The old man does not chew mate, he could not even if he wanted, liver operation you see.

Morgan is in Mogadishu last time I heard, but he is not involved with anything he is retired. The courts dont pose much threat to Somaliland, they just talk too much. Internal dissent is what they want, but there is no power in Somalia that can subjugate Somaliland.

^^^Saxib a few question for you both. Aside from this new propoganda about fuel, which the TFG never purchased from Mogadishu. If the TFG is in danger why are they not fleeing Baidoa? Why are they not lashing out, making threats? Instead what we have is the quite, before the storm. Ideed it is the courts who are making idle threats daily. Che, I did love the Rumsfeld way you put that last statement. However I try to look beyound the hype, the TFG has an army, not mighty but adequite for the task ahead.
