Melbourne-based Range is exploring for oil, gas, nickel and uranium in Western Australia, Peru and Puntland. I thought some here said Range was a small firm? What the hell is it doing in South America and Australia? :confused:

Shariif Sheekh Axmed oo maanta hadal ka jeediyey munaasabad golaha maxaakiimta islaamiga Soomaaliyeed ay kula wareegayeen deeq lacageed oo gaareysa 7 kun oo doolar oo ka timid jaaliyadda Soomaalida ee Sweden ayaa sheegay in heleen xog caddaynaysa in dawladda Itoobiya ay dhawaan dooneyso in dayaarado ay ku weerarto deegaano ka tirsan Koonfurta Soomaaliya.

Shariif waxa intaas ku daray in xogtaas ay sheegayso in Itoobiya ay qorshaynayso in 15-20 ka bishan aynu ku jirno in dayaarado dagaal iyo ciidamo gaaraya 15 kun oo askari in ay ku soo weeerarto deegaano ay ka mid yihiin Beled weyne, Baraawe, Jilib, Kunturwaaray, Kismaayo ,daafaha Baydhabo iyo meelo kale.

^^^lol. They ran all the way to Leego and then came back a few hours the troops left.

Abdi writtes alot, thats all.

^^^lol. Red Sea you do make me laugh..

^^^Why not tell that Ubahane who wants to destroy Somaliland...

Red Sea, you have pretended too long to be something youare not. Lets close this argument once and for all. If you think hiding behind Islam will bring the demise of my clan then youare wrong. 1. The TFG wins and brings order to the country. The clan I hail from will survive as it playes a central role in the TFG etc,etc. 2. The courts win and bring an true Islamic revoulution, the clan I hail from has many religious scholars and will no doubt play a central role in the future of the country. All its property will be returned and everything will be nice. Both scenarios we do not lose. So calm down my brother.

^Ninka ma taqaanid. I swear he does more harm to the message of Islam that the Courts preach more then Indhacade can ever do.

Barre Hiiraale oo ay malleeshiyooyinkiisa ku sugan yihiin Duleedka Magaalada Kismaayo halka lagu magacaabo Beer-xaani. Maxkamadaha ayaa waxay sheegeen in Malleeshiyooyinka Barre Hiiraale ay ka soo kubaareeyeen dhowr meelood ayna xaaladda qarka u saaran tahay inay dagaallo xoog badan isaga horyimaadaan, waxaana ay carrabka ku dhufteen in dagaal dhaca uu yahay mid lagu kala badbaadayo. Sarkaal u hadlay Maxkamadaha ayaa sheegay in Malleeshiyada Col. Barre Hiiraale ee ku sugan Deegaanka Beerxaani ay yihiin kuwo helay saanad milateri oo aad u xoog badan isla markaana ay yihiin kuwo awooddoodu ay tahay mid aan la dhayalsan karin, waxaana uu carrabka ku adkeeyay inay noqonayso inay ka awood badiyaan oo ay eryaan iyo inay magaalada qabsadaan mar kale middood. Dhanka kale; Sarkaal u hadlay Malleeshiyada Col. Barre Hiiraale oo lagu magacaabo Col. Mukhtaar kuna sugan Deegaanno ka tirsan Gobolka Jubbda dhexe ayaa sheegay inay ka go'an tahay dhankooda inay la wareegaan Magaalada Kismaayo mar kale, waxaana uu sheegay inay dagaalka ka galayaan goobo fara badan.

Dagaalka aad wadid aan ka soo hor jeeda duqa.Somali hal meel eey ka jiiftey meeshii haddi Ilaahey nabad siiyey Amiin in eey dhahaan mahiino.Xaa meel kaleto nabad ka jirto aas geynayaa.....??? Ubahane is getting desperate every time. We shall wait till Eid..

Waraa soco seexo yaaqeey. Quuqdaada dariska xataa aa salaatul leyl ka tukan la'. Afurkii maa kuu gooye cawada, see camaleeto? Mise sariirta aa qaboob kugu noqotay? Yac! Ubahane a man driven by clan hatred that he does not even respect the religion.Islamic courts, what Islamic courts all we see are the same nobodies trying on bigger shoe sizes. Saxib forget Somaliland get past Gelinsoor..

^^^You only support your clan, yesterday Aydeed today clan courts, whats new? Support your government, end the occupation, give back the looted properties.

ME: as ever I enjoy your comments. One can communicate with you. Good for Somalia you say, well its my homeland and I do miss it. Somalia will get better, when the occupation of the south ends. When armed clans are disarmed and the people are equal under the law. When looted property is returned to the orphans. Fake wadaads, and clan fascist will not do, thats so yesterday. We have here people who used to cheer for Aydeed, Ato, Inda cADE and who pretnend to be Somali. One nation, one flag, equal. Thats the Somalia I want..

^^^Saxib, Allpuntland has more info than this. Even the tabload Idamaale is more informative. The trouble with the oustide media is they do not understand the internal situation. Thus yesterday they used to call the warlords of Mogadishu powerful and today they use the same term for the clan courts. The fact that they make out that Ethiopia is fighting Somalia, while it is a struggle between two major clans one allied to Ethiopia and the other to Eritria. The idea that bombers would be required to take out Mogadishu is another fallacy. Caamir, dont take it prsonally since you do not work for the Economist and I dont work for Allpuntland.

^^^Suleyman, the news seems to be a rehashing of the old ones. Nothing new.

^^^I agree with ME. this is rubish..Metro , so ME you are a Londoner?

But what is the latest on the situation? Also what about the movement in Mudug/Galgaduud with A/qaybdeed are these things related?
