^^^Geedi has been one of the weak points of this TFG. His latest outburst is wrong specially when he said that the courts only control 20% of the city, they control the city. He used to insult the warlords and then he took his time in dealing with them.. Also this news of Mohamed Dheere in Baido is another black day for the TFG... You can not defend the ********* of it...

^^^Paragon, as usual you jump the gun, read what I wrotte in response to the saber rattling of my brother Ubahane. It is unislamic to wish for war and it is heretical to think you gain a halaal objective through haram actions. Nothing clanistic about that. I have supported the idea of an Islamic state, but justice should be universal and not based on who contributed the most techniclans and so on..

Why Today I Wear My Zidane Jersey By Dave Zirin Photo: Reuters Imagine Michael Jordan in his last game, with the score tied in overtime, knocking out his defender with a punch to the throat. Imagine Derek Jeter in game seven of the World Series, at bat with the bases loaded, thrashing the opposing team's catcher over the head with his bat. Our collective shock would only be exceeded by disappointment. No one, fan or foe, would want to a see a great player end their career in an act that speaks to the worst impulses of sports: when hard competition spills over into violence. Now imagine if Jordan and Jeter claimed they were provoked with a racial slur. Does their violence become understandable? Even excusable? Herein lies the case of French National team captain, the great Zinedine Zidane. Zidane, competing in his last professional match, was kicked out of the World Cup final in overtime for flattening Italian player Marco Materazzi with the head-butt heard around the world. Zidane, or Zissou as he is known, became the first captain ever ejected from a World Cup championship match. The announcers denounced Zissou for committing a "classless act and the French team withered, eventually losing to a demonstrably inferior Italian squad in overtime. The following morning the international tabloids with their typical grace, gave Zissou a new nickname: "butt-head.†Less examined was the fact that Zissou was literally carrying a lightly regarded French team to the finals. Less examined was the fact that Zissou had been grabbed, kicked, and fouled all game by the vaunted Italian defense. Less examined was the fact that Zissou had almost left minutes earlier due to injury, his arm wilting off his shoulder like a wet leaf of spinach. This unholy amount of pressure is the primary reason the 34-year-old veteran snapped and planted Materazzi into the pitch. Now the great mystery is what set Zissou off. What could Materazzi have possibly said to send him over the edge? Answers are beginning to filter out. According to a FIFA employee transcribing what was said during the match, Materazzi’s called Zissou a “big Algerian shit.†A Brazilian television program that claims to have used a lip-reader said Materazzi called Zissou’s sister “a whore.†The highly respected French anti-racist coalition SOS Racisme issued a press release stating, "According to several very well informed sources from the world of football, it would seem [Materazzi] called Zissou a 'dirty terrorist'." Materazzi, in an answer that can only be called Clintonian, said, "It is absolutely not true. I didn't call him a terrorist.†Of course he didn’t comment on what he did call him. Zissou himself has only said cryptically that he would reveal what Materazzi said "in the coming days." Right now, we do not know beyond a shadow of a doubt what was said but all the circumstantial evidence points at least toward a variant of SOS Racisme's claim. Zissou is the son of Algerian immigrants who has sparred verbally with Europe's far-right political machine for more than a decade. He is an outspoken anti-racist on a team that has defined itself by its multiculturalism and stubborn insistence to stand up against bigotry both inside and outside the sport. Materazzi on the other hand, will be playing this year for the Italian team Lazio, where his father was the former coach. Lazio's fan club, The Ultras, are notorious for their Fascist-friendly politics. Lazio's hardcore Ultras, known as the "Irriducibili," have members in Italy's extra-parliamentary far right and try to use the club to recruit. The group has frequently uses racist and anti-Semitic banners, one time hanging a 50-foot banner that said their opponents were a "team of niggers." It’s wrong to taint Materazzi for the actions of Lazio’s fans, but there is more. Earlier this season in a match that pitted Messina against Inter in Sicily, Messina's star African player Marc Zoro famously picked up the ball and walked off the pitch in protest of the monkey chants rained upon him by Inter supporters. In a stirring act of solidarity, many of the Inter players immediately showed support for Zoro's actions. But one opponent yelled, "Stop that, Zoro, you're just trying to make a name for yourself." That opponent's name was Marco Materazzi. At the start of this tournament I wrote a soccer column with my colleague John Cox, called Racism Stalks the Cup. We expressed our concern that the monkey chants, banana peels, and peanuts raining down on African players this year would continue on the sport's grandest stage. This largely did not occur. But then in the final act, at the moment of most exquisite tension, it seems racism may have actually emerged from the shadows. I, for one, am damn glad that when it did, it ran smack into Zissou's beautiful head. We don’t know with iron certainty what Materazzi said, but if it turns out to be more of the anti-Black, anti-Muslim, garbage that has infected soccer like a virus, the Italian team should forfeit the cup. They should voluntarily give the greatest trophy of them all back to FIFA as a statement that some things in this world are more important than sports. Racism will be the death of soccer if things don’t change. Italy can set the sport back on course, with one simple, stunning gesture. Give the damn thing back.

^^^lol. Thats much better, so long as you stop pretending to have the moral high ground. Baidoa you say, I have never been there insha Allah I will visit it one day, but why pretend that you and I, will do anything more than leave our mark on SOL, in the comfort of our homes.. So like I have said, lets pray for peace and justice and hope our nation pulls through..That of course is the Islamic way nooh.

Bashi, not a bad analysis at all. Though you seem to belive in this mythical power of these courts. Much is made of them as was of the warlords before them. I still doubt they are interested in attacking Baidoa any time soon. In Baidoa they will face a totally different adversary, one who will fight.. Ooodwene, I must say for once you have impressed me..a question for you, Who benefited most from this agreement? The TFG, or the courts.

Olol, I feel for you brother, at least you never hide behind the religion of Islam. I respect that, your support for Indacade, Cirfo and Xasan Dahir is sweet, keep it up..

Nice story, though you conveniently forget some warlords...I hope you like the ending.. Islam is the only way. Though it is clear one never gets to an end that is Halaal[lawful] through Haram means.. Thus drugs trading, looted property, murder, clan opretion of other muslim, convenient ties with Christian Eritria [Tigray].. Is contrary to the holly Quran and the teachings of our beloved prophet [may peace be upon him]. Say there are two groups, but never pretend that you are in a Jihad, clan boy..

Cirfo, Inda Cade, Dhuxulow, Seerar, Goobaale, just to name a few are left. Will they be dealt with? Will the occupation from Afgoye to Kismayu end????? Those are the questions of the age..

Inda Cade will not last long, he is a warlord and the worst kind, he occupies lands of innocent Somali's. His many claims of being a Shiekh or a business personality have been proven to be false...

^^No my brother, there has been requests to recognise Israel as documented by ME in this thread. Most of these have come from the diaspora and so called intellectuals who support the secesionist cause. Even in this thread Qudac and others have shown it. I know you do not agree, even though you would like to divide the nation.. I suggest you come out against the likes of Qudac, and others here who are in favour of the Zionist over the Arabs and hence Muslims..

^^lol. Mr red sea. dont try it mate..

^^lol. Mr red sea. dont try it mate..

That was funny...

That was funny...

There is one thing having diplomatic relationships and it’s another offering a strategic base that could harm Islamic interests to the current enemy of Islam. That’s the problem my friend, nothing else. 100% correct. May I also add that the secesionist have asked for this same thing 14 years or so, why have the Israeli's ignored them? Recognising Israel is oen thing, but you must first get your won recognition. You are no more than a clan and as such restrain from going against our interest.

Islamists claim victory in Somalia Monday 10 July 2006, 23:53 Makka Time, 20:53 GMT Abdi Hassan Awale Qeydiid, Somalia's last secular warlord in the capital Mogadishu, has surrendered to Islamic militants after a two-day battle that left at least 67 dead, militants said. The militants said on Monday that they had captured the warlord's headquarters in the south of the city and that his fighters had begun handing over their weapons. The militants had claimed on Sunday that they had taken full control of the city after declaring victory over Qeydiid and fellow warlord and transitional government member Hussein Aidid, but heavy fighting had resumed early afternoon on Monday. After four months of fighting between militants and the US-backed warlords, which left over 400 dead, Mogadishu fell on June 5 to the militants, who also control swathes of southern Somalia. Somalia's transitional government in Baidoa, about 250kms (150miles) from Mogadishu, demanded that the Islamists abandon territories they seized in Mogadishu and be excluded from peace talks with the government, expected to resume in Khartoum on Saturday. Peacekeepers But Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, a top official in Somalia's supreme Islamic Court, said that "the government has nothing to do with peace in Mogadishu". This government was unable to come to the capital after being repelled by the warlords, whom we have at last toppled. They (the government) should be grateful for what we did," he told journalists. Earlier on Monday in Nairobi, Mwai Kibaki, the Kenyan President and Yoweri Museveni, his Ugandan counterpart, who are members of the seven-nation east African Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), called on the international community to help deploy peacekeepers in the east African country. In recent weeks, IGAD officials have complained that the international community, especially Western powers, have been non-committal on the Somali conflict, thus complicating regional efforts to restore a functional government there.

While I agree the secesionists can at times lose the plot, I do have reservations on this letter from Egal to Rabine....

Paragon, the news from Mogadishu late last night was that A/qaybdeed lost, and was not able to continue. My position on him has been to hand his wepons over to Al-Furqan his clans court from day one. My point was simple the courts claim of controlling the country is laughable. Go back and read the former posts concerning Mr Qaybdeed and my stance on the warlords Vs Courts. Before you embark on another useless argument...

^^^ This letter is as old as Somaliland, I doubt the late Egal wrotte it specially the last part.

First of all the majority of MP's will not go any where, there are many reasons for the TFg to change their minds, these clan courts are not interested in talks, they claim wrongly they run the country when they do not run Mogadishu as the case of the latest blood bath.

Great news, the world cup would have been better..

BAYDHABO: Ra'iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya oo sheegay inaysan Dowladdiisu kulan la qaadanayn Maxkamadaha Posted to the Web Jul 10, 10:31 Baydhabo (PP) - Ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya Prof. Cali Maxamed Geeddi oo saakay la hadlayay Barnaamijka Network Africa ee ka baxa BBC-da ayaa sheegay in Dowladdiisu aysan wax wadahadallo ah oo dambe la qaadanayn Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ah ee Muqdisho ka jira. Ra’iisul wasaaruhu wuxuu ka dhawaajiyay in Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ah ee Muqdisho ka jira ay ku tunteen heshiiskii ay dowladdu kula soo gaaray Magaalada Khartoum ee dalka Sudan sidaa daraadeedna aysan iyaguna u heelanayn inay kulan la qaataan. "Maxkamadaha islaamiga ah ee Muqdisho ka jira waxay ku xadgudbeen qaybo ka mid ah heshiiskii aan kula soo gaarnay dalka Sudan, waana mid aan macquul noqonayn haba yaraateen inaan kulammo kule la yeellanno, balse waxaan kulammo la yeelan karnaa oo keliya Maxkamadaha Ahlu-sunna Wal-jamaaca ee ka jira iyagana Magaalada Muqdisho" ayuu ku yiri wareysigaas Prof. Geeddi. Mar uu ka jawaabaya su’aal ahayd ma la kulmaysaa Sheekh Xasan Daahir Aweys si aad dowladda ugu dartaan ayuu ku jawaabay Ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya "Anigu Xasan Daahir oo aan la kulmo waxay iiga dhigan tahay Sheekh Usaame Binu Laden oo aan la kulmo mana dhacyso taas". Ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya ayaa hadalladiisa waxay u muuqdeen kuwo aan suurogal ka dhigayn in dowladdiisu ay dib dambe ula kulanto Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ah ee ka jira Magaalada Muqdisho. Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ayuu ku sheegay Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Soomaaliya inay jabiyeen heshiiska qaar ka mid ah oo ahaa in aan wax dagaallo ah oo dambe aan la hurin, taasoo uu sheegay inay ku xadgudbeen ayna u bareereen xadgudubkaas. Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya iyo Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ah ee Muqdisho ayaa kala fogaanshahoodu marayaa meeshii ugu khatarsanayd.
