Me, I guess the TFG is against any vialation of our territory. I have read the article and it seems vague. Lately we hear that Ethiopia is enetering Somalia and so on and so forth. However the regime in Adis have deneied such claims. They probably are arming the TFG, but that differes from an invasion. I belive these news materials are aimed at confusing the people, much like how Qaynyare used to cry wolf, now Xasan Dahir and his media are crying wolf. I doubt there will be any Ethiopian invasion of Somalia.. Me. What is your position on Osama Bin Ladens comments that he is supporting the courts and they are members of his network? Why haven the courts responded to this, is Shiekh Sharif scared? Please answer these comments as you are the locla sleeper cell in SOL.

^^^ This is so funny, kind of reminds me of the story of the boy who cried wolf. Some people here are wishing for an Ethiopian invasion. Be careful what you wish for. As for Ubashane, I hope you get the opportunity to defend your weak nation. Just dont bottle it.

^^^Xoogsade, so much for the last post. As for your defence, the courts came to power on the back of the peoples loathing for the warlords. Their recent action speaks volumes, I really dont have the time to give the benefit of the doubt to the usual suspects, Sheikh Sharif seems honest but Xasan Dahir, Inda Cade and Co, are running the show. If you insist we show them respect, then why did we attacl Musa, Qaynayare and Co? olol I was a child in 1991, fortunately I left the country before the war. The issue with me is justice, botom line, one must not speak about foreign aggreesion when there is homegrown ones. I hope your new professed stance will mean you will fight the homegrwon injustice as much as you pretend to fight the Ethioipains..

'Bin Laden' in Somalia warning 10.30PM, Sat Jul 1 2006 Osama bin Laden has warned Washington and the world community against sending forces to Somalia, according to an Internet audio tape. An unnamed US intelligence official said there was no reason to doubt it was bin Laden on the tape, which was posted on an Internet site used by Islamists. The speaker says on the tape: "We will fight (foreign) soldiers on the land of Somalia and we reserve the right to punish them (countries that send troops) on its land and anywhere possible. "We warn all of the countries in the world not to respond to America by sending international troops to Somalia." Bin Laden, making his second Internet broadcast in two days, also warned Iraq's Shi'ite majority of retaliation over attacks on Sunni Arabs. He said Shi'ites could not "violate" Sunni cities in Iraq and at the same time expect their own areas to remain "safe from retaliation and harm". During the 19 minute recording Bin Laden endorsed Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also believed to have the name of Abu Ayyub al-Masri, as the new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq after the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in a US air strike on June 7. "We have been informed that our mujahideen brothers at (Iraq's) al Qaeda have chosen Abu Hamza al-Muhajir as their emir. I pray God that he will be the best successor of the best predecessor," he said. Jun 30: Bin Laden recording praises al-Zarqawi

^^^Much of the same useless, baseless rant. Instead of an all inclusive governemnt. You would have us support a court run by a single clan. Headed by the elite of warlords, Cirfo, IndacADE, Abukar Cadaan, Xasan Dahir. Where are the people? Where are the unarmed clans, the down trodden, the weak, the poor? This is your view of justice, progress and furthering the national cause? I want to free all my people, every man, woman and child, every town should have its say, and decesions should not be exclusive to those with the most guns. Including my clan.... I want to build on an imperfect government and system, it takes time and sacrifice. I do not fancy living in denail, pretending that crimes against Somalias are only commited by the old enemy Ethiopia...Somalia's greatest enemy has been ourselves, we destroyed our cities and killed our people.. You talk a great deal but all along you have been on a quest to defend your clan, and not the people of Somalia. A silly quest, with no facts or reasoning to support it.. You have tried to make Mogadishu your own, when it belongs to all. I told you, I have as many relatives in Mogadishu as you, yet you always attacked me becauase my clan were chased out of the city, thus you assume I have an inherent biased towards it, when I do not.. I never took you seriously specially the repetitive nature of your arguments. So long my brother...

^^ I support the TFG, I post many articles here to support the position I hold. The TFG has a right to defend itself and its position against any entity in Somalia. Ethiopia is an excuse, A/Yusuf is an excuse. Those who attack my position attack it becausse of clan. Now bring something to the table, other than a few lines against my person, or the same silly excuses regarding "Ethiopia" and "A/Yusuf".. Something with more weight otherthan Dayniile.com..

Shabbele media or court news top new item is the endorsement of Osama Bin Laden for the clan courts of Mogadishu. Now is this a good thing for the courts and the people of Mogadishu? What happened to the letter Sharif Ahmed sent to western nations stressing that courts were not involved in this terror business.. I think not, someone should speak to these buffoons... Bin Laden oo ku baaqay in la taageero Maxkamadaha, la lana dagaalamo dowladda FS Mogadishu - 02 July. 06 ( Sh.M.Network) Hogaamiyaha urur weynaha Al-qacida Osama Bin Laden ayaa cajal Maqal ah oo uu soo duubay waxa uu ku sheegay in la taageero awooda cusub ee maxaakiimta cusub ee Somalia, isagoo ku taliyay in lala dagaalamo dowladda KMG ah ee Madaxweyne C/laahi Yuusuf oo dalka u soo horkaceysa sida uu u yiri ciidamo Ethiopian ah oo qaarkood ba ay shalay soo galeen.

Sakhar, you do not need to be fooled. Xasan Dahir is up to his old game. Inda Cade is still occupaying the lower Shabbele. These courts are still day dreaming, Islam is non compatable with injustice.

^^^ I did not say anything, that was said by a mey anyone member of the TFG. As for your comment about a few months ago, when was this? The TFG has never attacked anyone, nor has been under attack.

The TFG is a broad based governemnt, which represents every Somali groupings. Nothing compares to it in Somalia today. For example the Somaliland and Puntland entities are baed on a number of closely related clans and the interest of specefic regions. The JVA,, Courts and other factions in the south alsoe represent narrow clan interest and unlike Puntland and Somaliland came abouth throw Force. Now those who left their comments on this particular thread, Xoogsade, Horn,Olol and Mr Red Sea. Have all been opposed to the very existance of this TFG, thus what I say will not register. But for the impartial observers and others. I would like to highlight that these fellows are jumping on this new bandwagon. They view this Courts as yet another opportunity to destroy this government. Example is that all the fellows minus the secesionist Red Sea, were promoters of the cause of Sharif Xasan when he was with the warlords. The courts for all the hype they are a loose coilition of clans who hail from the same confederacy. They are no more religious than the JVA. Their main aim is neither Islam or justice, but to be an armed opposition or an alternative government. They want by any means to detroy the government of A/Yusuf. Their weakness is that they do not hold much sway over the country, they do not even have an adminstration for Banadir as I writte. The International community is now turning to support the TFG because of their alleged links to bodies which are against the world powers. These very courts will ensure the success of A/Yusuf. Their reckless behaviour and big talk, against Ethiopia and the US will further isolate Mogadishu and surrounding areas. They want total power and in Somalia there is no room, because we already have a government.

Zidane the football wizard conjures up more magic to marvel at Amy Lawrence on France's zen master, a poetic playmaker with the fond label 'Zizou President' Sunday July 2, 2006 The Observer He walked off the pitch with a wink. While the younger ones cavorted in front of the blue corner, Zinedine Zidane took himself away from the limelight. He embraced a few desolate Brazilians, saluted some unused substitutes, stood back from the party and took his leave. It is always best to watch the quiet ones. France began this tournament saddled with worries about the ageing legs at the heart of their team, but they have changed their tune. Allez les vieux. The capacity to inspire beats on inside Zidane.

Farewell Sven. You seemed to prefer women to trophies Full article... After three failed bids to win a tournament for England, Sven Goran Eriksson's era ended with yesterday's defeat. Stan Hey reviews the Swede's reign as coach and celebrity Published: 02 July 2006 At the end of the day, he left us as he had left his lovers, with a sense of anti-climax. Sven Goran Eriksson's five-and-a-half year managerial career with the England football team faded away with defeat in a penalty shoot-out yesterday to Portugal in Gelsenkirchen in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup. The Swedish manager on whom the Football Association, if not the country, had staked so much, once again found winning an international tournament beyond his coaching and motivational skills. Three exits at the last-eight stage were all he could leave us with, none of them in any way heroic, except yesterday's. Surely a case of Three Lions led by a Donkey? Yet when the svelte Svennis was introduced to the nation in the autumn of 2000 by Adam Crozier, then the FA's slick chief executive, who had headhunted him from the Italian club Lazio, there were many people ready to hail the appointment of England's first foreign coach as a progressive step. Before Sven, Kevin Keegan had flapped his arms like a stranded penguin as he watched England flounder out of a charmless Euro 2000 tournament, before resigning in the aftermath of a 1-0 defeat to Germany in the last game at the old Wembley Stadium. "I'm not up to the job," Keegan confessed in the players' tunnel as the autumn darkness fell.

^^^ Many thanks for the advice, my PC is breaking down...

^^^ No obsession, its that members of these clans have a nack of drawing attention to themselves. Xoogsade, if you are a thinking man, why would 100 Ethiopian troops invade a town? Why not bring 100,000 troops? Its the same nonsence of last week, and since the parliment requested FT depoloyment. Give us a break,

The English commentator was at one stage carried away and cried...Please don't stop playing football, please don't stop!...as he saw Zizou dance through the Selecao midfield.

^Calm down, do not lose your self, Somalia Independence Day celebrated in Puntland FiicanCaadiHoose Qiimeyn: 2 / 3 (2 ) HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all Somali people in every continent and country across the globe." GAROWE, Somalia June 30 (Garowe Online) A WELL-ORGANIZED celebration event was held at the Garowe State House tonight featuring appearances and speeches by the Puntland State vice president, Cabinet ministers, parliamentarians, NGO and civic leaders as well as Issims (traditional elders). The event was held in honor of Somali Independence Day, which is celebrated on the July 1st of every year. One of Puntland’s Issims, Islaan Isse Islaan Mohamed, said that it was a “valuable day†because it marked the moment when Somalia’s nationalists triumphed over the European colonialism and united to form the Somali Republic. Islaan Isse appealed to the Somali people to work together and to “return the dignity†the Somali nation was renowned for. Puntland Vice President Hassan Dahir Afqura, who gave the keynote address at the Garowe ceremony, said that Independence Day came after a “long struggle†in which Somali men and women participated to get freedom. VP Afqura added that it was unfortunate that the Somali people turned to civil war after the nation’s hard-won independence. The Puntland vice president appealed to Puntland citizens to safeguard the peace and to continue to cooperate with the government. VP Afqura sent Indepedence Day greetings to Somali people across the world. The semi-autonomous State of Puntland, in northeastern Somalia, was declared in 1998 and prides itself as an intergral part of the Federal Somali Republic. On behalf of the Garowe Online/Radio Garowe staff, we would like to say HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all Somali people in every continent and country across the globe. Garowe Online

^^^ Xoogsade, your fantasy shared by many here is that no one can battle your clans millitia. The localised battles between warlords and courts[new warlords] was exclusively between a single clan. Hence this bravado about, controling the country and attacking Baidoa, is uncalled for. The NATIONAL troops already in Wajid, Baidoa and near Burhakabo are all sons of Somalia. the media in Mogadisu, Shabbele and Co base their whole agenda on lies. Central to this is that Ethiopia is on its way, what any clan can do to Ethiopia is questionable, and why the TFG would let a powerful country take over its country is ludicrous. Kindly have the decency not to insult the Somali people with such utterences..Reports of 100 or so Ethiopian troops enetering Somalia every other week will not confuse anyone who thinks just a little.

: Isku soo bax loogu dabaaldagayo maalinta xorriyadda dalka oo ka dhacday maanta Baydhabo Posted to the Web Jul 01, 16:05 Baydhabo (PP) – Kumannaan dadweyne ah ayaa isugu soo baxay gudaha magaalada Baydhabo ee Gobolka Bay, kuwaasoo socod ku maray gudaha magaaladaas. Dadkaas ayaa isku soo baxooda wuxuu ahaa mid ay ku xusayaan 1-da Luuliyo oo ku beegan sannadguuradii 46-aad ee ka soo wareegtay maalintii xornimada dalka Soomaaliya, waxaana dadkaas ay ku heesayeen heesaha astaanta calanka. Dadkaan oo isugu jiray Ciroole, da’ dhexaad iyo dhallinyaro ay wehliyaan caruur ayaa waxaa wajiyadooda ka muuqatay farxad iyo sida ay ugu heellooyihiin inay ka qaybqaataan xuska maalinta xorriyadda Soomaaliya oo ah maalin ku weyn qalbiga ruux kasta oo Soomaali ah. Waxay socod dheer ku mareen gudaha magaalada Baydhabo iyagoo ku qalinayay Nabad in la helo, sidoo kale waxay si wanaagsan isugu jiibinayeen heesaha lagu xasuusta calanka Soomaaliya oo xaadda dhaqaajisay intii maqashay. Dadkaan oo markii dambe isugu soo ururay bartamaha magaalada Baydhabo ayaa waxaa halkaas kula hadlay mas’uuliyiin ka mid ah kuwa dowladda waxayna ku amaaneen sida qiimaha badan ee ay u xususteen maalinta qiimaha badan, waxaana ay uga hadleen maalinta xornimada dalka iyo qiimaha ay leedahay. Mas’uuliyiinta ayaa waxay sidoo kale sheegeen in xorriyadda maanta la harsanayo ay tahay mid ay sababteeda lahaayeen 13-dhallinyaro Soomaaliyeed ah oo sameeyay xisbigii ugu horreeyay ee gumeysi diidka ahaa oo lagu magacaabi jiray SYL, kuwaasoo ku guulaystay inay ku tirtirsiiyaan gumeystaha inuu dalka isaga baxo. Xaflad lagu maamuusayay 46-guuradii ka soo wareegtay maalinta xoriyadda Soomaaliya iyo israaca labada gobol, iyadoo ay warbixinno halkaas ka jeediyeen Ra’iisul wasaare Geeddi iyo Guddoomiye Shariif Xasan, iyo weliba xubno kale oo aad u fara badan, waxaana xuskii xalay uu ahaa mid dhacay dowladda oo is raacsan kuna shaqeynaysa hal meel.

^^^ What is holding us back is those who for clan reasons fight nail and teeth to prevent a governemnt led by the man from the "wrong clan". This happened with ALi Mahdi, and now the TFG led by A/Yusuf. "Ethiopoa" they blame and not the actions of their own Somali created injustices.. Since Sharif Xasan and the warlords failed, we have Sharif Ahmed and the reckless day dreams of Xasan Dahir, who will fight the injustice of Ethiopia and not the injustice of his own fighters, and proteges such as Cirfo, Inda Cade and the grave rober Cayrow. Mogadishu has a council, a goveror, a mayor, why dont these courts support this group? Mogadishu is also the capital of the nation, what happens there is both relevent...

Zidane the best of them all... In his final few games he is playing like a man possesed..

^^^ They are are a danger, these people are working for their won empowerment and are further isolating Somalia and making it a target.

^^^Xoogsade, these courts are no more than anextension of the daydream of the warlords. You are rooting for the same usual suspects. No one has a monopoly on islam, these reckless clan courts are just another obsticle to peace and nation hood.

^^^Olol its great that you have woken up to Somalinimo. I look forward to the new Olol, who will fight on behalf of justice, unity and peace...
