^^^ all the secesionists are the same, that fake flag gets me confused...

Ayoub, give us a break lad. You who's national myth is based on "British benevolent rule" and who is proud of the secesionist movement should be shy if not ashamed to point finigers at others with regards to being British. Somaliweyn, till the end...

Critics Want Dutch Lawmaker Deported By ARTHUR MAX The Associated Press Saturday, May 13, 2006; 10:33 PM AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born Dutch legislator who has championed the rights of Muslim women, is returning from a book tour to a firestorm for lying on her asylum application when she fled to the Netherlands in 1992 to escape an arranged marriage. Hirsi Ali, 36, said Saturday she was puzzled by the uproar since she publicly acknowledged the false refugee application when she stood for parliament in 2002. Ayaan Hirsi Ali gestures during an AP interview in The Hague, The Netherlands, Wednesday, April 26, 2006.

(AP Photo/Fred Ernst) (Fred Ernst - AP) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Have they all gone mad?" she said, accusing her rivals of a political vendetta. "Yes, I did lie to get asylum in Holland. This is public knowledge since at least September 2002," she said in a telephone call from Hamburg, Germany. Political opponents want her stripped of her Dutch citizenship and deported. Others say she should be expelled from parliament. Hirsi Ali became a popular figure in the Netherlands for renouncing her Muslim faith, condemning the treatment of women in many Muslim households and criticizing Dutch immigration and integration policies. She became internationally known when a film she wrote provoked the murder of its director, Theo van Gogh, by an Islamic radical in 2004. With her own life under threat, she went into hiding for three months, and still lives under 24-hour protection. The latest political storm followed the airing of a 30-minute TV documentary Thursday tracing her steps from Somalia, where her father was an imprisoned opposition politician, to her family's exile in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Kenya. Hirsi Ali repeated on the TV documentary that when she arrived in 1992 she changed her name from Hirsi Magan and her birth date on her asylum application and did not tell the authorities that she had lived in three different countries since leaving Somalia. "I invented a story that would be consistent with the conditions for asylum," she told The Associated Press. Source: AP, May 13, 2006

No problem Burhan. Y. Warsame Ahemd...........

^^^ Oh ok, now that scares the delights out of me..

^^^ I dont think its his job to attack any city, attacking Marka will not bring back stability. Empowering the people of Marka now thats a different ball game...

^^^ Xiin, you are wrogly reading the situation. Its quite simple to blame everything on the boggy man Ethiopia. The issue is not about Ethiopia, but the internal political conflict . The warlords have supporters in the Parliment inclusing Sharif Xasan and amongest their clan deputies. Secondly, it was Xasan Dahir, Abdiqasin who initally supported the cripling of the government, remember the Balcad meeting of the clan when Dahir Aways, Inda Cade were sitting with Suudi, Qaynyare and Co. The situation was not ripe, it is changing now. Ethiopia recently tried hard to mediade between the TFG and Mohamed Dheere and they campaigned for Jowhar and lost. Things are changing and Abdullahi is making all the right noises. It is up to the Parliment but he has underlined his personal view that the warlords position is untenable. Today their clans, supporters such as Sharif will find it hard to disagree...

^^^ Maybe, but there is no movement of the power or influance in Somaliland or in Puntland that compares to the Courts in Mogadishu. The courts and the religious movement in Xamar are very popular. They are the key to opening up the city. The religious groups are serious and reasonable. This battle for Mogadishu has shown how out of touch the warlords have become and how weak all the armed groups in Mogadishu are. This strengthens the [TFG] as they are not faced with anything resembling a millitary army. Thus it will only be a short time before it is recognised the strongest millitary player in the country...

^^^ So he should attack Kismayu or Marka, while there is a war in Mogadishu. No, no no. There must be another way. The government needs to secure Baido and the surrounding areas and hope that logic prevails in the south. Hiiraal, Osman Ato, Hussain Aideed have not been involved in anything like this nor have they obstructed the government. It is Qaynyare, Musa, Finish, Bootan who should be sacked...

Comrad, if he declares war on the courts he strengthens the position of those who oppose him. The fact that these courts are largely based around a single clan will not help him in anyway. What [TFG] needs to do is avoid this conflict and then try to open negotiations with the courts. They could be incorporated into the governemnt and their armed groups into the new security forces. Now the courts are not as unified as some here would like to belive they are made up of a number of independent entities, Ifka-Xalin, Al-Furqan, Chircolle and so on. If Xasan Dahir becomes stuborn, then so be it there are other even more powerful players in the various courts. The TFG should avoid the warlords altogether including, Inda cade, Goobale and concentrate on dealing with the heads of the courts, business community and hold open and constructive negotiations with the clans of Mogadishu in order to bring peace and security and restore its status as the centre of the Somali world. In Lebenon Hizbullah are in the Parliment, Palastine has Hamas in government and even the banned Muslim Brotherhood are playing a role in Egyptian politics. Why should our TFG not have representatives of the powerful and pupular courts from Mogadishu? .

Nice game, my condolences to the Hammers, Liverpoor desereved it. Steven Gerard what a player...

Urur Sheegtay Mas'uuliyada Qaraxii xalay lala Beegsaday Xarunta Consyern ee Magaalada Marka Posted to the MOL May 14, 2006, 9:38 am Marka:-Waxaa xalay abaarihii 7:00 fiidnimo lala beegsaday Bamgacmeed xarunta hay'adda Conseyrn ee ku tiilay magaalada Marko ee gobolka Sh/hoose iyadoo halkaasina aysan waxba ku noqon shaqaalihii ama mas'uuliyiintii hay'addaasi oo la sheegay inay ku jireen gudaha. Qaraxan ayaa qeyb ka ahaa qaraxyo is daba joog ah oo maalmihii ugu dambeeyay lala beegsanayay goobo muhiim ah oo ku yaala xarunta gobolkaasi ee Marka kaasoo qaraxii midkan ka horeeyey lala beegsaday xarunta idaacadda Hornafrik ay ku leedahay halkaasi iyo sidoo kale saldhiga Booliska degmada, iyadoo maamulkuna uu ku soo rogay magaalada Bandow habeenkii ah. Qaraxyadan ayaa waxaa sheegtay urur la baxay New Biiram oo la sheegay inay aasaaseen dhalinyarada beesha Biyamaal ee degta dhulkaasi, waxaana u hadlay ururkaasi nin sheegay inuu yahay xoghayahooda oo lagu magacaabo Maxaad C/llaahi Siciid “Anaga ayaa ka dambeyna qaraxyada ka dhacaya magaalada Marka iyo dhamaan gobolka Sh/hoose waxaana diidanahay caburinta maamulka xoog ku qabsaday dhulkeena, waxaana digniin u jeedineynaa dhamaan hay'addaha inay ka baxaan gobolka†ayuu yiri xoghaye Maxaad oo intaasi ku daray in aysan joojin doonin qaraxyada ay wadaan. Waa markii ugu horeysay ee qarax ka dhacay gudaha dalka Soomaaliya ay sheegtaan koox marka laga reebo dhulalka reer ********iya, waxayna arrintani utun ku noqoneysaa maamulka gobolka Sh/hoose ee uu madaxda u yahay Sheekh Yuusuf Max'ed Siyaad Indhacadde.

^^^ Your comments are valid. However I belive the President means if there are terror suspects in Somalia as the US claims then they must go through the poper channels in order to get at them. They must provide clear evidance and it would be a matter for law enforcement. Also if they [uS] are serious about their claims then assist the TFG in building up its capability. This is the only way to ensure success, financing renegade warlords to shell the capital is not in the interest of the US.

If the courts can take Mogadishu and are savvy enough to bring it into order, it will be progress for all. But that has not come about yet...

Xabbad joojinta Beesha Mudullood oo maanta la dhaqan gelinayo & labada dhinac oo soo dhoweey Xaaladda degaanada SIISII ee dagaaladu ka socdeen toddobaad ayaa laga dareemayaa jawi degan oo inkastoo rasaas goosgoos ah ay laba dhinac is weydaarsanayaan, saakana laga maqlayay goobaha ay labada dhinac isku hor fadhiyaan rasaas ay is weydaarsanayaan. Kulamadii waxgaradka, siyaasiyiinta iyo odaayasha Beesha Mudulood ayaa xalay shirkoodii ugu danbeeyay ee xarunta Mowlaca Sheekh Muxyadiin ee magaalada Muqdisho ka soo saaray go’aanno dhowr ah oo gaareen, kuwaasoo uu shaaca ka qaaday Dr. Xuseen Sheekh Axmed Kadare. Kadare wuxuu sheegay in Muddulood ay go’aansadeen: = In dagaalada Muqdisho ka socda si shuruud la’aan ah loo joojiyo. = In dagaalada macnadarrada ah ee mabda’a lahayn laga daayo Muqdisho. = Inuu Muddulood dib u dhiso dhaqankiisa, maadaama uu habac galay. = Iyo in laga waantoobo colaad danbe. Wuxuu intaas ku daray in guddiyo loo magacaabay xabbad joojinta iyo lakulanka labada dhinac oo xiriiro ay la sameeyeen, ayna maanta bilaabi doonaan dhaqan gelinta heshiiska, wuxuuna si cad u sheegay in ciddii diida nabadda Muddulood dhinaca ka noqon doono, Kulanka go’aankaas laga soo saaray waxaa xubnihii ka qeyb galay ka mid ahaa Cali Mahdi Maxamed, Dr. Xuseen Xaaji Bood iyo xubno kale oo ka badan 40. Dhinaca kale guddoomiyaha Midowga Maxkamadaha Sheekh Shariif Sh. Axmed ayaa sheegay inuu waafaqsan yahay isla markaana ay dhinacooda tageerayaan go’aanada kasoo baxay Beesha Muddulood, isagoo sheegay inay hore nabadda diyaar ugu ahaayeen, balse markasta oo xabbad joojin ku dhawaaqaan la soo weerarayay. Nuur Daqle oo hoggaamiya maleeshiyada taabacsan Isbaheysiga ee degaanka SIISII ka dagaalameysa ayaa isna inay diyaar u yihiin nabad, ayna qaadanayaan go’aanadda ka soo baxay Beesha Mudullood, wuxuuse sheegay in weli weerar lagu wado oo degaankoodii loogu yimid, iyaguna ay difaac yihiin. Dadaalka waxgaradka beesha Mudullood ugu jiraan nabad ka gaarista dagaalada lagu hoobtay ee deegaanadooda ka dhacay ayaa ah kan ugu dhow ee laga rajo qabo inuu keeno xabbad joojin, kadin markii ay guuleysan waayeen dadaaladii kale oo dhan,

^^^ Never boasted but indeed, I am Somali who holds a British nationality, but none of my leaders have ever declared on my behalf that I was an orphan of the Queen...

leave it out mate. Hugo is welcome to our lovely abode...

^^^ This 80% control is ficion. The courts probably directly control no more than 25% and have further influance in 30%. There are news items that bogusly state that, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Islamic nations support the courts. The courts are supported by the population of the city and specilly the Business community. That is what gives them their strength..

^^^ Xogsade it is up to the parliment, and there were no incidents that he authorised anything on his own. Even the divisive issues of foreign troops and relocation wnet through the Parliment, hence the chair battle episode last March.... This time a united Parliment in Baidoa should be able to take action without too much fuss, and the President will have to sign up to it... As for squandered opportunity, were are all those who wasted a year on the fiction that Mogadishu was safe enought to operate in and that we should have taken the words of Qaynyare and Sudi Yalaxow... The TFG was right to avoid Mogadishu untill it was strong enough to impose the will of the people on it.

This war is not about hope, the courts are now on the back foot. They have been unable to take the Sisi district and the warlords are for once united in their objectives. For example they are reporting that Inda cade is stuck in Xamar as his route is blocked by A/qaybdeed and Co. Mogadishu residents need to rise up and force these people to take their guns, technicals and millitias out of the city. Even if either side wins all we will get is the clan court X ought clan court Y.

^^^ Sack them all.... The parliment should clear the deck and get rid of the whole government, a no confidance vote would send the right message..

Qanyare oo sheegay in aan isbahaysigu dagaalka joojin doonin Qanyare Wasiirka Ammaanka ee dowladda Soomaaliya, Maxamed Qanyare Afrax, oo ka mid ah xubnaha Isbahaysiga aan hoggaamiyaha lahayn ee la dagaallanka argagixsada, ayaa BBC-da u sheegay in dagaalka ay sii wadi doonaan ilaa ay dalka ka sifeynayaan waxa uu ugu yeeray xubnaha alqaacida. Waxaan u dagaallameynaa, ayuu yiri Qanyare, in aan laamaha alqaacida ka nadiifinno waddankeenna, dagaalkana waan sii wadi doonnaa. Markii la weydiiyay sida uu ku garan karo qofka alqaacida ah maaddaama uu Soomaali la dagaallamayo, Maxamed Qanyare waxaa uu ku jawaabay su'aal kale. Waxaa uu yiri: Yey ahaayeen kuwa burburiya meesha aad joogto {London}? Ururkee ka tirsanaayeen kuwa dadka rayidka ah dilayay ee tareennada London qarxinayay, xaggee ka yimaadeen? Waxay idiinkugu yimaadeen soo galooti ahaan ka dibna waxay billaabeen in ay idin dilaan. Qorshaha al Qaacida ayaa sidaas ah waxayna u dan leedahay in ay dal kasta xaqirto. Markaa waa in kooxda al Qaacida aan ka cirib tirno dalkan, ayuu raaciyay Qanyare. Maxaa isbahaysigiinnu doonaayaa si looga helo in uu joojiyo dagaalka iyo dilka dadka rayidka ah ayay ahayd su'aasha kale ee la weydiiyay, Maxamed Qanyare, wuxuuna ku jawaabay: Waxaan rabnaa in kooxda al Qaacidada ah ay keenaan dadka dambiilayaasha ah ee ay hayaan. Waxaad ogtahay, ayuu yiri, in la qarxiyay safaaraddii Mareykanka ee Kenya, dayaarad ay Israa'iil leedahay, Hoteelka Paradise ee Mombaasa, safaaradda Mareykanka ee Dar es Salam. Weriyaha ayaa markaa ka dhex galay oo yiri Arrimahaas midkoodna kama dhicin Soomaaliya. Marka maxaad ula dagaallamaysaan dadka Soomaaliya jooga si xal loogu helo dhibaatooyin ka dhacay Kenya? Ma ahan cadow Mareykan oo keliya ee waa cadowga qof kasta. Adiga laftaada waa kuu cadow. Dembiilayaashaasi, ayuu ku daray Qanyare, dalkan Soomaaliya ayay joogaan, dad ayaa ilaalinaya. Beesha caalamka ama duqeyda Soomaaliyeed ma keeni karaan wada xaajood gacan ka geysta sidii nabad lagu gaari lahaa mar la weydiiyay Qanyare wuxuu yiri: Yaad la xaajooneysaa? Ma waxaad la xaajoon kartaa dembiilayaasha halkan jooga. Haddii dooddaadu ay tahay dad Mareykan ah ayay qarxiyeen ee Soomaali may qarxin, waxaan kuu sheegayaa in caalamka oo dhami uu iska kaashanayo in sharciga la soo hortaago dembiilayaasha. Sababta aan ula dagaallameyno dadka al Qaacidada ahna waa sababtaas. Qanyare waxaa uu beeniyey in Mareykanku taageero Isbahaysiga uu isagu xubinta ka yahay, wuxuuna ku tilmaamay in ay arrintaasi ay tahay borobagaanda. Xaggeed hubka iyo lacagta ka heshaan markii la weydiiyay Maxamed Qanyare waxaa uu yiri hubka iyo lacagta awalba waan heysannay.
