Mogadishu is the eternal capital of the Somali's. Yet the government looks like moving to Badoa for a temporary period untill the situation in Mogadishu is put under control.

Abwan brother here are two articles from today that illustrates my point- one is the deteriorating situation in Kismayu. The other the support of parts of Somalia for the foreign troops. Kismaayo: Iska Horimaad Maanta Ka Dhacay Kismaayo iyo Saraakiishii ciidamada Soomaaliya ee Beledweyne ku Sugan oo tageeray Go'aankii Xukuumada Soomaaliya ee Keenista Ciidamada Shisheeye - Monday, February 07, 2005 at 18:57 Kismaayo: Iska Horimaad Maanta Ka Dhacay Kismaayo Kismaayo (AllPuntland)- Waxaa maanta duhurnimadii iska horimaad uu ku dhexmaray magaalada Kismaayo gudeheeda laba maleeshiyo oo mid ka mid ahi ay wadatay Gaari tikniko ah.

Abwan I read the article brother. Very touching but whats that got to do with us? Take the past week. We have a minister under siege in Kismayu, the government he is part of and his own faction the JVA could not help him We had a welcoming party for the government officials, yet a short distance there was a gun battle between two new factions. We have ongoing conflict in Mudug and Galgaduud in which hundreds if not thousands are affected. The main ports of southern Somalia are closed down from Mogadishu to Kismayu. The people are in bondage. So what should the government do, should it watch take the money in which its members wait to contest a new election maybe in Tanzania or Gabon. Or should it try to change the situation? Lets not be emotional, can we take this forever. For if we dont have a government we will be under Adis Ababa, then what? Abwan again please give me a different solution to the problem.

but most analyst say that this so called government will split in two one going to baidabo and one to muqdisho then after that the comedy will probally start We had this when Abdullahi was elected. When Geedi lost the confidence vote. When he announced his second cabinet. When Musa spoke. Come dont your analyst ever get anything right. The government has been welcomed in Mogadishu, its a victory for the people obviously not some people It has a plan and its implementing it. It has not rushed but people are rushing it for their own selfish reasons. As for Dayniile.com, when Qaynyare is happy they are happy when Qaynyare farts they also fart. Can we say it speaks for anyone but the security chief who happens to support the President

NGOON I hear that the AU is only offering 7000 soldiers! Surely that number is so small it wont even be adequate enough as a ceremonial guard for president Yusuf! Now we millitary experts huh. Of course you know better than the President of Somalia a millitary man all his life. The African forces are not occupiers but peace keepers. They will be boosted by Somali loyal groups from Hiiraan, Jowhar, Central regions, Bay&Bakool, Juba and Banadir. The foreign forces will bring the expertise thats lacking from the Somali troops.

Abwan Who said anything about Ethiopean forces? If we didnt destroy our nation we would not be in the situation that we find ourself's in today. As a Somali I am ashamed that any troops hsould come to our homeland to disarm us. But desperate times call for desperate measures. We need these troops to bring about the restoration of the republic. Can you kindly present a way out in which we could avoid the need for such forces.

SHAANDHIGGA IGAD EE CIIDAMADA LOOGU SOO DIRAYO SOOMAALIYA MASUUL KA TIRSAN IGAD Peter Marwa: «Khatar way jirtaa, laakiin dalalka IGAD waxay diyaar u yihiin inay khatartaas ku talagalaan» WARBIXIN DHEER Waxaa qabanqaabo loogu jiraa sidii loo diyaarin lahaa ciidamo ka socda Afrika gaar ahaan dalalka IGAD oo Soomaaliya loo soo daabulayo si ay amniga u soo celiyaan, howlgalkii ugu horeeyay ee noociisa ah oo Afrika isku daydo in dal burburay ay dib nabad iyo dowladnimo ku soo celiso. Howshan ayaa ah mid degdeg ah oo dalalka IGAD ay ku balanqaadeen inay dhabarka u ritaan, waxaana sida ay sheegaayaan Khubarada qabanqaabineysa arrintan dalalka qeybta ka noqonaya ay kala yihiin: Itoobiya, Uganda, Kenya, Jabuuti, & Suudaan, (waxaa dalalk IGAD ka maqan dalka Ereteriya). Dhibaatada howlgalkan ayay diblomaasiyiin ku sugan Nairobi sheegaaan inuusan ahayn oo kaliya tusaale xun ee fashilka ah, horena Q/Mid-oobay ugu jabtay dalkaasi, balse ay sidoo kale qaar ka mida mas’uuliyiinta dowladda aaminsan yihiin inaan loo baahneyn ciidamo shisheeye iyo gaar ahaan kuwa dalalka deriska ah. “Khatar ayaa jirta, laakiin dalalka howlgalka ka qeyb qaadanaya waxay diyaar u yihiin inay halistaas galaan, waxaana dadaalka socdaa uu yahay sida ugu dhaqsiyaha badan in ciidamada loo geeyo dalkasi†ayuu yiri Peter Marwa oo ka mida saraakiisha IGAD ugu qaabilsan dhexdhexaadinta horena u ahaa sarkaal milateri. Ciidamada IGAD ee Soomaaliya ayaa ogolaansho uga baahan Midowga Afrika iyo waliba Q/Midoobay si ay u noqdaan ciidamo awood sharciyeed huwan, waxaana maalgelin looga raadinayaa dalalka deeqda bixiya iyadoo lala kaashadayo Midowga Afrika, Mr. Marwa wuxuu qabanqaabinayaa kulanka Wasiirada Gaashaandhigga IGAD ku ye-elan doonaan magaalada Kampala ee dalka Uganda, kaasoo lagu go’aamin doono qorshaha nabad ilaalinta IG-AD ee Sooamaliya, wuxuuna caddeeyay in shirkaasi la iskula meel dhigi doono qod-obo ay ka mid yihiin: = In waqti loo sameeyo howlgalka ciidamada IGAD. = In la cayimo tirada ciidamada la keenayo dalka. = Howlgallada ay tahay inay qabtaan = Iyo Awooda ay yeelan doonaan in cidda ay amarkeeda ku shaqeyn doonaan. Waxaa Soomaaliya shirkaas uga qeyb geli doona Wasiirka Gaashaandhigga, inkastoo aan weli la magacaabin Taliyaha Ciidamada dalka, waxaana laga soo xigtay madaxweyne C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed inuusan Muqdisho tegeynin haddii ayan ciidamo ka socda Afrika ugu horeyn halkaasi, isagoo tageersan inay Itoobiya ka mid noqoto dalalka ciidamada soo diraya. Wasiirka arrimaha gudaha ee xukuumadda Soomaaliya ayaa ku doodaya in arrintu qabyo tahay oo aanay marnaba dhici karin in dalalka deriska la ah Soomaaliya inay ciidamo soo diraan, basle ay bixin karaan taakuleyn iyo qalab, taasoo muujineysa inuu ka soo degay mucaaradnimadii ciidamada oo iminka uu diidan yahay dalalka deriska ah, waxaa jira wasiiro iyo xildhibaanno kale oo guud ahaanba diidan ciidamo dalka la keeno, wax-ayna arrimtu si buuxda u kala caddaan doontaa marka la hor geeyo Baarlamaanka. Diblomaasiyiin la socota arrinta Soomaaliya ayaa sheegay in ciidamada nabad ilaalineed ee Soomaaliya la geynayo lagu kala qeybsan yahay, diidmada ugu weyni waxay ka imaaneysaa koox-aha islaamiga ah ee fadhigoodu yahay Muqdisho, waxaana sidoo kale diidan wasiiro ka mida xukuumadda. Dalalka Suudaan iyo Uganda ayaan wax xasaasiyad ah dhalineynin, iyadoo ay Suudaan tahay dal islaam ah oo dowladda ka talisaa ay ciidameeda u badan yihiin muslim, laakiin dalalka Itoobiya, Kenya ayaa si weyn looga qabaa diidmo ka timid taariikh soo jireen ah oo xiisado hore uga dhex dhacay ah Soomaalida.

Why Somalia needs foreign troops. 1- Lack of national security forces. Since the fall of the last Somali government we have been left with clan militias in the south who do not have the capability to bring order eve in their neighbourhoods. Example of these are JVA, SPM, USC/SNA and it many splinter groups. 2- The various warlords and clan leaders are suspicious of each other and would not let one disarm the other. Therefore the responsibility for disarming and bringing security needs to be left to a third party under the control of the Somali cabinet. Example of this is 3- There has to be a visible deterrent to those who would want to confront the Somali government. Backed up with loyal Somali militia this force can easily secure the national institution and economic centres of the country. So-called Islamic courts, Independent militia pose a direct threat 4- The foreign troops could aid in the area of recruitment and training the new Somali security forces. This is vital as the former officers are dead, sick or too old. 5- Looking at the failed track record of Abdiqasin, Mahdi and Aydeed who relied overtly on their clan militias which at the time were amongst the most powerful in the country. Who is against this program? This is an important question and one that needs to be answered. I will take out the secessionist from the equation for they are not important here. From what I have seen the majority of people are just resisting change, they are afraid things might turn out bad. This is natural, others a minority are trying to undermine this effort as they believe what they have achieved in the war years will be undone. This group are the ones who are feeding the masses with lies and wailing from the top of their lungs. Yet the simple fact is that law and order is good for the common masses and that they the people cannot be fooled every time.

I disagree with the assumption that foreign troops are not needed. Why havent they[Mogadishu leaders] been able to open the port and airport in the city? Why havent they[previous governments] been able to stop the often daily clan fueds? A well trained well armed impartial force with a clear mandate and uder the control of the Somali cabinet would be able to do wonders. This would send a clear message that the government is serious about changing the situation. For example look at Kismayu, we have a new faction leader openly challanging the previously strong man and minister Hiiraale, their little feud left a number dead and injured. Hobyo-Galinsoor clan battles has seen nearly 200 dead. In other parts of the country all it takes is an argument to create havoc. Why havent the faction leaders and clans brought about peace in the examples above? Even in Mogadishu yesterday there was a clan battle that left a number of dead, without an effective force backed up by a political agenda this nonsence will continue. One fact that some folks like Juma and Horn overlook is. Abdiqasin received an even bigger welcome. His clan was one of the most armed and toughest in the city. He made deals with Ato and Qaynyare and had the blessing of the so-called Islamic courts. However he achieved nothing his government was labeled a failure. I belive he listened to the same voices that cry out now "We can do it ourselfs" I agree with President Yusuf we need outside help for a little while as we get our act together.

MPs Return to Somalia, Cabinet Backs Peace Force By Mohamed Ali Bile MOGADISHU (Reuters) - The Somali government took a fresh step toward establishing itself on home soil on Sunday when a second team of officials including a senior minister flew from Kenya to Mogadishu to assess security in the failed state. Five thousand Somalis who had waited six hours cheered when 50 MPs including the speaker of parliament and the national security minister entered a Mogadishu stadium, the second team of MPs to arrive in a week to ready the government's return. "We did not expect such huge numbers of people," a delighted Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan, speaker of a 275-member assembly formed at peace talks in neighboring Kenya, told the crowd. "This encourages us that Somalis want peace and government. It was not true when people said Somalis refuse to be governed." "The government should come to Mogadishu. They are welcome," read banners waved by ululating women as traditional dancers bowed and leapt. Similar scenes had greeted a team of lawmakers who returned home on Thursday. Many of the MPs are expected to return to Kenya later this week to report on security conditions to Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf and Prime Minister Mohamed Ali Gedi. Created at peace talks across the border because of security problems at home, their transitional federal government aims to end fighting between militias who have ruled Somalia since warlords ousted military ruler Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991. Diplomats say the re-establishment of the government in Somalia is a key condition for foreign donor funding for its attempts to rebuild an effective national administration. The cabinet on Saturday backed a plan for the deployment of up to 7,500 foreign peacekeepers drawn from members of the African Union and Arab League and will submit its decision to the parliament for final approval, a minister said. "The concept of the Peace Support Mission will be to assist the government in peace-making and protecting assets of the government such as the port, airport and other sensitive sites," information minister Mohamud Ali Jama told Reuters. The mission might also have a training and peace monitoring role. The expanded cabinet sitting, including ministers of state and deputy ministers, voted for the plan by 63-9, he said. The government is Somalia's 14th attempt at creating an effective central administration since 1991 -- to date an effort that has been repeatedly torpedoed by warlords who carved the country of about 10 million into clan-based fiefdoms. The topic of foreign peacekeepers is controversial in Mogadishu. Unidentified gunmen have carried out a string of recent murders of security or education experts, killings widely seen as signs of opposition from a determined minority to Yusuf and his plan to bring in foreign troops. Among Sunday's delegation was National Security Minister Mohamed Qanyare Afrah who told the crowd: "All these thousands of people want international African forces to come to Somalia." Qanyare is one of several powerful Mogadishu faction leaders serving in the cabinet who will be required to disarm their militias as the new government strives to rebuild a national security force with the backing of foreign peacekeepers. Somali intellectual Ahmad Warsame, reflecting widespread suspicion of neighbor Ethiopia, told Reuters: "African forces should come here. They are welcome. But not Ethiopians." Somalis resent what they see as attempts by Ethiopia to dominate the Horn of Africa and install a client regime in Mogadishu. Ethiopia, a historic competitor of its Muslim neighbors, is wary of overt Islamist influence in the region.

Thousands Welcome New Somalia Government ALEXANDRA ZAVIS Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia - Thousands of flag-waving Somalis lined the streets of this war-scarred city Sunday to welcome representatives of a new government formed in neighboring Kenya in a bid to end 14 years of anarchy in this Horn of Africa nation. Shariif Hassan Sheikh Aden, who heads a 275-member transitional parliament, and a delegation of 60 lawmakers and Cabinet ministers landed at an airstrip run by one of Mogadishu's main warlords. The group will assess conditions for the government's relocation from Nairobi, Kenya, where it operates because many of its members consider Mogadishu too dangerous. About 30 lawmakers arrived last week to prepare for the visit. Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi also is expected to arrive in coming days. But President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, a northerner viewed with suspicion in the former capital, has not said when he will return. Clan elders, faction leaders, businessmen and other civil society representatives gave the delegation a warm welcome with much hugging and backslapping. A police band played the national anthem and aging military officers formed an honor guard. Leaders of the city's Islamic courts, seeking to establish their influence in the absence of a national authority, declined to attend, saying they could only support a government founded on Islamic law. The delegation drove through town in a large convoy past thousands of cheering, clapping Somalis waving flowers, flags and branches with green leaves. The scores of vehicles included pickup trucks full of armed militia fighters. The convoy stopped at a square crowded with more than 10,000 people so the delegation could exchange greetings with them. Ali Abdallah Mohamed, who fled fighting in central Somalia, brought his seven children to watch the convoy go by. "Since my children were born, they have never seen a government," he said, smiling. Somalia has had no central government since 1991, when opposition leaders ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. They then turned on each other, carving the nation of 7 million people and its former capital into a patchwork of heavily armed clan-based fiefdoms. A new government was formed last year after complex negotiations between warlords, clan elders and civil society leaders. But members already are divided over whether international peacekeepers are needed to secure their return to Somalia and which city to base themselves in. The government has no budget, no civil service or even buildings to meet in here. On Saturday, the Cabinet approved a presidential request for African Union troops to help disarm rival militias, rebuild national security forces and protect his government. But the request angered many in Mogadishu, where the deployment of American and United Nations troops in the 1990s sparked some of the worst fighting of the war. Osman Hassan Ali Atto, a warlord-turned-Cabinet minister, was quoted on local radio Saturday as saying Mogadishu residents would never accept a return of foreign troops. Some Islamic militants have threatened to attack any foreign troops that come here. But others fear the major factions will not disarm among themselves. The African Union has agreed to send a force, but officials privately say it will be limited in size and scope. Uganda has promised 2,000 troops. Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya and Sudan also have pledged to support the peace mission.

Qudac, its about the future of Somalia the people welcomed their leaders to our capital today. Like people said all along the people want a government and the old clan lies dont hold much water anymore. Also stop personalisng things you sound like some sore loser, why is that? A government headed by Abdullahi Yusuf has been recieved like this? What happened to all the false predictions, that there will be war? First time ever Somali government officials have been able to visit, the Port, Villa Somalia and bring to government all the most powerful faction leaders and clan heads. Like always some folks move the goal post a little further. Truth is people need a government with teeth, this is what is being created. A government that can bite back and bring tha nations confidence back. I have been celebrating all day because now there is a real window of opportunity one that must be taken.
