Nice pics thanks mate. Muad intersting point, I have no idea though..

The dude who wrotte the article is from Mogadishu's big guns. And he illustrated the point nicely, its Abdullahi it waits for. Cause the big man is the President of all of Somalia, including the Berbera-Burco-Traingle As for Qudac bro you hellucinating, cause as I told you before Xamar is the Capital of Somalia and we will see how long you boys stay out of it. Alas you always were slow

Puntland will wait for no one. So people get the government back to Mogadishu and get things working then talk, before that happens let President Cade take care of business.

Yacquoub good questions bro. Wiilo and Juma who said only Mogadishu will get disarmed? When one is planning there must be prioritisation. Mogadishu is the capital of the nation, for 14 years it has suffered under these militias; there have also been many failed attempts to merge the various militias in order to get the security situation under control. If one needs proof we have the debacle of Arta and the example of what happened to Abdiqasin and his government in Mogadishu. There is no real alternative to the President’s plan. Start from scratch and create a whole new army and security forces that would be able to protect the state in this case form itself. As for the foreign troops, why should Mogadishu fear these troops as they would only come at the behest of the Somali government?

Nice pics, have you any of the town of Berbera? The sea looks real clear though, unlike our Blackpool

Mogadishu Will Only Be Safe Once Abdullahi Arrives The East African (Nairobi) OPINION January 17, 2005 Posted to the web January 18, 2005 Maxamed Xaaji Ingiriis Nairobi With clan conflicts, lack of rule of law and chaos rife, Somalia is not hospitable to its inhabitants - Somalis and non-Somalis alike. Recently, there was the murder of the mayor of Cadaado Mohamed Mohamud Siad "Suley" and the killing of the well-respected former army general, Mohamed Abdi Mohamed, just after he had said his prayers at a mosque in Mogadishu. There is much senseless killing going on, such as the recent fatal shootings of the general manager of Al-Barakaat, Abbas Abdi Ali, again, in front of a mosque, and that of a prominent lawyer in the street of Bakaraha. These men were real treasures for Somalia and their deaths are tragedies that the country can ill afford. It's not just in Mogadishu. In Hargeisa capital of somaliland, last week, two men who were related to Ismail Aden Osman, the Homeland Minister, were killed. Last year, there were murders of numerous foreign relief workers, including two British citizens, an Italian and a Kenyan national. Though Hargeisa enjoys relative peace, southern Somalia is a most perilous place to work. Lately, fierce fighting has flared up across the country. Inter-clan war backed by the fiendish business community of both sides is currently going on in the central regions of Hobyo and Gelinsor. Conflict also hit the Sool area, over a territorial dispute between Somaliland and Puntland. Certainly, these battles serve to entrench the image of Somalis the Western world as a people who possess neither rules for war nor any kind of rule of law. But the traditional history of Somalia is against that. Our ancestors had a customary code of law called Xeer, which was used to defuse hostilities among clans and elders went to great lengths to placate tensions among them. Today, wicked politics dominate our culture, brushing aside the traditional Xeer. British journalist Joseph Winter writes, "Guns have become a part of everyday life in Somalia." A French aid worker by the true conception as saying "Somalia is a country where everybody wants to shoot everybody." The reality of Somalia is that warlords incite their militias to create and occupy power vacuums, aggravating the cycle of atrocities in the process. "The sooner the people of Somalia are helped to get rid of warlords, the sooneranother potential safe haven for terrorists will have been removed from the map," an exiledSomali professor wrote last year. But the most basic challenge is how to interpret the problems of a population that shares a common religion, ethnicity, language, culture and so much more, which became fragmented. Somalia was among countries affected by the tsunami tragedy. The UN aid agencies and other international aid organisations hesitated to send rescue teams, food and clean water, citing lack of security. Hundreds of people reportedly died in the disaster and the scale of the tragedy turned out to be greater than it was first presumed. Harried by bandits with guns, people across the country still need urgent recovery from the wounds of war, and even the armed militias would not oppose their much needed rehabilitation. But even after a two-year long process of peace talks culminating in a government of national unity accommodating warlords that was approved in Kenya almost three months ago, the government is yet to relocate to Somalia. One of the reasons is that elected President Col Abdullahi Yusuf is not from Mogadishu, but from northeastern region of Puntland, which has no influence on what is happening in the country's most important yet most volatile city - the capital, Mogadishu. The president himself reportedly said in a meeting in Nairobi with his clan that, "Mogadishu has too many warlords and too many technical-wagons, and so it is not pragmatic to move to a city without law and order." Doesn't Mr Yusuf grasp that he's the one that the ordinary people are waiting for, the one to whom they're looking to set up a police force and reinstate stability, or is he just good at throwing the first stone at peace?

Summary Traditional elder of Hargaysa put in jail because he stated that he once believed in Federalism ala Somaliweyn[a henious crime in them parts]. He also agreed with the call of another Suldan to hold a major meeting of their clan in order to discuss the current situation of the area which they reside. He is the second traditional leader to be treated this way by the Riiyaale regime. We need to keep a close watch on this, because they might charge the poor man with spaying or being a Puntland double agent

America suffers bloodiest day as Bush calls on Iraqis to defy the insurgents By Patrick Cockburn in Baghdad and Kim Sengupta in Shaiba 27 January 2005 Just four days before Iraq's historic elections, 36 US soldiers were killed yesterday in the deadliest single day for American forces since they invaded Iraq almost two years ago. The heaviest loss was a transport helicopter crash in the western desert that killed all 31 Marines on board. The CH-53 Sea Stallion went down at 1.20am near Rutbah, a desolate town 220 miles from Baghdad. Officials in Washington said that bad weather was the most likely cause. Four more US Marines were killed in ground fighting in Anbar province, which includes Ramadi and Fallujah, west of Baghdad, and a soldier was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade north of the capital. The losses bring the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq since the start of the war to more than 1,400, with more than 10,000 wounded. At a press conference in Washington, President George Bush acknowledged that the news would be "very discouraging" to the American people. "We value life," he said, "and we weep and mourn when soldiers lose their life". But he ignored growing calls in Congress for the administration to at least set a timetable for withdrawal of most US troops, insisting American forces would remain in sufficient numbers to ensure "the job is done", and the Iraqis were able to defend themselves. Despite the bloody cost of the war, the President stressed "the long-term objective, and that is to spread freedom". Sunday's elections, he predicted, would be "a grand day in the history of Iraq", though he declined to specify what would be a satisfactory turnout. An hour later, the Senate confirmed Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State by a margin of 85 to 13, overriding fierce criticism from some Democrats that she had misled the country over the reasons for going to war. Ms Rice did draw more opposition than any secretary of state in recent history, more than the seven votes cast against Henry Kissinger in 1973, and the six objecting to Alexander Haig in 1981. Her predecessor Colin Powell was confirmed unanimously. The latest surge in casualties may divert public attention in the US from the election. The US has lost 33 helicopters in Iraq, of which 20 were shot down. In the worst incident before yesterday, two helicopters carrying soldiers collided over Mosul in northern Iraq in November 2003, while trying to avoid ground fire. Seventeen men were killed and five wounded. A Chinook helicopter was shot down by a shoulder-launched heat-seeking missile fired from a date grove near Fallujah the same month, killing 16 soldiers. Helicopters now fly low and fast to give insurgents firing at them less time to aim. The roar as they fly just above roof-top level in Baghdad often sets off a cacophony of car alarms. Though flying low may make them less vulnerable, it also makes reconnaissance and surveillance by helicopter more difficult. Yesterday, two suicide car-bombs were detonated on the airport road, the most lethal highway in Iraq, which is heavily patrolled by US armoured vehicles. Seven soldiers were wounded. Last November the British embassy told its staff not to use this road. Although the interim Iraqi government claims 14 out of 18 provinces are safe, Iraqi truck drivers say the only safe provinces are the three Kurdish ones in the north. The guerrillas appear to have an inexhaustible supply of young men willing to be suicide bombers. In the Sunni Arab town of Riyadh south-west of the oil city of Kirkuk, three suicide cars filled with explosives blew up close to an Iraqi army post and a police station yesterday. Four Iraqi policemen, two Iraqi soldiers and three civilians were killed, and 12 wounded. An approaching US combat team came under fire and two soldiers were wounded. The insurgents, many different and loosely co-ordinated groups but all opposed to the election, reject the vote as illegitimate because it is in effect being held under the auspices of the US as the occupying power. In the latest attempt to disrupt polling, a suicide bomber detonated a fuel tanker at an office of a major Kurdish political party yesterday, in Sinjar, a town a few miles south-west of Mosul, killing 15 people and injuring 30, officials of the Kurdistan Democratic Party said. The insurgent group led by al-Qa'ida's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for the attack. The KDP is one of the two largest Kurdish political organisations in Iraq, and part of a coalition of 11 Kurdish groups for the elections. A video is circulating of a hooded fighter with a pistol who says: "We are mujahedin in the province of Nineveh [Mosul]. What they call elections have no basis in the Islamic religion and that's why we will hit all the election centres." The US military keeps reporting they are fighting a group called AIF, for Anti-Iraqi Forces. US intelligence says 95 per cent of the insurgents are Iraqis. 27 January 2005 14:01 Search this site: Printable Story

Bloodiest day for US forces in Iraq Wednesday 26 January 2005, 18:52 Makka Time, 15:52 GMT US Marine Corps has declined to provide details of the crash A US Marine Corps helicopter has crashed in western Iraq killing 31 people, US military officials said. The military said in a statement on Wednesday: "A US Marine Corps transport helicopter crashed on 26 January at approximately 1.20am (2220 GMT Tuesday) near al-Rutbah while conducting security and stabilisation operations." Speaking to Aljazeera from Ramadi, Muhammad Abd al-Rahman, an independent Iraqi journalist, said a US military Chinook helicopter used for carrying cargo as well as troops, had come down in a remote desert area in Widyan district, east of Rutba town on the Iraq-Jordan border. He said local residents reported seeing several US military helicopters on low-altitude flights over the area where the crash took place, which is apparently beyond the reach of civilians. It is a known fact that US forces use transport aircraft for ferrying both goods and troops in response to frequent attacks on US convoys on Iraq's roads, Abd al-Rahman said. But as these aircraft fly at relatively slow speeds and at low altitudes, they are vulnerable to rocket attacks by fighters who can fire and withdraw. No group has claimed responsibility for the downing of the helicopter so far, he added. The US Marines declined to provide the cause of the crash. It said a search-and-rescue operation was under way. The statement said casualties would be confirmed later.In a separate incident, four US marines were killed in the western province of Anbar on Wednesday, the military said in a statement. If confirmed, the single-day number of US fatalities would reach 35, bringing to 1416 the number of US military personnel killed in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion. The crash came as US-led forces, Iraqi national guardsmen, interim government offices and other election targets were hit around the country.

Four U.S. Marines were killed during combat in Iraq's Al-Anbar province, and a U.S. soldier died when insurgents attacked a combat patrol north of Baghdad, according to the U.S. military. The cause of the chopper crash was not immediately known and is being investigated, according to the military. Wednesday's death toll surpassed the 31 U.S. forces killed on March 23, 2003 -- four days after the start of the war in Iraq. Twenty-nine of them died in combat that day. Wednesday's incidents brought the U.S. death toll in the war to 1,417. The transport helicopter crashed near Ar Rutbah in western Iraq about 1:20 a.m. local time (5:20 p.m. Tuesday ET). (Map) It was carrying personnel from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and the 1st Marine Division. Military officials said a search and rescue team was at the site and an investigation of the crash was under way. The four Marines who died Wednesday were killed during combat operations in Iraq's Al-Anbar province, according to a military news release. The Marines were assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Ar Rutbah is also in Al-Anbar province. Elsewhere, a U.S. soldier was killed Wednesday when insurgents attacked a combat patrol with grenades near Ad Duluiyah, military officials said. The soldier, from the 1st Infantry Division, died and two others were wounded in the attack about 11:20 a.m. (3:20 a.m. ET). The injured were taken to a military hospital for treatment; one was in serious condition. Five Iraqis killed Four multinational soldiers were wounded Wednesday when a car bomb exploded near a convoy in southwestern Baghdad, along the road to the city's airport, a source with the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division said. The attack took place about 10 a.m. (2 a.m. ET) on the road, which has been one of the country's bloodiest locations in recent months. The nationalities of the wounded soldiers were not immediately known. U.S. troops sealed off the area after the explosion. In Tamin province, also on Wednesday, three car bombs within an hour killed five Iraqis and injured six other people, according to the police chief in Kirkuk. The bombs exploded between 11 a.m. and noon (3 and 4 a.m. ET), said Maj. Gen. Torhan Abdul Rahman. The first was in the town of Riyadh, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Kirkuk, and targeted a police station, he said. Three Iraqi police officers were killed and three civilians injured. The second detonated outside the Riyadh mayor's office, killing two Iraqi soldiers. The third bomb exploded outside Riyadh and targeted a U.S. military convoy. Three other Iraqi civilians were wounded. Insurgents attacked the offices of two political parties in Baquba on Wednesday, triggering clashes that left an Iraqi police officer dead and four others wounded -- three of them working as guards for the parties, Baquba police said. The insurgents used grenades and small arms fire to attack the Kurdish Democratic Party office and the office of the Iraqi Patriotic Gathering Alliance about 6:30 a.m. (10:30 p.m. Tuesday ET), police said, and the resulting battles lasted two hours. In al-Nahrawan, a southeastern suburb of Baghdad, city council leader Karim Sarhan was gunned down Wednesday morning in a drive-by shooting on his way to work, Iraqi police said. Three government employees were shot and killed in attacks Tuesday, according to police. Three Baghdad schools to be used as polling centers in Sunday's election were attacked Tuesday night, an Iraqi police officer said. A bomb planted at a fourth school was defused. About 8 p.m. (noon ET), Salah al-Deen school in northern Baghdad was damaged when insurgents threw a grenade at it, authorities said. Thirty minutes later, a bomb exploded near the main gate of Al-Fursan school in southeast Baghdad, causing damage, police said. About 10:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET), Al-Balquees school in northern Baghdad was damaged when it was hit by a rocket, police said. About 90 minutes later, experts defused a bomb planted near al-Yemen school in al-Gazaliyah neighborhood in western Baghdad. Iraqis go to the polls Sunday, and U.S. and Iraqi officials have been warning that insurgents would ramp up their attacks in a bid to derail the vote. On Tuesday, a high-ranking official in Iraq's Justice Ministry was gunned down in a drive-by shooting as he was leaving his home southeast of Baghdad, police said. A group calling itself the Army of Ansar al-Sunnah claimed responsibility for the attack on Judge Qais Hashim al-Shonmari, and warned of more attacks to come. Shonmari's son was also killed in the shooting.

Like it or not ignore it if you want, we wont let the story go untill the girl is out.

Peace welcome to SOL. Its an ok place, gets hot some times. Just give your opinion and be yourself. As for an AK, wait till I get my hands on one Juma, you just wait :mad:

I gree with Qudac, these people should be pardoned. I know I aint nothing to gain frm them being in the cold. Bring them all back.

“If Nationalist is to be brought back, then Otali, Nasir and many of those who broke the rules would have to be brought back also.†I think a pardon and a warning to all would be a good reflection on the admin, a very good suggestion.
