^^^lol@leadership quality. Good on ya love, I wish your hero had that quality you were born with..

^^^lol, lazy like your hero Shrif..

^^^Indeed, but banning Al Shabaab will have much better effect..

^^^lol. depends on the workload, but I got allot flexibility at work.

Malika I am at work right now love. How come you awake aint it like 12am now in London & a work day tommorrow? Anyhow you are 100% correct Somali's are allerguic to organising anything but clan meetings which are usually money raising scams.

^^^Yeah i was watching a show online, called Congo my Foot. Sharif Hotel my foot dear. He is wasting precious time of the Somali's an ignorant man indeed. Wake me up when he visits Afgoyee.

Al Shabaab themselves will be banned.

^^^Indeed he is the Chief of 2KM of Mogadishu under the protection of AMISOM. A man who has never visited any village, City, District or Refion outside of Mogadishu for the last two years. Unable to even visit, Jowhar, Afgoyee or Balcad. Yes he is the Chief of his wardrobe.

^^^It is quite scary, I even remmeber him visiting Djibouti and giving a speech to the draft commitee. These people are running Somalia, how could there ever be peace?

Shabab oo mamnucdey hay'ado 15 Sep 15, 2010 - 10:33:32 AM Ururka Al-shabaab ayaa Hay'adaha Mercy Corps iyo Med-Air oo Mareykan ah iyo Horn Relief oo Somalia laga leeyahay ka joojiyay inay ka shaqeeyaan gobolada ay maamulaan, iyagoo ku tilmaamay inay yihiin hay'ado dhibaato ku haya dadka. Afhayeenka Al-shabaab Sh. Cali dhere oo boqolaal qof oo mudaaharaadayaal ah kula hadlayay Muqdisho ayaa sheegay in hay'adahan ay yihiin kuwo la mid ah kuwii ay horay uga joojiyeen shaqooyinka. "Laga bilaabo maanta hay'adahan kama shaqeyn karaan gudaha dalka, sidoo kale, waxaan ugu baaqaynaa in NGO-yada xiriir la leh hay'adaha Mareykanka ay joojiyaan xiriirkaas, haddii kale waa la mamnuuci doonaa" ayuu ku goodiyay Sh. Cali dhere. Sidoo kale, Afhayeenku wuxuu sheegay in dhamaan hay'adaha Mareykanka aysan u ogolaanayn inay ka shaqeeyaan dalka maadaama ay muujiyeen cadownimada ay u qabaan dadka Muslimiinta ah ee caalamka ku nool. "Cago-juleynta ah in la gubayo Kitaabka waxay muujinaysaa cadownimada ay gaaladu u qabto Islaamka, sidaa daraadeed inaguna waxaan bilaabaynaa inaan curyaamino" ayuu yiri Afhayeenka Al-shabaab. Al-shabaab ayaa ku eedeysay Hay'ada Horn Relief oo Somali ah inay xiriir la adag la leedahay Mareykanka, sidaasna ay ku muteysatay in laga joojiyo howlaha ay ka hayso deegaanada ay gacanta ku hayaan. Hay'ado dhowr ah ayay Al-shabaab ka mamnuuceen gobolada ay ka taliyaan, iyadoo [August 2010] ay deegaanooda ka mamnuuceen DIAKONIE, ADRA iyo WORLD VISION, kuwaasoo lagu eedeeyay masiixinimo.

^^^The funny thing this constitution and the draft commitee has been active since before he came to power, why act after all this time? Another simple example of his incompetence.

The impressive progress made towards stability and development by Somalilanders and Puntlanders over the past years should remind us of what is possible and inspire us to do more. I greatly appreciate the commitment to the protection of human rights made to me by senior Puntland authorities in Garowe as well as those made by the President of Somaliland and the new Somaliland Government. I salute their determined efforts to increase the participation of women in all aspects of Somali society. This participation, along with guarantees of freedom of expression and protection of journalists and human rights defenders, are key elements in making progress. The energy and determination of civil society groups everywhere -- and especially those in South-Central Somalia – should be met with support from a host of international actors – governmental, international NGOs, donors, and the United Nations.

Somalia: Senior Human Right commissioner visited Puntland 15 Sep 15, 2010 - 12:55:36 PM Statement from Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights NAIROBI -- The UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Kyung-wha Kang delivered the following statement Wednesday at the end of a three-day visit to Kenya, Somaliland and Puntland: "I come away from the past three days with a better understanding of both the despair and the hopes of the Somali people. Such a brief mission of course allows me to only scratch the surface of what is a complex situation resulting from prolonged conflict, but I do come away with a profound sense that we can – and must – do more now to contribute to Somali efforts to create a peaceful and prosperous country in the long run. I’ve had extensive discussions with Somali authorities, civil society groups, UN colleagues and members of the international community in Somaliland, Puntland, and here in Nairobi. I am grateful for the Somali hospitality and many insights shared, as well as for the frankness in describing what is clearly a desperate situation in South-Central Somalia. I spoke to victims of the conflict who had recently fled Mogadishu. One woman with whom I spoke in a settlement for internally displaced poeple (IDPs) in Hargeisa had fled the fighting in Mogadishu along with her three young children, aged 10, 5 and 4, a few months back. Her husband had been killed three months earlier due to the fighting and her oldest son wounded. She described to me the indiscriminate nature of the violence in Mogadishu: ‘ Everywhere bullets and heavy missiles were firing between the Al Shabaab, the TFG, and AMISOM. Even if you’re not targeted, bullets have no direction,’ she said . ‘There is no safe place.’ While thankful to have escaped Mogadishu alive, she described the many challenges faced by her family and other IDPs and refugees whom I met in the settlement: ‘ Here we have no job, no house, no support. We beg. Some days we get, some days we don’t. Life is like that. Everyday we get visitors, but we don’t get anything.’ I heard other similar stories, of which there are unfortunately thousands from all parts of Somalia, many of them from those most affected: women, children, the elderly, the disabled. The international community – as well as authorities – must step up their efforts to see that IDPs and refugees are given the assistance and protection that is their due and in line with international norms. Concerns about security are legitimate and governments are obliged to tackle crime and insecurity. But this must not serve as an excuse to restrict human rights. Rather, human rights should serve as the guiding principles and foundation for creating a secure environment. It is difficult to find words strong enough to condemn the ruthless attacks and abuses against civilians by the Al Shabaab and other armed groups that have caused this forced displacement, as well as their cowardly attacks against AMISOM peacekeepers. It is disheartening that such attacks are ongoing. We must look for more, and creative, ways to enhance the protection of the civilians who need it most. I was heartened by my constructive conversations with senior officials from AMISOM. I have the deepest appreciation for the extremely difficult task AMISOM faces on the ground and for their troops that have paid the highest price in carrying out their mandate. I was encouraged by the commitment from AMISOM leadership to take steps to ensure that their soldiers respond to the unscrupulous attacks from armed groups with the utmost respect for civilians and international humanitarian law. In this regard, I look forward to closer collaboration between the United Nations and the African Union in preventing and responding to the allegations of excesses by AMISOM. We need to envision a peaceful and developing Somalia of the future – without any delusions about there being quick fixes in the areas where there is protracted conflict. But we should ask ourselves, ‘What can we do today, concretely, to contribute to the foundations of stability and sustainable development in Somalia?’ The UN Human Rights Office stands ready to work with Somalis and members of the international community to combat one of the key root causes of the conflict: an imbedded culture of impunity. Even as conflict continues in some areas, we must begin the work of systematically documenting the most serious abuses throughout the years of conflict with the vision of one day holding perpetrators to account. Addressing the continuing cycle of impunity and violence should be a cornerstone in the foundation of building peace in Somalia. And it should serve as a deterrent to would-be violators that they will be held to account. The impressive progress made towards stability and development by Somalilanders and Puntlanders over the past years should remind us of what is possible and inspire us to do more. I greatly appreciate the commitment to the protection of human rights made to me by senior Puntland authorities in Garowe as well as those made by the President of Somaliland and the new Somaliland Government. I salute their determined efforts to increase the participation of women in all aspects of Somali society. This participation, along with guarantees of freedom of expression and protection of journalists and human rights defenders, are key elements in making progress. The energy and determination of civil society groups everywhere -- and especially those in South-Central Somalia – should be met with support from a host of international actors – governmental, international NGOs, donors, and the United Nations. I am much encouraged by the commitment of the UNPOS SRSG to deploy United Nations staff – including human rights officers – to Somaliland and Puntland in the near future. This reflects the commitment of the United Nations to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Somalis in their country and provide assistance to the maximum extent possible. Somali leaders from all sides – and in particular the Transitional Federal Government – must put aside self-interests and work with more intensity towards an inclusive and sustainable peace. In the words of a human rights defender from Mogadishu: ‘Nothing is changing. The people are getting hopeless. Women, children, and the poor are the most effected.’ This is where the focus should be. The High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said last year that there is a tendency of people to throw up their arms when considering Somalia and say, ‘What can we do in such an anarchic situation?’ My short time in Somalia has shown me how wrong indeed that thinking is. Somalis have made it clear that they have the courage and ability to do much inside their country today. We on the outside must find the will and means to match that courage."

Sharis as usual sounds confused. This game with the PM & Speaker is just getting worse..

Siilanyu the new route to ****** liberation.

^^^I agree with 1&3 the problem I have with 3 is simple. Omar, Sakin & Hotel should all go, why should we save the captain of the ship, let it all sink. As for Shabaab they are bunch of ****** led by the likes of Fuad shangoole & Godane who do not know religion from their farts.

Somaliland President appoints investigation squad in what took place in Bulle-Cadde Ahahahaha........I nearly fell of my chair. "investigation squad" to uncover what happened to the Navy, army, NSS and other organs of the "state" oops I forgot this is just a phantom nation. Siilanyu & The Mugged ones have trully made us all laugh.

^^^I never had nothing but respect for ya..

^^^Yup even in SOOL the Ethiopians are protecting them, but that protection wont last.. 200 men made monkeys of the whole secessionist agends.

^^^The triangle is weak and this episode is making the whole Somali race laugh out loud..

^^^lol Malika my sister, I wont describe you as anything but our Moral compass, like Shiekh Sharif.. Anyhow just be fair, thats all.

^^^Remember they were going to use their navy to end piracy and pacify the south. They could not even pacify 200 armed men walking ever so casualy through 150 KM in the open.

Originally posted by Kuun-Kuun-Laminaa: What happened to the story of the 4 men arrested and hub badan oo lasooqabtay? And that fantacy war in which the mighty SL forces destroyed the ONLF militia in Awdal mountains That was made up by the likes of JB after a tough secession the other night in which he & his freinds were fighting the ONLF from the comfort of the Marfish in Hargaysa.

Ethiopian troops arrive Somaliland-based Jamhuuriya newspaper has reported that a force of 1,000-strong Ethiopian troops has entered parts of Awdal region in northwestern Somalia (Somaliland) to conduct military search operations in the mountain range. There are reports saying that the group of suspected ONLF fighters have "already crossed into Ethiopia," where the ONLF has waged an insurgency since 1984 and is seeking self-determination for the Somali-inhabited ****** region of southeastern Ethiopia. Somaliland has enjoyed relative peace and stability for nearly two decades. But analysts say the continued unrest in southern Somalia and the low-level insurgency in ****** region of Ethiopia is affecting Somaliland's security. The bulk of Somaliland's security forces were sent to Sool region in 2007, leaving parts of the region vulnerable to security risks. Reports that heavily armed anti-Ethiopia rebels landed on the coast and traveled by land for hundreds of kilometers creates problems for Somaliland's new administration, led by President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo. Since President Silanyo's election in June, Ethiopian government officials have expressed frustration with the new Cabinet ministers, some of whom Addis Ababa accuses of having links to Al Shabaab militants in southern Somalia. In 1991, Somaliland unilaterally declared independence from the rest of Somalia but has not been recognized internationally. Somaliland claims colonial-era boundaries, but neighboring Puntland contends that Sool and Sanaag regions belong to Puntland due to centuries-old kinship and blood ties.

Some Somaliland-based media agencies have reported that fighting broke out in the mountain area, but these reports have not been independently verified. Inside sources say the reports of fighting could be an attempt to "save face" for the performance of Somaliland security forces
