Somalia: Shiikh Shirif and Sharmaarke Should Resign 5 Dec 5, 2009 - 1:54:41 PM By Abdirahman Ibrahim Sh. Shirif would do himself and the people of Mogadishu (he controls Villa Somalia and its surroundings) a great service in resigning after the 12/03 attacks on Shaamow Hotel, which claimed the death of scores of civilians and members of the government alike. The solemn duty of Shirif/Sharmaarke administration should be the protection of the Somali people. In that case, both leaders failed to live up to that level. They demonstrated their inability to curb the violence in Mogadishu let alone in other parts of the country. Seventy people were killed including the late minister Omar Hashi in a suicide attack in Beledwayne Hotel in June 18, 2009. In September of this year, just three months after, the headquarters of AMISOM was targeted by a suicide bomber, where the dead was included a high level military official in the Somali side and the second in command of the AMISON, who also was the head of the Burundian peacekeepers, among other were killed by truck filled with explosive devices. Today, peace is what the residents of Mogadishu need the most. Unfortunately the two most incompetents leaders Somalia ever saw can’t deliver ten percent of the peace the people are in need of. Therefore, they should come to their best of sense and resign, if there is anything to resign from. Furthermore, Obama administration recently announced the deployment of more troops in Afghanistan. Why I mention that? Because more troops means more pressure on terrorists hiding in Afghanistan. Given Pakistan’s crackdown of terrorists in its soil, Somalia will be the ideal target for any escaping member of Al Qaeda or Taliban to consider. Every factor that made Afghanistan a terrorist hotspot is also available in Somalia today; lack of strong central government, alias like Al-itihad, Al-islaah, Al- takfiir, Al-shabaab...Etc, are running a great size of the southern part of the nation, where the escaping terrorist can find a safe haven. Some believe, the attacks like the latest on Shaamow Hotel, are the likes that take place in Pakistan, as an injured reporter told the VOA. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the engineers of the attacks in Pakistan’s universities, mosques, government building and on other public infrastructure are now operating in Mogadishu freely. Finally, due to the growing insecurity in Mogadishu, the suicide attacks and its casualties mentioned above and the incompetence of Shirif and Sharmaarke, the Somali people should be given yet another chance to rescue their nation with the leadership of competent, experienced and perhaps well respected individual. The country is crying out loud for change, and this time change for the better is the theme. Abdirahman Ibrahim atakhal@aol.com Center for Somali Peace and Justice

Originally posted by Peace Action: I think this is not the time to change the blue flag. The reason is to alley the fears of other Somalis including Puntlanders who may believe this is the first sign of seccession. No one is changing the blue flag, the state will have its own symbols. The national flag shall remain the main flag of the republic.

^^^Thats not the new flag, its just the posters design.

Originally posted by Norfsky: Brazil do well when they have a focal point. Luis Fabiano is their star striker lol Duke, we agree on something then lol Norf, in Football we have much agreement, A&T is just another Somali who thinks by supporting Brazil he is giving us an insight something special. The world cup has yet to begin, but I have much doubt about Brazil this time round. Spain is the team to watch, they did great in the European championships. England with Copello will be different. Now what about the Africans?

Not bad, but more should be done.

^^^Anyone who has doubt should ask me, you are the original SOL member to have attempted the design of the new flag of the State. Anyone else is having a laugh, and you should continue, like you said we are not after credit but synmbols worthy of our state and people. Viva Puntland.

They defeated England and Germany when they won the 2006 World cup. When did Brazil win the 2006 world cup In 1994 they won on penalties when Roberto Bagio missed his kick, and in all honesty the Italians were far better. In 2002 they won in the final against a German side that was barely able to play. In 1998 they were humiliated by Zidane, and in 2006 they were again unable to stop the legend. Much like how they always found Maradona troubling. This time round they won’t get that far, only laymen who know nothing about football belive Brazil are invincible, they play well but are not that amazing.

^^^I know one website that uses one of your flags shame on them. Keep creating them and maybe we will get one that represents the state.

The Egyptian will build the hospital in Bossaso? The Duke welcomes this move by our Arab friends.

He was smiling... That's right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn't know it 'fore, they could tell right then that they weren't a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he's a natural-born world-shaker. An old classic and one of my favorites, Cool Hand Luke starring the late Paul Newman, this film has everything, a great plot , competent acting and an old feel that has been lost in modern cinema. Anyone who has not seen it should also watch Hustler another epic staring Paul Newman.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it. Mohandas Gandhi One must always try & improve one self, thus your list is a good one. My own would be, be better with my family, start playing soccer again, travel and see the world. Insha Allah we shall attain our goals while not forgetting the next world.

I must agree with Norf in this one, England has a great chance in this world cup and with their manager being better than any in the tournament I think they will surprise everyone. Brazil on the other hand are always the favorite and usually only win world cups against weaker opposition, every time they come against a team with a decent side they melt, remember 1998 & 2006 at the hands of Brazil or in the 80s at the hands of Argentina or Germany. If they come against, Spain, Italy or Argentina they will melt again with their tails between their legs.

Not bad, your flags should be presented to the commitee...

^^^Somaliweyn if for all Somali's, Somaliland state of Somalia can have all it wants in the union, things have changed and the power has shifted in the republic. Stop being afraid lad.

One must welcome the Egyptian stance, and one also welcomes the anger and frustration of the secessionists. The Egyptian bold statement in Hargaysa, and the fact that Riyaale welcomed him presents a true picture of the reality on the ground. Thus spare us all this waffle, you have no argument.

Safiirka Masar Ee Soomaaliya Oo Ku Nuux Nuuxsaday Midnnimada Soomaaliya Isagoo Ku Sugan Hargeysa The secessionist need to change their stance and play a bigger role in Somaliweyn. Its about time lads 20 years of "recognition is coming" has taken its toll.

England, Spain, Italy and Brazil arethe top teams to win the championship.

^^^Omar Jamal is so important secessionists dedicate whole topics to him and the confused ONLF boys keep crying about the man. Juje is he is a clanist why did your Dharif Hotel offer him this post?

England with all their faults tend to do ok in the finals. The fact that Fabio Copello is their manager should give then something extra. All the big powers Should do well.

No conspiracy dear those who claimed there was no terrorists in Somalia are now suffering at the hands of the very snake they fed son well, protected and gave steroids to. This evil must not be tolerated otherwise this will be no more than a small incident much like how in 2006 people denied thier was a problem.

^^^Stop chatting rubish you are as fake as your posts. Insha Allah the people of Qhardo & the rest of Puntland won't fall to the idiotic delusions of thier enemies regardless of the situation.

5 what are you talking about is that a film?
