^^^Adeer its not a joke, so dont be so happy, its not a civil war, if there is fighting it will take place most likely in the reserve area.

^^^lool. The Duke maybe but you aint that important to need armed guards adeer. Joke aside, Puntland is no more violent than the US we live in. Seven Somali's were murdered in MPLS in 2008/2009 and it had nothing to do with clan. Security can be improved but its not a clan curse as the poster alludes to.

^^^You kill a minister you attack the state, this is nothing to do with the sub-clan issue. Also even if we were to look at a clan issue this man was the most important leader of an important grouping. Will they let it go? NO.

^^^Peace Action, you are a good man, but the world is not good. There is an invasion with the usual suspects in place. AMISOM, Ethiopia, will spearhead this new attack using the same strategy as in 2006. Nothing new and no talk of bringing anyone on board, Al Shabaab dont want to join anything.

In Somalia, a Twist on 'Handshake Diplomacy' By Stephanie McCrummen Washington Post Foreign Service Thursday, August 6, 2009 NAIROBI, Aug. 5 -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Somali President Sharif Ahmed are expected to discuss weighty security issues when they meet in this city Thursday. But many Somalis will be paying close attention to a more delicate, but highly symbolic, matter of diplomacy: whether the two will shake hands. "The talk is everywhere," said Abdirhaman Mumin, a Somali sugar exporter who is hoping for the handshake. "Will he or won't he? For many people, whether he's loyal to Islam or not depends on the handshake." Somalia is a traditionally moderate Muslim country. Music and poetry are treasured, and handshaking between men and women -- taboo according to some conservative readings of Islam -- has long been considered normal. But since the collapse of the last central government in 1991, a more conservative strain of Islam has taken hold, with Somalis depending more on Islamic law to establish order. Ahmed, a former geography teacher and Islamic scholar, was the widely respected leader of a movement of Islamist courts that briefly took power in 2006 and imposed a more strict interpretation of Islamic law. The movement was soon ousted in a U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion fueled by accusations that the movement's military wing, known as al-Shabab, had ties to al-Qaeda. These days, a more resolutely moderate Ahmed is back in power and battling the Shabab, which broke with him and now controls much of southern Somalia. Increasingly, though, its members are rebels without a cause. They lost one of their main battle cries when the Ethiopian army withdrew from Somalia. They lost another recently, when Ahmed heeded a popular call and adopted Islamic law for the country. And so, at the moment, the Shabab is relying heavily on portraying Ahmed as an "impure" Muslim, a puppet of the West, a turncoat. Last week, pro-Shabab Web sites were speculating about a possible shake between Ahmed and Clinton, arguing that, were it to come to fruition, it would prove that Ahmed had lost credibility with Islamists. Some Somalis have argued that Sharif should refrain from pressing palms, if only to keep the Shabab from scoring a public relations victory. "If they shake hands, they'll definitely use it as propaganda," said one Somali analyst who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Shabab is known to target critics. But in recent interviews with Somali exiles -- a generally moderate bunch -- most said they are in favor of the handshake, a view that reflects their cautious optimism about U.S. support for Ahmed, usually referred to as Sheikh Sharif. The United States recently shipped 40 tons of ammunition to help the government fight the rebels. The pro-shake crowd also reflects a deep-seated desire among many Somalis to shed their image as citizens of one of the most dysfunctional and anarchic countries in the world. "I think it's good for him to shake hands," said Abdi Ibrahim, who was discussing the issue with friends at a cafe in Nairobi's bustling Eastleigh neighborhood. "Sheikh Sharif has to show Somalis that this is normal. Everyone shakes hands. Why should Somalis be different? Why the big deal? We need to join the world." "But," he added somewhat gloomily, "the insurgents will use it to say he has changed a lot -- maybe he shouldn't. I cannot say 100 percent." The former spokesman for the ousted Islamist courts movement, Abdirahim Issa Addou, said that in his view, Sharif is no longer interested in appeasing the Shabab and that "we need to show the Americans we're different." Following that line of reasoning, he said, Sharif should not just offer Clinton a hearty handshake. "To me, I'd go as far as kissing her," Addou joked. "But really, Sheikh Sharif is in a difficult position. "You know," he said with a sigh, "that Sharif has a lot of problems."

I don’t even mind attacks on the President as long as they are funny or appropriate, this poster lacks both humor and seriousness. Anyhow I respect your opinion though I hold a totally different one. Nin Yaban- whats your take on the poster?

Ina Lillahi Wa Ina Illeyhi Rajicuun; Sad motor vehicle accidents are one of the biggest killers in the old country.

Adeer John & Robert Kenedy, MLK & Lincoln were all kiled in the US thus no admin exists in US ? This incident we shall overcome and those who killed our leader regardless of clan will be hunted down. ^^juje don't make a meal of it lad.

^^^Thus I will excuse you not reading my comments and making accusations, in Galkacyu there is peace, and criminal issues will be dealt with by all clans and for the betterment of all. Thus dont wish for war lad, you have one already.

^^^Exactly Juje as the brother said no one and least of all Duke blamed the clans of Galmudug for this issue. You are trying to start something, maybe bored in the bunker?

^^^Thats even worse than if he was killed, tragic wallahi.

Juje adeer Galkacyu city of Puntland state is doing fine it has problems but it is not Guriceel or south Mogadishu lets be clear. Our issue is one of corruption and lack of competent admin, there is no clan warfare in the Capital of Mudug. I know you are excited but don’t confuse yourself here lad, we will get stronger by the minute as we have these past years.

^^^Adeer go elsewhere with your nonsense, no one is talking about war not even blames the Galmudug clan for anything. Galkacyu is one community and they have lived together for a long time and will continue to do so.

I grew up in the UK and had major surgeries in my late teens. I received the best care and never worried about the cost, nor did it burden my family. Its clear the present US system is broken, how else can you have over 40 million Americans without access to adequate healthcare? Anyhow as a US resident with a young growing family I believe that the public option would give my family more choice, though I get good insurance through my job, I want to know that my family would have some health coverage if something were to happen to me.
