audio Sharif Amxaar Hotel

^^^MMA, adeer you are losing the plot wallahi. Never has a man lived in denail as you do today. The Sharif's and Ibbi have not only called for Ethiopian troops they have been planning it for a while. The reason why the late Umar Hashiw as targeted in Baidoa was that very same reason. Give it up adeer your whole false anti Ethiopian rehtoric has been exposed. the men who sold the sea, have now brought the same Amxaro they killed children over back to kill their own friends...

^^^lool.Farah no demo's then ? Oh poor lads did Al Shabaab turn out to be a nightmare for you, and did your money go to the defeat of the clan militias and exposing the weakness of Sharif Ahmed.? Poor Farah , maybe you need to go back to Kenya and work as a translator for the Kenyan army in the hope they will liberate you from Al Shabaab.

What's driving Steve Jobs?Over the weekend it transpired that the boss of Apple has had a liver transplant. Cue sharp intake of breath among geeks everywhere. At last a reason for his weight loss and the mystery break from work. But now he's coming back. Will he ever give up? By Ed Pilkington The Guardian, Tuesday 23 June 2009 Article history Apple CEO Steve Jobs pauses as he delivers the keynote address at the Apple Worldwide Web Developers Conference June 9, 2008 in San Francisco, California. Photograph: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images When Steve Jobs rolled out the Apple Macintosh computer in January 1984 he did so, true to form, by commissioning one of the most memorable TV adverts ever created. It bore several classic Jobs hallmarks. It was cool. It was darkly funny. And it seemed to portray a mindless conformity in Jobs's supreme rival, Bill Gates of Microsoft. Modelled on the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, it showed row upon row of grey-suited, grey-faced male automatons (for which read PC users) sitting in front of a huge screen upon which Big Brother pontificates. A blonde woman in white and red running gear - Ms Apple by implication - hurtles towards him and hurls a mallet at the screen, which erupts into a fireball just as Big Brother is saying, "We shall prevail!" Close observers of the ever more mysterious world of Steve Jobs will have remembered that advert this weekend with a wry chuckle. For, in the last few days, the behaviour of Apple's chief executive and his top team has become increasingly erratic, bordering on bizarre, with definite shades of Big Brother. Over the weekend we learned that Jobs had had a liver transplant two months ago. You could almost hear the sharp intake of breath among geeks everywhere, particularly in the west-coast techno-Mecca of Silicon Valley. At last there was an explanation for his gaunt appearance and evident weight loss, for his disappearances and for this year's six-month break from work. But consider the manner in which the news came out. It broke late on Friday night - that witching hour beloved of buriers of bad news - at the end of a day that had also seen Apple launch its latest iPhone. The Wall Street Journal had the exclusive and, unusually for them, ascribed it to no source at all, provoking a mass of blogger speculation that the source could only have been Jobs himself. All that Apple would say on the subject was to repeat parrot-like the phrase that "Steve continues to look forward to returning at the end of June". Big Brother would have been proud. The news of the liver transplant was just the latest of a series of events that saw Jobs and Apple dig themselves deeper and deeper into a pit of secrecy surrounding his health. The first the world knew about his problems was in August 2004, when it was announced he had been treated for a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Later it dribbled out that in fact the diagnosis had been made months earlier, in October 2003, and that he had tried initially to beat it with a peculiar dietary treatment (we're talking about a Buddhist vegetarian approach here). Earlier this year came the baffling claim that he had a relatively simply treated "hormone imbalance", followed just days later by the announcement that Jobs would be stepping down for six months to focus on his health. The relative news blackout over almost five years has prompted desperate attempts by Jobs's devoted band of followers to reach the truth. Bloggers have tried to confirm that April's liver transplant took place in Memphis, Tennessee, by tracking the movements of Jobs's private plane. They have also pored over records of property transactions near the Memphis hospital that specialises in such treatments, to identify the mansion house they believe he bought while preparing for and recovering from the operation. Why go to such extraordinary lengths to find out information that Jobs clearly prefers to keep private? Why does his health matter so much to anyone other than himself and his close family and friends? Here's a clue to the answer to those questions: Apple share prices. When Jobs took over the company for the second time in 1996 its stock was trading at about $4 a share; now it approaches $140. Or look at more micro movements. When his six-month break was announced in January, share values plummeted to as low as $78.20. Even unfounded rumours about his health can move the markets: last December, Apple stock went up simply on unconfirmed reports that Jobs had been spotted looking well at his favourite frozen yoghurt outlet in Palo Alto. On another occasion, an inaccurate blog report that he had suffered a heart attack depressed shares by more than 5%. Such figures, impressive though they are, are mere symptoms of the peculiar power of Steve Jobs; they do not provide a diagnosis. For that one has to look back into the cluttered garage of Jobs's family home in California where, in 1976, aged just 21, he joined forces with Steve Wozniak to create their first personal computer. They built 25 of the first Apple I prototype, with the help of an order from a local company, and within just four years had exploded from a garage industry into a major international technology giant. Millions of words and a library full of books have been dedicated to trying to understand how Jobs did it. But two characteristics stand out beyond all others. First, Jobs is a man who does not suffer from self-doubt: everything he does is imbued with absolute self-confidence. Second, he is obsessive about Apple and its products, which he engages with at a level of detail virtually unheard of among his fellow CEOs. Rob Enderle, a technology analyst who has been covering Apple for more than two decades, says that Jobs has "redesigned Apple around him. In any product, he's involved from its first design stage to its final presentation." That attention to detail, Enderle says, includes coal-face negotiations with phone carriers and suppliers in which Jobs uses his legendary temper to scare other companies into submission. Enderle tells the story of one firm that supplied a faulty computer chip to Apple. Though the fault was Apple's own, Jobs apparently insisted the supplier rebuilt the chip in an impossible 60 days, threatening never to work with them again if the deadline was missed. "That's the kind of thing that scares people to death. They know that if you let him down you can lose your contract, your job or even your company," Enderle says. Jobs has a similar nerve-jangling reputation among Apple's 35,000 employees. Workers at the company's Cupertino headquarters have a phrase - "being Steved", meaning to be at the receiving end of his wrath. "He uses fear more effectively than any CEO I've ever seen," Enderle says. Leander Kahney runs an Apple analysis website, Cultofmac.com, and is author of Inside Steve's Brain, which seeks to understand his creative genius. He believes that since Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, having resigned from his own creation 11 years previously, he has set out to remould it in his own image. The new Apple bears the imprint of Jobs's obsessiveness. "When they take on a problem at Apple they discuss it from every possible angle until they have absolutely mastered it." Kahney points to a telling - and rare - anecdote from Jobs's own private life. A few years ago he needed to replace the family washer-dryer. Where most people might go online and select a model that looked right for them, Jobs embarked on a two-week consultation process with his wife and children. Every night around the dinner table they explored a different aspect of the ideal machine - how much water it used, its ecological footprint, its cleaning ability and how it impacted on clothes. Then he went out and bought one of the most expensive German models. Apple is sticking to that Big Brother mantra that Jobs will return later this month, though it adds that he may come back initially in a part-time capacity. The question, though, is can the culture that he has created in his own image survive him? Other senior executives have been stepping up to the plate since Jobs's enforced absence. Tim Cook is widely tipped as a possible replacement as CEO. He has run the show for the last few months, proving himself to be a diligent and safe pair of hands, but analysts wonder whether he lacks the creative spark that Jobs has had in abundance. Last Friday's launch of the latest iPhone was competent, but where was the magic? The same issue exists in reverse for Jonathan Ive, Apple's legendary designer. As a design artist he is unsurpassed, but he lacks the clout and the fear factor that Jobs uses to generate loyalty and drive results. And then there's that other overwhelming question, which has little bearing on Apple's commercial future but has every bearing on Jobs's personal prospects. Why would someone facing the threat of cancer spreading from his pancreas to other organs want to bother with mere gadgetry any longer? Hasn't he got bigger worries now on his mind than whizzbang phones? There is another clue here provided by a speech he gave in 2005 - just after his surgery for cancer - to a class of graduating students at Stanford. He spent a third of the speech talking directly about death. "Remembering I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." In a few weeks' time we will know - Big Brother permitting - the choice that Jobs has made this time round. Given his record, it is a safe bet that he will yet again follow his heart. And that his heart will be Apple

Nassir, below is the piece that I read earlier this morning on Mr Jobs, which jolted me to read his profile and then I came across that his father was Syrian and was in fact adopted. It was interesting to note, somewhat.

MARX, Farah & Khayr.. I must say that I found all your comments amusing specially, the young man who used up a great deal of energy spewing venom on what he termed as an irrelevant tid bit beneath his knowledge seeking self. That was funny as hell. Now Farah the BROWN my man, any pro Al Shabaab demo’s planned and fund rasing activities from your ends? You know the Amxaro are back and Sharif Amxaar called them into the holly land ? Or is he your clan.

^^^Well take a look at that book also again thanks.

Nassir thats a wonderful link brother. I myself need to start reading these books.

Goodir: Adeer why are you being so emotional saxib, its news and those who used to make sentiments as you are doing now have been found to be nothing but hot air merchants. Also why do people change their names so much its tiresome getting to know the same person 20 times.

^^who is this guy?

^^^Yeah right, Che needs as much help as he can get saxib.

"Haddii la maja-xaabiyo xukuumada Somalia, ciidamadeena dib ayaan ugu diraynaa halkaas [somalia] waxaan adeegsan doonaa khibrad ka duwan tii hore" ayuu yiri Zenawi oo sheegay inaysan marnaba ogolaanayn in khatar la geliyo amaankooda. This is the most important point.

^^^They will destroy everything this time.

RW Ethiopia: "Waan ku laabanaynaa Somalia" 23 Jun 23, 2009 - 9:31:28 AM Ra'iisul wasaaraha Ethiopia Meles Zenawi oo warbaahinta kula hadlay Addis Ababa ayaa sheegay in dowladiisu ay ku laabanayso Somalia haddii la afgambiyo xukuumada uu horkacayo Sh. Shariif Sh. Axmed. Zenawi, wuxuu sheegay in dalkiisa uu indhaha ku hayo dhaqdhaqaaqyada ka socda gudaha Somalia, ayna sida u muuqata dagaal kale la geli doonaan kooxda Al-shabaab iyo Sh. Xasan Daahir Aweys oo ka mid ah hogaamiyeyaasha mucaaradka. "Haddii la maja-xaabiyo xukuumada Somalia, ciidamadeena dib ayaan ugu diraynaa halkaas [somalia] waxaan adeegsan doonaa khibrad ka duwan tii hore" ayuu yiri Zenawi oo sheegay inaysan marnaba ogolaanayn in khatar la geliyo amaankooda. Xukumada Somalia ayaa todobaadkan codsatay in muddo 24-saac ah loogu soo diro ciidamo ka difaaca kooxo ajnabi ah ooay sheegtay inay weerar ku yihiin, balse Ethiopia ayaa durba diiday dalabkaas inay aqbasho. "Al-shabaab waxay khatar ku tahay amaanka Ethiopia, waan la dagaalamaynaa haddii ay ku guulaystaan hadaflkooda ah inay afgambiyaan xukuumada jirta" ayuu yiri Zenawi oo sheegay inay xuduudaha dalkooda ku sugan yihiin ciidamo badan. Afhayeenka Al-shabaab Sh. Cali Max'ud Raage [Cali dheere] ayaa saxaafada Muqdisho u sheegay inay la dagaalami doonaan ciidankii Somalia taga, isagoo sheegay inay joogaan dhalinyaro dhimasho u diyaargaroobay. Mar uu Meles ka hadlayay aragtidiisa Sh. Xasan Daahir ayuu sheegay inaysan jeclayn, balse ay jeclaan lahaayeen inuu dhaafo [dhinto], isagoo ku eedeeyay inuu yahay mas'uul majaraha u haya dagaalada Somalia ka socda Ra'iisul wasaaraha Ethiopa Meles Zenawi ayaa hadalkiisan kusoo beegmay isagoo sheegay inuu xilka ka dagayo kadib 18-sano oo uu hogaaminayay Ethiopia; isagoo sheegay inuu xilka ku wareejinayo gudoomiyaha xisbiga talada ee EPRDF [Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front].

^^^Adeer we know what type of creature Aways is and will not have my support even if he born again Somali. Lets stick to the topic the Duke did not call for a Jihad on Ethiopia in 2006 and begged for their military help against fellow Jihadi’s in 2009.

^^^That’s what we all thought but now he is the dirtiest man in Somalia.

^^^ I don’t know what you mean mate, those words are used appropriately for example one would describe, Mohamed Abdi Yusuf as hapless, gullible and weak. Never legendary, best or amazing, it’s all about the suitability of the words themselves and what they are meant to convey.

^^^He is only following orders, the man is whiter than white. The only good person in the TFG leadership I tell ya.

^^^lool.

^^^Your inferiority complex comes out every time. I did a few case studies on business leaders at Uni, and Jobs was always my favorite. The latest rumors and stories about his health made look at his profile and I was surprised his father was Syrian.

Jobs was born in San Francisco[1] and was adopted by Paul and Clara (née Hagopian) Jobs of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California who named him Steven Paul. Paul and Clara also had a daughter, Patty. His biological parents, Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali [7] — a graduate student from Syria who became a political science professor[7] — later married and gave birth to Jobs' sister, the novelist Mona Simpson. Never knew that.

The absurd get even more so, can one take seriously the noise coming from the fake nationalists? MMA adeer you do not have a leg to stand on, Yusuf is a great nationalist and a man who has had a profoundly positive impact on Somalia, more so than any of your current and past hero’s and anyone in your own mediate family and clan. Today you are begging for the Ethiopians to come and rescue Hapless Sharif and the illiterate former Qad merchant. Gone is any pretences you once had. It was sham as your anti [Amxaaro] rhetoric was alawyas against a clan Today its your groups and your hero’s who are calling for Ethiopia to rescue. Is that not irony of the ages? Also dear lads this is not propaganda, it seems you dont even know the meaning of the term, this is the words and deeds of Hapless Sharif fake professor Ibbi and others a year or so ago. Enjoy there is more.

Somalia stakeholders face-off in Washington [Editorial] 22 Jun 22, 2009 - 4:52:49 PM SUNDAY EDITORIAL | There is plenty of misinformation in Washington and other world capitals about the true situation in Somalia. The U.S. Congress has invited Somali stakeholders to Washington, D.C., to testify in front of the House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health. The hearing, scheduled for Thursday June 25, will allow Somali political actors to speak directly to U.S. policymakers and present a case for ending the 19-year old Somali civil war. The showdown in Washington will offer testimonies from three presenters from Somalia – Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed "Farole," President of Puntland; Somaliland Foreign Minister Abdullahi Mohamed Du'ale; and Mr. Mohamed Oomar, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Mogadishu. Ugandan Defense Minister, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, will also address the Congressional hearing on the theme, " Somalia: Prospects for Lasting Peace and a Unified Response to Extremism and Terrorism." It is an important Congressional hearing, since it is the first time U.S. policymakers will be exposed to first-hand testimony from Somali officials who wield influence and power in Somalia. The Puntland government's decision to send a high-level delegation to Washington can be translated as an indication of how serious Puntland is about peace and stability in Somalia. There is plenty of misinformation in Washington and other world capitals about the true situation in Somalia. Supporters of the TFG, if the name still applies, tell the world that the TFG controls Mogadishu and is a government. In reality, the only factual thing about the TFG is the "transitional" part of its name – it is neither "federal" nor a "government." Supporters of Somaliland often flood Internet sites with misinformation, labeling other regions of Somalia as "violent" while portraying Somaliland to be "peaceful and democratic." In reality, there is no democracy in Somaliland, where an African dictator has extended his mandate illegally two times since 2008. While many regions of Somaliland enjoy peace, the conflict with Puntland over Las Anod city is a present-day danger and the Somaliland town of Burao has long been a major base for Islamist guerrillas waging war in southern Somalia. In Puntland, the situation is unique as new President Farole won a peaceful election in January and has already made progressive steps to restore the region's image as a stable and governable part of Somalia. President Farole has articulated his government's plan to combat piracy and to protect the region's marine resources. In Puntland, there is a strong desire for change, as demonstrated by the organized and peaceful election followed by the smooth transition of power. The U.S. government has an opportunity to listen to Somali officials present separate cases in efforts to restore national order in the country. Beyond the talk, it is time for a dramatic shift in U.S. policy regarding Somalia. If U.S. policy does not change, the alternative is that Islamist guerrillas will take over south-central Somalia and pose a serious threat to peace and stability beyond war-ravaged Horn of Africa country.
