Still, the Puntland pirate bosses insist they are ready to call it quits, if the sheiks find jobs for their young underlings and help the pirates form a coast guard to protect Somalia’s 1,880-mile coastline from illegal fishing and dumping. These are longstanding complaints made by many Somalis, including those who don’t scamper up the sides of cargo ships, AK-47 in hand. It is a stretch, to say the least, that the world would accept being policed by rehabilitated hijackers. But on Monday, Mr. Boyah and two dozen other infamous Puntland pirates, many driving Toyota Surfs, a light, fast sport utility vehicle that has become the pirate ride of choice, arrived at an elder’s house in Garoowe to make their case nonetheless. “Negotiation is our religion,” said one pirate, Abdirizak Elmi Abdullahi. Puntland officials acknowledge, grudgingly, that the pirates have helped them in a way: bringing desperately needed attention and aid. “Sad but true,” said Farah Dala, Puntland’s minister of planning and international cooperation. “After all the suffering and war, the world is finally paying attention to our pain because they’re getting a tiny taste of it.” Last month, after an American sea captain was kidnapped by Somali pirates, donor nations pledged more than $200 million for Somalia, in part to fight piracy. Since then, foreign navies have increased their patrols and arrested dozens of pirates. Mr. Boyah conceded that business was getting riskier. But, he said, there are still plenty of merchant ships — and plenty of ocean. “It’s like hunting out there,” Mr. Boyah said through an interpreter. “Sometimes you get a deer, sometimes you get a dik-dik,” a runty antelope common in Somalia. Mr. Boyah, 43, was born in Eyl, a pirate den on the coast. He said he dropped out of school in third grade, became a fisherman and took up hijacking after illegal fishing by foreign trawlers destroyed his livelihood in the mid-1990s.

Much like the violence, hunger and warlordism that has engulfed Somalia, piracy is a direct — and some Somalis say inevitable — outgrowth of a society that has languished for 18 years without a functioning central government and whose economy has been smashed by war. But here in Garoowe, the pirates are increasingly viewed as stains on the devoutly Muslim, nomadic culture, blamed for introducing big-city evils like drugs, alcohol, street brawling and AIDS. A few weeks ago, Puntland police officers broke up a bootlegging ring and poured out 327 bottles of Ethiopian-made gin. In Somalia, alcohol is shunned. Such a voluminous stash of booze is virtually unheard of. “The pirates are spoiling our society,” said Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud, Puntland’s new president. “We will crush them.” In the past 18 months, Somali pirates have netted as much as $100 million hijacking dozens of ships and holding them ransom, according to international maritime groups. It will be exceedingly difficult for these men — or the local businesses that they support — to make that kind of money doing anything else in this beleaguered nation.

Grass-roots, antipirate militias are forming. Sheiks and government leaders are embarking on a campaign to excommunicate the pirates, telling them to get out of town and preaching at mosques for women not to marry these un-Islamic, thieving “burcad badeed,” which in Somali translates as sea bandit. There is even a new sign at a parking lot in Garoowe, the sun-blasted capital of the semiautonomous region of Puntland, that may be the only one of its kind in the world. The thick red letters say: No pirates allowed.

^^^International money ? You mean the money promised to go to the AU for AMISOM? The fact here is that we have our own plan, that is independent from the TFG [Which as we speak is suffering in the capital]. Our plan has had positive reviews and our lobby in Washington is doing a good job thus far. The Pirates have made more money than all the begging of Secessionist combined. Thus your envy and anger is easy to understand. Your crooks [Riyaale]steal money from the poors taxes, Our crooks [Pirates /Coast guards] take money from illegal western ships.

^^^lool. You dont undertsand the nature of the Pirates, they make their catches in the sea and not the land of Punt, they party in the cities, but their work not on land. Thus again lad, whats the big issue, they have neevr killed a single person? Yes its wrong what they do, but they have never stealed from the Public unlike Riyaale who lives like a King in dirt poor Hargaysa at the expense of the poor. The Pirates make money, lad and not at the expense of Somali's. So again is it the money, the bling, the ladies or the fame?

Xisbiyada Mucaaradka oo Ummadda Somaliland ugu Baaqay in loo Hawlgalo Sidii Rayaale Lagu Dirqiyi Lahaa Saxeexa Heshiiska “Madaxweynuhu yaannu nagu kellifin in aannu la soo baxno awoodo kale oo aan xilka kaga tuurno” Waxay ahayd in Salaasadii la qabto xafladda saxeexa, madaxweynihii markii loo tegay wuxuu diiday inuu saxeexo, annaguna UCID iyo KULMIYE sidii baanu go’aamadii u ixtiraamaynaa” Faysal Cali-waraabe Waxaannu ku adkaysanaynaa in ummadda oo dhan ka hawlgasho sidii Daahir Rayaale loo oggolaysiin lahaa inuu saxeexo heshiiskaas oo waxa ummaddu doonayso yeelo” Axmed-Siilaanyo Hargeysa (Jam)- Guddoomiyeyaasha xisbiyada mucaaradka ah ee UCID iyo KULMIYE Eng. Faysal Cali-waraabe iyo Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud (Siilaanyo), ayaa ummadda Somaliland ugu baaqay in ay ka wada hawlgalaan sidii Madaxweyne Rayaale loogu dirqiyi lahaa saxeexa qodobadda go’aamada ergada dhexdhexaadintu ka soo saareen xallinta khilaafaadka siyaasadeed ee u dhexeeya xukuumadda axsaabta mucaaradka. Shir-jaraa’id oo labada guddoomiye si wadajir ah xalay ugu qabteen hudheelka Imperial ee magaalada Hargeysa, waxa ay ka caddeeyeen in iyagu dhinacooda diyaar u yihiin saxeexa iyo dhaqangelinta go’aamada guddiga dhexdhexaadinta, iyagoo tilmaamay in sababta Madaxweynuhu u diiddan yahay heshiiskaasi ay muujinayso sida aannu diyaar ugu ahayn in doorasho dambe dalka ka dhacdo. Guddoomiyaha xisbiga KULMIYE Md. Axmed-Siilaanyo oo ugu horreyn halkaa ka hadlay, ayaa isagoo mowqifka axsaabta mucaaradka ah waxa uu yidhi; “Waxaannu halkan ka caddaynaynaa in aannu diyaar u nahay in aan u hoggaansanahay go’aankii ay soo saareen guddiga dhexdhexaadintu, diyaarna u nahay fulintiisa, ku dhaqankiisa iyo hirgelintiisaba. Sidoo kale waxaannu caddaynaynaa in saxeexa qodobadda guddigu soo saaray uu yahay qodob aan laga maarmayn si ummadda oo dhan ugu wada kalsoonaato, uguna muuqato inuu heshiis qaran yahay.” Waxa kale oo Md. Siilaanyo sheegay in wadahadalladii go’aamadan laga soo saaray ay dhexmareen guddoomiyeyaasha saddexda xisbi qaran, dabagalka iyo dhaqangelintiisuna tahay masuuliyad Madaxweyne Rayaale leeyahay, maadaama heshiisku yahay mid ummadda oo dhan iyo bulshada caalamkuba si weyn u wada sugayeen oo aad loo danaynayey. “Hawshaas iyada ah waxaannu u aragnaa in sida qudha ee ummadda iyo annaguba ku qanci karno ee dadweynuhu qaadan karaa tahay in heshiiskaas saxeex rasmi ah la isugu yimaad, waxaanuna ka codsanaynaa oo ku guubaabinaynaa guddigii hawsha ku jiray in ay hawsheedii sii wado oo aanay halkaa kaga hadhin ilaa golayaashii loo baahnaa la marinayo ayaannu annagu leenahay,” ayuu yidhi Axmed-Siilaanyo. Guddoomiyaha xisbiga UCID Eng. Faysal Cali-waraabe, ayaa isaguna ku dheeraaday marxaladihii kala duwanaa ee uu soo maray muranka siyaasadeed ee dalka ka aloosan, isagoo xusay in heshiisyo hore looga gaadhay khilaafaadka ay xukuumadda iyo xisbigeeda UDUB kaga baxeen axsaabta mucaaradka ah, isla markaana hadda Madaxweyne Rayaale diiddan yahay saxeexa go’aamada ergada dhexdhexaadintu soo saareen. “Go’aamadan markii la soo saaray madaxweynaha oo ay ahayd in annaga oo wada dhan naloo akhriyo wuu diiday oo wuxuu yidhi, nimankaa [hoggaamiyeyaasha mucaaradka] ha isu kaayo keenina, qolo kastana go’aankeeda siiya, sidii baanuna go’aamadii ergada ku qaadanay, kuna aqbalnay, laakiin waxaannu daba dhignay si loo arko in arrintu daacad laga yahay waa in saddexda guddoomiye xisbi wada saxeexaan, xaflad wanaagsana loo qabto.

^^^What facts, that Gates & Clinton are interested in talking to Puntland? That the US has rules out any bombings on land, and that the world is open to dealing with the real issues of Toxic waste and overfishing. You want the WEST to bomb Garowe, but thats the real wishful thinking, because in this grand game you dont exist, your enclave is not taken seriously.. Again dear lad, why you mad at the Pirates, is it the money, the fame or the ladies?

^^^lool. The TFG no one is talking about lad, its Puntland that will get the coastguard. We only give you real news lad, the behidn the scenes moves are going well and the US/International community is warm to our plan. Thus keep talking and in the meantime, set up a land guard to stop the flow of ladies into Garowe from the NW its getting bad.

lool. Desperate secessionists are envious of the attention. Anyhow Puntland is moving foreward and crime is no big issue Europe/US have the most criminals and they are the most developed. The Pirates have irked some because in the North of Somalia girls from Hargaysa, Burco to Bossaso want to marry the Pirates of Eyl. How can you compete?

There is no end game, Puntland has gained much from this issue, the world knows where it is, that its government is the only way tod eal with the Pirates. If crime could destroy a nation then the Mafia would have destroyed Italy. Maybe they need to bomb Naples because of the Comora.

^^^Yup the "Ethiopians" were chased out and defeated and Mogadishu is peacefull and bliss, is that the world you reside in old boy. You dont know what sense is old boy.

^^^Faroole has handled the situation well. The important thing is that there is no violence, thats a thing to be commended.

^^^You are talking utter rubish as usual saxib, your predictions and flip floping is legendery. Ethiopian troops, US troops, AMISOM troops have always been an excuse for the looters to keep the loot. The problem here is Somalia has moved forward while Ahmed Diiriye & the fake Mogadishu society of yours are still trying to keep a loot no one wants. You said Ethiopia was defeated, but Ethiopia is a functioning state that has lost 100,000 troops in a border war over a desert town. It does not care about dead soldiers. While your homes are burning today, Ethioppia is not, thus who is defeated, Mogadishu is burning, people are fleeing and you are talking about "predictions"? Give us a break lad. Your Sharif and his government will be remmeberd for selling the oil rich area of the south that he does not control.

^^^He looks confused and should be at school or Mosque rather than being a bodyguard to clowns who will only leave him when he is in need.

^^^You talk in absolute terms "they will" and then say "time will tell". You mean you hope, or think they will be routed. So far they seem to be holding their own if not even gaining ground.

Wararkii ugu dambeeyay dagaalada iyo Xaalada caawa ee Muqdisho (Stadium Muqdisho oo labo qeyb ka kala joogaan Shabaab iyo Maxkamadaha) Dagaalo qaraar oo galabnimadii maanta ka bilowday agagaarka Garoonka Kubada Cagta ee Stadium Muqdisho ayaa soo gaaray caawa maqribkii, iyadoona dagaalkaas uu ahaa mid faraha looga gubtay oo u dhaxeeya Xoogaga Alshabaab iyo kuwa Maxkamadaha ee Dowladda raacsan. Sida ay sheegayaan wararka goobaha ay maanta ku dagaalameen Labada dhinac ayaa caawa degan, inkastoo mararka qaar la maqlayo rasaasta dadka ay u yaqaan WAA JOOGAA IYO MA JOOGTAA oo ay labada dhinac isugu jawaabayaan, iyagoona waliba is hor fadhiya.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee aaga lagu dagaalamayo ayaa ah goobihii labadii sano ee ay joogeen Ciidamadii Ethiopianka dagaalada ragaadiyeen, waxaana dhinacyada dagaalamaya ay yihiin kuwii markii hore isku dhinac ka ahaa la dagaalankii Ciidamadii Ethiopianka.

Culusow Muqdisho. Wararkii u dambeeyey ee caawo iyo galabta xilli walba ka daalaco shabakadan dhex-dhexaadnimada ku shaqeyso.

^^^lool. Yusuf in his term as leader controlled Puntland 1/3 of Somalia. Visited Jowhar, beledweyne, baidoa, Mogadishu. Thus no one before A/Qasin, Mahdi and no one after Sharif have achived such a thing. Also it was Yusuf Yey who defeated the secessionists and while he was in Puntland they could only talk hot air

^^^This not sad its progress, whats happening in Mogadishu is sad adeer..

^^^lool. If you are going to make up stories then at least get the timelines correct. Yusuf fought as a comander of Somali armies in 1964 & 1977. He also fought Siyad barre, and was arrested for 6 years in solitary for insulting Menghestu attempt on balan bale. Yusuf fought Aydeed and the mauaruding USC, he routed Xasan Dahir and his clowns in Bari in 1993, was the founder of Puntland, the first President to come close to unifying the country. Who resigned went into retirement oversaw an open election in Puntland for health reasons resides in Yemen as a Guest of HE Ali Abdala Salah.

^^^Mogadishu has experinced all sorts of battles. this one is heavy, bitter and not small scale, but you have a point.

About time, I am happy for the good people of AbudWaaq its time to develop the area.

^^^Yeah its a term now used against anyone one does not like. "Oh Abu Mansuur is Ashahado La Dirir because he did not speak to Turki" oh "Turki is one because he is going bald"...Funny but it will become redundent soon enough.

Dagaal qaraar oo u dhexeeya kooxaha Islaamiyiinta oo Muqdisho ka qarxay Waxaa waxyar ka hor ka qarxay dagaal culus oo u dhexeeya kooxaha Islaamiyiinta gaar ahaan kuwa Al-Shabaab iyo Maxkamadaha deegaanada ku xeeran garoonka kubadda cagta ee Stadio Muqdisho iyo wada warshadaha. Dagaalkan ayaa waxaa la isku adeegsanayaa hubka noocyadiisa kala duwan, waxaana la maqlayaa dhawaqa madaafiicda ey isweydaaranayaan kooxahan, mana la sheegi karo wali khasaaraha rasmiga ah ee uu dhaliyay dagaalkan iminka socda. Sida aan wararka ku heleyno ayaa waxaa weerar lagu qaaday garoonka Stadio Muqdisho oo ey daganaayeen maleeshiyaad daacad u ah Maxkamadaha Islaamka, waxaana uu dagaalkani ku fiday deegaanada ku xeeran garoonka. Shalay ayey aheyd markii uu dagaalkan wajigiisii hore uu bilowday, waxaana uu ka bilowday kadib markii sarkaal ka tirsan kooxda Al-Shabaab uu ka bad-baaday fal dil ah iyadoo lagu dilay weerarkaasi sadex ka mid ah ilaaladii la socotay sarkaalkaas. Shalay iyo maanta ayaa waxa ka socday xaafadaha la isku farasaaray qax balaaran xilli ey dadkii intiisa badan ee awal xaafadahaasi ku sugnaayeen ey qax ugu maqan yihiin degaanka ceelasha biyaha. Kadib dagaalkii shalay ayaa waxaa socday abaabul dagaal oo ey wadeen kooxahan ey dirirtu ka dhexeyso. Wixii kusoo kordha kala soco Calanka

Dagaalkii Shalay waxaa uu u dhaxeeyay Mujaahidiinta Alshabaab iyo Cadowga Illaaheey,dadkaasina waxaan ognahay in ay yihiin Ashahaado la dirir cusub oo qandaraas hadda soo qaatay oo qoladii hore badalay” ayuu yiri Sheekh Cali Max’ed Xuseen. Classic statement. Kind of like Sharif of 2006. Now being used against the Sharif of 2009. :confused:
