The old police commander comments is most welcome, we need to strengthen the security and restore the republic.

Not bad at all. Secessionist talk way too much.

They should be shott. This crime issue is a problem and we will insha Allah, manage to overcome it.

^^^Indeed the clan courts shott at people watching a basketball game. Let alone girls playing a game. This news came from Somaliweyn [closed today] and Waagacusub two very anti- TFG portals. Things are working.

17 years there was no government, today there is and its getting stronger. The reaosn there is more deaths in Mogadishu is that these armed factions attacked Baidoa. they lost were defeated and now turn to terror tactics. For the majority of peace loving unarmed Somali's there is hope. The port, airport, city centre and all government property and lands are run by the TFG = Somali Public's interest.

Another important note the reporter in the last bid talks about how the Airport is open, the port is working, business is buzzling with activity. 1. Adan Ade international is open for business and the largets port in Somalia is also open for business after 17 years and it is in government hands. 2. All the roads are open after 16 years and there is even traffic police. This is indeed a posative video.

This is an amazing video full of hope. Few facts this good video outlined. 1. There is no emerging crisis or "Africa's worst humanitarian" crisis in Mogadishu as the corrupt NGO's were leading people to believe. This indepenent reporter sees things differently. 2. Mogadishu hasn't really changed for the last sixteen years. There has been fighting recently but the ruin is from years of destruction. The video proves yet another point again. 3. Life is comming back to normal. Except the areas the "shabaabs" hide and shoot, people are minding their own business in most of the districts. I was stunned by Trafficmen doing their work (when have they done anything like that for 17 years), normalcy coming back to the city, building renovated by the TFG. 4. This video confirms what we have been saying for a long time that most of the displaced are from "unarmed clans" of Somalia and these "hit-and-run" thugs are guilty of "ethnic cleansing". The dowlad-diid thugs shoot and fire rockets to TFG troops because they know their clan's civilians (with deep pockets) have temporarily relocated to to safe cities in Central Somalia, Puntland, Somaliland, and the casualty of any fighting in Mogadishu will mostly affect people these thugs don't give a damn about. The suffering civilians are from the unarmed clans of the south. This is the sadest part in that video. 4. TFG troops are on a tireless mission to bring back order and stability to our nation. I solute them. They are the beacon of hope in the nation. Young boys trying to keep the peace and chewing Qat to reach another day in the face of merciless criminals who hide behind the civilians of "unarmed-clans" of Mogadishu. Kudos to the reporter. The video shows how the struggle to bring back stability is a never-ending task. The good people of Mogadishu want goverment.

Nuune this is a summarisation of the success of the TFG thus far. As we have noted no envoys came before this TFG and none have been to the North West or what some people call Somaliland. The President is in good health. Also this thread will be updated on a regular basis.

Transitional government hails visit by UK minister © Anthony Mitchell/IRIN UK Development Secretary Hilary Benn. NAIROBI, 18 May 2006 (IRIN) - The Somali government has described a surprise visit on Wednesday by British international development minister Hilary Benn to the town of Baidoa as a sign of the UK's support to the fledging government. "It showed Britain's solidarity with the Somali people and a recognition of their new institutions," said Abdirahman Dinari, the government spokesman, on Thursday. "We hope that other powers will do the same." Baidoa, 240 km southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, is the current base of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia.

Somali government names first foreign ambassadors NAIROBI, June 10 (AFP) - Somalia's government-in-exile has named its first foreign envoys in a bid to put the war-shattered country back on the international diplomatic scene after a 14-year absence, officials said Friday. The transitional Somali cabinet, sitting in the Kenyan capital on Thursday, appointed ambassadors to the United Nations and China and announced plans to name other diplomats soon, they said. "This is part of a government plan to have its own ambassadors across the world who will assist in putting Somalia back on the map," a spokesman for transitional Somali president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed told AFP. "These two are the first lot, others will be named in the future," said the spokesman, Yusuf Ismail Bari Bari. Since the 1991 overthrow of the regime of strongman Mohammed Siad Barre, the Horn of Africa nation of about 10 million has been in chaos without any functioning central authority and has had only limited representation abroad. Elmi Ahmed Duale, a physician and World Health Organisation official, was named as the government's permanent representative to the United Nations, he said. Mohamed Awil, a Somali exile close to Yusuf and a political newcomer, was appointed ambassador to Beijing, Bari Bari said. In addition to the appointment of the new envoys, he said the cabinet had also approved a 279.5-million-dollar (229-million-euro) budget although it has no means of raising revenue and is entirely dependent on foreign aid. Observers said the budget was less a spending plan than a request for international assistance to help the government relocate from exile in Nairobi and establish itself in Somalia. Yusuf, who was elected late 2004, is trying to give his government legitimacy amid a power struggle with warlords who control Mogadishu over the relocation of the government. The president and Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi have backed a plan that would see the administration first move to the towns of Baidoa and Jowhar and stay away from anarchic Mogadishu for security reasons. But warlords in the capital are demanding that the government move there. The Kenyan government is set to host a farewell party for Yusuf's government on June 13, but it is not yet clear exactly when and where it will relocate. bkb-amu/mvl/mb Copyright © 2005 Agence France-Presse Received by NewsEdge Insight: 06/10/2005 04:48:49

Somali Embassay Kenya Ali Americo with Kibaki [ December 25, 2007, 08:17 PM: Message edited by: Libaax-Sankataabte ]

Reuters: Somalia's new China envoy sweeps away the cobwebs BEIJING (Reuters) - Old typewriters, dusty passports, faded diplomatic pouches, invitations to embassy parties from 1991 and pictures of a man deposed as president 15 years ago -- Mohamed Awil has a lot of stuff to clear out. Not the normal duties of a senior diplomat in the world's most populous nation. But as Somalia's new ambassador to China, Awil also has a tougher job ahead of him -- convincing people his country now has a viable central government, is back on track and will soon be open for business again. The former Swedish trade unionist returned to help his homeland from exile in Sweden in 2002, and for his efforts was rewarded with the ambassadorship to China, with responsibility for affairs in Japan, the Koreas, Australia and Thailand. Yet Somalia is so poor Awil gets no money from his government back home, which is appealing for international aid. There is only one other Somali working in the embassy, aside from himself, and most of the rooms are empty. "There was still a picture of Mohamed Siad Barre above my desk when I moved in December," said Awil, referring to the man whose ouster in 1991 marked the collapse of central government in the country of some 10 million people on the horn of Africa. LEAFY COMPOUND Somalia has had an embassy in China since 1960, and it still stands on its original site off a leafy road in Beijing's diplomatic quarter, near the Iranian and Argentinian delegations Though Siad Barre was deposed in 1991, his ambassador to China stayed on, representing a government which existed no longer and a country that had descended into fiefdoms run by competing warlords. In October 2004, in the 14th attempt since 1991 to restore a central government, Ethiopian-backed Abdullahi Yusuf was elected Somali president by lawmakers, though they were until recently based in Kenya and do not dare enter the capital. Awil contends they are a viable and legitimate government, despite widespread scepticism in the international community. "There is a government. Please stop saying that there is no government," Awil told Reuters, walking around the building. "There is a central institution whether the U.S. likes it or not. "We have a parliament. We have a head of state," he said, adding that with warlords having been driven from the capital Mogadishu by an Islamic militia, the United States should throw its weight behind the new government. "America has never supported the peace process. Now they have a chance." Somalia's interim president has accused Washington of covertly supporting the warlords now swept out of Mogadishu. PICTURES OF CAMELS The signs of the former regime litter the embassy Pictures of pre-war Mogadishu and Siad Barre meeting Chinese leaders are piled up in one room, while portraits of the man himself have been hidden in musty cupboards, behind photographs of camels. In one room sit old passports with visas issued by the long abandoned Chinese embassy in Mogadishu. In another can be found the grey diplomatic bags that were once carried to the capital by European airlines that years ago stopped landing in Somalia. Awil says for now the priorities of his government are rather more mundane than looking for investment from Chinese companies. "Our priority now is peace and security," he said. "When we have security, the door is open for any country." And one day perhaps, Chinese tourists will flock to Somalia, Awil added, pointing out that the Chinese admiral Zheng He visited the Somali coast 600 years ago on one of his voyages of discovery. However, since December the embassy has only issued about 15 visas, for business. "We can't guarantee your safety," he said of tourist trips. Not that having a visa issued by his government would be much use, as airstrips all over the country are under no single authority and many charge their own visa or landing fees, often at the point of a gun. Somaliland, in the northwest, broke away in 1991 and has been run as a de-facto independent state ever since. A blip, insists Awil. "Other cities and regions are with the government," he said. "There is no problem outside the capital." For the time being, Awil is redecorating the embassy, cutting back the weeds and sorting through the files left by the previous diplomatic residents. He hopes a large but desolate reception room, decorated with a few scattered seats and some wobbly shelves, will be ready for Somali National Day in a few weeks. In the garden, which grew unchecked for 15 years, the ambassador himself made a bid at cutting back the trees and bushes. But they had come back, leaving the grounds a marked contrast to the manicured gardens of more affluent Beijing embassies. "We have a gardener now," Awil said with a smile.
