Adeer its unfair just to name IndaCade. Abukar Cadaan was a warlord partner with Bashir Raage, Xasan Dahir was part of the occupation of the Lower Shabbele. Cirfo, Goobanle, and otehrs were part of the Clan Court movement. Macalin Xashi was warlord Musa Sudi's second. Sharif Ahmed used to work for Mohamed Dheere. Thus what are you talking about, if any of the above points are incorrect kindly do add. Khalaf Adeer the TFG has many different groupings, hard men who formerly were known as warlords are a few maybe 5% of the make up. However it emplyes many in the armed forces and civilain branches like, Prof Geedi, Ghamadheere, Gafow, Xubsireed, Gen A/lahi Ali Omar and many more who never used the gun in any way. Thus if Ethiopia is the blame dont neglect the fact that Uganda, Kenya and Yemen alos supported the TFG 100%. If Ethiopia and Melez are the issue, then why overlook Eritrea and Aferwarki who is a close relative of Melez? A non Muslim is a non Muslim, why are the "religious movement" seeking the aid of Aferwarki? Also if they are independent how come they are hosued in Asmara? Take care Cuz

^^^lool. Why wish death on these men for doing their job. Anyhow good luck to Mr Gafow.

^^^Adeer you dont want to use titles yet previously you stated that how does one know its the courts? Thus I tell you its important what one claims, what position one holds. These groups what ever title they use were the deadliest militia in Mogadishu and Somalia. They are not religious nor nationalist. As for the weapons, most weapons have been handed over and those hidden is being tracked, if one is honest these groups back has been broken hence the small mortars and hand grenades rather than the heavy wepaons they used to show off with. Also I will like to highlight a difference of stances which has become obviosu between you and I. One I belive this is a temporary stage a transition as the police,army and security apparatus gets on its feet. The security situation will no doubt improve. Hence there will be no perfect peace and there is none in the whole world even in the US there are grave crimes that take place. Hence the TFG has more grip on Mogadishu today than they did yesterday.

^^^Xiin seems to be coming out of the cold, which is a wonderfull development. Khalaf, the al-shabaab clowns claimed responsability for these attacks. Mr Macalin Xashi a former tool of Musa Sudi tunred court also claimed from Asmara they would attack the delegates. Sharif Ahmed and Xasan Dahir call for violence on a daily basis. Masking it as "things wont change and so on. The courts are being made out to be something they are not Their militia were part of those who used to fight in Mogadishu throughout the 16 years. Indacade, Abukar Cadaan, AYROW [who dug up the graves of the Italians] had fighters who took such actions. Thus one should not call these groups "wadaads" what wadaad would have done what Xasan Dahir, IndaCade and the clowns in Asmara did?

UN chief wishes success for reconciliation talks in Somalia 14 Jul 14, 2007 - 6:30:06 PM UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Friday voiced hope for a successful national reconciliation conference in Mogadishu, capital of Somalia. "The secretary-general wishes the people of Somalia a successful beginning to the National Reconciliation Congress scheduled to start this weekend in Mogadishu," said a statement issued by Ban's press office. He urged "continued efforts to ensure the broadest possible participation in the process," it said. The UN chief condemned the violent incidents and threats in recent days aimed at disrupting the conference and called on opposition groups inside and outside Somalia to renounce violence and join the reconciliation process. "The secretary-general stresses that the National Reconciliation Congress is the beginning of the process of rebuilding consensus in Somali society," it said. Ban said the United Nations would "continue supporting all- inclusive efforts at national reconciliation and greater international assistance to help bring peace and stability to Somalia." Amid threats of insecurity and disruption from insurgents, Somalia is bracing up for the twice-delayed peace conference which looks set to be held on Sunday. Source: Xinhua

EU welcomes Somalia National Reconciliation Congress BRUSSELS, July 18 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU)'s Portuguese presidency welcomed on Wednesday the launching of the National Reconciliation Congress in Somalia on Sunday, hoping for start of national reconciliation as soon as possible. "The European Union reiterates its support for the National Reconciliation Congress and efforts to promote peace and stability in Somalia," the EU presidency said in a statement. In the statement, the EU presidency also encouraged all Somali actors to renounce violence and participate constructively in the Congress. It underlined the importance of an environment that is conducive to reconciliation and allows all parties to engage in the Congress. he EU strongly condemns any attempt to undermine the spirit of reconciliation or the security of the venue of the Congress," said the statement. Somalia has been without a central authority since warlords overthrew former ruler Mohamed Siyad Barre in 1991. The current internationally backed Transitional Federal Government was set up in 2004 in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, and has been struggling to establish its authority in the restive Somali capital of Mogadishu since it took over with the backing of neighboring Ethiopian troops last December.

Part4 Final Thoughts Rather than blindly rejecting anything of peaceful proposal, let us live up with the reality that is marked on our store today. Our children, families and people are dying in hunger and disease in thousands; it is time we should start to develop a culture of our own that is based on reconciling our differences, demonstrating an inclusive approach to governance, helping deliver security, and advancing political reconciliation. An objective look will show us that unity of Somalis is a primary and important goal that we must strive for, and be reminded reconciliation and forgiveness were the traits of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and there is a serious warning from Allah (Subhaanuhu-wa-ta’alaa) for those who create division among their people. “As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least” (6:159). A final suggestion is that DON’T BE FOOLED BY PROPAGANDA waged by the spoilers who threaten Somalia's peace process and some of the biased Somali Media those who promote conflict and alienate reconciliation among our people. “Allah knows him who means mischief (MUFSID) from him who means good (MUSLIH)” (2:220). It should come as no surprise that some of us reject every hope of stability for the country and see their future in anarchy because of their personal interests or some other self prejudices such as tribalism or annexing some other peoples’ land or properties. Whether we admit it or not, the fundamental truth remains that some of us emphasize other concern much more than concern for nationhood. That is the case. The Ex-Parliamentarian group in Asmara was a tiny percentage of members of Federal Parliament and wouldn't be the force except for the fact that the Ex-speaker has gone out of his way to make all of but Sh. Aweys’ extremism become true that is: it's OK to do “bad” things in the service of a "good" cause! Or on the other hand it is justified in their “good” cause to kill indiscriminately innocent school children, women cleaning Mogadishu streets, worshipers in their prayers in mosques, Government officials in their duties of national services……what “good” cause this will serve! If Asmara Group really desired to a sustainable peace and stability in Somalia let them renounce violence, participate in the reconciliation process and be wary of their quotations they use in creating division among their people for they are often deliberately fabricated propaganda. In South Africa, the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission was set up to help deal with the crimes that took place under the apartheid era. They came up with initiatives that were carried out across South Africa to promote an ethos of forgiveness and peace. As Somalis we need to ask: What are we doing in this direction? May Allah (Subhaanuhu-wa-ta’alaa), give guidance to all of us, endow Mercy and Bless the whole of Somalia with Prevailing Peace - Ameen.

Part 3 No to Bloody escalation and extremism Today in Mogadishu and elsewhere in Somalia, we should not expose our children, in their childhood development stage, to such a shocking scene of dead human bodies. We brought up children to witness horrific scenes without taking into consideration the negative impact that it could possibly have on them. When children of that stage of development are exposed to such shocking sights, they usually suffer nightmares, experience a loss of appetite, lose concentration and, in this case, perhaps even develop a chronic feeling of hostility towards other people. These scenarios would have been totally different if we had chosen to teach our children a lesson in high morals and forgiveness to other people and hatred towards violence. From this incident, it does seem that we have failed to properly spread the concept of forgiveness and peace-loving in our society. This entire orgy of blood-letting is not part of Islam. It was never practiced in the time of the Holy Prophet (SAW) or the rightly guided caliphs and this practice is a total abomination in Islam. All peace-loving Somalis everywhere deplore this practice of such horrific and bloody scenes enacted on the streets and populated business areas of Mogadishu and other parts of the country, this creates besides loss of human life and properties other phenomena of deep emotional and psychological trauma, especially among young people. In view of the harsh times Somalis and particularly Mogadishu residents are facing, it behoves upon those who commit them to revisit this deviant contraption and put an end to these barbaric practices and atrocities which do not belong to the true Somali culture.

Part 2 Simplistic Blame The spoilers who threaten the reconciliation process today wage an ongoing slander campaign against the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, claiming that it is a government that brought Ethiopian peacekeeping forces to the country. We were often reminded of some escape goat tactics such as Ethiopian Peacekeeping forces in the country or image marring some government officials involved in the restoration of peace and stability in the capital. Before we buy the malarkey that is being produced by people with their own agendas or prejudices or who are just plain ignorance, let us follow the reality that after all, Ethiopia did not come to dominate Somalia. There is nothing wrong with asking assistance to your neighbouring country to restore stability, law and order and put an end to an anarchies situation prevalent in Somalia since 1991. It happened in many countries in the world like Uganda, Lebanon etc. These African peace keeping forces, with no exception to the Ethiopian Peacekeepers, were those requested by President Abdiqasim Salad Hassan of Arta Transitional Government in the last days of his tenure, where he based his request in the fight of terrorists and extremists in Mogadishu if foreign Peacekeeping forces were not supporting his government. We haven’t heard any criticism on Abdiqasim’s demand for Peacekeeping forces from the leaders of radical Islamic Courts of Mogadishu on those days. (La jiifiyaana Banaan is a Somali proverb used on opportunistic occasions when it is on someone’s favour!).

A RECONCILIATION CONFERENCE: A CULTURE OF FORGIVENESS & SAYING NO TO EXTREMISM Ahmed Mohamed Warsame Today Somalis have come together to a national reconciliation conference to reconcile among themselves and overcome the legacy of anarchy and disorder of the past 17 years. A Reconciliation Conference is a necessary exercise to enable Somalis to come to terms with their differences on a nationally accepted basis and to advance the cause of reconciliation that can bring a real alternative to this madness of religious hypocrisy and extremism of intolerance towards all views other than one's own and disregard for the life, liberty, and human rights of others. Extremism is not an option for Somalis today but some people choose it as they always act in what they perceive, rightly or wrongly, to be in their self-interest. It became a tactic for those who interpret Islamic teachings very narrow-mindedly, and the result is that we are unforgiving towards each other. Somalis have come together from all corners of the world to a reconciliation conference of forgiveness and hopes of replacing violence with dialogue and saying no to those advocating a double standard of religious extremism, ordering the young people to commit genocide and committing infanticide himself on a mass scale under the mask of jihad. I don't believe you will find Jihad by mutilating the feet and legs of innocent school children and mothers and other pedestrians on Mogadishu streets. To my knowledge on the topic of jihad, this is an obnoxious propaganda of misrepresenting the essence of "jihad”, which means basically to struggle, but this, can be personal or spiritual, or a peaceful political struggle. Mogadishu residents are sick and tired of so many years of anarchy and today are fed up of planting and throwing bombs, ambush attacks, damaging of their properties and indiscriminate killing of their innocent civilian men, women and children in the streets. Enough is enough! Somalis should work together in reconciliation to stop this sort of violence and come up with an alternative to provide their children and families with shelter, food, education, health and protection. We remember when the union of Islamic Courts (UIC) came into Mogadishu we saw plenty of people crawl out from under their hidings and convert to UIC sympathisers, drawn by the smell of hatred towards the warlords of Mogadishu. But destabilizing their peace and stability in Mogadishu today by UIC insurgents would not make them and other Somalis to believe UIC insurgents much different from the warlords they drove from the capital.
