They allow the burning of trees and the exporting of charcoal because the clan courts themselves ran those businesses. Very soon it will be these same clan courts that will be importing and distributing khat to the somali masses.

ICU is creating a monopoly just like Taliban druglords to fuel their desired goals. The Taliban sold drugs? I thought that was an American propoganda to tarnish the image of the Taliban as good sheikhs. Wasn't it the Afghani warlords the Taliban kicked out that were exporting opium and not the Talibans themselves.

Would it be good news for the ICU if the Amhara opposition overthrew the Tigrey regime?

Qeybdiid is still kicking in southern mudug. That dude deserves much respect for standing up to this ruthless agression from the clan courts of mogdishu.

How can Cade be labeled a mafia when he was elected by the people he rules over? Only a demented tribalist would utter such words.

Since the clan courts piss in their pants everytime the news of Ethiopian troops coming reaches them, why don't they bring some Ethiopians to Bendireleey to bring the fear of god in the hearts of these psychotic thugs.

Will that nutcase Saransoor be part of this?

The afmadoow guys in Kismaayo want to forcibly remove lots of people from the city only to replace them with others from Godey and Garrissa. Ahmed Madoobe is not a thinking man. He is asking to be killed in revenge.

However, in the midst of eurphoric qabyaalad passion, s/he lost when he listed C/llaahi Ciise and C/rashiid Cali Sharmaarke's pictures, along with current and former warlords. He also listed Shaatigaduud, which is kind of weird since he is not a "nomad somali" from the central regions and northeast somalia.

I hope he is not dead. Turki, although a bit too straight forward for a politician, seems like a good man. If he is actually dead, Allah ha u naxariisto.

Nice pictures. I like the pictures of Laas Canood.

Somali politics really is weird.

God bless Reer Baled Xawo and all of Gedo.

I see a lot of hypocrites who made a habit of insulting others. All you did in this above reply is insult other somali individuals, especially the parents of this Somalipride character whom you probably do not know in real life.

Reer Ohio hada miyay hurdo kasoo kacaan. I am just glad they came out of the comma. Great job really although I would have prefered if the University was to be built in Baled Xawo. Hopefully there will be a second campus there.

i told you barre and his ppl are weak You write so much crap on these forums and it is still shockingly tolerated. What is your secret saaxib. Ma jeebkaa laguugu jiraa.

Ciyaalka iskoolada dhigta sida loo brainwash gareeye ayaa la yaabee I don't know what methods they are employing in brainwashing these kids but they are very effective. I have seen the results first hand myself.

Listigaas waa been. Dad badan aan aqaano ayay magacooda iska soo qorteen. Midkuu surwaal gaab ah oo sheekada dhabta ah oo Somalia ka jirta la socon ayaa qore malaha.

Been ha la sheego laakin Barre aa Ethiopian soo wadanayo mid soconayso/duuleeyso ma aha. Ninkanu isagaaba arki karin Ethiopian-ka la sheegayo. Hadalada kasoo baxayo dhinaca Maxakamadaha waa hadala contradictory ah wallahi. Waxaa u habonaan laheed Maxakamadaha inay shaqaleyaan nin professional ah oo spokesperson u noqdo intii badoow meel laga keene la ogeen meel kasta ka hadli lahaa on their behalf.

Actually ONKOD stopped being pro-ICU the day the mayors seat of Jilib was handed to a man from Afmadow by force. lol

That picture is too fake. lol That picture is of Geedi from last Eid in Jowhar.

There is a war of words being waged from all corners and it is confusing the readers like me. I hesitate to believe anything written by a somali website these days.

Ofcourse release him. It is not a good political move to kill a leader.But knowing the clan courts and the people of waamo, I would not be surprised if they did such thing. But I don't think they will ever catch him. What happened in Bualle yesterday was an unplanned clash between two sahans so when the real war starts, we will see which side will really be crushed. I am sure some people will not be as happy then. Ciid Mubaarak everyone.

Magaaladan quruxda badan tee waaye? Dhismaheeda ka hele.

Shabelle is reporting the opposite man. lol ------------- Dagaal qaraar ayaa mar kale ka dib uga qarxay 2dii duhurnimo ee maanta degmada Bu'aale ee gobolka J/dhexe, iyadoo au adag tahay in la ogaado qasaaraha rasmiga ah ee dagaalkaasi sida uu shabelle u xaqiijiyay mas'uul ka tirsan Maxkamadaha islaamiga ee Jubooyinka C/rashiid Xuseen faarax oo qadka teleefoonka kula soo xiriirey isagoo ku sugan Jubbooyinka. Dagaalkaan oo la isku adeegsanayo hubka nuucyadiisa kala duwan ayaa sii xoogeeystay waxii ka dambeeyay 2dii duhurnimo. Dagaalkaan ayaa ku soo beegmay xilli roobaab lixaad leh ay shalay iyo xalay ka da'een degmada Bu'aale. Xiriir kale oo shabelle ay la sameysay Sarkaalkaan lagu magacaabo C/rashiid Xuseen faarax ayaa waxa uu sheegtay in guulo ay ka gaareen dagaalkii ay la galeen ciidamada Barre Hiiraale. Ma jiraan warar ka madax banaan sheegashada sarkaalkaan oo tilmaamaya xaqiiqda dhabta ah ee ka taagan goobta dagaalka uu sida daran uga socdo haatan. Sidoo kale xiriir aanu sameynay Taliska ciidamada Barre Hiiraale ayaysan inoo suurto galin in aynu helno. Waxii ku soo kordha kala soco wararkeena dambe. http://www.shabelle.net/2006/october/n9102.htm
