You missing the point, this is why of exaggerating the case, so Puntland gets more hand out from EU. I am sure no soldiers wre harmed. Waa mashruuc.

I think MMA is not giving us the whole picture? This is the Eastleigh I knew Nairobi City Council to Invest Sh5 bn in Eastleigh Infrastructure Residents of Eastleigh walk past one of the many roadside dump's in the disctrict - Photo HOL Thursday, March 10, 2011 By Hiiraan Online Staff Reporter Mohamed Mohamud Gutale, Organizing Secretary of the EBDA Nairobi – (HOL) - The Eastleigh Business District Association (EBDA) met with representatives from the Nairobi City council Thursday at the Nomad Palace in Eastleigh to discuss how they can share the tax revenue collected in Eastleigh. The EBDA is an organization that looks after the commercial interests of Eastleigh business – from small street vendors to the larger hotels, shops and restaurants that seem to be sprouting up over Eastleigh overnight. They maintain that there is a stark contrast between the amount of tax revenue collected from Eastleigh business and the amount of municipal services they receive in return. Mohamed Mohamud Gutale, the organizing secretary of the EBDA voiced his concerns to Hiiraan Online. “There is a lack of investment on the city’s part in terms of infrastructure. Eastleigh has a colonial sewage system that was built in 1936 with little or no repairs or innovations.” He added that “The garbage is littered on the streets, the roads cannot handle the influx of vehicles and heavy trucks, and to make matters worse we don’t have street lights.” The meeting was attended by several officials from the City council including the town clerk, city councilors, environmental officers and city engineers; some of whom have never even been to Eastleigh before this meeting. The EBDA has told us that they have made a tentative agreement with the city council and that it promises to look into their grievances. They have said that they’ve been told to expect immediate results as early as 4 months from now and that there will be a Sh5 bn investment in Eastleigh’s infrastructure. The lack of municipal oversight and involvement has led to the building of several poorly planned or outright illegal buildings. The city council explained that many of the buildings in Eastleigh go against zoning laws and have not been approved by city planners. They have promised to further investigate this issue and if warranted those buildings could potentially be demolished. In June of last year, a Kenyan High Court ruled that the City Council is barred from collecting taxes from over 3000 traders in Eastleigh for not offering municipal services. Eastleigh is an eastern suburb of Nairobi that is predominantly inhabited by Somali immigrants; it has been affectionately dubbed as “Little Mogadishu”. Economic pundits estimate that the business generated in Eastleigh runs into the billions of shillings.

few people die , in order to eradicate the biggest danger, and to save more people? is that acceptable? the less evil against the biggest evil? how many more people will die if the status quo remains the same?

The secessionist gangs are loosing the plot, by gagging the press, and hiding the truth , they think they can get away with genocide against the people of SSC. Silaanyo and his team should be sent to Hague for crimes against humanity. Congrats to Universal.

A positive thread, Keep up the good work Som@lina

It is good finally people are coming off hallucination, and facing the reality head on.

This is more of Somaliland predicament than SSC, they want to secede so bad to feel good about themselves, They can not do it alone, or have the confidence and the option available for them is try to force other people to into their ideology.How bizarre! Get your hands off SSC, It is simple, they don't want be part of your sick project. :mad:

What an opportunity lost? This maniac should be in a mental hospital instead of leading a revolution against a government, He was consumed by hatred for certain clans that he could not see the opportunity they had, and they resorted to ethnic cleansing. They should form a government after getting rid of the dictator,and end the killing.

lol@Zubeyra The is the beginning of an end for AlShabaab, and chaos in South Somalia.

How accurate is this info?

So what is the issue if it is good for business? Business make money, they hire extra stuff to cover peek hours, like Valentines. Something business need during recession times... I see it as way of keeping up consumer spending.
