This reminds me of Rashad Khalifa who believed that every ayah in the Quran is composed of 19 or multiples of 19. In the end it turned out to be false but many people were misled. We have enough direct evidance for our beliefs from Quran and Sunna and from Allah's creation that abstract numbers will add very little to our understanding of Islam.

Yemens at least grow their qat, while the Somali send their cash to Ethiopia in exchange for an illegal drug according to most Muslim Scholars.

I doubt if this is true but if it is, it is excellent development. May be Silaanyo should hold a peace conference in Hargaysa to bring all Somalis together.

It is more like SL waterloo. Who lost the SSC people for good? Two sub-clans fight which is pretty normal for Somalis and then Siilaanyo uses the state power to grab the land for his subclan. What a monomental mistake.

This is game changer and Somaliland lost SSC people for good. This is SL waterloo. Where are the secessionst, may be you should bring back Riyaale.

Bugland here is the context for the Sayid's peom about Arabs. Apparently nothing has changed for a century. Caaro-caaradu waa cayayaan liita oo sumad u ah tabar-darrida. Sheekooyinka ka dhexeeya Soomaalida iyo Caaro-caarada, waxay tilmaamayaan in xayawaankani yahay mid taag-daran. Ooraah Soomaaliyeed baa jirta oo oo arintaas tilmaamaysa, waxay tahay : Taag-daranaa, ma xuub Caaraa. Sayid Maxamad Cabdulle Xasan ayaa isaguna gabey ku tilmaamey tabar-darrida lagu quursadey Caarada. Isaga oo xusaya bulshada Carabta ah iyo doorka ay ka qaadan karaan dhaqdhaqaaqii ay Soomaalidu kula dirirayeen gumeysiga, Sayid Maxamad wuxuu yiri : Cudud ma leh col kula weerar gala ciidan iyo xooge Inkastoy cid kuu soo diraan waa cidloo kale'e Waa ceeryaamo soo curatey iyo xuubka caarada'e Madax iyo calooshey sidii dumar cantuugaane Maandhow calaalka iga daa Carabi waa naage (Maxamad Cabdulle Xasan)

Yes Mubarak is on his way out & Zinawi will be next. Don't assume that the revolution will not reach Ethiopia ruled by a dictator for the last 30 years or 25 years.

Bugland, are you disputing the story? As super copy & paste guru, you should not complain too much.

[ My true feelings about Faroole have been expressed on here countless times, saaxib. You are far too sensitive to 'get' valid analogies dee. Naga daa dee Kaama daynayo, can you explain your murder mystery again. I am still trying to figure the real intention behind it. Politics and diplomacy work on stated principles and goals. PL has always claimed to be part of Somalia, it always claimed the people of SSC and Makhir as part of its population and it always painted itself as being one of the few peaceful and progressive parts of Somalia. The policy it followed to achieve and sustain these claims involved the wooing of the people of SSC & Makhir, the subtle distancing of itself from TFG affairs (whilst, most certainly, working with/against them in the background) and the vehement insistence that it is and will always be a Somali (federal) state. I agree with the above statement and I see it differently how Faroole tries to manover in the treacherous Somali political landscape. The SSC and Maakhir are major stakeholders in Puntland and all almost all the leadership of these communities are in line with the new Puntland administration policies. If these are any opposition, such as Atom, the only way to deal with al shabaab front is to fight it and it is dishonest to claim that he represents Maakhir community. There is simply no other option to deal with someone who wants to overthrow the state. The aggressive tone Faroole took against the TFG is, perhaps, meant to show Intl community how serious Puntland is about the direction TFG has taken and is re-positioning Puntland as a major stakeholder in the Somali affairs. A bit harsh and undiplomatic but very effective. You have tried to make a mountain out of a molehill which is typical for die hard secessionst postings against Puntland.

Faroole may have done some good for PL in his two years in power (not really that hard to be honest) but you can't deny that he has fallen out with EVERYONE. It makes no sense. No I did not get your murder mystery drama which was either totally unnecessary or cleverly put to hide your true feelings about President Faroole. May be you can explain to us what you really meant. You say Faroole may have done some good in Puntland, even here, you have to qualify with 'may'. First Faroole is the President of Puntland as such his primary job is to work for Puntland. Of course, as a Somali national, he also wants to bring Somalis together. He fell out with SL. He fell out with the TFG. He fell out with the ONLF. He fell out with the SSC. He fell out with Atom and Al Shabab doesn't like . He needs to piss off SL, that gets him high mark from Garowe to Mogadishu. TFG Sharif is sinking ship without captain, you too left the ship before it even sailed why do you object when Faroole did it after two years. I will admit to ONLF but it is temporary and will have no lasting effect. SSC & Maakhir are founding member of Puntland in 1988 and has more power and authority in Puntland unlike secessionst enclave were out of 26 minister only 5 were non SNM and the top 3 posts president, vice president, speaker are all denied to Sool and Sanage residents. Defeating Atom and al-shabaab made Puntland stronger and made Generals Abdi Samad and Ilkajiir heros. That is why you don't hear targeted assassinations in Bosaso anymore. Faroole success so far. 1. Good management - Capable minister technocrats, progress in health, educational, infracture etc. civil servants pay, etc. 2. Oil exploration started under Cadde is progressing nicely with many jobs already created 3. Training of Puntland navy in Puntland by Saracen International paid for by Muslim country - so far 10 million was spent 4. Holding Somali Regional Football Tournment in Growe for the first time in 22 years. 15 regions participated and of course your region Togdheer refused with no good reason to play ball. 5. USA 2 track policy recognizing Puntland as an important building block for Somalia. What you wrote is silly and are not failures, some are even successes according to Puntlander. Faroole has some failures that needs to be corrected but it is not my job to help you.

6 billion is a lot for Somalia, let us hope and pray for the success of this project, aamin.

Libya leader regrets Ben Ali's fall Muammar Gaddafi laments ousted president's departure saying it has left Tunisia in "chaos with no end in sight". Gaddafi regards Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's as the rightful president of Tunisia under the constitution Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has said he regrets the fall of Tunisia's president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, which has left the country in "chaos with no end in sight." "You have suffered a great loss ... There is none better than Zine [El Abidine Ben Ali] to govern Tunisia," he said in a speech broadcast on state radio and television on Saturday. "I do not only hope that he stays until 2014, but for life," he said, stressing that he considered Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia on Friday, still to be the "legal president of Tunisia under the constitution." He said Ben Ali did good things for Tunisia, hailing his handling of the country's economy. "Tunisia, a developed country that is a tourist destination, is becoming prey to hooded gangs, to thefts and fire," he said. 'Victims of lies' Gaddafi said the Tunisian people were the "victims of lies" broadcast on the internet which had played a large part in Ben Ali's ouster, adding that Tunisia was suffering bloodshed and lawlessness because its people were in too much of a rush to get rid of their president. "Tunisia now lives in fear ... families could be raided and slaughtered in their bedrooms and the citizens in the street killed as if it was the Bolshevik or the American revolution," Gaddafi said. "And for what? In order for someone to become president instead of Ben Ali?" he added. "I do not know these new people, but we all knew Ben Ali and the transformation that was achieved in Tunisia. Why are you destroying all of that?" he asked.

Fiqi, what is the source that Sharif refused to attend donors conference in Djibouti if Puntland is invited?

Burn Notice, Not everyone here in SOL is delusional, it is the nature of Somalis to be quarrlesome and petty when discussing politics but we have some exceptional charactristics notwithstanding the difficulty Somalia is going thru and God willing, will come to an end sooner or later. I agree with you about the oil development in Puntland, it is the best and fastest way to develop and bring up people's standard of living. With economic progress, it will be much easier to advance and maintain peace.

TUNIS, Tunisia (CNN) -- Are jackboots already trampling the "Jasmine Revolution"? It happened with breathtaking speed. Within a matter of weeks, Tunisia went from being a beacon of authoritarian, pro-Western stability to a country in open, nationwide revolt. A largely leaderless, spontaneous popular movement drove the head of state from power. At the moment it's not clear whether that movement will result in real change, or just a change at the top. Shortly after Friday's massive demonstrations in Tunis, which reached a crescendo outside the hated Ministry of the Interior on Avenue Mohamed V, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled the country, taking refuge in Saudi Arabia. The day after the president left What's provoked the crisis in Tunisia? The army and security forces are trying to impose order in Tunis. Tanks and armored personnel carriers have been deployed on one of the capital's main thoroughfares, Avenue 7 Novembre (named after the date when Ben Ali assumed presidential powers in 1987). At midday Saturday I watched as two truckloads of soldiers pulled up on the avenue and began stringing out barbed wire. A dusk-to-dawn curfew is being ruthlessly enforced. Just how ruthlessly I saw from my hotel window. At midnight I watched as plain-clothed policemen beat with batons and kicked a young man to the ground. All the while be screamed, "Have mercy on me!" This afternoon the front desk called to tell me to close my window on orders of the police. In the Place de l'Independence, I watched municipal workers taking down a large poster of Ben Ali. There was no cheering, no celebration. The few people in the square appeared more concerned with getting home before the curfew began. The feel is very much that of a military takeover. It's hard to catch a whiff of what is being called the Jasmine Revolution. Mounting fear of chaos is diluting the unbridled joy inspired by Ben Ali's departure. Fires have broken out in prisons in Muntasir and Al-Mahdia. There are reports of gangs on looting sprees. Tunisian television has discontinued regular programming, replaced with a call-in program. The prime concern of callers from around the country is that law and order are breaking down. On back streets in the center of Tunis, away from the soldiers and plain-clothed police, people are still seething with anger at Ben Ali. They complain of rampant corruption and nepotism by him and his clique, of deteriorating economic conditions, rising prices, high unemployment and a lack of job opportunities for university graduates. Everything they complain about plagues many other Arab countries. In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak has been in power since 1981. But he's a relative newcomer compared to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, at the helm since 1969. In Yemen, Ali Abdallah Saleh has ruled since 1979. All of these aging autocrats must be pacing the floors of their palaces worrying the unrest in Tunisia will spread. Conditions in countries like Egypt are, if anything, far worse than in Tunisia. In Egypt, for example, it's estimated that 40 percent of the population has to get by on less than $2 a day. Unemployment is rampant, high-level corruption a given. In the spring of 2008, thousands of Egyptians took to the streets to demonstrate against spiraling food prices. In the Nile Delta city of Kafr Al-Shaikh, protesters burned huge posters of Mubarak. Ever so briefly it appeared his regime was beginning to totter, but then it passed. The government announced wage increases, scrambled to ensure a supply of subsidized bread for the poor, and rounded up the troublemakers one by one. Middle Eastern rulers are masters at outsmarting their opponents and quashing protest. They're far less skilled when it comes to addressing the problems that plague their people. Those autocrats are almost certainly rooting for the Tunisian army and intelligence services to re-establish calm and control. In much of the Middle East, the rulers depend upon the support of the army and intelligence services. When the secretive, low-profile generals and spooks decide the leader is more a liability than an asset, they send him packing. Revolution, real revolution resulting in an overthrow of the existing order along the lines of 1979 Iran, is far less probable. The Jasmine Revolution, which inspired so many angry and frustrated people across the Arab world, is already in danger of being trampled by jackboots.

Ignorantly or perhaps recklessly insensitive to the historic role that the South African mercenaries have played in carrying out former dictator Siyad Barre’s persecution of particular dissenting clans in the north-western region of Somalia, the TFG again has signed a contract with mercenaries from South Africa. Someone should tell Ayoub that De Kark & Siyaad Bare are no more. No one has the intention to harm our north west citizens but Somalia will do whatever it can to get out of the mess even if it has to go it alone.

1st intem president, the PM Ghanoushi was replace by PM Leader as the constitution stipulates. Now there will be elections in 45-60 days. We wish the best for Tunisia in holding free and fair elections.

Tunisia swears in interim leader Parliament speaker assumes power a day after Zine El Abidine Ben Ali flees the country amid a mass uprising. Last Modified: 15 Jan 2011 14:55 GMT Email ArticlePrint ArticleShare ArticleSend Feedback Ben Ali fled amid violent demonstrations and protesters who rejected his last-minute concessions [AFP] Tunisia's speaker of parliament has temporarily assumed power in the country a day after president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled amid a mass uprising. The country's constitutional court, the highest legal authority on constitutional issues, announced the transition on Saturday, saying Fouad Mebazaa had been appointed interim president. Mebazaa took the oath in his office in parliament, swearing to respect the constitution in the presence of his senate counterpart Abdallal Kallel and representatives of both houses. He now has up to 60 days to organise new presidential elections under the Tunisian constitution, Fethi Abdennadher, the head of the court, said. "The Constitutional Council announces that the post of president is definitively vacant," Abdennadher said in an address on state television. "We should refer to article 57 of the constitution, which states that the speaker of parliament occupies the post of president temporarily and calls for elections within a period of between 45 and 60 days." Constitutional confusion Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia on Friday, had delegated prime minister Mohamed Ghannouchi to act as head of state before leaving the country. In an interview later with Al Jazeera, Ghannouchi said that because the current circumstances did not allow for Ben Ali's return to Tunisia, he would act as the president until elections could be held. Follow Al Jazeera's complete coverage But the court negated that decision with its ruling on Saturday, saying the president had left the position for good. The political manoeuvring continued on Saturday, as Ghannouchi accepted a proposal from opposition parties to form a coalition government, opposition leaders said. "We discussed the idea of a coalition government and the prime minister accepted our request to have a coalition government," Mustafa Ben Jaafar, leader of the Union of Freedom and Labour party, told the Reuters news agency. "Tomorrow there will be another meeting with the aim of getting the country out of this situation and to have real reforms. The results of these discussions will be announced tomorrow." Ben Ali, who has ruled Tunisia since coming to power in a bloodless coup in 1987, fled the North African country on Friday after protesters rejected his last-minute raft of concessions aimed at bringing several weeks of violent demonstrations to an end. Saudi Arabia confirmed on Saturday that he and his family had been welcomed into the kingdom due to "exceptional circumstances" in Tunisia. 'Unwelcome' in France Initially, it was rumoured that Ben Ali was en route to Paris, but Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from the French capital, said Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, had refused to welcome the president following crisis negotiations with his prime minister. "Although during his years in power Ben Ali had acted in French and western European interests in terms of cracking down on anything resembling radical Islam and also his fight to control illegal migration from Africa," she said. "He probably thought those policies would win him refuge in France, but Sarkozy [considered the] large North African community in France, including a large number of Tunisians, most of them opponents of Ben Ali. "Sarkozy has difficult relations with the North African citizens in France. He figured that to allow Ben Ali to come to Paris would have exacerbated those relations would have provoked outrage among Tunisians in Paris." The unrest in Tunisia began on December 17, after a 26-year-old unemployed graduate set himself on fire in an attempt to commit suicide. Mohammed Bousazizi's act of desperation set off the public's growing frustration with rising inflation, unemployment, and corruption and prompted a wave of protests across the country.
