War kuwa Liibi madax ka dhigtay baan layaabay. War ninku muu Liibya qadaafi ka xoreeyo marka hore. How cam you build a house for others when your house is burning and your family membes are inside the inferno.

"Don't blame Ethiopia, don't blame the TFG, sure as heck don't blame my Adeeros..umm, blame Satan and the wadaads with red cimaamds" . Your avator says it all. Mogadishu is back to it's old ways thanks to red cimaamad wadaads.

When I've gone to Somalia, the first question I've had to grapple with, as a foreigner and therefore ransom bait, is how many armed bodyguards to hire. Not so in Somaliland. This is pure lie. Not only western visitors are assigned body guards but even those who rent houses have guards assigned to them. I know this for a fact. And don't forget foreign NGO's were killed there.

"Calina gar leh, Caydiidna jid leh" This would have been funny if it was not so tragic.

This is not the time to hold the stick in the middle, it is about time he tells his cousin Xasan Dahir Aweys to stop the death and distruction of Mogadishu. Why speak when you do not condemn the aggressor?

So name the poet if yoiu know or this is one of those trick questions you avoid answering. War ninku faan badanaa.

This is deadly naked power struggle that should never be rewarded. Sharif must stand his ground and fight and all peace loving Somalis should support him.

No cyber talklords, just real warlords. Sophist how is the financial meltdown affecting? are ther a lot half completed buildings? Dubia is built on borrowed money and slave labor and one day will crush.

Emperor said it best. It is foreign intervention or shabaab take your pick. Those of you who opposed A/Y and now support Sharif should acknowledge that it is AU troops and the TFG army that are still protecting the govt. The only way to defeat the shabaab is more foreign troops or else the talibanization of Somalia.

Actually this article shows that overall people are sick of pirates and want Faroole to solve it. May be grooweonlije is working to expose this criminal gang so that the population will support the govt when the time is right to take action.

Ouch. Does that mean Sh. Xasan Dahir is next when Sharif is dethroned?

Mintid you are not enlightening anybody you are continously bad mouthing Puntland and hoping something bad will happen. No one takes you seriously, you have become a joke. Even western writes can seee the complexity of the pirate issue.

Any 'entity' that comes against this will, very simply put, be destroyed. What will happen when the shabaab start fighting among themselves. Then who will you root for their destruction, Kb warrior waaxid.

This is good advice but it may be too late? It is time to be tough and decisive.

It is true that there has been illegal fishing and toxic dumpimg but it is wrong to hijack commercial ships for ransom. In addition, the money pirates receive is tainted (xaraam)and has no "braka" and will cause more harm to the society in the long run. I have been told already they are causing immense harm to the society and people are sick of them. Let us not glorify these criminals.

I agree with Miskiin, isbaaro is isbaaro and it is xaraam and will bring more harm then good.

He is afraid to say it? Be a man and spill the beans.

I was surprised when the man admitted on BBC that qaacida is fighting along side them. He just made the Int'l wanted list. The old man was correct but I hope shabaab can be still be stopped otherwise Somalia will be Afganistan on steriods.

Don't be hard on the President. Sharif eventually decided to work for peace, but his former allies decided to overthrow him. I think it is better to support him, otherwise the shabaab will have breakfast in Bosaso and dinner in Hargaysa very soon.

“Dad dagaal xirfad ka dhigtay oo aan nabad iyo dowladnimo rabin oo aan shacab u tureynin ayaa ka dambeeya Dagaallada Muqdisho ka dhacaya” How true. There is no excuse not to support Sh. Sharif.Unfortunately Somalis detest carrots and like sticks. It is time for the stick.

Mintid wrote... But I assure all that I'll put the torch away for the weekend. It's just a gut reaction aversion to ' Munaafiqnimo ' that I have. If there was less of that quality in the Xiin's of the South, peace would bloom from Bossasso to Ras Kamboni. Can't hide it anymore? I thought you had beef with Puntland but from Bosaso to Ras Kamboni?

A pastor trying to visit Somalia’s autonomous, self-declared state of Somaliland Hey may be the guy was visiting Maykal Maryama, the only known Somali christian.

Fishing villages in the area have been devastated by illegal trawlers and waste dumping from industrialized nations. Coral reefs are reportedly dead. Lobster and tuna have vanished. Malnutrition is high. If you were a fisherman all your life and your livelihood is destroyed by illegal foreign fishing, I am sure you will do the same. It is wrong, but understandable.

But no, there is no Islam to be found in the ruckus that is Aweys and co. Agree. Xiin, are you worried about the peace caravan, it seems sh. sharif is not preparing for the emerging war from the anti TFG fanatical groups.

’Next time I will carry a gun.’ - .. . Now Kantner has returned successfully to Somaliland, travelled to Berbera, and spends his days rebuilding his yacht, on the other side of the pier from the Somaliland coastguard base, seemingly safe from pirate attack. He has, however, little belief in the effectiveness of the coastguards. 'They put on a Mickey Mouse show,' he said, dismissing them with a wave of the hand. 'They will never catch a thing.' Why take such a risk for fun?
