  1. Where do you get the idea he even wants to participate the dirty Somali politics? He's a man of high caliber and I wouldn't wish him to be part of the mess (4.5)that's Somalia. Maybe he could help Somalia in some other capacity, but not as a politician. BTW, thanks for the video, it was a great interview.

    Hereri is also a fine journalist!


  2. Al-shabaab waligeed caruur bay ku dagaalamaysay, what has changed. What's all the shock now? It was these very same kids that fought Amisom and Somali government time and again. It's them who recently overrun heavy fortified bases, killed and maimed people. These young kids are trained assassins and battle hardened fighters, and I think we should not underestimate their capabilities.

     

    What needs to be done is to find a way to rehabilitate them and allow them to function as normal kids again. It's also important to find ways in which the governments and even groups or individuals(religious or business people) can lure these kids away from AS camps. Find a safe channel to take them back, give them incentives, and safe heavens for them to run to.

    If we don't do anything, but keep repeating the same emotional and empty rhetoric, and hope some miracles will happen to safe us from our selves, then I guess we will to finish each other to extinction.


  3. ^I like you too bro, but be fair when you're criticizing us Muslims or Somalis. What you posted up there is horrific and all I was trying to convey is that it's unfair to blame it on Islam or mock the Quran. If I may ask you a question, what would you have said if you see a video of grown African men stoning a fellow African for being a gay? Whom would you blame? Their religion belief? Their culture? Mob killing ain't Muslim thing only, brother. And trust me I would never defend ignorant Muslims such as those above for their ugly actions.


  4. Xabad, you know this isn't Islam and those illiterate bunch don't represent Islam. What happened to that poor lady is appalling and inhumane, regardless what they have accused her off. But to say mob justice is Muslim thing is bull and you know it. It happens everywhere when angry and uneducated people take things into their own hands. From Buddhists Myanmar , Christians in Central African republic, Hindus in India, to the Western countries (riots) these things do happen. Common now! Naga kala daa mowduucyada micna la'aanta. Ayaan Xirsi ha nagu noqon ee si qacliyaysan wax u abbaar ;)


  5. Seems like the operation in Suuj has ended with success. And the one in Garacad should come to close tomorrow inshaAllah. This should be a lesson for those mooryaan afduublay that future endeavor will only mean death. Unlike other regions, there are no clans here sympathizing for your cause nor are there any villas for your leaders, so your best bet is to stay wherever you at and keep away from this land.


  6. Maintaining Air campaign for too long became too expensive for Putin, I guess. And despite the air superiority that was given to Asad, he seems to be short in men to hold territories. IS hasn't budged a bit and still controls majority of the land it did before the air strikes begun. In fact any grounds lost by them were to the Kurds.

     

    I think the Russians are throwing their baby boy under the bus and want to negotiate the partition of Syria into 3 fiefdoms. Maintain the whatever left of Syria with Alawites, Christians, and other minorities on one side, Kurds to have their own, and let the Sunni world deal with the broken parts. After all, the Sunnis are ones created all of this mess to begin with.


  7. This is disturbing news and the words on the street is that this is splinter group looking for a hideout. That said, I think there are too much exaggeration of their number and the threat they pose. They are roughly 100-150 men, lightly armed and mostly traveling on foot in a remote and vast hostile territory. What could they possibly achieve? They can't held a place far too long nor will they expose themselves to direct fight with the security apparatus there. I think their goal is to lay low until they get to the eastern mountains for hideout. Puntland security is capable of stopping them, but the help of the local is very crucial.

     

    Libaax, Gaas was in DC when the news came in, and I think he is to leave today for PL. His absence or otherwise wouldn't have made a difference, these guys would still made the journey regardless of Gaas' whereabouts.


  8. It all comes down to accountability I guess. And that's something very foreign to our people back home (locals and politicians alike). The elected Somali politicians in the West know well if they don't deliver they will be voted out , and also know well that any idea of thieving the public's money will have a serious ramification for their own freedom...

    Halac is also correct on the qualifications or rather lack of it for most politicians calling the shots back home.


  9. What classified information could we possibly have that they already don't know about? lol Somali politics is clannish and out in the open. Farah is most likely complaining to Gebra about another minister, or perhaps he's showing this out of spite, so people might think he's plotting something. After all, he is perceived to be a political genius and the brain behind Damul-jadiid!

    Truth is that Ethiopia will continue to exploit our petty tribal politics so long as we stay divided. Let's just hope the growing political instability in their own backyard will erupt and spark some social unrest that will take their focus off us and deal with theirs. Hate to wish such things happen to a poor neighbor, but that might be the missing recipe for our own stability.
