killing these two and their cheerleaders is an act of worship and Jihad for Sabiililaah Such statement is counter-productive, and hardly conducive to the Somali reconcialation. Farther more, war won't really effect Caasho, it will only be destructive to the good people of Bay & Bakool who are already such price in the sad saga. Do you really know uproot them again?

Red.....Excellenct, but old same pics. It is becoming boring now

LoooL..loved it....Cabdulle is classic. Even Owkuku was laughing. By da way, did you see the Niiko video...Funny sh*t, simply nasty.N I thought the rap videos were bad.

The community centers here in Boston usually hold seminars for the womenfolk only. It would be nice if the mosques get involved in the awareness program. Though there is always the contentious issue of prevention vs abstinence when religious establishment are invited to join the programs.

^^^^LooooL...Yeey markii Mareekanka yimaado in loogu fiicnaa laheed. The former acting PM under Yelstin has also been piosoned. Don't mess with Putin is motto here.web page

I wonder if Somali community centers in the diasparo doing anything to promote HIV/AIDS awareness among the Somalis abroad?

UNAIDS Somalia Nairobi (1 December 2006) – Significant progress is being made among Somali communities in the response to HIV and AIDS, the United Nations said today, World AIDS Day. The threat of HIV and AIDS has galvanized a united front against the disease with administrations and civil society - including religious leaders - building partnerships across regions and countries to avert a major epidemic. “This is perhaps one of the few good news stories about Somali cooperation,” said UNDP Somalia Country Director and chair of the UN theme group on HIV and AIDS, Mr Bruno Lemarquis. “There is a clear recognition that HIV and AIDS respect no boundaries or politics. This approach has allowed everyone to focus on what really needs to be done to address the issue to the benefit of the people. The commitment and action from the leadership and the civil society is highly commendable and should be replicated. We must now build on this foundation and remain vigilant to reverse the infection level.” Political commitment through the establishment and local support of the AIDS Commissions and Secretariats in Somaliland, Puntland and south central Somalia, has created the basis for all Somalis to coordinate their efforts on HIV and AIDS. Due to a long history of movement across borders in the Horn of Africa, steps have also been taken towards regional partnerships to address HIV vulnerability and cross-border mobility in the countries within the wider region. Somalis already have one agreed strategic framework and are working on one integrated prevention, treatment, care and support plan, and one monitoring and evaluation framework through shared technical management, coordination and information exchanges. This coordinated approach has also led to an agreed set of targets towards Universal Access to prevention, treatment, care and support for all Somalis who need it by 2010. UNAIDS Country Coordinator for Somalia, Mr Leo Kenny said: “These are ambitious targets and they have been developed, with the help of international partners, by Somalis for Somalis and that is where the true value of the process lies. Everyone will have to be involved – political and religious leaders, business people, the international community, different civil society groups, especially networks of people living with HIV, young people and women’s groups. Even then, success in achieving these targets and in reversing the infection rate will depend solidly on addressing issues of stigma and discrimination, and ensuring open discourse.” In support of the Universal Access initiative, actors in the HIV and AIDS response are scaling up activities particularly targeting vulnerable and at-risk populations including children. Voluntary HIV counselling and testing (VCT) services, anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and prevention of mother to child transmission sites have been increased in the different regions. UNICEF representative Mr Christian Balslev-Olesen emphasises the need for more focused interventions for children and adolescents. “There is a commonly-held belief that AIDS is mainly a problem for adults, not something that affects children and adolescents. Too often it is overlooked that HIV and AIDS has a child’s face. ‘Unite for Children. Unite against AIDS’ places children at the centre of the Somali Universal Access agenda. Young people need to have access to HIV prevention information, skills and services to protect themselves while at the same time knowing how to care for those who are already infected or affected.” So far the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) has committed US$ 25 million over five years to the Somali response.

As for the women,she is not Arab,she is pure somali daughter of a Farax. Didn't know Faraaxs were asexual

Must like da Arab chickn in pic. Did this really warranted starting two topics about da same thing.

NOt to mention my Freind Xammar has peace and stability today , something You and most of Puntlanders cant stand . What makes you think most Planders want Xamar to be in turmoil.

Lazy...I wouldn't be in miserable marriage. If things go sour, and the couple can't be reconciled. I believe it is better for all involved to just part their ways. Having said, I think most Somalis hardly exhaust all their options. They simply opt for the easy way out. For me though, I think my problems would have started after the goodbyes as I would like to keep the custody of my kids. Devil.....All eventualities will be planned for. Marriage is social contract which should stipulate that any off-springs generated as result of this union have to be care for by both parents even if both patners are no longer together. Any parent that fails to do their part (breach of contract) will be heavily fined, and will also likely face jail time.

What's wrong with being old exactly. Now just how would I know da Devil has little chitchat with her daddy about everything musical back home. Besides, you said ,"Let me reminisce" which lead to believe you actually saw da guy on Somali Tv. Anyway, my bad didn't know da devil was styling in daipers then.

^^^Loool..Didn't know you were intolerant. Cut da guy some slack. He wants us to show how friendly and caring the Woyane could be.

Paragon...Funny, this happens on the same day that Ethio parliament rubber stamped Zenawi's plans.

Puntland and somaliland should have been friends with egypt only.lol Ok, Where I have said that,or do you just presume things? I see your logic. In your head, anti-Woyane means pro-Arab...loool I guess now we know what's bothering the most Paragon....Time will tell bro.

^^^^According to Somali-Friend, everyone who serves the Woyane has reached a level maturity that's unprecendented in the horn...loool

Somalia has entered new age. Baxar siteen aa lagu jiraa. My condolences to the relatives of all the civilians who lost thier lives. The extent of the damage doesn't seem to be as bad as the last one. Only three confirmed dead so far. web page

Krishna...Kiyaa kay rahaahay. Kuch nahii samajnaa. Tu Arabi Gaarahaa hee yaa Hindi. Devil...I didn't think you are old enough to remember that Sudani guy Ayeeyo. I can't remember his name though.

^^^LoooL...I can live with that.

^^^^^Depends if one wants to procreate. Kids deserve a stable home.

Under international law any aggression against mandated peace keepers will be seen as a criminal act. That fact alone should spell much trouble to the courts. Duke...Under International law, peace have to be secured first, only then you could have peace-keepers to keep the peace. The IGAD troops are fighting force!!! N as far as support is concern, I guess we leave that to time.

You have done enough looking at somalia from what ethiopia may or maynot want. That can lead you to so many mistakes. One of them is that you think ethiopia has the power of independent action in somalia proper. Actaully, I don't think that. On the contrary, I believe Ethios will be in for rude awakening should they go ahead with this futile quest. My concern here is simply the suffering of the ethnic Somalis in Somali proper and SomaliGalbeed which in my estimation will pay the highest price in terms of lives and materials. And Iam not looking into this through what Ethiopia wants with Somalia, but through what is good for Somalis. And what's good for our people is to resolve this long conflict peacefully, and preferably without foriegn interference. First define what the Somali needs are and don't be afraid if the Somali and ethiopian interests coincide. Either one or both of these countries have changed and are going through major changes. What we need sincere leadership who puts the country's interest first. Iam afraid the warlords won't be the ones to provide that leadership.

"PS: This supposed war or Jihad, is no more than the talk of the Clan Courts, their power is strong relative to armed clans of Somalia but nothing in the conventional sense." They don't have to be well mechanised army. Guerilla warfare against ragtag IGAAD troops is their aim here. And also, one could hardly consider IGAD regiments to be peace-keepers' Never seen aggresive peace-keepers. The idea itself is an oxymoronic one.The truth is they will be engaging with the courts, and the fact alone is gonna make them an occupying force.

Somalia has a governemnt which has the support of its people What people?, the goverment hardly controls anywhere, and lacks any credibility. And if your so called national army has to enough power to take on the courts, why do they need foriegn assistance. P.S Ethiopians are not merely assisting duqa. They will be doing da actual fighting. Let's not misinform people.

What waste!!! Do you seriously believe the IGAD troops with America's blessing could bring peace to the Somali Republic. Africans and Americans could hardly counted on to produce any lasting positive changes in conflict areas, case in point Darfur & Iraq,
