Death is preferable to miserable existence. I understand what would drive a young Somali to a certain demise.Maybe he feels that he could contribute to greater cause, and salvage what's left of his dignity. As for me, Iam too much of coward to be killer, but then agian under diffirent circumstance who knows.

W/Calaykum. Didn't generalise walaal, and dat's why I only speak of my experience. Of course I realise not every Somali woman would have reacted the same way,but it is something in culture that nurtures for lack of better word Haruuf by girls towards their menfolk.

What makes you think that women would be better leaders?

Alle-Ubaahne...easy with habaar duco combo.

I don't know , but it might be the nature of Somali women to scorn Somali men. Something lights up in their head and turns them into little monsters. I remember one time I was with my brother on train. As we boarded the train, we saw this gal standing right across us. My brother glanced her way, and said "A/calaykuM". Big mistake, I have never seen someone change the face expression that fast (lighting fast..lol), such contempt on this woman's face. It was like we killed her father or violated her in some manner. You should have seen the look on my bro's face, and I started cracking up. Well that didn't help the situation.

War Horn...Seem very eager for some action. Didn't think the loss of Kismayo was gonna have this effect on you.

Booqashada markii hore maxaa udiiday. This is too little too late. Now they are just reacting the court's movement. Passive existence doesn't win or guarantee peace. They should have doing this two years ago when they had the support of the majority of the people. They have been turning screws on the warlords, and be proactive. I say your time is up, move over now. Oppurtunity doesn't knock twice!!

I understand where you are coming from and I wouldn't encourage political apathy. It is what get us where we are today. Having said that, the more you educate yourself about politics, the more discouring it seems, but it is very important to make your voices heard as the candidates will only listen to those that immerse and take interest in their campaigns. And this is where Somali Community Centers should step in and educate voters (atleast those with limited language skills) about the issues and the men/women running for offices.

Coz like any society we have own degenerate characters. We are not any better or worse than any other society.

Duke- has the TFG achieved anything so far. Two years on, the TFG can't point to any tangible progress that they have made in the country. It lacks vision, and honestly the compatency to lead the country to any brighter future. The leaders at the top are either politically inapt or simply hell bent on destroying what's left our beloved country. The very concept of TFG as institution might stand above all, but the reality is people running this institution are not equipped to lead this nation. Inter-squabbling and globe-trotting have become their two fav past times. What are their goals, strategies, and vision for the nation, and why aren't they communicating that to the nation.

Duke..Saaxib, it is beyond me just why you still support the TFG. I assume you that you are intelligent man, please enlight as why the boys in baydhabo are worthy our support and understanding. N Please don't bring courts into the argument. Just tell why Somalis should give the TFG another chance?

Talk about irony. The TFG helping the very warlords that wouldn't allow it to set foot in Somalia. Yeey and his ilk are morally bankrupt, and lets hope they lose this one.

Forget babies having babies...what about Axad goosayahe weenlay Koob iyo toban jirin baan mehersade leh. Xooli dheh Kitaabkey buu akhristay....Freaking pedophile. Kan camal tarabuunkii xamar in lasoo istaajiyo oo la dhaga xeeyo aa fiican.

They should shoot him point blank execution style. Disgusting!!!!!!! Umadaan Diin Mala miyaa.

The inclusion of voters into these debates is somewhat valuable, but the responses given by the candidates is very scripted, hardly reflects his/her veiw on given question, and rarely deviates from agenda set by the campaign managers. The whole political scene needs a reformation, and the hold of these two parties need to be broken. As for my state, for first time we might have minority candidate winning the governership. web page I will be probably voting for him. He looks the best choice out there.

^^^^^LOL. I gotta admit that was funny episode. With the way they are going, I bet it will be just a matter of time before they turn up north. I guess we will see then how Xiin reacts. LoL@Turkish

Strenght peace through sustainable agricultural development. Introduce new and easily accesible agricultural technologies and educate the farming communities by establishing Agricultural Research Center. The country has to be able to feed its own, and same time all Somalis must feel that they have a stake in their land. N last but not the least I wanna own my farm. Goverment level, I would love to see the any future Somali goverment streamline the processes of obtianing bunisess licences. The less bureaucracy, the better. Djib.....We might be helpful to each other.

LoooL...Ar take it easy. Yaaba is gaare.This is pretty funny. What would be funnier is to see rag la karbaasho by the virtue police in Hargeisa and Garowe.

They could do nothing, eheh. The last time I checked they kicked the warlords of Xamar Cadeey, Jowhar, and Kismayo. They restored peace and order to much of the south filling the vacuums left behind the blood suckers. They are cautiously moving to capture all Somalia. Yeey on the other hand is holed up in small dusty town with little or no influence outside his Madaxtooyo.He has no plan, no army to speak of, and no certainly real supporters in Baydhabo or elsewhere. He is heavily depent on external forces to even maintian his presence in the present capital. He squandered the oppurtunity and the honor that Somalis bestow upon him. It is time now to move on.

Who made him the governer?. He will probably join the fight,but he will be shown the way. The problem with likes of Yeey gaining the upper hand in the Somali conflict is that these people will turn Somalia into useless fiefdoms. Yeey couldn't even unite a small town like Galkacayo let alone the entire Somalia.There is something clearly wrong with "clean your neighborhood first" attitude. Either you put a claim to all Somalia or leave it alone. Now the courts wanna conquer it all, and I hope they succeed.

It is time to finish off the traitors In Baydhabo. Yeey could go down in flames, or join his brethen in getting rid of Ethio troops out of Somali lands.

LooL@Sharif in military gear

Thanks. That was very informative. I like his anaology regarding the corrasion of the human heart. Keep them coming!!

The supreme court seems to have liberal slant when it comes to issues of social importance. Todays supreme court justices can be classified as being overly conservative, but usually with time even the most conservative justices begin to revere more the traditions of the courts rather than remaining true to their idealogical base.(Scalia and Thomas might be an exception..lol). They might re-examine few things to appease Bush's Evangical base, but in the long run, I don't see them overturning all major civil right cases that won over the last few decades.

Alla Ha unaxariisto. I was checking the local tv channel. The story is still unfolding. web page
