People, Lets pray for this little gal and condemn the culprits if the story is actually true. If the story is fabrication, lets condemn those that would make up such horrible story to score political points.

Xoogsade...I guess the question is the desire for peace by the public carry more wieght than the warlords's desire to create havoc with their armed militias. Mogadisho will be the litmus. I guess we will wait and see.

Originally posted by Rahima: The warlords may not, but the general public will. Ironically, Yeey is being welcomed by most of general public in Mogadisho and Gedo, the two places I thought would be most angered by his inuaguration as president of Somalia. It just shows average Somali is tired of wars, and is willing to give a chance to Yeey. Xoogsade....Old habits die hard and I doubt Yeey would give up his old ways of handling things, but I guess we will wait and see.

I doubt anyone in Burco celebrated , but they might be wondering what will become of them if Yeey actually succeed in securing peace and stability in the south, and world buys into the idea of One Somalia. I think the more interesting and important thing here is how Yeey will be recieved in Xamer Caddeey.

Thinks have changed forever. [/QB] Oh yes, things have changed alright, and it is back to sixties, and the coming the third Reich.....LoL In fairness, Yusuf did win fair and square. Suldaanka....People should worried about Ina Yusuf, his past and his future intentions. Having said that I think the articles in Hoybonet, and Dayniile seems to be written by bunch of bitter people.

So is Somalitalk.com, and I had problems at times with few others.

Well there are a lot of us not happy with how things turn out, but I believe we should put our differences aside, and support the new goverment so we could restore the Somali state which would hopefully provide peace, security, and our dignity as nation.

Smith-I Guess we wait and see-It is now confirmed Yusuf is the new president. There was an electric outage, but now the ballots are counted n Yeey made it.

What happened to the anti-Yusuf alliance. :confused: :confused: If yeey is elected. It would be interesting to see how he will be recieved in mogadisho if even he can go there at all.

Lets hope good new beginning for the Somali Republic. I think they might go into round three. Smith..Ing Cadow sounds good, but we need someone who would stand upto Yusuf.

Horn-I guess the most hated warlord is to be legitimized as the next president of the Somalia..Indeed patience pays off....now 64 million dollars question is will yeey be good for Somalia, and will everybody accepted the results?.

I guess the mad man from the Punt made it-May God help us. What da hell happened to Cadow?

Qacbaro...I think you are right, I should be on my way now.

Divorce party...LoooL...Damn this is sounds like an episode from Sex and the City....Somalis get to stop immitating. P.S Glasseyegal...Your story seems little too good, a couple breaking mutually, and no kids in three years, how convienent :confused: The prefect breakup :cool:

Nice site, I hope they will continue improving the city infrastructure. Atleast one thing I like is the city emblem "Pair of Ladies Breast Mountains" or Naaso Hablood.

I thought I share dis interesting piece with you guys. Boyfriend pillow for Japan singles Japan's single women are being offered the ultimate sleeping partner - a comfort to cuddle up to, but one which does not snore or make demands. The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow, shaped like a man's torso with one sturdy arm, has been on sale since December and has so far been snapped up by 1,000 singles. Manufacturer Kameo said the pillow's shape also keeps the body balanced. One woman, Junko Suzuki, told AP: "It makes me relaxed... I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side". The pillow is only available in Japan, where it costs about 8,500 Yen ($80), and is available in blue, pink or green. Ms Suzuki, who is separated from her husband, says the pillow has other advantages. "It keeps holding me all the way through. I think this is great because this does not betray me," she told AP. source:bbc.com

Originally posted by HornAfrique: If that was the case then the late Siad Barre would be my biggest role model :rolleyes: Next time cut the petty remarks, it isn't very funny. Maybe he is, who knows....LoL All kidding aside, all Iam saying is that lets not be hypocrites. Any Somali supporting any warlord is no better than any other Somali who is supporting some other warlord. N I gotta say I have seen your fair share of cheerleading. Smith-Walaal Don't confuse Yeey's arrogance and voilent tendencies as show of strenght. One can't solve everything with violence.We obviously need a leader who is strong, but we also need a man who listen to the masses, and is in tune with the people's desires. I just don't think Yusuf is that man.

Originally posted by AYOUB_SHEIKH: Name :Otali Most likely to say: Satan is Puntlander. [/b] LoooooooooooooooL.....Dats so true. heck, if Otali was in Bosaso, or another Pland town, he would probably say that he saw satan hovering over in the sky just like Gen Boyklin said that he saw satan over the Xamar sky.

Originally posted by SmithNwestern: I hate this cleaner than clean argumnts that seems to come up all te time. [/QB] Smith....I agree with you on this statement, and I don't think Cadow, Qasim, Aideed, Caato, Suudi, Riyaale and so forth are any holier than Yeey. And Yeey had no part in waqooyi wars in 80s, mogadisho, or the bay/bakool genocide where hundred thounsad Somalis perished. However I must disagree with you about Yeey and his reign. This is hungry psychotic man who in his pursuit for power has done nothing good for Pland or for Somalia. If anything , everytime this man decides to do something, those that pay the price are usually Planders themselves. We have his long history to prove this, from Ciro coup, SSDF, to the recent internal Pland wars. What good can come out of supporting this man, lets stop supporting murderers, and start supporting those that will put people's interest first, and their's second. P.S I sincerely believe Pland exist not cuz Yeey is running it but cuz people there desire peace, and will defend peace if it is attacked by anyone.

I hope things go well for the nomads in Sanaag, and others in the drought stricken areas.

Originally posted by Xarago: ^ dadka ha iga dhex bixiin..but then again, isnt talking about the causes part of the process to reconcile? [/QB] Xarago....Do you think they really care the causes of the conflict, and even they talk about the causes, this will just stir up more problems. Think about it, if we (all Somalis in the horn) care about the causes of the internal Somali wars, our problems would have been solved long ago. We just live through, and don't ask why?. P.S Dadka kaama dhax bixii nayee, it is just that your bashing is sane and healthy. Thats rare in here

SmithnWestern...Well bro, you seem very subdued, but atleast you try to be graceful in defeat. if there is very thing that we could learn from fiasco, it is that we should not be cheerleaders for tyrannts whether be Yeey, the butcher of Hargaysa, or even Hiraale whom HornA labeled as being rightious :confused: .Could that cuz he is from Gedo/Caabudwaaq...lol What I simply want is to pin point the culprit who is responsible for the killing of hundreds in Juba. You cant all of a sudden turn around and say 'well it was worth the try all is forgiven' at the expense of innocent lives. Wasn't all forgiven in Sland, afterall Riyaale is the president there.Besides, if any Somali is to be hold accountable, then all must be held accountable, and that would mean everyone in Nairobi will be tried for one crime or another. Xarago....Somalis of all regions always play the qabiil card in victory or defeat. Well don't push Smith over the wall since everyone is in reconciling mood. Though this might be hard for you since it is clear that you particularly enjoy bashing planders, and their unfortunate so called leaders.

Originally posted by LIQAYE: Brother Che, I had not realised that mogadishu was obsessed with Yusuf, indeed using your litmus test of SOL posts the only people who seem to have been bewitched beyond reason by Yusuf are the puntlanders. Thats true for some Planders but for not all, and using the same litmus tests of SOL posts, Iam sure everyday you see Non-Pladers jumping their guns at any reference to Yeey in any post, and at the same time defending the at like C/Qasim, Cadow, Biraale, Sudi, and so forth. Now, this makes wonder what logic do people use to critise one criminal and in the same sentence come the defence of another. There are many myth's that have been created and fostered by the long years of war from the raison d'etre of both puntland and somaliland, to the histories that diffrent people adhere to all over somalia. Myths or no myths, the reason Pland or Sland (tribal enclaves)exist is simply cuz Mogadisho couldn't get its act together. This conviniently hides the fact that these political marauders where never representative of the aspirations of the southern somalis That might be so, but don't the people in the south have a voice, and desire some normalcy like their northern brethens, a normacly which I might add is not perfect, but yet better than total choas. To ascribe some other pervesity to southern somalis, will only mean that somalis will go there own seperate ways, an undertaking no one wants, but a conclusion that will be drawn if Yusuf attempts to rule multi-cultural, multi-clan somalia like mono-clan puntland Iam not ascribing any perversity to my brothers, but Iam stating sad fact . They must demand peace and seek some sort of normalcy, and way to regaining some sense of the lost Somali State. Yusuf will try to run Somalia like monoclan,Lets hope never gets that chance. Otali.....Plz ha ii faani nin some Sayid Barre lackey....Get me someone who had nothing with the past regime, and I will support fully.

Ayoub-Standard/textbook Somali...Hhhmmmmmmmm well, who is to stay thats the standard/textbook Somali. It is all matter of opinion. For all we know people in Baydhabo could be speaking the standard Somali.
