One warlord was replaced by another warlord favored by a foreign government. I am sure Madobe was welcomed with open arms by all residents of Jubbaland. If you sincerely believe Kenya is not Somalia's enemy, me trying to convince otherwise is pointless.

I don't care for Ugandans and Burundians either. lol@Jubbaland, no side won, but the Somali public lost. Anyone Somali who believes the front-line states or AMISOM are helping SOmalia is deluding himself. KDF is fattening itself of illegal charcoal and sugar trade as Kenya lays claim on Somali territorial waters, not mention the crimes they committed against Somali civilians, in particular, nomads. They have been carpet-bombing Gedo indiscriminately, but I guess Somali lives are acceptable casualties. Any serious person would now come to understand after almost a decade in Somalia, AMISOM has no interest in helping Somalia and to expect any help from your arch enemy is ridiculous. Only Somalis CAN DEFEAT Al-Shabab. Those (including reer land this or that)serious about Somalia's revival must support the formation of a professional Somali army, otherwise waxaan iska sheeko.

The same way Ethiopians are part of AMISOM? And were they part of AMISOM when they invaded Somalia?

Mandate? Hehe, sheekadaada waa isyeelyeel.

I don't care about the vermins but to say the KDF came to get rid off them?

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> Why ? That you would prefer any adoonsi is amazing,it is defeatism, resigning yourself to oblivion. And the choice between AS and Kenya is false choice.

<cite> @somalee said:</cite> Those soldiers died trying to help the president rid his country of those vermin. P Can you be serious?

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> ^ I prefer kenyaan adoonsi to AS/daacish adoonsi. how about your gooni ? That's the saddest thing that I heard you say.

Aight, who advises Siiraanyo on these matters? And isn't Erigavo losing population? Why expel people that are obviously keeping it alive and contributing to its vitality?

Kenyans get owned. http://www.hiiraan.com/news/2016/Jan/wararka_maanta21-94579.htm

How this different than the colonial missionaries or even today's missionaries fanning out to all over the world? I am reminded of When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible. Jomo Kenyatta Give the Syrian his chance to take Germany.

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> American Democrats didn't support Bush in his criminal war against Iraq, that is what is expected of you. Majority of them did (or at least they didn't have guts to say no)! They voted for the authorization of the Iraq war, Hilary included. It is only when the sh!t hit the roof that they started to criticize Bush.

You absolutely know nothing about this woman, so many assumptions.

How about big Qatar training camp? What's ultimate goal of the Turks? There's no such as free meal.

Can you translate the duco?

Haa.

gooni, the airport will serve the Mudug, Nugal, Bari, Sool and Sanaag. The people, that had to travel to these regions, were forced to go to Hargeisa and Mogadishu. It is a matter of need and this part of Somalia needed a decent airport. The population size and the land mass does justify the cost. As for customers, I would not underestimate the returnees, business people and others who come to see and possibly invest. Of course, a tourism industry is highly unlikely now. However, potential investors (who are the actual targets) need infrastructures, ports, roads, etc. One must have good infrastructure before investors can even entertaining coming to Somalia. We cannot attract investors if we shelf projects just because there might not be customers. Besides, Puntland have embarked on building roads (Ceel-Dahir to Ceerigaabo), (renovating Galkacayo-Garowe) (Goldogob-Galkacayo.

Hehe, where did I support the old man? I am just saying we, Somalis, rush to undo things without offering a better alternative! The old man will be gone as he would not stand for next election. I think what Saalax and others should worry about is to work on finding a leader that offers a real change, preferably someone who is not from the old guard.

Saalax. People used to curse Siyad Barre and wished him away without thinking about what will come after his departure. It is not only about wishing away Siiraanyo, there needs to be someone better or at-least someone that will not be any worse.

Somaliland needs to retire SNM/Barre era leaders. They have taken Somaliland as far as they can. New blood is needed, one that will develop the region instead of just being obsessed recognition.

The project is moving along. I am liking things are actually being done :-) http://www.allsanaag.com/index.php/43-war-soomaali-ah/6902-qalabkii-jidka-barkaysan

Alpha, I have been considering that lately in serious manner. In America, it seems your life is determined by paying bills and incurring debt.. It's cliche but I do miss the simple life. Mooge, please do share!

Bayla, Qardo and Bossaso districts are Bariga dhow. Alula (Cape Guardafui ), Iskushuban and Qandala districts are the Bari fog, a land with beautiful beaches, date farms and surprisingly some green areas. I don't mind a beach house on Ras Hafun and a cottage in Calmadow. :-)

Mooge. I don't mind projects for any part of Somalia. We need economic revitalization so our youth will stop making hazardous journey to Europe. What worries me the money will go to private pockets and be used for private projects including stealing elections. And how much Siiraanyo was paid, I wonder? You are too hopeful galbeedi,

Hehe, one wonders where the 50 million would go?
