DK....As a heterosexual, conservative Somali male, you need to understand SOL has a lot of LGBT supporters. You are a minority now and you are being targeted for your views and wholesome, traditional lifestyle. I commend you for standing your ground :-) Don't given in to these radical liberals and their gay agenda

This young woman can perhaps teach them a thing or two

What about cheap Somali laborers? Mase our poverty stricken people are too proud? Who paid the money, Somaliland Government?

Good development. Was there a competitive bidding? Chinese companies are better experienced and more efficient. They are building the airports in Djibouti and Bosaso, and not to mention many infrastructure projects in Ethiopia itself. Projects like this one might have enticed the Chinese to invest more in Somali lands.

He does look like his brother.

Somalee. What's real situation in Xamar? Our people tend to either exaggerate or diminish progress back home.

^Do you have spoil it?

Hehe@Moogae, nagadaa boowe

All of our youth is in despair.

Threats? Hehe

I am only 10% Berber

Reer Hiiraan are not too keen on this. I am waiting for what they will do with Benadir?

I actually had dna analyzed. I am apparently a mixture of Middle Eastern, Berber and Bantu. The test was not detailed but supposedly that's my ethnic make-up.

I like the terminology-gender reassignment.

Good to see Mogadishu rising, all Somalis will benefit greatly if this city continues to grow and stabilize. Somalis need big five or six urban centers serving as business, cultural and administrative centers. Mogadishu, Kismayo, Beledweyne, Baydhabo, Bosaso, Hargeisa and Berbera.

We don't honor our people. I don't think they would have been statue.

Neo Nazi? Kidding me. She seemed to hit a nerve with the poster.

Saalax...so many people from a particular region died simply because the hotel owners mostly employed people from that region. And how is this attack any different from attacks against Shaamo, Maka al-Mukarama, SYL and Jaziira hotels? Alshabab doesn't give sh!t about who is who. It will target wherever important people gather. And it is clear they have moles everywhere including among hotel employees around the city.

No sides taken? no shiit hehe. Future....Guns and anarchy haven't brought peace to Mogadishu for 20 plus years. If any group insists on staying in power through anarchy, Mogadishu and Somalia at large will suffer. It looks like you are more for agenda of few men who use the ignorant and poor Somali masses as leverage in order to reach a very narrow goal. P.s. I actually wish "anarchists" would be pacify the city and rid the city off foreign troops. Then they can keep the presidency as long as they want. With power comes responsibility.

I think these people are just looking for a reason to hang out and party.

<cite> @thefuturenow said:</cite> Till, The 2016 story is already written. And no one is going to defeat the "anarchists" as XX calls them with guns. We can put that strategy to the side. . Mooryaanimo is strategy now?

Here's the video about the security in Puntland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzElPhukBXg Odey..it is god to know they enjoy some indepedebce. I was wondering if Abdiweli had agreed to this or not.

Yoniz. It is surprisingly hopeful. TGS..Abdiweli can perhaps take advantage of upcoming reconciliation conference to create confidence and connect the citizens to the Government. More importantly, he needs to keep his promises of reforming the security and justice sectors in order to deal with Alshabab, tribal conflicts, daily individual crimes and possible developments like Daacish. Galbeedi. The security report is bluntly more honest. I wonder if it was done with Abdiweli's approval.

You know the scary thing is how well armed clans are, I never appreciated the proliferation of small arms and the ease with which arms can be imported. I think the honorable thing for Siiraanyo to do would be to step aside after one term.
