Where's the food court?

MMA had it!

Khayr. Are you seriously comparing ISIS fighters to the companions of the Prophet? Tallaabo. What else are you okay with? Can they stop in streets and search you or visit you at work? Giving the security services a free access is the worst thing that can happen!

Dalmar. You missed my point. " President Hassan And DJ are getting stronger they have practically silented the opposition by including them in the Government , now we have all inclusive Government, they have the Parliament under control,and Regional admins under the same manner." The statement above is contrary to the reality on the ground. I think the supporters of this Government will do themselves and the Government a favor by being little bit honest with themselves. For heaven's sake, Alshabab is attacking the Presidential compound almost at will. The Government should be supported but some positive criticism is needed, they lost their way, no strategy, all words and no actions. Another security meeting or announcements will not stem the ever-increasing problems.

Elpunto I am all for educating these kids. The issue is who facilitated their journey to Syria and who recruited them to begin with. I found it hard to believe these kids 'were just caught up in the moment'. It takes a bit of nurturing (indoctrination) and resources to get them where they are now. These girls and others before them will indeed pay dearly, but the idea is to stop them before they go on just perilous journey.

Johnny. Apart from Pland bravado, what's interesting is how our people see the concept of power. They equate power with presidency and premiership, everything else is beneath them. What likes of Mooge and others failed either willfully or by lack intellectual rigor understand is that ambassadorship to the wealthiest and most powerful nation might present more power and influence than any ministry or even madaxtooyada. If one is smart, important relationships can be cultivated with the elites of DC and influence gained. Dalmar and Malistar. You seem to be suffering from 'my uncle is the president' syndrome; a condition that detaches one from prevailing reality. The condition was first diagnosed during Abdullahi Yusuf and Sheikh Sharif era; Duke was patient zero. Juje was the next victim.

Khayr. Accusing someone of anti-Muslim bigotry seems a convenient way of glossing over serious issue. How LayZie phrases her questions might sound anti-Muslim but the question remains how a seemingly, well-rounded, normal teenagers with bright future ended up in Syria. This is not first instance young Somalis going to wars. Not much awaits these young girls in Syria, they are mere pawns or worse, they will passed around as wives to the next 'brother' of the last martyr. Surely, you understand the predicament these kids have put themselves in and the need to avert any similar events.

Beneath him?

Samir iyo iiman.

He does give some insight on how they operate, fear, anonymity and employing one's relative. It seems they have well established intelligence.

The meaning of development needs to be redefined in the Somali context.

Who's radicalizing these kids? More importantly, who paid for their ticket? The reality of war will baptize them and kick some sense into thick skulls, but by then, it might be too late for them to get out. I think there were two sisters from Norway that went to Syria as well? What I don't get is Somalis taking keen interest in conflicts that have nothing to do with them. If you want to "help" Muslims, go to your country of origin and help displaced families. After all, charity is also important in Islam, not mention it is less dangerous.

Sorry Blue....

I think isbarmuto might be Faysal Waraabe, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J0s6D_8Zuo

You are welcome. Who's advising him?

He's indifferent or simply incompetent.

Just shaking head.....

Galbeedi. Few quantifiable individuals benefit from corruption not sub-clans, The sub-clans just take the rap for the misdeeds of the few. I highly doubt Siilaanyo's sub-clan benefit from his administration, his inner circle however does.

Robben admitted diving, what a cheat.

DK You do realize Islam is not central to many people's lives including some Somalis?
