^Waryaa nagadaa, you no longer have Sijui blood. Oodweyne. If anything else, the man is entertaining. I liked his theories on Hasan and Damjadiid before the Ankara meeting.

Oodweyne. Waraabe throws accusations around before every meeting only to praise the process later.

Xaaji. Doesn't he carry Waraabe like purse to every meeting?

Stoic. It is tricky situation for them. If they do attend, they are no different than parties.

^The same London being co-chaired by Hasan, are you sure?

We lack moderation, what was recreational is turned into habit.

Whatever arrangement is in place in Galkayo works for the people. There's movement of people and goods but it is up to the community if they want unified administration. lol@Carafaat, sure you were born and breed in Xamar. So is every Somali.

Xiin. For people claiming to be from different country, their obsession with Somalia is rather puzzling and unhealthy. Carafaat. Dire security situation? what have you been smoking?

Galkayo is better left to the community that live there and any appointment by the federal government is unwarranted provocation.

(AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici) ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey's Prime Minister says he sees hope for the unification of the breakaway Somaliland region with Somalia. Recep Tayyip Erdogan was speaking on Tuesday, days after Turkey hosted a first round of talks between the Somali and Somaliland presidents to encourage dialogue between the two. Somalia wants Somaliland to be part a united country. But the territory, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has been a haven of relative peace amid the chaos in the country's south, is seeking international recognition. The two leaders agreed to continue talks after meeting in the Turkish capital on Sunday. Erdogan says they would meet again in Istanbul "within 90 days" for a second round of talks. http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Turkey+sees+hope+unification+Somalia+Somaliland/8248448/story.html

I was far away from the epicenter, still a bit unsettling though. Any vacations this summer?
