I think we have the tendency to measure Somali people and culture solely based on the past two decades thereby discrediting centuries of Somali culture.

LOL@Labella......it's always the other haye. Is It possible people are confusing Western culture with being liberal? Apophis....there's thing about our people. It's never I, it's always the other Somali that's guilty.

So your parents have backward mentality?

Considering every criminal will have the backing if his tol, a sub-hazard process and vigilant justice will only create more problems. A well out process is required.

Blackfash...These brutes are reflection of their society. You can't slice section of the society and hope for healing. More importantly, this of sort action undermines fledgling institutions in particular judiciary.

Who died and made the judge and executioner?

You want to turn into killer to kill killers. By the time, you are done murdering them, you will fit very criteria that you used to condemn them.

So let me understand this, you want to replicate the very thing that has been going for past two decades.

Crimes against Somali women and girls have become acceptable casualty in the civil war.

LOL Alla hana gaarsiiyo.

But you just came back after saying never...

Never is strong of word.

Somalia...were you in diapers in 2002?

The system of governance is only as good as the people adopted and implemented it. So, it doesn't really matter what system is in place as long as Somalis and their leaders won't honor it and execute it in accordance with stated goals.

There's still a year left I think. XX...I guess 2012 is not over yet.

Labella....Due in time but I assure there's nothing to be scared about.

^In today's world, necessity dedicates only cities with diverse population will enjoy economic advantage. You can kick everyone out but you will be left behind economically, socially and politically unless you have oil or some other raw material. Even tomorrow's world, if there's stable Somalia, it must open its door and become multicultural country that attracts the right talent since our human capacity is low if it want to compete in this world.

3 2 1....... Labella....ignore the above countdown

Any Somali who believes they could deny another Somali the rights to any land is not person that is ready for peace or person understand the common good is greater than personal ambition.

People don't actually make use of the land they claim to own.

I don't know if this is good or bad.
