^LOL....If you so Raamsade "Kenya intends to push its troops to Somalia's insurgent stronghold of Kismayo and will stay until there are no Islamist insurgents left, a Kenyan military spokesman said Thursday, as the militants were pushed back on two fronts by pro-Somali government forces supported by foreign troops." http://news.yahoo.com/kenya-advances-towards-somali-city-kismayo-130206724.html

Johnny...If I could admit that AS has been weakened and made many plunders, surely you can admit Kenyans are ineffective and hardly make dent in the Southern front. They even suck at propaganda. If we were to believe them, Bobville aka Kismayo should have been in their hands by now.

Abwaan....I don't deny or defend what happen in Burco and Hargeysa, and I hope you are not defending what happened in 90s? We need framework to deal with these crimes and set precedence for future Somali Government(s).

^LOL Makes me wonder if 'Azania' would have been better off liberating NFD:D

Kenyan troops may pull out of Somalia this October By FRED MUKINDA fmukinda@ke.nationmedia.com Saturday, March 03, 2012 Kenyan troops fighting the Al-Shabaab in Somalia may pull out in eight months, the Department of Defence announced on Saturday. This is after the Kenya Defence Forces joined African Union troops in the war against the terrorist group, a joint military effort scheduled to end on October 31. However, Kenyan forces may continue operating in Somalia beyond October if a peaceful situation in the lawless country will not have been realised. “Since we were integrated into the Amisom (African Union Mission in Somalia), we are going to operate within the Amisom mandate which expires on October 31 this year. As long as it takes “We expect to be there for as long as that mandate is running. The mandate is peace enforcement,” said spokesman Colonel Cyrus Oguna. KDF entered Somalia in October last year to fight the militia linked to the global Al-Qaeda terror network. Uganda, Burundi and Djibouti have 13,000 troops fighting the Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu. The United Nations Security Council resolution that allowed KDF’s integration into Amisom voted to increase the number of troops to 17,731. Senior military and political leaders are scheduled to meet in Addis Ababa this week to determine the number of personnel to be deployed by the contributing countries. “The meeting will also discuss the command structure of an expanded military strength and other logistics,” said Foreign Affairs official Lindsey Kiptenes. They were speaking to journalists on Saturday during the weekly briefing on Operation Linda Nchi, KDF’s involvement in Somalia. Said Col Oguna: “From October 31 onwards, our presence (in Somalia) will depend on the assessment of what will be prevailing on the ground at the time by African Union Peace and Security Council. They may determine to extend the period or otherwise.” And, in the event enforcement ends as scheduled, he added, it would be followed by peace keeping, according to UN regulations. “Thus the possibility of our troops remaining is quite high,” said Col Oguna. Col Oguna said KDF carried out air strikes in Hulugho on Wednesday last week in which 11 Al-Shabaab technical vehicles were destroyed. Source: Daily Nation

Oodweyne.how should governments deal with rebel movements that want to overthrow them?

Al-shabaab oo shaacisay inay askar ka tirsan ciidamada Puntland ku dileen weerar ay ku qaadeen duleedka Boosaaso Sabti, Maarso 03, 2012 (HOL) — Xarakada Al-shabaab ayaa sheegay inay shan ka mid ah askarta Puntland ku dileen weerar ay xalay saqdii dhexe ku qaadeen fariisin ay ku sugnaayeen ciidamada ammaanka Puntland. Afhayeenka howlgallada Al-shabaab, Sheekh C/casiis Abuu-Muscab oo la hadlayay raadiyaha Andulus ee ku hadla afka Al-shabaab ayaa sheegay inay ciidamadooda ku sugan Puntland weerareen koontarool ku yaalla Koonfurta Boosaaso. "Mujaahidiintu waxay xalay weerarro ku qaadeen koontarool ku yaalla Koonfurta Boosaaso oo ay ku sugnaayeen ciidamada Puntland, waxaana halkaas lagu dliay shan ka mid ah askartaas, tiro kalena waa lagu dhaawacay," ayuu yiri afhayeenka milateriga ee Al-shabaab. Sidoo kale, Sheekh C/casiis Abuu-Muscab ayaa sheegay in ciidamadooda ay ku furteen dagaalkaas hub iyo saanad kale oo ciidan, ayna dib ugu laabteen halkii ay kasoo duuleen markii hore iyagoo aanay wax khasaare ah gaarin. Ma jirto hadal kasoo baxay dhinaca Puntland oo ku saabsan arrintan, waxaase ay kooxaha ku jira buuraha galgala ee Gobolka Bay ay dhawaan ku dhawaaqeen inay la midoobeen Al-shabaab ayna xoojinayaan dagaallada ay kula jiraan Puntland. Geesta kale, wararka laga helayo gobolka Bari ayaa sheegaya inuu saakay dhacay dagaal culus oo ka qarxay inta u dhexeysa deegaanka Sugurre iyo buuraha Galgala kaasoo aan la ogeyn inuu xiriir la leeyahay dagaalkii xalay iyo in kale. Dagaalka u dhexeeya ciidamada Puntland iyo xoogagga Islaamiyiinta ah ee ku sugan gobolka Bari ayaa waxay billowdeen sannadkii 2010, iyadoo maamulka Puntland uu dhowr jeer oo hore sheegay inay cagta mariyeen, balse ay muuqato inay kooxdaas weli khatar ku tahay Puntland.

There were countless members who had no direct responsibility for the crimes of the regime, who even helpen jews or opposed some of the policies. But just to be on the safe side and history didnt repeat itself, a Berufsverbot(ban on Career) as Politician was established. The leaders of the New Germany didnt want another World War, Germany had suffered so much during the 1st and 2nd World War, that it banned hundred thousands of people to hold a political office till their name was cleared. Now, everyone who knows Somali history from the 1960 to the recent history knows what kind of destructive role Politicians mainly from Puntland played in Somalia's Politics. The corruption, clannism and voter rigging in the 60's, SSDF role, Abshir Farah's, Omar Sharmarke major corruptions and failures of establishing a goverment and Abdullahi Yussuf's destructive role of bringing Ethiopians to massacre Somali civlians and destroy xamar to the ground, and by this laying the seeds for Al Shabaab's birth. And all the whicked counter policies of stimulating and profiting from Piracy, arresting Sheicks for terrorism by PIS and the same time creating mashruucs of so called anti Piracy, anti terrorism from CIA without actually solving it. Ofcourse one can not state that all Politicians from Puntland are bad leaders with bad policies that are destructive for Somalia. I am not going to argument there should be a Berufsverbot for National politicians from Puntland. For this wouild be clannism and waste of potential exceptions. But the National leaders from Puntland we have seen so far have dissapointed us every bit. This should make us more cautious of any future aspirant Politcian from that region, their policies should be watched more critically, what they say and dont say should be analyzed and double checked for facts just to be sure and voters are advised to be cautios when dealing with Puntland Politicians. So Puntland is Nazi regime...looool

cheap stuff

They didn't get the right nails-I recommend Home-depot:D
