Funny, only the other day African American woman and white woman I know were both complaining how they are no good men in their communities. It's either there are no good men anywhere or women's expectations are unrealistic.

Let's hope they continue helping but also bring new ideas and solutions to the table.

At best, I thought they will capture ten percent and the brotherhood will take the lions share. On bright side, including them in the political process might moderate them.

Anxiety I can't believe Salifis won quarter of the seats.

I am just afraid it might go the way of Harar and Diridhabe.

*And you are true blooded son...right Beledweyne which only month ago a peaceful town I am sure has benefited from Ethiopian occupation much like Xamar did in 2006. Spare me duqa, you have no more vested interest in Beledweyne than I do and AS are no more violent than your average TGF soldier that robs and kills people but unlike the TFG they provide peace and security which is more than you could say about any group in Somalia. And if you sincerely prefer Ethiopians over AS then good riddance. Perhaps, you should visit Beled Weyne to protect your vested interest under Ethiopian flag.

Ethiopia, like all countries, is after its national interests. Nigga, my father was born in this city and my family has roots in the city:p But really, the idea of foreign forces defeating AS hasn't and will not work and this is made more difficult that the fact Ethiopia finds AS presence useful in some ways, what better way to extort money from the West and say we are fighting terrorist. Only capable Somali army can defeatAS. It has to be Somali led and owned fight till then I will take AS over any foreign enemy who I know come to Somalia only to destroy even more.

Top U.N. official moves to Somalia as violence rages Reuters Tuesday, January 24, 2012 The U.N. special envoy to Somalia moved to Mogadishu on Tuesday for the first time in 17 years, signaling international support for a government fight against Islamist rebels and preparations for elections this year. High-level officials from the United Nations have been based in Kenya's capital Nairobi since 1995 because of security concerns, although its Political Office for Somalia had a few political officers in the capital Mogadishu. Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants withdrew from most of their bases in Mogadishu last August after sustained pressure from Somali and African Union troops, but violence still grips many parts of the country. In Mogadishu, U.N. Special Representative for Somalia, Ambassador Augustine Mahiga arrived at the airport where the U.N. flag was raised. Mahiga was due to meet President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed and African Union force officials. The U.N. said the move signals its commitment to support Somali leaders who adopted a political roadmap in September that is meant to lead to parliamentary and presidential elections in August, ending a series of fragile transition governments. "It is historic to bring the U.N. back to Somalia. The secretary general told me I should go and join you to make the roadmap a reality," Mahiga said as he handed a letter from U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to the Somali president. Speaking in the presidency later, where Somali men performed a traditional dance, Mahiga called on U.N. agencies and other countries to send their representatives to be based in Somalia. BALADWAYNE ATTACK Somalia descended into chaos in 1991 after dictator Siad Barre was ousted. The first internationally backed transitional government was established in 2004 only to lose control to rebels and semi-autonomous administrations. Al Shabaab, who control many parts of southern and central Somalia, have been able to launch guerrilla-style attacks in the capital despite a Kenyan, Ethiopian and Somali offensive. On Tuesday, an al Shabaab fighter rammed a minibus loaded with explosives into a government building in Baladwayne, a town in central Somalia about 45 km (28 miles) from Ethiopia. "A minibus carrying explosives entered Baladwayne administration headquarters compound. Government soldiers tried to stop it by firing but all in vain," Hussein Aden, a senior military official, told Reuters by phone. Aden said there was no immediate report of casualties and the area surrounding the compound had been sealed off. Aden Abdulle, head of a militia fighting alongside Somali and Ethiopian soldiers against al Shabaab, said the building housed Transitional Federal Government lawmakers and Ethiopian and Somali government soldiers. Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. "We carried the car bomb successfully into the Ethiopian and Somali base in Baladwayne this morning. Our brave driver is martyred. There we killed many Ethiopian and Somali troops on a parade," said al Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab. Al Shabaab said in a statement it had killed 33 Ethiopian soldiers and wounded at least 72. There was no immediate comment from Addis Ababa. Ethiopian soldiers previously went into Somalia in late 2006 and pushed the Islamist organization, Islamic Courts Union, out of Mogadishu. The Ethiopian presence helped fuel the rise of al Shabaab and the foreign troops left in early 2009. Al Shabaab, which wants to impose a harsh interpretation of sharia on the Horn of Africa nation, has waged a five-year campaign to drive the largely impotent government from power. http://www.hiiraan.com/news2/2012/Jan/top_u_n_official_moves_to_somalia_as_violence_rages.aspx
