Isn't Al-Shabaab an indigenous movement? If the world let them be, Somalia will be in better shape.

This is internal issue and has nothing to do Al-Shabaab.

^looool..how could be you sure?

Sagbo is not the first black politician in Russia's history.Many centuries before him, was the famous Abram Petrovich Gannibal-the governor of what was then called Reval. Gannibal is also the grandfather of Aleksandr Pushkin-the greatest Russian poet and the father of Russia's modern day literature.

The irony seems to be lost on some.

^A lot of people should apologize to you Duke

I wonder how those who opposed Ethiopia will now justify this?

The Zack....Does mean Somaligalbeed belongs to Somalia? I thought ONLF was fighting for indepedent Ocadenia?

^Abwaan waa adigii Cabdilaahi Yusuf aflagaadeyn jirey bal Sharif maxuu maanta ugadu wayanyahe. Tabar la,aan tala xumo iyo gaal haku waardiyeeyo beey labaduba isla wa daagaan. Sharif munaafiqnimo kusii darsadey. Midakale shaley waxaad dadka ku ceeneyse hadaad maanta ku dhax dabaalaneysid hadee say cid waxa uga sheegi kartaa. Laakin we can agree far kaliya foolma dhaqdo. Taladu Shariif waxee ka xu maantey when we went to Addis right after he get elected.He should have gone to Xamar, Garowe and any other "friendly" Somali town to seek people's support.

Interview with Gudoomiyaha Shirkadda Telesom Buuhoodle I felt bad for the guy.

watchu niggaz talking about? Haati..ugaali ku subaxeesataa, duhureysaa kuna cisheysaa umaleynaa ee nagadaa kac iyo kuc waxba kama ogid.

^Stop being silly too ninyahow

Amir, you was funny

^How could country not have codified law? I understood that they are doing for clarity but it looks the opposition is fiercely opposed because they think the intent of Quran and Sunnah will be altered. And then there's consensus the Ulemma need to agree when issues such as, let's say artificial insemination comes up. I think the fear is the law becomes living document which needs to be reinterpreted and changed. I don't why they mention the economy but vibrant economy obviously need codified rules and regulations.

I'm surprised people haven't commented on this topic.It's an interesting development and potentially consequential one. So to be clear, do people think codifying the Sharia and building consensus on issues or situations that are not clearly defined in the Quran and Sunnah will somehow alter, redefine or diminish the meaning and the quality of the DIVINE LAW (Quran)?

We would never evict innocent koonfurian civilians what loud of cr*p have zero intentions in koonfurian politics right

It's shameful what his admin are doing to our brothers from the South-people must speak up!

In that case, surely you couldn't compare SSDF and SNM to the Somali state.Both were started by few men and the people they sought to "represent" paid hefty price for these movement's ambitions. Keyse and Xagslatoosiye may differ on things but they are united in their sentiments against Somaliland.

Thank you. It takes big man to admit his assessment of Sharif was off base. Now only if we will admit to ourselves, governments parachuted into Villa Somalia will nothing to change the reality.

^Being opportunistic is the nature of politician or those that aspire to be politicians.I don't see how Xaqlatoosiye is any different than those that seek any political office. Puntland and Somaliland were created by opportunistic men who whipped tribe's passions just so they could have their piece of the pie.You can't blame the guy for the same thing only few decades ago.
