^If you both have nothing substantive to say then turn this into childish squabble. Zack-What global, these men have operated within the Somali borders and never venture beyond-don't pay to rhetoric. Look at their actions.I don't condone calling people apostate.Lastly,there are many unfortunate incidents but in civil wars, there are always casualties but targeting TFG leaders is legitimate goal-whether if that's moral is another question.

^Yup but Haatu is no fascist though he's Pan Somalist. Jacpphar-Al-Shaab maku qarowdaa?

^Mayee bal adigu Al-Shabaab maxaad uga soo horjeedaa?

^Sharif hypocrisy and lack of leadership isku darsadey-big disappointment anyway you look at it.

Zack-None of the entities are really appetizing. I exclude Al-Shabaab despite over-zealousness. But since we are in the mode of asking loyalties-who do you support?

^I'm not dhab-that's all you need to know but your trend is valid observation.

^Duke has valid points!! Laakin lacag moves everything. Odaga big purse amuu Addis kala soo laabanaa.

Originally posted by Haatu: ^ As long as they don't cause problems. What problems they could possibly do that has already been done by Somalis.

Somehow I imagine Maaddeey Musa Suudi cimaamad xirtey oo Quraanka carabi kadhigtey.

Zack iyo A&T lagama waaye meel Puntland lagu sheegay-I just noticed the trend

^Regardless, Somali Christians should practice their faith freely.

A little diversity won't hurt.

I hate to agree with Duke but xaafado la,isku dhax ceyrsanaayo means nothing. The stinky thing about Somali civil war no one party can overwhelm the rest. This is even more difficult when so many foreigners are involved.

Let's see if the secessionist start b*tching like Faroole and Co

^I'm offended by this-are you saying Jb and Qudhac are yaxaas. I could see NGONGE in the background

^How does a country dominated by one nation or another at any given time survive this long? And what are the possibilities of Tigrays sharing the power with the rest of Ethios?

^I was trying to find loophole but buddy it's

^It's but it setups the legal framework for any possible secession. LooooL@new love-let's just say knowing A&T has some benefits not that he wasn't good fella to begin

^She tried! Article 39: Rights of Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Every Nation, Nationality and People in Ethiopia has an unconditional right to self-determination, including the right to secession. Ethiopian Constitution

LooooooooL@Castro-History can always be revised. I gues Nomadique didn't find one/

The 2010 Election and the Formidable Cartel in the Somali Region By Ali Abdi March 30, 2010 Editor’s Note: WardheerNews is delighted to post this essay and we do so only after we thoroughly checked the facts through well connected and knowledgeable individuals. The picture that came out after our initial but serious fact checking is that this article and its expose stand on strong legs. Wardheernews welcomes an opposing view point to this. In the runner up to the May, 2010 elections, the editorial board anticipates a healthy and heated debate on the fairness of the elections, with special attention given to its authenticity or the lack thereof of in the Somali Regional State. ______________________________ The election in the federal republic of Ethiopia is scheduled to be held on May 2010. For the first time, the Somali Region might hold its election the same day as the National Election Day. In light of the upcoming election, there is a wide discussion within the Somali Region and its Diaspora communities about what this election will bring for the region. Based on thorough analysis of the situation and the formidable interest group that runs the region, the authors argue that the status quo will continue as it is, if not worsen, and nothing will change in the way the Somali Regional State is governed. This essay is to shed some light on the core beneficiary group of the status quo and why this group will do everything in its power to block progressive individuals from coming into power. The role of the Tigray Army Commanders in Somali Region

By Ginbot 7 Research Team February 20, 2010 Introduction A few months ago, Ginbot 7’s research team presented an extensive list of the top military commanders of the Woyane regime including their names, their position in the military and their ethnic background. That meticulously researched study showed how the current military of Meles Zenawi’s regime is totally dominated by one ethnic group where by some 95% of the top brass of the military emanate from the Tigrian ethnic group representing about 6% of the population. While this was a shocking revelation to Ethiopians and foreign observers alike, some apologists of the Woyane regime, presented this as a natural development similar to the dominance of the Shewa Amharas during the imperial regime and the broader ethnic Amharas that supposedly dominated the Derg regime. We felt at the time that this argument was problematic for two reasons. First, the nature of ethnic dominance that is observed during the Woyane period seemed to be more purposeful, calculated and certainly more excessive than any of the regimes in the past. Second, even if there was systematic ethnic dominance in the past, it surely does not justify the perpetuation of dominance by a new group, which would only increase ethnic animosity and destabilize the society further.
