^Everything is qabiil including the so called independence of Somaliland and the creation of state of Puntland. In the absence of legitimate Somali government, tribes can exercise sovereignty in lands under their domain till such time Somalis agree to sit down together and figure their problems.Till then, no qabiil can subjugate the other.Any such attempt will only lead to bloodshed as proven by history.

^I only share Aaliyah's (local) concerns and want the best for those regions. Obviously, her and other locals sincerely believe their interests won't looked after by others. I agree with that sentiment. On positive side, those recently who signed an agreement with Faroole were discredited. They swore that they didn't take payment-the base in the middle is growing and those serving others are being called out. Your attempt to divide reer SSC and create conflict amongst them is noted

^Well said! Progress for every region till Somali state is reconstituted.The locals know what's best for them and where interests lay. It's not in Garowe or Hargeysa that's for sure. AfricaOwn-What makes think they are not?

Which one is the Kenyan foriegn minister?

Go n F yourself peacenow.

^The toxic dumping and over-fishing by foriegn trawlers is non-issue.Somali piracy however is huge problem

Dalmar-This is fight between secessionists and unionists.It is not matter of staying with Puntland or Somaliland, it's matter of opposing the misguided endeavor of those in Hargeysa. It is matter of protecting Somali sovereignty in difficult time. Forget Puntland and be for Somali unity!

ogow farqi baa u dhexeeya: qofkii saa yeela waa gaaloobayaa & hebel waa gaal Isn't that just playing with words-semantics and implications aside, what matters is the consequence which in the case of Somalia usually leads to death.

Kudos to Dem Leaders

It was good to see Dems grow pair and Repubs b*tch and moan.Now we only have the Senate to pass the reconciliation bill and if they don't, the original Senate bill will adopted and the health-care becomes the law of the land. It was funny to see Repubs use the abortion as whip to scare pro-life Dems.It was good Stupak shutdown their argument and they were denied the "motion to recommit".

It looks like it's done deal but like they say don't count your chickens before they hatch.The Senate bill clearly said no monies for abortion. Don't know what Stupak is concerned about-maybe he wants little pork.

^No worries mate-they are not the first or the last to qoor jar people and interpret the diinta in order to fit their goals-I was thinking of starting my own movement-ex warlords will be the first on the chopping board We can agree on thing whether one is Khawariji or Murtad ( I'm not saying anyone is but that's how people in Somalia term others in order to justify killing their "enemies")the Almighty is the final interpreter!

Everything is subject to interpretation and in that light-I should issue on my own fatwas

^I grew up listening to -never had the opportunity to see in concert

Another Congressman switched to YES-. Haatu.....Gabar reer Gaarisiyo ah luuq lagashey

Obama makes final appeal ahead of healthcare vote US President Barack Obama has rallied the support of Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill ahead of a crucial vote on sweeping healthcare reform. Urging them to back the measure in a House vote expected on Sunday, he said: "Let's get this done." Democratic leaders have spent days working to get the 216 votes needed to pass the highly-contested bill. Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he believed the party now had the necessary support. Senior House Democrats have decided on a direct vote to pass a Senate version of the reform bill, rather than using a procedural measure that would have "deemed" it passed without a vote. Vote Yes

Health Care Whip Count Live Updates: Will Reform Bill Have The Votes? Ahead of this weekend's vote on health care reform, Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives have been engaged in fierce behind-the-scenes lobbying of undecided lawmakers whose support will be crucial to final passage of the bill. The magic number that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top Democrats are working toward is 216. On Thursday and Friday her prospects brightened as several fence-sitting lawmakers came out in favor of the bill. Still, there are holdouts and they will be the focus of the Democratic arm-twisting between now and Sunday's vote. Vote Yes

Meiji and Duke, you are missing. While we may disagree on our politics, we can ALL agree that Somali sovereignty and internationally recognized boundaries should be protected even more so in time there's no central government and we are midst of civil war.

Meiji-you should have been happy when Ethiopian are exposed for trying to pull one over Somalis (Puntland is in Somalia I should remind) and Duke, there is no we. Whoever is in Xamar is your problem too.

Khilaaf is my favorite in Somali

Taaloow Maaddeey maxuu ka tanaasule sidii nabad loo,arko? It turns out those in Somali conflict, the ones actually perpetuating the conflict are all connected and profit greatly from Somali misery.The joke is really on those of us that take sides.

JERUSALEM — Israel's foreign minister confirmed Tuesday that he boycotted meetings with the visiting Brazilian president, claiming he refused to visit the grave of the founder of modern Zionism. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israeli media he did not attend President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's speech at the Israeli parliament on Monday or two other meetings. Lieberman said he was upset at Silva's decision not to visit late Zionist leader Theodor Herzl's grave, especially while agreeing to lay a wreath at the tomb of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Wednesday. "A person who is not prepared to visit Herzl's grave but is visiting Arafat's grave, I don't accept that," Lieberman told the Israeli news Web site YNet. He claimed the snub breached protocol. A spokesman from the office of the Brazilian president countered that visiting Herzl's grave was not accepted protocol for a foreign leader's trip. Huff
