^I see you are slowly joining the chorus...welcome abroad. Oodweyne...I admire your persistence, and absolute devotion to your cause, I really do, but you are old enough to remember and wise to know the strategic interest of Ethiopia in Somalia , and its willingness to entertain any Somali "leader" that will do its bidding. To portray Riyaale's meeting with Zenawi as diplomatic triumph for Somaliland is self-deceptive at best or delusional at worst. I'm afraid you are neither. Unlike the kids here on SOL that became indoctrinated with 'Somaliland wey duushay philosophy" or the grown men who chose to wear blinkers, Oodweyne you very well understand Riyaale's official meeting with Zanewi has no implication for Somaliland, and carries no more weigh than that of Faroole's or any other so called Somali 'leader'. Now, since you brought up Garoweonline, of course I know that's Farole's mouthpiece, and I know you know that, and you know I know that, and you very well know I'm not getting one past you. The point of my post were the images of Mr Faroole's with Ethio officials. Now, this forced Mintid to acknowledge Faroole's visit was more than a sitdown with appointed mid-level bureaucrat, but wait, now he wants a pic of Faroole kissing the ring of the godfather himself(Zenawi) (something funnily enough I expected him to say). And if such image were to show up, then next argument would be, geeze the official Ethio media didn't carry the story, and BBC had nothing to translate. Oodweyne..I understand you have be on message, but seriously, from SSDF,SNM (I know they are your heroes, and they were merely using the Derg regime just like Yeey was using Zenawi's army), USC, RRA, Mogadisho's infamous warlords, Puntland, Somaliland to the new outfit battling Al-Shabaab in Galgaduud Ahlu Sunah are/were beholden to Ethiopia one time or another. Here is what Jb quoted to show the stark 'difference' between Faroole and Riyaale visit. Federal police boss, Puntland president discuss human trafficking Ethiopian premier in talks with Somaliland president Now if you wanna sport Jb's usual big grin, and take comfort in that, by all means, but the thing about you is you know better. Anyhow, Soomaalida waxey tiraahdaa gaal waa ladilaa, gartiisana waa la,siiyaa, so to be fair tell me, does Somaliland's relationship with Ethiopia paid any dividends, and how's this relationship any different from that of Puntland, TFG, and any other Somali regions or leader/ relationship with Ethiopia? Please, ha cuskan your usually "something is in the workings argument" Anyway, dadkeeno tusaale maqaantaa, but here are Zenawi and his once most loyal pets

Madaxweynaha DGPL iyo wafti uu hogaaminayo oo maalmahaan ku sugnaa wadanka Ethiopia ayaa maanta magaalada Addis Ababa si gooni gooni ah xafiisyadooda ula kulmay Raísal Wasaaraha Ethiopia Meles Zenawi & Wasirrka arrimaha dibada Ethiopia Atto: Sayoum Mesfin. web page Jb n Mintid...You were saying? N missed nothing Sxb, big dog Riyaale was given state-level welcome and met the Ethio's prime minister, while Faroole was relegated to meeting lower level officials....I guess Mintid has no argument to make now which stinks for those believe Ethiopia prefers one Somali over the other. Ethiopia prefers any Somali who does their bidding in Somalia., so my friends just cuz Riyaale was given the first opportunity to give Zenawi a special lap dance doesn't mean Zenawi gives a hoot about Somaliland and status as an "important" state. So, folks get your head out of your @sses. The Amxaar who levelled Xamar leveled to the ground could give sh*t!!! believe me when I say you are no different than those Somalis the Woyanes massacred in my Xamar Cadeey. You are all the same, and when Zenawi is done with Faroole and Riyaale, he would discard them like condom, just like he did to Yeey n Fanaxley

^I was surrpised at the extent of time and effort the security apparutus spend on the issue, and it is not FBI and local police departments. They are looking at Somali centers. What is more disheartening the characterization of the Somali conflict, and how they wanna potray as part of 'global jihad' without any reference to the miseries that befallen on our people, and the crimes committed against the Ethios, and Bush regime. The investigation continues into why a dozen or so young Somali men disappeared from the Twin Cities and are believed to be fighting in Somalia. MPR's Michael Caputo spent some time with three teenagers -- the kind of kids who attend class regularly, play sports and hold part-time jobs. He asked the teens what they know -- or what they've heard -- about the disappearances of those young men. web page

Lily-Lack of oppurtunities and the failure of ANC to deliver any real changes for the black majority is driving force behind this xenophobic attacks. The expectations of the people were so high, but only few black elites benefitted from the end apartheid, the rest are still poor, and the immigrants represent a new threat to their already meager resources. Adam...Why are you taking their women. I guess Somali men must be a catch there-Zulu and Xhosa falling over Faraxs

This is unfortunate for Somalis in America, and Somalia!. Somali community under suspicion and being monitored by homeland security. The Bush policies to continue in Somalia!

Please do listen-this has consequences for all of us

^I don't think you could compare this to kid taunted by couple of @ssholes. This is far more brutal and consequential.

Duceysane...Please don't spread insidious mischaracterization of black men (and women too)by racist 19th century Europeans anthropologists, now propagated by popular media. Pucca...It seems you like them for aesthetic reasons.

" These things"...that's what come to for Somalis..how unfortunate Power struggles blamed for xeno attacks A recent study into last year’s xenophobic attacks indicates that the violence was organised and led by local groups and individuals. And they were carried out to consolidate the authority and power needed to further political and economic interests. The attacks were part of broad structural and historical factors which include the legacy of institutional discrimination and generalised mistrust among citizens, police and the elected leaders. The research was conducted by the Forced Migration Studies Programme at the University of Witwatersrand. Other factors identified for contributing to the violence which started in Gauteng in May 2008 are institutionalised practices that exclude foreigners from political participation and justice. “Often premised on limited knowledge of and respect for the country’s laws and policies, these practices continue to criminalise and villainise foreign nationals and other ‘outsiders’,” says the report. Researchers Jean Pierre Misago, Loren B Landau and Tamlyn Monson also identified a lack of trusted, prompt and effective conflict resolution mechanisms that led to vigilantism. The research found that political vacuums or competition in community leadership encouraged the emergence of unofficial, illegitimate and often violent local leadership. According to the study, these leaders enhanced their authority and power by reinforcing communities’ resentment towards what is perceived as “non-compliant” foreign nationals. It was found that there is also a culture of impunity with regard to public violence in general and xenophobic violence, in particular. “That encourages the ill-intentioned to attack non-nationals and other outsiders for personal and or political gain.” There was little evidence to support early explanations that blamed the eruption of the violence on a “third force”, poor border control, changes in national political leadership, or rising food and commodity prices. But these factors may have contributed to generalised tensions. Researchers could not explain why violence occurred in some places, not others. - By THANDUXOLO JIKA stories vidoes

^Nagatag, here I thought you have actual thing for koreans.....It is all about Canucks iska dhehdidow This one has funny Asian accent..of course I'm stereotyping. Adam-Is it any good?

These guys get jokes

The sad was people got fixated on the image-just the idea of vulture eating human being, but nobody asked how did kid find in him that situation. Who put him in that predicament?

More the world changes the more it stays same-these issues still relevant!! Couple weeks back, there's almost brawl in our class over this haunting image of vulture stalking a near death kid-the same image in video.

^Please do tell. They are both Korean Korean
