Xiin..The obstacles facing the Caravan are deep and numerious,but the core problems are: Washington Policy Makers (The establishment which out lives every president) favor Ethiopia and are not keen to say Somali statehood. I had an exchange with Dr. Michael of Purdue University, and someone from Kerry's office. They both acknowledge the misery in Somalia and America's involvement, but they also agreed it is unlikely anything would change as far as America stance on Somalia is concerned. Circumstances might forced them to scale back or even end the occupation, they are however not interested nor they do wanna see a stable Somalia. The second problem here is direct involvement of Ethiopia and Kenya in the Somali situation. Neither these countries as I'm sure you know wants a united viable Somali state.Any hope of peace and stability will always be jeaporidised by these states through proxies in Somalia. The third problem here is Al-Shabaab whose intentions are in the right place, and are fighting the right cause in order to free the people.These boys though committed to freeing the land lack pragmitism and the political foresight to establish a working authority or atleast build the framework for political discourse.They unfortunately atleast in my view don't possess a notable leader who could look towards the future. They have the ability and the means to change Somalia, but they sadly lack a leader that is knowledgable and versed in the art of politics. War alone won't fix anything. The last problem and the biggest are thethe TFG, Sharif and all other Somali factions. They are problem in the sense these are alliances of convenience. Their only common goal is their opposition to their shared enemies. When circumstances are changed new allainces are created, and the political landscape changes. It is difficult to deal with or accomadate people with no fixed political philosophy or common cause. It has been four yrs since the TFG took power. They spend all yrs fighting each other, and trying to hold together coalition of misfits. The courts fared better initially, but we see today, there are so many splinter groups, we stop caring who is who. Somalis are indeed hungry, and I sincerely believe the war despite how it ends won't solve the problems we face today. What we need are leaders who have broader sense of the world ( appreciatate and understand Ethiopia, States, and Kenya's intentions), leaders that actually feel their people's pain and wants to end misery, and leaders that are not driven by personal ambitions or the need to loot. Of the list of men active in the Somalia, I see none that has these qualities. The only option left for Somalia is popular rising, but the sadly we people have become sheep. Groupkii yimaadaan marba usacab tunaa.

^He can't police the place all time. I think Xiin should be the bigger man, and let it be.

^Do you wanna put friendly wager on TFGs revival?

I think Geel-Jire is saying, if we could knock her up, he ain't a kid then . 16yrs old can legally get married in the States, don't know about down under. Does anyone remeber that a teacher from Seattle who eventually married pupil after doing time?

^For how long though?. It is bad that they are Tigray stooges, but it is even worse that they can't run a shop, let alone government. I have said long time, one need viable partner to make any progress. In fighting is the trademark of all Somali factions.

^Dulinimo caado ku noqoto si luuga soo kabsado. TfG was done the way Tigrays starting leveling from grounds of Villa Somalia. Nin taa fiirsade wax kasta waa kasuur toobaan. But symptoms seem deeper not in these men, but the in larger Somali society. Something is off!!!

^Taming not literally in sense, I guess you are not wild child.

^I only saw the hightlights, unfortunately I had to be somewhere, but I was hoping my tickets would for the Hawks or King James' Cleveland.

LooooooL@cl, may be so, but my question should have he could tame Cl and hello dear

^Sex change? Cl..I guess it is easier to tame the white boy

^The Gambian or the white dude?

^LooooooooooooooooL...I guess you are not fan of Cadde anymore. Kuwaan kii wax kasugaya ka waalin.

MS.DD, if it was my daughter yup Islamically, isn't he an adult, I think you are looking it through the prisms of western legal system.

LooooooooooooL@give a her hand..Otay Ibti This kid get lucky and took her court-dimwit. Where were teachers when I was in high school? It is mostly blondie that screw teenage boys in here, and they always get slap on the hand. If it is guy, the sentence is more stiff. LoooooooL@sex slave...naught girl

I think it is best we leave it here!!! Duke...Call me Che.

^If you are one of "his" people and you disagree with him, then you must be from "weak" clan , I guess your case a Goldogob and in my case, Burtinle, I don't know what made him think I was from Burtinle?

^It is not right but it is expected.

^LoooooooooooooooL

^I don't understand the sligh against single mothers?/ Is that suppose to be offensive.
