Well, i'm Ok saaxibayaal. i went home but didn't stay there for a long. Tried to visit the hospital but thousands of people were there to check if their relatives are among the dead/wounded. Police were shooting bullets on air to disperse the people. Nobody was allowed to go inside the hospital. Initial information: Around 20 died and more than 30 wounded. One of the dead was my classmate. Bodies of the suicide bombers were laying at the presidential palace if they could be identified.

ALL OF THEM WERE CAR BOMBS ,,,,

Targets in Hargeisa: The Presidential Palace The Ethiopoian Embassy The UNDP office Still there is no indication of casualities but There are huge bodies both at the presidency and Ethiopian embassy specially those who are there to get visas. My ears are aching from the damn Qarax as two of the were very close to my office.

Oooops ,, somebody move it to the Politics section

It is just happening ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, just close to my office. Will be back for more .... IA

.... wax waalan. Now i should copy and send this to dad aan ogahay ,, i'm sure the implementation would be in an eye blink ,,

ETHIOPIA CAPTURES THE MBAGATHI RECONCILIATION CONFERENCE 1991 saw the end of SIYAD BARRE's disastrous term of office as President of Somalia. No elected president has survived him to date (2008). Fourteen reconciliation conferences have since been attempted, all of which have failed for one reason or another. President Ismail Omar Geeleh of Djibouti tried again. He announced at the UN General Assembly in 1999 that he would convene a conference of reconciliation the following year. Some 5,000 delegates turned up: politicians, traditional leaders and businessmen. One of the objects of the conference was to select delegates to choose a parliament of 245 deputies and to compile a charter to be adopted eventually by the parliament. An interim president was selected, Mr. Abdiqasim Salad Hassan. The Ethiopian Government announced that the interim government had a large percentage of Islamist Al-Itihad including the new president, Mr. Abdiqasim Salad. ETHIOPIA TRIES TO CRIPPLE TNG The Ethiopians thereafter wished to cripple the Transitional National Government (TNG). It created a Somali Reconciliation and Reconstruction Council (SRRC) out of war- lords, giving them arms; Abdiqasim and Galaydh the Prime Minister did not get on with each other. A parliamentary vote of no confidence saw the end of Galaydh, and ARTA. Ethiopia concentrated on the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and Kenya both of which agreed to convene a conference of ‘Front Line States' – Ethiopia , Kenya and Djibouti . The TNG agreed to this, assuming Kenyans neutrality. This was not to be. The Front Lines Sates altered the previous terms of reference. They were no longer a reconciliation between the TNG and the war-lords but the establishment of a tripartite organization of the TNG and the Civil Society and war-lords. The organization could rig forthcoming election if so desired. Ethiopia dominated the organization, insisting on the names of the Civil Society delegates being removed. There was a new appointment by Kenya of Ambassador Kiplogat, chairing the conference which was moved to Mbagathi. Ethiopia Controlled Two-thirds of Participants According to Professor Ahmed I. Samatar and Mr. Abdi Ismail Samatar, representatives of the International Community and other observers confirmed that Ethiopia single-handedly controlled two-thirds of the list of conference participants.”(BILD HAAN, Vol.3, 2003). Ambassador Kiplagat was faced with two versions of the draft Charter: one by the Official Harmonization Committee and one by the war-lords. Inter alia, the war-lords demanded a Federal Government and also proposed themselves as the electors of a new parliament. The war-lords, with Ethiopian backing, demanded that their charter alone should be debated by the plenary session. The official delegation of the TNG did not agree, The Prime minister (Mr. Hassan Abshir) and the Speaker of the parliament sided with the war-lords. Ambassador Kiplagat rushed the war-lord's draft charter the plenary session where it was approved. Somalia 's new leader of the TFG (Transitional Federal Government), post Mbagathi, was Colonel Abdillahi Yusuf, and his TFG. They were now in the good books of Ethiopia , replacing Mr. Abdiqasim Salad. At the end of 2006, with United States support, Ethiopia moved into Somalia with an army of foot soldiers, motorised infantry, tanks, and military aircraft, to remove the Islamic courts which fled without too many casualties. THWARTING THE EMPEROR'S ‘GREATER ETHIOPIA With the return of the Islamic courts to Somalia in late 2008, supported by well-armed, belligerent, youthful Islamists of Al-Shabab, the Ethiopians may look again at their historical longing for access to the coasts of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean . Will they fight it out again, or return home, or stay put and watch developments as the better part of valour? To thwart the old ambition of Ethiopia 's last two Emperors, MENELIK II and HAILE SELASSIE, Somalis may wish to revert to their 50 year old birthright of a Greater Somalia. Not just the minor territorial integrity of Somaliland and Somalia which was never designed to accommodate only two of the five missing Somali territories. THE RESTORATION OF SOMALI PRIDE All the Somali speaking people (see accompanying map), whose national pride needs desperately to be restored in their relations between themselves and with the rest of Africa, may find much to be said by pursuing once again a ‘greater Somalia' with the caveat that political confederation, like the European Union; would be a better bet this time; whereby each state of the confederation would have its own flag, its own parliament, its own elected government, its own judiciary and territory, likewise its own seat in the UN General Assembly; as Somaliland continues to plan in part, albeit alone in the world. The competitive element, so strong between Somali communities - local pride being one of them – would be better supervised by an advisory confederation of Somali states, functioning without direct or indirect powers, but on the basis of consensus – the age-old Somali doctrine of government. – no-one man should be given power for he will abuse it, Somali elders have cautioned for generations. The credit crunch will curb male ambition while they get used to modest living within their rightful means. On standard salaries, if any, with elected representatives, rather than an unworkable federation and a greedy, intra-competitive central government on obscene salaries. A confederation would reduce, if not remove, tendencies towards internecine armed hostilities, bribery and corruption. John Drysdale

Some Somalilanders have proposed changing the name of the country from Somaliland to some other name that does not have the word Somali in it. Their reasoning is that since the word Somali appears in both Somaliland and Somalia it makes it difficult to distinguish between Somaliland and Somalia , and therefore hurts Somaliland 's efforts to get international recognition. There is something to this argument, though not enough to merit changing Somaliland 's name. Complicating Somaliland 's search for independence is not the only way in which our sharing of the name Somali with our brothers in the south have had a negative effect on Somalilanders. Through almost two decades of constant war, banditry, piracy and religious fanaticism, southerners have destroyed the international image of Somalis. Now Somalis regardless of whether they are from Somaliland , Djibouti , Ethiopia , Kenya or anywhere else are looked upon by the rest of the world as crazy and murderous people who have turned their country into a wasteland for no good reason. The word Somalization as a synonym for endless conflict and lawlessness has entered the political lexicon. And it does not look like things are going to get better any time soon either. Somaliland has to keep distinguishing itself from Somalia . Somaliland also must be vigilant and double its efforts to prevent the importation of the failed and deadly southern political culture into Somaliland . Somalilandtimes.net

NAIROBI, Kenya, October 27 (Compass Direct News) – Among at least 24 aid workers killed in Somalia this year was one who was beheaded last month specifically for converting from Islam to Christianity, among other charges, according to an eyewitness. Muslim extremists from the al Shabab group fighting the transitional government on Sept. 23 sliced the head off of Mansuur Mohammed, 25, a World Food Program (WFP) worker, before horrified onlookers of Manyafulka village, 10 kilometers (six miles) from Baidoa. The militants had intercepted Mohammed and a WFP driver, who managed to escape, earlier in the morning. Sources close to Mohammed’s family said he converted from Islam to Christianity in 2005. The eyewitness, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said the militants that afternoon gathered the villagers of Manyafulka, telling them that they would prepare a feast for them. The people gathered anticipating the slaughter of a sheep, goat or camel according to local custom. Five masked men emerged carrying guns, wielding Somali swords and dragging the handcuffed Mohammed. One pulled back Mohammed’s head, exposing his face as he scraped his sword against his short hair as if to sharpen it. Another recited the Quran as he proclaimed that Mohammed was a “murtid,” an Arabic term for one who converts from Islam to Christianity. The Muslim militant announced that Mohammed was an infidel and a spy for occupying Ethiopian soldiers. Mohammed remained calm with an expressionless face, never uttering a word, said the eyewitness. As the chanting of “Allah Akubar [God is greater]” rose to a crescendo, one of the militiamen twisted his head, allowing the other to slit his neck. When the head was finally severed from the torso, the killers cheered as they displayed it to the petrified crowd. The militants allowed one of their accomplices to take a video of the slaughter using a mobile phone. The video was later circulated secretly and sold in Somalia and in neighboring countries in what many see as a strategy to instill fear among those contemplating conversion from Islam to Christianity.... web page
