Question by geewiz: No one-sided apology for Crusades? It bothers me when I see President Bush and some Christian world leaders apologize to Muslims because of the past Christian Crusades against Islam. Few know that Muslims were the first to invade Europe. The Moors conducted slave raids off the coasts of southern Italy and Spain. An estimated 1.5 million white Christians were forcibly taken to North Africa by Moorish pirates. In Eastern Europe, the Tatar (Mongol) Muslims also conducted slave raids in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. Slavic white peasants were enslaved by Tatar/Mongol Muslim horsemen and taken to the slave markets of Istanbul where the Tatar/Mongols sold Slavic people to Turks. So many Slavic people were captured that even today, the term “slave” derived from Slavs. Forced race mixing occured as this result. The Moors went from black to white and the Tatars/Turks went from yellow to white. The goal of the raids was to abduct young white women and attack Christiandom. Where is the apology for that? Best answer: Answer by helper100 You are right in what you have stated. The Christian leaders are apologizing because they realize that Muslims were killed in the name of Christianity and from my understanding Christ never endorsed murder. Their apology was not to point whose fault it was or who started it but simply to apologize for what happened. Sad to say that the Muslims have never said that they are sorry for what they have done. From what I have seen and heard they deny they ever did anything wrong. But any one can prove me wrong or collaborate on this.

Wondering when it will come to Somaliland ,,,

BOB, You're still too emotional ...... let me clarify few things before to jump to the conclusion: - No one can proof this was done by the German guy. I've seen lots of clips circulating around and there is nothing showing him in the clip or even close. - The story goes beyond that and now people are saying there is this guy who used to work for him and when he fired then the guy started to do this for revenge. Every person i met including those "Sheikhs" and judges say all these came from that guy who used to work for the German. - The guy did not force anyone nor drugged them. Those said women "even if this is true" came to him willingly. As the widely circulated rumors say most of them are married. There is even one story saying there is a mother & her daughter involved. - It has nothing to do with Soomaalinimo but more of personal issue. Naag bahalkeeda ilaashan wayday oo nin cad la daba ordaysa cannot be blamed on Somalis in general and no one is accountable for it. - The same Shari'ah law that you want to apply to this guy also applies to all those women involved if the story is true. You cannot stone to death with someone coz of Zina while there is no partner involved unless you're the Alshabaab of Kismaayo. - Even if it is true, it has nothing to do with NGOs, Gaalo or foreigners living in Somaliland. There is one person who did this for the last 20 years or even more. - We should not take something posted on the websites as it is. Let's be real and use our brains as well.

Mudaharaadkan oo ka bilowday agagaarka Kaalinta 8aad ee Xaafada Calaamadaha ee Degmada Maxamuud Haybe, iyadoo ay dibad baxayaashii kala xidheen Waddada dheer ee tagta Madaarka caasimada Hargaysa. Dadkan mudahaaraadka dhigaayey ayaa u badnaa Dhallinyaro, waxaanay ku dhawaaqayeen hadalo iyo hal ku dhigyo ay ku muujinayaan sida ay uga xun yihiin Xadhiga ay Xukuumaddu kula kacday Boqor Raabi Yuusuf Cabdilaahi, waxaanay Xukuumadda Madaxweyne Siilaanyo u soo jeediyeen inay Xoriyadiisa u soo celiso Boqor Raabi oo ah Madax-dhaqmeedka magaalada Hargaysa. Ciidammada booliska ayaa iyaguna ka hortagay Mudaharaadkaa, iyadoo aan wax rabshado waa wayni dhex marin Ciidanka booliska iyo Dhalinyaradii Mudaharaadkaa dhigaayey, marka laga reebo Dhawr xabadood oo Ciidanku kor u rideen, kuwaasoo ay ku kala dareerinayeen Dibad baxayaasha, iyadoo ay dhinaca kalena debinta Mudaharaadkan ka qayb-qaadanayeen Madax-dhaqmeedyo ka soo jeeda deegaanka Koonfurta magaalada Hargaysa. Maaha markii ugu horeysay ee qaar ka mid ah Dadweynaha reer Hargaysa cabashadooda Mudaharaad ku muujiyaan, hase yeehsee dhawr jeer hore ayaa sidan oo kale Dadweyne dan-yar u badani ay Cabashadooda Mudaharaad salmi ah ku soo bandhigeen, kuwaasoo ay Xukuumadda Madaxweyne Siilaanyo-na ugu jawaabtay Garaacis iyo Xadhig, isla markaana ay u diyaar garayso Ciidammado ka hor taga Mudaharaadka ay shacbigu dareenkooda ku muujinayaan.

As long as it is the court and the legal process is followed then it should be Ok.

Several major, recent developments have brought the issue of Somaliland's recognition as an independent nation to the top of the agenda in the politics of the Horn of Africa region (HOA). The first is the successful referendum in southern Sudan the result of which is widely expected to show a massive majority in favour of independence. This referendum marks a watershed moment in modern African history, since it will be only the second time that the people of a territory in an African country achieved independent statehood through their freely expressed wishes evidenced by voting - the first time was the referendum that presaged Eritrea's emergence as an independent country in 1993. The second development is the increasing acceptance by the principal international sponsors/donors (both African and Western) that the TFG of Sheikh Sharif is incapable of bringing peace, governance and stability to Somalia, even as the expiry of its mandate in August 2011 approaches. These facts have forced a new, more mature perspective upon the major, foreign stakeholders as well as Somaliland and Somalia's neighbours regarding Somaliland's claim to formal, de jure recognition of its independence. This is evidenced by several important, new factors in Somaliland's relations with its neighbours, as well as foreign powers, which are outlined below: The willingness of Ethiopia to actively support Somaliland's campaign for recognition, as confirmed publicly to the new government in Hargeisa. Previously, Ethiopia, while supporting Somaliland and opening a Consulate in Hargeisa, had shied away from open, vocal support of Somaliland's campaign for international recognition to avoid being accused of seeking to break-up its historic enemy. The willingness of IGAD, grouping Somaliland's neighbours in the HOA, to work with Somaliland's Government officially, thereby accepting Somaliland as a de facto state. This was evidenced during a visit by senior IGAD officials (including the Secretary-General) to Hargeisa in December last year, as well as the SG's recent statement, in the wake of the southern Sudan referendum, that IGAD was willing to play a major role in holding a similar referendum in Somaliland at the appropriate time. The improvement in relations between Somaliland and Djibouti heralded by the visit of Somaliland's new President, Ahmed Mahmoud Silanyo, in November last year. Previously the Guelleh regime in Djibouti had pursued a dual track policy regarding Somaliland of maintaining ‘good neighbour' relations, while focusing its efforts upon nurturing and promoting the TFG. The advent of a new government in Hargeisa provided Djibouti with the opportunity to publicly acknowledge what it had been forced to accept in private - namely that the TFG was an abject failure and that the political tide regionally and internationally had shifted decisively in favour of engagement with Somaliland. Ever the canny politician, Ismail Omar Guelleh, jumped aboard the bandwagon and embraced President Silanyo with a state visit with all the trimmings. The new willingness of major Western powers to engage more closely with Somaliland as evidenced by Washington's announcement of its new ‘dual track' policy for Somalia whereby it will continue to support the TFG (albeit grudgingly), while also dealing directly with Somaliland, Puntland and other self-governing areas opposed to Al-Shabaab. This closer engagement with Somaliland was also evidenced in the UK's invitation to the Silanyo administration which resulted in an official visit (minus the trimmings) during which the Cameron government promised increased aid in various areas. Finally, the new approach of these governments is evidenced in the closer intelligence and security cooperation between them and the Somaliland authorities. The interest of China in securing access to the potential hydrocarbon deposits in Somaliland (which are reported to be significant and potentially large) by establishing relations with the Somaliland government, as evidenced by the invitation extended to President Silanyo to visit China with a high powered delegation including the Somaliland business community. Finally, in the Arab World, particularly the Gulf countries, there is also evidence of a new, more accommodative attitude towards Somaliland and its claim to recognition. In Saudi Arabia in November 2009 the government lifted the ban on livestock imports from Somaliland, despite intense lobbying from the TFG and its supporters among the Saudi business community. This has dramatically improved Somaliland's economy since the Kingdom is the destination for some 90% of Somaliland's livestock exports, which account for around 90% of the country's export revenues. In addition, the government of Kuwait has significantly increased its aid to Somaliland and members of the ruling family are building vacation residences in the country which points towards improving contacts and relations for the future.

'Prince of Mercenaries' who wreaked havoc in Iraq turns up in Somalia Erik Prince, the American founder of the private security firm Blackwater Worldwide, has cropped up at the centre of a controversial scheme to establish a new mercenary force to crack down on piracy and terrorism in the war-torn East African country of Somalia. The project, which emerged yesterday when an intelligence report was leaked to media in the United States, requires Mr Prince to help train a private army of 2,000 Somali troops that will be loyal to the country's United Nations-backed government. Several neighbouring states, including the United Arab Emirates, will pay the bills. Mr Prince is working in Somalia alongside Saracen International, a murky South African firm which is run by a former officer from the Civil Co-operation Bureau, an apartheid-era force notorious for killing opponents of the white minority government.
