Yes, Duke, we get it. You've already telegraphed why you and yours are advocating for the defeat of Sharif. It's noted and put in the record books. Now, please spare us the repetition. It's hard enough trying to find real news and interesting analysis within all the posts without having to scroll through 100 of your repetitive talking points . Your position is known by all. No need to repeat it every 5 seconds. Just makes you look like a childish bore... Brotherly advice ...

^^ Come on guys, u gotta admit it's precisely the policy of non-engagement with the South that's kept Somaliland above the fray thus far. You can definitely see it more clearly now. On the other hand, I wish Sharif, Xiin and co. all the best - because it's obvious they're dealing with something outside our norms (Somali norms).

UN envoy to Somalia says recent attack on capital "coup attempt" 13 May 2009 12:41 AM BBC Monitoring Africa English © 2009 The British Broadcasting Corporation. All Rights Reserved. No material may be reproduced except with the express permission of The British Broadcasting Corporation. Text of report by French state-funded public broadcaster Radio France Internationale on 13 May; subheadings inserted editorially [ Presenter ] Our guest is the UN secretary-general's envoy for Somalia, Mauritanian diplomat, Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah. He is speaking about the situation in Mogadishu following the attack by Islamists in the past few days against the government of national unity. Let us listen to Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah speaking to Cyril Bensimon from Addis Ababa. Recent attack on Mogadishu a coup attempt [ Bensimon ] Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, are you concerned with the days of the government of national unity in Somalia? [Ould-Abdallah] No. I am not really worried about this government since it has just repulsed an attack which I believe was a coup attempt. However, I am still concerned about the stability in Somalia after 20 years of civil war. We are not going to come back to this every time. Somalia's problems are not only religious. [ Bensimon ] Why can't any government be accepted up-to-date by any of the Somali parties? [Ould-Abdallah] Those causing the most problems are the south-central provinces. However, no government had been accepted because up until now we never had a government which combined legitimacy and legality. I sincerely believe that the government of [somali President] Shaykh Sharif Ahmad represents this. It is a legitimate one [government] because he himself comes from a renowned family of Shaykhs. He was at the helm from June to December 2006 and he has just come to power through an election by Members of Parliament which was broadcast live on television and which I had organized in Djibouti. [ Bensimon ] But obviously he is not accepted due to the opposition of his former comrade in arms in the Islamic Courts, Shaykh Hasan Dahir Aweys. According to you, is the opposition by the Islamists really motivated by religion or is it a fight for power disguised as a religious war? [Ould-Abdallah] Indeed, his former associate, Col Aweys, came from Asmara and he does not agree [with the government] but they are in touch. The others are Islamists who receive an important outside help. However, it is not only Islam behind all of this. We forget to mention the issues of the Somali tragedy such as economy, resources, criminality. There are [word indistinct] on foreign currencies, import and export, on immigrants and on coal. In fact, there are important financial and commercial aspects which have been neglected and not reported. Al-Shabab admission on foreign fighters propaganda [ Bensimon ] The Islamists of Al-Shabab have admitted receiving the help of foreign fighters. Who are they and where are they from, how many are they? [Ould-Abdallah] It is very difficult to give an answer to all those questions. However, I continue to say that there is likely religious dimension and the economic and financial aspects are important and this attracts a lot of people; foreigners from the region probably from the East African Community - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania. There are elements from Asia, especially from the Middle East, but, I believe most of them are Somalis who have US or European citizenships, particularly with British or Swedish citizenship. These are young people who have difficulty integrating in their new countries and who have been destabilized by [words indistinct] who made them come and take advantage of their patriotism or their naivete or fragility. [ Bensimon ] How do you analyse the Somali Islamists' admission about having in their ranks foreign fighters when they have always denied it? [Ould-Abdallah] I analyse this in two different ways. First, they can no longer hide it owing to the fact that the people are visible perhaps because of their physical appearance or because of the language they use. I believe they also use this as propaganda to attract more foreigners. Arab countries not behind destabilization attempt in Somalia [ Bensimon ] Are African or Arab countries behind the destabilization attempt of the government of national unity? [ Ould-Abdallah ] I believe Arab countries are not behind this. There are probably individuals who might be funding this or that movement. East Africa countries mainly (?Djibouti), Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, are backing the current government as well as Ethiopia and Sudan. [ Bensimon ] What is Eritrea role? [ Ould-Abdallah ] The opposition had their base in Eritrea for a long time. Those who fled the Mogadishu fighting two years ago returned from Asmara with a chartered flight which landed 50 km from Mogadishu. I don't know Eritrea's role, however, I hope that there will not be problems between two countries [word indistinct] especially when Somalia is still fragile and does not need more violence.

Muxuu Yahay Qorshaha Cusub ee Puntland ee Ku Aadan Burcad Badeeda? Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 5:25 pm Cumar Siciid Editorial Horseed Media Burcad Badeeda sanadihii lasoo dhaafay saameynta ku yeeshay Caalamka iyo dalka Soomaaliya waxaa horey looga qoray warbixino badan iyo barnaamijyo muujinaya habka ay u shaqeeyaan iyo cida ka danbeysa, hadaba waxaa markii ugu horeysay si cad wareysi arrintan uga bixiyey Mr.Abshir Boyax oo kamid ah hogaamiyaasha Burcad Badeeda, wareysigan ayaa dhexmaray Boyax iyo Suxufi ka socda Jariirada New York Times, wuxuuna ka dhacay Makhaayad caan ah oo kasoo horjeeda xarunta Madaxtooyada Garowe, Puntland. Abshir Boyax oo asagu hada si nabadoon ku jooga magaalada Garowe ayaa uga waramay suxufiyiinta Ajnabiga ah sida ay u hawlgalaan iyo waliba waxa ku kalifa inay noqdaan burcad badeeda. Abshir Boyax wuxuu qirtay inuu ka danbeeyey afduubka ugu yaraan 25 Markab oo laga qaatay madax furasho, wuxuuna wareysigan siiyay Suxufiga JEFFREY GETTLEMAN oo ka socda Jariirada New York times oo uu kula kulmay meel ku taal Farasmagaalaha Garowe, oo ka soo horjeeda Madaxtooyada Puntland. Abshir Boyax oo markii ugu horeysay muuqaalkiisa caalamka loo bandhigay asagoo fadhiya Farsmagaalaha Garowe (Sawirka New York Times) Su’aasha ayaduna is weydiinta mudan ayaa ah inta kabadan 70 ragga ah ee lagu hayo xabsiga Bosaaso ee qaarkood lagu xakumay xabsiyada dhaadheer iyo Abshir Boyax waxa ay ku kala duwan yihiin? Abshir Boyax oo ah nin qirtay inuu afduubay 25 markab Puntlandna si weyn looga yaqaan wareysiyadana ku bixinaya Madaxtooyada Garowe horteeda, muxuu arrinkaasi ka qabaa sharciga Puntland iyo kan Shariicada Islaamka ee maxkamaduhu wax ku xukumaan? JEFFREY GETTLEMAN oo ka warbixinayey sida ay u dhaqan yihiin burcad badeeda ayaa warbixintiisa ku sheegay in burcad badeeda aad ku dhex arkeyso magaalada Garowe ayagoo wata gawaari qurxoon iyo guryo cusub oo laga dhistay magaalada Garowe iyo Hotelo ay ku qaxweeyaan burcad badeeda. Suxufigan ayaa wax yaabihii ugu yaabka badnaa ee uu kusoo arkay Garowe ku sheegay inuu arkayey Abshir Boyax oo ah nin si weyn caan uga ah magaalada Garowe kana mid ah hogaamiyayaasha burcad badeeda oo la kaftamaya mid kamid ah saraakiisha sar sare ee Booliiska Puntland, asagoo calaamatu su’aal saaray sida ay Dawlada Puntland uga go’an tahay ka hortaga burcad badeeda. Wuxuuna ku kaftamay sida uu sheegay suxufigan inay qaraabo yihiin Boyax iyo Sarkaalka Booliiska ah. Dhinaca kale wuxuu suxufigan soo qaatay kulan ka dhacay Garowe oo dhexmaray Odayaasha, Dawlada iyo Burcad badeeda, asagoo sheegay in mid kamid ah Burcad badeeda oo lagu magacaabo Abdirizak Elmi Abdullahi u sheegay in ay gor gortan ku jiraan! Abshir Boyax ayaa asagu sheegay inay doonayaan in shaqo lasiiyo oo laga dhigo Ciidamo bada illaaliya, wuxuuna ku nuux nuuxsaday in diyaar u yihiin inay joojiyaan burcad badeednimada hadii wax kale loo balan qaado. Dawlada Puntland oo horey ayadu u sheegtay inay burburineyso burcad badeeda kana hortageyso ayaa u muuqata mid hada gor gortan fool ka fool ah kula jirta Burcad badeeda. Madaxweyne Cabdiraxmaan Faroole ayaa asagu khudbado ka akhriyey Masaajidka Salaada Jimcaha asagoo ka codsaday shacabka inay kasoo horjeestaan burcad badeeda, ayuu yiri suxufigan ka socda New York Times. Wuxuu sidoo kale Madaxweynaha Puntland horey u dhisay guddiga la dagaalanka Burcad badeeda oo ah kii ugu horeeyey oo Puntland laga dhiso. Madaxweyne Farole oo wareysi siiyey suxufigan ayaa asagu sheegay in burcad badeeda ay dhaqan rogeen bulshada, asagoo sheegay inay keeneen ficilo ka baxsan Dhaqanka Soomaaliyeed iyo Diinta Islaamka. Sidoo kale odayaasha iyo Culumaa’udiinka ayaa ku eedeeyey burcad badeeda inay fidiyaan falalka anshax xumada ah, khamriga iyo cudurada faafa sida AIDS-ka. Hase yeeshee waxaa muuqan ayuu yiri suxufigan tilaabo kale oo wax looga qaban karo burcad badeeda. Walow ay jiraan culumaa’udiinka iyo odayaasha inay ka digeen in lasoo dhaweeyo burcada. Yusuf Hassan oo ah Tafaftiraha ah Garowe online ayaa u sheegay suxufigan in Boyax uu kamid yahay raga ugu horeeyey oo bilaabay burcad badeednimada ayadoo dhalinyarada hada ku biirtay burcad badeednimada ay isku dayaan inay wadadiisii raacaan. Wuxuuna sheegay inuu Boyax iyo raga lamid ah yihiin dad si weyn looga tixgeliyo magaalada Garowe. “He’s respected as a pioneer,” said Yusuf Hassan, the managing editor of Garoowe Online, a Somali news Web site.(New York Times) Garowe online maaha markii ugu horeysay oo ay saxaafada Caalamka usoo bandhigto burcad badeeda sanadkii lasoo dhaafay ayey sidan oo kale wareysi looga qaaday Abshir Boyax, magaalada Eyl u gudbisay saxaafada caalamka gaar ahaan telefishonka CNN. (Ka daawo Videoga dhanka bidix) Garowe online ayaa ah warbaahin uu si gaar ah u leeyahay wiilka uu Madaxweynaha Puntland dhalay, ee Maxamed Cabdiraxmaan Faroole. Maaha markii ugu horeysay Suxufi ajnabi ah iyo Boyah ay wada kulmaan bilihii lasoo dhaafay ayaa sidan oo kale waxaa kulan siiyey Boyax iyo suxufi ajnabi ah Maxamed Cabdiraxmaan Faroole oo asagu ah wiilka uu dhalay Madaxweynaha Puntland , suxufigaasi ka socday Times Online ayaa qoraalkiisa ku sheegay in Wiilka Madaxweynaha isku xiray asaga iyo burcad badeeda , Inkasta oo Saxaafadda Caalamku ay ku bixineyso dedaal dheeraad ah iyo dhaqaale sidii xog looga heli lahaa burcadda loona gadi lahaa warkooda ayaa waxaa muuqda in Puntland uu ka furmey suuq kale oo ah sidii loo kulan siin lahaa burcadda iyo saxaafadda halkii wax laga qaban lahaa burcadda , qayb yar oo kamid ah qoraalka Times Online ayaa ahaa sidan: Our meeting takes place at a virtually deserted farm 15km outside Garowe. Mohamed is the son of the newly elected president of Puntland and does not want to be seen in public cavorting with pirates. Moreover, Boyah has recently contracted tuberculosis and Mohamed insists that we meet him in an open space.

Jay Bahadur is working on a book The Pirates of Puntland, with news agency Garowe Online (garoweonline.com). E-mail: piratesofpuntland@gm ail.com Qofna dhegxumo iyo sumcad daro meeshii u danbeysey ayuu aduunka ula mariwaayey marka uu maqlo magaca Puntland pirates wadnaha ayaa xanuuna dadka qarkiis, halka dadkii ka agdhawaa maamulka sida Wiilka uu dhalay Madaxweynuhu ay ganacsi iyo buugaag samayn ay kaga jiraan Farah Dhalac oo asagu ah Wasiirka Qorsheynta iyo Xiriirka Caalamiga ah ee Puntland ayaa u sheegay Jariirada New York Times, in burcad badeeda ay dhanka kale usoo jiideen indhaha beesha caalamka oo ay taasi tahay wax yaabaha wanaagsan oo laga dhaxlay burcad badeeda. Asagoo sheegay in dhibaatada burcad badeeda ay keentay in caalamka uu deeq dheeraad ah siiyo Soomaaliya. Puntland officials acknowledge, grudgingly, that the pirates have helped them in a way: bringing desperately needed attention and aid. “Sad but true,” said Farah Dala, Puntland’s minister of planning and international cooperation. “After all the suffering and war, the world is finally paying attention to our pain because they’re getting a tiny taste of it.” (New York Times) Nimco Ismaaciil oo ah gabar ka shaqeysata magaalada Garowe oo nolol maalmeedkeeda kala soo baxda diyaarinta Aroosyada, ayaa sheegtay in muddooyinkii danbe ay aad usii badanyeen aroosyada ka dhaca magaalada Garowe oo ay sameystaan raga dhaqaalaha ka hela burcad badeednimada. Nimco ayaa sheegtay inay jiraan dad kasoo horjeeda burcad badeednimada, balse inta badan dhalinyarada ku sugan Garowe (Caasimada Puntland) ay jecel yihiin inay noqdaan burcad badeed ama ayba hada ku jiraan burcad badeeda. Hadaba waxaa is weydiin muddan warbixinadan kasoo baxaya magaalada Garowe ee ah caasimada Puntland sida ay dhaawac ugu noqon karto sumcada Dawlada Puntland ku leedahay dunnida. Dawlada Puntland ayaa dhawaan caalamka ka codsatay lacag dhan 20 million oo dollar, lacagtaasi oo la sheegay in lagula dagaalami doono burcad badeeda. Warbixintaasi ayaa waxaa lagu qeexay in burcad badeeda ay ku sugan yihiin meelo fog fog oo buuraley ah oo dhib badan isla markaana loo baahan yahay dhaqaale lagu bixiyo qalabkii iyo ciidankii soo qaban lahaa. Waxaase su’aal ah fikir qaabkee ah ayuu caalamka ka qaadan karaa Abshir Boyax oo ah hogaamiyaha burcad badeeda Eyl oo wareysi ku bixinaya makhaayadaha qurxoon ee ugu caansan ee Garowe oo dhawrka tilaabo u jirta Madaxtooyada Puntland? Madaxweynaha Puntland ayaa asagu horey u sheegay in safarkiisii Nairobi ay beesha caalamka ku tiri maamulka Puntland iyo burcad badeeda xiriir baa ka dhaxeeya, taasina ay beeniyeen. Warbixintan New York Times & Times Online ayaa kamid xogta dhaawaca ku noqon karta Dawlada iyo gaar ahaan Madaxweynaha Puntland oo uu wiilkiisa uu xiriirinayo burcad badeeda iyo Suxufiyiinta ayagu kumanaanka kun ee dollar ku bixinaya sidii ay u heli lahaayeen xog la xariirta Burcad badeeda gaar ahaan kuwooda kusugan Puntland. Marka laga yimaado dhibaatooyinka Dawlada Puntland kala kulmi karto ka gadida qorshaheeda ee dalalka deeqda bixiya, waxaa hadana muuqda in ficilka ka imaanaya Garowe yahay mid ka duwan kan caalamka loo gudbiyo taasi oo noqon karta waji gabax siyaasadeed oo ay Puntland Dawladeeda in muddo ah kasoo kaban. Shacabka Puntland ayaa isku raacsan in loo baahan yahay in laga dhabeeyo takoorida kooxaha burcad badeeda ah ee deegaanada kasoo jeeda, arrintaasi oo ay culumaa’udiinka in badan ku baaqeen shacabka in badan oo kamid ahna ay ka dhabeeyeen. Waxaase la is weydiin doonaa xiliga ay Dawlada Puntland ka dhabeyn doonto sidii gacan bir ah ugu qaban lahayd hogaamiyaasha iyo burcad badeeda dhex mushaaxa magaalooyinka waaweyn ee Puntland intaan loo gudbin tuulooyinka fog fog ee xeebaha ku teedsan. Dawlada Puntland ayaa markii ugu horeysay kulan la yeelatay koox Burcad Badeeed ah kulankan ayaa dhacay ka hor Mudaaharaad looga soo horjeedo Burcadda oo Dawladda Puntland soo qaban qaabisay 07.05.2009 kulankan ayaa ahaa mid fool ka fool ahaa, waxaana ka soo qaybgalay rag badan oo Burcad Badeed ah, kulankaasi oo ka dhacay xarun waxbarasho oo ku taala magaalada Garowe, ayadoo aan weli wax faah faahin ah laga soo saarin natiijadii kasoo baxday kulamadaasi. Kulamadan ayaa noqon kara kuwo miro dhala waa hadii ay burcad badeeda yihiin dad balantooda kasoo baxa oo joojiya falalkooda, hase yeeshee waxaan weli hakad gelin afduubka ka socda xeebaha Soomaaliya. Waxayna kulamada lala yeelanayo burcad badeeda markale dhibaato usoo jiidi kartaa Dawlada Puntland maadaama ay fursad u siiyeen burcad badeeda in sidii koox siyaasadeed loola xaajoodo, ayadoo aysana jirin weli natiijo la taaban karo oo kulamadaasi kasoo baxa.

Gentlemen, you just don't get it. It doesn't matter whether there's the most vicious dictatorship in Hargeisa or the government loots every old lady's purse - the outside world only writes glowing reports about Somaliland for what it has achieved in a decrepit neighborhood (and on its own). Meanwhile, your neck of the woods becomes more famous every month for growing Mafia activities. If you guys had an inch of fertile land (which you don't), you would probably grow opium and coca Now, I'm currently outside both places so I can only refer from what I read in the 'international press' Don't blame me, boys, blame the world for writing those nasty things about you

^^ You'll both have something new in common (the way things are going right now) - DEFEAT

Ladies and gentlemen, that's ^^^ the best the proud sons of Puntland can put up in terms of a defense We went from 'we have nothing to do with the piracy' to 'only we can control the pirates if given foreign funds' to 'WE ARE PROUD OF OUR SONS' SUCCESS IN PROFIT-MAKING'. I would say we're making progress in "Mintid Farayar's Twelve-Step Program for Criminal Rehabilitation"

So the situation is where it is right now. Any predictions or solutions? Especially coming from the Sharif supporters - do you think he can pull it off and mount an effective come-back? Remember perception and support among Somalis is more paramount than any international support.

Stay tuned for Mintid's latest expose about a certain authority in a certain area. As usual, the sources will be impeccable In the meantime, fellas, let's give it a rest for a bit, due to the situation in Mogadishu. So you have a few days of rest

I love the way the Abdullahi Yusuf 'Amen' corner attempts to influence the opinions of the audience. The latest technique is to label me as someone who's called for the bombings of towns in Puntland. Present the evidence, fellas. Find one thread where I've called for the bombing of any Somali town, from Djibouti to Mandheera. Now, if the continuous exposes that I reveal about certain administrations and regions is getting to you, well then, SAY SO I'm just trying to enlighten some of our less informed SOL members about certain facts they might not be aware (using open-source, credible news sites). Given the tremendous amounts of propaganda you fellas spew out every day, there's a need for some clarity among the smoke. So far, as seen in this thread, many of you take pride in the piracy and its connection with the administration. Admission of guilt is a first step in "Mintid Farayar's Twelve-Step Program for Criminal Rehabilitation" I'm very proud of the progress we're making thus far

I just ran across this thread. Very humorous I must be doing a good job if I've gotten the whole Abdullahi Yusuf 'Amen' corner to admit to collusion with the pirates. 'Waabey ku faanayaan!!!' Simply priceless... Keep it up, boys. Just don't change tunes when it's that time to pay the consequences In the meantime, I will try to control my jealousy

If true, this news would be a game changer . I doubt it, though. All day & evening there have been reports of unidentified planes flying over Mogadishu. Aweys and Co. are keenly aware of how Cayrow was dispatched to the afterlife and would, probably, take securiy precautions once aircraft have been sighted anywhere in the region. On the other hand, he was careless enough to give a VOA Interview earlier... I don't think they will be that easy to take out but it will all become apparent in the next 24 hours.

^^^ Maanta adaa ii tol ah

^^ Che, if I posted that same article I would be called all sorts of 'unmentionable' slurs by the Abdullahi Yusuf 'Amen' corner

^^^ LOL @ all 3 previous posts. It seems I have gotten under some people's skin

Originally posted by somalipride: Mintid Farayar, History will judge Cade Muse's admin. That chapter in Puntland is closed and a new one has opened. It's ironic that the same people on this site that criticized the previous admin for every move it made, remains silent when the President Son is taking reporters to interview Pirates. A son who hasn't been in the country for years somehow has all these connections. They should be fighting and arresting the pirates. Where is the outrage now? This is far worse for the state. It's only a little over 4 months in. We heard for so long that so many of the problems the new admin has were inherited and now the truth is slowly coming out. When the international community becomes fed up and decided to act we know who to blame! Tell them, Xaaji

Duke and Faroole's family (i.e. GaroweOnline) are on the same page finally Another attempt to get the funds that were refused in Nairobi. Let's see where it goes... (in other words, transfer the funding to Garowe since Xamar is a wash-out!)

When it comes to SURVIVAL the organism will do anything and everything

Somalipride, I agree with you. Adde Musse was more decent than Puntland's previous leaders and present ones. Unfortunately, too many within Reerka were trying to undermine him at all times. Garoweonline was created for that express purpose....

^^ Adkeyso, saaxiib, adkeyso. Name-calling will not get you out of today's situation

Oops. Caught in another non-truth
