Somali Politics for Beginners

Recommended Posts

B   

I grew up in the qurbo ah and so know nothing about the internal dynamics of Somali Politics. Can you all plz explain to me the causes of all these issues. Especially all this extremist activities there nowadays with the AlShabab and all these splinter islamic groups. Who is fighting who and what are they fighting for.

 

Plz be neutral in your opinions. thnx.

^^ I didn't care or know anything about it till the 2006 war . Then I discovered this forum, and now I am a seasoned cyber political boxer. If you don't know jack, just act like an expert that is what most Somalis do anyway. :D But it's a waste of time, so I wouldn't really bother with it, if I was you; that is, unless you want to became the mayor of Burco. In that case, Kashafa would be a good tutor for beginners. :D

I thought NinBrown was alluding to Ahlu Sunna, TFG and the Warlords. Perhaps I was wrong?

central government/TFG = liverpool. they havent controlled/won any thing significant for 18 years, except couple conferences in djibouti, nairobi.

 

warlords = man u, winning evrything over the last couple years.

 

sland = arsenal, pretty football, evry1 likes the peace/prosperity, no silver wear=recognition.

 

pland = chelsea, still looking for that elusive champions league

 

i guess the new kid on the block is to be reckoned with.

He said he's a beginner. First we have to get him used to the waffle and fancy names and then we have to tell him how the clans fit in.

 

(I don't believe him of course).

Thierry.   

The TFG and President Sharif are Real Madrid and Mr Perez, it has the brand name, the history and bucket load of cash. In the same way Mr Perez brought back legendry players like Zidane to advice him, President Sharif is as we speak being advised by former War heroes

 

Al Shabaab is Man City hit hard by the recession
