Remember the terrorist attack in Djib City? The suspects were all from Hargeisa.

EnlightenedSoul: Artan, isn't so freakin' ironic how many of the AlShabab leaders are actually Landers?
I know, a lot of people have been saying that Alshabab is funded by S/land because they benefit the most from the chaos in the south.
I find it very interesting how Alshabab kills religious leaders, government officials and civilians across all Somali lands apart from S/Land. undecided
CelebritiesRe: Ghanaian Women 3rd Most Beautiful In Africa – Ranker by ArtanK(m): 5:16pm On Sep 08, 2014
borga112: Ghanaian women are the third most beautiful ladies in Africa, according to ranking site Ranker.

They were beaten to the top spot by Somalia and Djibouti in that order, suggesting Somalian ladies are the most beautiful on the Continent.
cool cool

GuyFawkes: Unfortunately oil will only bring more conflicts just as it has in other parts of Africa,the next bunch of ' freedom fighters' are going to be fighting for resource control,who knows maybe al shabbab will join the party then as there's lots of money to be made.
Hence conflict is inevitable because that piece of cake never goes round.
But I expect the chinese to get most of the contracts to build up the infrastructure in Somalia they've been pretty good with that in African countries.
Freedom fighters disguised under the banner of their clan lol they wouldn't care about Alshabab as long as their clan gets it all. If it was up to me I'd focus on agriculture and green energy instead. South Somalia alone could feed up to 150 million yet that is the region that is mostly affected by the ever increasing droughts and famines. The north of Somalia has huge potential for wind and solar energy, especially near the gulf of Aden.
As dark as things may look I'm actually optimistic about the future.

The Chinese are the last people I'd want to see in Somalia. They'd ship in everything and anything from China instead of buying from the locals. The Turks are building up the infrastructure as far as I know and in return they landed oil exploration contracts in the northern regions.

GuyFawkes: That's true though about the oil,but you'll have to ask the chinese about that,they have everything to gain as they are the ones on ground ready to do some oil exploration. smiley
American companies such as Chevron, Conoco Phillips and ExxonMobil are there too, apparently they cut deals with Siad Barre before the civil war. Everyone wants a piece of this cake undecided

Make up your mind
LOL

There are many variations of the colour Brown, its not like I've seen an old age Jew nor can I pinpoint their complexion. What I meant by that inconclusive response is that they could have been a few shades darker or lighter.

GuyFawkes: He was very important but do you think it'll diminish al shabbab?
It won't end them that's for sure but it will certainly weaken them.

I find it very odd that as soon as the big oil companies return to Somalia, everything seems to go the right way. Just a thought.
Foreign AffairsRe: Ahmed Abdi Godane: Somalia's 'dead' Al-shabab Leader by ArtanK(op): 3:29pm On Sep 07, 2014
GuyFawkes: Even ignoring the question whether the US - whose meddling in Somalia led to the replacement of the more moderate Islamic Courts movements by Al Shahab in the first place - has any right at all to kill people there, we should be clear that doing so is purely a symbolic act. In the US, it symbolizes the fake toughness of the imperial warrior, designed by the government to signify that it deals with the terror threat it simultaneously creates, exaggerates, and uses to instill fear and hence malleability in the domestic population. In Somalia and beyond, it symbolizes the arrogance of US power and control - and will thus encourage more people to support even the worst organizations if only they fight that power.
You're right, USA's involvement radicalised the UIC and it prompted the birth of Alshabab. Despite all the chaos the US has caused in that region, people would still prefer to see the death of Alshabab altogether than oppose the west for their two-faced approach.
The Somali population know that joining terrorist organisations is not the answer to their problems. It's just a matter of time before they elect a competent government that won't sell them out to the west to the west.

Idrismusty97: Do whatever you pleases with your country...Just remember your only friend is China. I hope they won't kill you like they did to Ghadaffi and all nationalists. The West want their dominance to be continually felt. You have to be as Influential/developed as China or Russia before doing something as callous as this!.....That is just way overboard!

TerryCarr: they are cushitics that got mixed with Jews. plus there are no pure Jews anyway Lebanese & Assyrians are closer to Jews.
They live in a narrow strip of land between Tigrigna and Amhara people in Ethiopia so of course they'll marry from the locals. Their ancestry goes back millennia thus making them among the purest of Jews. The original Jews were tanned/brown in complexion so they looked nothing like those European looking Assyrians.

[color=#FF0000]@ArtanK.[/color]

Well, first of all, try to put aside your animosity towards Starvin Marvin a k a Axum, he is entitled to his bragging opinion even if We don't agree with it, Anyway I don't fully agree with his child's opinion and insulting my bantu people, However, all I am saying is that there is no comparison between Somali women and pure south/east and west African women when it comes to beauty and you know it's true.

I am a Meru woman and I'ved accepted that the majority (not all) of Horn African women and Somali women are much more beautiful than us unmixed African women a long time ago, I love their curly hair.[/quote]First of all, I'm Somali too and Ajuran is an annoying whimp. Trolling is all he does on NL and the thing I don't understand is why you're backing his case... You're even calling non Somali Africans ugly.
Stop feeding the troll please.

PS: Somalis are not mixed either.

GuyFawkes: Well this is nice, but it's hardly going to save Somalia or put an end to fundamentalist terrorism, even locally. Some psycho will step into Godane's smoking shoes, and shabab will get right back to slaughtering and maiming innocents, raping children, and all the other horrors they think their god commands.

So what really needs to be done is step up the attacks against shabab and all such groups. When they stop to cook dinner, crater the campsite, whether top leaders are there or not. It'd be nice if mainstream Islam could take care of this problem itself, but clearly it's not up for it, and it's not having its vital rational reformation quite yet. So in the meantime, all that can be done is bury every fundamentalist terrorist we see.

For Somalia as a whole, it'll probably take a combined international effort to get control of it, and then fund Ethiopia or Kenya so they can absorb the country and try to nurse it back to health. Unfortunately that probably won't happen, as Somalia is roughly completely worthless.
In 2010, Alshabab controlled all of south and central Somalia including the 16 districts of the capital. Today they control less than 10% of the country and they are losing land every day. They've now turned to cowardly attacks and suicide bombings, so clearly we are getting something right here.

Mainstream Islam does address and condemn extremism on a daily basis but news like that don't make popular headlines as the ones where Muslims are the culprits of gruesome terrorist attacks.

We thank the AU soldiers for their help but tbf, they have decided to put down the gun, collect the hefty paychecks and enjoy the breezy beaches in Mogadishu as if they are on a holiday. I'd like to think that I speak for the SomalI people when I say that I can't wait till they leave in 2016.

What we need is unity and reconciliation. Entrusting them to improve the Somali nation when 90% of the Somali population harbour deep distrust and enmity towards these two countries is a stupid idea.
Somalia has the potential to become an African superpower, sadly it's neighbours see their downfall in that and they've been undermining it ever since it came to existence in 1960.

Fulaman198: Looking at Lahm's age makes me feel old. We are both 30 sad yet in real life I don't consider myself an old man.
30 is old in football age but not in real life. Footballers usually turn to education and business when they retire in their 30s.

Fulaman198: I don't think so, Germany's defence was rock solid with Boateng, Lahm, etc in the back.
You never know man Di Maria is a game changer. I'm happy now that Lahm has retired, he made many mistakes in that tournament, he knew his time was up and he retired on a high.

This kenyanlady knows Somalis, and she knows we are good looking compared to Bantus. grin


She also caught some of the people here using Somali, Ethio, Ertriean girls pictures and passing them off as Fulani. cheesy
