^ Buckhead ATL?

Who were fighting for the warlords? Where were they getting majority of their funding? Unless a society wants to change itself no one will. The people in Somalia only brag and cry but dont take steps to solve their problems. Arrogance is what it is. You are blinded by the so called Al Shabab but am not cause i see it from a different angle and have no agenda here. All of the warring factions are the same to me. You blame them, they blame you. When will the cycle end. one must give in or else yall are doomed for eternity.

People were fighting for the warlords. Majority of the warlords funding or atleast a good part of it was comin out of the CIA. U can even go see it, says 150,000 was being funelled to warlords in Xamar. Other money was being made by exploiting poor people through isbaaros and what not.

What angle are u seeing it from other than blaming the entire shacab

The CIA funding did not start until these so called ICU started coming up. Was there a CIA in 1991 all the way to 2006. Dude quit blaming others for ur own peoples mistakes. No one is to Blame but than you guyz who have no idea or vision but wanna live in an anarchy. You have guyz the same religion, check, same language check, same culture and traditions check look the same check. Than why the hell have u been feeding on each other for almost a decade now. Ill give the answer. Its easy, arrogance and no vision and direction.

Yo shilling. Or sheelowayne, I was in Mogdish 2006 and I am still here. The difference is very clear, back then it was save and getting a phace lift from the long war. Now it is beyond describtion. So we are here on the ground and unlike you dont get our facts from the Chicago TRP. Let me put it very simple way for you.
You dont know what You are talking about, thus STF UP, BALAAYO MADOOBI HA KUGU DHACDEE.

[Shilling]

This Shilling guy is obsessed with Sheikhs!
Do the ICU control Mogadishu now?
they left the city 1yr ago, back then it was clean, remodeling, trash was being collected, there were no bullets, no road blocks and pirates!
Today, Abdullahi yusuf, his ethiopia soldiers and mohamed dheere are there --its worse then ever, everything good is gone, everything bad is back. even the money isn't working and TFG can't even print a new money or force the old one --ppl are starving!

so are you blinded by tribalism or hate for Islam?

IRONm@N,

You do know the ICU came out of the blue after the peace talks in Kenya were finalized. Aways and Indha-Adde weren't born yesterday sxb, and what they should've done was to take their concern to the peace conference where the whole of Somalia was represented. But no they came back to Mogadishu only to create the ICU whose whole purpose was to prevent the TFG from taking hold in its own capital. Even then the TFG wasn't threatening them as our Al-shabab extremists are doing right now, but rather it took its seat in Baydhabo which they later invaded.

Your right the TFG is in control of Mogadishu and its fair to say that they haven't really seen a stable Mogadishu ever since they ousted the ICU, why is that? Well, lets start with the insurgents that have yet to perfect the roadside bomb timers that continue to miss the passing government patrol. Thanks to them there are so many ways to die in Mogadishu nowadays as an old lady recently did who walked into the path of a roadside bomb planted by Islamic rebels. She was decapitated by the way.

So tell me how could the government think about cleaning, remodeling, and collecting trash when these crazed sheikh's you seem to sympathize with have easily made our capital Africa's most violent city?

Few outside aid workers or journalists travel these days to Mogadishu, they are wise to stay away since the place is awash with threats, intimidation and political assassinations. Women are being shot by Islamic extremists for selling milk to Ethiopian troops since they are against the idea of anyone helping the TFG in its struggle to bring back our failed state. As one aid workers said "this is no longer human," a Somali who works for a Western medical organization is saying this sxb, who now sleeps at a different house each night after receiving anonymous phone threats, probably from insurgents.

Your crazed sheikhs want nothing but war and their recent walkout of the Somali peace talks being held Djibouti proves all the more so. If its war they want then they are truly deaf to Somalia's plight.

I have that gabasar.. 8) 8)

lol@ LK

That's the only connection you and that poor woman have and in case your wondering about her crime, well that arse of a "sheikh" (probably the only think that gives him the title "sheikh" is the thing he is wearing on his head) is thrashing her for selling khat so she could feed her children, the same khat by the way, his boss Aways was selling behind close doors. So much for justice!

Ur right we as the citizens loved the isbaaro's, we loved the anarchy. Ur logic is on point.

[QansaGabeyle]

Shirib, Shaatiguduud brought Ethiopian soldiers to Bay to evict the Hawiye warlords who were occupying it. What did you think of that.

[1nemansquad]

Muqdisho was safe in 2006

With such crazed Sheikh's (ex-thugs):



Sure it was shirib.

By the way, having witness who walked out of the Somali peace talks in Djibouti it should be clear to you by now who is against peace talks.

That is just wrong, the picture I mean. Daymn, abootadiis wasahaas afka suukasiiyo bal fiiri.

I'm not Rahanweyn and I never really liked Shaatigaduud or the RRA

[FAH1223]

The ICU in 2006 brought life to that city. Anyone who denies that is a doqon.

My cousin was actually able to go and bring photos of our houses. Walk the streets safely, no worries, and everything was busy.

[Shilling]

FAH,

Of course they did and the fact of the matter is they did the TFG a favor by ousting the warlords who refused to recognize it from the get-go. For 6 long months the ICU had the city to themselves and they did a commendable job there and their hard work didn't go unnoticed by the TFG. And to my surprise the courts went beyond that when they took large steps towards the right direction by first expelling the warlord out of Kismaayo and then annexing Shabelle into their main control. Had they stayed put and not go beyond those mention areas they would have defined greatness, but rather then walking the walk by entirely decommissioning the remnants of Jubba Valley Alliances and Shabelle Conspirators they had to invade other peaceful areas whose people were already wondering their legitimacy since it was by the gun they came to power.

Long story short, the Courts were ignorant enough to think that they could manage the country by themselves. When your harboring known thug's and still debating as to whether or not you should disarm thugs like Yusuf Indhacadde, nobody will and I mean nobody is going to easily jump on to their bandwagon.

Btw...If I remember correctly when it was certain that Mogadishu would be taken over by the TFG and its allies, the ICU out of concern for the safety of the people said they weren't going to fight in the capital and now it seems they have made 360 degree turn taking shelter among the very people they give their word. So your right the city is dead and they are the ones doing all sort of hit and run in the capital and because of this no one is safe, of all people even women are being shot by Islamic extremists for selling milk to Ethiopian troops since they are against the idea of anyone helping the TFG in its struggle to bring back our failed state.
