Long time no see. How have you been? Still Shiekh Sharif's number one fan?

[James Dahl]

Hey Voltage
I've been OK, work's been really busy so I haven't been online as often.
I don't think I'm his #1 fan as I don't consider the man infallible, but the guy is doing a good job in a difficult situation, and he's working to improve things in Somalia, and for that he's got my respect.

JD deserves a lot of respect, the guy goes to a lot of effort to do an indepth study of Somali culture and history. Hope he learns the language one day. Kudos to you JD Keep up the good work

A new tactic of the Western elements that are against an Islamic resurgency is to:

- Villify "extremist" elements.
- Try to create rifts and splits between "traditionalists" and "extremists"

....and much more. But the idea is to create internal strife and split "Islamist" elements.


If you don't believe me, read this RAND report:

This is clearly the reason Abdullahi Yusuf got pushed out in favor of a President that can more effectively create a wedge between Islamic org. solidarity in Somalia.

MY good friend Gedo,if I were an islamist like you, I would @ this conjecture join the political process in Somalia..work for the peace,and influence the rest of my brothers in order to gain their support.
What do you guys instead do?
Pledge loyalty to a bunch of traitors.
Bin Laden cannot go back to Yemen
Al Zawahiri '' '' '' to Egypt
Al Libi'' '' '' to Lybia
Godane,Zeylaci " ""to Somaliland

Wax intaa dhaama miyaad garan wayday.
Anigu Hargeysa , Gabiley,Arabsiyo..wad igu iman karta..waan ku soo dhoweynaya..dagaal na ku galin maayo.

What has he improved so far?

There is still War in Mogadishu and most of the country other than parts of Mogadishu isn't in his hands?

His Government is broke, cause no one in the international community respect him, nor believe he can reunite Somalia.

He went flying around African Countries begging for more of the African Union troops A/Y brought.

G_boy is right and the lady who authored that bloody document is none other than wife Zalmay Khalilazad

I will believe y'allz shyt the day I see 1ogaden who disagrees with the rest of them al shabaabs.
Ta ugu daran waxa weeye,in khaayinimadiinu dadka kale u muqato u' ma haysataan.
Haddey cagdheertu daacad wax ka taqaan,beri hore ayay waddan yeelan lahayd.
Gedo boy halkan bu ku sheegay dhowr jeer in dookhisu yahay,la dagaalanka xabashida ilaa ay Ogadenia xorrowdo.
Wakhti loo ma hayo arrinta.
Haddey cagdheertu nabad ku noolanayso Somalia ,cidii ka ma xigto.
Haddey se wareer ummada iney ka dhex kiciso damacdo,ina la iska qabto oo wixii la socda na {2 isaaq ah iyo dhowr gudhuda kale ah}la laayo, waa ii daw aniga

Waa UPSIDE down dadkan
Yacni minority-gii baa rabta iney qasab ku qabsato meesha.

I have read the trash report, nothing new about their tactics. It is always been divide and conquer and yet we fall for it.

[Ina Baxar]

Again it is NOT fair to say that!
I've just read a couple of lines quickly..and I think I see where it is going.
1/They're just stating FACTS!!
if their intention was to divide us in order to RULE us, wouldn't this be SECRET?
Like everything else my dear bros and sis, it is a matter of interpreting what you read
