peace in hamar depends on

[James Dahl]

How can you be a Somalian and not understand such fundamental aspects of armed resistance?
Hiding amongst the populace is perfectly valid and legal, you're only not allowed (under international law) to use civilians as human shields IN COMBAT.

What would you have them do? Put a big "I'm a member of the insurgency" banner on their roof at night?

[Gamadid.]

Musika, I turned the topic into food because that is what you should stick to, cooking the good food for your customers and work hard as usual. Somali politics isn't for someone like you saxib.

Oh shut up Gamadid, u are full of yourself.

[Gamadid.]

Aw! Is that my lady with the baby kicking in her belly dancing to my presence? I note your happiness to see me log on sweety, how are ya Basra? I plan to drop by, so that sweet tea should be available asap.

You know I am not full of myself, but if you were to pick a word to describe me out of the words which relate to superiority, like Arrogant, braggart, complacent, contemptuous, disdainful, egotistical, haughty, insolent, narcissistic, ostentatious, presumptuous and last but not the least supercilious, which one do I fit?

I bet you see yourself in the list somewhere, confess please for being contrite

[Basra-]

Gamalol

I would pick complacent and contemptuous to describe you best. The first one is normal, it just shows u are full of your self as i said. But the second one makes me concerned. It shows u habor deep, unresolved issues and bitterness. I dont want to get into the griddy details of it, so pardon moi.


As to the myself--i do NOT see any of those atrocious adjectives in myself.

[Gamadid.]

Professor Lora, How does scorn and lack of respect square with harboring bitterness and be racked with unresolved issues?

Come on, acting informed of something you are clueless is not cool. Ask, and you shall be enlightened dear.

if you hide behind your mom, they will kill you both. if you say mom, go and get out of here, they will kill you alone. you choose, you wanna kill others and fight from you mom's window while she is in bed. stupid idea. don't cry for civilian deaths.

You're giving the Ethiopian military way too much credit here. They're not being that selective, they're basically attacking entire neighborhoods where there have been insurgent attacks with helicopter gunships.

If all the Somalis left Mogadischu there would be peace. Otherwise, it doesn't look good.

[musika man]

let israel move to somalia and abandon palestine.

Actually it is neither legal nor valid. Legal combatants are required to wear uniforms or some other identification that identifies them as combatants. Furthermore, living in the same quarters as civilians is using civilians as human shields. The intent of such a tactic is to cause civilian casualties for propaganda purposes. Again, this is a clear violation of the laws of land warfare. Insurgent movements are not legal.

who are the insurgents? ayr shabaabs?

[Steeler [Crawler2]]

Glad we established that insurgency is not valid.

[Padishah]

Wars of agression are also illegal, and the ultimate war crime to boot!

[Steeler [Crawler2]]

True. But does one justify the other?

If my neighbor rapes my wife, does that make it OK for me to rape his?
