oh yeah, one more thing when I say Daroods, I mean all of the Darood Sub-clans, Except for Dhulbaxanti, and Warsengali. ViVa Somaliland.

you believe that ... ( 8 months ago by SJKSMART)

you believe that all somali clans need to be joined together which are ruled by elders.. Let me say this is uncivilized thinking fashion, The so-called clan leaders/elders took an important role in the destruction and collapse of somalia, they want to perpetuate anarchy and chaos just to run the affairs of their clans that gives them power and money.There for i belive that, If somalia is to be put back on the track these guys shouldn't be let to do what they are doing.

DAAROOD is very ... ( 8 months ago by SJKSMART)

DAAROOD is very large clan, so, which part of daarood do you belong to,second,would you like to enslave another human being if you had the chance to do so,I belong to Darood, But, i don't want to agree with u as long as ur mentality works like an idiot,just stop being so rude,qabilist,and racist man, we are somalis,try to promote unity among somalis instead of igniting hatred and qabilism.

hawiye...dameerihiinii ku noqda. they pooped in the street, dug out cable wires, took off roofs and windows...God how did these savages come about. futumadoobe...look at the other people's land both daarood and isaaq and look at the chaos and killing in ur own..u shud be ashamed. I guess the last few remaining futumadoobayaal are getting killed one by one now in xamar. The sad thing, M. dheere and Qeeybdiid and others are doing it for us.

nothing else to say ... ( 7 months ago by waliyoow33)

nothing else to say to you, but you're ignorant. How can you label a whole group of society as being uneducated? Just because you were told about the 3 branches of U.S. government, does not mean you completed your knowledege. P.S. get your spelling right you retard.

oh, I didn't know ... ( 7 months ago by TOGDHEERboy)

oh, I didn't know this was a spelling contest mr. Waliyoow3 Hawiya boy. Actually I well educated, I speak fluent english, will have a college degree this May, and what about you? I see you are still driving that yellow cap... ummm tell me one Hawiya person that did something extraordinary during the last 40 years and I will change my views on this topic.

plus the ppl of Puntland are civilized ppl that is why there is peace in Puntland, and finally the Dhulbahante and Warsangeli will never follow u except very few of them, but the vast majority oppose Somaliland.

Mr Liibaan08, we have kick you out of Mogadhisho 17years ago, so suckle up and move on in life! Speaking about Hawiye contributing to somalia or even doin something extraordinary! have you not heard of the likes of Abdullahi Ciise( have you ever heard of him? if not! go fucking learn you history!!), Mohamed Farah Caydiid( who kick the American butts out of Somalia) that is just few the list could go on forever.

I can't come to ... ( 6 months ago by Darknessgh)

I can't come to terms with the fact that your celebrating the fact that Somalia is occupied by Somalia's worse enemy in actually fact by Kaafirs!!! Your so bigoted that you fail to realise that the people that are getting killed in Xamar by the kaafirs dont just Belong to Hawiye tribe but are of all tribes.

Also the fact that ... ( 6 months ago by Darknessgh)

Also the fact that Mogadisho was stable before America funded Ethiopia to go in to destabilised and dont think for a second that Ethiopia is there no help the nacas Cabdullahi Yusuf! They are there with their own agenda.My advice to you is to come out of this ignorance bubble that you're in and smell the fucking coffee

darkness, it is sad that your only page in history is through aideed, ali mahdi, rape, destruction, mooryaanimo, keeping donkeys in villas, pooping on the streets, digging out cable wires..get a life. Y is it always a hawiye city that the fight is at? At least daarood are always fighting on hawiye cities.their lands are peaceful and streets are cleanw with no poop..because u r a fuckin hawiye futomadoobe. As long as there is abgaal, we have someone to fool, give milk to and kill for us.

believe me, your ... ( 6 months ago by liibaan08)

believe me, your enemy now is abgaal, murursade, Sacad and xawaadle. They r killing and looting bakaaraha everyday. They didn't get a good share of the bililiqo. Ceyr is the only one fighting now. Ha hadli idagoo hawiye ah please, iska cali the ones that r killing u everyday and reporting to daaroods at night;;;M. Dheere, Qaybdiid, Dabageed, Jeelle, Gheedi, Nur Cade, Xaayow and jalaqow and kusow and dhusow and the real abgaall nigazz. Deal with them first. Not me.

As merely the guy ... ( 6 months ago by biceps20)

As merely the guy who interviewed Mr. Mohamud, and made this video, I am an American, and do not understand a lot of the words used by people in these comments. What I would LIKE to know is whether or not people see any possibility of peace in Somalia. What does peace look like and what does it take to achieve it there? Do any of you reading these comments or watching this video of Mr. Mohamud WANT peace? What are you willing to do to buy the peace?

Bicep, some of the ... ( 6 months ago by Yaya8383)

Bicep, some of the comments below need to be refrained from and strictly disregarded as they carry no value or meaning. As to your question, do we want peace? I do not know ANY human being who would not wish to live a life in peace, integrity and prosperity. The minority achieving from war are IN Somalia, terrorising the population as I write. We have to take into consideration the political complexity in order to understand why a nation has not been able to get its act together for so long...

...In my opinion, ... ( 6 months ago by Yaya8383)

...In my opinion, not only do we face corruption in our politics, but our population carries an illness in form of tribes. This indoctrinated object still lives amongst our young ones as many know who their alleged "enemy clan" is. It is absurd and the question remains whether its curable. My approach would be not to eradicate it but instead find solutions to peaceful coexistence one day at a time until we no longer fear one another and our kids no longer have "enemies".

Wrong. The ... ( 6 months ago by biceps20)

Wrong. The moderator has already established the FACT that Mr. Mohamud is an immigration attorney in Minneapolis, MN, and is an adjunct professor of law at William Mitchell College of Law in Minnesota, of which he is also a graduate.

Agreed. Good point. I have banned one individual for repeated distorting established, documentable facts. Facts, not opinion. Everyone is entitled to say that they think someone is a bum or a loser, etc. They are NOT entitled to distorting documented facts. Thank you!

Array ( 5 months ago by AmbtsFella)

biceps20, I see that you deleted my comments questioning the qualifications of this gentleman. I merely raised a legitimate question, without disrespect. Instead of providing a prove of Mr. Mohamoud's qualifications and prove me wrong, you simply deleted disagreeing posts as you you can provide a prove.

You claim to be education and you're being a biased and racist against your own kind. Where is your education Mr Smart? This Hawiye dude is a Muslim Scholar and an attorney what are u ? Have u accomplished anything? Do people know you. It is this man and people like him who are fighting to bring back Somalia together as one country before the colonizations. Thanks to anyone who is working on bringing back Somalia together like Sheikh Hassan and the Samatar brothers!
