Muqdisho residents should stop.

[Hassan Garguute Buldanana]

That is the worst idea i've heard on here. They're going to want to create their own country.Horrible idea. Like giving jubba & shabelle away. These guys already feel ignored by the government. Might aswell shot yourself in the foot.

Every body should be free to decide thier destiny just like ur folks

Somalia is a colonial project after all

That would be a propaganda win for Somalia's enemies. The government needs to dig in its heels and purge the enemies from within. AS barely has any military victories against the SFG where they only captured leego & bariire but somehow are allowed to cause havoc unimpeded in the capital.

Somalia will not defeat an insurgency as strong as Alshabab in the foreseeable future. Somalis do not seem to understand the timescales we are talking about here. Alshabab may be active for the next 30 years. Columbia, Burma and Afghanistan are good examples of this. You are sorely mistaken if you think that Alshabab will be defeated militarily in the next decade.

The civil war in Somalia entered an ideological phase in 2006 with the rise of the UIC. This is no longer about clans fighting for turf, no one commits suicide for his clan. The time to build an SNA was when Abdullahi Yusuf was elected in 2004. The people of Mogadishu fought him and brought religion into what was until then a clan conflict. The UIC created by Reer Mogadishu changed everything. Ask the average man in Mogadishu today what he thinks of the UIC and he will praise it, yet these are the same forces that gave rise to Alshabab! Somalis do not understand cause and effect.

What I am trying to say is that we have to come to grips with the possibility that this insurgency maybe a permanent feature of Somalia.

Spot on sxb, people act as if alkebab magically appeared from nowhere and were not the military wing of UIC. We forget recent history very easily.

 

[Bilal]

Let’s be honest, the civil war made millionaires out of warlords, businessmen and politicians. They don’t want the status quo to end.

We shall get rid off them like Gaddafi style

 

[Mohsin]

AS can claim they got the Gov't to relocate and it delegitimizes the SFG in the short-term. Moving it away from Xamar isn't going to make the government more effective or less corrupt

Why we can not change the capital city. if city grows crimes grow too look Turkey they changed it to ankara, USA , and many other countries changed Their capital city

 

[Mohsin]

Xaafuun deserves capital city of Somalia

 

[mrlog]

Walaahi waa yaaab 40% of you Xoolo still live in ur Hooyo's basement.
40% are college drop outs
15% are single single mothers/fathers oo gees gees u socda.
What do u know bout Siyaasad?

 

[SomaliWadaniSoldier]

Xamar is peaceful if u ignore the small explosions

 

[Agent 47]

Xamar is the image of Somalia. The only mordern city in Somalia

It’s ahead of all the dusty city isku sheeg although it gets bombs once in two weeks.

You search somalia, bad pictures and good pictures of xamar shows up. No a single other city contributes to the beauty of Somalia at all.

 

[waraabe]

kkkk wanlawein make me laugh


just change the capital to garowe kkkkk

 

[Mohsin]

Somalia Federal parliament should change the capital city to Xaafuun,

 

[XamarCade]

How can the ppl of Mogadishu fight and protect themselves from AS when failmaarjos first shit he did was ban private securities from xamar and replaced it with no one, only shit his ass is doing is blocking roads and calling for war against AS while handing of Veterans to the raw meateaters and goes on tour begging Uganda and Ethiopia? His priorities is all the way fucked up

 

[The Cushitic One]

What exactly are amisom doing
For Somalia?



Like the post above me what is
frogmajoo Doing?

They need a real president who
Will actually do his motherfuckin
Job

 

[Agent 47]

Somalia Federal parliament should change the capital city to Xaafuun,

Why? That is a small village
“Xaafun, the village capital of Somalia”

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

I love how they screamed aar farmaajo in geeya and now they're screaming aar farmaajo igu saraa!

 

[Khad714]

[Merchant of Mogadishu]

SFG won't be able to control Mogadishu anytime soon.

There are too many warlords still living in the city that have a stake in the current chaos.

Move the capital some place else and the federal security apparatus could control and monitor every inch of the new capital without butting heads with warlords.

Apart from the crappy modular offices near the airport; Mogadishu doesn't have any government infrastructure worth staying around for.





What do you expect of citizens living in Xamar?

Snitch on suspicious behaviour for the police/NISA officials that are getting bribed by Al Shabaab on the side?

Let's just give up on the city for now and maybe revisit it in a century.

Yes that's exactly what I expect from the citizens. If not then they should call for change in the government so they can sort out this mess.

Wallahi, the pessimism on this thread is unbearable.
