Our country is suffering from a massive brain drain.

We need willing “brains” with no hidden agendas.

Unfortunately, willing and honest brains are not available where they are needed.

So, our country is in a “adverse selection” mode to accelerate its own demise.

Yes, I got your message.

I am yet to see a testimony of what actually happened in Somalia.

It is taboo that no one wants to talk about.

For us to learn from our mistakes, yes, we need to know our mistakes.

Politicians, Academics, Culamaas and the elders need to talk about these things in detail.

In Rwanda, people saw or learnt about what happened and the perpetrators came forward and sought forgiveness.  

So, I totally AGREE with you on the notion that we need to spill the bean and bury the hatchet.

I don’t think people fully appreciate the intricacy of our dilemma.

Let’s pray for the best.

Cheers

I tend to disagree with save first and justice later.  The very reason these people are dying is because some committing crimes and others are keeping silent our silence is what is killing us.  Where are the good poeple of the perpetrators they are key to saving things, but they are nowhere to be found, also silent we all are about xaqa.  Man sakata can al xaq fahuwa shaydaanun akhras - those who keep silence of justice are silent satan.  Do you know what that means, the consequence of silenece is profound on every level.  Silence cawaaqib kiisa you will witness socially, politicaly, economically and in every level.  Don't underestimate the consequences of silence it is what is finishing our race.  In other race were saved by those who sought justice, look at rwanda they were saved by justice!!!!!!!!!!

sukuut can alxaq cawaaqibkiisa aad bey u weyntahay!!!!!!!!!!Somalia can only be saved and united by the voices of justice nothing else trust me, if you don't believe me we can talk again when you have exhaousted all other paths than the path of justice!!!1only the lessons you didn't learn in 18 years I would not believe you will learn in the next few years.  taa kaliya ayaa Soomaliya soo celin karta, taa kaliya ayaa caruurta dhimaneysa u sabab ah.

don't be satan because if you do God will treat you as God treats satan!!!!!!!!!!!!

al sukuut can al xaq mussibad wee yaan, ee waqtiga ka faa iideysta Soomaalieye, ha la isi saamaxo hadal ma aha, waxaa la saamixi karaa qof qirta qaladkiisa, laakiin qalad maan galin laakiin aanu isi saamaxno hadal ma aha.  

It is a whole process you admit guilt , you tell the truth then you request in lagu saamaxo, just like South Africa and Rwanda!!!!!!!!!!

labada mid Soomaaliyey soo gala ama aanu xisaabtano, oo hadhow cafis aanu kala dalbano ama cinaad iyo adugaba waxaas baad samyesey aanu kujirno until Somalia is no more!!!!!!!!!!!trust me that is no khuraafaat anymore, Somalia will seace to exist sooner than you think!!!!!!!!!!!1

I concur with you.

Even though we can not generalise people, according to culamaa and their verdicts based on our Diin, one of the main reasons why we are in such a dire situation is because God punished us collectively.

“Qoom ay ku jiraan dad naasixiin ah lama halaago” and don’t forget, its not “saalixiin” it is “naasixiin” if my Arabic does not fail me. Taasi waxay ka dhigan tahay dad wanaagsan mihiim ma aha ee waxaa la rabaa dad wax hagaajinayo.

This means, even if there were thousands of pious and devout Muslims in places like Mogadisho, Baidoa and the Shabales when all these vulnerable defenceless victims were getting massacred, they did not do the right thing by keeping silent or by being indifferent.

Most of those who committed the atrocities are gone by now.

So, the best way to memorise and give justice to the ones that perished is to protect the surviving vulnerable ones that are likely to end up in a similar situation.

And please don’t forget that more Somalis lost their lives because of diseases and malnutrition than being killed.

If you listened to the BBC today, it is like a whether forecast. From Midlands, through Hiiraan, Bay, Bakool and all the way to the Shabeeles, it was 11 deaths here 13 there. How sad is that my dear? What is worse than keeping these innocent kids in such grave condition with equally greave consequences?


I think we should save the dying ones first and then seek justice later.


Cheers.

Do you know one of the symptoms of psychopathology are lack of empathy and the inability to feel that your actions are causing pain or hurt to others!!!!!!!! Psychopaths do not feel pain of others that’s why they are serial killers and rapists!!!!!!!!!

The implication was petty differences (gone too far) being the catalyst for the horrors Somali people committed against one another. Also, having grown up outside the country, it's unwise to hypothesize that I'm criminal or bad person. However, in the sense that we're all criminals because we have failed to collectively address our differences, then I accept the guilty verdict.

 Waxaan rabaa inaan u jawaabo ninkaan la yiraahdo "DIIDGAL" hadalkii ugu danbeeyay oo soo qoray. Horta waxaan rabaa in aan qeybo hadalkiisa ahaa wax aan ka taabto.
1- Horta maanta siyaasada ka jirto dalkeena ma aha mid diin ku salaysan ama diin wax ka badali karto, waayo Somalia waa dad 100% Islam ah, midkii ilaah ku casiyayna uu og yahay qaladka u ku jiro.
2- Ilaah aduunka waxa uu inoo keenay in aan ku cibri qaadno, intuu Islam ama Kitaabku imaan Ilaah waxa uu dunida ku abuuray dad cawaan ah oo diina heysan lakiin Ilaah markii uu umadiisa ka yaabay dulmigooda ayuu u soo diray nidaam ay kuwada nooladaan. Marka Ilaah ma dhahin si ciriiri ugu noolada dhulkayga oo wakaas aad u jeedo dhulka baxaada weyn oo ina siiyay ee umadiisana ku heshiin la'dahay.
3- Mida sadexaad Ilaahay wuu xarintimaayay ka colaada horiya ha noqoto mid Islam ama mid Gaalo. Gaaladana Ilaah ayaa abuurtay mana ogid in Ilaah hanuunin doono xaga wacan waadna aragtay magan galayda ay ina siiyeen ee aan ka heli waynay dadkii Islamka ahaa. Waa tii ogeyd waxii ka dhacay dalkeena maantana dhibka haysto ma aha mid diin la'aan ee xaraantii laga galay dad aan waxba galabsan oo maalkoodii iyo noloshoodiiba ku luntay.
Marka DIIDGAAL nin munaafaq ah ayaa tahay, ee naga jooji xumaanta iyo quranka kaa buuxo. Aduun iyo qariba waa u shaqeysanaynaa oo Ilaah ayaa yiri u nooloow sidii aduun ka dhimanay, u cabso sidii adiga oo bari ka tagaya. Mida Ilaaheey umadiisa asagaa iska leh ma gaalo ha ahaato ama Islaan ha ahaato isaga ayaa la xisaabtami marka ma laha waxaad u bahantay in aad xadiisyadii nabiga aqrisataa.

The topic was Somalia and Rwanda not European, China and Japanese atrocities.

The Rwandese beat us on severity but we caught up and beat them with our longevity.

The Rwandese learned from their mistakes and decided to move forward.

Our problem is that we never get enough of anything.

If things don’t change soon, Somalis will perish in their thousands without a single shot fired on them.

Even if things change, it will be too little too late for some.

“Aabahay baa Geel lahaan jiray anaa Dameer leh baa ka fiican”

I don’t buy that statistics of only 350, 000 people died in that decade,
Baidoa only was almost close to that number. If you count the civil war
in its entirety, we are closer to them than you think. But, instead of
emphasizing their fault and what they’ve done wrong why are you hiding
their improvement? They massacred each other to a degree that is not
seen in Africa in recent memory but they overcame to build a thriving nation
and became a powerhouse for Central Africa. They send peacekeepers to all hot
spots in Africa; their economy was growing to close to a double digit.
A lesson should be learned instead of excavating their not so envious past.
    adamjama @ 3/17/2009 4:46 PM EST
 There is a lot we can learn from Rwanda including the art of mass murder with unprecedented speed & efficiency. If you look at the World's worst 32 atrocities, Somalia is the last at that list #32. Most African countries like Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo etc are all way ahead of us.  Rwanda Massacred in 1994 800,000 within 21 days but Somalia on the other hand lost 350,000 from 1991 to 1999 when the statistics was compiled and can you believe that included all forces of death like famine and epidemics. Now do you agree with me that we can learn a lot from Rwanda to move up the ladder of mass murder. I hope they don't train our police! I heard they also have a trained rats that can sniff land-mines.

 It does not matter how the president speed up his work in the country until there is establishment to have anyone inside the country that is the time to work and changes can occur. There is no notion that are more worst than Somali people in the world never exist and that is why am I saying is that the World has been through where we are today but what the "World" make them reliase the situation was judging each individual and putting them justice all criminal people. But us our criminals are still not facing justice and they are running some of them in the goverment and acting that they did nothing to the nation. Rwanda criminals who killed billion of innocent people face justice and that is how they forget and forgive eachother. My point is that until Somali war criminal face justice and notion forgive those people it's hard to dream on peace.

You might be right but trust me brother, timing is crucial.
For individuals, yes, patience is virtue but for organisations and governments, speed, timing and precision is vital. Because of their complex nature, delays, hiccups and bottlenecks are inevitable.

Your argument makes sense, but only when it’s applied in a certain situation and given the right environs are in place.  The heads of PL & SL can travel within their regions requiring few body guards- but can Sharif go Afgoye without a mechanized infantry leading the way? It seems that his absence from Mog at the moment reduces the chances of innocent people dying due to target practices performed by Al-Haram on Villa Somalia.

I would advice him to employ his resources as efficiently as possible. Don’t forget, there are times when a day today is different (better) than another day in some other day, if that makes sense. That is what they call “Time value of money” in finance. What I am trying to say is, contrary to what you said last night (him spending his first 2-3 months travelling around), the first few weeks of his tenure will determine the success and the failure of his government. To make full use of that very limited but very crucial time, he needs to speed up his processes and try to do as many things as possible. I,e, he can delegate some of the low priority visits and also do two and three things at once. At the current rate, the guy will end up touring Africa for the next 100 days and end up achieving nothing.

In sum, there is nothing wrong with him visiting these neighbouring countries but for god’s sake, he is taking the mick. He can visit them all in one day and do other things.

 dalmar haji!

if rwanda is such a pretty place to live how come some hutus are still hiding in the bush in congo?
nope it's not.... now we are being told things are rosy until entrepreneur paul cross his masters.then they will start bashing him and looking to arrest him. right now we can't know.
As for islam, yes during the massacre rwandan muslims were not involved, in fact they live together and intermarry.those who sought refuge in mosques or muslim populated areas were spared from massacres. unlike somalis, rwandan islam is void of tribalism.
unfortunately thats not sharif's agenda, i am sure he wont even visit the muslims there.... he's busy learning to be obedient puppet.

Please check your Rwanda facts before you bash the
country that is growing at almost a double digit rate
even since entrepenuer Paul took over.

As for Islam to be a force to eradicate tribalism
isn't a strong Islamic institution necessecary?
Build one or support the building of one. Stop yapping.

Stop you bias selection of postings, if it won't offend anyone there is no reason to oppress peoples opinion.

You release only those who concur your personal point of view and others are discarded (what a shame)

 President Sh Sharif is doing very wel, but one advise I would like to give the president: Please wear tie or leave the suit alone and wear islamic robe-Khamiis or Kwunda suit.

 Assalaam alaykum!!!

what can you learn from rwanda?
only islam eradicate tribalism,as for somalia it has to happen once and for all in sha Allah.
i am telling you this because the world that tribalism in rwanda has disappeared thanks to UN propaganda.
nope it hasnt,while this guy is in power other tribes are feeling let down and oppressed.... more hatred.

There is a bug in your system, what is going on it took
you that long to perfect this, or you are not trying?

 Rwanda is sending forces to us, to save us from ourselves that is a tragic reality.

The ever so proud Waryaa, are beggars of civilized African world.

Stop name calling you "HANDSOME" banana eaters Waryaa. After all,
"action speaks louder than words." They succeeded where you failed miserably

 Rwanda!!

Compare Rwanda and Somalia for the last two decades and look
how low they went and how far each came up. There is a lesson
for all of us. Those of you African bashers should learn from this.
And stop “blame others” first attitude. We know we are not alone
for our affairs, but don’t make an excuse for your failures.
