Has Ras Kamboni crossed the line (BBC interview)

[Khalid Ali]

c`mon fellas don't demean yourselves with this silliness.
Kismayo must be a multiclan international commercial centre.

In an ideal world yes a beautiful city with a beautiful coast enough for lots of tribes with the right investment and the right leadership Kismayo has so much potential i was very surprised the city was that huge. But back to reality you are talking about a failed state destroyed by famine islamists warlordism piracy tribalism. Right now its all about winner takes all and if you are not satisfied well that is ur problem

[original dervish]

no, I think wiser heads will prevail this time.
We will turn the region into the jewel of Africa

That was 2008 the battle between Barre Hiiraale and Shishkabab that lasted THREE DAYS. The battle with Madoobe lasted 6 minutes and He was in Kenya already never to come back again except on top of Kenyan tanks. Barre was saying "Ogadeen, Kablalax, etc" to try to get more support from His clan. Funny How a year later Shishkabab became synonomous with Marehan.


Fact: Ogadeen never controlled Kismaayo for ONE night.
Fact: Marehan controlled it for several years as recently as 2008

we aren't talking about controlling kismayo. waxaan ka hadlaynaa face to face.
