Al Shabab are Somalia's Talibans, just like the Talibans they hold Osama as their spiritual leader and have many foreign leaders or influences, they are very active in Somalia in particular the south, in an around Mogadishu.

They are ruthless and nitorious, they have no respect nor regard for human lives, their recent bombing of a student graduation ceremony in Mogadishu has angered many Somalis as a result Al Shabab has split into two fanctions, pro-foreign and pro-Somalis. The difference is that the pro-foreign have global view while the pro-Somalis have local interest.

They are killing the Somali people.

I was not saying Chechnya is like the Talibans what I meant was Pakistani militants leave their country and join many fronts and the Pakistani government maybe wants to block this in its own way. Less instability Muslim states mean less Pakistanis travel out off their country to fight jihad. In many guesses it ends up been not proper jihad killing fellow Muslims.

I do support Chechnaya's statehood.

You get me?

Mr Oscar, I can understand the point you are making about fighting Al Shabab and Teliban, but why are you bringing occupied and oppressed Chechnya into the debate??? I say all power to them. I am not very supportive of Hezbollah though as they seem to have no reasonable agenda.

It's about time Somaliland opened an office in East-Asia, well done Pakistan I also believe this is their way of fighting the Talibans as we all know the Talibans that Pakistan is battling in their country is linked to Somalia's Al Shabab so Pakistan properly sees this as closing the net on them.

It's important to understand that Taliban's cant be beaten unless Somalia's al shabab are brought under control, they will just travel from region to region, from Somalia to Pakistan, Chechnya to southern Lebanon with Nasrallah and Hezbollah.

This is great; Somaliland needs to create a lot of allies whether they are within the Islamic community or outside investors who would like to invest in Somaliland. China is already investing East Africa and we should bring them close. When we create strong relationship with our neighbors then the West will come. My fellow readers we are witnessing a new approach of recognition and I do give big hand those who handling this case and how they reconstructed their old idea.

Yeah! Somaliland needs to develop strong ties with China, India and the rest of the growing nations in Easy Asia; when the West sees China and others landing frequantly in Hargeisa’s Egal International Airport, then you will see the West getting jealous and rushing to Somaliland!

Pakistan is an important nuclear power nation on the global arena as well as an important Islamic nation, Somaliland needs to develop close ties with its Muslim nations and African neighbours and forget about the West.

Somaliland also needs ties with China, by far China is the only nation that keeps its promises with Africa.

Step by step, engagement, discussions, and a first hand assessment of the situation in Somaliland always leads to progress.
