Somalia: Mogadishu celebrates 1 year since al-Shabab’s exit
August 6, 2012 · 32 Comments
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Residents of Mogadishu are celebrating the one-year mark since Islamist militants were forced out of the capital.
It was last Aug. 6 that al-Shabab fighters fled the city in the face of military pressure from African Union and Somali forces. On Monday thousands of Somalis gathered in a Mogadishu sports stadium to celebrate a victory that ushered in a year of relative peace and progress.
Over the last year, sports leagues began and the national theater reopened. New beachside restaurants invited in customers for seafood.
Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, addressing the stadium crowd, thanked troops from Uganda, Burundi, Djibouti and Ethiopia for helping in the fight against al-Shabab.

Alhamdulillah
there is realy no point celebrating as there is no peace in this city.
Subhan'ALLAHA, you r not better than a amxaar who hates somalis. Shaytaanka iska naar warya. All this hate will take you not to jannah. There is peace compare to couple yrs ago.
stop being racist to amxaar people atleast they are better looking then your people
Good to see Mogadiscio getting relief from the bad conflicting wars in the Capital, although
the Alshabab fighters are still strong fighting the expring weak TFG and their Amisom and
Ethiopian/Kenya supporters.
Cheers.
Well Done Muuqdisho….build on this success further.
Alhamdulilah, great to see them happy and enjoying themselves.
i dont share any dna with those southern sub-humans in fact they are not even human. they are ugly and uncivilized
May ALLAH SWT guide you on this holy month brother!
may allah swt guide your shameless people
May ALLAH SWT guide all people like you whether they are black, white, red, hawiye, darood or isaaqs. You r not better than those hawiye n daaroods who hate isaaqs. It takes one to know one.
Alshabab group has been silenced by a pressure from the IC for now but a similar Islamic group will spring up in Somalia soon. History does repeat by itself.
Osman Qaal
bro is wrong to say Islamic group coz as far as I am concerned Islam doesn't teach us to slaughter innocent human beings.. alshabab also known as Alshayaadeen are nothing but power hungry freaks, using religion for thier own political purpose.
Nice to see you back. Ramadan greetings. Btw Alshabab group replaced the UIC group
which was pushed to become the underdog of all the Somalia warring factions. If Alshabab is
replaced by another Islamic group, It would mean the UIC Wing. Btw the UIC wing chaired by
the strong Patriarch Sheikh Dahir Aways could be the only possible comeback to replace also
the roadmap strategy. If that happens which's the only likelihood, a new Islam rule in Somalia
would follow the Egyptian Muslim brotherhood and the Islam of Turkey. Btw after the win of the
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the Partliamentary and Presidential Civilian peoples elections
doing away with the military dictatorial powers, even the so-called Alqaida would fade away and
my guess hints that all the Al/OIC World would close their differences and become a one solidarity
bloc like the EU and EC? Then the World would find better understandings including the M-E
Crisis.
Cheers.
@osman5.
Why you always undermining stabilty of somalis.if There is no peace in somalia, well There will be no real progress your little enclave delusionist state.
Kaboon is the grandson of Silaanyo, no one should take him and his self-hate serious. Somalia is one and the Somali passport will be available to all Somalis within its territory.
The victory over the foreign extremists is a victory for the Somali people. Even the West knows dividing Somalis will not work in the long term thus in order to keep relations with them, they must respect their territorial integrity.
Somaliland was last year like al Shabab before Silanyo.
Kaboon hates Somalia. Kayse hates Somaliland. you two represent all evils.
Kaboon is the grandson of Silaanyo is something new to me…even if he's so what has it
got to do with the good President of Somaliland? C.mon kayse you are no more than a
spoiled hater of the Silaanyo's and his whole clanship. Repeating the same childish and
dirty abuses would have no serious effects on the highly reputed Silaanyo's and their kinships.
Sooner or later your outrageous malicious mischief would find you cornered like Buurmadow!
You just can't fly around with such a loose unfiltered malicious tongue.
Cheers.
@kayse.
Just ignored kabooon alike most of These folks are in state of hallucination.
kkkkkkkkkkkkk first of all i don't think you can fly with the so-called zoomali passport so there is no need to get one. secondly i am not the magnificent siilanyo's grandson. kayse you are sad because your mother had a secrete affair with siilanyo .
you are still delusionist like the haw!ye silverbacks and dar00d rats who still thinks the westerners and Ethiopians are trying to divide them, you have to take responsibility for your own territory.
thirdly is somaliland is last year then why is there a continues influx of haw!ye and dar00ds.
kaboooooooooooooon-kuno.
is**qs are minority campare to This two giant tribes dar@@d/haw*ye.kkkkkkkkk
that is becouse they produce offsprings like cockaroches.
You need to clean The garbage in hargeisa/burco That is where all The cockaroches and rats Reside.
Well done Mog, I just hope the peace and stability is done in a long term sustainable way.
@ Kayse
it is funny how you try to mask you envy of Somaliland by attacking President Silaanyo. I'm sure you would be saying the same kind of rubbish regardless of who the president is.
Silaanyo is the only elected head in the Horn of Africa. Essentially he is one of the few remaining Somali Statesmen.
Friendly word of advice Kayse, Haters never prosper
Viva Somaliland
JCeek,
Well said. you're one the handful commenters on this forum who understood Kayse's malicious attacks towards Somaliland.
Osman Qaal
Mogadishu is in peace once again , wonder why this is a threat to sectionists and pirate kings.
Have you notice that kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Praise to ALLAH all the haters can't change what ALLAH SWT has written
Kaboon,you are a joke
He is more a sad old bag. A muslim man who diss a mum on holy month Ramadan shame on him. He does not even have respect for his onw mum.
mohamed cheers,
I've never left the scene but rather reduced my frequent visits to the Somalilandpress website due to more outdoor activities I'm involved in during the summer months.. I'm glad to see you're keeping the Somalilander haters at bay… Thanks for the info in regard to the chronological events in Somalia and it's recent Islamic revolutions..
@ Nuux,
I have nothing against Somalis if that's what you're insinuating, furthermore, please try to compare apples to apples should you desired a smooth conversation between us, if not, good luck with your solo mission..
Osman Qaal
@osman5.
folks like you are always behind The rest of The world talking cheap”like foodley”.
You can’t realy compare two council to eight million strong.
I bank on a quality over quantity.. Don't try to divert the conversation to your comfort zone.. tribalism!
Osman Qaal
NO real quality in That neck of The woods to be honest.
Now you telling us The councils not run by tribesmen you gotta be joking.
