There is nothing like being in Forodhani Park in Stonetown, Zanzibar in a summer night while inhaling the breeze of the Indian Ocean. Really spectacular. Just don't wait too long before you challenge Mt. Kili:-) Don’t forget Zanzibar!

He should get out of Xamar and stop spending so much time traveling around the world. The Shababist have been successful because they never abandoned their original Union of Islamic Courts' strategy (super extreme this time, obviously), whereas Sheikh Sharif just replaced Abdullahi Yusuf in name. EP, you didn't notice my sarcastic tone about that crazy congresswoman? It strikes me as very ironic that the Sheikh Sharif terrorist of few years ago is hanging out the home state of this insane woman.

The Sharif of 2006 was correct and the Sharif of today is also correct. There is no contradiction in this. In 2006, Sharif battled warlords who held Somalia hostage and today he is fighting against anarchists who want to liberate "Alaska, Japan and the Solomon Islands." There is no decent way of saying that Sharif or any sensible person should choose the Shababists. Their agenda is an Arab agenda and their continuous burning of the Somali flag should give you an idea. About "Minnesota's crazy congresswoman" no Sharif didn't meet with her. Most Somalis live outside the district she represents and the Congressmen and women who came were mostly DFLers. There is no reason to believe on Wednesday same thing we believed on Monday, no matter what happened on Monday. America and the civilized world have a right of making sure the Al Qaida ideology doesn't take form in failed states, because Afghanistan have shown us the reach and aims of these anarchists san borders. There is no reason to cling onto conspiracy theories and deny the reality Somalia and the world face What is your solution for Somalia bro?
