The ruins of Mogadishu-Reporters-EN-FRANCE24

[jbmaxa]

stop trashing my country u stupid bastards my country does not have peace because there are groups out there that will make sure we do not have stability but the people are strong the only way wee can have peace is to have one final big war in which all people stand up and fight for their right to live

[talltom1973]

Send them some cyanide laced water, and food. Put them all out of their misery

[fdama]

Fuck Somalia.

Save Somaliland.

[robertingramu]

Fuck the shit hole called Somalia.This is a disgrace to Africa, the shame of Africa, the truely failed nation in the world..Fuck the useless Somalis, who claim they are fucking Arabs, denying they are Africans. May the shit hole "nation" perish from the face of the earth..

[wabdinur]

@robertingramu

It seems you're projecting your feelings towards Somalis. This is unhealthy for you.

[TheSebulba1978]

what a dump

[tybash]

For an Anarchy ridden country, Somalia had done well for 20yrs.

I'm proud of it.

May it be peaceful and prosperous soon.

Great people.

[jbmaxa]

you fuckin dumb bastard u'r talking abouot a minority how bout all the children and less forutnate sal wecut off aide to dem u dumb bastard you don't kno what your talking about all somalia nds is power and stabilty thats it.

[Cedrusdeodara]

witness the lowest rung on the ladder of humanity, where people kill, murder, pirate, rape, and terrorize their own people for some sense of "power". They kill their neighbors, family's, friends, etc, and blame everyone else in the world. I say CUT OFF ALL AIDE to Somalia and wait for the mass exidous of women and children. Let the "warlords" starve in the MOG.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

May the lord bring our country back to stability and unity and Peace, and may my fellow Black-Somalian peoples stop the fighting, and develop our country, if our east-African nation Somalia gets Peace, then somalia can Progress and develop fast, because we got africas longest Coastline... and indeed that can attract white customers so we can take their money and built it up... so i hope my country Somalia see's peace soon.... and btw respect also to my fellow somalian Pirates of Puntland......

[Lostfaith1980]

But will that stop the worlds corporations from using somalia as a toxic waste dumping ground?

I doubt it.

That would take action from all of us.

[cyclohexane1]

its ironic, you want Somalia to become peaceful and progress but then you give respect to some of the worlds most violent criminals,lol. Thats why Somalia is the way it is, there tons of people there who give respect to murderers. Its so sad, Somalia and pretty much the rest of Africa is continuously being ignored because they can't get passed bullshit clans and tribes. Its so sad when the economic news goes from America to Europe, then skips fucking Africa all the way to Asia!

[fdama]

Welcome to Africa - Year Zero.

Bring the Italian colonialists back to Somalia. These people have yet to be civilised.

[nadwajay]

ihave no award to say but cry i love my country

[oamaer]

Another Sad story in my beloved country Somalia.

[oamaer]

In result, People in that city is living with the dead.

[oamaer]

Of course, mogadishu is ruins because "The war is a revolution--the uneducated against educated, the rural against the urban" and that is indeed very hard to solved. However, in 1990s Somali war was only Clan vs Clan, warlord vs warlord, and bussinessman vs bussinesman

[oamaer]

YEs, indeed the people in Mogashiu lived with the dead in almost 20 years.

in 1990s was CLAN VS CLAN , WARLORD VS WARLORD, BUSSINESSMAN VS BUSSINESSMAN.

In last few years people in Mogishu had different prblms, warlords are now wearing different unforms, names, such as al-shabab " the youth"and killing their fellow Somalis and Africans.

[Xirsiyo]

Good old days of Ethiopian troops clearing mogadishu out of Mooryaan. Sad thing is both Government and insurgents are using child soldiers.

[SomalianLayla]

I want to talk to you today about the tragedy in Somalia and about a mission that can ease suffering and save lives. Every American has seen the shocking images from Somalia. The international community must put Somalia at the top of its agenda and press for change before it is too late, Unless real action to end insecurity is taken very soon, the world is in danger of seeing a whole generation of Somali children growing up having only known war.

[blackhand307]

i work with alot of refuges from somalia and they are some of my best friends i see why they fled their homes!!!

[Cedrusdeodara]

I have seen very poor Americans help other very poor Americans during hard times. Here I see poor people killing/abusing/and taking advantage of other poor people. Why?????? Why?????

[tarekcapital]

that's sad

[wzupppp]

they are all on qat, thats why they wont clear up

[naftiihure]

xamar nabad baan urajaynaya insha,allah iyo beesha hawiye in ilaahay xaqa tuso -caasimada dalkana ay sidan kabadalan ogaadana in meeshu caasimadi dalka tahay.

[wewillwinit6times]

No one on this beautiful Earth deserves this, so very sad too see though that us humans, the alleged most intelligent creatures on Earth are making it as ugly as we possibly can.

May peace come very soon to Somalia and any other country affected by war.

[maruti22]

Leave our SOMALIA fucking infidels

[somalipeace]

the situation of somali are for such anarchy, but all is not lost we have proven to the world that somalis have the resistance to hard times, who do we blame the predicament in somalia? the refugees, the so called government, or the alshabab, or the business millionaires ? or above all are somalis so nomadic that they don't take 18 years experience in to nothing, are we not yet civilized?

[generalwow]

the nationalistic insurgency is one supported by the bulk of the somali population, and despite the efforts of the west to marginalize somalis with distorted propaganda and saturating ads against the somali population, somalis will kick out the ethiopians and all somali territories shall be re-claimed by brute force. whether you call this "al-qaeda" or "jihadist" has no effect what so ever

[Afgooyee]

meesha ariga lagu racayo, naagtana ay qoryahay ka gureyso waa barlamaanka. meesha kale ariga daaqayo oo ciyalka ku ciyarayan waa taaladii daljirka dahsoon those places once was the most beautiful places in mogadisho. This is the choice made by the somalis who started the ever ending civil-war and they'r still hungary for more wars. somalia was a proud nation we had a good life, hopes, dreams, dignity and future but they made us a shameful nation filled with hunger, poverty and hate Peace&Love

[nabadraadshe]

Qof kasta wax baa u muuqdo, aniga waxaa ii muuqda dad da' yar oo la fil ah dagaalka sokeeye. Waxaad waa labaaatan jir, wallaahi kuwan qoryaha wato ineysan weligood dowladnimo & kala dambeyn arag. Dagaalka sokeeye wuxuu bilowday 18 sano ka hor, kuwan dhowr & labaatan jirka ah ee qoryaha sito weligood ma arag wax la yiraahdo dowladnimo. Dadka Xamar deggan Ilaaheey wuxuu ka abaal marin dilkii, kufsigii & burburintii ay u geysteen dalka. Siyaad Barre kursigii laga qaadyee maxaa ka dambeeyey???

[leatho56]

please ALLAH have marcy,i know we did the biggest sins of killin each other.

[yungunna101]

HELL ON EARTH=MOGADISHU

[calaamad]

Subxaanallaah, did you see ariga Shabeelle lagu raacayo...Soomaaliya Ilaah ha u gargaaro!

[generalwow]

jews always distort the truth. they have created al-qaeda and its their interest to maintain it (at all cost). the jews wish to spark a conflict between muslims and christians so that they can dominate the world.

[crunchingbodycheck]

wtf? where do you get this view? have any proof? were you taught this by your parents or something?

these dudes are fighting amongst themselves...

[mike007lp]

Hahaha, what have you been smoking?

[fikatitio]

This is the biggest bullshit i ever heard

[randommental]

yeah, right on Hitler.......

[Caliph84]

It is high time we stood up and stop all this madness! We can solve our own problems without any outside help. But that will happen when we stop blaming other people. Our people are suffering because of some war criminals ruling our streets for over 17years. The militias are controlled by rich dudes whose family live far away. They enjoy the lawless situation. They can import anything and dump anything anywhere. They hide in the name of their clans. We can stop them and very soon inshallah

[barawathug]

who do we blame for this the American government they behind this bullshit and there ethiopian puppets i hope they burn in Hell

[barawathug]

Damm fuck the ethiopian government

[naftiihure]

ethiopia ayay hawiye kaga dhagtay war sidee nabad loo hela may idinkaga dhagto.nacala idinku yaal dameero,bal meeshas say u egtahay eega wa ghetto-place-lol

[jamaican8891]

[ogadenqueen]

THA LOST PARADISE

[ogadenqueen]

DAMM THAZ FUCKED UP.

[xarwe]

[xarwe]

to be honest we should plame our self, ethopian never dream to occupy soamlian central city. this is what we create our hands on the name of Qabiil. wise somalian youth can we take this pictures as assigment and deeply feel sorry for our nation. can we came togher and hold our hand save our land and forget our past black history which was brother killing brother, frien K frien,Daris dilaya daris,natinal gard K national gard in name of Qabiil. let us came togher and create new S.W.L.

[Preciousz18]

i agree, if we didn't start all this qabil shit, ethiopia would come no where near our country!

[Babyfacedblackjesus]

Can someone explain to me why Ethiopia is fihgting in Somalia?

[tastysalad]

cause it generally helps to have a stable next door neighboor

[nexgenguru]

They want to over take the land but somalia never gives in easy, from there past fights also the US failed in over-taking there land.

[saludAka]

coz Ethiopians want to killing childrens and

mothers tht's what they doing in somalia....

[banaadirtube]

Banaadir for banaadir people. Xamar for reer xamar.and and Mataan abgaal

[haduuman2007]

INsha Allah one day will be a big change as Abama said in his selection 08

[TheMasterOfMetallica]

We need to just send the UN back to Somalia and do more to return peace there.

[nexgenguru]

Shut up you dont know what type of dhit they cause.

[MISeattle]

Hawiye xayawaan Somaali oodhana waad la degteen. Ma waxaad garan weydeen Muqdusho oo ah magaalo hawiye degaan ahaan u leyahay inaad ilashataan. Bal eega Hargeisa. Muqdisho waa magaalo magac dheer laakin dad xayawaan ah baa sheegta. Weligeed meesha sidaad ka dhigteen ma soo noqonayso. Hawiye cadho ilaah baa idinku dhacday weligina meelkama imanaysaan. Aad baan uga uurka taalootay videokan. Alaah Kariim. Ilahay ha iddin naxariisto oo ha idinku soo hadeeyo nabada.

[Qalbiga]

MISeattle/Khalaf:

U 2 idiots it's not fair 2 blame everythin 4 Hawiye waa dabaalnimo,I knoe 4 sho' iney qeeb weyn ku lahaayeeb bt not every thing,just tell me guys who's destroyin Mogadishu? who's burnin housed n killin civilians? Is it Abdulahi Yusuf ( Daarood man ) gettin back from the dirty Ethio mothafukkars? mise waa hawiye n bla bla wax ma tareeso lets kick da amxaaro out of our country coz Somalia is now under colonisation

[IsseIkram]

Iam really sorry to see Mogadisho like this. it is worse to day than any time before. For this I held Abdillahi and others with no brain accountable. Abdillahi should really be in that bed. Fortunetly he has one day and nobody can make him there before hand. Anyway, we will build inchallah magadisho and the rest of somalia but first the puppets and his dogs must be thrown out. Not really, he must be hanged on the same are let the birds eat his flesh. dhulos from Lasanod.

[ugaas1]

I have Noticed some translation problems and mistranslation by the somali translator. what some of the people said was not translated accurately, someof the sentences where emphysised as such.

[xaliimoz]

laa ilaaha ila laah war yaa ilaahey yaqaan war somaliya ha loo miciino waaba dhimasho sidaane war qabiilka daaya

[dalxe]

the problem in somalia is exactly,people want to live the lives for others like the minority ppl live in eastern part of somalia(Harti Gaagaab). with the black christs in east africa(ethopia) but the true wil came true and pure somalis will win

inshalah

[khalaf2007]

Hawiye fuck idiots. look back how mugadishu used to boom with beauty and population. this is the only government and i think it will be the last. they should support even if it is the worrest gov in the whole world. atleast there will be peace and modesty. Moryans dont care about government and they even know what is means. look at Isaq and darood ppl. shame on ya idiots they they fucked up the whole somali nation.

[baabuur1]

[guitarman2793]

i no all its only a crappy desert were people kill each other

[ONEMANFORALL]

Power to the people in East Africa down dictatur regime. Peace and independent to the people in Horn Africa Kenya - Eritrea - Somaliland - Somalia - Oromia - Ogaden. We shall fight against bad government, poverty and killing of others ethnicetet like in Ethiopia and Kenya. War brings more hate and split in Africa soon it will be more religion war in Africa if not the superpower US do not make change - Great Obama many love in Africa.

[nathannathan124]

Fuck Somalia,I was there in 93 working for the CIA. Operation Irene was the brain child of the CIA, Those people are not civilized have no concept of government, people rights. They like to say their government is working but it is not. I thought when I left that would be my last dealings with the CIA, NOT; I went to Rwanda in 1994. Worse thing I have ever seen.

[wabdinur]

No country is free from civil turmoil. Somalia's civil war is far more complex than you think so don't even try oversimplifying it by concluding that they are uncivilized. What's uncivilized is when the world stands back while Somalia falls.I hope the next leader of that country disbands all Somalia's treaties with the rest of the world, especially the UN-real good shit they've done.

[Sikhindu]

I think people are confused about what to do with Somalia. Some are trying to help, then some countries do things to make the situation worse. Then the rest of us are watching in horror, we don't know what to do!

[wabdinur]

The first people to meet Somalia's president after the civil war will be the IMF, wanting their 4 billion dollars back :D Then the oil company chevron will demand to reclaim the territory they bought from Somalia's past dictator :D

[Sikhindu]

That's totally screwed up. How is the country ever meant to recover, ever?

[wabdinur]

If it kneels down to outside pressures like the the ones I just previously stated.Even then, that country won't recover, outside interventions would only make Somalia's wounds fresh.

[baburo101]

NOTE: The transilation is not accurate.

[shortskater444]

[kingofpuntland]

ibnghazzi hey is no way that i am a traitor you idoit

[kingofpuntland]

my God what have the hawiyes done to the capital they can't even rebuild the city and they want to be the prez what a joke

[ibnqhazzi]

fucking majerteen traitors and last thing i am not hawiye

[lamrof]

To blindly say Ethiopia must leave is irresponsible. Ethiopia repeatedly said they want to withdraw. Leaving now will create a security vacuum. If Somalis could not make peace in 16 years what is the logic behind now to go back to the status quo. TFG is the chance Somalia has and Ethiopia is helping that government. Ethiopia wnat an all inclusive government, so does the AU and UN.

Why can't Somalis do that?

[abunas2008]

'security vacuum'? prior to Meles disastrous blunder blunder in invadin somalia, somalia was in peace for 6 months thanks to the UIC and now Somalia is in its worst state ever, ask the UN, EU, AU and news channels

[lamrof]

ICU was implementing an Islamic Sheria law. Lots of Somalis were unhappy. On the other hand, the ICU declared JEHAD showing expansionist tendencies not only in Ethiopia but also Kenya. This made Ethiopia nervous for two things. 1 Somalia already invaded Ethiopia. 2. The ICU was backed by Eritrea. Ethiopia was invited by a legitimate UN recognized government to comein and help. So there is legality anyway you see it.

[abunas2008]

Its a shame that there are narrow-minded ppl 'lamrof' that support dictators like Meles. They run away from the truth, hide from reality and speak nothing but lies, lies and more lies....

[abunas2008]

I also predict in 2008 that there would also will be a second boarder war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Somali people full support will be with the people of Eritrea.

[lamrof]

I just read a report a large rally in portland, by Somali Americans supporting what the Ethiopia is doing for the TFG. So I don't get your blanket statement that Somalis support Eritrea and terrorists.

[abunas2008]

first of all there is no such thing as 'portland' in any regions in Somalia so plz think before u put false statements

[lamrof]

Portland is in the US. I wrote Somali Americans. So the rally was in the US. Check news these past few days.

[abunas2008]

and do u check news that there were demonstrating in London, USA, Canada & countless cities in Europe & Africa...just search video clips in youtube & the evidence is there! Proof!! type Somali Protest

[lamrof]

Yes there are lots of rallies against the presence of Ethiopian troops. What I don't understand is that all these smart people, including you advocate the departure of Ethiopia and also other AU forces. Do you think that is a smart choice now? What alternative do you provide? to go back to ICU after so much blood shade? If ICU comes back what guarantee do those next door have for a lasting peace?

[abunas2008]

To bring peace to Somalia, Ethiopian (Tigray) troops must leave Somalia and stop interfering in Somali politic....or else we will bring war to Addis!!! I predict in 2008 there would be a humiliating defeat of Ethiopian (Tigray) troops in Somalia and they will promptly leave Somalia in disgrace.
