Dowllad tuugo ah oo shacabkeeda qiyaamaysa oo ku burburinaysa wixii ku haray guryaha. madax xumahana ku raaxaysayaayo 5 star hotel iyo shabaabal majaaniin oo maytadii ku burburinaya qabuuraha ayey ummadu u dhaxeysaa

@asaidsam It is al shabaab who turned their backs on their AMIR, when the ethiopians choose peace and leave Somalia, one can make peace with christians if it serves the intrests of the ummah, and i thing Sheikh Shariff was right to have the 120 day ceasefire allowing Ethiopia to withdraw...

[asaidsam]

Subhanallah...How could you turn your back on your religion and join sides with the Ethiopian and Western Armies...

Long Live Mr President!
