Ifill a new political storm is breaking in baghdad. Efforts to form a government ran into strong opposition today from the sitting Prime Minister and that in turn, prompted new warnings from washington.

The new president fouad massoum, a kurd, tapped Deputy Parliament speaker haider alabadi, a shiite, to form a government and become Prime Minister.

That today wants to see the internet in everyones hand as available as low cost as with as much information into the hands of peep as possible . Think about it. I mean 1994 is ground zero. That is when the mosaic browser was invented. Those companies that were all founded before then, organization, institutions, governments, they take the internet. It is disruptive to their markets. They may have social Media Strategies and use internet in ecommerce but they want to put the genie back in the bottle. Look at the nsa revelations. What does that tell you about power trying to control information . If you look at companies after 1994, lets before 1994, bi, before internet and after 1994, ai, after internet. The mower closer ground zero, i. E. , google, you more information want to spread. Google had a mission, do no evil. However the further and further away they have gotten from 1994 they had to turn themselves into a pretzel and no longer are able to do no evil because of two major reaso
Slippage in that. Parliament has now come back meeting in mogadishu. It has to enact several key pieces of legislation in this session or else which shall be off track. So we will know quite soon whether this outrageously ambitious project is going to be doable or not. But at this stage there is no reason to say that it cant be done. Meanwhile, apart from having this plan of action of achieving these three major big ticket items, there is an outbreak, if you like, across somalia of free market, free market bidding process to become federal Member States.

So we have currently as many of you will know, between those advocating a three region and those advocating a six region federalstate, which is a difficult issue. We still have the implementation of the Juba Administration agreement which is taking time to work through, and then we had to de
Many times when i would go over, he looked like a dirty old man. Thompson one night, george left his room and went wandering through the facility. Records show that for almost half an hour, there was no one on duty in his wing of the building, and workers had failed to lock away a bottle of industrial strength dishwashing liquid. At some point that night, george picked it up and drank it. It contained a highly caustic chemical which severely burned his lips, esophagus and lungs. When he was in the hospital, his face almost looked like what you picture in a horror story of a death mask. And i hope that he wasnt aware of what was going on, but we certainly were afraid that he was just in horrific pain because he would almost try to sit up. Well, one time he did sit up. He did sit up. And opened his eyes, yes. And we said, daddy, were right here. Thompson the hospital couldnt save george, and on march 4, 2009, he died. The state of georgia found emeritus negligent in georges death. The si

Rose we have reports from kenya that Government Troops have taken control of the Shopping Mall and that there are i think what was five or six terrorists killed and some 12 in custody according to the New York Times report that i read. Can you tell me more about what happened and what we know . Well, what happened is that alshabaab has always been a threat to somalia, to the region and the world at large. So this is part of a campaign that they took recently in somalia where they have killed a lot of innocent people in their courthouse in mogadishu, in a calf fear where journalists use to take their Morning Coffee before they go to the office. And this is another horrific incident that took place so alshabaab is an ideology. The ideologys have no citizenship. They come across the world and the problem somalia faces todayd is because they base in the somalia bu
