The Somali Government strongly condemns a suicide bomber that killed 4 people and injured over 10, including a member of the Somali parliament and three journalists at an event in the National Theatre that marked the 28th anniversary of the Somali National Television.

Somalia's Olympic committee and football heads are among 10 people killed in a suicide blast in Mogadishu. Somali PM Abdiweli Mohamed Ali was also present when the attacker struck the newly re-opened national theatre, but he told the BBC he was unhurt. Al-Shabab militants say they carried out the bombing.

Turkey's PM has said he wants to challenge the idea that Mogadishu is a no-go area The first major commercial airline in more than 20 years has landed at Mogadishu airport in war-torn Somalia. Turkish Airlines says it is the start of a regular service to the Somali capital, the first by an international carrier from outside East Africa. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bosdag was on board the flight, which was welcomed by the Somali president. The twice-weekly flights should make travel easier for Somali businessmen and members of the large diaspora.

People recalled that there have been some 20 international conferences on Somalia since the collapse of central authority in 1991, and that they have achieved very little. Not another big, expensive talking shop, many Somali-watchers thought. But since then, there are a couple of signs that this one might be different. So everyone is free to image his view about critical and ongoing problem of Somalia and the outcome of this conference?????????????????????? We need your comments Thanks nayd@yahoogroups.com

They say younger generations are the future leaders of tomorrow. Worldwide Somali Students and Professionals (WSSP) is a global non political association based in the Diaspora whose major goal is to unite the hearts and minds of the Somali students and professionals and to get them work together by empowering the Somali community with knowledge and education back home and prepare them to be self sufficient by making use of the rich locally available resources.

The U.N. special envoy to Somalia moved to Mogadishu on Tuesday for the first time in 17 years, signaling international support for a government fight against Islamist rebels’   preparations for the election this year. High –level officials from the united nation have been passed in Kenya capital of Nairobi since 1995 because of security concerns, although its political office for Somalia had few political officers in the capital Mogadishu. Al Qaeda- linked Alshabab militants withdraw from most of their passes in Mogadishu last august after sustained pressure from Somalia and African union troops, but violence still grips many parts of the country.
