Don&#039;t you think you are knocking the wrong door place in this case writing about you self distroyed country. If you have noticed, the topic was about on female genital mutilation. Instead of writing this BS of yours, assuning that you are one of the lucky somalian who came out to the west (USA), in particular to the country you all dislike, go some place and do your writing.</description>

Islamic court leaders say its Islamic duty to eliminate the puppet government and urged fellow Muslim to rise against this puppet regime.
Islamic Court is willing to informing that any innocent parliamentary personals must leave the Baidoa region within 48 hours. The innocent civilian’s population avoid any contacts between government’s places and military bases if not we are not responsible their safety. Islamic court officials confirmed that 20 mujahideen personnel went   a suicidal mission into Ethiopian targets without given any specific cities.

Islamic courts leaders specific Dahir Aweys and Sheekh Yuusuf Indhacade both man mention that If US governments doesn’t stop meddling  our internal affairs  or not stopping reconnaissance flight within our sovereign right. US government will pay a heavy price within East Africa regions and around globe. Islamic Union Court leaders and militias are well determining to defeat the enemy of God and Somalia as they putted and blamed the US administration.  

Islamic Union Court leaders declares the peace initiatives is a failure no longer be valid our party. The fighting will be continuances until our objective are met.
1.	To drive out all Ethiopian military personals within Somali tertiary includes Ogaden region and any other  foreign troops in our soil
2.	Overthrow puppet governments
3.	United all Somalia includes Somaliland and Puntland 
4.	Law must be  a Sharia law ( Islamic Law)
5.	Held direct election within 2 years “all Somali region “

Islamic Courts leaders say that above points are not negotiable.

Transitional federal Governments (TFG) officials cannot comment above points, the threat given their official. The Prime Minister Prof Gedi we cannot negotiation with the terrorism groups based in Mogadishu. Its matter of time they will bring full control, law and order and justices in that region.  

Somalia peace process and nation building effort are distant future. Both sides are unimaginable position.</description>

		<description>Yes,it sounds really wrong.In my opinion, if the mother is attending to her daughter&#039;s needs herself, she would notice the mutilation straight away. The only valid excuse would be if the mother was absent for a couple of weeks when the mutilation occured.</description>

		<description>Another unresolved oddity ...

The mother claimed that the child was mutilated when she was one, but that she didn&#039;t notice until one year later.  Doesn&#039;t that sound wrong?</description>
