Jumatatu What about people with better qualifications who are being paid less money or given worse jobs just because they're not English or Americans. A few weeks back I was watching a programme about a Muslim of Asian origins who was about to move to UAE with his family being told by an englishman not to expect the salary advertised because of he did not look european. How can anyone not moan about that!

That makes two of us. I've seen and heard lots of contradictions in this story from both sides but I believe the truth will soon come out. Here's a Radio HorseedNet interview that comments on doctors who are supposed to have examined her.

Ouch! A bit barbaric. Put on the same shelf as the ones out of Fallujah

The same thing happened at HUTs Rally for Islam conference in Trafalgar Square, August 1995. This time 2 Hindu women were converted on stage in front of 2000 cheering Muslims. I was there! I remember a handful of gays making a protest - from safe distant - against the rally and after someone told the speaker what the homos were upto he turned to them holding the microphone and quiped with strong arabic accent: "God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!"

^^Sophist, is the Jingali in the fallen Cabinet the same man who used to be Siad's man in London?

^^ What I find even harder to understand is the chap who used to run around SOL looking for sympathy by posting pictures of starving people is now cheer-leading the clown's 'heroes'.

On a serious note, from the 275 MP's in that parliament who are the ideal or suitable members of Cabinet of your choice? If Lassie has already said he doesn't think the USC members were suitable for the post of PM and his choice came from outside the 275 MP's, what make them suitable for the other cabinet posts? If Lassie (with the help of his vet) sincerely believes and publicly states that the most talented members of parliament just happen to be from a single clan, why should he accommodate the talentless muppets? If anyone in here believes they can make create a cabinet from the planks in there, feel free to share your artistry.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Originally posted by SmithNwestern: LOL... I think its a good sign the President and PM cant do what they like, when they like. Yes they can't do what they like indeed, like going home This Mbagathi fractions are making Saladboy's faction look like a slick machine Keep it ... where it is

Why don't the men have their own section? Maybe it's because ALL of SOL is for our leisure. From politic,poetry,women,sport... I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Lander thanks for that. The question remains, what is the solution to this problem? Is it time for Somalis living in Ethiopia and Oromos to make peace and stand together and get rid off the Tigre minority government playing them against each other? I don't see help from outside coming anytime time soon.

Suldanka from the title I think that's Togane's weird way of paying tribute to both Qaasim and Andrzejewski. Qaasim for his poetry and Andrzejewski for translating and writing about Somali poetry. But that's just my guess. Here's how the Andrzejewskis translated Qaasims's Macaan iyo Qadhaadh. Bitter and Sweet Consider the aloe - how bitter is its taste! Yet sometimes there wells up a sap so sweet That it seems like honey in your mouth. Side by side the sweet and bitter run Just as they do, my friends, in me, As I switch from sweet to bitter And back to sweet again. My two hands, right and left, are twins. One twin gives food to strangers and to guests, It sustains the weak and guides them. But the other is a slashing, cutting knife - As sharp to the taste as myrrh, As bitter as the aloe. Do not suppose I am the kind of man Who walks along one path, and that path only. I go one way, and seem a reasonable man, I provoke no one, I have the best of natures - I go another, and I'm obstinate and bold, Striking out at others without cause. Sometimes I seem a learned man of God Who retreats in ascetic zeal to a seclude sanctuary - I turn again and I'm a crazy libertine, Sneakily snatching whatever I can get. I am counted as one of the elders of the clan, Esteemed for my wisdom, tact and skill in argument, But within me there dwells a mere townee, too - A no-good layabout he is, at that. I'm a man whose gullet will allow no passage For food that believers are forbidden to eat, And yet I'm a pernicious, hardened thief - The property of even the Prophet himself Would not be safe from me. I have my place among the holy saints, I am one of the foremost of their leaders, But at times I hold high rank in Satan's retinue, And then my lords and masters are the jinns. It's no good trying to weigh me up - I can't be balanced on a pair of scales. From this day to that my very colour changes - Nay, I'm a man whose aspect alters As morning turns to evening And back once more to morning. Muslims and infidels - I know their minds And understand them through and through. "He's ours!" the angels of Hell proclaim of me "No, ours!" the angels of Heaven protest. I have, then, all these striking qualities Which no one can ignore - But who can really know my mind? Only a grey-head who has lived for many days And learned to measure what men are worth. And now, my friends, each man of you - If either of the paths I follow Takes your fancy and delights your heart, Or even if you cannot bear to lose The entertainment I provide, Then come to me along the path - You're free to make a choice! Translated by, B. W. Andrzejewski with Sheila Andrzejewski

I like this bit: "Thank you for your letter of 20 October to the FoLeign Secretary. As the desk officer responsible for Somalia I have been asked to reply ."
