I hope their wont be any oil drilling in Somaliland, atleast for the coming decade.

Maxaaad la qoslisaa?

I do love jaad, khat, miraa, hagigat, ghat, chad, chat, jaad, gat, qat, jaat, quat, call it how ever you want it. I am loving it. At least I admit it, and I am not feeling a shamed of it. Unfortuantly I havent chewed in 1 year due to the criminalization of jaad by the authorities here. But I do have good memories on my last murqaam and oow boy I was off the hook. Lucky for me, I will be visiting the UK for next month. I assume there is plenty of jaad for me there. So which respectable and true Somali here on SOL will invite me for a real Somali traditional session of sheeko, shaah iyo jaad chewing?

Welcome to the Sheeko, shah and jaad chewing thread. This thread is only for men, ladies who chew are not allowed in this section. There is another thread for ladies where there is even shah and cakes. Here you can freely share all your murqaam stories.

This article raises so many relevant questions. -What is SCC? -And how come one clan inhabiting 2 'northern' regions is abducting 4 other clans living in 4 other northern regions(Awdal, Cayn,Sool and Sanaag? While the 4 unity seeking regions are more populated. -And is Ali Khaliif Galeydh a closet secessionist or Silaanyo a closet Federalist?

Signorina Somalina, se si può cucinare per me, farò di te una probosal matrimonio. E allora io vestire la maglia che mi vuoi indossare. Se ti piace, non vorrei nemmeno indossare una camicia.

Well I do love maraq bilaash with muufo baraawe. If you could make that for me, I would surrender to you anytime. But I dont think that would impress Al Shabaab. I was thinking of something else, like an idea that could win the harts and minds of the people, so they would choose and support the TFG over Al Shabaab.

Somalina protects Shariif like a female Panthera leo protecting her cubs from hungry hyena's. I respect that.

Saraakiisha kale ee u shaqeysey MSB, waxa keliya looga baahan yahay waa xirfadooda which is vital in defeating the kebabis. All the best to them. Somalina, do you think Al Shabaab can only be beaten with military skills?

The Zack;687982 wrote: Qodax, actually I have heard that there are some talks going on in Djibouti and the US, the UN, and the EU along with the AU are planning to name Siilaanyo as a president of the country and Faroole as a prime minister and move the capital to Hargeisa temporarily. The plan is to create a unified and strong government in the north and its suroundings. Once a very strong military of Somalia is created, there would be a cirka and dhulka attack to the south, town by town. Zack, the talks have been going on the last year. But these talks are not about forming a new central goverment for Somalia. But its rather a bottom-up dialogue in order to create a coalition of Somalia's regions and entities (Puntand, Galmudug, Galguduud,Gedo forces in Ethiopia and Kenya, etc) and who together with Somaliland forces will free Somalia from Al-Shabaab. The biggest issue is not the military effort to enter Somalia or fight Al Shabaab, this wont be the biggest obstacle. The issue is how to gain the harts and minds of the locals and therefore their support. And for this an alternative idea to the one Al Shabaab has to be presented to them. In order to do this local and regional authorities and the rule of law have to be established by and for the locals, supported by the diaspora communities. This is the reason why diffrent diaspora communities have taken the iniative and already started creating own regional and local's State's(Hiiraan,Gego,Galmudug,Galguduud, Waax iyo Waaxdi,Jubbalandetc). So they can already start to asses the local needs, and can start to engage dialogue with local population and come to common grounds. This is the direction the talks are heading to. It will be a long road and it wont be easy. But the involvement of every single Somali is needed to make it a succes. The future of the Somali is not something we can leave to a single man or a group of self appointed Ministers.

Wee duushoo, oo daruuraha dhaaftay.

I like that image. Proofs you that no border is sacred, even not the borders of the mighty country of Sudan.

Well most of them dont have the idea that they or they beloved Kacaas has done anything wrong, and they were always right. So old men who betrayed their country by destroying the country and then running away in tanks wont make any diffrence. They havent made a diffrence back then when they were running away and today they wont make a diffrence running away from US courts to Muqdishu.

Wasiirka Warfaafinta ee Koonfurta Sudan waxa kale oo uu sheegay in ay aad ula socdaan waxyaabaha ka socda Somaliland, isla markaana ay u qalanto in beesha caalamku aqoonsado “Annagu dawlad ahaan waxaanu rumaysanahay in beesha caalamku siiso aqoonsiga ay Somaliland u qalanto, waxbana ka hagran mayno annagu wax walba diyaar ayaanu ula nahay Somaliland” ayuu hadalkiisa raaciyay. Sidoo kale Wasiirka Xidhiidhka Gobolka ee Koonfurta Sudan, ayaa isaguna sheegay inay dawlad ahaan doonayeen ka hor intii aanay aftidu dalkaasi ka qabsoomin inay casuumad u fidiyaan madaxweynaha Somaliland, balse culayska ay leedahay hawlaha aftida ay qaadayaan awgeed aanay taasi suurto gelin. “Waanu la soconaa xaaladda Somaliland, si weyna waanu uga war haynaa, waxaananu doonaynay in aanu casuumad u fidino madaxweynaha Somaliland, balse suurto gal may noqonin, culayska hawlaha aftida ah ee aanu qaadanayno awgeed. Laakiin xilliga natiijadda lagu dhawaaqayo lafteeda waanu ku casuumaynaa” ayuu yidhi, Wasiirka Xidhiidhka Gobolka ee Koonfurta Sudan oo u waramayay weriyaal tiro badan oo ka socday Somaliland ka dib markii Muha Daahir Faarax Jire oo ah Gudoomiyaha ururka ay leeyihiin saxaafadda Qaaradda Afrika balan uga soo qaaday. Wasiirku waxa uu weriyayaasha u sheegay in madaxweynaha Somaliland ay dawlad ahaan casuumad rasmi u soo diri doonaan xilliga natiijadda lagu dhawaaqayo. “Waxa aanu doonaynay in aanu wefti ka socda Koonfurta Sudan u dirno Somaliland, balse suurto gal may noqonin, haddase waxaanu isku dayi doonaa in aanu xafiis ka furano Somaliland, isla markaana aanu xidhiidhkayaga xoojino” ayuu yidhi Wasiirku. Dawladda Koonfurta Sudan dhammaan madaxdeedu ilaa askartu way wada garanayaan Somaliland, ka soo bilaw askariga ilaa iyo madaxda dawladda ugu saraysa way wada yaqaan Somaliland. Wasiirkii hore ee Arrimaha Debada Somaliland ayaa isagu haatan ku sugan magaalada Jubba ee xarunta u ah dawladda Koonfurta Sudan. “Koonfurta Sudan waa dal ay Somaliland waxyaabo badan wadaagaan, isla markaana ay wax badan ay iska metelaan Somaliland, hogaamiyihii hore ee Koonfurta Sudan John Grang-na waxa uu ahaa nin wax badan dadkiisa u soo halgamay, iyada oo ay aan la odhan karin Koonfurta Sudan oo keli ah uma soo halgamin, laakiin wuxuu ahaa geesi cid waliba aqoonsantahay”.

The TFG was initiated, created and funded by the International community(AU,UN,IGAD,US,EU) and only they can pull the plug. Yeey was a puppet but there and dumbed when they were finished with him, sharmaarke boy was put there and fed by the western international community and dumbed. Some Binti's really think that they have say in the affaira of the TFG and wether they can initiate a peace conference. they cant even attend a donor conference. how naive some are.

Since when is the SSC issue an internal clan issue?

Thankful;688072 wrote: You can assume anything you want!, Just don't bash Abdullahi Yusuf for inviting foreigners! Abdullahi Yusuf supported by his some chearleaders here on SOL have brought Ethiopians to Muqdishu who have comitted mass slaughter among civilians, and it took a new goverment, international conferences, UN involvement to make them leave again. For that the Somali people will never forget what he has done to Muqdishu.

Congratulations to South Sudan. From today on they are free and self-determined people.

suashu waxa weeyaan ma nin wadani Somali Ethiopian baad tahay mise nin toolaay ku mucaaridiya? anigu waan kala garan waayay, waxaad tihid.

Another day, another holiday, begging some dollars from Arabs. what kind of diffrence will the next guy make.

tell us what you find interesting? Asking Somaliland goverment and former SNM officers if he can become Foreign Minister of Somalia. this guy has the confidence and self esteem of an ant?

Zack, Sharuuf helping peace in which country? He spends more days in Europe and Arab countries then Somalia, and when he is in Somalia. he never leaves the Villa protected by Ugandese. Did he ever the biggest cities of Somalia, Baidoa, Kismaayo, Galkacyo, marka, Baardhere, etc?

when did Puntland had trust in the TFG? it used the TFG for own purposes and contracts. But never had trust in it. Why else would it divide Galkacyo and Mudug, if they trust Somali's.
