as che has predicted, the complaints from the three debbie downers here: africaown, xunduf and saalax boils down to the city of ceerigaabo. Africa said I am closer to to sanaag then you because our shaikh is buried there. this is one of the most ignorant things i have heard on this from. Which Somali clans shaikh is not buried there? if this is the criteria of sanaags ownership then people in Gedo have a better claim becuase their shaikh was buried there first. Xaji said why did the SSC side not present case in a SNM meeting in Ceerigaabo, really, seriously...in scc should have voiced their side of the issue in a "SNM" meeting. in these statements you both display a great lack of knowledge about that region. Saalax goes one to make the most absurd with his ssc makes up 3 percent of ceerigaabo. look, I too can say SNM makes up .2 percent of the population of ceerigaabo but that wouldn't make it true would it? wither its two percent or three does not matter, whatever it is, belongs to scc. surely if there is hope for the jews and the arabs to share jerusalam one day, Somalis can share a city in sanaag. Lastly, this none sense about who owns sanaag because so and so is buried there or whatever, the truth of the matter is that if it should belong to one people its the real rer sanaag, the maakhiri people because they own more land in that state then both somalilanders and ssc combined. SCC+Somaliland= about about seven villages and a neighborhood of ceerigaabo. Maakhir= several towns and countless villages and that is the truth. go back up the mountains from which you came from landers and stop harassing people...

waxba kama galin Jacaylbarow, waa sir ssc ka dexeysa. taleexi welcome to the ship of ex-puntlanders. best of luck to the maakhirites though.

I once went to a mosque where a Somali imaam called a white muslim gaal because of course the man was white lol. Sometimes the mentality of fellow Somalis disturbs but the this perv a-nijaad has the gall to lecture other about xalaal relationship...

To the OP, thanks for posting this and keep up the good work. All these people are inspirational to any somali with an inkling of interest in the arts. Personally, N.Farah sow me through high school which gave as a monthly budget to buy books and I can assure the bulk of them were either dickins or farah or arundhati roy, am glad to have and continue to support this intelligent author. as for abdi farah, I went to my family house to cheer him up and could hardly believe he won that show, good luck to him, he has a lot of talent and many years to go inshallah. as for the pessimist, haters gonna hate. what they don't understand is that their is no trail run in life, we must live to the best of it and pursue as best as we see fit. As observers, we can criticize their work but not their live decisions, to each his own, even the quran says "lakum deenukum wa liya deen"...

Nur's disagreement with Sufism= non muslims like it loooooooool

this is not hard to understand, shariif hassan undermined abdullahi and now is trying to do the same with the Good shaikh. How soon we forgot though that the shaikh was in bed with this opportunistic speaker of parliament when he undermined President Yusuf while most Somalis rather then support principals succumbed to the Shaikh Shariif personality cult. The Shaikh is serving out Ysusf's term and its his right to defend that but this "am gonna vote myself into another two years" non sense is something new.

they don't need another reconciliation meeting that results another transitional whatever, they need to hold elections where ever possible for the all the branches and an independent supreme court that insures the constitution (whichever one) is followed.

no is not what the media always focuses on, it what the sick twisted minds of those who oppress other in the name of religion focus on along with wither or not woman can wear kensheli lol. FYI, there would be no need for Sharia or an islamic government if everyone believed in it in a supposedly 100% muslim country. What we should suggest is a voluntary self application of Sharia I.e secularism lol

1. sharif can say whatever he wants but other stake holders within the TFIs wont agree with him, there will be division and a need for yet another reconciliation conference like Somalis have been doing for nearly twenty years of transition. 2. This is just a silly question, why would anyone let alone the UN fund a government whose idea of Islamic government is wax madaxa laga gooyo iyo gacmo laga jaro not to mention there is no such thing as a islamic government outside the heads of lunatics like the shabaab, taliban and osama.

^Dr. Hawa is more deserving then all the people mentioned combined. She is the only one with a track record of self sacrifice and helping Somali IDPs

I Have done something in my short tenure is the go to excuse of every dictator

Not that Somalis have any say over this but they should not accept term extensions either. Accept it know, and it will be harder to get rid of poor leadership later on. What I don't get is, with his recent success against the shabaab, why is shariif scared to contest an election, direct or indirect? This a is a foolish move nairobi conference or no conference.

lol @ little smirk of victory at the end but don't they give these away at conferences anyway?

lol @ taking crazy people to court.

loooooool, next thread shirts shirts shirts!

A Somali city with paved roads, thank the lord, lol. I've clearly not seen all of Somalia but I would vote the city planners in Garowe to be the best in Somalia. Hope they keep up the good work.

wheres the pictures xaji, lol

Skinny ties and cardigans are a great style to me but those desert boots should be thrown out. my humble opinion is jeans look better with boots and slacks driving loafers or simple dress shoes.

Malika, no truer words have been spoken, lol, what is galkacyo to this guy wither its at peace or not

lol this is what you call circular lagic saalax. something exist, how do I know it exist, I say it exist. For all anyone cares, you can name north western sanaag and the neighborhood of ceerigaabo that belongs to you whatever you like and name however many big beards as mayors as you would like but reality is different.

your fighting a non-existing group in cayn?

^^ this list is tad melodramati, the real one is this: awdal Somaliland SSC Puntland (I think Maakhir and not Maakhirland as you put it is still part of puntland) Galmudug Shabaab TFG Azania

well the people who would have brought you those pics have been arrested

Awdal State Hanoolato, wish them all the luck
