Guys Can someone tell me if there is anything to really celebrate for at this moment in time???

Happy Independence day, Libaax & Baashi, is this the BASH Somaliland week. But more on the day itself.......Can someone tell me if there is anything to really celebrate for at this moment in time???

Shaqsi Let me say this a hypothetical question since I don't seem to be seeing what you said.The warlords and their 400 stooges are the ones running the show.They are the ones who are taking care of business.Are they they becoming more powerful......I would say yes because there is absolutely no one coming forward to challenge them or their stooges. You see Shaqsi I have come to notice in the last 12 years or so that Mogadisho has been in chaos,every "PEACE CONFERENCE" a new warlord emerges adding to the misery of the common Somali.Pre Carta meeting Baidoa was relatively a peaceful city recovering from the famine and destruction Aideed inflicted upon it.Then comes Carta and where we had 1 warlord emerges 2 new ones.Look at Puntland,we had A.Yusuf before Carta, following Carta out of nowhere comes Jama Ali Jama.This makes me wonder with every peace conference are we going to see new warlords emerge or will there be peace?Will we regret that Somalis even made an attempt to reconcile but end up with more problems then they had before.

Ameeneh said He is a Hargiesa native, he has the right to live in his home town regardless of wether he likes Somaliland or not .. just like a Brit has the right to live in London despite having anti-monarchy sentiments. Ameeneh, Jama Yare has only lived in Somaliland for only a period of 1 year in 1994 since 1965.The time he was there he has been held responsible for formenting the war that took place then between his clan and the government.Do I want him back to create another unrest especially in light of how the current government lacks the wisdom and political savviness of Ina Egal.....the answer is a BIG NO.I am sure he will not miss Hargeisa and I know for real that a lot of people will not miss him.

Originally posted by Ameenah: quote:Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: Ameenah, dear that is the here and now. Not in 1996, but 2003. So is now Somalia ready for unity? Have the policies been decided, are we done with the war lords? is Somalia now in a position to make promises of peace and stability to all the respective regions.....? or are we just campaigning for the idea because it sounds good? See at least, the Landers are following through their ideologies. They want recognition and they are working for it. So, wether their wordings appeal to you or not walaalo the action and will is there. You got to respect that. very well said Ameeneh Thank you

Ameeneh I absolutely agree with your point there that people are too lenient with UBUD but that should not construed to mean that their policies will always be accepted.On the issue of Tuur from what I know he actually requested amnesty from the Somaliland government prior to coming to Hargeysa.He has never publicly claimed to represent Somaliland in any of the gazzilion meetings that the Southern warlords have had.He was above all that but Jama Yare is taking part in the meeting thats taking place as we speak in kenya and in every forum he participated in he showed his dislike for Somaliland and its leaders and above all for the people.Simply put Jama Yare is trouble,keeping him away actually does Somaliland good.

People I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just called a friend in Hargeisa tonight and he said that the clan of Jama Yare have vowed to start a war unless his deportation order is rescinded by the President.They have mobilized around 3,000 men south of Hargeisa and have given the president 36 hours. The government on the other hand seem to be sticking to their guns and have sent the army into a full state of emergency.Hargeisa feels like a ghost town with everyone staying indoors.Allow sahal but this seems like another war for Somaliland.The trip Jama Yare made I guess was a ploy to incite war.

Ameeneh Siyaad never deported anyone,he shot most of them point blank or sentenced the lucky ones to life imprisonment.Warlords roaming around in Somalia are copycats of that legacy. Take the case of Somalilanad's nearest neighbour Abdillahi Yusuf,he will arrange a nasty demise(sic) if you oppose his ways but I guess some people here are more interested in other people's issues while hoping their own problems will fade away with the magic wand of a foreign nation.Keep talking human rights and freedom of speech when none of you can practice that in your own area. I guess thats the price Somaliland has to pay for giving its citizens peace in an area where the word in itself has been forgotten for the past 12 years.

I think you all are making a mountain out of a molehill.I think you all need to hear Jama Yare's interview on BBC before you start accusing the somaliland government.The man clearly states his dislike of authority and the government in Somaliland.There is a written law in Somaliland and if you do not recognise that law you are better off not visiting where that law is practised.This has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech since there are a million people who exercise that in Somaliland today contrary to what some of you might wish to portray. To end this on lighter note if Jama Yare would have landed lets say for the sake of argument in Garoowe or Baidoa or even Mogadisho knowing his convictions would he be deported or would he meet some other fate????

Libaax said On a lighter note, doesn't OGADEN have a sizesable Somaliland population? [smile] I am beginning to think Lynx's comment wasn't an outright qabiil attack. Thank you....People stop being cry babies.

LOL@ThuG-Killer-BEAST-Rap Guru.....I gave it a thought on which group to join markaas waxaan iskugu biyo shubtey Teenska.Wadaada waan eegey too many rules,women section jiljileec badan aan u taag hayn...Markaas I thought teens section isku qari.Maanta laga bilaabo arrinkeeygu waa YO iyo Wazzup DAWG.Nicknamekuna 50 Dimes(I thought of 50 cents laakin I thought too little) Dee odayasha soo hadhow waa bal meel uun iskugu biyo shunbta oo nala soo socod siiyaa haddi kheyr ku jiro.

Funny and creative......I will try them on them on the Muxajabas.

Waryaadhaheen dee mamulku ma odhan aamus ee is ixtraama buu yidhi.Amarku markuu dhaceybaa qof kastaa dabaduu xaska geliyey.....LOL Somalis will be Malis.Malaha baqdiin baad wax ku leedahiin Anyways I happen to notice dadkii Politics section ku doodi jirey some are now posting in the women section,I believe appealing to their femimine side, while others were spotted in the teens section sporting a P diddy outfit and couple of bling blings(yaan laga garan), and a few others have gone religious abandoned the jeans for a Khamiis and threw out their shaving kits,favorite hangout religion section. It seems now after a few heads were sent rolling most people actually look up certain words in the dictionary for fear that it might have another meaning that could be construed as an insult rather than a compliment...Well what can I say, I heard now that more girls are celebrating since they finally seem to get the attention they so craved for so long. As for me dee maxaa ragga iga reebaya meesha loo jabaan ayaan u raaci.

Funny how some of the girls chose CHEAT as #1 thing not to do.I always thought that that was the cardinal rule when married and it was always a given thing.Well again in this age and time I might be wrong but if I ask my wife the question what will you never do to me and she says cheat on you......I am walking away,why you may ask, because if that word is in her vocab then its in her blood too.

Surprised that some people here find original Somali names "revolting". I personally think they are beautiful.

I just don't understand ragga maanta.Education bey idinka wada dhagtey.Nobody seems to notice that she's also pretty

I didn't know whether I should put these in the jokes section or not but it seems like Cabdi Cali kasta is now calling himself Madaxweyne....I am now seriously considering running for the post myself.I have sent an exploratory Committe(made up of 2 Xalimos and a farax mirqaansan) and will carefully examine their results when they report back to me.Stay tuned for more Gediid ================================================== Cabdalla Deerow oo maanta loo caleemo-saaray xilkii Cabdilqaasim Salaad Xasan (16-June-2003 Guddoomiyaha Baarlamaanka KMG ah, Cabdalla Deerow ***** , waxa uu maanta ku dhawaaqay inuu xilkii ka xayuubiyey Cabdilqaasim Salaad Xasan-Yare Jimcaale, kaddib markii ay 57 xildhibaan u soo gudbiyeen motion lid ku ah Madaxweynaha. Deerow, waxa uu tilmaamay wixii maanta ka billowda inuu yahay Madaxweynaha KMG ah. Waxa uu xusay inuu jagadan sii hayn doono muddo 30 cisho ah, sida uu qeexayey distoorkii 1960-kii, illaa lagaga dooranayo shirka Madaxweyne cusub. Guddoomiyaha Baarlamaanku, waxa uu yiri “aniga ayaa kala wareegay xilka Cabdilqaasim Salaad, markaan arkay inuu ku tuntay axdiga KMG ah.” Mar aan weydiiyey waxa keenay in xilka halkan lagaga dhigo Madaxweynaha oo lagaga dhigi waayey Muqdisho, waxa uu qiray in Cabdilqaasim uu wato 30 iyo dhowr tikniko. “Wax lid ku ah Cabdilqaasim Salaad Xasan lagama sameyn karo Muqdisho” ayuu yiri. Cabdalla Deerow, waxa uu tusaale u soo qaatay sidii bareerka ahayd ee Cabdilqaasim Salaad uu u argagax-geliyey Guddoomiyihii Maxkamadda Sare. “Cabdilqaasim wuxuu baa bi’iyey sharcigii uu Madaxweynaha ku ahaa iyo garsoorkii [judiciary], wuxuuna sameystay Wasiir maaliyad oo jeebkiisa ah” ayuu yiri. Deerow, waxa uu hoosta ka xarriiqay in Cabdilqaasim lala ayaansan doono sharciga, lana horgeyn doono Maxkamad distoori ah. Waxa uu weydiistay Mareykanka iyo Midowga Yurub inay taageeraan. “Xukun doon ma ahi, mana is magacaabin, waxaana sii haynayaa xilka inta Madaxweyne laga dooranayo” ayuu yiri. Motion-ka waxaa xubnaha Golaha Baarlamaanka ee ku sugan Mbagathi ka hor akhriyey Xildhibaan Ibraahim ***** Yarow. Maxamed Warsame Cali oo ka hadlay munaasabaddaas, waxa uu tibaaxay in kooxo la soo shaqeystay Maxamed Siyaad ay ku celcelinayaan mar walba Somaliland shirka ha timaado. “Kuwaasi waa kuwii Somaliland ay ka go’day, waana ceeb inay maalin kasta Somaliland ku hadal-qabsadaan” ayuu yiri. Xildhibaan Tahliil Maxamed ayaa isna ka codsaday dowladda Kenya inaysan xasanaad Madaxweyne siinin Cabdilqaasim Salaad Xasan, waayo waa dambiile ayuu yiri. “Hadduu yimaaddo waa inuu ergooyinka caadiga ah ka mid noqdaa” ayuu sii raaciyey. Xildhibaanku, waxa uu sheegay in burburka iyo kala firxadka TNG uu sabab u yahay Madaxweynahooda. “Cabdilqaasim wuxuu cuuryaamiyey shaqadii dowladdu qaban lahayd, mana fulinin ballan-qaadyadii Carta lagaga soo doortay” ayuu yiri. Xildhibaan Saalax Nuux Ismaaciil (Badbaado) oo xafladda xiriirinayey waxa uu yiri “waxay maraysaa xisaabi xil ma leh.” Waxa uu sheegay in xeer hoosaadkii Golaha Baarlamaanku uu lumay. “Xildhibaan Xamar jooga ayaa xilkii laga qaadayaa oo la leeyahay waa Ethiopian” ayuu yiri. Xildhibaan Khaliif Jire Warfaa, waxa uu ka dalbaday dadweynaha Soomaalida meel ay joogaanba inay cafiyaan. “Wuxuu Cabdilqaasim Salaad ku dhaqmayo laba sano baan qarinaynay” ayuu yiri. “Sharcigii uu madaxda ku ahaa ayuu halleeyey, qaarna waa rumeeyey, qaarna waa diiday” ayuu sii daba dhigay. Munaasabadda caleemo-saarka Deerow inta aysan furmin, waxaa ka dhex qayliyey Maxamed Meydhane Buraale oo ka tirsan TNG, kana mid ah dadka taageersan Cabdilqaasim Salaad Xasan oo yiri “Magaca TNG cid kasta kuma hadli karto.” Kaddib ciidamo police ah oo Kenya u dhashay ayaa shirka ka saaray.

Dhegaysayaashayada dalbaha lehow, waxaynu soo gaadhnay xilligii aan idinku gadhqaban jiray wararkii adduunyada, waxaana manta la macaansan doona Weriye Mr. Dhuungal dhoodi galaal. Isagii oo afka ka xunbaynaya Shirkii Kiiniya ee lagu ruquusayay arrinta Soomaaliya, Baaq dhawaan laga soo saaray ayaa lagu dalbaday doob-guuno Caalami ah oo camcaminta la sii wada. Doob-guunadaas oo ay ka dalbadeen wadanka cabiidka xooga weyn ee Maraykanka iyo kuwa yurubta degdegga u maaxday. Waxa kaloo shirkaasi u gacan haadiyay nimanka maasida lagu sheego. Wadankaas oo lagu xanto in ay yihiin furuukh ka hadhay faraacidii hore, kaas oo siyaasad ahaan Afrikana ka tegay, Yurubna ka yaraaday, carabna ka caalwaayay, kaas oo ka mid ah Haadda Soomaalida cunta. Ergiga reer Sawaaxili, Ambasaar Kildhigaan oo dawladda Kiiniya u xilsaartay shirkaas Soomaalida budusha ka dhigo oo kooxahaas ururay kurkooda dawlad ka sameeyo. Mr. Kildhigaal, ayaa sheegay in haatan qorshayaashii shirkaas badankoodii uu gorofta ka dhigay oo ay sameeyeen kabihii iyo dharkii ay xidhan lahayd dawladda Soomaaliya dib loogu samayn lahaa. Lebiska uu sheegay in loo sii tolay bahashaas, waxa ka mid ah: Distoor la sheegay in laga soo xigtay diinta reer galbeedka ee dimuqrada la yidhaa oo leh Gambada madaxkuus barjin rayiisal waaro iyo laba jaajuur oo rayiisle ku xigeeno ah, laba gole, sida shankaroonta laga eegtay, midna Baarlamaan noqon doono, midna Guurti istayl loo rabo. Waxa kale oo uu sheegay in shirku sameeyay kayshaligii dawladaasi xidhan lahayd iyo muraaqibkii Taliyaha qaybtaba. Inkasta oo aan la ogayn inuu leekaan doono iyo in kale. Shirkaasi oo in dhaweydba ay is xariifin kaga maqnaayeen qaar ka mid ah. Bahasha ku meelgaadhka ah ayaa lagu soo waramay ogolaadaan shirkaas, kuwaas oo qaar xamar cadho la joogaan, qaar shirka u calaf doonteen. Hogaamiyaha bahasha ku meelgaadhka ah Jaalle Cabdi Qasab oo shalayto ka tawtaw lahaa BBC-da ayaa yidhi; “Hadee bahashanagii waa ogolnahay shirka kiiniya, Baarlamaankanagiina hadee waa ansixiyay, aniguna hadaan gaadhi isii qaada helo waan tegi doonaa.” Isagoo ka jawaabaya inuu iska sharaxayo, wuxuu yidhi; “Hadee naftayda uma war hayo.” Mar la waydiiyay waxyaabihii ay qabteen, wuxuu yidhi; “Wayaalo badan baanu qabanay, waxaanu u yeedhyeedhnay Soomaaliya, waxaanu ku guulaysanay inaanu hudheel seexano, waxa kaloonu ku guulaysanay in BBC-du na waraysato, Xasan Bariislana dhanka kale naga eego, in aanu u baala-xooftayno dawladaha Soomaaliya kala goynaya iyo inaanu ********ta ka baqano oo aanu Somaliland gobol ku sheegno.” Si kasta ha ahaatee, shirka camcamintiisa lagu raagay inuu ka soo raynayo halkii bishii hore, balse habar boqol iyo saddex jir ah ayaa sheegtay in aan weli la gaadhin halkii kala siiban jirtay, taas oo tidhi; “Tallada Soomaaliyeed weligeedba waxay kala dhacdaa marka la gaadho dekedda doorashada, wedka dilaana waxa weeye bahalka Madaxweynaha la yidhaa, kaas baa Soomaali qayrkeed ka reebay ee kabaalkii jabkaas waxaan odhan lahaa yaan laba samayn.” Waxa kale oo ay intaa ku dartay, kursigaas Madaxweynaha in ay u sharaxan yihiin dhammaan intii shirka ka qaybgashay oo gaadhaysa sagaal boqol oo qof oo laba boqol habro yihiin, boqolna riyo yihiin oo mid waliba keligii qabiil yahay. Haddii mid la doorto bay tidhi, inta kale waxay noqonayaan hogaamiye kooxoodyo ka hor jeeda, markaa balaayaba Soomaaliya waxay ka maqan tahay intaan Madaxweyne la dooran ee shirka lagu jiro. Dawladda Kiiniya oo markii u horeysay ee ay qaadato mashruucan Soomaali ka ganacsiga ah, ilaa haddana lama oga in ay ka soo baxayso dawladda laabta uun laga jeclaaday ee meel ay ka jirtana aanay garanayn iyo inuu soo kordhin doono koox cusub oo ku hadasha Habaariyaako.

LOL Bazuuka...Same wine in a different bottle..Sounds like someone is back.

Darwish said Look at these folks arguing out of their breath, if Somaliland (Togdheer and Waqoye Gelbeed) want to break away from the vast land the rest Somalia is then hey that is their choice though we shall be left without singers — what a forbidding prospect. Walee waa aduun waashey.We have been branded everything from traitor to vermin and now a singer.A mere singer.Should I be mad,start a tit for tat name calling session with Darwiish.The answer is MAYA, why because hore ayey Somali tidhi Nin wax ku dhaama cey nin kaa liitana dhowr.Markaa saaxiib weligeedba rag wey isku daba dayen jireen laakin XaashaLilaah hinaaasi rag lagu ma yaqaan.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Thats one overused scam.I get 10 emails a week like that.One morning after I got into work my boss calls me upto his office.I thought well maybe he just found out how I spend all day looking at Somali websites and that I was in for a reprimind.Well to my surprise he told he just got an email on behalf of Sani Abacha's wife,you know the wife of the late Nigerian president.But what I would love to know is how many people actually buy that bull?

Here is an article from Somaliland Times about the new Riyaale cabinet. Somaliland Times

Illmatic said Yeah, i like the Harmonizaion committee's charter, but i have a hanch the leadership one will be adapted because the worldlords are freaken powerfull and they have the backin of kufr Ethopia Question: What's Kenya,aren't they KUFRS as well.I bet there are more Muslim Ethiopians then Muslim Kenyans.Anyways thats not my whole point but in case you wondering both nations are different sides of the same coin.They both have "plans".

Kaafi the reason why they have this because they leave home at 18 never to return unless by appointment.Then when the old folks started turning old they drop them off in a nursing home and count the days before they die.Now tell me if thats your plans or if you feel thats how you wanna treat your folks.
