They (3rd world thiefs) will never be caught, neither do the western authorities want to catch them. Who do they most plunder their resources? Their land and peoples'. Actually, they are an asset to exploit at will and very reasonable price at that. If you are thinking what I'm thinking! Particularly, if they're posited at a sensitive position

Nasir Horta thank you for the effort and the info. If you're genuinely serious about getting people in our community to unlock their investment potential and gain from this as others are doing, you need to raise the game, I.e., our people have trust issue, a huge one. You need to get practical examples of your nearest and dearest mining/minting this Fintech gold rush to show as an irrefutable evidence. Waa iga talo. However, this is not related, but the cynic in me says, 'you have been sent by 'sharks' to introduce this to your community and in the process plunge their meager savings with a promise of making more dough! That's cynic talking. If you are serious start with your kin, and bring that out to the doubters, my advice.

'White Somalis'

The impact of unfettered privatization will only harbor future societal issues.

Nin British ah baa waxaa laga sheega, "I disagree everything you say, but I will die for the right for you to say it". Ma dhici kartaa in dadkeenu - Soomaali - ay xumaanta iyo wanaaga kooda ah iyo kan kaleetaba arkaan ee aanay noqon kuwa aan arkin xumaanta kooda ee arka xumaanta ka kale? And while you are at it, kuwa xaqqa u istaaga ee aan hal meel wax ka arag. Hadaan anigu dhibkayga uun arko, oo aanan wax tixgelin ah siin ka kan kale, meel gaari meyno. Waxaana taa oo dhan kasii muhiimsan inaan wixii tagey iska ilowno, ileen awal baa horey loo yiri, 'tiigsi maleh'e'.

Uplifting stuff from a young, African American Harvard graduate. Indeed, we were born to be comets rather commoners. Enjoy it. Graduation ceremony speech

Xikmadda tiraahda, 'dad iyo hogaamiyeyaashood waa Isu qalmaan'. I don't know if Somalis realize their hypocrisy. They would condemn the wrong doing but at the same support it.

maxad iyaga ka sheegi, hadaad ka guursato qabiilada Somaliyed qaarkood, bulshada iska dhaafe, Reer kaagaa ku takooraya, marka carabta intooda badan aan il baxaaha ahayn yaan farta lagu fiiqin. Anigu, Allaa runta jecel'e, gabdhaha Somaliyed ma jecli iney shisheeye guursadaan. Then again, dad sidii dhimbil dab u firirey, cid walbaa ugaarsaneysa.

Ha karaamo seegina Habaar laygu kari waaye Habaar maaha, gacan qaad bay maraysee, waa haddii warbixinta Geedi sax tahay. Aniga aragtidayda, 'stick' wax un bey haleyneysaa maahine, wax hagaajin meyso. Maybe, try and isolate the groups that want the 'un-attainable' dream and bring in those who would support 'unity'. Maybe show symbolic moves of brotherhood with the North, rather than a threat of violence. Don't we ever learn from our recent past? Violence will only breed violence. Tan shacabka iyo Dhalinta, it is only a case of 'whoever is going out with Mommy is my uncle'. It's true that people are tired of the mindless violence, but they would praise whoever is in charge. Wallaahi, this country is let down by its educated young. With oomph this group can change the narrative, and pick the baton where SYL left it. P

Minister stood on his ground, but the RT = Russian state propaganda was having a dig at the western involvement in the country. U.S boots in the ground,IMF funding, why not Brics investment. I think he's from north, right? And the statement, 'we're one people, and we'll stay united' was wonderful comeback.

^great grand-father was Turkish, Kemal Mustafa or something like that which was anglicized as Wilfred Johnson. He doesn't deny it, and he himself was supporting Istanbul's recent unsuccessful bid for 2020 Olympics due to his ancestral connection to Turkey. He was born in America while his father was studying there, that is the only American connection. Khan, on the other hand, is shrewd politician, and ambitious one at that. However, I have heard people in his constituency say good things about him. We shall see what he's like now that he's the mayor. I think this guy will have a go at running for labour's leadership at some point, and consequently the Premiership, whether he be successful, we shall see.

Wow, that is a first in the recent Somali history.

That's quite a balsy statement. Human emotions are very complicated. People come in different mentalities and what you said up there maybe true for some, but not for others. As believing people in the west, and the fact that we don't have systems and ways to determine the suitability of the opposite sex, and please let me expand on this, the reality is we're not hopefully going to opt for cohabitation, we must use our better decision making organ when it comes to matters of relationship.

Mioew! Take it easy. I was talking generally. Besides It might have been three months but she could still be expecting, knowingly or unknowingly. Besides, this new age crap with the assumption that the grass is always greener on the other side is rubbishy. Families should stick together unless there is a very good reason why they should part ways. Don't live in dogma diatribe is shyt to put it politely. Jobs himself didn't blv it, heck as he was giving that damn speech it is said that he was lying about his health. Live in the real world, a world of give and take.

That saying of Jobs is not always true. There are times that you need to consider the bigger picture, and there are issues that are far more important and require one to put up with than simply following your intuition. If you got kids with the man, he doesn't mistreat the women and looks after them, isn't it worth considering the family unit than being effing selfish?

Harvard educated leader You can graduate from the best uni in the world, but if your mindset doesn't change, the tag won't do shyt! Mr Obama graduated from the same uni, and went on to lead a world superpower! As it happens, sheekaba sheekey keentaaye, I was watching the new doc 'Obama in the White House' series by the BBC, and I have new found respect for this guy's brute intellect and skills. E.g, students activists from 'black lives matter' met him, and instead of getting emotional, he just told them to play the long term game as the 'arch of history edges to justice' in the long run. I guess you don't make it that far unless you have got it.

Suck it up, unless of course you don't have kids or aren't expecting.

And we are the effing commentators watching their country and people raped and humiliated. I wish that we could garner the same spirit as those of who fought and died for our short lived freedom

Waxay I xasuusisay, 'amxaaradaa ka walac walac siineysoo, Soomaaliday ku xumeyneydaa' Could this be Ethiopia's fault?

Last night I was watching TED video of a man, a black man called Adam Foss, I think. He is persecutor in Boston. From inside he saw that as a man of color the justice system is not working properly or being fair to people of color, so he took upon himself to start making the change it needs and he somewhat managed. Why am I telling this? Well, we, most of us, want to see things change for the better, but most of us are sitting comfortably in another man's land (adopted homes) and wishing this and that! I am not pointing any fingers, but unless we start action-ing our thoughts, nothing will change. It needs our time, blood and effort to kick start the change we would like to see.
