  1. Iranium - documentary (made by war merchants for the next 'you know what')
  2. Yaa MMA, ma maqasha 'la jiifiyaana banaan'. Reer Galbeed waxay qoraan iyo waxay sheegaanba, take it with a barrel of salt. This is the very Norway oo bomb la dhaceysay Libya as part of NAJAASTA NATO for an effective regime change. Korkey subag iska wada marinayaan, hoostana waxay rabaan bey sameynayaan. So, to answer your question, yes, there are two Norway or even more.
  3. The 'resource' wars of Africa have finally reached East Africa... Spot on. It just so happens that this part of the Somali territory is blessed with rich agricultural land and water resources, not to mention other natural resources. However, countries with functioning national gov'ts have been bulldozed by the juggernaut of int'l financiers, Somalia doesn't stand a chance. Mr Prof. may say that he isn't backed by foreign powers to pave the way for some kind resource loot, time will tell.
  4. If this is true, they really had it good. ==== 1.There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens. 2.There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law. 3. Having a home considered a human right in Libya. 4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family. 5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent. 6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms are all for free. 7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance. 8. If a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price. 9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter. 10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally. 11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she is employed, until employment is found. 12. A portion of every Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens. 13. A mother who gives birth to a child receive U.S.$5,000. 14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15. 15. 25 percent of Libyans have a university degree. 16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. Source: disinfo.com
  5. Risk of sounding deluded, "sovereign default" wax la yiraa ma jireen. This is a mirage. Hear me! nothing but a mirage. Big boys (global financiers) are working to own states. This is all part of a big plan. If you think the architects of Global domination are short of dosh, dream on...
  6. Well, this is all falling into West's lap, easily. Explaining myself; revolutions in the muslim world => indepedent elections => Islamists into power => Sharia in direct conflict with the power that be => Conflict with the big boys...........Start all over or worse.
  7. Sharif may not be opposing this for nationalistic reasons One can deduce from this, if it's the case, that he might have agreed to the invasion (waa ba hadii la weydiistay!). Is it going to stoop any lower?
  8. Waxaan kaliya oo ka rajeynayo dhimashada Qadaafi, Saddam, iwm, waa in kaligi-taliyayaasha caalamka Islaamku inay ku waano qaataan oo arkaan in aysan soconeyn in dadka iyo dalka la iska hor fadhiyo oo laga soo qaado sidii guri la leeyahay. Waxaase calool xumo ah ineysan ku waayo aragnimo qaadaneyn.
  9. Haday Nato dishay, dagaalku wuxuu noqon dagaal ay ayagu lahaayeen, iyaguna ninka u dhamaystireen. Wararkii ugu danbeeyey oo ugu macquul sanaa waxay sheegayaan inay Nato tahay, waxa marka hore saaka hawada ka garaacay, deedna dabcan, jamhada ayuu gacanta u gala. Su'aashu hadda waa Liibiya ma ka leexan doontaa wadadii Ciraaq amba wax u dhow ama u eg Ciraaq. Aniga tan ayaan leeyahay. Liibiya xornimo dib ugu laaban mayso. Markay soo jeestaana, iyagaa qabiil qabiil la iskugu jeedinayaa. Taas iyana muday qaadan. Tana iga hoo, wadadii markaa kadibna la marin lahaa waa loo sii fala Liibiya. Qadaafi doqon is mooday inuu dalka leeyahay buu ahaa, waxa maanta dhacayana iyo waxa soo socdana isaga iyo xulufaddiisaa ka mas'uul ah.
  10. Beautifully written piece of work. Can Obama do a Clinton on the side by directly talking to the Palestinian leadership and be frankly frank and say, 'fellas, my hands are tied, sorry. I know what I am doing is not right, but hey, gotta look after the numero uno' or something of that sort.....Enjoy the article. ===== Dear President Obama, Please do not veto hope. You are the one who told us of its audacity. You told us in the General Assembly that this was "a remarkable year" when the world changed - in Cairo and Tunis and Damascus. "The way things have been is not the way they will be," you affirmed. But, apparently this does not apply in Jerusalem. You are still willing to vote against the Arab Spring when it becomes politically inconvenient. I understand your dilemma, of course. Before I had tenure as a law professor, I had to think about the impact anything I said about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict could have on my job security too. A well-intentioned senior colleague told me in no uncertain terms during my first year, "Don't say anything about Israel." That is rather difficult when you teach international law. I had a rule. If I were ever in a position to do the right thing when it could make even a small difference in the real world, I had to do as much of the right thing as I could. You, on the other hand, are now in a position to make a huge difference. I know that you are regularly attacked from the right on the Middle East by many, including Christian evangelicals who do not really care about the future of Israel or Palestine, just about the Israel of their own biblical imaginations, whose people will supposedly not even be saved when Armageddon comes. I know you think that to win in the next election you cannot appear tough on Israel because even when you are soft on Israel they say you are tough on Israel. But, Mr President, as important as your re-election is to the world, as vital as it is that you defeat the host of Republican zombies currently parading from debate to debate and that they not be allowed anywhere near global affairs, there is more at stake here than your job security. If you veto a Palestinian state, an entire generation across the Arab World may give up on the United Nations. They will no longer believe that peaceful change is possible in that venue, at least where the most powerful are concerned. That is what the Palestinians are trying to do here. Change the world without firing a shot. Marshall what you called "the moral force of non-violence". Use the major global forum for the preservation of peace and security to achieve ... peace and security. You keep telling them not to go to the UN. Where do you want them to go, Mr President? There are many worse alternatives. The whole point of the UN is for peoples to have a forum in which to resolve peacefully what the Charter calls "international disputes ... which might lead to a breach of the peace". For the last year I have been working on a book about opponents of fundamentalism and terrorism in Muslim majority contexts. In many of the places I have gone, from Algeria to Pakistan, many of these redoubtable people on the front lines of the struggle against extremism have told me that the perceived justice of Western powers toward Muslim majority populations in places like Palestine is critical to undermining the fundamentalists, who otherwise grab those injustices as a tool for their own disastrous ideological uses. If you veto hope, Mr President, you are also vetoing the liberal, moderate, progressive anti-fundamentalists of Muslim majority societies. You are effectively casting the vote of the United States for fundamentalism, for change through violence, for the idea that Muslims are only victims of a hypocritical West and cannot ever get a fair deal. This can only benefit the camp of people like the now late Anwar al-Awlaki. Prime Minister Netanyahu is not the only one who opposes this Palestinian Authority bid for statehood. So do Hamas and the Ayatollah Khamenei. If you veto, you will be proving them right. The Israeli journalist Anat Saragusti whom I interviewed for my book last winter told me she feels the window of opportunity for a peaceful solution is closing. She said to me flat out, "the US should not oppose the recognition of the Palestinian state. It is better for the interests of Israel as well." If you veto hope, you will be acting not just to squelch Palestinian rights but also against the long-term security of Israel and the United States as well just to win an election. I am literally begging you not to do this. Perhaps Susan Rice could call in sick that day instead. Or maybe you could find the audacity to abstain. Otherwise, the hatred of the United States that you will spawn will have a terribly long half-life, Mr President, much longer than your putative second term. Imagine how Americans would have felt had their independence been blackballed at some 18th century global assembly while they were still striving for it? Had they been told to resolve their problems with the British first before issuing the Declaration of Independence? Of course, I do have to congratulate you Mr. President for managing to give a speech in which you first lauded the international community for supporting the self-determination of South Sudan and then said how irrelevant it would be for the UN to do that same thing in the case of Palestine, without once cracking a smile at the irony of it all. That was a remarkable feat. I am afraid that you overlooked the words of Harold Koh, the Legal Advisor to your own State Department, who wrote back in 2004 while Dean of Yale Law School that "the promotion of double standards is indeed corrosive," as well as "dangerous" and "destructive." That was good advice. This is the same Legal Advisor whose office argued before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the recent case concerning the legality of Kosovo's declaration of independence that because the negotiations between the parties had proven unable to resolve the issue, it was entirely appropriate for Kosovo to have acted unilaterally in declaring its independence, and that the ICJ should not rule in a way that would undermine that move. "[T]he situation fundamentally changed once it became clear that a negotiated resolution of the future status of Kosovo was no longer feasible and the negotiating process had been exhausted." In a July 2010 briefing welcoming the ICJ decision in the case, Legal Advisor Koh said that "[w]hat had happened here is that Kosovo had declared independence - that the fact of that independence has become a political reality ... [T]he International Court of Justice ... attempted to cap the legal doubt on that independence ... and now it's returned to the situation that it was in before, which is how to move forward..." There were no calls for restarting bilateral talks between Serbia and Kosovo. There was no suggestion that such decisions of international bodies are irrelevant to what happens on the ground because Serbia and Russia had not agreed. Despite all of this, when you spoke to the General Assembly a few weeks ago about the Middle East and said that "we will only succeed if we encourage the parties to sit down together", you seemed to believe what you were saying. That it is all just a question of a mistaken forum. The Palestinian President did not get the memo about where to stand in line. I wish you could admit that the position you are taking for a theoretical Palestinian state, just not this way or now or any time soon through any means that could actually work, but instead through hewing to a process that has not produced one in twenty years while more settlements are built making it less possible, is actually a position against a Palestinian state. You were for it before you were against it. I realise that you are only trying to get tenure, Mr. President, which I now have, and that you did not create the ridiculous political quagmire we now find ourselves in wherein people like Rick Perry who know nothing about the needs of the people of the Middle East impact our policy toward them. We can hope, audaciously or not, that if you do get a second term, you will become like a newly tenured professor who says what she wants to, maybe even about the Middle East. After all, I can write you this letter now. But, by then, Mr. President, you may have made the situation unsalvageable with an unforgivable veto. During the presidency of George W Bush, a friend gave me "The American Traveller Apology T-Shirt" which basically says "I am sorry for the policies of my president" in all official UN languages. One really needed it in those days to be able to leave the country and hold one's head up. I put it away the day you were elected. Please do not make me have to get the T-shirt out again. I voted for you with great hope. Many around the world voted for you with their hearts. I still believe you must know that what you are doing here is wrong when you pledge to veto the inclusion of a small state whose people yearn for the universal rights for which you said the United States would always stand. I implore you to act on that belief and change course before it is too late for a two state solution, too late for a better future for Palestinians and Israelis. The younger generation across the Middle East and North Africa has spent this year putting their lives on the line to challenge the politics of the possible. They do not deserve to hear the President of Yes-We-Can, in whom they once believed, say to the Palestinians, "No-You-Can't, not here, not now, not you."

  11. Qeybtii 1aad. Digniin: dayac iyo qalbi xumo dadka Soomaaliyeed heysata hadaanad u dulqaadan karin, ha daawan.
  12. Amiin wuxuu og yahay baan u malayn waxaynu ogeyn. Fikradihiisu riyo kama yimaadaan. Mar uu ka hadlayey shaqadiisa ayuu yiri, " mar walba qoloda qaldan ee aan farta ku fiiqii ima jecla. Qoladaasi iyaga markaa ku kacsanina waxay i yiraahdaan waa saxan yahay. Markaan kuwaa laftigooda wax ka sawiraana fartay igu fiiqaan". Waa dhun-dhun xaalku.
  13. Audi is the best car ever made. Period. Check out the A1 for everything the cumbersome Mini doesn't have. Comfort, ease of drive, state of the art interior and absolute mini skeleton, people. This car and manufacture are a dream
  14. W*nkers for delegates. That is what you get when you send such ****** as diplomats. No understanding of diplomacy. Time for us lot to a hand an electronic petition to the Iranian foreign ministry to apologise for their disgraceful act, seriously, people.
  15. Former Somali footballer to Pele Labada nin aad bay iskugu eg yihiin. Ma anigaa mise waa indhahayga?
  16. He has just won a Gold in 5k. Good luck to him. As a somali compatriot, great achievement, but something is amiss. God knows how I would have exploded, literally, had he been running for Somalia. Give me Abdulle (I think he was running a long distance rep Somalia, came last) anytime.
  17. ^Couldn't agree with you more. Sooner Sharif vacates the seat and the whole lot are overhauled the better.
  18. City in the East of Africa that resembles Morgue-disho, i heard, is Der As Salaam. Never been there, but both are on the Indian ocean, mainly white-sh, low buildings. Addis, which i have lived, looks nothing like Xamar cadey. Btw, pics of Xamar in the fifties remind of Havana.....anyone?
  19. Ciyaal suuqnimo, for some, nowadays seems to be the currency of the day.
  20. Thank you for posting this. It is very inspirational. Is this a school for the high achievers selected through their talent or just any other school in Hargeisa area? Thx again.
  21. I want to share this with you. This is what a British consul ( Sir A Hardinge) at Zanzibar in late 1800 said about Somalis that he came into contact: "A manly race...the older Sheikhs with their shapely bald heads and white beards, look like British farmers. Their clear eyes and quick intelligent gaze, were the outcome of a healthy life unaffected by the use of stimulants...The race, in my opinion, has no equal in this part of Africa, either in intelligence or courage. They have come down from the north like a conquering host, driving the Gallas and Bajunes before them....They are not afraid of Maxims, cannon or firearms..." Doesn't that fill you with pride? Quoted from Ray Beaches' 'The Warrior Mullah'.
  22. Isn't fascinating that you make a claim to comprehension, yet your lack of the very thing is so damn obvious to everyone. What is with this obsession of you being the only one to understand and no one else can? Get off the effing high horse kid, before I whip you off it (not literally, I'm not violent person). In short, Puntland, just like the majority of SL is one tribal enclave. There is nothing wrong with standing up for its development, educationally, economically, and even achieving transparent system of gov't there, but don't impose your tribal views on all of Somalia. Whether it is 1/3 or 1/2, it is still a region and can not impose on the rest of Somalia. Equality for the land and its governance is the key to unity and peace. Get that through your head.
