Rudy thanks my brother. Appreciate that. Oba thanks bro Blessed, amin walaal. Shukran.

wyre lol. Sxb the time to go home is now. We're talking about a home country that needs to be rebuilt and rehabilitated from the scratch. So shaqo horta la waayi maayo kolaad kalluun gurtaba laakiin in meesha la joogo ayaa ugu muhiimsan. Just the feeling of being in your own motherland and helping out is priceless sxb. I only wish to contribute the little I know to my people and country's brighter future Inshallaah and grow old contentedly. Thats my little dream.

Oba, in the ancestral lands bro. First Xamar cadey then in Boosaaso, stay sometime in Badhan and travel to Hargeisa. Actually if Kismaayo is safe by the time I'm there thats my city. Lol. Alpha blondy. We met in 2007? 2007 was when I first went back si aan u soo indha indheeyo dhulkii - adna leave to remain ayaad ii sheegaysa. I think you mean 1997 when I first came to qurboland. Either way its jolly good that you and Ibtisam are back home. I might come there Inshallaah.

NORF lol I miss that life sxb. My little brother is based in Hargeisa and has been suggesting Hargeisa as the best place for me. The city has culture and character. Oba hiloowloow, sxb iska daa odayga ha hadlo ee illeen he is in his own home. Thats the beauty of being home - despite all the odds one feels free and warm deep inside.

NORF, lol. Adeer waxba ma jiraan. Paragon is going home to simply retire from exile. A cariish in some quiet part of any town would do. I am an old man now and ragga markuu gaboobana maxda waxay u baahan tahay dhulka Soomaali ee ay u dhalatay.

Guys, thanks alot. AT&T iyo chimera I know there is a net connection globally and will keep you updated on what happens on the ground - I hope to write on life back home, the social and policy reality on the ground and what its like for someone returning for good.

Lately I've been travelling here and there in the say last good bye to family members in Europe and the US before returning to the motherland. I haven't, however, had the same chance to bid my SOLers goodbye. So may I take this opportunity to say noolikulante to SOLers I've come to know in the last 10 years of being on this forum. It's been an immense pleasure exchanging views and news with you all. Caf iyo musaamax. Soo duceeya inshallaah.

OdaySomali, thanks alot. I'm actually on my way home and for good. Being here in Qurboland just aint feeling right. The feeling is sickening to the core. I have to rep you for this. Keep up this good work brother. Its much appreciated.

Adeer warka ii soo koob oo waxaad ii sheegtaa ninku wuxu yiri. Dastuurka miyuu la jiraa mise waa uu ka soo horjeedaa? Almuhiim fuluus.

Thanks Oba

Very beautiful walaahi. Amin ducadaada Allaha noo aqbalo hooyo.

Che cannot contain his sheer joy but he wants the black gold oo burqanayaa... and his song will have a chorus in the tune of 'waa sidaan rabay! waa sidaan rabay!' Insha-Allaah. Any minute from now...!

siyaasadani waa boolitikis. waa tuu nuune sheegi jiray

Coofle, fascinating stuff.

JB what 'really' happened that forced AT&T change his political stance while he was in H town? Are we to believe that all his commentary and his professed pledge to SL independence was only relevant only when he was in H town due to nature of the situation he was in? Who was the bodyguard? His own bodyguard or a chinese seconding bodyguard type under orders from the power that be?

^Waa wax xil leh adeer. Afka lama soo marin karo. JB, you're becoming SOL main contact guy in H town. I'll be there soon Inshallaah to say hello to my bro once he's back from Xamar.

Xaaji, jacayl is a noble lie to keep humans procreating. Teeda kale all these pictures you see of wrinkled older timers supposedly inlove waa indhasarcaad - they're are selling something. Something which i can not as yet point my finger at. You want real advice? Just get on with it and hope for warrior boys and obedient daughters.

That got to you, eh Xaaji? I mean it should.

Muxuu yiri, bal iigu cesha ninku wuxuu yiri.

I love this saga. Hebel iyo heblaayo ma diideen? Haa way diideen! Naww! War maxaa umadda naga reebay inagu? DIIDNAY INAGUNA! Waxaan ku diidnay se Allaa og.

Now that Faroole's admin has opposed the draft constitution, you just watch the spoilers vehemently support it! They'll hail it as a God sent writ! The president of Puntland has a hotmail e-mail account? I find that hard to believe. On another note: the final say is with the 126 or 135 elders gathered in Mogadishu. And the transition;s days are numbered. Take that from me. After nearly 22 years of indecisiveness, Somalis have forefitted the right to deliberate over process of ending the transition.

Thanks OdaySomali

MMA, a timely reminder. Thanks. That Ethiopia is our worst enemy there is no doubt. The question remains how can we untangle Ethiopia's fangs off the weary and suffering Somali body? Here is where we need to be very clever. PS: My 2005 observations still stand. I believe we can cleverly navigate through the huddles of interventionism only if we stick together and develop a winning, post-war Somalia. Dastuurka is our first step to achieving something along those lines, Inshallaah.
