  1. I agree with Galbeedi here. The Liyu police is unnecessary evil at this point in time.
  2. This is what is worrying the right-wing bigots in the Mid-West.
  3. Severs ties with Breitbart. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/09/stephen-k-bannon-steps-breitbart-news-network/
  4. There was no mentionable release. Mr. Haile claimed he was "misinterpreted".
  5. Where is the guy who did this?
  6. Samafal must be pulling a joke on us. From all accounts, Abdiweli is doing a terrible job in Puntland. If people had a choice, they would get rid of him today.
  7. I don't think the current government of Somalia is allowed to borrow money.
  8. I hope the FGS keeps the damages bill very high. It shouldn't be less than 5 billion dollars.
  9. Dr. Hodan learned the Chinese language like a pro.
  10. Welcome to Garowe Mr. Farmaajo!
  11. Che, I was going to ask where that picture was taken, before I saw the sign. That is a funny one. Thanks.
  12. Galbeedi, you give too much credit to Wayanes saxib. There is no better honor for a Somali than to confront what he/she believes to be unjust and undignified. It is our history and that is probably why we are still killing each other. It is an insult to your dignity to fear Wayanes online and to think that you having an opinion on a Somali forum will bring disaster to someone else. For your information, the FBI, the CIA, the Turkish Intelligence, Russian Mafia, Somali President, Dead Meles's family and Muse Bihi probably read SOL. Who the f**** cares? We come here to discuss topics we believe are relevant for the day and that is it. Don't let a Wayane or his collaborators in Somaliland silence your online voice. Information is important and the best way to help your cause is to not let others dictate the narrative. Create your own narrative. Take the lead.
  13. EPRDF was always an exclusive farce. Mr. Olaad is just repeating the obvious.
  14. Galbeedi, OO maaha nin ingiriska aad u yaqaan. I don't believe he is a robot. AI is not that advanced to play mind-games with us on a Somali forum. What I like about OO is that he has a lot of anecdotal stories about past historical events. Some of his stories are heavily biased of course, but many are very credible. I am waiting for the day he insults my Somali heritage. That is the day I will take on him. It is better to engage him just like you and I are doing. Counter propaganda with facts. That is how the forum is supposed to be. Afar is taqaan inay isu nacamleeyaan ma wanaagsana. Diversity of opinion is a blessing.
  15. Galbeedi, we all know Ethiopia is the enemy of the Somalis, but we are commenting on the hottest geopolitical story of today which is about the Gulf-Turkey rift. It is a fascinating story and as you can see I am not on the side of Egypt. It is ok to have a different opinion on the Egyptian dictator. I don't have to post topics everyone agrees with. We don't have to have the same opinion on everything. I respect you and your opinion. I don't attack or insult anyone saxib. The hot topic about Ethiopia right now is the Oromo-Somali conflict and we have many topics about that on SOL already. If you are a big fan of everything Egypt, that is perfectly fine. We should also not forget that Egypt is not heaven for our suffering people.
  16. The archaeologist in the video is protesting the Cushitic dynasty that ruled Egypt was recent and other dynasties are much older. They were all Africans. Who cares.
  17. Al-Sisi is just a brain-dead dictator oppressing his own people. The Egyptian people are good people.
  18. Then there is the Borana Abdi .... they love that name. Amina Abdi from the Kenyan Borana community
  19. As President Trump moved last month to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, an Egyptian intelligence officer quietly placed phone calls to the hosts of several influential talk shows in Egypt. “Like all our Arab brothers,” Egypt would denounce the decision in public, the officer, Capt. Ashraf al-Kholi, told the hosts. But strife with Israel was not in Egypt’s national interest, Captain Kholi said. He told the hosts that instead of condemning the decision, they should persuade their viewers to accept it. Palestinians, he suggested, should content themselves with the dreary West Bank town that currently houses the Palestinian Authority, Ramallah. “How is Jerusalem different from Ramallah, really?” Captain Kholi asked repeatedly in four audio recordings of his telephone calls obtained by The New York Times. “Exactly that,” agreed one host, Azmi Megahed, who confirmed the authenticity of the recording. For decades, powerful Arab states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia have publicly criticized Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, while privately acquiescing to Israel’s continued occupation of territory the Palestinians claim as their homeland. But now a de facto alliance against shared foes such as Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State militants and the Arab Spring uprisings is drawing the Arab leaders into an ever-closer collaboration with their one-time nemesis, Israel — producing especially stark juxtapositions between their posturing in public and private. Mr. Trump’s decision broke with a central premise of 50 years of American-sponsored peace talks, defied decades of Arab demands that East Jerusalem be the capital of a Palestinian state, and stoked fears of a violent backlash across the Middle East. Arab governments, mindful of the popular sympathy for the Palestinian cause, rushed to publicly condemn it. Egyptian state media reported that President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi had personally protested to Mr. Trump. Egyptian religious leaders close to the government refused to meet with Vice President Mike Pence, and Egypt submitted a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding a reversal of Mr. Trump’s decision. (The United States vetoed the resolution, although the General Assembly adopted a similar one, over American objections, days later.) King Salman of Saudi Arabia, arguably the most influential Arab state, also publicly denounced Mr. Trump’s decision. At the same time, though, the kingdom had already quietly signaled its acquiescence or even tacit approval of the Israeli claim to Jerusalem. Days before Mr. Trump’s announcement, the Saudi crown prince, Mohamed bin Salman, privately urged the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to accept a radically curtailed vision of statehood without a capital in East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian, Arab and European officials who have heard Mr. Abbas’s version of events. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/06/world/middleeast/egypt-jerusalem-talk-shows.html
