Is she Somali?

^^ We are talking about a country devastated by war for 3 decades. Recovery and reconstruction takes time. We should celebrate small victories.

Amazing.

Despite all the negative publicity over the years, there are many success stories from the UK.

Groowe is a good looking city by Somali standards.

I admire the Erigavo community. It is doing a lot without government help. Great job.

It is probably not true. Why would Saudi Arabia care about the democratic well being of a state like Somaliland. If the rejection is true, it may be because of the Houthis that Somaliland may have been caught red handed by the Saudis. I don't think that anything else makes sense.

Does that mean, there are two functioning states running parallel? This plays right into the hands of Puntland.

Thanks Saalax. I didn't know that Egal was accused of sending a letter to Isreal in the past.

If the EU and Greece don't make a deal, get ready for a prolonged nasty economic shakeup, specially in Europe. The battle is over.

<cite> @ElPunto said:</cite> ^Somalis and their biases. When the Cadaado guys put into their constitution that their border extends all the way to Nugaal despite the President of the Federal Republic signing an agreement to the contrary with Puntland - you don't have to wonder who started this whole business. At least Gaas and his admin didn't put in their constitution their border extends to Hobyo and Harardheere. It is time that Cadaado guys get on the right side of history. Since 1991 - there has been mistake after mistake that cost them and the country dear. It's time to grow up and act responsibly - finally. It is an attempt to destabilize the country and create fawdo. Somalia is suffering from lack of leadership saxib.

Good for Munira.

^^ Indha-adayg ka daran saxib. AUN

I think the President's camp is playing a game here. The truth will come out.

Migrants wait to disembark from an Iceland Coast Guard vessel at a harbor in southern Italy on May 6 after being rescued at sea. Antonio Calanni / AP It is interesting how Eritreans are fleeing a dictator, but Somalis are mostly economic migrants. The old elite generation from Somalia used to board planes and "is dhiib" at airports. The poor and the disadvantaged Somalis have discovered a new way do the same thing. Anyone from Somalia can now get to Europe by just walking long distances or by taking buses to get to Libya. It is a new world for dhilinyarada dhoofka.

This man is not loyal to his new country. It is fascinating how he is telling the Chinese that he may move on to somewhere else. He sees the whole thing as a business venture and is very open about it. That's got to anger the local Chinese who may read his story. Or maybe they'd like that he moves on and leaves their country.

July 1st, the independence day of many. The colonialists designed it for a summer vacation.

The Saudi Cables: Saudi delegate says “ignore your government, take our orders” to Somali delegate Your cable number 52995/1/5/6 dated 20/2/1434H (2/01/2013) regarding Somalia’s position on the vote on the humanitarian situation in Syria, and the reason for the change in their vote from being in favour of the motion to abstaining from voting. His Excellency the delegate wishes to point out that he noticed this change (of voting) and that he approached the Somali delegate to ask him about it. The delegate (Somali) stated that during the time of the vote, the government was being formed in Somalia (cabinet being chosen). He stated that he asked for the capital’s permission to vote for the resolution, namely the foreign minister, but that he didn’t hear back from them until the vote was over. As such, he was forced to abstain for fear of his decision being contrary to what the new government wanted. His Excellency the delegate made it very clear to the Somali delegate that this excuse was not satisfactory and that priority should have been given to voting in favour of the motion as he had done in the third committee, and during last year’s vote. He also made it clear to him that this decision was supported by the Arab league (voted in 2011). The Somali delegate apologized and he promised to vote in line with what the Saudi delegate wanted going forward. As such, the delegation recommends supporting Somalia, so that in the future, we have the necessary “arguments” to ensure Somalia adherence to positions that fit in with the Saudi position.

Good work.

Beautiful and charming. Best building in Somalia so far. Time to put a stop to the Chinese cheap panels being imported as "modern" all over, specially in the North.

Man this one was hilarious.

Let us just say this cinnamon challenge sucks!!!
