I think Elman FC is named after Ilwad Elman's father.

Elman FC takes the trophy this year. This is great. Somalia is coming back slowly.

I don't think Somalis are involved.

I hope this becomes a reality soon.

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Thankfully, the majority of the world's population and every respectable scientific and medical institution have now come to the inevitable conclusion that homosexuality existed as long as humanity existed and will continue to exist no matter what, is not a disease, is a different variant of the overall human sexuality. Tallaabo, there is little conclusive evidence that homosexuality is genetic. The science to conclusively support such assertion is just not there.

It is strange some Somalis feel the need to rub old wounds with salt by celebrating Siyad's seizure of power when so many people died because of it.

What will be the reaction of the Western donors?

<cite> @Admin said:</cite> Xabad is banned from SOL. Alhamdulilaaaah. This qashin should have been banned long time ago. I have not seen him contribute to SOL anything other than abusive and hateful remarks.

DoctorKenney, this CBS News report was filed just 4 days ago. "Kagame has had "complete impunity to eliminate" his political rivals during his 14 years of rule. Kagame's Rwanda "doesn't look like a democracy," says Davenport."

Rwanda is a beautiful country, but the same issue that contributed to the infamous genocide still exist today. Tutsi control of the political and economic power of the country has doubled since the genocide and the country can descend into violence once again. The West is propping up Kigame as a savior but the Hutus feel marginalized and a Tutsi minority (15% of the total population) still controls the country.

Why is it that the extremist are always targeting minors, specially females. This active recruiting by ISI agents in the West must be exposed and stopped.

I've never heard of them. Good for them. I wouldn't stay in Kenya as well knowing what is happening there.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> until Ebola is controlled. Mr. Johnson keep speaking louder. I agree. Mr. Abdi Johnson keep telling us about the coming Ebola disaster in Somalia. There will be no one left in Somalia if Ebola spreads there because we don't have a fraction of the healthcare infrastructure the West African countries have.

The Sierra Leone Government is the most corrupt. Instead of admitting that a basic protocol has been breached, they change the story and now deny that the soldier was even part of the battalion headed for Somalia. Do they think we are fools? Why doesn't Somali President stop the deployment of these troops?

Welcome back Lost-One.

This disease has the potential to wipe out generation of Africans.

Health workers scrambling to contain the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia now have to contend with an outbreak of corruption among those detailed to collect the bodies of victims. US Ebola case is first diagnosed outside Africa AFP Sierra Leone's burial teams for Ebola victims strike over hazard pay Reuters WHO: More than 8,000 people have been infected in current Ebola outbreak The Week (RSS) U.S. airline group to meet with health officials on Ebola Reuters Liberia nurses threaten strike over Ebola pay Associated Press The Wall Street Journal reports that retrieval teams are accepting bribes from families of Ebola victims to issue death certificates that say their loved ones died of other causes, allowing them to keep their bodies for a traditional burial. “The family says the person is not an Ebola patient, and [the retrieval team] pull them away from the other people," Vincent Chounse, a community outreach worker on the outskirts of Monrovia, told the paper. "Then they say, ‘We can give you a certificate from the Ministry of Health that it wasn’t Ebola.' Sometimes it is $40. Sometimes it is $50. ... Then they offer bags to them and [the family] carry on their own thing.” A teenager in Montserrado told the Journal he saw the father of his neighbor pay $150 for a certificate that said his son's corpse was Ebola-free. Government Information Minister Lewis Brown told the paper his office has received reports of health workers issuing fake death certificates, but he added that no burial team has "a capacity to go and issue certificates." According to the World Health Organization, more than 4,000 Ebola cases have been reported in Liberia, resulting in 2,316 deaths since the outbreak began. But local health officials say the numbers are not adding up. “We are not receiving the amount of community calls that we should be,” Agnes “Cokie” van der Velde, who oversees body collection teams for Doctors Without Borders, told the paper. The grim task of removing bodies infected with Ebola is critical, health officials say, because the dead are a major source of contagion. Working against them is the stigma associated with Ebola among West Africans, and the desire for the family to have a traditional burial. Often, communities will assume that one person infected with the disease means his or her entire family is infected and therefore is discriminated against and shunned. Van der Velde said while she was not aware of body retrieval teams accepting bribes, they are nonetheless in a tricky position. “We try to be very respectful, but in the end what we’re doing is taking their loved one, zipping them in a bag and taking them away." https://news.yahoo.com/ebola-families-bodies-bribes-153423993.html

UPDATE (9:20 a.m. EDT): CNN reported new details Sunday morning on the health worker infected with Ebola in Texas: The victim is a female nurse, and Texas Health Resources chief clinical officer Dan Varga said she was involved in Thomas Eric Duncan’s second visit to the hospital, meaning that she was wearing full protective gear when she interacted with Duncan, the first person diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. A “close contact” of the nurse has been “proactively” isolated as well, Varga said. The fact that the nurse was apparently wearing the full gown, gloves, mask and shield meant to prevent Ebola transmission when she was treating Duncan adds a new layer of concern as the virus has been characterized as “difficult to catch” by news outlets and the government. In addition to speaking with CNN, Varga issued a statement Sunday morning, confirming that the nurse is in “stable” condition. Less than one week after the first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. died, the virus has struck again: A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola, the Texas Health Department announced Sunday. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital is the facility where Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient diagnosed with Ebola inside the U.S., was admitted and tested.

5 Reasons why Erdogan doesn't want to take on ISIS ANGER AGAINST AMERICA Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is frustrated the United States did not get involved in the 3-year-old Syrian civil war until radicals from the Islamic State — also known as ISIS or ISIL — took over large parts of Iraq. Erdogan had urged the United States to help Syria's moderate rebels overthrow the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, but he does not want to devote Turkish troops to the fight. ANGER AGAINST KURDS Kobani is in the hands of a Kurdish faction, the PYD, whose leaders in Damascus never joined the fight to overthrow Assad. The Assad regime didn't attack Kobani in the past three years and left behind weapons for the Kurds to protect themselves. "Now Kobani needs Turkey," says Ilhan Tanir, Washington correspondent for the Turkish daily Vatan, "but Turkey is implying, 'You've been gambling for three years and already called for autonomous regions without consulting us, so this is part of the gamble. Now you are on your own.' " LACK OF TRUST Turkey has been fighting a 30-year war with a Kurdish separatist movement, the PKK. The PYD is associated withthe PKK, a State Department-designated terrorist group. Erdogan considers the PKK to be equivalent to the Islamic State. As a result, the government fears if it provides weapons to Kurdish fighters, those weapons will be used against Turkey. TERRORISM CONCERNS Militants have funneled weapons and fighters through Turkey into Syria. The Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, have networks in Turkey. "If Turkey attacks ISIS in Syria, there could be a serious blowback within Turkey, and Turkey does not want to take this risk," Tanir said. ISLAMIC STATE TIES Turkish security and intelligence services may have ties to Islamic State militants. The group released 46 Turkish diplomats it had abducted the day before the United States launched airstrikes against it. Turkey, a NATO member, may have known the airstrikes were about to begin and pressured its contacts in the Islamic State to release its diplomats. "This implies Turkey has more influence or stronger ties to ISIS than people would think," Tanir said. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/10/08/5-reasons-turkey-is-not-fighting-is-syria/16919949/

:D

DK, thanks for pointing out that it is a religious obligation for Muslims who have Ebola to self-quarantine and not spread the disease.
