waves raula. congrats inadeer.

checkmate, inanta yar ee aan awoowaha u ahay bal igu salaan. Congrats checkmate. Ilaahay middii khayr qabta ee lagu nasto haka dhigo.

oops

HornAfrique, this is amazing. A classic indeed.

This is for the moderators and the lander nomads. Time to recognize their valuable contribution to SOL and its identity. Happy holidays.

^^^ loooool You better hurry up and get us some beautiful pictures.

^^ Ameth, any pics of Boorama. Such a mysterious city. I feel like emailing Gediid to pay a visit to Boorama and send us some. But then again Gediid is busy making deals with "big time ballerz" as my little cousin would say. Who has time for such minor things. Boqorka-Booraama, welcome to SOL king!!!!!!!

^^^ Juma, gabdhihii oo dacwo ah ayaa pm moderators ku wareeriyey.

It is only up one day. Let people get used to it. Besides, last time I checked, there were 17 nomads chatting. The chat has the same moderators as the forum plus Nuune. One thing that helps is to stay there logged in. Just open and work with a different browser window. If you check and leave, and everyone does that, the room will always be empty. You will hear a sound that someone has entered the room. That is my tip.

Rahima, thank you for the nice pictures. Absolutely stunning pictures. I love nature and you have some beautiful ones there. Give us the details of your trip when you catch your breath.

Juma, somehow I didn't come out on these pictures. There were a lot of people there and not everyone is in the pictures. I see only the pics of few here.

^^^ Maan, It was raining like crazy and we stood there shouting. Luckly I brought my umbrella with me, but I had to share it with my cousins. The Saudis were watching us from the windows. A dedicated bunch we were ... screaming "what do we want? justice" "when do we want? noooow!!" I enjoyed my short stay in Ottawa. Very nice city.

Modesty, a friend just emailed me some pictures of the city he is staying, Boosaaso. I like the following pic. A beautiful landscape. Fishermen on the coast.

May Allah grant you father Jannah. Samir iyo iimaan walaal. Sad news indeed. Geeridu waa xaq.

Reports are coming out of Nairobi that the famous Somali millionaire Uunlaaye is robbed and humiliated by his manager. I remember my mother Ilaahay naxariistii eebbe ha ka waraabiyee used to say "lacagta halkaan ka keenaa, ma Ina uunlaayaa i dhalay" everytime I ask for an expensive item. Things change. Qofkii qof muslim ah dhaca xoolihiisa, Ilaah ayaa ka abaal marin doona maalin kale. Give the guy some shelter atleast. ------------------ Ibrahim Osman Abukar (Uunlaye) oo maanta laga goostay masruufkii, biyihii, korontadii iyo daawadii. April 22, 2005, Nairobi, Kenya - Ibraahim Uunlaaye waxaa uu ku dhashay magaaladda kismaayo sanadkii 1918. Waxaa uu qaxooti ku ahaa dalka Kenya tan iyo sannadkii 1991. Uunlaaye oo xaaladiisii caafimaad ay aad u liidatay beryahan dambe, ayaa waxaa la soo daristay xaalad dhaqaale xumo kadib markii ninkii xoolihiisa u hayay uu u diiday in uu siiyo masruufkii uu ka qaadan jiray. Ibraahim Uunlaaye waxaa uu ka mid ahaa maalqabeenkii ugu waynaa ee dalka soomaaliyeed ka dhashay, kuna lahaa hanti maguurto ah oo aad u badan magaalooyinka Muqdisho iyo Kismaayo; Xoolihiisa oo dhanna galiyey horumatinta dalkiisa sida dhismaha Airport kismayo, Suuqyadda ugu waaweeyn ee dalka siiba Xamar, Masaajidyo, Xafiisyo, Bakhaaro, Guryo, Garaashyo, Shaleemooyin, Gawaaridda Xamuulka, Beero, iyo Hantiyo kale oo aad u farabadan oo aan halka lagu soo koobi Karin. Sanadka markuu ahaa 1989 ayaa Ibraahim Uunlaaye dawladii Soomaliyeed ay u aqoonsatay kuna abaalmarisay in uu yahay ninkii ugu hantida badnaa oo hatidiisa dalka gudihiisa galiyey, kadib markii la tartansiiyey asaga iyo Jirde Hussein, oo isna ahaa maalqabeenka labeed ee Soomaaliyeed. Sanadka markuu ahaa 1991 ayaa waxa uu u qaxay dalka Kenya asaga iyo caruurtiisa waxa uu watay lacag gaaraysa ($5 million) shan milyan oo doolarka mareykanka ah; haddiiba waxa uu lacagtaas u dhiibtay kuna aaminay ganacsade Soomaali ah oo sharci ku leh dalka Kenya, uuna ka codsaday in uu u maalgalin ku sameeyo. Ganacsadahaas oo magaciisa layiraahdo Maxamud Axmad Maxamud oo loo yaqaano Shariif Dhagawayne ayaa muddo 14 sanno ah u hayay hantidiisa. Uunlaaye waxaa uu codsaday in loogu maalgaliyo hantida maguurtada ah sida real estate (Guryo) iyo Gawaari, waxaase cadaatay in Ganacsade Shariif Dhagaweyne xoolaha lagu aaminay ay si qarsoodi ah isugu qoreen isaga iyo wiil uu dhalay. Dhulalkaas oo lagu iibshay lacagtii Ibraahim Uunlaaye. Ganacsadahaas lagu aaminay hantidu waxaa uu hantidii ku maalgaliyey ganacsi isaga u gaar ah. Waxaa uu lunsaday lacag lagu qiyaasay $2.5 milyan. Waxaa ayaan daro ah maana oo Axad ah 23-04-2005 in Ibraahim Uunlaaye oo 87 jir ah in uu daganyahay Guri Kiro ah, oo korontaddii, biyihiina, dawaadii, masruufla’aana yahay. Ibraahim Uunlaaye oo qaba cudurka wadnaha iyo maskaxda (Alzheimer’s disease) oo aan tabar iyo taagna aan u lahayn in uu la xisaabtamo Shariif Dhagaweyne. Wiil iyo Gabar uu dhalay Ibraahim Uunlaaye oo jooga magaaladda Nairobi oo isku dayay in ay la xisaabtamaan Shariif Dhagaweyne, waxaa loo taxaabay xabsiga iyagoo wata gaarigoodii Mercedes Benzka ahaa, uuna soo dacweeyay Shariif Dhagaweyne oo policeka u sheegay in ay gaariga ka xadeen.

^^^ Waryaa checkmate, war duf ku baxe, waa maxay balaayada aad familka u saadinayso iyo is-furriinku? Xaal baa ku fuulay saxib. No way out.

looooooooooool

That is juma?

I think some of you Sujuis would know. Is this Kenyan Ambassador/Rep to the World Trade Organization an ethnic Somali or from another ethnic group (indian)? Just wondering. She surely does look Somali and she is carrying a Muslim name. She is the head of the selection committe that will pick the next WTO chairman. Good to see a sister "doin her thang" as they say in America. "Lamy, the former European Union trade chief, was followed by the foreign minister of Mauritius, Jayen Krishna Cuttaree, and Uruguay's former ambassador to the WTO Carlos Perez del Castillo, said Amina Mohamed, Kenya's ambassador to the WTO and head of the election process." "Ambassador Mohamed is a graduate of Oxford University and was Chairman of the International Organization for Migration in 2003, and Coordinator, in 2002, of the WTO's African Group, of which 41 nations are members." http://www.cityu.edu.hk/slw/WTODR/24Mar04.htm
