^^^ Ladiif, I and many other don't think Singub would ever say that. I guess India and Qudhac need to bring some evidence (a video/voice tape or something). Someone must have some recording somewhere if this was an official gathering.

^^ If what you alleged did indeed take place, then the old man has gone mad. It is utterly unacceptable for anyone to even make a slight excuse for the slaughter of civilians in Hargeisa, let alone condone it. Runtu way soo bixi.

Norf, green tea is my thang lately. To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful cancer rheumatoid arthritis high cholesterol levels cariovascular disease infection impaired immune function What makes green tea so special? The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke. Links are being made between the effects of drinking green tea and the "French Paradox." For years, researchers were puzzled by the fact that, despite consuming a diet rich in fat, the French have a lower incidence of heart disease than Americans. The answer was found to lie in red wine, which contains resveratrol, a polyphenol that limits the negative effects of smoking and a fatty diet. In a 1997 study, researchers from the University of Kansas determined that EGCG is twice as powerful as resveratrol, which may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent are smokers. Why don't other Chinese teas have similar health-giving properties? Green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. What sets green tea apart is the way it is processed. Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing and fighting various diseases. Other Benefits New evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters. In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market. Harmful Effects? To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.

Farah, I think the 800,000 number is a bid off. The population in SS&Hawd is close to 1.2 million if not more. The land is massive. A friend who just came back from LA said he counted how many houses they have in Laascaanood one by one. It was slightly more than 100 thousand houses. Now, if you assume the worst and say 3 people live in every house (average), you have 300,000 people in LA. If 300,000 live in LA, is it accurate to say 500,0000 covers everything else including Sanaag and Hawd? The answer is no.

Alle-Ubaahnoow, waxaan islahaa wadaad baad tahoo cidina kaa shakiyi mayso. Sowdigan wadaadnimadii iga saaray. Waagii aan dhalinyarada ahaa mar mar waan soo fiirin jiray riwaayadaha, hadase oday weyn oo xaasle baan noqdoo, dee xaaladii baaba iska adkaatay.

Xafladii U hiilli Hobolkaaga Ee Gothenburg Sweden Oo Ay Carqaladeeyeen Koox Wadaaddo Ah. Waxaa qortay; Ikraam Cali-kaar Habeenimadii sabtida soo galay taariikhduna ku beegneyd 28.1.2005-ta waxa magaalada Gothenburg ee dalka Sweden ka dhacday xaflad loogu magac darray u hiili hobolkaaga oo hindisaheeda lahaa Abwaanka weyn ee Yuusuf Maxamed Muumin (Yuusuf yare). Xafladan oo lugu taageerayey fanaankii Cabdi Tahliil Warsamey oo ku xanuunsanaya dalka Isutaga Imaaradka Carabta, ayaa fanaaniinta Soomaalida Sweden iyagoon u hakala harrin kasoo qeybgaleen xafladaasi kuna soo ban dhigeen bandhig faneedyadoodii looga bartay. Hase ahaatee siddii la doonayey xafladaasi uma dhicin sababtuna waa iyadoo ay qaban qaabiyeyaashu ku sheegen wadaado carqaladeeyey, ka hor intii aaney xafladu dhicin. Abaarihii 10-kii fiidnimo ayaa meesha ay xafladu ka dhici laheyd oo ah xaafad ay sida aadka ah Soomaalida u tago yimaadeen koox wadaado ah, waxaana halkaasi hadalo kulul is weydaarsadeen qaar kamid ah qaban qaabiyeyaasha xaflada oo arrintoodu qarka u saarneyd iney u yeeraan boolis aminiga ilaalisha, kadib markii labada kooxoodba ay qoloba qolada kale eedeyneyso. Qaban qaabiyeyaasha xaflada ayaa iyagu la sheegay iney wadaada ku yiraahdeen hadaad meesha ka tegiweysaan waxaan u yeereynaa boolis oo aan leenahay waa â€Argagaxiso†Halka wadaadaduna sheegen in iyaguna haddii boolis yimaado oran doonan â€Meesha waxaa lugu iibinayaa maandooriyeyaalâ€. Muddo gaaban kadib ayaa fanaaniintii reer Stockholm oo hogaaminayey Yuusuf yare oo yimid goobta la hadlay wadaadadii iyo dhalinyaradii oo qoorta iskula jira, waxaana ay aakhirkii ku dhamaatay is afagarasho sida uu ii sheegay Yuusuf yare oo aan goor dambe qadka taleefanka kula hadlay. Mar aan weydiiyey sida ay isku afgarteen ayuu yiri â€Markaan arkay kooxdii wadaada aheyd oo raxan raxan ah, ayaan ku iri marka hore hogaan aan la hadlo oo addiinka idiin kamid ah ayaan rabaa sida ay Diintu Islaamkuba qabto ileyn dhowr iyo qof lamawada hadli karee, kadibna waxaan la hadlay hogaankoodi anah uma arkeyn imaatinkooda wax qalad ah bacdamaa ay gudanayen waajibaad diini, marba haddii meel la iskugu yimaado ay waajib tahay iney Alle ka cabsiga la is xasuusiyo is jiid jiid dheer kadibna waa ay gareysteen wadaadi meshiina wey iskaga tageenâ€. Dhinaca kale ogaal la’aan jiray bulshada oo dhami aaney ogeyn iyo dhinaca wargelinta oo aad u liidatay marka laga reebo in qoraal ogeysiis ahaan loogu dhejiyey website-yada soomaalida ay iyadana aheyd sababta labaad ee xafladaasi nuxurkii iyo ujeedadii loo sameeyeyba ka qaaday, dad tiro ahaan kayar 50 ruux oo kasoo qeybgalay xafladdii habeenkaasiay goob joog ahaayeen. Waxeyna tanin noqotay mid niyad jab ku riday fanaaniintii safarka u soo gashay si ay u kaalmeeeyan walaalkooda Cabdi Tahliil Warsame. Xafaladan (u Hiili Hobolkaaga) ayaa qeybteeda labaad waxaa bishan dabayaaqadeeda lugu qaban doonaa magaalada Stockholm oo ah caasimadda Sweden, waxaana ay fanaaniintu rajeynayaan in dad badani ay kasoo qeyb geli doonaan, maadama magaalada Stockhom ay ka shacbiyad badan tahay magaalada Gothenburg oo iyaddu ay aaminsan yihiin bahda fanaaniinta Soomaaliyeed magaaalo â€hoy u ah ragga wadaada ahâ€. Fanaaniin badan oo ay kamid yihiin Xassan Aadan Samatar, Maryan Mursal, Saacado Cali Warsame,Hibo Maxamed (Hibo Nuura) iyo qaar kaloo badan ayaa magaalada horey bandhig faneedyadooda luugu carqaladeeyey,waxaana ay magaaladu noqotay mid aaney kooxaha fanaaninta ahi aysan ku soo dhiiran ay ku ekaadan magaalada Stockholm iyo magaalooyinka kale ee Kobahagen iyo Oslo. Fanaaniin ay kamid yihiin Hobol Yuusuf Muumin, Xabiib Sharaabi, C/kariin Tunni, C/naasir Illeeye,Xabiibo Maxamuud Cabdi (Xabiibo Wanaag), Maxamed Cumar, Deeq Ismaaciil Dheeg, kooxda Soomali Hip Hop, Aamina Faarax Weheliye Sendiko oo iyadu sidey sheegtay ugu timid magaalada London ee dalka Ingiriiska iyo qaar kale oo aan halkan magacyadooda lugu soo wada xusi karrin ayaa habeenkaasi safka hore kaga jiray bandhig faneedkii ay ugu talagaleen hobolkii Cabdi Tahliil iyagoo maamulkooduna uu aad u habeynaa, waana markii ugu horeysay ee sabanadan dambe la arko koox fanaaniin Soomaaliyeed oo tirro intaas la eg iyagoo nidaamsan ay wada jir u sameeyen bandhigfaneed.

Originally posted by Duke_Valantino: I think a pardon and a warning to all would be a good reflection on the admin, a very good suggestion. A good suggestion perhaps, but all other moderators must also approve this "pardon". It is best you do your campaign and talk to them also. Private message works best.

You are the one complaining when they did their job...not me. If Nationalist is to be brought back, then Otali, Nasir and many of those who broke the rules would have to be brought back also.

Yemen oo digniin ka soo saartay sun nuclear ah oo lagu arkay meel u dhow Soomaaliya Sanca - 18.January.2005 Dawladda Yemen ayaa ku dhawaaqday in ay kahortag baaxad leh iyo taxadar ka samayneyso haraagga nuclear-ka oo lagu arkay meel u dhow Biyaha Wadanka Somaaliya,Warkan ay soo saartey Xukuumada Yamen ayeysan shaaca uga qaadin halka suntu taal iyo marka hawlgallada ka hortagga la bilaabayo toonna. Khuburo ka socota Qaramada Midoobey ayaa lagu waddaa in ay yimaaddaan goobaha suntan lagu sheegay taas oo la aaminsan yahay in khatarteedu ay aad u sarrayso. Warku wuxuu intaasi ku darayaa in tijaabada iyo sahanka la qaaday toddobaadkan dhexdiisa taas oo xaqiijineysa khatarta laga digey. Ilo xog ogaal ah ayaa sheegay in ay maraakiib xambaarsan qashinkaasi ay biha Soomaaliya iyo Yemen ay dhigeen, iyaga oo ka faa’iideysanaya gurmadkii masiibaddii tsunami ee ka dhacday badweynta India. Wargeysyada madaxa bannaan ee Yemen ayaa labadii maalmood ee tegey daabacay in maraakiibtu ay haraagga suntan nuclear-ka ay ku daadiyeen dhinaca badda cas ee Puntland, Somaliland iyo Yemen u dhexaysa.

Birra qushaashaa xayle dananesh.

Uncle Riyaale is having a good time in that picture.

old news. old lies.

I am in a state of shock and disbelief that Adde won this election. I just can't believe this. I hoped for a Hashi win, but I guess his time was up. I respect the vote.

Didn't Cali Samatar admit on the BBC that he gave the orders to bomb Hargeisa and Burco? If the families of those killed would like to see him atleast answer some questions about his past conduct, I see no problems with that. If he is innocent I am sure he will be exonerated.

May Allah ease their pain. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto.

tsunami has killed hundereds of Somalis and thousands of other muslims. let us pray for them.

^^ I agree, Wind, Earth and Fire made a big blunder on that comment? General Afgaduud is actually from Morgan's sub-sub clan. His mother is also from Garoowe if that exonerates President Hashi from Wind's baseless accusations.

Waa maxay af-ingiriiska meesha la isla dhexmarayo. Sow qaybtani ma ahayn Soomaali keliya?

JacaylBaro and Wilo: one-liner replies, chit-chatting, hijacking topics, flooding. We still have hope these two splendid nomads will one day show us their serious side and take part in serious discussions/debates. All we nomads can do is wait and hope. Keep hope alive. Cali Cadde, welcome to Somalia Online brother. I am positive you will have a good time being part of the nomads here. Enjoy the debates, the mild discussions, the news and the daily information posted here by the nomads. Happy New Year to everyone.

Insha Allah the people of Gedo will do well and move forward.

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. My little brother was telling me he knows a Somali guy (Guleed) who was killed two days ago at Centenial Park (Toronto). He was hanged mississipi style with a rope and was left hanging from the tree. His family is ofcourse devastated by this news.

Those of you who are from Toronto probably know Gafaaje. He died last night in a car accident. He wasn't the only one killed in that accident. Cismaan Dheere who was also from Toront died in the same car accident and two others are in a critical condition. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. Ehelkoodana Ilaahay samir iyo iimaan ha ka siiyo. Aamiin

Sister, the solution is very simple. Just login into your account and delete the link added to your profile. After that change you password.

I pray for her and her family. It is shame and unfortunate that Riyaale is making the whole state look unstable, and ruin its reputation by jailing a little 17 year old Somali girl for "spying" without any evidence. This little clueless girl is not a threat to Somaliland and its brave citizens. 5 years is too harsh.
