  1. Abdi Warsame secures another big endorsement. Jeff Hayden gives his blessing to this historic campaign.
  2. The new map of Ward 6. The map covers most of the Somali dominated neighborhoods of Minneapolis. Abdi Warsame and his team proposed and fought for it.
  3. IsseRiyole;975955 wrote: The flowery Af-Soomaali used by campaign spokesman Abdulqudus is indicative of a paradigm shift, a deepening of the bench of sort. Gone are the days of our young folks parading English as some sort of a prerequisite for being "intelligent". What you just saw in that video is a sample of an underground movement started by none other than the likes of Abdulqudus and his generation to shift the dialogue away from the usual medium. The roles are reversed today Awoowe. Those who speaks with such high level Af-Soomaali will be in the best position to benefit our community the most. It is remarkable!!
  4. Awoowe, this is actually worse than I thought. I forgot the "camel" reference. Despite being on the wrong end of Alpha's comedic monologue, my claim is predicated on the reasonable view that the President threw the great SOL under the bus. Awoowe, it is important we ask a question that has not been asked enough in my opinion. Did our president rip SOL off just like his predecessors?
  5. The President is copying all kinds of jingles, not the least of which is his use of the word "nomad" as a descriptive term for the Somalis. Aside from previous academia usage, SOL promoted and popularized the term "nomad" for a decade, and I am positive its usage has traveled further off the deep end of SOL battle circles. Or maybe, just maybe, our President is an avid reader of SOL opinion pieces.
  6. Governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, Rep. Phyllis Kahn and Senator Kari Dziedzic with Abdi Warsame
  7. Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Commissioners endorsed Abdi Warsame
  8. Who is Phyllis Kahn? "Phyllis L. Kahn (born March 23, 1937) is a Minnesota politician and member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), she represents District 60B, which includes portions of the city of Minneapolis in Hennepin County in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.[1] She is a retired professor of Biophysics. Kahn was educated at Cornell (B.A. in Physics), Yale (Ph.D. in Biophysics), and Harvard (M.P.A.) Universities."
  9. Abdi Warsame got a huge endorsement. Phyllis Kahn, the longest serving State Rep from Minnesota endorsed Abdi Warsame
  10. Delegates that made Abdi Warsame win the DFL primary. Somalis are not playing around anymore.
  11. This is a serious indictment of Siilaanyo's administration. Where is our Guru Oodweyne??
  12. awoowe, marka hore waan ku salamaya ee iga guddoon salan sida saxansaxo roobeed uu udgoon. ta labaad, my neighbour was the same tribe as that emasculated reer puntland brother, ma garatay? i wouldn't have known it sida kale, dee. balse, i worry for my mental abilities being impaired by this disgusting cancer of sorts. maxa tala ah, awoowe? Alpha, Awoowe, on your behalf, I sent a message of protest to the commissioner of Vice and Virtue of Galdogob city, the husband's ancestral hometown. Let us wait for the commissioner's press conference next week. Bal igu soo warceli hadii uu hadli waayo. Great find Alpha. :D
  13. Alpha qabaa'ilada waad kala baratay ma is tidhi?? Few years ago, this was unimaginable.
  14. The arrest was a job well done. Jacaylbaro, pass that message to my man Siilaanyo. Too bad the punishment was light.
  15. Abdulqudus Donyale, Spokesman for the Abdi Warsame Campaign and Co-founder of Somali Public Radio (http://www.spr.fm) details the importance of this election. Watch this fascinating interview. " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
  16. ^^ Nomads, the picture was taken in the middle of a victory speech after Abdi Warsame beat Lilligren in the DFL primary. Let us focus on the important issues at hand. If Abdi Warsame wins the November 5th election (... and he has 90% chance of unseating the incumbent according to the campaign's internal data), this will be a historic win for the Somalis in the US. Stay focused walaalayaal. Go out and vote!!!
  17. Trying to unseat Robert Lilligren is a tall order. Please go out and vote. The faces of Minneapolis City Council.
  18. The list of elected officials endorsing Abdi Warsame includes: - Congressman Keith Ellison of 5th Congressional District - State Representative Phyllis Kahn of district 60B - State Senator Kari Dziedzic District 60 State Senator Jeff Hyden District 62 - Park Board Commissioner At Large and Board President John Erwin - Park Board Commissioner for District 3 Scott Vreeland
