FB, Obama waxbuu la aamusan yahay. I am still puzzled by the persona of this man. Either he knows something we don't know, or he is doomed to fail. Tonight we will see what plan he has. Here is a piece from informs.org "With the presidential election a year and a half away, campaigning and punditry are already intense, with many commentators noting Obama’s low approval numbers in the polls and pronouncing him highly vulnerable. The most reliable model of presidential elections, however, indicates a different answer. Based on his “13 keys” model, quantitative historian Allan Lichtman called the 2012 election for Obama nearly a year ago, with some caveats about how some keys might change. His predictions are based on 13 questions, each with a “true” or “false” answer (see box). “True” answers favor the incumbent party. If five or fewer answers are “false,” the incumbent party retains the presidency; if six or more are “false,” the challenger wins." The 13 Keys to the Presidency 1.After the midterm election, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than it did after the preceding midterm election. (FALSE) 2.The incumbent-party nominee gets at least two-thirds of the vote on the first ballot at the nominating convention. (TRUE) 3.The incumbent-party candidate is the sitting president. (TRUE) 4.There is no third-party or independent candidacy that wins at least five percent of the vote. (TRUE) 5.The economy is not in recession during the campaign. (Probably TRUE ) 6.Real (constant-dollar) per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth for the preceding two terms. (FALSE) 7.The administration achieves a major policy change during the term, on the order of the New Deal or the first-term Reagan “revolution.” (TRUE) 8.There has been no major social unrest during the term, sufficient to cause deep concerns about the unraveling of society. (TRUE) 9.There is no broad recognition of a scandal that directly touches the president. (TRUE) 10.There has been no military or foreign policy failure during the term, substantial enough that it appears to undermine America’s national interests significantly or threaten its standing in the world. (UNCERTAIN) 11.There has been a military or foreign policy success during the term substantial enough to advance America’s national interests or improve its standing in the world. (FALSE) 12.The incumbent-party candidate is charismatic or is a national hero. (FALSE) 13.The challenger is not charismatic and is not a national hero. (TRUE) If six or more of these statements are false, the incumbent party loses.

Talking about support, close to 90% of the Somali race is outside of Somaliland. Mo Farah, a talented Somali athlete, could have maximized his adoring fan base by staying mum. That flag fiasco was not particularly a good PR stunt in my view. A new gig for Raage Oomaar's PR person? It may be too late. :D Good luck to brother Mo in the Olympics. Go get them indeed.

I like it. It is the old Kedis program with Millionaire flavor.

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. Waxu arxan daranaa?

Nabadu waa qaali. Mar hadii la wada dego, waxaa wanaagsan in wixii xun ee dhibaato wada ee khalkhal gelinaya nabadda, walaalnimada, iyo wada deganaanshaha la iska qabto. Galkacayo hadii dagaal ka dhaco, shacabka dhan ayuu saamaynayaa.

I wonder if Oodwayne is onboard as well?

Xaaju Xunjuf and Maadeey reporting the news on an event that is important to many means absolutely no harm regardless of their political convictions. This is how we all stay informed.

Turkey's Minister of Family and Social Policy Fatma Şahin, addressing the high demand for the adoption of Somali children in Turkey, said: “The legal infrastructure has not yet been signed in Somalia. After the legal infrastructure is in place, there will be no obstacles.” Şahin said there have already been more than 300 requests from Turkey for the adoption of Somali children. Recalling her visit to Somalia, Şahin said one of the main requests in Somalia was the adoption of Somali children in Turkey. “According to the legal arrangements between countries, we can, in fact, do this. But Somalia has not signed the international agreement,” Şahin said regarding the feasibility of adopting Somali children in Turkey. Though Şahin said the ministers in Somalia have said that there should be no problem, according to the international agreement between the two countries, a provision must be signed in the Assembly. Şahin said she and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are jointly tracking the progress of the Assembly. http://www.todayszaman.com/news-255266-sahin-efforts-underway-for-adopting-somali-children.html

This is the Facebook picture that has sparked a police investigation. The police are asking members of the public who can identify the man in this picture - which may have been manipulated - to come forward to assist them in their investigation. We have obscured the child's face to protect his identity, but child advocacy groups are concerned about the youngster's well being

^^Awoowe, where is he?

Glad to see him show up. Saudi Arabia is a brother nation.

I thought Godane was already fired by Al-Zawahiri

lool@Nuune. Keep us updated awoowe. Maanta Tripoli was quiet I assume. Shops are open, people are celebrating on the streets and Gadaffi is hiding in a cave. Tolow Nuune godka cunto ma ugu geyn doonaa saaxiibkiis Gadafi. :D :D

Outrage over "diplomatic protocol" should be reserved for a nation that has a functioning government. Somalia is a fallen nation and our current TFG can't be considered a functioning national government as such. Shariif had met Erdogan few occasions prior to Erdogan’s historic trip to Somalia and I am not least bid surprised he selfishly took the opportunity to welcome Erdogan at the airport. We all know Shariif is quite amateurish and lacks diplomatic etiquette at times, but this shouldn’t be a concern for the current TFG. These guys need to keep focus on the dying folks and the famine. That is what is important.
