Family members do have an influence among teenagers and it is obvious the misguided older brother played a big role in their disappearance.

Congrats to Germany and its passionate supporter (MMA)!!!

It was a terrible day for Brazilian football. The Germans knew that taking the lead early was going to crush emotional Brazil without Neymar and captain Silva. Germany took full advantage of the situation and the team played to the script. I do believe that Germany will have a hard time beating the speedy Dutch. If Argentina comes out, Germany has a better chance of lifting the trophy again.

I am not sure if that can be translated as "wax qabadka gobalka Banaadir." Hotel Degel Cabmbe Cabme ma loo ciliyey? Didn't the occupier erect another building in front of it. If Muungaab was successful in returning this prime property to Xaaji Cambe Cambe, it is a great progress indeed.

Suarez is an animal who should not be on the pitch. Why does he feel the need to bite someoneone?

Muungaab has friends in Garoowe. It is a good thing.

It appears this was fabricated deal. If the stakeholders of SW6 are not on-board as MMA indicated, a made-up deal is nothing more than a futile publicity stunt.

Gheelle T. Awoowe, I didn't watch the games today, but I am not really surprised another African team bites the dust in a humiliating fashion. The best African team is France at the moment. I'll be cheering for them. MMA, don't you think Klinsmann will make a deal with your Joachim Löw against the Black Stars? I am just saying it Awoowe ... just saying it!

Both Ghana are Portugal will likely be out. Germany and US will play it safe and settle for a draw. The Germans will try not to embarrass Klinsmann even thought the US is not an easy team to beat. The Americans play their hearts out and give everything they got. Bravehearts!!!!

Waryaa, Alpha, Awoowe cayda qabaa'illada Soomaaliyeed waa laga fiican yahay.

<cite> @Nin-Yaaban said:</cite> After SoL went to this new look, it got boring and weird. I sent couple of complaint PMs to LSK iyo Admin (like they ever listen), so i dont come here a lot anymore. Once a while. Awoowe, your complaint about CiidanSuldan was received, but banning a nomad based solely on the recommendation of another nomad is something SOL admins never practice. CidanSuldan is a nomad with strong opinions, but as long as he plays by the rules, we can't make him post opinions you like. It is how the forum's continuity works. As is customary, post your own thoughts or interesting topics to counter balance the rants of others. It is an open forum. If you come to SOL to consume content and not contribute, you then risk of being overrun by those whose opinion is not your cup of tea. Staying inactive and complaining about others on SOL is not going to make your experience here any more pleasant. Send me or other moderators a note if you have other thoughts or suggestions.

Have a safe travel Safferz.

Please do so Galbeedi. Let us know when you finish your investigation and we will feature it on SOL's front page.

This is going to be awesome for those of us who like Somali politics. Jeremy Renner, please don't change your mind. If you need help, come to Somalia Online's Politics section and many of the political jukies on this site will construct powerful narratives for your drama skits.

Galbeedi, I heard numerous times that it is customary for the Arab sheikhs to give "cash in cimaamad" to any visiting official from Somalia (assumption by Arabs is that Somalis need money). The cash is normally pocketed by the visiting Somali officials instead of taking it back home and trying to help the needy. I was told that most Somali politicians who travel abroad look forward to any encounter with the Kuwaiti, Qatari, Emirati and Bahraini monarchs.

Aside from few controversial statements, it was a good speech overall.

Welcome Raage. Ha is martiyayn.

Long term strategy should be to tap into the abundant solar energy. Typical family bungalow of 6 bedrooms can be powered by a solar kit that costs approximately $1000 or less to install. That would certainly take care of the messy wires.

During Rayaale’s reign, the Berbera port manager Cali Xoor xoor used to bring a bag of cash every month to the presidential palace. Galbeedi, this is a common problem in the horn. Instead of revenue going straight to the central bank, more often than not public money is diverted midstream by powerful forces only to use it for personal needs without any sort of accountability.

A much needed clarification indeed. There is no need for AMISOM or any other foreign troops to set foot on Puntland soil. It is not needed.

Is that Ahmed Dirie in the background?
