NORF, there are 4 different dialects of the Somali language; Xamaraawi, af Maay Maay, af Waqooyi and af Baraawe. sxb, isku xishood and naga da qabyaalad. plurality is diversity.

Tal, dharar iyo dilo aya caad. why tell only half the story?

14. Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud Silaanyo of Somaliland: At 86, a criminal bandit and the Big Man of an unrecognised tribal enclave in Northern Somalia. His Honourable Grand Master AMM Silaanyo, as he insists on being addressed has amassed a personal fortune from his state's meagre GDP and owns a house in the West London suburb of Wimbledon, thanks to diverting money meant for war veterans in late 1980s. What's more it has been reported Silaanyo personally receives thousands of briefcases containing only $100 dollars denominations from Berbera port Authority. Not willing to stop dipping his fingers into all aspects of life, in the repressive state, Silaanyo has created one of the most isolated enclaves in Africa, where human right abuses, clamp down on independent media go hand in hand with his tribes complete domination of all spheres of public life. He has rigged elections and has quashed all opposition thanks to his constitutionally approved powers to extend his term limit, indefinitely. Years in Power: 2.5

We came up with a list of Africa dictators who have one way or the other refused to relinquish power to the people from Prof. Ayittey’s write up on the ‘worst of worst’, we have decided to bring this to you all. Now, some may not be there anymore, but they left a notorious mark in the continent when they were there. Check out our list… let us know what you think…. 1. ROBERT MUGABE of Zimbabwe: A liberation “hero” in the struggle for independence who has since transformed himself into a murderous despot, Mugabe has arrested and tortured the opposition, squeezed his economy into astounding negative growth and billion-percent inflation, and funneled off a juicy cut for himself using currency manipulation and offshore accounts. Years in power: 30 2. OMAR HASSAN AL-BASHIR of Sudan: A megalomaniac zealot who has quashed all opposition, Bashir is responsible for the deaths of millions of Sudanese and has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. Bashir’s Arab militias, the janjaweed, may have halted their massacres in Darfur, but they continue to traffic black Sudanese as slaves (Bashir himself has been accused of having had several at one point). Years in power: 21 3. ISAIAS AFWERKI of Eritrea: A crocodile liberator, Afwerki has turned his country into a national prison in which independent media are shut down, elections are categorically rejected, indefinite military service is mandatory, and the government would rather support Somali militants than its own people. Years in power: 17 6. IDRISS DÉBY of Chad: Having led a rebel insurgency against a former dictator, Déby today faces a similar challenge — from one of his own former cabinet officials, among others. To repel would-be coup leaders, Déby has drained social spending accounts to equip the military, co-opted opposition-leader foes, and is now building a moat around the capital, N’Djamena. Years in power: 20 7. TEODORO OBIANG NGUEMA MBASOGO of Equatorial Guinea: Obiang and his family literally own the economy, having reportedly amassed a fortune exceeding $600 million while the masses are left in desperate poverty. Equatorial Guinea’s extraordinary oil wealth puts its GDP per capita on par with many European states — if only it were evenly shared. Instead, revenues remain a “state secret.” Years in power: 31 9. YAHYA JAMMEH of Gambia: This eccentric military buffoon has vowed to rule for 40 years and claims to have discovered the cure for HIV/AIDS. (Jammeh also claims he has mystic powers and will turn Gambia into an oil-producing country; no luck yet.) A narcissist at heart, the dictator insists on being addressed as His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Abdul-Azziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh. Years in power: 16 10. BLAISE COMPAORÉ of Burkina Faso: A tin-pot despot with no vision and no agenda, save self-perpetuation in power by liquidating opponents and stifling dissent, Compaoré has lived up to the low standards of his own rise to power, after murdering his predecessor, Thomas Sankara, in a 1987 coup. Years in power: 23 11. YOWERI MUSEVENI of Uganda: After leading a rebel insurgency that took over Uganda in 1986, Museveni declared: “No African head of state should be in power for more than 10 years.” But 24 years later, he is still here, winning one “coconut election” after another in which other political parties are technically legal but a political rally of more than a handful of people is not. Years in power: 24 12. PAUL KAGAME of Rwanda: A liberator who saved the Tutsis from complete extermination in 1994, Kagame now practices the same ethnic apartheid he sought to end. His Rwandan Patriotic Front dominates all levers of power: the security forces, the civil service, the judiciary, banks, universities, and state-owned corporations. Those who challenge the president are accused of being a hatemonger or divisionist and arrested. Years in power: 10 13. PAUL BIYA of Cameroon: A suave bandit who has reportedly amassed a personal fortune of more than $200 million and the mansions to go with it, Biya has co-opted the opposition into complete submission. Not that he’s worried about elections; he has rigged the term limit laws twice to make sure the party doesn’t end anytime soon. Years in power: 28 ---------- http://changeandrevolution.com/?p=982 ------- Prof. Ayittey on form...again. excellent.

two chickens. one an atheist and the other a vegan are chilling on the side of a busy road…. the vegan chicken says randomly....hey,'i've got a joke''....... ‘’why did the atheist chicken cross the road?’’ and do you suppose, hypothetically speaking that is,...... if the chicken were to die, let's say whilst crossing the road, it will go to chicken heaven'' then the atheist chicken goes on a soliloquy........ponders and says.....''which came first the baby chicken or the egg?''.....that is the question that will determine the rationality of this hypothesis I’m indeed confronted with....seeing that philosophy is questions that may never be answered….. and religion is answers that may never be questioned...... your question Hank, paradoxically has no basis given that blind faith is an ironic gift to return to the creator of chicken intelligence.'' .......''thus, we...umm, i mean…i will not cross the road.'' they do not cross the road but are struck by a thunder bolt with the odds of 3,000,000,000,000 to 1. LOL then a bearded thug-fascist picks up the vegan chicken as it was slaughtered ethically by the thunder bolt and cooks it. the atheist chicken is left behind to rot unceremoniously, that even the maggots decide against any further eating....the ground doesn't even want its dead body to rest on its surface....woe, the fate of atheists....LOL
