lets cut the jibes, mocks and insults and all the unnecessary trolling. the truth of the matter is that the somalia team is not ready for the Olympics Games and pose a considerable security threat. these athletes have probably gone through an intensive terrorist type training. i mean look at them, they look malnourished and look like survivors from the last great famine of 2011. similarly, does xamar even have adequate training facilitates or for that matter professional sports clubs or trainers. i think you'd find this is substandard. i certainty wont be cheering these atheletes on that's for sure. they will greatly disappoint and will let all the somali-speaking of the world down, once more....

^ thank god i'm not from somalia. a hell-hole where even the athletes are expected to come last. another accolade to a long list of disappointments.

There will be NO posts I'm afraid on this thread. Thanks for all your contributions. Al.

dearest arafat, you must be very careful to protect your sharaf. once its tainted its gone forever. you must have an impeccable sharaf and must work very hard to maintain this.

salam all, ramadan kariim. i hope you have excellent ramadans and make full use of it. this will be my second ramadan in somaliland and i'm very much looking forward to it.

lol. will add the latest gossip tonight in a world exclusive!

actually, arafat, its 3139. that proves my suspicions that you're not at all familiar with jamal or know him personally. how can a pro-somaliweyn, liberal and 'soft on crimes and the causes of crimes' political gigolo ever amount to anything or even for that matter know 'our' jamal.

come on! inaadeero, you know very well i'm close to jamal and wouldnt do anything to sabotage his and our candidancy. i hear you're good friends with him too, ma ruunba inaadeero lol? me political? loooooooooooooooool! you've got to be kidding me. anything but politics for me dee lol!

What's worse, is he did not allow the jokes to speak for themselves but went on to bloody explain them (so even the parts I didn't understand, were actually explained to me by the author). It was a truly awful book (and I do have a copy of it at home). The court jester can't be president, ayeeyo. your the same age and look at you NG. stuck in middle management mediocrity. as they say in af-somaali. baaqashi fardaha la daqda.....faras beey ismooda. in english - the mule that feeds with horses - thinks itself a horse.

UCID is a big contender now not only do they have a popular leader now but more crucially because Kulmiye and UDUB are doing so badly. fascinating political commentary there from the stay at home mom who can easily compete with jamal pound for pound on productivity and outcomes.

of the respondees nn is the outsider. of the rest of 'us' there is an even split and its quite obvious NG, NORF and blessed whose web of deception has been exposed are quite clearly jealous of 'our' jamal. the days of the fox are numbered, the days of kleptocracy are over. 'they' know this themselves; we know this becos of the increase in theft, decadency,carnal abuse of power and civic responsibilities and of course criminality, which is synonymous and is a natural trait of the fox. 'we' shall restore the pendulum back to the centre ground lol and shall reign supreme with jamal at the helm. 'we' raised the flag and are the only 'ones' capable of leadership. cheers.

he is not somali if his father is not somali. a thousand year chain of untainted blood will be broken. we must find out his tribe. this is causing me issues.

And just as Jesus spent 40 days and nights in the wilderness of judean desert, Jamal Ali Hussien had only $40 when he first stepped foot on the promised land, no doubt a feat of biblical proportions. Not only was he born to fulfill a 'great destiny' but the whole country is now looking toward his leadership as the one that brings the elusive recognition and so much more. somaliland, could indeed benefit from his benevolent endeavors and his up-until now, somewhat, of a hyped personality. he brings credence and prudence in equal measure. could jamal be the the messiah and indeed bring 'us' salvation? oh jamal, we look to you to redeem us from our misgivings and lead us to deliverance. Jamal was born in Hargeisa, his father hails from burao. Jamal grew up in Beletweyn and Baidoa and graduated from SIDAM in Muqdisho. He represents diversity and differences in its full entirety and this is further compounded by his ability to speak 4 different dialects of the Somali language, he speaks Xamaraawi, af Maay Maay, af Waqooyi and af Baraawe. Jamal is us and we are him, indeed. Jamal is an award winning Somali poet and writer. he's composed more than a dozen songs, scores of film tracks and wrote books in Somali, English and very soon he's adding the final touches to the much anticipated political thriller in Kiswahilli - Haba na haba, hujaza kibaba which means - small things when combined make up big things. further illustrating his belief in the power of the Somali people to create big things, unite and succeed. His English biography is called from Nomad to Harvard, which documents his incredible rags to riches life, its starts with his difficult and poverty-sticken childhood to his eventual and divinely ordained Harvard success. its in the rumour mills that a Hollywood blockbuster with omar epps playing jamal will be made, its already tipped for oscar and bafta success and its not even out. apparently, its also been allegedly that jamal will also produce the score for the movie and will single handedly direct, play himself and edit the movie. Jamaal was Director of one of biggest banks in Africa, Citi Bank Ivory Coast, under his leadership the country economy grew more then 30% annually, Presidential elections were held, corruption was fought. He received the Best Bank Award of the European, Middle east and African markets, EMEA region while hundred of Banks went Banktrupt worldwide.There is also a statute of Jamal outside of Rue Jean Du Africa bang in the middle of the economic capital. Former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo called Jamaal Ali Hussein, an example of the new generation of African leaders, the "Cheetah Generation" who are reashaping the continent. Africa's "cheetahs" are changing their continent by investing seed capital in small businesses such as agricultural programmes, or helping young women to develop small businesses, and social entrepreneurs are bringing their voices to the world stage. These changes and progress deserve more exposure, because they are key to African development.The Cheetah Generation is just what Africa needs now: the combination of the determination of this new generation and the opportunities offered by social networks could form a great alliance that challenges African leaders and builds communities that can take action from a little tweet right to the street. During his time in Abidjan, the Ivory Coast, Jamal was said to have rescued a small child from the clenches of a local militia. he adopted the child and raised her as his very own and gave her the apt entitled name sheba - queen of the monkeys, perhaps and once again demonstrating his awe-inspiring ability to engage with, transform from within and to build society in all its complexities. he's a man of immense courage and we are very proud of him. With such an amazing track record, is this young cat or the somali OBAMA too good to be true? can he bring UCID to the helm? is he able to deliver the high expections bestowed upon him? one thing is for sure; we love you and you make us proud.

oh right! thanks mate. you've clearly made my day, just when i thought it was over. the only thing i have to look forward to now is my date for this afternoon. i don't know what she looks like lol.

i know. you're right this was a pointless and irrelevant stuff i wrote previously on another thread lol.

I think the idea behind the show is commendable, but as is usual, these kinds of shows attract the most narcissistic in the community and as such, they tend to be shallow in "culture" . that's a contested term even more particularly in this context. these american kids are seeking validation through their displays and are attempting to create a sense of identity and belonging. this is to be applauded, i think. this will not be the final stages of the forever evolving nature of somali culture. this is not a representation of the defintive somali culture, it is merely a hybrid culture that is the result of when a group of people migrate from their homes (somali pennisula) to a new home (diaspora). identity is a fluid concept and should not be categorised into two binary categories - good culture and bad culture. instead seek to understand that these allegedly bad cultural tendencies and transformation are the result of new identities that are in essence derived from somali culture. I dont think this is a necessarily a bad thing. I don't think Somaliness or somali culture is being destroyed, rather its an evolving process. This will not be the final stages of the forever evolving nature of somalinimo. Each generation adds something different but its continues to survive. Our generation’s sense of Somalinimo is not a representation of the definitive Somali traditions, norms and values. For me Somaliness is a holistic system of norms, traditions and values which have been slowly developed. It’s not dependent on political authority and has no clear definition since every individual sense of Somaliness varies. You could say it’s also like your own personal value system. Nonetheless, there are elements of Somaliness that all individuals collectively share. These are: Somali ethnicity, Islam, culture, language and tribe (this is more specific depending on individual preference but must still be included in the overall framework of what constitutes Somalinimo). Identity is a fluid concept and should not be categorised into two binary categories - good Somalinimo and bad Somalinimo and as some people have gone further by declaring the notional thought of Somalinimo dead since they are unable to capture its true essence because its manifestations are not contingent on state authority (Political somaliness).

arafat, interestingly enough, i think the macawis has grained prominence due to the collapse of the somali state from the late 80s on-wards. the lack of professional jobs, structures and formal attire made the macawis which was always worn after asr prayer a common feature of the somali fashion trends since then.

i'm so sorry nariah for being so rude. i know the reason why you started this thread was to force a confession from me. i'm sorry i said that your prone to envy and jealousy. i'm sorry i said you're selfish hence why your reluctant to let your sister borrow your clothes. i'm so sorry for calling you a size zero model wannabe. i'm sorry that i said you were self-hating hence why you ignored that breh at mcdonalds. i'm so sorry for all my rude comments that i said to you.

i'd give that salma a good knocking. spoken words, indeed!

AUN

hargeisa taxi company. impressive stuff indeed.
