Mind you, my initial premise was that the huge disparities that exist these days, will in the medium to long term have profound social consequences. Some of these can already be seen across Somaliland. The creation of a stiff-upper lip members of society is evident all across the peninsula. I think this is to be welcome. A society must be organised and have hierarchies.

aaliyah, pls dont make this bigger than it seems. what's baffled me most is; why add someone then delete them. i reckon its because she had a thing for me. anyways, its not like i'm upset by this, so let's end it there. cheers.

lol@archie. Nah, its this little white skanky yat. I didnt add her, so why is she deleting me. anyways, i've deleted all forms of connections with her.

Hi, for some reason, someone who i thought was a 'friend' in the virtual sense, as well as in reality, deleted me off Facebook. I'm shocked. Whatever posessed this person to behave in such an unruly way. I've blocked them for eternity.

What an interesting programme. I love how somalis wherever they are in the world have a no-nonsense policy. we do what we want!

Impressive stuff!

^ dublin is not so impressive. lakiin, agreed london is a joke. i think hargeisa with a little more nightlife would be awesome.

As Libya's National Transitional Council attempts to establish a functioning government for a newly liberated country, the truth about what went on under Muammar Gaddafi's regime is starting to come to light. Various treasures have been unearthed from Tripoli mansions that were hastily vacated by their owners, and what happened to the tortured, the murdered, and the missing is beginning to be revealed. So, too, are some of Gaddafi's dirtiest diplomatic secrets being exposed. On September 2, the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reported on recent negotiations between the embattled Gaddafi regime and Chinese armaments companies - with direct ties to China's government - for contracts worth $200 million. Such contracts were in flagrant violation of the arms embargo instituted under UN Security Council Resolution 1970, which China approved. China's rulers have denied that the secret arms deals were valid, and insist that the government did not authorise them. But a travel report explicitly states that Gaddafi's security officials met with three Chinese arms manufacturers: China North Industries Corp. (Norinco), the China National Precision Machinery Import & Export Corp. (CPMIC), and China XinXing Import & Export Corp. The agenda included not only these companies' available weapons stockpiles, but also the Chinese firms' promise to provide additional weapons if required. "China's rulers have denied that the secret arms deals were valid and insist the government did not authorise them." Gaddafi's turn to China in his hour of desperation is somewhat surprising. After all, he reacted to China's growing activities in Africa - which his officials maintained was "reminiscent of imperialism" - by receiving an official visit in 2006 from Taiwan's then-President Chen Shui-bian. As the pressure from the rebels grew, Gaddafi's last hope for maintaining power became China, and so fear of its influence in Africa was brushed aside. For decades, Gaddafi had behaved as if he were, as his propagandists proclaimed him, "King among African Kings", using his country's abundant oil revenues to provide aid to his neighbours. He announced investments of $97 billion to "free Africa from the West". President Compaoré of Burkina Faso (initially rumoured to be a likely destination for Gaddafi's exile) received military training from Libya in the 1980s before rising to power in a coup d'état. President Idriss Déby of Chad also brought about political change in 1990 with Gaddafi's backing. Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou, who is now harbouring Gaddafi's third son, Saadi, was able to win his country's presidential election in March thanks to financial support from Gaddafi. China courts Africa But, in recent years, China became an obstacle to Gaddafi's African ambitions, and China did so by copying his methods: Buying the support of dictators with weaponry and finance. Since 2000, China has actively courted Africa's unstable and dictatorial countries with offers of aid and a refusal to back United Nations sanctions against them. Indeed, China has blithely entered into business with African countries that Europe and America refuse to engage with, owing to sanctions. International sanctions, it now seems, were the door through which China rushed to gain access to Africa's mineral wealth for its voracious industries. For example, instead of making an effort to foster peace in Sudan, as a permanent, veto-wielding member of the UN Security Council should, China's deep involvement with Sudan, through the provision of oil infrastructure and weapons, actually prolonged the Darfur conflict. A letter to Chinese officials, signed by many members of the US Congress, and a report by Amnesty International state that China exported weapons to Sudan in violation of UN resolutions. The Oscar-winning film director Steven Spielberg embarrassed China by resigning from an advisory post for the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of its support for the government in Khartoum, calling the Chinese games the "genocide Olympics". As Gaddafi fought his opponents this summer, ten states in southern Sudan broke away, claiming independence as the 54th country on the African continent. Roughly 80 per cent of Sudan's oil production of 490,000 barrels per day is concentrated in South Sudan. In 2010, China imported almost half of this output, roughly 250,000 barrels per day, which accounts for about five per cent of China's oil imports. Given its support for the brutal national government in Khartoum, China is now desperately trying to repair relations with South Sudan, so that it can continue to exploit the new country's oil reserves. Like Sudan, Angola, Africa's second largest oil producer, has experienced continued conflict for decades. It was subject to UN sanctions until 2002. Yet, during the years of Angola's pariah status, China provided large-scale infrastructure finance in return for oil. Today, China is the second biggest destination for Angolan oil (the US, which jumped on the bandwagon after sanctions were lifted, is the largest). Indeed, Angola produces more oil for China than Saudi Arabia does, and, at times, as many as 100,000 Chinese workers have been working on Angolan infrastructure projects. China has chosen a high-risk path - ignoring human rights and violating UN sanctions - to secure the energy and other resources needed to sustain its economy's rapid growth. It is a choice that neither befits one of the permanent members of the Security Council, nor demonstrates China's readiness to be a responsible stakeholder in the international community. China's willingness to arm and defend African dictators, even in the teeth of UN sanctions, as in Libya, undermines its claim to a "peaceful rise". Given China's Libyan duplicity, the world should now determine whether it is a country that obeys international rules only when doing so suits its interests. Yuriko Koike, Japan's former Minister of Defense and National Security Adviser, is Chairman of the Executive Council of the Liberal Democratic Party. http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/10/201110192445805195.html

I have been listening to lots of YouTube videos and reading lots of blogs lately and its shocking to see, just how many of 'our' people subscribe to the glamorisation of warlordism, piracy and violence, of Somalia, that is. It’s almost as if they're trying to create a new form of 'Negritude' but a Somalised version. Unfortunately, however, the Negritude that exists today is nothing like the movement that inspired the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920-30s or the growth of Pan-Africanism in pre-independence Black Africa. Instead, It’s a sick and pervasive version that celebrates violence and social destruction. This new wave of 'Niggerisation', as it should be entitled, presents a sad state of affairs as far as Somalis and Negoes-worldwide are concerned. Its nihilism without face, it’s the reverse of norm and it celebrates negativity with conscious pride. What has gone wrong, when a young Somali, without any connection back to the homeland is ‘reppin’ pirates and the violence the ravages ‘Somalia’. This endemic mindset should be offset with a positive response that promotes peace and development, in order to encourage a positive and active involvement. Somaliland youth, for instance, at the very least have a reference point that they can pinpoint with clarity. It appears this ‘Somalitude’ has regional dynamics to it. I suppose, when frustration, social decay and impunity to deference, the rule of law and social order are the order of the day, its no wonder that more Somalis turn to glorifying violence that distorts the collective merits of the Somali will. What I advocating for here is merely to put a stop this insidious new form of Somalitude that celebrates violence,giving it purpose and justification. How will ‘Somalia’ ever achieve peace and harmony, if this destructive mindset envelops an entire generation that could potentially be the key to Somalia’s development? Similarly, we should seek to create a new form of somaliness that is inclusive. see below for some example of these vids; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzCmqzDnCp8&feature=player_embedded

Last night somebody told me that you would be in town I opened up my eyes and you were staring me down I often think about the last times we spent together Ummm hmmmmm And sometimes When no one was around and its just me You serve a special parted memory [x2:] It's our dream to see (oh baby) You here with me (I miss you) After all this time You're still fine (Girl let's chill) For the Weekend (For the Weekend babe, I'd like to chill for the weekend) This morning I awake to find you next to me Holding a long convesation over a green tea baby we speak about the love before Night before And its killing me (no way) I Gotta let you leave (Although) But at least we know That We made another memory Of the Way you Let me love you Hold You You've got me so in love [Chorus:] It's our dream to see You here with me (I miss you) After all this time (baby) You're still fine For the Weekend (you and I) I thank the man above For my Weekend Love [x2:] It's our dream to see You here with me (can you believe) After all this time You're still fine (on my mind) For the Weekend (So let's do you and me for the Week-end) Baby that would be alright

Nuune, you'd be glad to know that I've at least made that intention. everything else is pure speculation, i'm known for my private life. for your info, its rather tacky going to summertime with a prospective date. i'd much prefer to do the hosting behind closed doors.

lol@nuune, the only question i have to ask is; what was the author doing, was she just sitting there looking mentally vacant? dating in h-town is expensive. esp if you are a socialite like JB and IBZ. i'm very fond of the compound setting.
