That fact that you say "Somali" (how that Kenyans refer to the Somali republic, rather than say Somalia), says a lot. When I went back I didnt seen anyone spitting.

Should non-muslim people, people of other faiths, atheists etc. freely be able to live in a future peaceful and stable Somali Republic? Should people of other faiths be freely able to practice their religion and build places of worship?

I can uderstand taking orders from your parents but being controlled and dictated to by your own siblings is a sad situation. Narniah can clarify whether its a case of do as I say not as I do, or whether its true support and guidance.

Bluelicious;881933 wrote: Some mean western dating and others mean halal dating. That is what I want to differentiate between... for example Narniah says she is not "allowed" to date?

What do you people posting in this thread, including Narniah, mean by "dating"?... What is your definition of dating in the Somali context?

Xaaji Xunjuf;881876 wrote: There is lack of fundings for these projects thats why you wont see large scale developments but nevertheless these are developments a year ago there was no stadium in berbera today there is and that is something we should welcome. I don't take issue with the fact that resources are limited because that's well known and an accepted fact. What I take issue with is the problem at the very core of the underdevelopment and perpetual poverty Somalis face. This problem then, and this is something that people here should not be getting defensive about, is the modus operandi of maamul goboleedyada. Their modus operandi is characterised by ineffectiveness, poor leadership, corruption and a deep seated lack of professionalism that trancends every level and layer of governance. What is more important than the amount of resources that you is how well you manage and utilise those resources. Our and their primary failure then, rather than lack of resources, is bad planning, organisation, leadership and managment. For a very long time now in our Somali republic, the private sector has been growing at an astonishing rate and doing remarkably well to provide an array of products and services of decent quality at competitive prices. However, the public sector and national institutions have failed miserably. Incompetence and lack of professionalism is evident at every level of government and public institutions - ranging from the airport staff when you enter the country, to the police, the local councils, "government" ministers and ministries etc. As for the role of leadership, a "president" and government. The role of a leader and aides if to take initiative and provide a national plan and vision and to enact this plan; to always and constantly be planning and think of how and in what way the country can be better run and organised so as to improve the security , opportunities and quality of life of ordinary civillians; to provide a regulatory framework and stable domestic environment in which individuals and private sector organisation can thrive. There is little use to be sitting in a room, seemingly unable or unwilling to do anything and just wait for the haphazard opportunity to claim an "achievement" when a doner country, NGO or private sector actor takes a new initiative or creates an opportunity for tangible development. Having the odd ad-hoc policy idea or simple copy-cat policies are not good enough. These are some examples I can give you of the many failures that are glaringly obvious in the case of scrutiny: the lacking of major laws; crippling disorganisation and ineffectiveness of major national institutions; and lacking of properly designed sector-specific government policies.

Some of us just want more for our people and country than the cringeworthy state of affairs that has been delivered so far. Some of us will not settle for low expectations and incompetence. Markaas bacaacda iska daa oo wax fahan dee.

^ It just shows the current sad state of affairs that something quite frankly as sh!t and embarrasing is being paraded as a huge achievement. He has to look to be doing something regardless how small of an "achievement" or low the quality of the project. Fair enough and understandable if there are a lack of funds, but even at the most basic level of planning and organisation there is failure and incompetence. lol where are the chairs and where is the grass :eek: Whats the use of this when there are folks dying of hunger and thirst... even if they had set up government owned farms with these resources that have been wasted and grown food, that would have been something.

Timely that I came across this. She by Maxamed Xaashi Dhamac 'Gaarriye' Is she milk, is she more, is she buttermilk? Is she bread, is she bread and milk, is she? Would you say she's good luck? Would you say She's a riddle, or maybe the answer? Is she kindness or thought when it's solemn? Is she thought, is she more - an idea? Is she clouds that give rain, clouds that gather, Clouds that bless, clouds that crowd, clouds that linger? Would you say she's good luck, would you say She's the pattern of stars struck at nightfall When the day will bring cloudwrack and rainfall? Would you say she's green growth in the rainfall? Would you say she's the sun in the morning That soaks up the dew, that disperses The mist? Is she water that gathers In pools after rain? Is she moonlight Reflected in pools? Is she starlight So bright when it floods with the moonlight That you're blind to the land that you stand on? Would you say she's green growth that the rainfall Has washed and made sweet? Is she water That lies on the land like a blessing? Is she herself sweet, is she shapely? Is her sweetness the perfume of water? Is she beautiful, thoughtful and clever? Does she live as she should? Does she honour The qualities womanhood stands for? You can see she's not weak and not foolish; You can see she's not lazy and sluttish, Not stubborn or sloppy or rowdy, Neither a shrew nor a nag, she's A woman who keeps a full larder, A woman who'd greet you and feed you. She's the lie of the stars that brings rainfall, Not the set of the stars that brings drought to The lie of the land that you stand on. She's not fat, she's not thin, she is perfect. She is modest - she dresses discreetly - But it's clear that her body is perfect. Oh, Cabdi, you see her as I do - The way that she sways as she walks is The reason I call her Catiya, Catiya, whose walk is a rhythm That chimes with my heart when I see her. In the evening, she brushes her hair from The crown to the tip and the breeze lifts Each strand, so the eyes of the young men Follow the stroke and the windblown Hair as it catches the last of The sun as it sets and makes firebrands, Black but shot through with the sunset. The colour of Catiya's skin is The colour that all women envy. Her eyes, soft and brown, are the eyes of The desert gazelle, while her nose is Perfectly straight and her gums are Black, black as charcoal. Oh, Cabdi, The white of her teeth and the down on Her cheek! Can you see how her waistline Is curved like a spear; can you see how Her arms make an elegant shape in The air as she moves, how her calves flex, How her neck, with its dapple of amber, Lightly creases: the neck of a Houri. There is nothing to fault in this woman, Not a flaw to be found in her beauty. She is never impatient or angry; She never complains. Could you weary Of a woman like that? She could never Lie or be troublesome. No one Ever spoke ill of this women: Her soft speech, her quick mind, her modest Way in the world - this young woman Whose future, I know, will be brighter By far than the star of the evening.
