Hadaba 'cool' iyo rif-raf isma laha ee arlada ha laga fadhiisto. Yacni I see no genuine debate OR even substantive points being made. Its just petty mallaayacni and tit-for-tats.

What is all this bickering, buuq and qaylo about. Odayaalyahow isdejiya oo rif-rafka iska dhaafa.

Part of putting yourself in the public spotlight is scrutiny, its unavoidable. Particularly if one is a real politician, so take note yaa Siyaasi

It has to be fake. There is no other explanation. Gold-plated perhaps? :confused:

Congrats and good luck to the new president.

someone post his speech from the other day. Now im more interested to watch what he had to say. His policies etc. We have replaced the teacher with a teacher. but does this teacher have any policies and plans?

Professor Samatar for PM!!! Inshallah.

Many thanks to Lazygirl, your not that lazy after all We appreciate all your hard work. Although I started to question whether you work for the UN and this is part of your job or somthing lol. Your dedication to posting was quite something else. Mahadsanid once again.

She does not have a Somali name. b) Its possible that she is teaching those folks how to pray etc. c) Never believe what you are told face-value - often its incorrect or misguided. Sometimes its good not to make assumptions.

Marka ugu horaysa waa in dowlad jirta, la aqoon sanyahay oo "due process" la aqoonsanyahay ku abuurantay la dhiso. Muhiimada waxa weeye inaynu la soo noqono xidhiidhka, iskaashiga iyo wada-tashi toos ah ee aynu la yeelan karno dowladaha iyo haayada kale' ee calamka. - Wadankeena iyo budhcadbadeedka waxay I soo xasuusiyaan Baakistaan iyo Talibaanka. Waxa weeye a semi-controlled chaos from which the 'government' and/or 'elite' benefit. - Bakistaan dhanna' waxay dhehaan Taliban ayaanu la dagaalanaa, oo lacag, hub iyo tababarba maraykanku ku siiya. Dhanka kalena iyagii ayaa Talibanka caawinaaya oo xittaa hub siinaaya. - Waa inaynu budhcadbadeedka wadno, oo aan beryahan la joojinin. Waa in maraakiib la qabsado, every now and then. - Waayo, budhcadbadeed waa inaynu isticmaalno si aynu u muujino, dunidana u xasuusino muuhiimada dalkeena. Maadaama meesha muuhiimka iyo istratiijiyada ah ee uu ku yaalo. Leverage waxa la dheho ayaa inooga kordhaaya. - Hase' ahaatee hadana waa inaynu/dowlada cusubi caalamka ka dhaadhicino/so inaynu 'actively' 'la dagaalamayno' budhcadbadeedka ( inaga dhab ma ahan laakiin). - Waayo waa in dowladaha caalamka iyo qaranada midoobay ay caawimo inaga siiyaan; qalab ahaan, hub ahaan, hab ayaah, tababar ahaan, iyo wixii kale' ee aynu u baahano. Stick-ga waxaynu ku daraynaa 'carrot' macaan. Intanynu shirkadaha waaweyn ee laga leeyahay waddannada Galbeedka iyaga toos ula hadalno ayaynu been ugu ballan qaadaynaa inay si riqiis ah badeenna kalluunka ka gurtaan - keliya' haddii ay cidhiidhi iyo lobbying saaran dowladahooda inay inaga ina caawiyaan. - Taasi waxay inoo furaysaa jidad wadahadal, iskaashi iyo wada tashi aynu la yeelano dowladaha caalamka. Iyo inaynu dhisano ciidan baddaha iyo xeebaheena inoo ilaaliya, oo tababar, hub iyo qalaba la inoo siiyo. - Waa inaydun fahamtaan, choas in small doses is tolerable and tolerated, but complete and utter chaos, no so much.
