A proud Somali Nomad has all the freedoms he needs. What we need is not the white mans forms of freedoms curved in stone, but rather directions, boundries and limits to those freedoms he naturally posseses.

The constitution doesnt state that English and Turkish are official languages. But maybe they translated the constution in to those languages.

Xaaji, i disagree. Coastal and Marine security is about much more then piracy. For example combatting illegal fishing and protection against pollution, explotation of marine resources, improving coastal livelihoods and infrastructure. There should be one big road between Ras Kamboni to Jabuuti.

Xaaji, how could you have missed this important development on the first Inter-Government Organisation in the Horn of Africa.

http://www.waayaha.net/view.php?articleid=16669 The launch of an Intergovernmental Academy of Somali Language As Somalis the world over were reveling in the independence day celebrations of June 26th, June 27th and July 1st, a series of equally historic events were taking place in Djibouti to launch the first ever Intergovernmental Academy of Somali Language. The Academy is being created by the governments of Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somaliland with the expressed purpose of safeguarding and developing the Somali language, officially recognized by the Academy of African Languages (ACALAN) as an important vehicular cross-border language that links the Horn of Africa region. The historic events in Djibouti included a meeting of experts on the Somali language and literature, a ministerial conference to discuss the role of the governments concerned, and a public launch where ministers from the signatory countries detailed their plans and support for the newly-created Intergovernmental Academy of Somali Language. The official launch of the Intergovernmental Academy of Somali Language took place at Kempinski Hotel on June 26th to coincide with the day in 1960 when the first Somali region gained independence. The event was opened and closed with performances by the celebrated Djiboutian 4th of March Band, which enthralled the audience with traditional songs and dances in a skillful bid to highlight the cultural ties that bind the countries of the Horn. Among those in attendance were the ministers responsible for cultural affairs in Djibouti, Somalia, Somaliland, Puntland and the Somali region of Ethiopia whose delegation was led by their vice-president. Also present were other ministers, parliamentarians, journalists, linguists and intellectuals from the participating countries. Included in these were members of the Steering Committee of experts who in the past six months have engaged in a meticulous preparatory work, including the preparation of the basic documents and a consultative tour throughout the Horn. Members of the general public were also present in their hundreds. Ministers of the represented national and regional governments took turns to speak about the need for the common academy and their governments’ commitment to its success. Led by the young and energetic Djiboutian Minister of Culture, Islamic Affairs and Endowment, the ministers signed on the official agreement that established the intergovernmental body in public view at the end of the event. The successful launch event was preceded by an expert meeting held on June 25th at the IGAD Headquarters Hall in Djibouti. In addition to sharing knowledge on Somali language and its literature, the meeting, attended by experts from the Horn and beyond, reviewed and validated the work of the nine-member expert committee tasked by the participants of the international conference on the Somali language held in Djibouti on 17-21 December 2012 to do the ground work for the establishment of the Academy. The recommendations of the experts and others in parallel consultations were presented to the ministers responsible for cultural affairs in the above countries and regional states who met separately to deliberate on the tasks at hand. The outcome of their meeting included: an agreement on the step by step establishment of the Academy starting with a transitional phase of 12 months from July 2013; the appointment of a 13-member interim board to manage the work of the Academy during that time; and the convening of a General Assembly at the end of that period where heads of state from the countries concerned or their representatives will review and ratify the final agreement establishing the Academy in full. The list of the elected interim board is as follows: Dr. Mohamed Dahir Afrah – Chairman Mohamed Ibrahim Warsame “Hadraawi” – Vice-Chairman Dr. Abdirashid Mohamed Ismail – Vice-Chairman Dr. Abdinasir Ahmed Ibrahim – Vice-Chairman Burhan Warsame – Secretary Dr. Hibo Moumin Assowe – Treasurer Said Salah Ahmed – Member Amb Salah Mohamed Ali (Sharif Salah) – Member Prof. Abdalla Omar Mansur – Member Ahmed Sheikh Jama – Member Ahmed Sheikh Abdirahman – Member Ahmed Mohamed Suleiman – Member Mohamed Guutaale – Member.

So far the talks have led to agreement on the first Inter-Government Agencies on Somali Air Traffic control. The next point on the agenda should be on, the Coastal Security, Fisheries and Marine Resource Protection.

Which sub-clan is that Xaaji.

The negroid wannabe shaikh memorized Arabic gibberish and is rather pleased with himself, the master meanwhile has worn out and interested look. Arabic imperialism is not something to be proud of, Akhas. SOL should not condone these kind of anti-islamic and inciting comments. We should censure this, just like we censure clan incitement.

There is a dire needs for regional/provincial Councils of Elders that are real representatives of the respective local communities. Consisting of the mayors and heads of villafes in each Province. So an Awdal, Maroodi Jeex, Sanaag, Saaxil, Sool, etc Provincial Councils or Guurtis. And these Regional bodies should select their representetives to the National Guurti.

All I am saying is we look nothing like Arabs, white, and Asian. Members of the Arab League that share the same cultures, language and pretty much have citizens that look alike 100%: (by look alike I mean their physical appearance and not as in identical twins) Yemen Jordan UAE Kuwait Syria Iraq Saudi Arabia Palestine Kuwait Qatar Tunisia Oman Morocco Lebanon Algeria Bahrain Egypt Mauritania The people of Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti and Comoros don't look nothing like the people of the aforementioned Countries. If religion is the reason why Somalia is part of the Arab League, then ALL Muslim countries should be part of the Arab League. Interesting thread Classified. However, I think you generalize a bit on the similarities between those countries you have summoned up. First, those countries dont share the same pychsical appearances. You would be suprised by the nr of 'blacks' in those countries. Neither do they share the same linguestics. Both Algeriya, Marroco have a majority of Berber(Semitic language) speakers. But they do share one thing though, they all fall under the Arab cultural influence sphere. The same goes for Somalia, Comores, Djibouti and Sudan. You cant deny the significant Arab influences on Somali culture, traditions and even language. My point of vieuw. Why limit ourselves? Why try to narrowly define our heritage. If you ask me Somalia should become member of the Commenwealth, Turki League, South African Union, North African coalition, Cushitic Nations league, Indian League, Bangladeshi Unity, Farzi Union of Nations, Italian speaking League.

Al Jazeera Documentary on the Muslim Brotherhood For years the Muslim Brotherhood was officially banned by Egypt's government, but following the 2011 revolution, the fall of Hosni Mubarak and the country's first free parliamentary elections, the Brotherhood - with its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party - has emerged as Egypt's most powerful political force. This documentary puts the recent military coupe against the Muslim Brotherhood in historic perspective.

Handsomely-mounted historical epic concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet Mohammed -- who, in accordance with the tenants of Islam, is never to be depicted (as this is against certain Islamic schools of thought). In Mecca in the 7th century, Mohammed is visited by a vision of the Angel Gabriel, who urges him to lead the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of Kaaba and instead worship the one true God, speaking out against the corrupt political and military leaders who rule Mecca. With the help of his uncle, a brave warrior named Hamza (Anthony Quinn), Mohammed and his followers return to Mecca to liberate the city in the name of God. The Message (originally screened in the U.S. as Mohammed, Messenger of God) proved to be highly controversial during its production and initial release. Unfounded rumors had it that Mohammed would not only be depicted in the film, but that he was to be played by Charlton Heston or Peter O'Toole. This resulted in protests by some Muslim, until director Moustapha Akkad hired a staff of respected Islamic clerics as technical advisors. The Message was shot in two versions, one in English and one in Arabic (entitled Al-Ris-Alah), with different actors taking over some of the roles due to language requirements.
