Indeed. Sxb, I was lucky to meet him. Actually I was asked to write the Dutch speech for his speech and receive the Ambssador during meeting and he was a lot of fun and we are friends now. He invited me to Dar es Salaam.

I think of Ngonge. Citing the quran one moment and another moment bragging about his Hugo Boss suit and his hydratic L'oreal facecream. Shallow Arab's.

I am afraid it will take a while and a lot of effort to become part of the East African Community. But fortuantly EAC see Somalia as a potential member once [somalia get its act t ogether. As Amb. Juma Volter Mwapachu, former Secretary General of EAC, told me. He was being awarded a prize by the Queen herself here in Holland and being crowned as the new President of Society of International Development. Juma is a viosonary leader, he brought and developed the EAC to what it is today. Since his leadership the 3 country bloc expanded with Ruandan, Burundi and now South Sudan applied for membership. It's exppanded its mandate from being only a paper border control system for goods and people developed in to a real Trading bloc with its own Trade Politics and negoitiating with other countries as bloc. Countries specialising on certain sectors and adding value to eachother. This where we should heading to, we should be heading up. Creating added value for our people. And not down and adding more fire to little village clan politics.

What is Buuba or Kaluun's position in TFG? Xusseen Carab Ciise is from Xamar and has nothing to do with Somaliland. The same goes for The head of the High Court. Born and bred in Jubba's.

Khadija, Xaawo, Xalimo, Fatumo, Fardoos, Fahiima, Farxija. Give her a typical name.

I thought there were like 200.000 Somali's in Minnesot. But there are not even that many black's. How many are Somali's?

Buurmadow could help out it Galkacyo. He proved succesfull negoitiater with clan militia's from Mudug.

You are ignorant. Have you ever been in Berbera? Or Muqdisho. Somali's are per definition an ethnicly unique afro cushitic arab people. Ethnicly, culturally, that is what makes us Somali's and unique.

Boqor Buurmadoow is a friend of Somalia. And he granted asylum to Cadde Muuse and his militia and later mediated the peace between Cadde Muuse and Abdullahi Yusuf and thus in Puntland. He should be granted a Nobel Prize. You should nominate him Duke.

Xaaji, arent some of your family members Somali-Ethiopians?

Khatumo is his change money. Without change, you have not much to offer. Quite a good move. Somaliland wants something, now he can demand something(and offer Khatumo) as change.

Wadani;799601 wrote: Carafaat, ur confusing ethnic identity with citizenship/national identity. Not all Somali citizens are ethnic Somalis (eg Somali bantu, reer xamar) and not all ethnic Somalis are Somali citizens (eg reer djibouti). But nonetheless all citizens of Somalia are our fellow countrymen and we love them. One last point, the Arab admixture in Somalis is so negligible it needn't not be mentioned. We are an ancient cushitic race, that are related to other cushites such as the Oromo, Afar, Saho, Rendille and the Beja, while Arabs on the other hand are Semites. The coastal somali's have mixed with Arab's, Hindi through the centuries. Others have mixed with Bantu. Who are you to determin what percentage is cushitic or arab, hindi or bantu in my blood?

Ngonge, gardaro ayaad wadaa. Laakinse waan ka horeeyaa, I have a dozen of alibi's and witnesses. XX and JB can testify for my blood lineage, Abtigiis can vouch for my political ideals, Somalina can testify for my ciyaal xafadnes and Alpha Blondy is a witness and can testify I am Eurotrash, you can see how he ignores Euro threads. Only my manlyhood has no SOL witness. Any volunteers?

Sxb, its to proof a point. There seems to be a lot of ignorance about the Somali idendity. They are all Somali's, doesnt make sense to diffrentiate between Bajuni, Bantu, Jahreer, Baraawe, Marka, Shangani, maxaa tiri, maay, Banadiri!, berberaawi, waamo, xamari. I have even a lady in Somalia, somali-hindi, looked nothing hindi, but her clan was hindi. Her name was Xalimo. Above all they were all Somali.

Can anyone claim those kids in the picture´s are not Somali:D

This thread is dedicated to the most beautifull people of the entire world, the Somali. The Somali are gracefull, confident, resilliant, their ancient Afro Cushite Arab roots are still visible to this day, combining the best of all.

meqa la iga siina. Laakinse, I dont think most folks look close like me, unless you from Shangani and Shibis, tall, muscled and have Banjuni hair.
