Reer Khatumo ilahay ha daayee iyagu waa iska Somaliland inyar oo wareersan mooyaane. Laakiin Oodweyne, nimankan rer puntland so kuwan weli Garoowe caasimad u tahay iyadoo ciidanka Somaliland duleedkooda fadhiyo, oo weliba half an hour ku qabsan karo? Anigu waxaan islahaa beri hore ayay caasimadda qardho ama boosaaso u wareejinayaane. War nimanku geesisanaa:D:D

Oodweyne, some matters need to remain state secret, Puntland is putting the final touches on their Schleifen plan to attack Somaliland. Rumour has it that all the boats and warships which have been financed by the pirate money is ready. Intelligence reports indicate they wish to come by sea and first lay siege to Berbera, I wonder what steps Somaliland is taking to counter these interesting developments. Some go so far as saying the attack will be more spectacular than that of Germany in world war 1, hence the 7 year delay since 2007 lool.

Well this is sirta nolosha from the Somali Shakspear Hadraawi.

Lool@ "hadday geesiyad tahay xabashi la dagaalamai maysee habaryartaa iyo eedadaa bay beerka ka garaacaysaa." Waa runtii.

I could not make head or tail of this video. I can see one or two people are dead. But the surprising thing is how they are casually carrying on and keep talking as one person is dying. No rush, no run him to the hospita, nothing.

What is it with people from central Somalia and annexing other peaceful Somalis' lands, and this is the same both in the jubbas and lower shabelle? Granted central Somalia is hot, barren, and almost inhospitable, but thats no excuse for the HAG and their Jubba counterparts to force their way into territories that do not belong to them, and try and administer them on top of that. Dadkan isku xishooda yaa ku yidhaahda niyow! At least in the jubbas these quarrelsome tribes that are planning to set up an illegal state can claim they reside the place, but what baffles me is how some one from dhuuso mareeb can try and rule someone in Merka in this day and age! Do they wish to this cycle of violence to just keep going even after 22 years? Ilahay amarkiis badanaa!

The government will get the the upper hand with regards to this jubba issue, and very soon. The clan warlords currently in charge will have to yield sooner or later and agree to make to process more fair. They have to whether they like it or not, they just have no choice lol.

Whenever a punch of SNA soldiers are pictured, its a must that it contain a few blokes who look 50 and 15. Those guys should be banned from fighting. I understand they need the money, but cammon, at least its better than them dying lol.

This president and PM are honest people who are doing their job as well as they can. The government is doing exactly as its suppose to and moving as fast as it possibly can. And if people have any sincerity they will take into consideration the countless obstacles this government is facing, the number of selfish groups with oposing interests, the lack of security and stability to the point where all its institutions are under daily threat from terrorists and armed groups, the inability to generate its own wealth to finance projects,- I mean cammon give the guys a break will ya! its not as if they are angels sent from heaven with the power of malak jibril and can clean the mess of the past 22 years in the blink of an eye. Be patient please.

Rahima in that case may be we should just let Al shabab take over the entire country, so far they seem to be the only group who are allergic to qabiil, regionalism, warlords, and foreign armies. I despise them, but may be, just may be if we let them do the hard tasks of uniting the people, eradicating ailments like qaad and qabiil, we can get rid of them at a later stage all at once and set up a healthy government from scratch. Of course we are gonna have to find a sollution for economic sanctions and drone strikes from the evil empires of the world, and forgo basic freedoms like watching the world cup or listenning to qaraami music in the mean time lol.

These silly qabiil states need to be subjugated once and for all, preferably by diplomacy but seing as thats not working by force if necessary. Every man and his dog want to carve up some territory, which in most cases does not even belong to them and have the nerve to instruct the government what and how to proceed. How is any progress to be aachieved if power hungry warlords want to keep innocent people hostage, and their ignorent clansmen want ululate for them rightly or wrongly? Take these Jubaland nonsense for example; just who the hell do these warlords and their flock think they are?! Diplomacy and walalayaal is tried and it failed. If they do not submit to the will of the government they should be b.tch slapped lol, enough is enough. Same with all the other Southern states, we need to build a modern democratic state where the central government has absolute power, and qabiil nonsense should be completely eradicated. And someone should tell people from puntland to shut upp and behave like everyone else or else lol. Wasalamu caleykum.

Loool bal ilahay amarkiis the Somali women in uniform cracked me up. Its as if they were not taking the whole thing serious. Otherwise this has been an informative thread lol

Saleban gaal is too tough though, and usually other politicians are scared of him. How are they gonna pull it off?

Suldan oo marka saad u joogtaad iska riyootaa miya? And this is not a one off thing but on a reular bases? War illen tano kale!

I think the thread starter was born on top of a tree in order to have started a lame thread like this. Have you not heard of Salaan Carrabey and Hadraawi waryaa?

"..Sidoo kale Cali Dheere ayaa fariin u diray shacabka Puntland, isagoo sheegay inay soo dhowaatay xilligii ay heli lahaayeen sharaf iyo karaamo, isla markaana ay ka bixi lahaayeen gumeysiga iyo dhibka lagu haayo..." Lool, ma gacmohoo daka laga gooyo ama suuqyada oo lagu karbaasho ayaa sharaf iyo karaamo ah? Horta wadaadani ma gaastay cabaan niyow, anigu waaba ka shakiyee??

Seriously though, let me say in my defence, that I was initially speaking in General terms. Ninkani si fiican buuba u hadlayaaye, kuwo waxaan arkay sheeganaya inay community leaders yihiin, oo hadana aan laba eray isu keeni karin. Indho adaygoodana intay national TV soo istaagaan bay rabaan inay English ku hadlaan. Waa ceeb waxaasoo kale, anigu haddaan sidooda oo kale ahaan lahaa waan is qarin lahaa.

If we could just forget about what happened to the Aboriginals, and the White Australia Policy; One can quickly appreciate the fact that Australia is the greatest country on earth. You never see Somalis or Asians complain, what is it with Arabs and Indians? Such weaklings if you ask me lol.

Aaliyyah;902174 wrote: Just because he is speaking English, does that mean he is pretending to be an English journalist?..war bal eega fuuduushan LOL..and why does he had to call someone else to speak on his behalf when he did a fine job interviewing this woman. As Reeyo said above some somalis have an accent. And that is nothing to be ashamed of. Dadka qaar af ingriisi wax wayn mooda. Qofkasta mar bu luqad bartaa hadey noqoto af ingriisi iyo afkaleba. I did not say anything about an accent although I could've been a bit clearer about the way I phrased it. Of course even those who speak the language very well will have some sort of an accent because its not their first langauge. Laakiin kani caadi buu luuqadii ba ugu tuntay. Intuu jejebiyey buu hadana ku joog joogsadey. Markaasuu hadana dhulka kusii jiidey lol. Yacni khasab feedh iyo fara laab buu ku wadey, basic grammar baan ka hadlayaa anigu. PS: Ingiriisi wax weyn ma moodo anigu walal, cadaanka naftirkoodaan mar mar af somali kula hadlaa just to humour myself lol.

If I may ask you sijuis a random question; is there a way I could re-learn Kiswahili again? I spoke it fluently, but never actually learnt to write it even though I had few lessons and it looked really easy. I didn't speak it for 15 years and have since forgot. If I go back to Kenya or any of those other countries where its the spoken I'm sure it wont take me more than 6 months to speak it well again and even write it perfectly, but is there way I could teach it myself whilst living in a western country?

Garnaqsi, Plain writing is always better, and just because one writes in Victorian does not mean they can not be understood by presentday readers. Bertrand Russel, just like George Eliot above also writes in Victorian and for some reason I find their works much easier and quicker to get into than Mr Farah. But thats just me I guess, or its just that I havan't read him extensively.

Garnaqsi, Nurudin is very talented, but I think he over does it. His books can be hard just to get into sometimes. All the other authors coofle mentioned are flawless though, Nabokove included ofcourse.

Horta why do all Somalis speak English exactly the same? And why do they pretend to be journalists in languages they can not speak properly? Its utterly annoying. Bal muu af somali iskaga hadlo oo ciyaalka xaafadda mid ku yidhaahdo war ii turjum? And the lady is full of crap, I don't think the said minstry discriminates against any one based on race when it comes to housing. Waa first come first serve. Too bad If the Somalis are better at calculating than whites when it comes to getting the new houses lol.

Uselss article. Not that I bothered to read it, but then it doesn't take much of an einstein to figure out what an article starting with mr so and his clan is going to contain lol.
