<cite> @realsomali2016 said:</cite> Thank you for your input. I am back to square one given that I should avoid all the business Ideas I had in mind. If I may ask, What prove do you have that these business strategies are disastrous. Been there. What business did you have in mind, tafaasiil aan kaa sii siiyee ?

<cite> @Mooge said:</cite> lol@sasabka. I don't know why Illyria and Che want Saalax to support the terrorist funding dictator in Hargeisa niyoow. this is the same man who spend fortune to make Galgala mountains hellhole for residents by funding alshabab terrorists through dahabshiil and carrying out daily bombings in bosaso. the governemnt of puntland presented evidence to the IC and puplicly accused siilanyo of having bloood in his hands. niyoow, let us not kid ourselves, the sooner siilanyo goes, the better off every somali is. we don't hate the people of Sanaag West and our H family lived side by side with them for centuries. siilanyo must go niyoow. im sure they dont care for that old fart but wanna be seen as irenic n reasonable. i am sure the fella knows his neck of the woods better than yall

Che iyo illyria ninkaan sasabka ka daaya. cajiib, when did you two become advocates for silanyo.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL i left Somaliland in September after 4 years 11 months and 20 days sxb. 10 days short of my 5th anniversary. i was annoyed. im currently in ATL. its alright but i'll probably be on the move again. NYC or LA beckons lol. That's sad. what forced to move ? are you still using british passport mise qorshe basaboorka mareykanka ku jirtaa ?

Somalis and Naijas are fockin opportunists and economic bandits, dalalkooda dagaal kama socdo but they still tryna migrate.

^ so true, Bal yaa Ghaddafi noo soo celiya kaga taagantahay hada. Foolish Gaalo.

:D

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> Xabad, thanks for getting back to me on this. interesting opinion, you have. i recently watched a documentary on BBC iPlayer about this particular topic. i guess there's some truth in what was been said but some folks took it too far......some of their opinions were bordering on conspiracy theories and stuff. yr wlc sxb are you trolling or you're in ATL ?

<cite> @realsomali2016 said:</cite> How much mullah would it take to start a good business in Somalia. (Ex. Store) I'm directing my question to someone who have knowledge of the current economical situation in Muqdisho. I don't how much it will cost but i can guarantee you if you open a store it will fail. Don't ever go into shop business in Somalia. if you start any business that can be replicated by maryooley you're in trouble, because they are already hundreds of them or they will immediately open shop after you. The only safe enterprises are ones that require technical expertise, that will stump them and they can't copycat you. My advise is to do your homework and find a niche market, avoid the round the mill somali ganacsiyaal and look at something innovative, that is needed back home and neglected by locals and be bold. Business you should avoid at all costs include, restaurants, farmashiyes, trucks, shops of any kind, hotels, importing goods like medicene, fadhi carbeed, darka haweenka iwm. opening up university ku sheeg, land buying, farming, etc. rule of thumb any business maryooley are in avoid like hot tar.

<cite> @Naxar Nugaaleed said:</cite> ^ jeez guy, hyperbole much. As much as disappointed there will be no election, the best way forward is 4.5. A lot has been accomplished by all parties. It is not time to rock the boat. District vote would lead to an imbalanced distribution, a recipe for conflict. Until we can have a one man one vote, Somalia should keep what's working. The timescales involved are over decades, naxar, waxba horay uma socdaan dalkaan, it gets worse and worse every year, eventually the somali speaking bantustans would be folded into the neighboring regional states that know how to govern, somalis can only bicker. say, in 2030, regional states could get bold and take the case to the UN to divide and take over the country formally after years of laying covert groundowrk. this is not a normal country or people, expect the crazy I agree district vote would give D block unfair distribution, that is why PL'ers are lobbying hard for it. 4.5 has proven to be really good idea.

This poor piece is Turkish foreign policy propaganda not journalism. We know Iran and Turkey are at loggerheads.

<cite> @Che -Guevara said:</cite> Honestly, at this point, let's go our separate ways. Soomaali intii israbta hawada noolaadaan intii kale nabad galyo. These !diots were chosen to transition the country to some sort of governance better than the current. The current system has no accountability. The xildhibaans chosen by bribed "elders" that are beholden to no citizen. What have they done for their respective regions? What laws have they passed to smooth the transition? Many of the commissions that were supposed to be setup in the first few months of Xasan's administration are being rushed now. That's why the faith of Somali nation is being decided by self-serving 7 !diots in Kismayo. What we need are institutions! And these people are robbing Somalis of that chance. To keep assigning .5 to our fellow citizens is travesty. It is immoral. What human would like to be referred .5. And as political arrangement, how do we know so called minorities are actually numerically inferior. We confuse violence ( as perpetuated by "big" clans) with sheer numbers. I see your coming to my viewpoint slowly Che, when i was callow hot headed atheist on this board i said the only option for Somalis are to have three or more separate states. NFD would be raped by the kenyans, kilinka 5'aad would be slowly ethiopanized, somaliland would become a kilin of ethiopia, eritrea would takeover djibouti, kenya overtime makes JL a protectorate. Xamar iyo nawaaxiga carabaha hoos tageen, etc. Somalis are too incapable to form a modern nation state, the natural state is to be takeover by those with more capacity. On assigning .5 to some clans, if it is numerically representative, i don't see the problem. infact they are the king makers in this dispensation.

Majority rules Minority ??? what is that^

<cite> @Che -Guevara said:</cite> 4.5 is immoral and indefensible. Only person with no sense of decency would support it. Why ? and what is the alternative.

I hope you all read The Arab Mind by Raphael Patai, which discusses Arab culture, it will talks about a sundry of Arab sexual pathologies, it illuminated for me many things about Islamo Arab culture In Islamo Arab culture the whole family honor indeed the nations is tied to the ird or pelvis of their female members. Moulud Feraoun states in the book "Arab men’s honor was buried in the vagina as if it were a treasure more precious than life". The book also discusses the intense sexuality of Arabs and the exact reasons why these Youfs are acting they way they do.

They are not tourists, i can't guarantee that, they are on some nefarious mission, yet to be known. But never trust those people. Tourism is a dirty word to me, denotes beaches filled with skimpily dressed westerners and a local population that is geared to serve their needs, its rife with sexual immorality and unsavory acts, not a very dignified way to earn livelihood. You should be careful, Che what you promote.

^ Salty qabyaalad cuqdad masquearding as constructive criticism. Shamitadaan meesha lagu khasaariyay kulaha. Funny thing is a fellow Gedo-ite Saacid approved this project over the objections of the HAG camp, and that one of main reasons he was removed by Daaman buurne

<cite> @Saalax said:</cite> The problem seems to be the newcomers Arabs. Like Galbeedi said though the more established Arabs in west don't behave like this, so there is a hope for them after-all. Even among the Arabs, the North Africans aka Maghrebis are the worst.
