Clever indeed, "Correction. Waa sadix habro, a side dish of Riyaale cousins, a sprinkle of Atam's boys and the LA cherry on top."

This was a brilliant undertaking, and kudos to Somali women wherever they might be ...

Whatever the Garaad called it, it is his to lance the boil whichever way he fancies, no? He is the Garaad of Bosaso as much as he is the Garaad of Buhodle, so maxaa uga gidhiish ah gabanada 3-da habrood? This was funny, and yes they truly are slow. "they are slower than a turtles"

From D.C area by way of Somali Galbeed of a prominent Somali family; a student of politics, used to work for the World Bank and other UN agencies, formerly a Wallad Abdalla confidente and an erstwhile Yusuf's Chief of Staff - the man rumoured to have orchestrated Yusuf's downfall.

Though it hardly matters at this juncture who shall serve as the next premier, the most likely candidate (premier in waiting for a while) is Mohamed A/risaq.

Nicely done Duke; that is only a glimpse, for what is not seen is even far prettier and better; may it grow in many folds ...

Bariidasan Nasir, Holhol iyo Buurawadal ayaa ahaan in dhawaale. Waar waaxay meeshan aad gelgelinta dhidir ka dhigteen?

Or is it? Maxamuud Foorteen oo Beeniyey War La Faafiyey - (Wareysi Gaar ah Dhageyso) Gubadle : “Ciidan Dhawr Gaadhi ah ayaa noo yimi si Loo Qarameeyo” (Dhageyso)

In that case, how about these: Khoori, Khaal, Khaymad, Khalkhal, Khamarji, Khaakhuus, Khaanad, Khille, khumkhum, khuuro iwm

Midhkaasi waa i dhacay; and that was how I understood it having being alerted that MMM was after the letter ‘Kh’, and not ‘Q’, but Maaddeey still adamant. "^Waar ninku "kha" ayuu u jeeday dee"

Perhaps I did not quite get it; let us re-read it together, shall we? Dadka 'kh' iyo 'q' ku wareera waala yaqaan. Mida koowaad xarafka 'q' Afsoomaaliga kuma jiro, koow dheh. Tan labaad, Carabiga laga keensaday, laba dheh. Sadexaad, 'q' meel ee 'q' ka tahay ayaa 'kh' ka dhigtaa, ee ma'aha Reer Koonfureedka ku dhawaaqidooda ee waa adiga fahansanayn ama kala saari la' xarafyada 'q' iyo 'kh.' Tan shanaad Soomaalidii Afsoomaaliga qoray in '70s 'kh' waxee u dhaafeen ereyada asalkooda Carabi kasoo jeedo oo 'nouns' ah sida magacyada iyo meelaha (i.e. mukhtaar, makhtal), ereyada Carabta 'kh' ka dhigtaan oo Afsoomaali ku jiro oo Carabi kasoo jeedana oo aan noun ahayn 'q' ayaa la isticmaalaa (i.e. qaldan, qafaal). Erey Soomaali oo wada asali ah 'q' kama bilowdo, kumana jirto, sida dadka qaarkood ugu wacaan ereyga barqad ama magaca Barqadle 'barkhad' ama Barkhadle oo qaldan. Baro afkaaga intaadan iska hadlin dad dhana eedeyn see u hadlaan.

Yes, forgot that one, khumkhum, khuuro etc.

Khoori, Khaal, Khaymad, Khalkhal, Khamarji, Khaakhuus, Khaanad, Khille iwm

Are these not Somali? Qoor, Qallac, Qamaan, Qori, Qabaal, Qaybe, Qumane, Qalanjo, Qoofal, Qool, Qayb, Qaalin, Qosol, Qaylo, Quraanjo, Qalayl, Qoryooley, Qaawan, Qaran, Qaac (Qiiq) wim. "Erey Soomaali oo wada asali ah 'q' kama bilowdo, kumana jirto."

There you go again, politicising the good efforts of the locals (hardworking mums) and the UN agencies. Give credit where it is due – UNESCO along with multiple other non-governmental agencies. It has no bearing whatsoever to do with secessionist policies. The same applies to other regions of Somalia. And by the way, in what language one studies should hardly matter, so long as one I can read and write. Till then,
