Wararka ayaa sheegaya in markii ay soo baxday in Goonjeex loo wado raisulwasaaraha ayaa xalay dawladda Ethiopia soo dhexgashay kuna cadaadisay in Xalane lagu baddalo haddii ay Soomaalia Ethiopia Xariir ka rabto taasaana khasabtay isbaddalkan. I pray that this is not true.

Soomalidu waxay yidhadaan "ninku caadi maaha, ma qoslo" when they are describing a real tough man. But that's sheer ignorance yaa u sheega.

Gentlemen, maybe she's not jealous. Maybe she's just finding the president's antics at a funeral disrespectful. Maybe she is being the adult here.

I'm not surprised to learn that landers have a different definition of 'realistic' Sorry man, couldn't help it

This is an excellent development. At least now we know that Somali leaders can sit in the same row. That alone should inspire hope. Also, Silanyo looking sharp. Truly Presidential.

I don't think we should be accusing other people of murder.

Nothing fishy, just visiting their bosses. Btw is that Ciilmooge to the right of Yusuf Islam in the 2nd pic?

Saff, your procrastination is getting extreme. Seek help.

To take a few possible indicators, in relative terms Somalia doesnt have the largest or fastest growing economy, nor does it have the most business start-ups, nor does it have the largest and most successful companies or even up and coming SME's. The largest and most successful Somali company, which dwarfs all other companies, was a product of our civil war. The facts don't agree with the case. Somali history post colonisation. 1960-1968-->client state 1969-1977-->decent dictatorship, 1978-1990-->collapsing state 1991--2013-->war We have done quite well for ourselves considering that history.

If the characters on this thread shared any similarities with the great people of Waqooyi, I would pray that the World recognizes them as a separate and distinct nation from Somalia. Fortunately, the great people of Waqooyi are not spineless, hate-filled instigators of fear and falsehood.

But I believe that most people would rather have income security than take a 'risk' with starting a business and possibly failing. I guess the days of operating a business during the day and working shift work at night to make ends meet are over. I hope more and more people are leaning towards entrepreneurship. I myself am leaning towards it simply for the lack of jobs rather than my entrepreneurial spirit. Even though I have had offers of start-up capital from some friends and family, I haven't yet pulled the trigger. May Allah make it easy for all of us. Why do you say access to capital is easier?

By the way, is there a database for essays by masters and Ph.D students. Would love to read some and counter their perpsective. I once saw a book titled "The power of the majority". I wanted to buy it so that I could doodle X's all over it. +1, as in "May I please, pretty please, get a copy of that essay." Also, just give Hawdian your phone number. Save us all the trouble.
