Having said that awoowe human nature factor is a force to reckon with. There is something about them ladies that compel manly men to appreciate their curves. Now when they start revealing thier feminine beauty or in this case notch up a bit and do the dizzying niiko of behind wareejiyoow , the lowering gaze exercise becomes uphill battle, No? That's when manly-men juices start flowing and all of the sudden the H-factor kicks in and before amigo knows the hunt is on...digits given, date set, moves made, concession, one thing after another and bingo! touch down. It comes with the territory baba Make no niiko iyo dib walaaq, nacamleyn, and def no war. straight talk yes

Oops! I take that^ comment back . I checked the M&M factory mzee Castro was referring to and my goodness that section is so crowded I couldn't even got chance to read all the replies and the story itself. Well done.

Here is late hambalyo Amelia. Good for ya sis.

Niiko is a provacative dancing. Girls wearing malindi dress and tying their garbasaar around their behind for sexual emphasis and shaking their behind for the benefits of spectators is what's this all about No? Now I start having difficult time lowering my gaze when the groove gets going and chicks get down on shaking their tails...this alone makes the whole thang ummm well dirty dancing

Speaking of Israeli hold on American foreign policy, here is a timely analysis done by two authors that have inside knowledge of how upper echelons of Washington power circles go about making foreign policy decisions particularly policies toward Middle East. Wallahi I’m impressed by Israeli lobby in America. They are almost flawless in their lobby execution when it comes to advancing Israeli state interests in the region. The authors are making two provocative arguments. One US leaders put the country’s interest in the back burner and instead advance policies that jeopardize the long term interest of the US state. Second Israel-American powerful lobby is behind this misguided policy. Media the fourth branch of American government do the bidding for this powerful lobby by hyping trivial concerns and ignoring through factual omissions the real deal and truth of the world events. If you are one of those nomads who would like to get informed on the true nature of things not the cosmetic façade propagated by the ruling elite this is a must read essay. Don’t forget to look the other side of the coin namely the critics who dismiss these critical voices as confused folks who see conspiracy writings on the wall in everything USA foreign policy. That way you become a well rounded kinda person. ------ Israel Lobby Critics of the essay

loooooooool@ Betros Qhaali added that clause to UN resolution for his native country's sake. Now this is funny. Waryee sow addiga dhex fariistay awoowe Dang! Oh How mighty Betros has been in his days on the throne eh Suldaan respect of territorial integraty of independent member states has been an integral part of UN charter since early seventies. In regards of the question: how you demarcate a clannish border well I gotta tell ya straight up it is very difficult task to accomplish. Which begs the question where the hell is the Puntland border ? Ahem Puntland authorities maintain that current clan territories be used as starting point. Puntland also claims that all ***** -inhabited areas as the exclusive domain of Puntalnd state. Also PL authorities proposed that the resolution of disputed (by clans) areas as well as shared areas such as Ceeri Gaabo city be postoponed to later unespecified date. SL authorities stick to the former British Protectorate territories being under their jurisdiction a claim they base solely on the colonial era not the actualities on the ground. The challenge is what country in the world would dismiss Puntlands claims and under what ground? Why would any country take sides in a dispute between two recovery zones that enjoy relative peace and seem to be doing well under the status quo. Open this Pandora box and there is no way of getting the genie back into the bottle. The fact that no one is even mediating between them speaks volumes of how low key the whole issue realy has been in the eyes of the powers that be. Back to Montenegro analogy. Yoguslavia is not contesting the Montenegro's right to secede whereas Somalia is contesting the SL's right to secede. Montenegreans despite their political differences seem to accept the Montenegro's government as legitimate authority. This is not the case in our neck of the wood buddy. War biyooy wiilka waa na xiijiyay

Well let's start with Montenegro. The 44% who voted NO have taken part of the voting process which means they recognize the authority of Montenegro as a legitimate government for Montegnerians No? Well in the SSC case not only did they reject the clan authority of "duriyada" as their political representative of their corner but they have also boycotted the referendum you keep reminding us everytime this issue comes up. How you delineate the clan border? Exactly! Now you are now thinking buddy. How the hell do you demarcate a clannish border is the million dollar question? But have Hargeisa secessionists ever bothered answering this question? No. Awoowe Somalia insist preserving its territorial integrity in spite of current political turmoil that engulfed the state. Surprisingly enough international community agrees Somalia on this assertion. May I remind you that even Ethiopia of all countries have been compelleed to clarify and make public statement on the status of its commercial attachee in Berbera. Talk about being civilized and what not and respecting international norms well look at you buddy! Why can't you respect the fact that Somalia is a country in turmoil and anyone who wants to dismember in violation of international rules is a deviant numero uno By all means build the region, advance the peace, develop, invest, build the civic institution, wave the flag, and what have you but for crying out loud don't declare a unilateral separation and drag along entire communities who want to stay with their brethren. Don't speak on their behalf thank you they can and do speak for themselves loud and clear and don't tell me you doing this because you have been colonized by the same white b a s t a r d. This is unbecoming of you Suldaanoow! These folks don't want to be reminded that shameful period of their hiostory let alone using colonial era as justification for seceding from the rest of the country.

^not even close Hey Scarlet no pun intended baayo

As Xiin said the other day Suldaan is no boolo Along Ayoub, Oodweyne, and Tolstoy he is indeed a mouth to reckon with Awoowe xaasha is xagxaganmeyno. Let's be civilized about this and do the right thang aight. Let's ask Puntland areas that Somaliland has claimed as part of its country ask if they want to secede. What's good for the gander is also good for the gooze kinda deal. Fair? What say you Prince of SL? I'm not for anyone seceding in any form or dhape whatsoever. I just want you to tast your own medicine the pill you recommended other Somalis should swallow for their own good

Morning breeze with sunrise like this is...Iceland Walk this way...mountain climbing.Iceland.. Fiola..Iceland Sunrise...Iceland Old farm now museam...Iceland Waterfall...

Are you sure the deal is only four year deal Duke? Do you really believe they can extract the alleged oil reserves within four years time? If the answer is affirmative I guess you are right we oughta cut Cadde's admin some slack on this one.

And why should we pay attention to this case SL prince? My bad umhh yeah there is an analogy btw our case and that of former Yoguslavia eh Oops! everybody duck here comes Tolstoy and Oodweyne and their blinding over-stretched analysis of how this case has bearing on our corner Bring it on I say Nah! I'm busy today but I get a minute or two to touch a nerve or two and make my buddy Oodweyne's day a lil more exciting.

I'm missing something here! What is this all about again? Is it about federalism vs. foreign investment and what entity has jurisdiction over this area? TFG incompetence? or Cadde and Co.'s greed and naivety? I tell ya what! regardless of who dismisses who and how Geedi contradicted himself after rubber stamping this deal few months back or how Puntland is contributing to the fledging TFG burse and waht not despite all of these the deal with Range was a blunder in first degree! Cadde is selling national treasure with pennies. Not only is he handing out national treasure but he is also making legal commitment with far reaching implications. Now the idea of attracting foreign investment to the region is a good idea. No one is objecting Puntland extracting its natural resources by asking the expertise and helping hand of foreign companies. At issue is at what price?

Boby WSW brother. Everything is more than shax-shax. BTW I’m counting all the subliminal city references be it names, style, or even teenage tradition exclusive to ciyaal Kismaayo. This is what I gleaned from last rendition: Af-madow, Afar Irdood, Sweden, and frustrated, devastated Ibrahim taking a dip in Calanleey beach . The review below appeared in Waxa-la-yiri Magazine Friday edition under Fanka iyo Suugaanta page-> Brilliant and in somewhat realistic tale of two young lovers who are going through the process of coming of age. Boby aka Shaka Zula has managed to present both sides of female and male coming of age story through the lens of traditional eyes of a boy (third person) who traces his roots in Majengo - a town within town in the heart of Calanleey – the oldest, most sophisticated, and most diverse multi-ethnic xaafad in Kismaayo. Waxa-la-yiri magazine readers rated Chasing Safia saga - known in some biibito circles especially Raage Qoobeey biibito in Aargada where literature gurus sip their nes-café as Coming of Age in Kismayo - one of the best portrayal of late-adolescence experiences (associated of age of sexual maturity) of ciyaalka xaafada. Our readers are having their fingers crossed for the anticipation of Ibrahim becoming tubaako addict is very real. A view reinforced by the real story of heart broken Weynaade - a man-like teenage boy who roamed the streets of Kismaayo as is-koris after tasting the bitter medicine of rejection at young tender age of seventeen. Rumor has it his lover Suleeqo of Farjano misled him for 18 months into believing that he has her heart in his fist like boojo. Suleeqo eloped with an old man from Xamar leaving Weynaade devastated and heart-broken. Inna-Kaadi Najaasle who has received an advanced copy of next rendition is floating around the rumor that Ibrahim in the heat of jealousy will resort to Baajuun-style sixir and even worse lose his sanity and let his old man down. Keep them coming widaay. PS: I'm coming to ur neck of the wood in late June.

Where is Scorpion sista? Is she around? may be with different handle? Hey dudette pm me if u r reading this.

Glad I live in the land of honey and milk. I have been advised not to rent a car in London right and now listening what Valenteenah has to put up with I'm kinda having negative feeling about England.

^Sorry? Dude you need to get ur sh*t together. An apology is in order Ain't sharing my bio with no cyber group especially this crowd! Why not? I bet Xiin knows why

Ayan unlike you yes you is a newsmaker. SOL folks are just reacting to recent news headlines. She is very infleuntial lady and her advocacy of certain anti-immigrant measures especially against Muslims in Europe have had a huge impact on the lives of many many immigrants living in Holland. So next time you notice reactions to the subject try to look this drama from this angle. Aight!

Scandalous and shocking behavior. Allah willing the culprits will be brought to justice. SW, the link is not working for me.

Forgive me I haven't read your post in its entirety. I scan-read it. But let me say a word to my grandson Prince. Awoowe tell me is it not true that Hargiesa have been shipping Allah-fearing, law abiding Somalis who sympathize with Liberation movement in Western Somalia. In Hargeisa effort to appease Ethiopia, didn't they round these Allah-fearing, law abiding freedom-fighters sympathizers up and sent them to Zanawi merciless junta to have their way with them in the Alamvakh hellholes. Common dude this much is a public knowledge and however you try yo justify this despicable boot licking there is no denying the fact the handover of these poor fellaz who thought they were living in the safety of their fellow brothers in Islam occured more than once. Now turning to Mr. Oodweyne...my o my you never cease to amaze me sxb. To believe the secessionists cause in such absolutism is a very telling sign of your rational and soundness of your line of reasoning. Look I have already conceded the fact that Mr. Yussuf the interim president of TFG is not in position to srike "if u scratch my back, I will do the same" deal with Uncle Sam. He got nothing to offer to Uncle Sam at this juncture. Somaliland is a conduit through which the alleged terrorist are hauled for they are close to the center of operation which is in Djbouti. And Mogadishu is the current theater where Uncle Sam gone for fishing. Qanyare and Co. have leverage for they can walk through Mogadihsu alley and capture the alleged big fishes thar are said to be haiding among Mogadishu residents. Now the equation is not differential mister. No no this one is algebra and fundamental one at that. US has interests in this region both current one and long term one. SL is desperate to get its recognition rubber stamped by powers that matter. Ethiopia is a regional power and has first hand knowledge in what goes on inside Somalia. It also has Uncle Sam's ear especially the current administration. Qanyare and Co. are useful Idi*ts in this whole saga. And TFG is the weakest link and despite Egypt, Uganda, and Kenya's recommendations Uncle sam had made his pick the boot lickers that can deliver and dolled out the mighty dollars with much sought important tap on the shoulder ala "good job" . I know my friend this sort of straight talk does not sit well with you and my man Suldaan and other hardcore secessionists. After all your cause is at par with divine directive (up there ) or at least considering your posts this is how you sound to me. You just can't go wrong with this one. Don't you get it mister. The world is becoming a dangerous place and the notion of dog eats dog is the kind of notion realists endorse nowadays. May be you are, unknowingly, in cahoots with these present day realists. You sound as if you are saying anything that help bring about Somaliland's dream of attaining its "desreved" recognition we are ready to do it. If anyone questions our conduct to the end we will just dismiss him/her by calling names and writing ornated op-eds that explains how Uncle sam's interest and our destiny fit each other as kal iyo mooye The corn that comes between the two like Allah-fearing Somalis who have been snatched in the middle of nigh out of their houses then we will call them "acceptable loss". Again I don't have time to spill the beans We'll give another go later...

Yes the TFG is toothless alright. Prince have you ever considered the reason neocon hawks in Washignton are givinf money and ammunition to the real terrorists in Somalia? Thanks to Uncle Bush's aid and support to the real terrorists in Mogadishu, hundred and thirty Muslim civilians mostly women and children are dead. I guess your secessionits extremists are sparing no effort to convince Washignton that they are WITH Bush in the "war" against "terror". Hargeisa had to walk the walk if its private pronouncement is to be taken seriously. And bingo what happened! In order to show how relaible they can be they snatched few Islamists out of their homes and families and sent them to the torture camps in Djbouti and the rest to Zanawi's Alambakho hellholes. Qanyare and Co. r now part of this snitch network that includes TFG, Puntland, and Somaliland. Contrary to the Baidowa's recent outrage of the latest conflict in Mogadishu, TFG leader is the godfather of this game of using other powers resources for his personal political gain. But this time around he couldn't deliver the goods for the goods are in his nemessis turf. Good going pal...wallahi waa ayaan darro. War maxaa dadkan damiirka ka qaaday.

Awoowe I quit arguing for good And here I wasn't arguing per se but I was just highlighting a comment the author of the piece made about now deceased great Garaad AbdiQanni's wisdom in staying true to his defined role as traditional chieftan. As to what camp the good Graad belongs to, well it suffices to say he belongs to Las Caano which happens to be a subject as well as part and parcel of Puntland State of Federal Somalia . Kismayo will be back to the hands of its rightful owners one of these days. In the mean time let Abdullahi, Abdiqasim, Barre, and IndhaCade burgain over the carcass of what once was a beautifull, progressive, and booming city. Awoowe London baan afar casho ku hakanayaa kol dhow e raggu mar ha shaaho oo nabad ha ku shaaho
