Mog owned media such as the press and broadcast went ballistic in the last days. The hysteria is quite unbareable to read, listen and watch. All I've to say is: "Can't a Moryaan get a little peace "it's war in the streets (of Mog)," " like in the middle east"!!!!

This is the time I have been wating for.One person must get the upper hand in Somalia and that would be the winner of this up coming War. I sincerely hope that it will not come to war bro. Let not the Moqadisho spin doctors fool you. In whose interest is it to wage a new war or in soomaali a "dagaal cusub oo ahli ah"? I believe no one. Mog gangsters have to act because literally they've got a gun on their neck. It is them who makes this fuss and no one else. Let them deal with it, I believe that they've "the brain", logistics and military manpower to overwhelm and overpower some 2100 soldiers.

What I cannot apprehend is the "mass hysteria" and fear that suddely struck our fellow countrymen in Moqadisho. The media went crazy, it is second to none to the famous "British Tabloid" phenomanan that surpised me most. I believe that Abdullahi certainly does not have any chance against the mighty USC and allies because I believe that the USC is full of resources such as weaponary, manpower and other military and finachial hardware and support. Abdullahi must be dreaming to think that he can take Mog doesn't he know that there are 60.000 armed milita men in the town who are armed to the teeth? Juma don't worry brother, you don't have to run around like headless chickens like your friends of Dayniile.com, Onkod, Hornafrique, Hobyo and Waagacusub just relax because at the end you will gain the upper hand sooner rather than later inshallah.

Let's imagine for a sec that the United Nations and the international donar countries are looking for ways in which they can help our country to return to its gone glory once again in our lifetime's. They've talked to Pres Abdullahi Yusuf and the the Mog opposition in which they achieved a verbal agreement that they can look somewhere else in persuit via/of a third party to help them get over their disputes, disagreements and political deadlock. On top of that they've also agreed on that they will accept any outcome or ruling off the third party involved. So in persuit of a third party who can help with the deadlock, the Secretary-General of the UN comes to "SOL" to find a suitable person who can be a spokesman/woman of all the nomads. This spokesman/woman will be identifying suitable ways in which he/she can break the deadlock and at the end of their solutionfinding mission they'll be asigned to address a full UN Convention of all the Presidents of the World in New Yorks. Therefore after He/She finished whatever the proposal is the international community will take it into consideration. Therefore my question is dear members of SOL to nominate a suitable spokesman/woman who can speak from the entire race of our people. The responsibilites on the shoulders of that person is extremelly mindblowing and if they get it right it could lead into the resurrection of the Somali nation and then inshallah every Somali will be living in peace and harmony on the contrary if they get it wrong it could mean the extinction of the entire Somali race. So iam asking you to nominate a suitable spokesman/woman who can represent and talk for "us". That person should be full of credibiliy, integrity and must love his/her country of origin i.e. Somalia. As the people who discuss the politics section know each other quiet very well, I'll suggest that they nominate that person a "political ambitious genius" from amongst them because in order to fulfill that role one must be aware of the political situation of the country we're trying to solve the problems off. Start nominating now folks.

I'm not a great fan of the brother called Windtalker but I find the remarks and reply posted by Tolstay very offensive indeed. These should be a civilised debate where people debate their different opinions but it should be not a debate where people insult each other personally. Walaal Tolstoy you've lost the debate and hence the plot, that you thought to yourself that the only way you can defend your views were to make a personal attack on the brother Windtalker. Walaal you should consider apologising for your remarks or other wise consider quitting the forum.

Somalinet Interview with Michael Everson. Michael Everson 1. Could you please briefly tell us about your areas of research interest and expertise? I am an expert in writing systems with a good deal of training in linguistics. I have for the past decade or so put nearly all of my energy into studying the writing systems of the world for the specific purpose of encoding them in Unicode. I'm also a font designer. 2. Could you please share with us what spurred your interest in the Osmania script? And when? I think it was in January 1998 that I first started looking into it. It was a year later that the first Unicode proposal document was written. What spurred my interest? Nothing in particular. It was one of several simple alphabetic scripts that I looked into at the time. It wasn't until a member of the Somali community made contact with me that I became more interested and involved. To put it another way, I love writing systems of all kinds, and was doing preliminary work on a number of them, Osmanya included. 3. Are there groups or individuals who assisted you in your research in the Osmania script, such as locating material, getting access to public and private collections, and making contacts with people who are authority on the Osmania script? I am very grateful to Osman Abdihalim Osman Yusuf Keenadiid and to his family for the support they gave this project. It is, as it turns out, difficult to find accurate information on Osmanya. Many books about writing systems repeat the same alphabet, showing the same untransliterated and untranslated sample! Osman Abdihalim Osman sent me a photocopy of a book which made the encoding of the script possible. 4. Are there any tangible results from your considerable research in the Osmania script? If so, how did you disseminate that information? The first proposal to encode Osmanya can be found at http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n1948.pdf. It was written in January 1999. Osman Abdihalim Osman found the paper on the web and contacted me about it. Working together with him, I published the final proposal, written in July 2001, which can be found at http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n2361r.pdf. Both of these papers were submitted to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 and to the Unicode Technical Committee, the groups responsible for the Universal Character Set. 5. How far along are you into your efforts to digitize the Osmania script and when can we expect to have Osmania script fonts for computers? Osmanya has been accepted for encoding in Plane 1 of the Unicode Standard, and is out for ballot in JTC1/SC2. That ballot will close in November 2002, and the amendment will be published some time the following year. I designed an Osmanya font very quickly to prepare the script proposal. That's why the fonts in the proposal documents are -- in my own opinion -- very rough and crude. Recently I began to "clean up" my fonts, to give to them sharp and typographically professional shapes. I expect that some time next year I will release them to the general public. I can say one thing -- if I were able to get hold of an original printed source it would be easier to improve the font, because an original document would be superior to the photocopy which I have at present. I am also interested in providing a method for keyboard input. I believe that a QWERTY-based keylayout would be the most convenient input method, especially as it would be easiest for Somalis to use since they are already used to the Latin orthography. 6. What are the barriers or problem you have encountered in conducting and, perhaps, expanding your research on the Osmania script? As I said, it was difficult to find information about it. There is surprisingly little on the internet about the script, considering that Osmanya was in active use until at least 1972. I am surprised not to find it used in more Somali websites, even just as decorative graphics, given its cultural and historical importance. Perhaps there are political issues of which I am unaware? I don't know how many books were printed with the script, or if newspapers were. I have not seen them, in any case. I have put a PDF file of the entire book http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/afkeenna-iyo-fartiisa.pdf Afkeenna iyo fartiisa on my website. This is a large file, about 7 MB. It is the source book which we used to prepare the proposal. 7. Somali, as you are aware of, is currently written in the Latin alphabet. In your opinion, how difficult would it be to reintroduce the Osmania script to the Somalis or in Somalia? Certainly in this day and age, with the Latin orthography in use for thirty years, it might be difficult to replace Latin with Osmanya. But it is an important part of Somali culture, and I would hope that the script would form a part of the school curriculum in Somalia. In Sweden and Norway, for instance, children learn about the ancient Runic alphabet in school, and certainly some of them learn it and write notes to one another in Runes for the fun of it. Calendars, restaurant menus, T-shirts, and other kinds of "public text" could make use of it in conjunction with the Latin script. Other countries do similarly with their scripts. Why not Somalia? 8. Given your considerable expertise in extinct scripts, how would you characterize the foundations and the structure of the Osmania script? Structurally, Osmanya is a simple left-to-right alphabet with 22 consonants and 8 vowels. Three of those vowels are long vowels; the consonants WAW and YA are used to represent the other two long vowels UU and II. The Osmanya alphabet is very well suited to represent the sounds of the Somali language, in just the same way as the new Latin orthography does. The alphabetical order of Osmanya shows the influence of the Arabic script. The shapes of its letters are simple, to recognize and easy to write. It is a marvellous invention. 9. What do you know about the creator of the Osmania script, Mr. Osman Yusuf Kaynadid? Not as much as I would like. In searches on the web, I have found out that he was a very religious man. I was interested to learn that the reason he kept his mouth covered was "to avoid sin". I think that it would be a great thing if someone would write a biography of this important man. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions.

I appologise if I have caused any controversy but I guess you've to put up with it cause I cannot edit it. I've nothing against the country called Ethiopia because I'm an Ethiopian myself and my whole family is from Ethiopia I just think that people here are too narrow minded because if you look at the "joke" section everything goes you know what I mean? THere are jokes about women being not smart or lacking the ability to think even other "jokes" in here are extremly vulgar. Can I ask you why are you not offended by these jokes? Or is it cause one of you mate's posted it therefore no need to be offended or complain. Grow up people and open your eyes there all kind of jokes in here which I personally find racist, disgusting and vulgar. Thank you!!
