Please respect the rules of the website and stop the childish insults. No you are not allowed to call anyone on this website names. This is the only warning you will get.

We have had error issues with private message for two days. Please let us know if you are still having problems. Few other problems such as login issues still persist among some. We are working to get this resolved.

We noticed that some nomads have made a habit of insulting others on this forum. Some even brag about what they call the "karbaashid". This is not acceptable. This forum is not a venue for personal attacks/insults. Moderators and Admins don't have the time to edit your insults or to follow you around just to make sure you are not insulting others. You will be banned if you don't follow the rules of the website. Please stay civil. Admins and Moderators will do anything possible to give you a clean venue for a discussion, but we need your help. Please send Admin a private message if you see someone insulting another person. We are tired of the complaints. PS: And fadlan, whatever you do, don't openly challenge the moderators or the Admins to do something about your insults. There is really no need for that.

Apologies Abtigiis. We tried to capture youR main thought. Please create your own topic again adigoo raali ah. There were few topics that were lost.

recovered thread after some data loss Carafaat wrote: Who is Ngonge? From all the SOL characters Ngonge is the most curious one. Sure there a unique and more exciting characters like Abtigiis, Oodweyne, XX, Duke, Che, MMA, Xiinfaniin, jB. But atleast we know where they stand in the world and in politics. They are Somalilanders, Unionist, Puntlanders, Al Shabaabist, Khatumite's, Socialist, islamist, pan afrikanist, clannist or simply sijui's by heart and ideology. Or a combination. Their worldvieuws is determined by clan, culture or dollars. But we dont really know Ngonge's ideology, aspiration or worldly vieuw. For sure he is social towards other habro's, but he cares little for them. Somaliland is for him just current reality but not the heart wished nation. His adeero Siilanyo is atleast a Uniost, but Ngonge has no love no passion and no memories of Muqdisho, Marka or Mareeg. Jabuuti, Jammame and jigjiga are just names of places for him. It has been suggested that Ngonge is the first of new type of Somali, the Ciyaal Carab type raised with casiir between snobby carab Sheicks. And he cares little for country, clan or culture. But this would do him unjust as those ciyaal carabs are quite superficial and only care about appearance and worldy stuff like cars, fashion, films and hollywood celebrities. They hang around with other carabs and stay away from Somalia. But Ngonge is no ciyaal carab, he sociolized rather with Somali's, he flirts with clans and our country. He winks at unionist and Landers. Die hard landers, die hard clannist, sijui's and die hard unionist consider Ngonge as their friend and one of them. Now the question rises, who is Ngonge really? What does he belief? What is his passion? What does he care about? What is his ideology?And above all are there more Ngonge's in this world? Where do they fit? Should we be disturbed about their presense among us? I hope someone can give us more insight in to the thinking and mind of this character.

Apologies to Wyre and those missing posts/threads. We moved the site to a different server to accommodate the increasing traffic. There was a short lag of few hours where we failed to recover the active data.

Ayoub, there you go.

We are experiencing minor issues and we are working on them. Thanks.

Nomads, fadlan let us respect one another and avoid lowering the debate to a clannish level. Criticize entities, public personalities and political figures, but don't call each other names. Stay away from attacking Somali clans as well because this is not the venue for that kind of conversation. Let us stay civil nomads.

Khadar, please let us avoid using clan names on the forum.
