I think it's a futile attempt by the likes of DUKE to put the whole region in inferno and so be it.Only war will settle and get prepared.Case closed.

Otha somalis are not gona ask you a thing...waa la idinka tashaday.

DUKE... other somalis will not listen to pirateland,that's why you lost with Gas.Why you think only Mogadishu candidates should be president? No one wants your crystal clear games and no one including otha Ds trusts you .That's an open secret.If you want a fight you be left alone to carry out..put your deeds where your mouth is.Troublesome indeed! You be lucky if live in Mogadishu for couple years cos you be back to your old shameful scheme of divide and rule and the populace who already acquainted with your bad faith ain't taking any longer.They ship you back to Garowe. See you already started anotha cycle of armed violence a day after the election.Can't you even wait what the new president have to say.

Duke....you been quiet for long time busying yourself with Gaas and now he lost ,you out of job and rekindled what you know best!Very predictable. Ducking in crisis and troublesome at peace.Puntland is puntland no matter what. Always ask myself why they the only ones focused on somaliland and even the H people.For heaven's sake be normal for once.

One Somali lady whose poetry I recorded in London told me about the difficult years she spent alone in Saudi Arabia, where she worked as a janitor after she had lost her husband and only son in the civil war. Like many Somali elders, who are often illiterate, she stayed in touch with relatives abroad by sending them voice-messages on audio tapes. As she belongs to a lineage of great poets and is a capable composer herself, her messages often contain poems. In one instance she composed a poem for her brother in Somalia to complain about his sons who did not show consideration for the difficulties she was facing in Saudi Arabia and kept asking her to send money. She cunningly pointed out that the children of her husband by his second wife did support her, even though they are not socially expected to do so, unlike her nephews who are blood-relations. As the poem above, she addressed her complaint to an imaginary friend called Haali: Oh Haali I clean people’s toilets! The ones who should take care of me are all working “She doesn’t send us any money “they all grumble May Allah support Ali who didn’t do me wrong I am receiving help from the men born to my co-wife While my nephews are not doing a thing 6 After receiving the message, the poet’s brother apologized to her and reproached his sons. Message sent, message received! In spite of the continuing popularity of the classical genres of poetry among first-generation Somali migrants, there is now a growing group of young Somalis who were brought up in the Diaspora and feel little connection to the rustic language and countryside imagery of the gabay and buraanbur, let alone being able to compose in it. Some of them are now exploring new ways of creatively expressing their cosmopolitan identity and, perhaps unsurprisingly, often choose to do so verbally. Rap, with its roots in social and ethnic struggle and its strong emphasis on verbal skills, has a natural appeal for young Somalis in the West, and a plethora of Somali “MCs” have “stepped up to the mic” since the mid-90s; some rhyming in Somali and others in English. The most successful of them is the Somali-Canadian rapper K’naan. Now in his late twenties, he fled as a 9-year old with his family from Mogadishu in the early 90s and eventually settled in Toronto, where he developed his brilliant lyrical talent. Now a regular on MTV, K’naan has stayed true to his roots. His lyrics are a testimony to the troublesome journey of the Somali people and an indication that their legendary eloquence will find new forms for exile and will continue to pay tribute to the place where it all began: In a conservative form, I wanna ask you a few things before I conform, to the popular belief about where I was born, are they still thing still killing popping the corn, how’s the horn, how’s the love wave in the ocean morn, how are the young, do they still possess the poetry tongue, and do they still greet sincere like the depth of the lung, how’s the nomad, did the herds graze well this year, from the news to what I know the growing gab ain’t clear, how’s the earth, how are the stars under we conversed, do you still await on change like a new moons birth, does it still flood, ancient wisdom parallel with blood, do you still see, the painted vision only script deep, or did y ou fight off the plight of the colonized mind, what of the rainy season, do the kids still burry seeds and, get taken with uncertainty like me scared of leaving? How are the poets, the women and the orphans torn, I miss em all like old opportunities gone, what of the elders, story tellers and abandoned homes, miss em all like childhood reminiscefull songs …?

prominently in the new wave of Somali verbal expression. THE LANGUAGE OF EXILE Hirsi the oppressed deceived screened off enclosed disowned killed buried slaughtered for those astray saddled for greed hobbled from behind perpetually dangling stick thin destitute without compassion empty of the grace of God i pass you this message to ring pour forth harmony setting to rights to spread loyal honesty be it perhaps God willing at dawn recite it press it into thoses stubborn ones from mindlessness 4 alliterating in “d” forging the path easing the poem’s affirmation I summon y ou ring it a balm accepted if truth only heals that they descend

Indeed Canadians welcome refugees And do not let them starve Yet one is always unsatisfied and broke For the little we get Hardly suffices our food and shelter. They are strange people coming from everywhere Never notice you or even greet you Each one keeps to himself Always hastily locking his door. I feel isolated and sick with loneliness Deprived from my beautiful Africa And the land of my inspirations and songs. I must be contended with the fate That my God has reserved for me.

This poem is a gun This poem’s an assassin Images mob my mind . . . This pen s a spear, a knife A branding-iron, an arrow Tipped with righteous anger It writes with blood and bile 2

By Rahma Bavelaar Now you depart, and though your way may lead Through airless forests thick with hagar trees, Places steeped in heat, stifling and dry, Where breath comes hard, and no fresh breeze can reach Yet may God place a shield of coolest air Between your body and the assailant sun. And in a random scorching flame of wind That parches the painful throat, and sears the flesh, May God, in His compassion, let you find The great-boughed tree that will protect and shade1
