lol Alpha, that you are right about that. And you'll be glad to know that she didn't put up with it and somehow managed to escape and is now reunited with her kids Alhamdulilah. I don't want to go into details (who knows who reads these boards) but all is well now AH.

And furthermore why go along with a political plan whose it's authors are none other than the same self-serving lackeys who couldn't do for you any good in the last half century in NFD? Don't get me wrong Oodwenye, I was never a supporter of this federalism rubbish least of all this J/land mashruuc, but the thing that made me support it was when I saw the alternative: a president in bed with mory@an illiterates that go by the name Golaha Dhaqanka HAG, who's reduced himself to petty clan agendas and seems to be blind to the greater good. So, I thought to hell with them all (remember my 'Balaayo Reer Somalia tirade?) and went with the lesser of the two evils if you like. NFD might be in a bad shape, but it's nothing compared to that Hell on Earth next door.

Cambuulo, we've been cursed with a racist government and fools for representatives. Whilst the rest of Africa is damned, we're damned twice. I think someone should start a local campaign whose slogan is 'Diidnaaye ogoow'. Faarax Macalin and other stooges can run away to their Down Kenya masters.

Another great article. It's a shame that he stopped blogging. I wonder whether he's moved to twitter or something?

Garissa's Ruinous Relationship With its Leaders In every wretched relationship, there are moments that are so loathsome they make a person throw his hands in the air and vehemently seek vengeance with brute force. Somali Kenyans have reached that point. The anger on the ground in Garissa and other places is palpable. Whilst an unmitigated disaster unfolds in NEP as people starve, the government is splashing money on defending War criminals and genocidaires. It's a reflection of the future that lies ahead in the sick relationship between MPs and their subjects. As poverty and frustration percolate to the core of society, the men we elected to change our fortunes are busy aligning themselves with internationally recognized war criminals. As somali mothers get gang raped by the same people (Police) that were supposed to provide them with protection, our elected Somali officials are busy thwarting the ICC's pursuit of Ruto and Uhuru. As we get humiliated on our own streets by policemen who see us as walking ATM machines, our MPs pusillanimously cow-tow to the fascism of a government that we've been disenchanted with for almost half a century. For those of us that are unemployed, educated and frustrated, let's be done with these goons and let them be done with us. Let them start businesses with all the money they stole over these 5 years and make millions in profit. We will promise not begrudge them-as long as they create jobs here in Garissa and stay out of politics. To the youth, I urge you to be cynical of everything these pseudo-dictators tell you. Cultivate the Tunisian in you and even if it takes a low level intifada to bust the existing political class delineation in our county, GO FOR IT. GOD BLESS YOU!

And no, I'm not the author but agree 100% with everything they've said.

Although a bit old, this entry in this blog summarises very nicely my dislike for puppet politicians from this region: Raila came to Garissa today and as usual offered nothing more than the typical vitriolic bluster that he spews everywhere he goes. What was supposed to be a political rally soon devolved into partisan bickering, ad hominem attacks and subpar vitendawilis. I think he didn't get the memo on our disregard for vapid hollow statements that are not followed by tangible action. Any individual with a triple digit IQ knows that neither Raila nor The KKK care about the legitimate needs and interests of Somali Kenyans (Nepians). Both are self serving political vampires mainly interested in gaining political leverage in our city and region through proxies (our MPs). Our lives have been made all the more miserable by a Government that is propped up by ODM as the price for 'peace'. They did not deliver half the change they promised us in 2007. The fake under funded ministry they setup has failed to alleviate the human tragedy that is gripping Northern Kenya today. In short, they are all double faced liars and snake oil salesmen. Raila like Uhuru, Kalonzo & Ruto presided over the arrest, rendition and torture of innocent Muslims. His partly owned government still refuses to buy our livestock while it buys bad maize grown in Central and Trans-Nzoia to save their tribesmen from losses. Its only in Garissa where policemen can, in broad daylight, rob you of your hard earned wealth and usurp your business. Its only in NEP where you can be arrested and beaten for not carrying your ID with you as was the case during the colonial era. Raila just like the rest of them stands for the continuation of these racist policies. His duplicity and inconsistency with regards to the rights of Somali-Kenyans is well documented. What was missing from the Rally? For one there was no substantiative policy discussion, there were no overtures made to our region and none of our complaints (ID issuance, police harrassment, systemic marginalization) were addressed. We only saw our MPs capitulating to a Luo overlord who offered no vision just vile personal attacks. Now don't get me wrong, I despise Ruto and all those who agree with his ethnocentric politics equally, I just don't see how telling us that 'Uhuru is a bhang addict'solves any of our problems. All those who attended today's rally to applaud Raila's prejudices and listened while he fanned the flames of hatred are not any better than those trained seals that beat the drums for the flip-side of this coin, The KKK. Finally, any of you retarded tribalists that may think I have a vested interest in any of the issues discussed above, I do not. I just want to see my people wake up from this coma. Its time Dualle, Farah Maalim and the rest of our political class stopped being subservient to vivisectional foreign interests. They should form their very own political movement and prudently chose who to support in the General election, if they do not wish to field their own Presidential candidate. The current divisions will lead to another tribal bloodshed in Garissa. The government has had its Jackboot on our throats for 47 years, time to vote for our own president! http://garissacity.blogspot.co.uk/2011_01_01_archive.html

All I see is a dusty urban sprawl Where is this strange place?

I just heard a sad tale about a relative (she's your lot Alpha, strange how interconnected Somalis really are yet so far apart). This girl used to live just 4 doors down the road from us in Gsa. Her husband was Satan's incarnate for her man.

I came across a great quote today (I've been going through research papers into 'Learning' for 4 hrs straight now ): Spoon-feeding may improve results, but it doesn't develop chewing muscles. PS: I hate this wishy-washy genre (sociology/psychology). Ideal for the Wadanis and Safferzs of this world but not me :mad:

But that's a lot of imported stuff btw Alpha. I'm surprised u have Cornflakes.

I'm good but I just saw ur feet earlier and questioned ur somaliness. You're few shades from blick

.

A fair and balanced opinion. I agree with the author that a solution can only be found after true national reconciliation in Xamar.

Nice read sxb. Keep it up.

My goodness. The rubbish that spews from some people.

Saffz, you should've made yourself clearer. You could've spared us Chimera's essays (nice read tho, you go get those Injirley).

Safferz, don't refute the irrefutable girl. We are nasab and thus, above slavery. And lol at the Ethiopians claiming they had a maritime history.

Exactly. When you have folks believing their Bani Hashim, what can you expect Ilaahay baan kugu dhaarshee?

Was that meant to be Riyaale? lol
