No wonder xiinfanin thinks you are confused

Whatever plans he may have it probably wont be good for Somalis in general, they seldom seem to be these days. His reply: In Libya, it’s true, we didn’t have to get involved. Some told us we shouldn’t because they said it would only end in failure. Some said we couldn’t because they said Britain didn’t have the military might any more. Well, to those who predicted failure, look at what we have achieved. I agree with your sentiment saxiib

Somalia Somalia is a failed state that directly threatens British interests. Tourists and aid workers kidnapped. Young British minds poisoned by radicalism. Mass migration. Vital trade routes disrupted. Meanwhile Somalis themselves suffer extreme famine, made worse by violence and some of the worst poverty on earth. We shouldn’t tolerate this. Somali pirates aren’t invincible: they are violent and lawless men in small boats and it is time we properly stood up to them. That’s why British vessels can now carry arms. But there is a real and pressing need to pull together the international effort. That is why Britain will host a major conference in London next year, to focus attention on… …protecting merchant ships passing through the Gulf of Aden… …tackling pirates… …pressurising the extremists… …supporting countries in the region… …and addressing the causes of conflict and instability in Somalia. President of Somaliland Foreign Office Minister Henry Bellingham meeting President Silanyo of Somaliland in London, 15 November 2011.

Breaking News: - As of yet an unconfirmed report seeping into the threads of SOL suggest that the username/account of our esteemed Waxaan-la-sheegin-ka-sheekeye aka Abtigiis had been successfully hacked into by an anonymous atheist group acting on behalf of his erstwhile arch nemesis Hadba-meel-loo-heenseeyay-caravan aka Xiinfaniin - in an attempt to deal a final blow to Abtigiis' persistently pestering pokes.

And you have audacity to back up Abtigiis' charge that Xiinfaniin is holding contradicting positions (and not just back up Abtigiis charges but 'love' him for it)

^^ I love you, man . Sida uun. Bila sabab. Odey Burcaawi baa waxaa laga haya - mar uu inaankiisu kasoo wacay London oo ku yidhi "Aabbe waan ku jeclahay" - ayuu odeygii ugu jawaabay; "oo mandhow goormaad laga roone noqotay?" - marka waxaa iswaydiin mudan - odeygaasu wuxuu ka odhan lahaa nin reer burco ah oo ninkale ku leh 'waan ku jeclahay, ninyahow'

Bashiir;755716 wrote: Are you serious? I'd think you were talking to yourself right there. Come down Bashir - scratch head = dhaka far The only reason why i am contributing here is because Abtigiis reminded me of that famous Somali poem - which so ably describes the human duality, here is an excerpts from Wardheer contributor: In his classic poem, Macaan iyo Qadhaadh, Qassim, in the spirit of poet-seers such as William Blake or Yeats, speaks to the universal duality of human constitution and the capacity of human beings to possess an inexplicable and acute propensity for both good and evil . On another more local level, in Macaan iyo Qadhaadh, Qassim lucidly portrays not only himself but t he duality of the complex Somali persona and the symbiosis of its inborn split personality traits that are inherently in a state of perpetual love and hate relationships – a mere microcosmic mirror of the alternating feelings of amity and animosity between the Somali clans, the hardnosed, non-delivering politicians and the emergent parvenu Sheikhs who are engaged in an ever-shifting allegiances and alliances . As a matter of fact, Macaan iyo Qadhaadh could be construed as an artistic depiction of present day Somali politics at its raw stage which is neither cogent nor coherent. Unlike any other politics, it is not traceably principle-based or context-driven but rooted in shifting sands; often marred with inconsistence and the absence of a national platform. Like the Somali persona, it is characteristically dynamic and asymmetrical in its application. In his book, Warriors, Life and death among the Somalis, Gerald Hanley aptly describes the complexity of the Somali character. “Of all the races of Africa, there cannot be one better to live among than the most difficult, the proudest, the bravest, the vainest, the most merciless, the friendliest: the Somalis.”

Consider the aloe - how bitter is its taste! Yet sometimes there wells up a sap so sweet That it seems like honey in your mouth. Side by side the sweet and bitter run Just as they do, my friends, in me, As I switch from sweet to bitter And back to sweet again. My two hands, right and left, are twins. One twin gives food to strangers and to guests, It sustains the weak and guides them. But the other is a slashing, cutting knife - As sharp to the taste as myrrh, As bitter as the aloe. Do not suppose I am the kind of man Who walks along one path, and that path only. I go one way, and seem a reasonable man, I provoke no one, I have the best of natures I go another, and I'm obstinate and bold, Striking out at others without cause. Sometimes I seem a learned man of God Who retreats in ascetic zeal to a seclude sanctuary - I turn again and I'm a crazy libertine, Sneakily snatching whatever I can get. I am counted as one of the elders of the clan, Esteemed for my wisdom, tact and skill in argument, But within me there dwells a mere townee, too - A no-good layabout he is, at that. I'm a man whose gullet will allow no passage For food that believers are forbidden to eat, And yet I'm a pernicious, hardened thief - The property of even the Prophet himself Would not be safe from me. I have my place among the holy saints, I am one of the foremost of their leaders, But at times I hold high rank in Satan's retinue, And then my lords and masters are the jinns. It's no good trying to weigh me up - I can't be balanced on a pair of scales. From this day to that my very colour changes - Nay, I'm a man whose aspect alters As morning turns to evening And back once more to morning. Muslims and infidels - I know their minds And understand them through and through. "He's ours!" the angels of Hell proclaim of me "No, ours!" the angels of Heaven protest. I have, then, all these striking qualities Which no one can ignore - But who can really know my mind? Only a grey-head who has lived for many days And learned to measure what men are worth. And now, my friends, each man of you - If either of the paths I follow Takes your fancy and delights your heart, Or even if you cannot bear to lose The entertainment I provide, Then come to me along the path - You're free to make a choice!

^^ I don't know really - you tell me! There are couple possibilities thought - if that was the case; 1) It could explain the current predicament of the Somalis 2) Were are doomed as people if we as people are to be without any of those nouns

Jacpher & JB - I know it is easier to mock and minimise things than to come with answers - but please try.

^^The word 'esteem' comes from a Latin word that means 'to estimate'. So, self-esteem is how you estimate, or regard, yourself. And how do you estimate, or regard, yourself? Try asking yourself these questions. Do I like myself? Do I think I'm a good human being? Am I someone deserving of love? Do I deserve happiness? Do I feel deep down that I'm an OK person? People with low self-esteem find it hard to answer yes to all or most of the above. Perhaps you are one of them. Read More - Here ....
