Federalism can be seen another problem of furthering tribalism. But question we need to ask ourselves is where are we on tribalism now? No doubt we are on the peak of it that any living creatures can get. Almost everything we do wherever we are, we do it on the basis of tribe. Siyad aimed to eradicate tribalism in his early years in office by the sword and then ended up promoting same ideology he was calling against. I for one came to the believe recently that federalism could be Somalia’s saviour. We are years away if not centuries from Somalia without tribe and the only way people can live side by side again is to live apart in the short run. There so much hatred and distrust that can not be healed in matter of years. United Arab emirate was once tribal kingdoms that fight aginst each other and look today, tribe is no existence, we can do the same.

Hibo sis when i asked you about the reports you have i did not in any way intending to be difficulty, I just wanted a fellow up information to go with the one you provided us. but what do you plan to do once I present you these documents? Are you going to be " reer fadhi ku dirir" or are you going to go back and make a difference and sacrifice your well moulded cozy life? Before this topic of yours I was planning to go back home next summer thinking that I had little to offer, but it is this kind of information that drive me further to go sooner rather than later and do whatever difference I can make. Inshallah I will not be a ‘’Fadhi Ku dirir’’ but some one who does his part to help fellow Somali People who are going through hard times. Thanks. By the way Muraad hasn't said an insult, it is just another Somali vocab similar to that you have in mind.

Mind you 4 of 100 in Galkayo are infected with HIV/AIDS This is shocking and somewhat depressing. Hibo walaaley I respect your statistics but do you have any reports, or written documents to support your statement because if this is the case it means 4% percent of the Galkacyo citizens are infected with killer desease and will die soon. I suspect you will have such docs as you were NGO worker. Ilaahow noo naxariiso oo nagaqabo balaaayo Amiin

no body is doubting the Salaf Manhaj here but the some individuals who associate with it is the problem. Again who ever did this act Muslim or Non muslim there is no religion that i know can justify. It was murderous, evil act that should not be condoned.

Sxb Muraad, this article seems have been written by desperate Fahad and his sympathesizers to sway the attention from their powerless Kingdom. Sxb there are so many differences, so many counter claims from different Islamic groups in the world today and if you fellow them too much you reach a point where it will sicken you. The best way is to stick to that you know which is Islam as your religion and Prophet Mohamed (S.A.W) as your director. Everything else is obstruction, destruction and pointless. Allah knows best

It is really a shocking news.. and whoever did it...there can never be any justification for such bloodshed and destruction in the land of the Prophet (S.A.W). The reality is, Islam is in very awkward situation where there are two camps, one who favours violence and one who favours votes to bring back Islamic Khilafah. I think answer lies somewhere in between. Allah Knows best

Hi all I thoought this is a topic of interest so i wanted to share with guys here is the link http://www.femail.co.uk/pages/standard/article.html?in_article_id=201325&in_page_id=1462

oh.... I can write a book about Southall lol LOL Sxb go ahead i support you all the way, plus I remember you working in that Call Shop . Seriously though, Southall is a fantastic place where Somali businesses prosper but needs something to be done about those bystander who do nothing but gaze around like ''Lax bilaawe argatey'', I dont know why they stand there on day and night, it's just awful.

I would like to join as the idea of Somali youth doing something about their chaotic country is intriguing but to start with i dont like the word ''Democracy'' it is too vague for me. what does mean?

what about if it is the woman who is bit in hurry and calling the man? He gets same sin if he rjects, I presume. But can that hppen? May be in today's generation as in old times it would have been unthinkable by a woman to call her man for sexual satisfaction. what do you think?

First of all nice to see the site is up and running again. New nation, by Wadaads i mean people who have Islamic knowledge (Elm) not not as an entity or group. Also I agree some Wadaads took part the civil war in one way or onother but as a Muslim nation we are not i think scarce of good people who have the leadership our country needs. I am talking about some one who has the quality or near of what Prophet Yusuf (A.S) put himself up for the top post ( he said I am knowledgeable and trustworthy). Muraad, i also agree Wadaads in general i think need to unite themselves and take the people on board not isolating themselves as a different body. ok let me break down the question for you is Islam the solution of our problem? And if yes how can it be put in practice in our country with all these differences? i hope this clear for all.

So much tribalism, so much hatred, so much differences Somalia is burning and does not seem it will stand from the wreckage in the very foreseeable future (at least in my observations). Somalia problem without shadow of a doubt is to do with tribalism and no sane individual can deny that. For a doctor to cure an illness he will have to find the causes first and only then he can do something about it. For me it seems Somalis know the causes but for reasons that I don’t know they trying to cure it with remedies that do not bring solutions. Lately I was thinking of what can bring us together once again and cease the hatred and tribalism that hindered us for decades and left our country in ruins. As we are a Muslim nation I thought Islam is the way and how about if we give a chance the Wadaads they might end the hatred, tribalism etc. At least they will be better than the opportunistic, power hungry so called leaders that front our chaotic political scenes. What do you think nomads? If you don’t see the Wadaads dont stand a chance of bringing any solutions what do you think is the solution for our trouble?

Magnoona sis... I understand where you coming from. what you got is a clash of cultures the middle eastern one which girls are required to be more conservative and dont talk to people outside their immediate family and the Somali culture which is more open and require children to be open to their relatives outside the house. For example when Somali man go to family visit is the children he has in mind. so if the children don't notice that and close their door and don't even say hi ''Adeero'' then that is when the person feels bad. second q is. why do some somalians hate being called (uncle, aunt).. the answer i get is why u callin me uncle im not married to ur mother, or im not old call me brother? This i think is the fact that altough he might be old as your father still down the lineage you are cousins and he wants you to know that and respect it..it is not something to do with age.. most of the somali oldies dont mind being called ''EEDO'' or ''ADEER'' as long as they do not believe that you are clsely related in which case they expect you to call them something else like Walaal. so my advice to you is when a relative comes over home greet them with open face and say '' see tahey'' hope that helps

So you guys had wish you were here time out together?..ah…IC…. Libaax sxb it is my pleasure would love to come in person but it was not convenient for me that day ( Next time Inshallah) Mujahid.. are you gona do something about what I have I read from the ladies or else I speak to your oldman?

ooh how come I have seen this before. Sxb Jabarti I always knew you had the talent, experience and the courage to make difference and i am sure we are only seeing the begining of you and there will be a lot to come from you Inshallah. Sxb youth work is one of the most important work and keep up the good work. Anyways how is evrything else long time...Inshallah i will private you. Wassalamu alaikum

Heey Smith and Warrior would you tell us little bit more about this new phenomenon seem to dominate in the Somali politics nowadays since you guys know this matter. My first question is What is Federalism? Does federalism have many different forms? Or is it distinctive? Who is in charge of the country? President (President of the decentralized government) or the governors of the autonomous regions? Who is in charge armed forces? Wouldn’t every region have the control of it’s army For example if the country is to go to war who has the final say? President? How about if the governors do not agree with him? The country would be disintegrated, wouldn’t it? Saxiibayaal I am asking too much question but I need to learn , you know…….I am hopeless about politics and stuff

As sister Tamina said read Suratul Nas(Quladhu birabi nas) , Falq (Quladhu birabil falaq), Ikhlaas. Read them into your two palms and rap them (two palms) in to your whole body. Do it three times every night before you go to sleep. Also read Ayatul Kursi (Allahu laa ilaah ilaahuwal xayul qayuum…). This is the way Prophet Mohamed (S.A.W) you use to do it even when he was sick Aisha (R.A) use to do this for him. I would love to relate the Hadiths but unfortunately I haven’t got them here with me but I am sure that is what they meant. There are also other adhkaar to read when you put your head on the pillow. The one I can remember is: (Allahuma inii aslamtu nafsii ilaika walja, atu dhahrii ilaika raqbatan warhbatan ilaika laa malja,a walaa manjaa ilaa ilaika laa maljaa walaa manjaa ilaa ilaika, amantu bikitakikaladii anzalta, wabinabiyikaladii arsalta). It would be good if you can get hold of Husnil Muslim. It is small book and it’s written on it a lot of easy adhkaars. I hope that helps. Also I would like to point out don't tell anyone about your bad dreams because prophet Mohamed said the bad dreams are from shaitan and spit on your left shoulder three times while saying Ahuudhu Bilaaahi Minashaydaani Rajiim. You tell some one you love when you contract good dream. That is all i can remember for now but I am confident there will be a lot of nomads who will be in position to help you.

Tamina, *****aikuma Salaam, and thanks for welcoming me back although i was thinking you is the one missing. Shaka Zulu, Ameen bro. may Allah guide us and show us his true path.
