Salaam all. Juxa has been good and early these past few days. I'm glad I had a positive influence on people.

One woman's stand against sexual harassment When Ellie Cosgrave was sexually assaulted on a London tube, she felt powerless. On International Women's Day, she is returning to where it happened to start her own revolution Today, on International Women's Day 2013, somewhere in a London Underground tube carriage on the Northern line, one woman will take the radical step of reclaiming the space in which she was sexually assaulted. When a man pressed his erection into Ellie Cosgrave's behind on a crowded tube and left her with semen running down her legs, she felt the powerlessness that mark so many women's daily experiences of harassment and assault. But like thousands of other women in the new wave of feminism sweeping the UK, Cosgrave is taking a stand; finding her own, individual way to fight back and refusing to be silenced any more. Returning to the carriage where she was assaulted, she will perform a dance to express the anger, embarrassment and discomfort that she felt. Next to her will stand a sign reading: "On the 4th Aug 2011 a man ejaculated on me in this carriage. Today I'm standing up against sexual harassment everywhere." For Cosgrave to go back to the place where she endured her ordeal and dance is an act of extraordinary bravery. She will take ownership of the space where somebody else exerted power over her against her will. It is a moment of pure defiance: of the man who assaulted her and the social norms that create public property out of women's bodies in shared spaces. As a form of protest, dance wields a particular power. This was harnessed by Eve Ensler in One Billion Rising on 14 February, which inspired women all over the world to dance and demand an end to violence against them. It might look as if Cosgrave is alone, but there are thousands of women standing alongside her, both in support and in taking on their own acts of bravery. Hers is one voice in a chorus that is building to become a deafening roar. From the bravery of Malala Yousafzai, to those who wish to honour the legacy of Jyoti Singh Pandey. Across the UK, at the brand new university feminist societies springing up, at grassroots conferences being organised for the first time, in cafes and bars, homes and schools, women and men are creating a movement of equals – young and old, of all backgrounds, colours and creeds. They don't need permission for their priorities – they are standing up to injustice wherever they see it, from street harassment to workplace discrimination to everyday sexism. When Ellie returns to the carriage where she was assaulted today, she won't just be dancing. She's also fighting. She's starting a revolution

^^ That didn't shed any more light than we already had.

Macno Yare come up with a full blown UN Security Council Resulation specificly designed to shoot down Kismayo (or at least to frustrate the effort ) And we have NORF with a more powerful amo to kill whole thing I am not bothered at all, saaxib. I just enjoy a pile on whenever you're at the bottom of it.

At any rate, if what you posted above is the actual Somali constitution, it seems (for there is no need for the kid gloves now) that "NO" is the answer to both your questions.

^^ War adigu don't go pushing Xiin into a corner dee. No more "looks as though.." and any of these assumptions of yours. Just ask the question and give him enough room to answer. Xiin, Like a swimmer doing the breast stroke, one minute we see your head and the next it's totally under water. It is obvious that the disagreement is political, however, could the questions that Norf asked be used as a rod to beat the Jubba idea with? How? And if not, why not? Ma intaa yar baad kari wayday?

^^ You're obsessed with those guys.

^^ I only compete with UK based SOLERS. Kuwa Asia, Africa iyo cirka jooga xisaabta kuma jiran.

Morning all. It's Friday and I'm taking it easy. Second in is not that bad.

^^ That's no good at all. I demand a recount.

2. In si waafaqsan Dastuurka iyo siyaasadda dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ee maamul sameynta iyo federaaleynta dalka laga hirgeliyo maamul goboleed gobolada dhexe, kadib marka ay soo dhameytiranto wixii hindise sharciyadeed ah ee Dastuurku dhigayo. Hmmmmm!

^^ I usually don't. But a quick process of deduction tells me the word Sayid used there is actually three in one; bir-ma-goyso. I know that bir means metal and understand that the use of "ma" there means "does not" and know that goyso is related to the action of "cutting" something. Which finally leads me to conclude that Sayid just called me Superman. (even if I'm wrong, there is nothing at all wrong with my "workings", miss).

^^ For whom? This sounds more like a stalemate than a pyrrhic victory.

Oba, our very own candle in the wind!

^^ War he's having a go at me. Since he couldn't do it when talking about football, he is using the fact that he is slimmer, younger and taller as a stick to beat me with in retaliation. Wax fahan.

^^ He must be really good at what he does (or he has good connections). The man IS Mr Somalia!

The guy on the left of the PM (the one with the shades), who is he? He seems to be in every government picture no matter who the PM is!!!!!!!!

^^ Heh. I was thinking about it but today is a dull day and is best spent in the office.
