I agree with Che-Checaure. Anywayz, i really don't care who rules...but i know one thing for sure i will never be going there, only for a holiday and take my future kids there. No plans to live in this mooriyaan country, and don't care who rules there. These leaders will all have one thing in common "tribe".

I am speaking on behalf of all the nomads here. Who am i speaking to??? those who made these changes in this site, should i say those unnecassary changes. :rolleyes: What excatly happens when you click to www.somaliaonline.com??? Take a good guess There's no front page, walahi i use to hate that old plain white page. Now i just wannaa it back. No, it's just about the front page. What happen to the Community (the reason i discovered this place) the Music (oh! Seynab Cige) and... The weried Chatrooms ....that needed some fixing. Bascially SomaliaOnline is JUST a disscussion Forum! :confused: ...something is wrong here! They arranged the forum topics, women down the list, is that neccessary???...or Private Messages style changed, oh yeah....that's for betta but what about the big chnages that are quite small, from Asalamu Caleykum to Plain Old hello??? I always thought that something was missing despite all these things; "A News Forum"... sounds awful. So they should be one....On Somalia as well as here, in the West. This a plea to those makers and i happy to speak on behalf on all these nomads who were slow to pick these changes up. We Want A better Site. A site that's more then just discussion forum. We want our old plain white front page back, though some colour can spice it up. They arranged the forum topics, women down the list??? is that neccessary...or Private Messages style changed, oh yeah....that's for betta but what about the big chnages that are quite small, from Asalamu Caylekum to Plain Old hello???? We want our: *Community *Music *Chat-Rooms *Front Page(with some changes) BACK!!! An extra thing "News" i dunno makes it look betta i guess.

Lovely me, the brotha is showing some changes. Walahi i was complaining about this, unitl Moti beat me to it. I myself want those changes back.

Nazra macanto im sorry to say you're confused, mentally abused and you've taken on the mentality of the kuffar. You're a victim of scripted talk shows and today's kuffar dominated society. ba'ayeee war maxaa tiri, That is the worst thing that anyone could say about me...and i suggest you take that back. :mad: :mad: :mad: show us ur simplicity, why don't u. Okay, many might think, I am westernized. Believe me...i know myself i know my religion and i do indeed know my culture (no need for to learn about my culture----whoever suggested that i should) What is my culture???to breed ten kids....plz Who breeds all these kids??? Housewifves----why??? = They have no goals----Why???= they aim is to aim at ten kids(that's there full time job). I wanna be a mother who has style,class,career,kids,fashion sense and an educated somali men. Not a mother, who breeds like an animal cause she has no life, and her life is to breed and stay home. That type of mother is stressed and is physically,emotionally and socially unfit. Ops! shouldn't say socially...there are the ones who gossip and are up to date with ppl's lives after all they have no life of there own. See the comparison there, now tell me...is breeding like an animal is something to be proud of ***Every kid they have, every door of opportunity is closed.*** I should become the Health Minister of Somalia and have that "one-child-china policy" in Somalia and i should make it "Five to Four" "No to breeding like animals" i say...followed by tv ads. Though somali is not over-populated...trust me it would have....if that civil war had never happen. War does decrease the population!

"Could you eleborate on that"? Ku lahaa, how on earth are u gonna get through exam like that jamliah??? if you want simple questions to be elabaroted on. I'm impressed, better word choice then what you wrote before. "you, Nazra" were the only nice words u can think of, god! keep the fail language out of ur mouth and i hope i don't have to teach you to close ur legs too. What's this Miz lateafha, You two kiwi's girls seem to be tuckling me, and that "haka-baka" did scare me off. Sista, with all do respect, change that tone of urs...it's bit bitter. And i see you have your claws out for me. But this issue can be re-solved with appropiate manners. hard to re-solve anything when one is missing manners. Once you have retrieve urs we shall be back to business. "Nayaa", Nasiir Jones haven't we disscussed this matter before??? and ppl complain about my topics!!! Jeez~. UR comments are dismissed. G-Money (FINALLY)

"Dee"...i love that word! it makes me look as if i am professional somali speaker.

Somali's, Alicia Keys waa Somali ku lahaa. :rolleyes:

Have u ever considered this: "what man on earth has money to do a wedding while attending uni"? :confused:

lol, it should work in most cases.

Happy Birthday! You look way younger, than your age

"In an ever changing fast paced beautiful website where self-expresion is encouraged, and shallowness is rediculed, it's mesmerizing to witness that few of us still haven't changed our ways of judging others in the name of "anonymous self expression. It is a place or rather a mind set where creativity runs amok and a decent self-expression is much tolerated" It's sad to see kids who have yet not reach puberty talk like this, clown ur comments are dismissed. And i don't require any input nor replies from anyone...i am clearly advising and putting this sitaution, out there. Trust me, i don't expect any replies from anyone...when the average for there family is five to eight. It's okay, you do not need to hide behind the bushes.(it's not gonna get u anywhere) I'm curious here, Have u guys ever heard of Rhetorical Question??? or even know what Suggestion is, i simply came here to inform and suggest about this issue, not important now...but one day it will be. :rolleyes: To grap "attention" Kulahaa :rolleyes: , sista you have lost it, and don't hold anything against for that sista-connection thing i made. Who am i to impress??? :confused: I'm here for myself, to learn and expand my knowledge and in some cases express myself, only to myself. About the "animal" comparsion there...sista, animals breed in huge numbers...and i'm just saying we don't have to be like them. As for me, my decision is clearly made up...hate to see another sista suffer like this. Jamilah..what was that about, lolz Let me see, ain't you that girl who wrote that teen topic, saying "i am 14..." i would like to know, why the hell are u carrying a face of a 20 yr old chick??? explain urself, without being too emotional about it. Watch the language, ceeb! ur a girl. But then agian...i would also like to address another issue here: " Why are real nomads, face being carried around? Dam! i would hate to be mis-represented...and have some goofy person carry my face around, "use it and abuse it" well you at. Nasra, touching on taboo topics!

Why are Somali-ladies killing themselves for??? Reproducing doesn't mean, aim Ten. I recently discovered, that somali ppl are animals. Should they be breeding like this??? it's unnecessary to breed like an animal. We ain't animals, why should we breed like animals??? :confused: What's the point of having eight to ten kids...wasting your energy,time and your financial resources on kids whom you will be running away from judgement day, kids who will be putting you on the poverty line, kids who majority will be caasi waaladiin,kids whom most you won't benefit from and kids who will only put you behind. The disadvantages seem to out weigh the advantages on reproducing like an animal. Surely it ain't the women's fault, in most cases. Who are the real animals here??? Men: that's right you heard me. There are the inconsiderate ones here. Not knowing the physical and emotional impact on having ten kids. As long as there desires are met, regradless of being not financially stable, nor providing them a GOOD life. I once learned that, "The Poor Class People And The High Class People Are Ones To Reproduce Great Numbers Of Kids". Where do Somali ppl fit in here, surely somali's ain't well off...this explains why they reproduce like this. First of all it's shocking it seems "poor class reproducing that many" hmmm! it's ain't that hard to beleive when you look at countries like Somalia. With a bit of help, these numbers should be halfed. Families within the Somali-Community need to ease up. I was once at a lecture where one dying women asked "I have eight kids, i had one every year..hardly any gap...my husbands wants to continue like this. This has a great emotional impact on me. how am i suppose to continue like this, not even being financially stable." :rolleyes: No, wonder why some Sheik's complain about pathetic questions! As i rolled my eyes, i continued text messaging. Though i wish at this stage,I heard what the Sheik had to say about this. Though the matter was taken very seriously and every women's ears was wide open. People might think i am suggesting condoms here! Nope...though i know couples who use condoms and some CASES injections. Over my dead body that i am having some plastic rubber thing inside me, i don't know how some ppl do it, using that within or without marriage. As for Injections! Yaa, i am not killing myself to please my husband...those things just increase ur chances of getting a blood clot and as for the pills...another killer...increasing ur chances of what was it....breast cancer,stroke and all those nasty diseases. I am simply suggesting, Three nights a week.

I don't think i would like to shoot anyone... But seriously i would love to take a shoot at that dalmar boy!(Who started this topic)-He is so annoying,,, :rolleyes:

I actually got all of them right, except for the MILK one. And i already KNEW about the survivour one, but the countries were different, yet some thing...

:rolleyes: @ Sofine Let your realtives show there level of ingorance. if there are qabilista, therefore,...they are unfaithless. And i suggest you should not seek nor take there advice no more. Thank good, my family ain't like that, maybe i come from tribal-mix-marriage. The bottoma line is....DO U WANT HIM OR NOT??? Yes, then go for it, and "ignore the ignorant'--i say PPL, should learn to get over it, we are all the SAME....how can one tribe be better then the other??? a question i would love to know. What makes One to hate another WHOLE tribe?? :confused:

The Milk One. :confused: As i was spelling "silk" three times, i was like "hehehe i know this one, MILK." Shocked at the answer, dam! :mad:

Walahi, i have never read anything as immature as this. :rolleyes: @ Darman. Walahi, this is sick...shows your mentality. And i beleive you were compalaing about some guys topic. PS: It was betta then this topic. who the hell would get pissed of at these scenario, unless that person is in love with an immature lil boy I wouldn't on earth get pissed at this lil acts, i would laugh...Tells me one thing about that guy: Low LIfe Loser, with no Dignity, Therefore Not My TYPE.

LoL, shakuur...u have a point there. A man who is successful is a man who shares the same views as me. Not to mention he is HOT, but then agian, he's only attractive due the fact that he's educated. Men whom are talented and successful..somehow appear to me. His english :eek: , though i am half his age and grew up here, still not the same standards as him. WOW! About his other wife, soon i will be ripping her apart,....is she an Indian or English? The names of his kids, only indicate TWO things... 1) His Wife hasn't converted yet 2) he ain't that religious beats me, i still want him. Oh Rageh!

My Favourite Quotes By him: When we were making the law, when we were writing the literature and the mathematics the grandfathers of Blair and little Bush were scratching around in caves" "I speak better English than this villain Bush" "they are nowhere near the airport ..they are lost in the desert...they can not read a compass...they are retarded." "The situation is excellent, they are going to try to approach Baghdad...and I believe their grave will be there." "Who is this dog Franks in Qatar?" "the insane little dwarf Bush" Not to mention, he's cute old man.

Special report: Iraq - the media war Rageh Omaar wins it for BBC in Baghdad Ben Barnabas Monday April 14, 2003 The Guardian It is not just the military who are returning to a hero's welcome - the BBC's Baghdad reporter Rageh Omaar arrived back in Britain yesterday widely regarded as having won the journalistic battle of Baghdad for the broadcaster. BBC bosses praised their new star as rumours emerged that American news networks had their sights on recruiting the Somalian-born reporter. From his common vantage point on the rooftop of the Palestine Hotel in central Baghdad, Omaar quickly became the face of the Iraqi conflict for the British public. Liberated from his Iraqi minders last Wednesday, Omaar won 48% of the 4.3 million British viewers in the defining moment of the fall of the regime - when the statue of Saddam Hussein in central Baghdad was pulled down. Since the start of the war nearly 90% of the population have watched him on either the weekday BBC news bulletins or on News 24. Many of his broadcasts have been syndicated across the US, where The Washington Post labelled him the "Scud Stud" within a week of the first American missile hitting Baghdad. Rumours are now rife that the Johannesburg-based married father of one will follow British correspondent Lara Logan, who was snapped up to report for CNN last year. The BBC will be delighted by the plaudits its correspondent is receiving after a war in which it has been attacked by the government at times for its coverage. Omaar's colleague, Radio 4's Andrew Gilligan, was targeted by Downing Street after reporting the day after the regime fell that Baghdadis were experiencing their "first days of freedom in more fear than they have ever known before". Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Omaar, 36, said he had chuckled when he heard pundits deploring an "Iraqi bias" in Baghdad bulletins. "Yes, there are daily briefings by Iraqi ministers and carefully organised trips for journalists in the presence of ministry officials," he wrote. "But by putting such severe restrictions on where we are allowed to set up our broadcasting equipment, the regime ensures that many reports that they so diligently help us to gather are simply never sent out."

Profile: Rageh Omaar -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our man on the roof Amid bombs and bullets, crippled tanks and toppling statues, the BBC's man in Baghdad has remained cool and calm, lucidly recounting the defeat of Saddam. Little wonder his fan club is growing, here and in the US Vanessa Thorpe Sunday April 13, 2003 The Observer Confronted by daily news broadcasts that detail the bleakest of human activities - for example, groups of people killing each other - the British public can be relied upon to focus on some bright star in the darkness. In this war that bright star is Rageh Omaar. The Somalian-born television reporter has been propelled into a high-profile national position with amazing rapidity by the conflict in Iraq. Standing alone on his Baghdad rooftop, awaiting the allied onslaught each evening in early March, he quickly became a household fixture; a still point in the turning world, resplendent in his bright red fleece. As the face of the BBC on the terrestrial channels and on BBC News 24, Omaar's mere location at the eye of an accelerating storm had a drama he did not have to do much to communicate. But recently he has found himself in the thick of it, reporting on the death of colleagues in the hotel he shares with fellow journalists and commentating live on the drawn-out toppling of that recalcitrant statue with an energy and intensity that matched the historic moment. An astonishing 4.3 million viewers tuned into to Omaar as they waited for Saddam's bronze likeness to be pulled over at 3.45pm on BBC1 - that's 48 per cent of the audience share. Since the start of the war on 20 March nearly 90 per cent of the population have watched him on either the weekday BBC news bulletins or on News 24. The reports have been syndicated across the US too. This weekend, not surprisingly then, there are persistent rumours that American news networks are determined to poach him, as they have other British news presenters such as Daljit Dhaliwal, Brent Sadler and Lara Logan. CNN, it is said, has already made an offer, but the BBC are holding hard. 'We are delighted that other people think Rageh is doing as well as we do,' a spokeswoman said this weekend. And there has been fan mail. One elderly headmistress of a girls' school has confessed herself entranced by 'that nice boy', while Ann Treneman was merely the first national journalist to suggest in print that Omaar is the only war reporter who is getting better looking as the conflict progresses. Last month the New York Post dubbed him the 'Scud Stud' of this war (the name was coined during the 1991 Gulf conflict for NBC's Arthur Kent who also wrote regularly for The Observer ). Last week T-shirts bearing Omaar's noble features were printed and sold on the internet as mementos of the war, along, it must be admitted, with rival tops emblazoned with the less inspiring countenance of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, better known as the former Iraqi Information Minister, or Comical Ali. But if Omar has reached the status of cultural icon partly through talent, he has also got there by accident. When news editors planned coverage of the coming conflict they were wary of embedding their big-name journalists with the armed forces. It was feared their output might be controlled by the military. As a result the BBC's big names - John Simpson and Fergal Keane, for example - were held back and placed around the edges. When the fighting started, and particularly after the death of Terry Lloyd, it became clear much of the terrain 'in country' was too dangerous for free-wheeling journalists and news coverage began to rely on those who were 'embedded' outside the big cities and on those, like Omaar, in Baghdad. 'Other than in Baghdad and in northern Iraq,' said Richard Sambrook, head of BBC news, 'it's extremely difficult for us to work independently, on safety grounds - as the death of an ITN team showed - so we are inhibited from independent journalism in a way that we weren't during the first [1991] Gulf war.' Of course, Omaar is not the only British journalist in the capital. His radio colleague Andrew Gilligan, the Today programme's defence and diplomatic correspondent, has also been heavily employed, most notably when he was fired at live on-air a few days ago. Others have also been prominent, for instance, David Chater of Sky News and Lindsey Hilsum of Channel 4 News , who made a memorable visit to a hospital visit outside Baghdad early on. Print journalists have also made their mark in and around Baghdad, notably the war veteran Robert Fisk of the Independent, Suzanne Goldenberg of the Guardian and Anton Antonowicz of the Mirror . Yet it is Omaar and, increasingly, his colleague Gilligan who have been at the centre of another virtual battle, the infamous tug of war for hearts and minds. As representatives of British state-funded media they have been criticised for being mouthpieces of both the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation and the Bush Broadcasting Corporation. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Omaar said he chuckled when he heard pundits deploring an 'Iraqi bias' in Baghdad bulletins. 'If only they could spend a day with us in the press centre at Iraq's Ministry of Information in Baghdad, which was heavily bombed last night,' he wrote. 'Yes, there are daily briefings by Iraqi Ministers and carefully organised trips for journalists in the presence of Ministry officials. But by putting such severe restrictions on where we are allowed to set up our broadcasting equipment, the regime ensures that many reports that they so diligently help us to gather are simply never sent out.' Sensitivities reached their height with regard to Omaar when Centcom in Qatar claimed troops who fired on the Palestine Hotel and killed two television journalists were responding to enemy fire. Omaar was among those who testified that no sniper fire had been heard. Support for his performance from editors in London has been swift and total. Jonathan Baker, the BBC's Worldwide editor, told The Observer this weekend that one of Omaar's strengths was his depth of knowledge. 'Rageh has been reporting from the country on and off for more than six years and has spent several months there in the last year alone,' said Baker. 'As a result he speaks with a knowledge and authority which other writers less well-versed in Iraqi affairs and history cannot match.' Baker also praised his skills as a communicator. 'He has the classic virtues of the BBC foreign correspondent,' he added. 'Commitment to the story over a period, even-handedness in his reporting, and an ability to impart extra value to his coverage with explanations and analysis when required.' Omaar, who lives in Johannesburg when he isn't posted elsewhere, gains some of his insight from three months spent studying Arabic in Jordan in 1996. He was born in Mogadishu on 19 July 1967 and is the youngest of four children. Moving to Britain as a child, he went to Cheltenham Boys College and on to Oxford where he studied Modern History. He started out in journalism as a trainee at the Voice newspaper in Brixton and then worked for a short spell on the now-defunct London magazine City Limits, before moving to Ethiopia in 1991 where he freelanced for the BBC World Service. He returned to London the following year as a producer for Focus on Africa based in Bush House, home of the World Service, and then became producer/reporter on Newshour. After a period as the BBC's Amman correspondent in 1997, he covered the drought in Ethiopia and the floods in Mozambique as Developing World correspondent. Omaar's current title is Africa Correspondent, which is why he lives in South Africa with his wife Nina, a former occupational therapist and the daughter of Sir John and Lady Montgomery Cuninghame. The couple met at a wedding in India and now have two children, Loula, aged two, and a baby son called Sami. BBC sources suggest that he may well be seeing them all for the first time in more than six months this weekend. He is believed to be taking some well-deserved rest and recuperation, although he may find he is now more widely recognised in the streets of Jo'burg than he could ever have predicted. Colleagues have nothing but generous things to say about this journalist who remained cool and patient as the armed forces closed in, and then got appropriately excited when the people of Baghdad threw their shoes at the fallen dictator's bronze effigy. Aside from being a reporter with integrity, Omaar, like the BBC's Clive Myrie, is proving an inspirational figure for young black reporters. 'The Rageh you see on screen and hear on the radio is an exact match to the person you meet off-air,' says his boss Baker. 'Unassuming, unaffected, committed to his job and a thoroughly nice man.'
