Though I think Mayor Cabdiraxmaan has done a commendable job this past year, I still wish to withhold from giving him a passing grade, until after he finishes he completes his full tenure... In the meantime; three cheers are in order for a job well done, so far... So let's hear it for The Mayor: Hip-hip - HOORAY! Hip-hip - HOORAY! Hip-hip - HOORAY!

Hawsha annaga ayaa la wareegayne ^^LOL... Sxb, I think when Sayid said 'almost defection', he meant to say he 'almost defecated' on himself-- Get it? "defection"! "defecation"! Notice how similar the two word sound? Therefore this slip of the tongue can only be construed as a natural mistake on his part. Thus we ought to give this non-Sayid the benefit of doubt, just this once. But on the other hand-- it is what it is...waayo weligiis ninkaan xaar baa ka buuxay.

^ Ina Ducaale, that is very easy to answer... Firstly of all, unlike the petty puerile ninnies of Marfishland, we Puntlanders, like real men, never keep grudges like y'all. And unlike y'all, we are incapable of having any feelings of rancor for long periods of time. For real men fight and real men make peace. But punk pussies like y'all, choose instead to everlastingly cry foul and impertinently demand reparations in the form of silly secession and the pursuit of the break up of our country, as indemnity for the damage or supposed injury suffered during the early years of the Somali civil war. But I've got news for you hombre... your clan alone did not suffer in the civil war: Many other clans too, have suffered more horrendous atrocities and in fact, even today many others continue to do so. So answer me this-- what makes you think that your clan is so exceptional,so extraordinary, so important that you feel you ought to be treated differently when you are, in fact, in the same boat as every other Somali out there? This is why Cabdi Qeybdiid is welcome in Gaalkacyo and any other place else in Somalia. That some Somalis fought in the past, does not mean that Somalis will always remain at loggerheads with one another.

Abwaan Cali Xassan Warsame's new song dedicated to Puntland is truly a very nice song. However I wouldn't go as far as calling it Puntland's "State Anthem" or for that matter, anybody else. Our one true National Anthem is this one I have transcribed below and the one we share with all Somalis all over the world...So learn it, love it and live it!

^ It is all the same taradiddle and petty prevarication from the same marqaan incapacitated buffoons as always. So they aint nothing here to get worked about... p.s It would be wise for our resident secessionist troglodyte to learn the difference between a Government Minister and what a local Mayor of a City is!

By: Husein Soyan The President of Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, Mr. Sharif – a former Madras a teacher in Mogadishu, came to power after Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah - the UN Special Representative to Somalia, had leveraged their parliament more than hundred percent, (equivalent to the size of India) to promote Sharif who became a national liability and whose policies resulted in a second wave of humanitarian disaster after his predecessor, Abdalla Yusuf. Some were hopeful and truly believed that Mr Sharif would work to reconcile the feuding Somalis and rebuild their tattered nation. Unfortunately that hope was short- lived. Whilst the failure of Mr. Sharif’s tenure cannot be recounted here, it is worth highlighting some of the more deliberate and jarring ones: Shortly after he was elected, Mr. Sharif wasted no time in seeking the help of the Ethiopian regime – a support for which he had previously criticized his predecessor, Abdalla Yusuf. His opponents allege that President Sharif not only lacks effective decision-making skills to lead a government, but even worse, he has also been accused of being shamelessly self-serving, and therefore not be trusted. A case in point was that when the President met the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, earlier this year, Sharif failed to observe a simple but requisite protocol for a visit of this nature and undiplomatically excluded his foreign minister from the meeting with Ms. Clinton. His befuddled, and soon to-be deposed, foreign minister was still lounging at the Embassy reception whilst the former Sheik basked in the glow of Ms. Clinton who could only make a disparaging statement that “He [sharif] is the best hope we’ve had in quite some time for a return to stability and the possibility of progress in Somalia”. We can only speculate as to what transpired between Mr. Sharif and Ms. Clinton. What is clear from his short, but doomed presidency is that he is far from giving the beleaguered Somali people even the slightest glimmer of hope. In fact, the general fear among the population of Mogadishu is that whenever Mr Sharif leaves or re-enters his two mile protected areas, AMISOM continually shells the main Bakara market, the same area where 30 civilians were killed in a single day as a collective punishment for residing in an area controlled by his opponents. The international NGOs reported that the AMISOM’s civilian casualty rate has reached more than five thousands since AMISOM came to Mogadishu, and yet unsurprisingly the President never spoke against the civilian casualties caused by his supreme Generals (AMISOM). If shelling civilians and consorting with the dictator Meles Zenawi is bad enough, Mr. Sharif’s biggest crime to date is the selling of our continental sea-shelf to President Mwai Kibaki, despite the fact that members of parliament voted unanimously against this treacherous act. He, in turn, blamed the parliament for intervening in the government’s fundraising strategies! In short, the above leadership assessment clearly proves that Mr Sharif lacks the experience, skills and patriotism needed for the reconciliation and rebuilding of the Somali nation. Those who know Somali history well will acknowledge that Somali people will never accept any imposed government, engineered from outside, as well as foreign interventions. The political manoeuvrings of Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah had made Somali an experimental field for bad policies in order to advance his self-interest since there is a possibility of him standing for election in Mauritania. I hope his questionable policy will not be transposed to another brother state. Currently, there are allegations that Somalis have now inherited the most corrupt and incompetence government in their history and the two –mile President (Mr. Sharif) can easily win the Award for the Most Dishonest President in the entire world, and if not removed, could cause continuation of civil war in Somalia, and the replication of the Afghani situation.

Sonnet 43: How do I love thee, let me count the ways by Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right. I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints—I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

This Longing by Martin Steingesser ... awoke to rain around 2:30 this morning thinking of you, because I'd said only a few days before, this is what I wanted, to lie with you in the dark listening how rain sounds in the tree beside my window, on the sill, against the glass, damp cool air on my face. I am loving fresh smells, light flashes in the black window, love how you are here when you're not, knowing we will lie close, nothing between us; and maybe it will be still, as now, the longing that carries us into each other's arms asleep, neither speaking least it all too soon turn to morning, which it does. Rain softens, low thunder, a car sloshes past.

Money by John Updike Money is such a treat. It takes up so little space. It takes no more ink for the bank to print $9,998 than to print $1,001. It flows, electronically; it does not gather dust. Like water, it (dis)solves everything. Oceanic, it is yet as lucid as a mountain pool; the depositor can see clear to the sandy bottom. It is ubiquitous and under pressure, yet pennies don't drip from faucets. Money is so tidy, so neat. It is freedom in action: when you give a twenty-buck bill to the cabbie, you don't tell him how to spend it. He can blow it on coke, for all you care. All you care about is your change. No wonder the ex-Communists are dizzy. In the old Soviet Union there was nothing to buy, nothing to spend. It was freedom of a kind, but not our kind. We need money, the dull electric thrill when the automatic teller spits out the disposable receipt.

Meditation on the Word Need by Linda Rodriguez The problem with words of emotion is how easily meaning drains from their fiddle-sweet sounds and they become empty instruments. I can say love and mean desire to give— open-handed, open-hearted— or I am drawn to the light shining from your soul— or my life is empty without you— or I want to run my hands and mouth down the length of you— or all of these at once. Need, now, is a plain word. I need a nail to hang this picture. I need money to pay my bills. I need air and light, water and food, shelter from storm and sun and cold. To be healthy, to be sane, to survive, I need you.

I believe there are plenty of guys who fall in the gray area between these differing stereotypes of Somali male-hood that you have overlooked. This is why you ought to create a 4th category that somewhat straddles all the other 3. There are many Somali brothers who are well versed in the tenets of their religion and practice it diligently, and are somewhat well "educated" in earthly forms of knowledge too. And they also generally have a very good grasp of their Somali culture and identity. So there you go... who says you sisters can't have the best of 3 worlds with regards to Somali brothers, huh?

^ I don't believe you. They will use the monies to purchase suicide vests for your Shabab goons who quickly running out of resources these days. Now go sell your con scheme to some other, easily duped group of Somalis.
