That's true, Malika. Definitely the lesser evil in that case.

Malika, Aw....that's the sweet thing about school. You develop the unlikeliest crushes.

Hahahaa @ Malika. Poor kid. It happens to the best of them, just tell him to dust himself off and choose his opponents more intelligently next time. Ibti, good to hear. I'm doing well too Alhamdulilaah.

I wouldn't personally, no. Funnily enough it was used even before the breakdown of Somalia, e.g. The Model Iman. Even though she was an educated girl from a well off family, she was represented as a poor desert girl by the media throughout her early career. I suppose I'm 'ho-hum' about it because it's one of the many things I let go in exchange for less grey hairs.

Obviously, but that's what plays well to the benefactors, whomever they may be. You'll see it used in almost every narrative that presents Somalis in a positive light.

I really don't like seeing children having to earn their own or family's income.

^ That comes as standard. It's our unique selling point. Beyond that though, it doesn't take away from her determination and hard graft.

Ha ha, funny. Imagine she came in wanting dhuxul. 'Macquul adoo dhuxul ah....'

MashaAllah, what a hard worker! Well done to her.

Howdy Ibti, how are you keeping? LoL..ha ka bajin Adam, he might not be 'ready' to tie the knot yet.

Wow..those are some celebrations! Thanks for the videos and pictures, MMA and Liibaan.

Hey Trolls, Massive storms and power outages ayaa nalugu saliday. Even worse I realised just how reliant on electricity I am, other than my mobile and books, everything else needs the electric stuff to work. Not good. JB, sorry to hear about the job, I'A you find even a better one than that one.

LoL, why is Aaliyah wrong in withdrawing her support for Mr X, Ayoub? Anybody would if someone crossed to the otherside in the middle of a stand-off! Oodweyne, I think it's too early to be making such sweeping statements, although I can understand the excitement reer-SL feel at this. I don't believe he will change anything for you or bring anything new to the status quo. I would say wait and see exactly what he delivers before rejoicing.

Rudeness. Can't abide rude people. Followed by lack of basic manners.

Wa calaykum wa salaam and welcome!

Damn, I was hoping Somalis weren't involved. Wishful thinking, dheh.

Not surprised by Xaglatoosiye, he is after all looking for a new job. Just surprised he managed to wait six months oo dhan. I wonder though, who are the rebels he is supposed to be leading now according to those articles, ma reer Buuhoodle baa? Because those people have bigger problems than where XT tries to find nourishment.

Khatumo is doing good work, laakiin waa inaan niicda yareyno oo activity-da badino. Lol @ mediating between KH and Puntland. Is there a real need for that? Surely hadal fiican uun baa looga baahanyahay, Mudane Faroole.

The beard is an exact replica of the hair - this is clearly photoshopped.

Couldn't be happier about Germany's demise. They were outclassed.

Ha ha ha @ I was told men have FEELINGS. Taas ma la hubaa? I would say, Maya, Soomalidu abaal malaha. Then again abaal-raadisku itself is an exercise in futility

Ha ha ha @ maalintuu Nabigu dhashay. Funny video. I can understand though, it can be difficult to keep those old dates in mind.

Do you know any other Kenyans in your city? Juxa, I can see how a legal argument could be made for temporary flashes of raalinimo. Malika, true, a good personality is a gift from Allah. And I would agree to your other assertion as well. It is what you make of it.

Finally had a look at the Xawaash website, amazing dishes. Narniah, I got my stash from London, but you can order it online as well, I think.
