With its strategic location, strengthening economy and strong Islamic revival within the population, Turkey is the shining star of the future. Masha'Allah.

Ibti Hello luv. Ah, Faheema is a 'Shaper' rather than a 'Shapee'. Got it. Cynical, so, what do you have for dinner to last you? Even glass of milk would have gone a long way for me.

*Waves* @ everyone. Feeling the effects of no suxuur today. Faheema, strange your boss doesn't have access to your calender. Every previous boss had access to mine and I usually demand access to those I work with closely. It saves a great deal of time and questions.

True, it's usually a protracted process so you never know.

JB, see below. The Somalia programme is managed from Saferworld’s Nairobi office with plans to establish an office in Somaliland in the near future. Zack, yup, it would be really good experience.

As we don't have a jobs section, thought there should at least be a thread for international development jobs in the Horn. I've seen quite a few roles come up in Somalia/land, in recent months. Anyway, here's one: Project Officer: Advocacy, Communications and Research – Somalia/Somaliland Organisation: Saferworld Salary: KSH 2,033,583 – 2,568,736 – KSH gross per annum Based in Nairobi, Kenya with frequent trips to Somalia/Somaliland, Kenya Closing date 25.08.2010 Posted date 10.08.2010 Job description: OneWorld.net Apparently 2 million Kenyan shillings is equivalent to about £16k, so the money is terrible, but if you work in the NGO sector and you need international experience, it's a perfect role.

Ramadan kariim, Nuune. Haahey, soo muslimi as many Irish ladies as possible. It's true, it's the perfect month to improve your diin.

That sucks. Insha'Allah khayr.

Oh good, hope your friend recovers quickly, I'A. Yes, yes, soontu wey noo bilaabantay. Are the crackers your suxuur?

^ Goodness, hope it isn't too serious. Unless you mean you're on the night shift? Morning and Ramadan kariim, JB and everyone else. It's raining at my ends, feels very Ramadani.

^ Trying to identify her sub sub-clan, are you?

^ Urm, it's not Ramadan yet? I am saving my energy for next week, I'A.

All this exercise and fitness talk is making me sick.

Afternoon kuli. Jimce wanaagsan! Can you smell the sambuuse?

Amiin! Ramadaan kariim to All! Can't believe how fast it's come up this year.

Brilliant and accomplished lady.

Good choice. You've got a war on your hands, NG - imagine when they hit puperty? Are you prepared?

Sayid - No. I never said a word. Never even smirked.

Sayid, as far as I could read, EVERYONE was talking about the baaldi business and finger-pointing your way.

Malika, I was wondering about that, but it seems it's something they've brought along from the Politics section.

Hi All. NG, and here I thought you'd missed me. If it's about A&T, bariis baa dheriga ii saaran.

What a fantastic idea - I love it.

I'm completely loving . :cool:

Sensationalist crap.

Nice photos - thanks for sharing.
