Good news. But when did Bardhere (one of my favourite towns besides Luuq Ganaane) share a border with Dhuuso mareeb? Bardhere (and the rest of somalia) needs primary schools and high schools- not universities. Don't you think?

Alle u Baahane, iyo Wiilo, Dhowr bilood ayaan ka maqnaa malkoodyinka internetka ee soomalidda. markii iigu dambeeysay dad badan ayaa ku qori jirey bogagaan "allow xamar nabad keen" "konfurta waa inaay iska saaraan yalaxow, qanyare, qeybdid iýo kuwa la hal maala". Waxaan moodi jirey in dadkaasi aay yihiin dad jecel soomalinimada, kana xun arrimaha konfurta ka dhacaayey. Waxaa yaab ila noqotay markaan arkey inaay dadkaasi hadda taageerayaan tuugada/burcada ku bahoowday dilka iyo sheeydhaanka. Qabilka waxaad moodaa inuu dadkeena dhiiga ka galay. Rationality malaha ee waa "qabilkeeyga ama dagaal". Somalidda meel waliba oo aay joogto waa inaay ku faraxdaa wixii konfurta ka dhacay. Ruuxaa aan ku farxina waa munaafuq! Munaafuqnimada ummadeena waxaay ku soo hartay internetka. Waxaay u baahanyihiin duco. Alow jidka toosan tus, qulubtoodana ka saar qabiilka.

Good news, No one wants to side with losers! the TFG would be history. It is going to be toppled.

Ngonge, It is those of us who live in the relatively peaceful "west" who are cynical. Of course we have every right to be sceptical and to ask questions. But what about the millions whose lives have been wrecked by the warlords? The IUC is a saviour for them. For the first time in the last 15 years or so a new era has emerged. There is alot to be desired: The IUC should not engage in petty things like canning people who watch football games, spot a haircut or watch movies. But those kinds of things take a back seat in the minds of the millions of somalis who have witnessed warlordism and conflict entrepreneurship. I spoke to a few relatives in somalia- and those in Muqdisho claim that things are improving (and they think people in the west (like me) are living in a life of illusion for asking weird questions about the motives, structures and strategies of the IUC. I think any sane somali should give the IUC the benefit of the doubt. There is a lot of negative reporting on their progress and accomplishments. We should not blv everything that is expressed by those who hate them (many of those against the IUC do so from a deep hatred that could be sourced to tribalism). p.s what is Ngonge? A former kenyan cabinet minister? Wiilo, Inkastoo aan wadaada ku racsanhay waxyaabo badan haddana waxaay ila tahay inaay habooneeynin inaay farta ku fiiqaan Amxaaro. On the contrary, they should point the finger at the somali lackeys (the TNG). Waging a war on ethiopia defies conventional military wisdom. The amxaaros could bomb muqdisho and other towns. Conquering is another thing though. I think if the IUC continues with its strategy (less the propaganda about amxaaro), they could succeed in toppling the dawlad isku sheega. Abdullahi yusuf , Geedi and the rest would face the same music that Yalaxow, Qanyare et faced.

Shariif Xasan is in my opinion a peace loving person. But he is powerless. He would be remembered for flying different airlines without getting mileage bonuses. Shariifka has been sidelined by the advent of another shariif. I wonder how his journey and meeting in Muqdisho (if it is realised) would be reported: "Shariif Xasan oo maanta la kulmay sheikh shariif oo ka codsadey shiikh shariif inuu ka tanusulo magaca sharafta leh....

Asalamu calaykum, The IUC have brought some light to the dark situation in southern somalia. Alxamdulilah mugdii waa laga baxay. Laakin faanole fari kama qodno; They need to provide rehabilitation to the young who know nothing but Moryaanism. They need to have a coherent policy towards social issues; an economic policy and public relations experts.

Asalamu calaykum, Waxaa wax la yaabo leh in dadka soomaliyeed aay noqdeen dad aan qancin. 15 sanno ka hore dadka soomaliyeed waxaay ka cabaadi jireen xukumadii ka jirtay soomaliya. xukumadii markaay dhacday waxaa ka dhacday soomali dil, kufsi, arsi iwm oo lug ku leh qabyaalada. 15 sanno oo mugdi ah ayaa la soo maray. Jamhuuriyadii Carta waay burburtay Jamhuuriydii qabyaalada ee Doofareey waxay jiiftaa cisbitaalka. lix bilood ka hore dadka soomalidda ah waxaay sida badan faraha ugu fiiqayeen Xamar oo aay ka jirtey burcadnimo. 12 sanno xamar waxaay aduunka keeneysay hogaamiye moryaan. Dad badan ayaan boggaan waxaay ku qoreen in xamar laga saaro burcadaasi. Burcadii xamar aay Carta, Doofareey ka saari weysay waxaa lagu ceyriyey maalmo gudahooda iyadoo dhiig badan uusan ku daadanin. Alxamdulilah dadka masaakinta ah oo xamar degan nabad ayaa u timid. Guushaan lama gaaren haddii aaysan dadkaasi la imaanin mabda kale ee ka duwan kan qabyaaladda iyo afmiinshaarnimada. Waxaa la yaab leh in dad badan oo soomali ah oo oran jirey allow xamar iyo konfuurta nabad keen aay maanta la safteen burcadii oo aay taageero kal iyo laab ah aay u fidiyaan BURCADDA- Jaalow dhinac dooro- ma diinta ayaad raacsantahay mise qabiilka? Waay jiraan arrimo badan oo dadka isku sheega maxkamadaha aay ku dhaqaaqeen oo aan lagu qancin karin- sida arrimaha bulshada, qabyaalad dahsoon, etc laakin waa in dhaqdhaqaaq kaste oo nabad noo keeni kara la taageeraa. Suaalo: War ma ilaah baad aaminsantahay mise qabiilkaaga? War sooma uma jeedid nabada la gaarey? War maxaad u taageereysaa dawlad ka koobaan dad umad islaan ah la'aayey? War maxaad maalina ugu hadleeysaa af gaale maalina af islaan? Soomaliyey maxaa idin qancin karo???? Ma qanceeysaa in ruux aan qabilkaaga ka tirsaneeyn uu nabad ka keeno soomaliya? Soomaaliya, islaamka iyo carliga soomaaliyeedba ha la xureeyo.

Assalamu calaykum, 1.1960-1969 the somali republic 2. 1969-1991 the communist republic 3. 1991-2000 the anarchist republic 4. 2000-2006 the tribal republic 5. 2006- the islamic republic. Our motto: Gaal dooni meeyno Lacag qaate dooni meeyno Amxaaro raac dooni meeyno qabiiliste dooni meeyno Where are Bashir Raage? Yalaxow, Qanyare? The warlords who terrorised somalis? Gone!!!! It is reported that their tanks, guns etc have been looted ( Bililiqo is a word that haunts those who invented it). I fail to understand how a somali muslim refuses to offer his/her support to the islamic revolution. Abdullahi Yusuf and his government in Baidoa has two choices: 1. Surrender and accept the new realities (there is no place for warlords in the new somalia) 2. Expect to be humiliated and maybe slaughtered.

Assalamu calaykum, We have two chose : 1) Dirty warlords (a new one is born every second), who have killed, raped etc. They have recieved money from various sources to further their goals of making sure somalis are killed daily. 2) The maxkamadaha who claim to bring islamic rule. I support the maxkamadaha because 1) Their message is Islam (don't get me wrong, there are many individuals/groups who have tribal motives- or at least that is the claim made by the cadowga somalidda) and that only powerless people are brought to justice.2) Because they offer alternative forms of rule. Islam is the only unifying solution to somalia's problems. Every other thing has failed ! 3) Despite the cheap propaganda that these wadaads have a tribal agenda, there is evidence that they have brought law and some kind of order using the message of the Quran 4) They have according to reports captured 80% of Muqdisho. They command support among somalis everywhere , Puntland, somaliland, gelinka shanaand and the NFD have muslim somalis who would support them. In the middle, we have a government that is not recognised internationally or at home. It seems that the mobile government is going to end up in every region before it wanes as the Carta government. Abdullahi Yusuf, Geedi and the qaadwade shariif turned sheydhaan have tried every state of the art to gain financial backing; Fighting terrorism; Sorry guys, that is something for the 12 warlords! Qabiil; sorry guys somalis are tired. Go wadaads! Muse Suudi, Qanyare, Maxamed Dheere, Hebelkaa raage, and the many warlords are going to use the cash from the USA to enrich their families or send their kids to oversease. Guuleeysta! Somalis have tried everything; Let us give the wadaads sometime. This is the begining of a revolution. Today it is Mogadishu, tommorow Beled weyne, Garowe, Bosaso, Baydhabo, Hargeisa. And what do we do on websites? We condemn our only hope! Many of us do that because the wadaads threaten our tribally poisoned logic! We should suppport the wadaads against the devil because Suudi and Company are devils!

Asalamu calaykum, Nuur, Mutakalim, Baashi and Viking. Wow! What a discussion. These were the days when people really discussed. Nuur, unfortunately because of a busy schedule, I wouldn't be able to read e-nur on SOL. would it be possible to subscribe to it (using the e-mail)?

Wacdaro, Three things: 1) I don't care whether you are student at Cambridge, or a folkhögskola, whatever that is? (why do I get the feeling that you use it in a boastful way?). The word solicit is used differently in different contexts. Outside the legal system (by the way what is a solicitor?) people have free will to use a word. According to the webster, the word could mean differently. The most laughable sentence ever written on somalinet is : "The case precedent provided by Ruth Elliot v Royal Bourough of Chelsea and Kensington provided where the judges ruled that the word soliciting would only be used for that sole purpose." There are no precedents in using a word! This coming from a student of Camdbrige???? War Camdbrige- xaal qaado! Walaahi, I am doubting that you have ever seen the walls of a university. As an academic, one is taught that there are no rights or wrongs. Don't they teach that at Cambridge????? Don't they encourage you to use concepts in different contexts to provoke or make a point???? 2) Obviously, your knowledge of the swedish political system is limited . Sweden differs from many countries in the way things ae conducted. It is not unusual (anyone could request to meet with leaders!) We don't have the wall of politics that many nations have. It is easy as a citizen or an organisation to ask for a meeting with a representative of any government. Once there is a date and place fixed for such a meeting- the foreign office or any department for that matter would release a press message. I have been to many companies/many government buildings alone or with a delegation- and I have seen our delegation's name on press documents. When the Sharif and that warlord in Lund (qaybdid) came there were received by officials. The swedish government did not officially invite Cabdullahi Yusuf. He was invited by a somali organisation (riksförbund) and it is that organisation that requested to meet officials. In the spirit of the swedish system, they were granted a meeting with officials. In the normal circumstance of an official invitation, a president is accorded court with the head of state (King!). 3)Sweden and many other nations for that matter have provided funds through the NGOs for many decades. We have research organisations, ecumenical organisations and development organisations involved in somalia and elsewhere. Swedish foreign aid has been a feature of sweden since the second world war. There is a donor conference organised by sweden and italy. A pilot conference in this context was arranged- and I attended it. And this was a fiasco. It showed how retarded somalis are! Walaahi, there were many somalis that attended it in a small northern town. Many of them representatives of qabiil based organisations and a few academics. After discussing the situation in somalia- someone said to represent the government of somali spoke; He had an "expert"- a swedish consultant. He claimed that the conference should raise BILLIONs of DOLLARS!!!!!! He was talking about the restructing of the economy, building the nation from scratch- training armies, policing, buying arms to defend the "nation" etc. When asked several questions pertaining to how these funds would be raised- he did not give an answer. The worst part of this debacle was when the other organisations presented their versions. Walaahi, as a somali academic, I have never felt such a shame of seeing my people argue in such a shallow manner! If You or anyone is expecting that sweden would provide funds to the so called somali government to buy arms, suffocate regions, fight islamism (a term used to denote those who you disagree with) then, you are mistaken sxb. The EU (which sweden is part of) and many other nations have adopted a wait-and-see stance on the somali government. I don't think it has been officially recognised. I am not " kool aid" ( I hate Oreilly- but I love the term) consumer.

Wacdaro, My objective with this thread was not to brng forth the usual "somali" discourse of OUR PRESIDENT! or " A warlord" argument. It was merely to report the events that took place the last two weeks. As a somali, you should have adressed the TVshow.. But obviously, it appears that you have opted to raise the "president's" visit to unprecented hights. This is not unusual, given the contemporary discourse , much of it based on tribalism ( a very primitive unit of analysis). It is not uncommon for an emancipited mind to see somalis like you calling hills- mountains- calling villages cities- warlords-presidents- private visits-state visits etcetc I have reread what is in SVD and I could not find the Ericcson, The bank of sweden (somaliweyn carried a story about him meeting with the president of sparbanken) but that is pure lies. See below, for details of the president, and members of the board). Could it be that he met a branch manager? information manager? This is very typical of somalis. A watchman, a civil servant, a branchmanager etc become PM, ministers and bankpresidents! nonsense- nor did I find anywhere it says he has been invited. This is purely a propaganda that some jobless somalis or tribal thugs would make us believe. For THE RECORD; I even called the foreign ministry (and I challenge you to do that!) and they are not aware of the swedish government inviting him. Your president has been invited by a loose organisation representing somalis in Sweden. Actually, this organisation and others do not represent somali- but a self wining ´jaaliyad that is manned by parasital )lazy somalis). What do you mean by protocol???????????? WAS ABDILLAHI YUSUF ON A STATE VISIT? Did you listen to p1???? Meeting representatives of companies ( I doubt that he met with CEOs) ?- The issue of him meeting the ceo was carried by websiteweyn- and a little board speaks volumes about the lies= http://www.fsb.se/sst/inf/out/infOutWww/0,,9120,00.html "To solicit" is a common verb and could even mean asking. You need to consult a dictionary , my friend- my english is not that good- But your fending off soliciting as a term only used to describe prostitutes is a fallacy- and a mockery of the language. Do you mean a solicitor ( a legal representative) is a prostitute? You have obviously a limited vocublary bro! For your convinience, here is what the webster says about the verb solicit: "Main Entry: so·lic·it Pronunciation: s&-'li-s&t Function: verb Etymology: Middle English, to disturb, take charge of, from Middle French solliciter, from Latin sollicitare to disturb, from sollicitus anxious, from sollus whole (from Oscan; akin to Greek holos whole) + citus, past participle of ciEre to move -- more at SAFE, -KINESIS transitive senses 1 a : to make petition to : ENTREAT b : to approach with a request or plea 2 : to urge (as one's cause) strongly 3 a : to entice or lure especially into evil b : to proposition (someone) especially as or in the character of a prostitute 4 : to try to obtain by usually urgent requests or pleas intransitive senses 1 : to make solicitation : IMPORTUNE 2 of a prostitute : to offer to have sexual relations with someone for money synonym see ASK " Now tell me whose english is below standard????? So, mr. English, what is the message of the paper? I couldn't find any reference that is positive to Yusuf's cause (or even your stance). In your translation, you refrain from giving the readers, the bibliography of Mr. Yusuf as a warorld, as responsible for our plight. Why don't you translate the whole article for the readers to decide (including the bibliography)? That could be a challenge- don't you think? Anyway, Mr Wacdaro, I don't visit this website and other websites to engage in discussions that have become part of our culture (fadhi ku dirir issues, internet based tribal discussions, wear a tribal shirt and make sure what I write is in line with tribal views etc.).' Marka nabadeey- and good luck with your president's state visit . I hope that King Karl Gustav offers him court, that Göran Persson recieves him and promises him financial and military support to subdue his opponents- that oil companies sign an agreement of prospecting- with advance payments and that he succeeds in using force to become a defacto ruler.- If you want to engage in bilaa macno discussion, I am sure you will find many willing people on this website and others- but for my part I am done.

Assalamu calaykum, Ibn Cabaas , this sounds like a western political declaration; We want a multi cultural society! When I first saw the topic I thought you meant embracing the many somali sub cultures- and not ónly the normenculture of Geela. The somali culture according to the self appointed cultural police is Geel-based culture! What we call murti is actually pastrolism based culture- with poems, songs and dances that have connotations to the lifestyles of the reer baadiyo(reer miyi). The self appointed cultural police with the help of successive governments has belittled the sub cultures that have developed on the coastal towns and the farming lands. It is not unusual for these thugs to fend off songs/poems as teethless (MURTI MA LAHA). This ****** mentality is captured when a geel singing somali meets a diiq singing somali: W Geel singing somali: Hasha maandeeq maan maalmo Diikh singing somali: Diiq maxaas iri, kukukuk Geel singing somali: War waxaasi murti ma aha! I say let us embrace the many forms of somali cultures; Diiq should have the same cultural/economic vigour as the ratiga. What say ya?

Assalamu calaykum, Viking, mahadsanid. Many of us on these boards and at fadhi ku dirirs don't know what "a debate is", let alone how to debate. It is not uncommon to see somalis claiming to participate in "dood cilmiyeeysan"- in essense arguing.

Assalamu calaykum, One of the Swedish dailies (Svd)carried a story about the visit of the president of somalia to Stockholm. According to the daily, the president was in Sweden to solicit financial backing to rebuild a failed state. After pointing out that he was not invited officially and outlining the many negative connotations that are used to describe somalia (warlords, famine, terrorism), the paper went on to give the reader a description of how spenderthrift the president is: 1) Despite representing a poor nation, the president and his delegation lived lavishly in Grand hotel- an expensive hotel that is used by presidents and kings. 2) The president was flanked by bodyguards who searched the reporters and others who wanted to talk to him. The key thesis was that Grand Hotel, despite housing dictators and presidents has never seen a president representing a poor nation with so many body guards and expensive lifestyles. 3) The president called for the lifting of the arms embargo on somalia- and stated that the terrorists in somalia would best be fought by his adminstration- according to him, foreign aid should be channelled through his government - to buy arms so thathe could free the people. The president's visit was also relayed by the dailies (tabloids) which focused on the paradox between a poor nation and the expensive lifestyle of the president. The swedish radio daily show did also an interview with the president- and a swedish government official who stated that, sweden and the Eu has yet to recognise the government of somalia. My own impression is that we (somalis) are doomed to rot as stateless- and be belittled as a people and a nation. P.s The swedish TV program "uppdrag granskning"- an opinion building program (watched by many) showed the extent of "islamism" ( I don't know what is that) in sweden- by drawing on what took place in Gothenburg. According to the show, the somalis in Sweden were exposed to a new form of islam- that is against integration. Two somali reporters from somaliweyn ( a radio-internet site) were interviewed and they claimed that the new islamists were threatening people who did not live a lifestyle of salafism. Several cuts from videos from the annual islamic conferences in Gothenburg were showed. Many sheikhs including Sheikh Cumar Faaruq were shown pointing fingures and using "GAALADA" several times. I think the show is accessible on somaliweyn.org . Thus, the president of somalia came when somalia/somalis was an issue in swedish domestic politics.

Toloow ma dhaanishka ayaay ku mudaharaadeen? Xarig wadaad waxaay noqotay ilo dhaqaale.

Asc, Inkastoo soomaalidda aay ku maahmaahdo MALAG IMAADEY MARRO MA REEBTO- haddana aniga waxaay ila tahay in soomali Quraan la saaro- afar faataxo, marrooyin and duco. Waxaani waa waali ee bal aan ilaahey ka barino inuu dadkeena caafiyo. Waxaa kale oo aay ila tahay in la bilaabo dhaqdhaqaaq xagga diinta ah oo la soomo ilaa uu qof wadaad ah wadanka qabsado. Si loo daawoobo, waxaa habboon in dadka culumaaudiinka, dadka aqoonta kale leh aay la dagaalamaan qabiilka. Haddii wadaad kaste uu inkiro qabiilkiisa waranle waa ka tagayaa.

Assalamu calaykum Maskiin "Culusoowgii biibitooyinka Istar iyo kuwii kale taagnaa shimee "cabinet" ku jiray? Hadana "governor of central bank?" Ar maxaa jago sharafta laga qaaday." Xaad ka rabtaa igaarka maandhow? Seriously speaking none of the cabinet ministers (including the dakhtar xoolaha), the president and even the qaadwade shariif have the merits to run a biibito let alone a dawlad. If you go to Stockholm and I guess many cities the only people who talk about dawlad are losers. Someone from stockholm visited the little village I call home last month and according to romours this guy is going to be the new somali safir in Stockholm. He calls himself Dr without attaining any degrees; He has been living in sweden 14 years without holding a job; But when the talk about government this loser saw a window of opportunity and he is everywhere talking to the gaalos about helping the government- and starting consular activities. Our Dr. Culusow above makes some valid points. Shalay waa Jowhar maanta waa Baydhabo saadambe waa ceelbuur, saakuma waa Kismayo. These so called government spends more time begging donors in the west and arab countries than bring peace. I see a pattern that is developing. This government is not different than Ina Salad Boys'. Adisababa, Arte and Nairobi.. toloow 2008 xaggee lagu qaban doonaa shirka dib u heshiinta (dib u heshiisin is not actually the problem) . Somali waa heshiisay waxaay ku heshiisay in aaysan weligeeda heshiinin. Aniga waxaay ila tahay in soomali dhibaatadeeda aay tahay mid ku lugaha ku sidata "DAwlad". "Dawlad" waxba ma keeno; dhib ,dil iyo dhac unbaay keenta.

Somali websites=doqon ma waaye=fadhi ku dirir=baar bagamoondo. I have been following this case: On the one hand we have a famous somali poet/composer/playwright (ma ogtahay ugaasooy) who revealed how life in the west could be (qabyo 1 was a great movie!). We see our the few intellectia we have or had (Sayid, sangub, hadraawi, abdi qeys, ma shaaiqda farah badan) as people who are morally superior, who are not fallible. On the other hand we are aware of the rights of individuals of crime. This young lady has claimed that sangub molested her. She is a victim and should be treated as such. Where she is from is irrelevant. Even if she was a gaal from habar kuleey, she has been sexually abused (at least that is what she claims). The matter is now in the hands of the judicial system of the US and let us wait for the verdict. If he is guilty he should face the consequences. If he is vindicated then we should hurl words at this sick woman who has caused our man sangub, the somali community suffering. Walaahi waan seexan waayey markii aan maqlay warkaan. I felt that sangub somehow let us down as somalis. But there are two stories to every event and I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait and see how the court proceedings come and go.

Maskiin, Bro, this is the problem with the BBC that many somalis fail to recognise. It is not uncommon for a BBC reporter to laugh at the names of some individuals or ask "maxaad tiri" or "ma waxaad leedahay". The malaaqs and others in the process attempt to use mainstream somali and his language instead of the issue becomes a subject. Yusuf dadna shaqada kama uusan ceyrinin I know some of those people on the list and they were not sacked.

Assalamu calaykum, We , the somalis have the tendency of using tribalism as a tag to condemn or condone things. We are so brianwashed by tribalism that somalis would even pose the question of "nabiga waa qolomaa" subxaanalah!!!!! A few weeks ago I was at a graduation ceremony for a somali- and a few somalis attended. Walaahi I could overhear one of the somalis asking "Dhoktoorkaan waa qolomaa"! Even if the BBC had a senior editor that is not called Yusuf Garaad, the questioning and criticism would never vanish. Complaints would be launched. I must admit that the last time I listened to the BBC was 1995- but I have family and friends who listen to it -and it still remains the major source of news. Most of my friends are what one might call "neutral" and they report that Yusuf Garaad was appointed editor because of his competencies- I have read what a Mr. Ogle wrote sometime and I am afraid he did not make a good case. You can't simply hate someone because he belongs to another tribe!!!!!!!!!!! If you think that somalia is going to be a communist country with only one source of information (sanctioned by the government)that would never happen. Should the BBC extend support to the government? Why should it? It is not a propaganda machine! There are two issues to which there are very few critics but which need to be discussed: 1) Why the BBC somali service? Is this some kind of post colonial strategy of controlling information? The BBC uses her majesty's perspective. 2) The somali service- I have no data but I have this hypothesis that most somalis don't speak the somali spoken by the BBC somali service. Why shouldn't the BBC employ someone from Bay and Bakool? From Banadir? from Bosaso? The last time I listened the reporter in London was speaking to someone ( a leader in Baidoa) and everytime the dude (he attempted to speak in mainstream somali) used a few words from his mother tongue, the reporter mocked him!!! The BBC should employ an eebow, an abaa, a boowe, an ariro.

Assalamu calaykum, Alle-u-bahaane- waa mowluuc fiican oo u baahan in laga doodo- waxaan rajeeynayaa in dadka "boggaan" yimaada oo qabyaalada ku qoraacdo aaysan naga qasin. Anigu run ahaantii waxaan ahay qof soomali ah oo doonaayo (kuna riyoodo) in ummadda soomaliyeed meel kasto aay joogto aay midoowdo- qabiilkana laga baxo. Anigu ma aaminsani qabiilka (ilaahey wejigiisa waxaan meel fagaaro ah ka sheegay inaan ka baxay qolada laigu sheegay inaan ka dhashay). Sababta iigu wacan waxay ahayd in markii aan u dhabagalay biyo shubka qabiilka oo ila noqday wax aan caqli, cilmi, diin midna ku dhisaneeyn. Soomaaliya marxalad adag ayaay soo martay (anigu ma aanan joogin afrika markaay xumaantaasi dhaceeysay)- dad soomaaliyeed ayaa loo laayey sabab qabyaaladeed (hargeisa, mudug iyo konfurtaba). Maadama xumaan aad u xun dadka dhexmartay waa la fahami karaa in la sameeyey degaan isku magacaabay somaliland, puntland, jubbaland, hiiranland etc. Xaqiiqduse waxaay tahay in goobahaasi aay saldhig ku wataan arrimo qabyaaladeed. Anigu ruux ahaan raali ayaan ka ahay in tuulo kasto, degmo kaste aay go'ado haddii lagu caafimaadayo- haddaba dhul gaalo ayaan deganahay, ee maxaan u aadi waayey soomaliland (oo ay deganyihiin dad aan isku af nahay, isku diinahay) ama puntland. Laakin sida xaqiiqda ah taasi imaan meeyso ilaa waqti maadaama xumaan xun aay ummaddii dhexmartay. Dadka aniga ila midka ah (inkastoo qaar aay gashay cuqdada qabyaalada) waxaay aadayaan NFD. Arrinta ku saabsan soomaliland, waa mid adag - waxaad moodaa in istaraatejida aay tahay aqoonsi- wax lagu helo aqoonsi oo aan dawarsi ka ahayn ma jirto- ama lacag adag ah oo deeq ah, oo sababayso in qoloqolo loo kala baxo. Guusha maanta la gaaray kuma dhisno dawladnimo iyo aqoonsi ee waxaay ku xirantahay dedaal ka yimid dadka. Qof kaste oo soomali ahna waa inuu ku farxaa.

Maskiin macruuf akhyaar, saaxib waan kula qabaa intaad sheegtay oo idil. Taarikhda soomaliyeed kama maqneen argagaxsnimo tan iyo markii xornimada (Hargeisa, xamar, mudug) iyo inta ka dambeeysay 1991. Laakin anigu waxaan sheegay "argagaxsinimada" lagu qaraabto. Ogoow gaal waxba kama galin haddaay soomali islaaynayso- oo waxaa hantidiisa iyo dhegihiisba lagu soo jedin karaa oo qur ah "irhaabi, aragaxgaso" iwm. Maanta wuxuu xaalka joogaa in lagu qaraabto, hantina lagu helo. Allow fiicnaan lahaydaa haddii la soo qabqabto moryaan, tuugada, dadka boobay dhulka dadka kalay, dilna geestay- laakin maanta kuwaasi lagama wado- tuugada waxaasi sameeysay ayaa ku qaraabanayo. Waxaa qarka loo saaranyahay in dad soomaaliyeed oo waxba galabsanin lagu weeraro irhaabi waaye (dhulka iyo dibada). 2002 liis ayaa tusaale ahaan tuugada xamar joogto (Caydid), Abdullahi yusuf aay u gudbiyeen ethiopia oo ka kooban 15 wadaad oo aay ku tilmaameen argagaxiso! Waan ogsanahay in qaar isku sheega wadaado aay dadka degan shabeelooyinka argagax ku haayaan; sidoo kale jubbooyinka waxaa ka socda argagax- laakin dadkaasi looma jeedo!

Assalamu calaykum, Baashiyow, maqaalkaan waxaan qoray shalay mar aan daawanaayey dood ka socotay aalada laisku daawadoo(TV)dalkaan. Laba qof oo soomaali ah ayaa ka doodeeysay dhibaatada gudniinka. Aaaradooda ma aaysan ahayn mid ku saabsan dhibaatada gudniinka ee soomaliya ee waxaay ahayd mid ku lug leh in gabdho soomaaliyeed ee degan Yurub loo kaxeeyo soomaliya si loo soo gudo! Wariyihii ayaa weydiyey inaay jiraan hablo dibada loo kaxeeyey, hase yeeshe waay bixin waayeen jawaab. ururkaasi waxaa lagu maal geliyaa lacag canshuur ah : markii aan u dhabagalay waxaa ii cadaatey in ujeedadoodu aay tahay in faafiyaan warar xun xun oo aan saldhig lahayn. Xaqiiqdu waxaay tahay in gudninka lala dagaalamayo soomaliya. Wadaada sida aay u badanyihiin waay ka soo horjeedaan. Miyiga weli wuu ka jiran. Waxaa kale oo jirta in Yurub iyo Ameriika aay ka soo socoto arrin ku saabsan inaay soomaliya aay saldhig u tahay irhaabi. Waxaad moodaa in jawiga cusub uu sababay in lacag lagu helo sheegista irhaabi. Qof kastoo oo soomaali ah oo u daneeynaayo qabyaalad wuxuu isticmaalayaa arrinta irhaabi. Arrintaani waxaay sababtay in dadka soomaaliga ah oo naba jecel oo dibadaha degan lagu tilmaamo Irhaabiyiin! Mogadishu burcada hooyga ka dhigatay markii aay doonayaa inaay gaalada wax siiso waxaay ku qarabtaan irhaabi; sidoo kale dawlad ku sheega jowhar: Soomaaliland maqaalo badan ayaa ka soo baxay oo sheegayo inaay la degaalamayaan irhaabi: Sida aan kor ku xusay irhaabi waxaay noqotay aalad lagu qaraabto. Alle-U baahane, akhi amxaaro meesha kama maqno laakin beryahaan arrinta irhaabi waxaay noqotay kelmad "trend" ah. Soomaalidaa isku sheegto aqoonyahan, madax iwm ayaa isticmaasho si aay u maquuniyaan midnimadeena iyo diinteena sharafta leh. Umaddii waxaay noqotay mid lacagi aay hoogaamiso. Waxaa igu maqal ah in niman wadaado ah laga kaxeeyey xamar iyo meel kale- in dad masaakiin ah oo xoogsato ah oo carab laga kaxeeyey Bosaso; In liis gacanta loo geliyey xabasho. Nimankaan ku qaraabanayo irhabi ayaa ka jira soomaliya waa kuwa ummadda soomaliyeed laayey, magaceenana meel ugu dhacay.

Assalamu calaykum walaalayaal! Kadib burburkii qaranka soomaaliyeed; waxaa soo baxay dad soomaaliyeed oo shaqo ka dhigtay inaay ku qaraabtaan waxyaabaha dadka caqliga lihi aay ka xishoodaan. Waad ogtihiin baan u maleeynayaa in 20 sanno oo ugu dambeeysay aay rag/haween aay ku dawarsadaan waxyaabaha aay jecelyihiin reer galbeedba sida (gudniinka dumarka FGM). Magaalo kasto oo weyn oo aad tagtid waxaa ka jira mashaaric ku dhisan afminshaarnimo oo aay wakiil yihiin dad soomaliyeed (iyo gaalo), kuna heeybsado inaay la degaalamayaan FGM- inkastoo aay arrintaani ka dhicin wadamada aay soomalida u soo bari tagtay. Sidoo kale waxaa jira hay'addo isku sheega inaay samafal yihiin oo ka jira degmooyin badan oo soomaliya ka mid ah. Hay'addahaan oo aalaba aay maalgeliyaan ururo ujeedadooda aaysan ahayn in soomaliya aay degto. Beryahaan dambe waxaa soo batay dad masuuliyiin isku sheega oo ku qaraabto in soomaliya aay saldhig u tahay irhaabi. Waa xaqiiq inaay niman irhaabiyiini joogaan soomaliya (Dawlad ku sheega, odayaal beelaha, gacan ku dhiigle -warlord)- hase yeeshe maanta irhaabinimadu loola ma jeedo moryaanta iyo dawlad ku sheega ee waxaa loola jeedaa dadka wadaadada ah. WAAN OGNAHAY IN IRHAABINIMADA SOOMALIYEED AAY TAHAY MID QABYAALADEED OO MA AHA MID DIIMEED! Waa yaabe, wadaadka soomaliyeed gormuu irhaabi noqday? Xaqiiqdu waxaay tahay in soomaliya oo idil iyo carliga soomaliyeed oo gaalo-madoowda aay gumeeysato- soomalilandh, djibouti aay wadaada qeyb weyn ka qaataan noolosha dadka, una fidiyaan dadka culuun, waxbarashado iyo rugo caafimaad! Ninkii wadaad isku sheega oo taageero dawlad ku sheega ama warloodh Wadaad ma aha- oo maqaalkaan ma khuseeyo. Toloow, dadka ku qaraabta IRHAABI ayaa ka jira soomaliya ma waxaay dhayeelsadeen jaceeylka dadkeena aay u qabaan diinteena? Toloow ma waxaay isleeyihiin dadka dawladda ka soo horjeeda ayaa lagu xakameeynaa? Dawlad baastaan soo wasiiro kama ah Hiraale, Caydid, Caato, Muuse, Cabdullahi Yusuf, etcetc oo gacan ku dhiiglayaal ah? Soo kuna irhaabi ma aha? Ilaaheey ha soo hanuuniyo kuwa ku qaraabta irhaabi ayaa ka jira soomaaliya; Toolow sooma oga in mareeykanka iyo xulafadiisa haddii aay weerar ku qaadan "irhabiga" soomaliyeed ayaa dhimanayaan dad soomali ah , oo islaan ah?
