^Dont you know she is on a wanted list in all the three places,she escaped narrowly to being married off to a geel jire in Miyi..

^For someone that isnt a member you sure do keep tabs on the darn thing..

^HaHa..Astaghfirullah! Looking good there Ngonge..

^ It would have been so nice if there is a guidelined map somewhere,which gives handy roadmap for reconciliation. There are no short cuts or simple prescription for healing the wounds and divisions of our society now or even after the aftermath of the looming doomed future[dramatic]. First,we will need to create trust and understanding between all the rivalry groups which would be a supremely difficult task. However it is an essential one to address in the process of building a lasting peace. How this is going to be implemented, I will be pondering on this for awhile.. We will need to acknowledge the journey we took to reach were we are, examine the pain and understanding it, above all transcending it together will be the best way to guarantee that it does not continue to happen and simply we can not go through the same path ever again. I know this sound so poetically unrealistic, but realistically it will need a lot of positive input from all involved parties including “US” the arm chair politicians here on SOL. Each society is unique in its discovery of its own route to reconciliation. Some say if the Ethiopians leave peace will prevail, others argue conflicts were there before the Ethiopians came and so forth… Reconciliation can not be imposed by outsiders, we have witness this failing again and again. We must find our own solution and give peace a chance! So guys what are your suggestion to finding that path to the ever lasting peace?

Lol..@Nephthys , you had to announce me in bold letters..

Ibti,by the grace of Allah am good,challenged but triump..What is wrong,why are you sad? I believe the reer miyi woman has it most toughest too,imagine all the things she has to attend to and never ever being her own boss! Nah,give me city dwelling anytime..love my independence! "Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, They just promised it would be worth it." ----Harvey Mackay

Neph, He must have loved her long,black hair,could have been what he found most attractive part of her..men require visual aid to loving someone,they got to love your long legs,or your round hips ...something that turns them on. Unfortunately,some men would walk out of his long term relationship just because the woman has lost what he found attractive in the begining.. *feels like a commodity now*

Lol..Lily your counselling on MSN and also posting on SOL,multi tasking iga dhe!

^Okie Dokie@Aaliyah..

I dont know what preserving a culture and language got to do with the stability of Somalia?....I believe it all depends with how the families copes with the new enviroments,how much of that new enviroment they will adapt in their lives and how much they will continue to hold on to their roots. I agree on your point that there should be activities organised for the young people to exposing them to their culture and language..e.g we had a dancing tuition on our roof top every sunday evening,our neighbour used to teach all the kids Somali dances..

^Why would you pray for him? Because he is black?

^ Ma saas ba? Alxamdulillah!

What does it mean when you dream your laughting? I had heart warming laughter in my dreams last night,I woke up giggling...

Originally posted by Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar: Is your family globalized? As widespread as the typical extended Soomaali family seems to be? This reality dawned on me. How would we be like down from a few decades from now, heck even within one generation? Most Soomaalis intended to return to Soomaaliya, hoping the civil war would end as quickly as it began; some, however, are slowly giving this optimistic view out, a hope I did not lose -- always Soomaaliya is my home. It would be scary to envision a generation who were born in all those myriad countries, being cousins, nieces, nephews who have never met, who speak unimaginable non-Soomaali languages to 'communicate,' waaba haddee isla hadlaan. That is the future. MMA,it will all depend on how the first generations raise their kids,my family has 5 generations born outside Somalia and we so Somali you would assume we just left Berbera last year..lol So dont frett,all you "new" to living outside Somalia,Somalis need to do is make sure you teach your children your culture,language and continue to maintain links with folks back home..

^Bariis,hot spieced fried fish and spinach with coconut cream. What are you thinking about right now?
