Word indeed Rudy, Word indeed. If President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi go about their leadership responsibilities along this line and ignore the mixed messages coming from the incorrigible naysayers, the Somali people will be only too happy to follow their lead. Balaayo anagaa aqrinay. Apparantly the man needs a dose of reality for he portrayed Ethiopia as the Johnny Appleseed of Goodwill on Somali Soil (What a laughable notion). Also to blame the anarchistic state Somalia was in for the last 14 years or so, largely on the "Muqdisho Warlords" is a bit naive and in my opinion, baised. Furthermore,it seems that the author is forgetting the reason the naysayers, consisting of not only warlords but some "Somali people" as well, exist and are driven to voice their opinions quite violently at times is due to the fact that our current government isn't going about their "leadership responsibilities" along the lines the he has described thus why most Somalis aren't willing nor happy to follow their leadership for no one blessed with the gift of sight can follow another blindly without trust which is an element, obviously, that the current government is lacking.

Ay, Thank You abaayo, glad you enjoyed it. Naa Ms.Pili Pili, lol hmmmmm indeed it is I feel like I'm love sick dee, find me a cure quick Dr. anyway I guess I'll be seing you on the 25th right? Just to let you know, I'll be expecting my B-Day gift before Monday.

Balaayo anagaa aqrinay, ileen runtii Qac baad tahay . Trust in God, all others are suspect is THE and only mentality that a women living in America should have. If you really feel as though your safety is in jeopardy You should; carry a stun gun or a maze (maybe both, you can't be careful enough these days), make sure that you are NEVER ALONE and your cell is always fully charged whenever you leave the house and as a last resort file a restraining order against his A!s. The funny thing is that I have never seen this guy before and now he pops up every where I go what are the concidences that he is in not actually following me but happens show up every where I go few minutes later why isn’t he there before me or after me I think he is trying to impress you by being punctual dee.

Whereas before it was blacks, African-Americans who fit the "suspect profile" now, predictably, after 9/11 it's anybody regardless of color and creed who identifies him/herself as a Muslim and if the Patriot Act which is currently being debated in Congress is to pass and become a law, it will allow and recognize the right of police states to exist in order to combat terriorism. The act allows police(Local or Federal) to act in any manner they see fit even if that action violates the basic civil rights guaranteed in the U.S Constitution. For example: Under the consitution FBI agents can hold you, if they're suspicious of you for only 90 days but if the Act passes then they can Jail you indifinetely if they "suspect", there is no need for evidence just a suspicion, you to be a terrorist. Basically being a Muslim in America now is almost if not soon to be like being Jewish in Germany at Hitler's Time (the 30's/40's ).It is very dangerous because you've have no rights,no voice and no protection what so ever from the state if they pass it so one can't but, as a Muslim, pray for Allah's protection and hope for things change in due time Insha'allah.

Originally posted by Classique: 2nd , Speaking of taking the others' culture. Now lemme ask you one question Hibo. Some of you might think that the Diric is the national dress or the original dress for the Somalis. I know that we have different clothes in different areas, but the Diric considered the main dress for the Somali women. Do you know that the Diric is not originally Somali, its a Yemeni dress. If you are blaming the Somalis who are living inside the Khaleeji countries for dressing like khaleejis and wear abaya; then why don't you blame the Somalis who are wearing the Diric, common thats Arabic dress too and this is what she wrote: Originally posted by Try_Me: Look at Somalis that reside in the Arab world; They wear Ibaya, talk worst than arabs, the youngsters are obsessed with their opposite sexes and women remain indoors. I mean don't get me wrong, covering one's body is a sign of being a Muslim but why do it to resemble the locals rather than for fear of Allah? I don't think she was blaming nor critizing the Somalis for imatating "The khaleejis" way of dress bur rather questioning their reasons for doing it.

Simply beautiful and Unique how you conveyed such emotion and Aamin, Ilaahay ha u naxariisto and I hope he grants her Paradise Insha'allah.

You have such a describtive flow to your poem, Mansha'allah. You had my complete attention from beginning to End. Keep them coming. Welcome to SOL!

It's deplorable when one feels the need,in order to make a point, to take words out of context and I didn't SAY it, I WROTE it.

Thank You all for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Duco, you are indeed a Wiil, maandhow You shouldn't believe The fictious fables "your family" tells you as Good night stories and expect others to believe it also because you're convinced it's the Truth and because of this conviction its has led you to contradict yourself(in the following qoutes) but then again, I can't blame you really for you've been misinformed and led astray. And also the peace agreement between Morgan and him is not finish yet( faanoole fare kama qodna Baldarash! how can it be not finished when it has never started. sxb please don't cover the truth adeerkaa :confused: hiiraale dhiigkar baa ku dhiciraba he occopies only madax tooyada Dhiigkar baa ku dhiciraba? loool, so now you're a fortune teller miyaa who could see into the future? Lets just say they occopy half and half of the city. Okay, make up your mind dee, you stated in the above quote that he, Hiraale, occupies the capital only and now you're stating he occupies half? war balaayo, which is it? It will be like these untill their Seedi cames back for them Balaayo,You're again fortelling the future, what an extrodiniary gift you've that allows you to make such predictions. I'm in Awe. BTW, You might as well believe that Santa claus exists if you believe that hogwash and you're also underestimating, a grave mistake, The power of the Alliance in Kismaayo.

Balaayo, you really should be in solitary confinement.

Inaa lilaahi wa'inaa ilaahi raajacuun. Martyrs? What a bunch of Crockers! It's sad and quite ironic that "the truth" these philosophers blindly searched for all of their natural life, except for Socretes though I'm sure there was some type of a Kutab at his time, they could of found it in the Quran which they discredited and dismissed because the truth (God,Ethics and etc) they've concluded, in order for it to be The Truth ought to be derived by using reason and logic rather than fideism nor revealed knowledge such as The Quran. a grave mistake, I'm sure they later whilst in their grave, painfully regreted. Oh and BTW, Wasn't Socertes, after he was convicted of treason, forced to drink the hemlock whilst he was still incarcerated rather than voluntarily?

Ar Goobilow, Gobilo, Ah-Uh! a.k.a The anthem. War Balaayo horta Have you noticed when ever it comes on or somebody recites it, that Ayeeyooyinka iskaba daa dhalinyarada, who can't even walk without using a cane or somebody to lean on jump as if their life depends on it. Dang, and the energy, acuudi bilaah! you can't help but get Crunked Up. Anyway, Insha'allah my older cousin and I are going there so If you see any Tall Skinny Girl being refered to as Ina G......S, just say Salaams

Juma, so just because they critized Iman, for what ever reason, you've concluded that they are envious or rather Jaluusiya, Oh My, apple Pie what a weird reasoning you have. Besbeeso, Alla yaa Usheego wiilashaan, the amount of Pain,the cramping, the back aches,etc. that comes with having such long albeit nice legs .

^^^You should of chewed with your mouth open until they stopped staring at you seriously, that is irratiting. Raula , I will be in columbus around May insha'allah for my cousin's wedding and from what I heard it's like visiting Garbahaaray for more than half of the somali people claim to known your Family and are your kin some where along the line.

^^^She didn't. Somalia was already on the map or the globe before she was born. As for being proud or not, I could care less about her.

Originally posted by Che-Guevara: Ppl What did you expect from Reer Mudug. Their life revolve around Qabiil. They live, breathe and talk Qabiil. Such falacy, such sophism..such fallacious generalization, War Balaayo, Alla beerka :eek: ! Sarcasm aside, Most Somalis life's revolve around qabiil, this isn't a trait that is only unique to reer mugud. They have great appetite for destruction, and are in love with power. It is sad Somalis keep on choosing these people as presidents. Firstly, there are other regions in Somalia other than Mudug who share the same appetite as well as the same Love for power and destruction, so again it's isn't a trait that is unique only to Mudug. Secondly, Somalis didn't choose "these people" for there weren't any voting intervals in which the public elected C.Salad and C.Yusuf as presidents. I was under the impression that the presidency was handed to them by their "peers". AbdiQasim was failure, and so is Yeey. They both are hardcore tribalists, and the region they hail from represents all that's wrong with Somalis. How can you already brand Yeey a failure when we've yet to see what his presidency could and can bring? furthermore how does Mudug alone, represent all that is wrong with Somalia since what you're accusing it off are traits, again that are shared by all of the inhabitants of Somalia's other regions? Perhaps next time we choose the more decent and deserving Somalis from other regions. Such as whom...?

It's better to support the devil you know than the devil you don't! I believe, since most are quite aware of why, the question begging an answer should be HOW we come to support such War Criminals in Somalia especially as Ngonge pointed out, by those that are living on the "outside"?

He wants me to Love him Like I would love him as he would love I were he Me and no person can be held accountable for such a giving more than myself Lest he broke my heart Even then, I won't regret I refuse to regret For love was given freely by no other person than I Who loved freely.

Duke's mouth piece, evidence is provided by all parties not only the accuser if you but talked to the "law students" then you would know that. OG, When it comes to Warlords, I believe in Guilty until proven innocent and innocence, may I add,in the case of C. Yussuf hasn't been proven. Duke, I rest my case with Brother Horn's post.

The said family member might already think the girl is of questionable reputation for living outside of her parents house whilst she is unmarried, assuming of course that she isn't married, regardless of the reason why whether it be school, work etc so if the girl is worried about her rep. then sadly it might already be in tatters so there really isn't a problem if you think about and no other solution for it hadn't bothered her before than to keep things as they are.

Now care to share with us the evidence which you have regarding the atrocities of Garowe, Qardo and Balanbale which President Yusuf allegedly committed? Now Duke, I ask the same of you; so provide evidence, and please refrain from such an objection as "I didn't claim that he had nor hadn't" for it's prudent that you prove me wrong, that proves C. Yusuf didn't commit nor hadn't any part in the atrocities that took place in the above cities. When and If you do, which I highly doubt, provide such an evidence then I shall provide mine.

Originally posted by Duke_Valantino: MsWord, wonderfully confusing as ever, she states the Garowe and Qardo as example of massacres, when and we have some people from those places here dear. The question is do you people even know the meaning of the word? Could it be that you're confusing yourself for there wasn't a single sentence in my previous post, and you can quote me if you find evidence to prove your claim, in where I stated Garowe and Qardho are examples of a massarcre.

Caamir, It's quite easy really for there isn't any evidence attesting to his innocense either. As for the speech (What a Shocker :rolleyes: ) Abdilaahi Yusuf, like his fellow co-horts, Somalia's mass murders...er excusi, Warlords, was just being true to his vindictive, hatefilled,and despicable self, so why is there such an outpouring of surprise? Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: Show us any evidence of any indiscriminate killing of tribesmen irrespective of gender, age, etc committed by Abdulahi Yusuf. Which group? Where? What date? Stats? You are asking for evidence, hmmm I guess the attrocities that took place in Qardho, Garowe and Balanbal(late 70's and early 80's) aren't enough evidence for you miyaa? please lets not be, for all you Yusuf supporters, naive and impressionable now and claim he wasn't behind it, whether you like it or not he is a murderer and there is nothing that can change the amount of blood he has on his hands. One can but hope and pray that justice is served in the after-life insha'allah.

Besbaaso,Ms.Pili Pili March, despite having to be aware of Its Ides, is quite an exceptional month Isn't it? Word!, Macaanto it's Hollarr! you have to role the R's dee. Happy Woman's Day!
