Somali refugees hope to build community center By Lori Szepelak Correspondent SPRINGFIELD -- Yasmin Ahmed and Nasra Ali have a dream -- to build a community center in the city as a meeting and educational site for Somali refugees. Their dream came to light on the evening of April 27 at an informative lecture, hosted by the Women's Leadership Network (WLN), at NUVO Bank & Trust Company at Tower Square. Both Ahmed and Ali have worked tirelessly for several years to help fellow Somali refugees assimilate into life in Western Massachusetts. Their roles as coordinators of the Somali Women's Project, also known as "Walaloo," sound daunting but they are committed to empowering Somali women and teenage girls by linking their arts and talents with groups and organizations in the Pioneer Valley. Walaloo means "sister" in the Somali language. "If we can do it, you can too" is their motto as they canvas neighborhoods of Somali refugees on a regular basis. Ali noted during the networking lecture session that refugees "miss the weather, the people and their culture." "Women break down and cry and we hug and cry with each other," Ahmed added. Since Ali too understands their situation, she tries to help them find ways to keep their culture and values alive as well as how to learn and thrive from western culture. During the past six years, more than 100 Somali refugee families have resettled in the Greater Springfield area. Carla Oleska, Ph.D., executive director of the Women's Fund of Western Massachusetts (WFWM), praised both women for their dedication and commitment to the Somali Women's Project, now in its fourth year. Oleska is also on the board of directors of the WLN. "The Somali Women's Project is one of the most successful projects we've funded," Oleska said during her opening remarks. "The WFWM sees the Somali Women's Project as a wonderful example of a collaborative approach to improving the lives of an entire community by investing in the activities and projects of the women of the community," Oleska said. "It is also a great example of collaborative efforts across all types of boundaries -- the project has brought together the efforts of religious groups, human service organizations, the New WORLD Theater at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and community volunteers." Oleska noted that the project also improves the lives of a community by building upon its own culture and arts, and the arts collaborative project through New WORLD Theater has grown into a collaborative business endeavor. "The Somali Women's Project has used creativity and the arts to also bring healing to women who have had horrific experiences, and those experiences were turned into a powerful tool of strength through the Somali Women's major performance," Oleska added. Last November, an original theater presentation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst titled Shekadii Walaalo, Sister-Story, featured the Pioneer Valley's Somali community in a vibrant evening of dance, music, storytelling, poetry and video. In addition to neighborhood visits and weekly meetings with Somali women at 250 Albany St., Ahmed and Ali have set their sights on working with teenage Somali girls to educate and guide them on their future. "We want to reach teenage girls now and show them they can become someone, instead of being forced into marriage by their parents at an early age," Ali said. Both women explained that in Somalia, teenage girls are either "married off" or are encouraged to complete their education depending on the will of the girl's parents. The WLN meets quarterly at locations throughout the region. Upcoming meetings include June 9 at Elms College, Chicopee, where a round table discussion is planned on local community problems and politics, beginning at 5:30 p.m. "The WLN is purposely designed for women to stay connected without having to assume major responsibilities," Oleska said. "Women are able to attend whichever of the gatherings fit their schedule and/or whose topic appeals to them." Oleska added that the WLN is creating a giving circle which enables individuals to choose a focus for philanthropy whose strength lies in the model of combining one's giving with other women who have a similar interest.

here is the thing...we somali ppl dont need to listen to cnn or the likes to know who is actually a true somali patriot! In every somali community, its well known who is a patriot or clan cheerleader.u dont need no cnn to tell u this! Your good friends will give this info on the house w/o any sweat. Somalis are open book...they know everybody in the community like the holly book. Suprisingly, 99% of xalimos are usually patriotic while only 30% of faaraxs are patriotic!! so sad....!

plz everything u see out is not true! evaluate and n then judge it. Somali history started way before 19th century. Most somali folks understand that somali history started around 17th century during axmed gurey time when most tribes in somali converted to islam. Oromos never lived in somali but were a major tribe in ethiopia. Their down fall started when they divide into 2 sects, moslems and christians. They lost power and got defragmented. On the other hand, tribes like Gallo who were Somalis living in Galkacyo never converted to Islam and got smoked... hence the saying among somalis...hey hes Gaal when refering to non moslems they encounter. So plz dont believe everything u see...use your logic...without it, u might believe that Bounce is somali as some somali kids in the net believe. :confused:

home-gal...take a long cold shower!! lool.

Results of a recent research shows that there are 7 kinds of sex. The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. * This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone, and you both have sex until you are scars on your faces. The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. * This is when you have been with your partner for a short time, and you are so needy you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen. The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. * This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine, and you usually have sex only in your bedroom. The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex * This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say "screw you." The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex. * Which means you get Nun or wadaad in the morning, in the afternoon and at night. (Very Popular) The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex. * This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone. And, last, but not least: The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex. * You get a little each month. But not enough to enjoy yourself. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO TELL ME WHAT STAGE YOU ARE IN. I have enough problems of my own.

Exclusive: As the world follows the escapades of the country's pirates, civilians are fleeing the anarchy on land, creating the world's biggest refugee camp By Daniel Howden, Africa Correspondent Friday, 17 April 2009 The lucky ones come with their families, others appear out of the thorn bushes, walking alone. Five hundred Somalis are now arriving at this bleak Kenyan outpost every day. They join a population of 267,000 and counting, in a facility built to shelter just 45,000. While the world has been captivated by the high seas drama of Somalia's pirates, this human tide has swollen the ranks of Dadaab, turning it into the world's largest refugee camp. The new arrivals sit in their hundreds under a makeshift tarpaulin, trying to keep perfectly still in temperatures that reach 40C in the shade. It speaks volumes for the horrors unfolding in Somalia that people will abandon their homes, risk arbitrary arrest, death or starvation to reach the desolate welcome on offer in this corner of northern Kenya. These people are proof of the human cost of the accelerating collapse of Somalia, yet their fate attracts nothing like the global interest that surrounds Somali piracy and its threat to commerce. The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) that runs Dadaab urgently needs new money from international donors and new land from the Kenyan government. Neither has been forthcoming. The annual budget for this camp is $19m (£13m) – roughly half the annual operational cost of a single warship patrolling the Indian Ocean in search of modern-day Blackbeards. Related articles Daniela Kroslak: The key to security at sea is stability on land The story of Dadaab is in some senses the story of modern Somalia. Its three camps, Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley, were built to house those who fled when the last functioning central government – that of socialist dictator Siad Barre – collapsed in 1991. The camps soon reached their initial capacity and as the mother country just 50 miles to the north has sunk deeper and deeper, so the number of refugees has risen and risen. An entire generation of children has grown up knowing Dadaab as their only home. There have been 14 failed governments since then, Somalia is in a state of anarchy and Dadaab is facing an extraordinary influx. Last August the land ran out and the UN had to declare the camps full. It has not stopped the desperate masses arriving. Somalia is a country surrounded by political walls. Its land borders with Ethiopia and Kenya have been closed to protect their countries from the Islamic militias on the other side. In reality the only effect of the closures has been to make it even harder for people like Osman Hussein Bare to flee. With his family seated in a tired circle around him, the middle-aged man stands to tell his story with some dignity. "There is war in Somalia," he explains. "A lot of bullets; day and night they are fighting in the place." A farmer from a village close to the coastal city of Kismayo, Mr Bare found his life taken over by the emergence of the powerful Al-Shabaab militia. The breaking point, which sent him trekking for two nights across a sealed border to another country, came when the militants began to dig up the remains of religious leaders from Islamic sects they considered their rivals. "The way they rule I cannot live under them," he said. Amina, 22, was not one of the lucky ones. She was separated from her family and has arrived alone from Kismayo. During her fortnight's journey to reach Dadaab she was badly beaten twice, once by militiamen and once by Ethiopian soldiers. She says: "I'm a woman, I'm vulnerable and there's no government to protect me." By midday at the UNHCR's registration office at Dagahaley camp, a state of organised chaos prevails. Lines of worn and exhausted people queue in all directions; young children howl as they are given basic vaccinations. The prize on offer is a ration card. Outside the high fence faces and fingers push against the wire, some desperate, some curious. "Some people will have to come back tomorrow," Andy Needham from UNHCR explains. Registration means access to basic food and a rudimentary kit to build a shelter. There is no more land to give so people must find relatives or friends already inside the swollen camps to accommodate them. After a week in which the first attempted hijack of a US ship off the coast of Somalia propelled the troubled nation to the top of the news agenda, it is the image of a shoeless young Somali, armed with a rocket launcher and shielded by a foreign hostage, that has remained with much of the world. In fact, the hundreds of thousands of Somalis in Dadaab are as much victims of those pirate gangs as the foreign sailors captured in the Gulf of Aden. Food supplies to the camps were delayed by this week's surge of hijackings and the refugees' rations have been cut by one third. A recent report on Dadaab by Oxfam described conditions as "conducive to a public health emergency". The outlines of that are clearest at the N-0 encampment which lies on the fringe of the Ifo facility. It is known to regular visitors as the "end of the world". There are no buildings here, just white UNHCR tents and balloon-shaped shelters that refugees have built from sticks and bits of plastic. Everything has been blasted by red dust and nothing grows here but the ragged, thorned acacia trees. The shelters are packed so tightly together there is barely room to walk between them. A fire here would have no natural barriers and the consequences would be devastating. Yet each night hundreds of families cook on open hearths, there is no other choice. This is just one of the nightmares that is haunting David Kangethe, a programme manager for Care International, the agency struggling to deliver basic services like water, sanitation and rubbish collection. "Refugees are building everywhere. This place is a matchbox, if you lit it up it would just burn," Mr Kangethe sighs. There are chronic water shortages, sanitation facilities are overwhelmed and diseases like cholera are rife. The need for new land is acute but so far the Kenyan government has dragged its feet, citing complaints from the local community that they are being overwhelmed by the number of refugees. Some 70,000 people live in the surrounding area, mainly animal herders who fear the loss of grazing land and scrub forest. What is needed, according to aid workers, are three to four new camps but negotiations with Nairobi have remained deadlocked. UNHCR has looked at what it would cost to give people the basic minimum living standard. The answer is $92m and an urgent appeal has been issued. The response has been a near-deafening silence. The UK offered £2m in new money last week. Similar small pledges are trickling in but observers believe donors are waiting for a major crisis to break out before taking real action. That may happen very soon. "If the numbers continue to increase we're headed for a crisis," says Mr Kangethe of Care. In the meantime anti-piracy efforts will continue to dominate thinking in regard to the Somalia situation. Gerry Simpson from the New York-based Human Rights Watch says the equation is simple: "When commercial interests are at stake there's money. When it's women and children there is not." Survivors' stories Ahmad Abdullahi Hussein I was part of a militia that was fighting against al-Shabaab. We had to fight them. At night I was attacked in my home. I managed to go from the window. Later I found my wife was killed and only my two children Anisa and Abdulmalik were alive. The others were dead. I couldn't do anything. No-one can do anything against them. I brought my children here to find my mother. She is in Hagadera camp, I want to be reunited with her. The children have no mother, they need mine. Habib Waleda In Mogadishu bombs were coming down from the sky and hitting houses. When the mortar hit my house we all just ran away. We were separated. I had nine children. Now I don't know where my husband is or where eight of my children are. I looked for them in Mogadishu but they don't have a telephone. It's impossible to find them. I found a taxi and I offered to give him the small money I had. I gave him $150 and I told him I didn't have any more money. He brought me near to the border. I don't know where they are. All I have is to hope they are coming. Mohamed Ali I am 70 years old. I fled from a town called Barra. I have lost my wife and my two children. I think they have gone to Bosasso, but I have not seen them for a year. I had to walk for 15 days through the desert. It was hard for me to walk because I am blind. I had to stop and ask people for a little food along the way. Even if I go out and walk on the streets now a member of my family could walk by me and I would not see them. I have to hope that they will see me. http://www.independe nt.co.uk/news/world/ africa/somalias-sile nt-exodus-1669948.ht ml

Somalia: the pirates are in Washington The US has confronted Somalia, once again, with its guns blazing. This time special forces killed a group of Somali pirates who were holding captive a US ship’s captain. The move came as Somali elders were said to be in negotiations with the pirates for a peaceful resolution of the stand-off which started when the Somalis attempted to hijack a US merchant ship. The waters off Somalia are full of warships from states claiming to battle this piracy. But none are prepared to confront its causes. The waters off Somalia became a dumping ground for toxic waste during the years of civil war that gripped the country. This waste was dislodged and washed up on the shore during the massive tsunami in December 2004. Thousands of Somalis were poisoned. But the international community reneged on its pledge to pay for the clean up. Somali fishermen formed an unofficial coastguard in an attempt to stop the illegal dumping. They began to seize ships they believed were dumping toxic waste and to chase away illegal fishing trawlers. Local politicians, many allied to the pro-Western government ruling the country, turned the raids into a money making venture. The response of the international community is to threaten the country with war.

rudy-Diiriye replied to Somali Pirate's topic in Politics
well this will go on as long as we worship warlords, no matter how if they wear a bikini, suit or a cumaamad! and we let our educated somali brotha and sista work for the white man in the western world. I do believe somalis will be one when they utilize their educated folks to run their country insallah. amin
