W/all due respect..the 'lack of courage' you speak of is why abuse of all sorts is rampant in all social strata's involving women. Marka walaalo..it is lack of courage that a teenager or a young gal for that matter is to be betrothed to an 70yrs old gizzard back when..or even now to the Mujahideen's/'uncle' etc? is it lack of courage that the some gals are under duress forced into SEX RINGS/Slavery whether in the USA or other parts of the diaspora? Was it lack of courage some of our mothers were given to polygamous families (even though they turned out fine after the fact)? Is it lack of courage that many women endure sexual (or any other kind of) assault during war times...but still stick to the motto of gobanimo iyo guul awogeed...while the men abandon them for war/other women/financial gains/disease-afflictions such as HIV/AIDS..? I am not attacking Taleexi...just stating some painful facts..we are there because there are no other ways out...she was born in the diaspora doesn't mean she had the means/resources at her disposal. Since many of you guys seem to dismiss this as mere exaggeration of facts..but we all know it happens..then you might as well take her word for it...since we are not in her shoes. Besides..xageed ku maqashe..wax la yiraah "KHASAB-RAXEED"..(made up word miyaa) perhaps this is fetish arousal experienced by men..as sane women know..there is no pleasure in PAIN certainly in LOVE mar hadiii uu qasab yahay..wa hadii uu qalbigaagu weli murugo iyo naceyb ku jiro. Malika & Ibti..my sentiments precisely.

aint that some S*IT

we always like to blame others for our dreadful befelling. Nonetheless, this woman could be content w/her life as is given, except that as a mother its tough to have a child w/maladies as such horrific affliction of a disease as polio. Laakin kii qabey baan eed saari la haa..but he could be in no better shape than her..Allaha uu sahlo dumarkas iyo ciyaalkooda. Money won't buy happiness/love..nor would it clear up the skies for many.

Hambalyo walaal...IA (Barakallahu laka wa baraka calaika wa jamaaca beynakuma fii kheyr). Remember be honest at all times, don't fret the little stuff & don't expect confetti falling from the skies all the times ).

Indeed as coofle said..I second that! Hongera kaka..as the tradition goes...ya unguja..na sehemu hizo.....here are some KANGA writings.. 1.YARABI TUPE SALAMA TUISIHI KWA KUPENDANA -translation= GOD GIVE US PEACE TO LIVE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER Je Wyre..maradhi yako ni ya pendo..ama? as this proverb articulates.."Ya mahaba ndweo maradhi upeo" =The intoxication of love is the ultimate disease Majibu =twakuombea mola akupoeshe kwa maradhi na nia yakutulie..mwanangu...indeed 2.NIPENDE KWA NIA NIPATE KUTULIA/ LOVE ME SO THAT I CAN RELAX..as in this case akupende kwa nia, upate kutulia. Tafadhali peleka Salamu kwa zawaj.

Some Somalis believe that hyenas are hermaphrodites (half male/half female) because the female hyenas have extra male hormones that has made them at least as large as their male counterparts. Their clitoris is also therefore so big that it looks like a certified penis. Add to that that female hyenas are the leaders of each and every hyena clan wherever in Africa. For Somalis back in the day, I don't blame them for thinking hyenas were hermaphrodites. They wouldn't be the only one. European scientists used to believe that too. I wouldn't even get close to Hyena's let alone think of eating their meat..laakin this part got me thinking to give them the peculiar eye

Since going to international competitions have become the new way of helping your relatives to go abroad, the Somali Olympic Comittee must send people from my Tolkay to the next competition in accordance with the 4.5 arrangement. Qudhun iyo qabiil kama baxno, and that is why the country is shamed because of these false athletes. Dad quman oo orda lama waayeen ee naas-nuujin baa loo soo diray. I have never been impressed with the whole thing from the start. The rest I agree with Raamsade 100%. Kuwan diaspora ah ee ka hadlaya why is she staying are hypocrats. Why shouldn't she? Idinku maad patriotic noqotaan ood ku noqotaan dalkiinii, if at all you have better skills to survive there than the two false athletes. Allahu aclam if they are false athletes or not..but I wholeheartedly concur w/the latter part of your argument.

Apophis..You are right but this is not entirely the case at all times. I didn't say they shouldn't make "noise" but the touching part was a bit too much. I don't know about where you live but brother in my neck of woods that could turn into something unexpected. N'ways, the brothers made their point & glad both parties's issues were resolved.

On another note..waxaan ka baqa..that 'former' security guard..might end up pulling something like the Oak Creek, Wisconsin Sikh Temple shooting or far worse.. Chimera-We Minnesotan's will wlc you w/OPEN HANDS Get away from those congested streets of london for a bit

Apophis..well now that i did, glad the boys came out swinging for their sister..but man were they boiling...why the h*&^ do they have to surround & TOUCH & even WHISPER into someone's ear during a commotion? if someone had pulled out a gun..i think the lawyers would have looked at it as a threat & justified if any "self-defense' right was raised. OR they were that close to the cops...i betcha some of them now would be in Hennepin county jail for the night..As well, if you are asking for a resolution, you negotiate (this doesn't mean you forgo your target-i.e. get those security guards fired) but then you don't tell the other party HOW TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS? maxey inamadaan (i know some of them are well over 30+ ) is mooden? Wale qof cadaan ah saas laguma sameeyn laheen..laakin its because they have had enough of this Sabri guy/his associates & his business model. Laakin its the somalis that have gotten him to this point.

Great thx NORF

Showqi-mandhow waxaad ka hadleysaa dad macquul ah..or wax garad noqon karo..there were even words being thrown out there in the vicinity of the riot-.."we don't share the same culture"...iyo bacaac. Marka showqi..seef-la-bood hadey kuu dhaleen maxaad ka sugi..its really Sad some are trying to calm the masses & reason/explain to the cops..& some are just plain adding fire to the fuel. A..thx-I saw upto the point where the cop is talking to the gal..but couldn't finish it (meeting).

what the hell is going on ? what's w/the gal involved..S-Centric give us some details pls?

Haatu..I Hear Garissa is getting too qabiiliiste nowdays..(I haven't lived there)but know someone..who did..& beryahaan waxaaba laga hor keena..horta qolmaad tahay hii ni kazi ya 20+ yrs of wasomali...infiltrating..or was it like this..prior? MMA--adi xaad qabsate..kontonkii sano lasoo dhaafe?

yeah where is resident Che? last time i went 2004-traffic was crazy..& even worse were the drivers around the downtown zone. Food is expensive...if you like dining outside fine restuarants..& tipping is compulsory (I asked back then, if the friends/relatives would donate the money to my college tuition..but they said no). N'ways good luck. BTW, don't look out the window when landing...
