They pray for my comeback to the motherland They ignore my rude commentary to our elders They praise me because I live in the wonderland They welcome my white-washed mentality They ignore my half-naked body dressed in Torn-outs, as I explain it’s the latest style in Vogue They still hold me dear even when I ignore their Early morning calls and nagging daily drama in motherland They still hold me dear despite of my abandonment…why… Because they plead for my esteemed dollars

Guilt…...……………………………… This bullet proof soul that hugs my dignity... Have I lost compassion for the lost souls? Numbed by insidious worldly politics That has nothing to do with my ancestral being Nor my religious directives, nor my people’s humanity Where is my daily dose of depression? For the perished, for the wandering souls, For the half-bullet-ripped-stuck-with-one-body-parts, For the mothers with no family, the fatherless, The one-child-left-behind family, the continuously raped Psychologically, physically, and faithfully……. Oh how much it hurts what I feel……. Worse than a tooth ache, stings like a cobra’s venom Tingles my spine…almost when about to experience a stroke Guilt………………….guilty…………….. Blame me for I relax on my futon Watching the world turn and get toasted Melancholy, cold, mourning, mercy…I feel but I ignore the reality by changing the channel Chaos I watch, as the world tremors with destruction I am compelled, I am driven, I am moved…….. Only to reach for the remote control…to change the channel Consciously aware of my mental switches…… But I have memorized excuses like a guru I only unleash them to cover my hidden truths…. Guilt………guilty ………..mortified I am………

Mansha-allah May Allah s.w. make them those that will benefit their people and true to thier religion(amin, and to all of us). I met Mohamed before and many others that have graduated from MY SCHOOL(U of M, gopherville ) and they have done wonderful outreach to the somali community may Allah s.w. reward them. From wat rumors has(those who work in HCMC and other area Minnesota hospitals)is that there are growing SOMALI doctors in MINNESOTA that any other state(ofcourse it makes sense)-and many incoming residents couple that I have seen, are straight from US med schools-kudos! NB: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE GOPHERS and U OF M Although an Alumni now, but Iam a true Maroon and GOLD reppin' for U OF M :cool:

I met her back in 2001? when she came to MPLS and was invited to campus. She took us by storm with her Geraaro, mahmaahyoonin and her expertise in BURAAMBUR. She not only can do all this but give you the histories behind it. She, is one of a kind indeed. Well, she has been engrossed into the somali culture I believe since the late 70's or was it 80's(according to her -while she was doing her thesis, masters i believe).

^^it would have helped if you only had previous AFRICAN HISTORY knowledge PS: they are a mix of west-africans(more like senegalese/mali's etc) and Arabs. They were salt traders and dress in full Arabic(kind like Bedouin dressing)and ofcourse muslims. Have you heard of the Swahili they are similar to the touregs. So dont be suprised-not everyone beautiful is SOMALI Keep in mind there are plenty of Adoon's/Jareer's etc that are non-somalis and are exquisite

I have written this piece to clarify my objection to the title “consensualistic somalism†or something along those lines not on the peripheral matters of Somali identities. I cannot elaborate (too busy currently-but couldn’t pass without a word) much on this issue but I do not believe human beings can come to static, homogeneous thinking capabilities, nationality, and sociocultural-homogeneity let alone Somalis. Simply because we have difference; and not only are they shaped by our genetics, but as well altered by behavioral (environmental) dynamics. In contemporary society, individuals have the autonomy over identifying with the “outside,†however, much of their accepted wisdom is greatly influenced by ‘organic’ (already established) principles-as in religion (if what one considers “natural right†or pre-ordained rights synchronize with their beliefs) and hereditary. My point Jamaal, every individual has consented to some sort of belief, existence, policy, rule, etc; but the real question should perhaps ask about “COERCIONâ€-can every Somali (proven to have ancestral linkage to Somalis) be “coerced†into identifying themselves to the common linkage(as in Somali-weyn)? As some have mentioned already, you can never change a person’s nationality, some even claim ethnicity as not being Somali merely due to being born outside of Somalia-but can you be “solicited†into identifying with Somalis irrespective of your nationality/background/etc. A recurrent thought that circulates in my psyche is that many Somalis have been “consented†into being homogeneous with Somali-weyn (sijuis, Bantus, minorities etc). We are forced into becoming consensual with our fellow Somalis born and raised in Somalia-why? When some do not even have the characteristics? (as in the Chad man mentioned by AYOUB). Clearly, the rule of thumb-Somalis will always be Somalis need to be revised (even real native Somalis aren’t all homogeneous). In a nut shell Jamaal you ask“can an indentity constitute consensualismâ€-I say NO it will never –Although “corcercion†of somali-weyn to unleashing their “soul-force†with legitimate and feasible strategic planning to better Somalia’s socio-economic and political philosophies can be attained if no force is utilized. Although one could claim on the other hand that coercion can be a form of passive consent. Soliciting 'other' somalis into rebuilding somalia can be "passively consented" if they identify with somali-weyn regardless of nationality or background, but active consenting will never be attained.
