Fantastic news, Mashaallah. Hope this will mean more postgraduate scholarships for SL students.

All the best bro!

Aww. Such a sweet gesture, made me smile.

SubhanAllah.. serious case of qooq in this story.

^It's finished now - (edit) you can watch it from the beginning - http://www.tedxmog.com/ Alpha - always two steps behind you aren't I. I liked what Abdi Latif said about the 'know it all' Qurbo Joog. It's always nice when we tell our own story. Dr. Aisha was the most inspiring speaker for me.

^You're welcome.. LOL Abbas, I wondered why no body shared. Inshaallah, aniga iyo my galaan of shaah are looking forward to it.

2012 saw the rebirth of Mogadishu and the first ever TEDx event in Somalia. In 2013, we will reflect on the past, present and future, exploring the ideas, innovations and traditions that once built and will again rebuild this country. Peace has continued to take hold, children are playing in the streets, and the beaches are filled with weekend swimmers. A parliament has been formed, constitution approved, and a new cabinet of ministers is leading Somalia back onto the international stage. Every day that goes by is a historic day, and TEDxMogadishu will highlight the incredible voices that have fought against all odds to make this possible. It is time to rediscover Somalia.

That we have some kids who under performed or criminals etc like any other community is a given- but the writer is trying to connecting FAILING with being SOMALI! MAybe the Economist could not tracked down any successful Somalis due to their poor research skills- I would be happy to provide a list! Somalis in the UK should write a rebuttal and complain. Various people are responding and this fact alone is an indication that Somalis have moved on. Most of the statistics being bandied around about Somalis are from the 90s and early 2000s and not a reflection of British Somalis today.

There's also midho and laf (in the case of Canbe laf). The issue facing local farmers is lack of financial support and training.

haya maxaad leedahay? Sheekadiinu x-rated wey dhaaftay? LoL. Sheh wey caafiimaad qabtaa, ha u baqan.

^You're wasting valuable time on the anti-hijab brigade darling Forgot to mention one of my all time favourites; islamicdesignhouse.com Dage Boutique recently opened by a Somali sister in West London. https://www.facebook.com/DageBoutique?fref=ts Welcome to SOL@ Muslimah2014. Aren't you a year early?

It gets bigger and better each year... Mashaallah. Well done to the amazing team.

Can't find on youtube but I like that song.. Somaliland fadhiga ka kaca ... waa talo loo baahanyahay. Xaaji Xunjuf;927490 wrote: The son of Maxammad mooge allow dhowr traditional style Mohamed Moge (AUN) only had a dhaughter and passed away long before Ahmed 'Moge' Yare was born.

^Just the population control crew. 3 years younger than Puntland, ay? That's kind of special, sow maha? I'll throw a cyber party I'A.

^Calm down love, it isn't a general statement about athiesm but an observation of the numerous population/birth control threads started mostly by the Somali atheists here. It's also a tongue in cheek-type of comment. Classified, LOL. It's crazy, right?

Errr. I'm not associating atheism and birth control. HB, You know that's not the case, come on..

Horta, what is it with Somali atheists and birth control? Population control is the least of our worries..

Isn't Muha based in Ethiopia - Ghana halkay kagala xidhatay? Good luck to her Inshaallah.

Salaaams lady - eid wanaagsan. A mashruuc is an investment / business project, I'm sure there is a pure Somali word - can't think of one now. I agree with Juxa, there are so many opportunities now. WorldRemit is an online xawaala. Salaamaat@ nuune. Give us an update yah? Update on the campaign - there's a lot of support from labour MPs who have along with Somalis taken a petition to No.10, the new goal is to start a parliamentary debate - this needs over 100, 000 signatures.

Hilarious! She reminds of this EDL geezer : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FbsM2HXuEH0

He's good but needs to move away from Mohamed Mooge songs to get the recognition he deserves as Ahmed Yare.

^haha. Odey baa sidaa iigu xayasiiyay, OTT xayasiis in fact, so I've asked him if he was a share holder, "off course" ayuu yidhi, so I said that I will start using WR it for his sake.. It's very convenient, I've always wondered why other xawalas didn't offer this service. Adna mid noo bilow, I'll buy shares and do OTT xayasiis for you as well. Eid mubarak people
