He does raise some valid points with regards to recording the shared history of reer SL and the exclusive ‘qaran’ rhetoric which is oft repeated by some in the media but I feel the author of this piece wishes to blur this with usual ‘union scare’..

Adaa af yaqaane maxaad iga waydiin? Kolay anigu wagar baan madaxa kaga qaraaci lahaa but what use would that be?

As usual Abtigiis, siyaasad ku daba dhuumo to insult women. Below the belt and imbecilic, indeed!

Is the conflict still on going, XX? InshaAllah khayr.

Happy birthday, Narniah and Carafaat. May many blessings come your way this year.

^Aaliyaay, tan waa mid ay waayeelka SOL isla yaqaaniin. Waa mid kaa da' wayn. LOL. She was a singer / actress and was very pretty.

Soo xad ama soo xoog adigey ku jirtaaye True, laakin hadaynu runta isu sheegno gabdhahuba ma dhaamaan oo qaar badan oo sida dhoocil la shukaaminayo seeyigooda afka ugu taaga ayaa buuxa. I personally think that little but consistent acts of love are more powerful than big gestures.

Loved her in masiibadu aduunyada ayaadaa u maclin ah..

Ragii hore waa iska alright, laakin Jamaal Ali Hussien will be the greatest preso of SL.. and, no, he is not my cousin.

I agree with the bisad man, besides thought that was the purpose of the women's section? LOL.

This is how the comments in this thread sound to me... Buurtayadaa buuraha u dheeree, Heey, heey Geelkayagaa geelba u badanee Heey, heey Reerkayagaa reeraha ka roonee heey, heey *Illahayow maskaxda noo siyaadi!

^LOOOOOL. That's hilarious. *sorry*. I didn't hear that runtii, just remember him constantly running upstairs and beating the living daylights out of little girls and the macalins jocking that some of the ciyaal were more scared of him than Illahay. That place was an absolute joke, we didn't attend for long!

It's the first story of Surah Kahf, love the stories in that Chapter of the Quran.

was that macalin Said? If I saw him today, I'd be inclined to beat him up. May Allah have mercy on the dead.

ElPunto, Familiarity, perhaps. It boils down to prefrence end of the day, I'd happily carry an Arabic, Asian or African but a Western name, I'd never consider. So Chuba, did walaalo have the baby? InshaAllah, safe delivery for her and the baby. In my family, we like double barrelled names, so maybe you can consider combining two of your favourites. Btw, I've been looking for a second name that would go easily with my second child's first for ages, changing my mind constantly and then recently she heard one of my favourit Somali names and started saying, my names is Haboon, so that has settled it. Hahaha. So, if walaalo can't decide, tell her to consider waiting till bub is three and let her name herself.. LOL

Weekend away with spa sounds fabulous, with or without you,I'm sure she'll appreciate it.... yes, even if she went without you...LOL! I don't think much else can top that, perhaps a gold set or a parada bag, if not don't bother! I'm kidding, I bet you she's been hinting for months, so tune in man, tune in.. Make it something incredibly sentimental, it doesn't have to be OTT, maybe the first restaurant you went together...get that poem of yours (however crap) engraved on a wooden plaque... you can even do that yourself. InshaAllah, hope for many more blessed and happy years for you and yours.

LOL. Heedhe, sawta Burco iyo Hargaisaba u rap garaysaa? LOL. Maybe she's trying to move away from qabyaalada lagu sheego, gain more support.

Carafaat, looks like you've been visiting cloude 9 far too often. Marakech is supposed to be really nice, haven't been to Morocco but it's in my list for next year, InshaAllah.

Markaad heshid mid ku aqbalsha. Numbers are kind of pointless, runitii.

NG, My posts aren't motivated by guilt, I feel none, should I? As I said in numerous other threads, I honestly find the stories about minority clans and qabil origins in general to be laughable. The stories of the origines of minority clans in SL are more or less similar and just as silly. I do find the counter bashing of the majority clans to be just as bigotted and also don't buy into the language / ethinic purity claims some make, not because I'm a liberal (puhlease) but because I firmly believe in the evolutions of languages. cultures and ethinic identities.

Cloud 9 via one of those 'cafes' in Amsterdam. or Morocco.
