That stup1d old man had the guts to say Somalia was its best situation in last 17 years. They have forced more than half of the capital's people out of their homes, so who do they then plan to govern?

homes -UN MOGADISHU, Nov 20 (Reuters) - The number of Somalis uprooted by fighting in their own country has hit a "staggering" one million, the United Nations' refugee agency said on Tuesday. UNHCR said 600,000 people were believed to have fled Somalia's lawless capital Mogadishu since February, when clashes pitting allied Somali-Ethiopian troops against suspected Islamist insurgents started to escalate. Nearly 200,000 people have streamed out of Mogadishu in the past two weeks alone, emptying entire neighbourhoods, UNHCR said in a statement. The numbers of displaced persons this year are in addition to 400,000 forced to flee their homes because of previous fighting. The Horn of Africa country has been in a state of anarchy since warlords toppled military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. The latest conflict flared when Islamist leaders took control of various towns in southern Somalia last year before being ousted in January by government soldiers and their Ethiopian allies. The interim government has since faced an Islamist insurgency, featuring roadside bombings and political killings, that has all but thwarted its attempts to restore central rule. Civilians typically bear the brunt of the violence. UNHCR said the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in more than 60 makeshift settlements along the 30 km (20 miles) stretch of road linking Mogadishu to Afgoye had soared to nearly 200,000 -- a 50 percent increase in the past two weeks. "Families continue to lack proper shelter and consistently resort to using any material -- mostly plastic bags and rags -- to patch up their 'tukuls' -- flimsy dome-shaped shelters," UNHCR said. "Although IDPs express confidence in security in the Afgoye area, we are increasingly worried about security incidents there in the last several days," it said. UNHCR said an aid worker was killed on Friday after she was hit by a stray bullet while distributing supplies. On Sunday, an explosion in Afgoye town killed six people, it added.

Africaown, In the expand of a year, Nayruus started to be prop TFG, then pro UIC, then now back to being pro TFG. What is up with that? he called A/Yusuf the devil, and Aweys a hero, now it's the other way around.

Dahabshiil has nothing to do with any war effort, it simply provides money to be helped for those in need. It gave money to Burco during the drought, it gave money to Oodwayne village when they needed schools and hospitals, and now it's doing the same in Sool, the guys in Jidbaal.com and Alcayn lie constantly to create hatred between the people. Waa waxaan xishood iyo dadnimo lahayn.

Sorry folks the title of the thread should read 'banaanbax' and not 'bananbax'...lol Thanks Castro, ufortunately the time to edit has elapsed..(:

Banabax kadhacay Toronto oo lagaga soo horjeedo dilka iyo gumaadka ciidanka cadowgu ku hayo shicibka somaliyeed ee ku dhaqan magaalo madaxda soomaaliya ee Muqdisho. Sawiro.

aaah hmmm ermm ehem shoot...darn it are they really that bad. NOTHING positive at all.

The report even says 'qaadhan uruurinta' which dahabshiil as it always does is taking part the money that is being collected to finance the development of SSC it has nothing to do with military work or anything like that.

Jidbaale is full of lies that is obvious. As far as Dahabshiil is concerned you can't come near what it has done for somalis everywhere.

I agree with Ghanima, Tuujiye went bit far with his jokes and wasn't fair to the sister at all. I think being funny and out right offensive are two different things.

^You both wrong, it's Mexico's?

^I 'tawakaltu calalah' on you Aaliyah then..lol

^Good point.

Daalo ma jabuti baa leh?

Obsession with Somaliland continues despite what is happening. Rather than coming against what is happening in the south without any strings attached, many folks from Puntland have chosen to steer the blame game towards Somaliland.hmmm

Maya yaakhii, way kuu sahlaysaa...it sort of increases your chances. Fahamtu lak Jacalow? It's better than saying' Cilmi boondhari ayaa wuxu yidhi isagoo kahadlaya jacaylka'...lol

Originally posted by Caamir: Therefore, the “Somaliland Protectorate” had never transpired into a state of its own right to return to in 1991, as some have falsely claimed thereafter. I must re-emphasize that it had only existed for four days in which, essentially, preparations were being made for travel and, in effect, reunion with the other part. Hence, to speak of “ Somaliland” ever being a state is also a very flawed assumption. “ Somaliland” was, at best, defined by its colonial history not by its independence of only four days before immediate re-union with that other part of the partitioned Somali nation. A return to the state of “ Somaliland” represents a platitude or an empty inanity, at best. -Somaliland, not British protectrate in this four days existed(meaning it was fully recognized and independent state): _Preperations were made to unite with the South. Who made such preperation? the somalilanders themselves did. They had the will to do as they wished. History in any book states that Somaliland was independent nation in the stint from of June 26-July 1st. However, whether you try to interpret your own way or not, the history will remain to be what it truelly was and that is that Somaliland did infact become independent state before they chose a union with the South.

Uma, you don't strike me as a sexual personal by any means. A couzin of my habaryar, once said she didn't enjoy having intercourse with her hubby. So habaryartey wexey weydiisay, naa kaale, hada adoo 6 ilmo dhalay aa maanta inta inaad isoo fadhiisatay aa idhahee, I don't enjoy having intercourse with hubby? So the couzin of my habaryar said, well aniga intercourse maka helo, waayo, sida aniga iyo asaga waligiin wax pleasure eh nama dhaxyaalin. She went on to explain to my habaryar the way ayada iyo ninkeeda ay ilaa iyo hada 6 ilmo kusoo dhaleen.(wallaahi waa runtii iney 6 ilmo qabto) Her explanation went like this and I Am not making this up by any means. Ninka comes to the room, prior to his arrival, she would go and handle her business, come to the bed, and turn all lights off, and she will position herself with lugaheeda cirka ayagoo fiirinaayaan. He knows the arrival time, he will come, go on top of her, do what he has to do to relief himself and the show is over. No affection, no hugging, no kissing, non of that. Foreplay hadeyba kuu taqaano ba. Naagtaas when she was explaining all of this to my aunt, daacad ey aheed sida ay ugu sharaxeyse the system ay ilmo ku dashay. The moral of this story is that the minute aan aqriye your response about "eww, puke oo the thought o condom iga keenaa" I thought of islaantaas, and wondered what else oo puke kaa keenaayo. I am sure pleasure toys are out of the question where you are concerned, right? (don't worry, you don't have to answer) PS: Just by your response to KK about the love aa baby u qabto was more in the lines that you enjoy the idea of a baby, but not so might about the mechanism behind it all? Kool kat ayaan layaaabaanaa laakin kadaroo dibi dhal..war hayaay meeshu way isku waalata.... Ps. that was funny though.
