See here for more interesting pics from the world of Somalis. http://www.waryatv.c om/read/article/1287

Here we go again: How did Sh. Shariif come up in this thread again? leave the man alone for once..

Masha Allah classic somali couples.

Abdullahi Yusuf did a 'great job' in using Ethiopian military might to maw down whole lot of Somali people, specifically your clan members. How nice of you to thank him for that!

And you can pray with your shoes.

sherben Shabeel: what made you interested in the somali language and all things somali? You probably asked this before so excuse if you have already answered.

Love the uniforms.

In all honestly Riyaale is not smarter than Shariif. Perhaps Silaanyo is.

he needs to shut his mouth seriously! This is so call leader of Somaliland and he cant even speak properly. "waxaa tagay Jabouti, waxaan la kulmay laba nin oo mid uu Maraykan yahay" wtf who talks like that?

The funny part here is you're are in the whitest of white countries and you seem to be enjoying yourself? ahah now that is funny. I copy/pasted his article out of mere interest, not because he is white. But because I know Somalis such as yourself enjoy and would rather read and comprehend the input of foreign than an opinion of a Somali. Had I said the same thing along the lines I would be getting threatened or slandered i.e I'm high on Khat, using the misery of others as PR tool. bla bla :rolleyes:

Originally posted by NASSIR: Mudane,"Somaliland" should follow the footsteps of Puntland. The latter enjoys greater autonomy and has its eyes on the rich lands of Shabelle and Juba rivers. A united Somalia under a federal framework might turn Somalia into an economic powerhouse. The federal government will deal with the security of the nation from external threats while fulfilling our international obligations, jointly manage and tap our natural resources, regulate the public health, civil aviation, infrastructure, the financial system and the marketplace. The states pass tax laws on tourism, industrial development, energy, agriculture and manage tax revenues and spend on transportation, electricity, water, housing and education. Who is thwarting us from realizing this great potential? I dont know what Puntland has that Somaliland doesn't have. Besides that I think there is always a possibility that anything could be worked out if there is mutual respect and platform for all Somalis. Where we stand today, federal Somali states are a long shot because(and I don't want to offend or point fingers here), but the South is the Achilles heels of the Somali people. There are many elements that need to fall into place for Somaliland to ponder on such idea. What is holding us from realizing the dream of powerful, autonomous yet united federal states? well, again it's a question that needs to be dealt with in details. But I can tell you that a lot of things have to CHANGE. The question I always myself is federal automous states are great idea, but are somalis capable of implementing them?! Dhagax Tuur, You've read the article before then right? Now give others the chance to read and know. Again, I thought I got it out of the way to begin that I had no intent to gload in the misery and suffering of fellow Muslims and Somalis. The piece is harmless whereby the author interestingly mentions MANY countries besides Somalia/somaliland. The fact that it jumped at him when asked 'places he would visit again' is worth noting. The thought that "Somaliland gains or enjoys suffering of others" is insanely laughable. Why even make such silly counterproductive argument? it's quite repetitive statement that comes back here often and quite honestly that statement couldn't be any further from the truth. fact is Somaliland cares about Somalia as much as Somalia cares about Somaliland. It's two street, no blaming one or the other.

Bal ninkaan eega! how freaking long of a story have you written about Gorowe? . Waa taagtay, waad fadhiisatay, waad seexatay, waad ku qayishay waanad kasoo noqotay and perhaps you ran into few pirates along the way. Ku dhakhso sheekada adeer, dhaga!

This thing is in the bag man. Where there is smoke, there is a fire. Extension has already been debated by the guurti. Britain and Ethiopia have pressured the opposition to except the six point agreement including an extension to which Silaanyo has agreed to. It's just not official yet though, but as far as anything else it's another extension of Riyaale.

A country CAN have a good and bad parts, However our case is different, much different. The southern Somalia is beyond bad, it's human tragic far worse than Dar fur according to experts. Then you have other areas where life is calm and quite. It's almost strange to see supposedly 1 country in which there are two radically different situations. It's compelling really! The outsiders are drawn to that experience. The experience to land in Somalia's capital only to find themselves pinned down right outta the gate after short while travel Northward in that same country only to find peace and tranquility reign in Somaliland. off course you'd write the same had you been an outsider who was an alien who only heard of Somalia's dreadful South only to stumble across little place called Somaliland.

You guys are confusing him. Too many regional dialects going which complicates an already tough language.

Silaanyo is one patient man unlike any other Somali politician we have seen. That is all I have to say.

So it seems since both regions are Somalis and are or have been in the past the SOMALI REPUBLIC, thus drawing a contrast between them is quite understandable. Now as you can see I didn't highlight that part, hence not really gloating over it. As far as the author goes, he is only writing what he saw.

8,000 pounds? c'mon that is ALOT of money.

Mudane Maxamoud Axmed "Silaanyo" excepts six point agreement. Axmed-Siilaanyo Oo Ku Taliyay In La Joojiyo Maamuus Ka Xayuubinta iyo Muddo Kordhinta (Hadhwanaagnews) Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Hargeysa(HWN) -Gudoomiyaha Xisbiga Mucaaradka ah ee KULMIYE Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud Siilaanyo, ayaa ku taliyay in la joojiyo mooshinadda Iska soo hor-jeeda ee ka socda golayaasha Baarlamaanka. Islamarkaana waxa uu cadeeyay in Xisbi ahaan ay aqbaleen soo jeedin Lix qodob ka kooban oo ay bulshada caalamku ku taliyeen in gundhig looga dhigo soo afjarida khilaafaadka siyaasaddeed ee ka dhashay dibu dhacyadda doorashadda Madaxtooyadda ee Somaliland. Gudoomiyaha Kulmiye oo xalay gurigiisa Saxaafadda kulla hadlay waxa uu ugu horeyn ka waramay khilaafaadka siyaasadeed ee dalka ka oogan iyo dhinacyadda is xil-qaamay ee doonaya inay dhameeyaan muranka taagan, haddii ay ahaan lahayd dalka dibadiisa gurmadka ka yimi iyo haddii ay noqon lahayd guddiyada is xilqaamay ee wadanka gudihiisaba, kuwaasoo uu sheegay inay dhamaantood soo dhaweynayaan una mahad-naqayaan.“Wax kasta oo dalkan ka nabad-gelinaya, khal-khal iyo dhibaato ee ka nabad-gelinaya kali talisnimo, ee ka nabad-gelinaya doorasho mar walba dib u dhacda maw-qifka aanu ka taaganahay horena waanu u cadaynay immikana waanu caddaynayaa oo waa soo dhaweynaynaa.” Sidaas ayuu yidhi Siilaanyo, waxaa uu soo qaaday shuruudo uu hore ugu xidhay kullan koox salaadiin ahi soo jeediyeen in Hogaanka Saddexda Xisbi yeeshaan, kaasoo uu sheegay inay Salaadiinta ku wargeliyeen inay diyaar-yihiin una hogaansamayaan, balse ay tahay in la sii daayo dad la xidh-xidhay dhawaan iyo in ay kalsooni ku qabaan cidda dhexda noqonaysa oo laga talo geliyo. Taasoo uu sheegay in ay taagan-tahay, ee aanay ka noqon xisbi ahaana ay la taagan-yihiin meel kasta. Waxaana uu intaa ku daray Axmed Siilaanyo in wadamada daneeya Somaliland ee caalamka oo mudaba ku jiray arrimo dhex-dhexaadineed ay soo saareen qodobo la doonayo in lagu dhameeyo khilaafka, kuwaasoo uu sheegay inay aqbalsan-yihiin. “Heshiis is faham oo ay noo keeneen dawladaha Itoobiya iyo Ingiriiska iyo wadamadii caawinayay ee ku dhex-jiray mudada ee dhex-dhexaadinta ahayd ee aynu kaga baxsaneynay khilaafka iyo muranada taagan ee maanta isku dhaca keenaya, waxaanu ummada u sheegaynaa in aanu iyagana yeelay. Wixii ah talooyin ee lagu hubinayo in doorasho xalaal ahi ay dhacdo, iyada taladeedii waanu haynaa marka ay hawshu bilaabanto. Ama ha ahaadeen, waxa laga yeelayo warbaahinta qaranka ama ha noqoto hantida kale ee dawlada’e. si ay doorashadu u noqoto mid loo siman-yahay, taana waa ay nala qaateen qolooyinka hawsha gacanta ku haya inay jirto.” Ayuu yidhi Gudoomiyaha Kulmiye. Mudane Axmed Siilaanyo, waxa faah-faahiyay qodobadda heshiiskan waxaana hadalkiisa ka mid ahaa oo uu yidhi. “Waxaa ka mid ah qodobada heshiiskan, in ay tahay doorashada waqtigeeda maadaama aanay xiligeedii ku dhacayn loo dhiibayo guddi dhex-dhexaad ah oo la soo xulay oo beeshii caalamka iyo dadkii hawsha inala qabanayay ay soo xulleen oo farsamo-yaqaan ah oo anana aanu ka qayb-galayno, kuwaasoo soo qiyaasaya mudada ay qaadanayaan diiwaan-gelintii iyo hawshii Serverka ee kala shaandheynayay oo lagu noqonayo, Mudada ay qaadanayaan oo aan ahayn waqti dheer Bil iyo laba aan ka badan oo ay iyagu soo sameynayaan taasoo aanaan inta ay noqonayso aanaan garanayn hadda ee ay tahay inta farsamo ahaan ay qaadaneyso ayaa heshiiska ka mid ah. Waxaa kale oo ka mid in muddadaas Xubnaha Komishanka wax laga bedelayo oo Gudi doorasho oo lagu kal-soon-yahay la keenayo, taasoo ah qodobadii aanu mar walba ka hadlaynay in la isku raaco, iyo in deeqbixiyayaashu bixiyaan wixii kharash ah.” Axmed Siilaanyo waxaa uu ku dooday in aanay qodobadani diidayn in laga wadda hadlo arrimaha aan heshiiska laga gaadhin ee taagan. “Lixdan qodob ma diidayaan wixii toosin ah ee lagu hubinayo dhameystirkooda, inay noo furan-tahay oo wadahadalku sii soconayo waanu u sheegnay, qolada soo jeedisayna waa ay naga aqbaleen. Laakiin, kuwani waa kuwii aas-aasiga ahaa ee marxaladan taagan ee xasaasiga ah ee labadii Gole isla hor-fadhiyaan laba mooshin, ee midna leeyahay waa kordhinayaa, midna leeyahay waan ridaynaa ay tahay wixii lagaga baxsanayay.”Ayuu yidhi Axmed Siilaanyo Gudoomiyaha Xisbiga UCID ayaa shalay kullan uu ka qayb-galay waxa uu ka soo jeediyay in labada Gole joojiyaan mooshinadda is barkan. Sidaa darteed, Gudoomiyaha KULMIYE oo arragtidiisa dhawaaqaas ka soo yeedhay xisbiga kale iyo joojinta ladaba mooshin la weydiiyay waxa uu sheegay in Xisbiga UCID u madax-banaan-yahay arrimihiisa, balse Kulmiye ahaan ay qabaan in labada Gole Hakiyaan arrintan. “Maanta waxaa loo baahan-yahay deganaasho iyo xasilooni in khilaafkan lagu jiro lagaga baxo. Sida aanu u arragno in lagaga baxana waanu sheegnay. Qudhayadu waxaanu u aragnaa labadaa mooshin in aanay midkoodna maanta waxba kordhineyn… markaa, waxaanu qabnaa in labadaba la joojiyo.” Waxa la sii weydiiyay oo kale, gudoomiyaha KULMIYE is bedeladda ay had iyo jeer ka sameeyaan mawaaqifta adag ee xisbi ahaan ay qaataan. Haddii la eego, muddo kordhintii Guurtidu isu sameysay, kuwii loo kordhiyay Madaxtooyadda iyo arrimo kalaba,. Waxaana uu ku jawaabay oo uu yidhi. “Intaa aad ku hadlayso, waxaan qabaa in aanaan midnaba ku khaldaneyn, intaba sax ayaanu ku ahayn, in muddii doorashada ay dhaaftay shaki kuma jiro, in cidda masuulka ka ahayd ee gabtay ay tahay Xukuumadda Rayaale ayna fulin weyday shaki kuma jiro. Imikana rayigayagaas, wax iska bedalay ma jiraan. Laakiin, marka khilaaf yimaado ee dhibaato timaado, ee dagaal timaado, ee Abaar timaado ee ay noqoto in la is marri waayo oo ay gaadho in isku dhac yimaado, waxa immanaya talaa imanaysa, waa lagula wadaagayaa taladda, waxa kulla wadaagaya wixii wax ku taraya guddo iyo dibad-ba, waxaa iyo dareenka dadka umma daymo la’aaneyno. Mawqif waanu is taagaynaa haa, laakiin, mid uun waligayo taagnaan mayno, fur-furaan ayaanu la imanaynaa, danta iyo maslaxadda ummada waxaanu u arragno waanu la imanaynaa. waanu is bedelaynaa marka loo baahdo in la is bedello.” Hadalkan Gudoomiyaha KULMIYE waxa uu ahaa kii ugu danbeeyay ee cadeeyay inay ogol-yihiin iyo mawqifka ay qodobadan beesha caalamku soo jeediyay ka qabaan. Madaxweyne Rayaale ayaa sidoo kale shalay golihiisa wasiiradda ka ansixiyay iyadoo Xisbiga UCID doraad cadeeyay arrintaas inay ku qanacsan-yihiin. Source: Wargeyska Geeska Afrika, Hargeysa Su

Simon reveals airport gun battle horror By KIERAN MEEKE - Sunday, September 20, 2009 Writer and broadcaster Simon Reeve, 37, has hosted TV travel epics Holidays In The Danger Zone, Tropic Of Capricorn, Equator and Places That Don't Exist. A season comprising episodes from the four shows starts tonight on digital TV channel Eden You like obscure places, don’t you? There’s a group of people who are looking for experiences to expand their minds, rather than just giving them a tan. You quickly forget the tan, but somewhere such as Georgia or Syria you will remember for the rest of your life. Do you worry about spoiling places by opening them up to mass tourism? Look at Madagascar – they only get a few thousand British tourists every year. I’ve been banging on about how it’s the most amazing place on the planet for a while and there’s been no noticeable increase in visitors. Very few people have been to those places and I can’t see them being deluged by package tourism. And who am I to say package tourism is a bad thing? What we have seen in the past few decades is the democratisation of travel. People from families such as mine, who would never have had the chance to go abroad before, could go to Spain or Portugal. Package holidays can be a good thing: they pay for national parks, jobs and livelihoods. When was the golden age of travel? For normal folk like me, this is. We have opportunities to travel that generations to come will be appalled and in awe of: that we did it, sometimes without thinking of the consequences. In terms of finding new places, the [time of the] great Victorian explorers – going to places that were still gaps in the maps. There are very few wildernesses left. In Africa, most of the giant parks there are glorified safari parks. How would you have made out as a Victorian explorer? Absolutely hopeless. Wearing that itchy tweed and climbing up Everest, or travelling into the depths of the jungle carrying a pith helmet or a grand piano? Being away from home for years on end? The wife would have left you and got married and had kids… I mean, it’s just not for me. Where do you still want to go? Russia. I’ve been to all the former Soviet republics, but never Russia. Also Canada and Mali. Generations to come will be appalled that we took opportunities to travel without thinking of the consequences Where do you want to go back to? Somaliland, in the Horn of Africa. It’s one of the most amazing places I’ve been to because the people there have built it up after a devastating civil war. It’s the democratic, stable half-brother to Somalia, which is a chaotic hellhole. I was nearly electrocuted in Mogadishu, I had to be protected by 12 mercenaries. Then I went to Somaliland, which has tourism and traffic lights but no country in the world recognises it. I also enjoyed Paraguay: it’s at the end of the world and there were cannibals there until a few decades ago. That’s why I love it. Any travel tips? Wear a seat belt, eat the local yoghurt, get the bugs in your system. And don’t worry: people are fantastically welcoming everywhere. Go and visit those far-flung places and tell people about them when you come back. What is the world’s worst airport? In Mogadishu, there was a gun battle going on for control of the airfield when we flew in. Nobody else was getting off [the ground] apart from me and my BBC crew, and this very burly Russian pilot and his co-pilot toasted us with vodka – never a good sign – and just laughed at us, slightly hysterically. Which country should we watch out for in the future? Turkey is going to surprise people. Istanbul is my favourite city in the world outside Britain. You’ve got graffiti in the Hagia Sophia – one of the most amazing buildings in history – written by the Vikings in 900AD. Politically it is exciting – what’s happening there will go some way towards determining the future of Islam. And it’s an economic powerhouse: so much of what we use here is made in China or Turkey.

Qu'on le veuille ou non, le Somaliland est là pour rester et oui qui comprend Awdal.
