Mark Corcoran follows two expatriate Somalis on their journey home to a country ravaged by a decade of civil war and famine. Issa Farah is a relentlessly optimistic and charismatic character who’s made the same journey already seven times in the past year, evacuating 17 seriously ill children to Australia for medical treatment. His travelling companion is a slightly apprehensive orthopaedic surgeon Dr Aidarus Farah, who fled Mogadishu at the height of the civil war and now lives with his family in New Zealand. Farah has persuaded Aidarus – despite the fears of his wife, who is terrified he’ll be kidnapped or killed – to return for a month to operate at a hospital in Puntland where there are barely any beds, let alone a qualified specialist. With the war in the rest of the country still raging, and Mogadishu a dangerous urban jungle fought over by trucks of gun-toting kids, the town of Bosaso, on Somalia’s northern Red Sea Coast, is a relative haven of peace. It’s the capital of Puntland, a self-styled state that declared its autonomy from the rest of Somalia six years ago, and is presided over by warlord Abdullahi Yusif, one of the great survivors of Somali politics. Bosaso used to be small town of some 5,000 people – now, as the refugees flood in from Mogadishu, it’s become a teeming city of more than 400,000, all attracted by that rarest of commodities in Somalia – peace. The hospital offers the only medical treatment for half a million people in the region, yet has few facilities. As word spreads of Aidarus’s arrival, patients desperate for help from the only “bone doctor” they’re ever likely to see, flock to the hospital from kilometres around. For Aidarus, it’s overwhelming. “I wasn’t expecting this,” he tells Corcoran. “The cases that are coming through that door – it’s unbelievable!” As the orthopaedic surgeon sets to work as best he can, using instruments and beds donated by a hospital in Melbourne, Farah takes Corcoran on a tour of the town. Just across from the hospital is the local drug market, turning over around $US50,000 worth of “qat” a day. The market is controlled and taxed by the local militia and not surprisingly, none of the profits find their way to the struggling hospital on the other side of the street. The dealers are none too pleased by the attention, and Corcoran, Farah and the crew have to beat a fast retreat when they’re mistaken for American spies. Down at the once sleepy port, business is booming, as it’s one of the few places still safe enough for goods to be traded. Farah even runs into an old mate from Melbourne – Kadir Mohmmed, who used to be in IT but has returned to the country of his birth to run a seafood import business. Back at the hospital, Aidarus has decided that he simply can’t leave yet, although Issa is returning to Melbourne with yet another child needing help. “You can’t just come here once and go,” he says. “I’m a Somali. If I don’t help, who will?” He’ll stay for a few more weeks, and then return again for regular visits. But far to the south, in Kenya, it may all be unravelling. The long-awaited Somali peace talks are in danger of collapsing, following a threatened walk-out by 17 warlords – including Puntland’s ruler, Abdullahi Yusef. It’s a grim future for the 7 million Somalis who remain in the country, and the two million exiles who would like to return home. For those of you who are living in Australia please watch the full documentary on ABC on Tuesday March 30th @ 9:20 pm

i don't know if someone posted this b4!!! but here it goes!!!!!!!!!!! Last year a friend of mine upgraded GirlFriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that it's a memory hog leaving very little system resources for other applications. He is only now noticing that Wife 1.0 also is spawning Child-Processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application. Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization where it can monitor all other system activity. He's finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before). At installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day. The features he'd like to see in the upcoming Wife 2.0 include: -- A "Don't remind me again" button -- Minimize button -- An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 to be installed with the option to uninstall at anytime without the loss of cache and other system resources. -- An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would allow the systems hardware probe feature to be much more useful. I myself decided to avoid all of the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 2.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 2.0 on top of Girlfriend 1.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug which I should have been aware of. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a ****** bug by now. To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend 1.0 doesn't work very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing -- all versions of Girlfriend continually pop-up little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0. BUG WARNING Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources. Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.0 via a UseNet provider under an anonymous name. Here again, beware of the viruses which can accidentally be downloaded from the UseNet.

dono what it mean but i'll say Shiir Netscape or explorer?

Girls: all of'em.... well most of them Fellaz yep Definitely my sports crew Northener ( i would like to see if he still has that Curtly Ambrose reverse swing after all those years ) Shujui (introduce him to the wonderful games of cricket) Winger (even though you're Man U fan :mad: ) and Mob_Depp (cool dude) Rudy (funny dude)
