SOME MORE PHOTOS OF BAY & BAKOOL baydhabo airport Greetings from baydhabo Former President of USA George Bush senior in baydhabo

The photos of Muqdhisho are for many people from Muqdhisho very disturbing to see, because they feel it hides the fact how people are suffering in Muqdhisho. The photos are only of a small part of Muqdhisho wich has been build and where only Somali businessmen roam. Thoso photos of Xamar are not representative for the city, because the city is still destroyed after 14 years. This is a recent article of Hiiraan.com: 14 sano oo dowlad la’aan iyo bur bur ah kadib waa sidee muuqaalka faras magaalihii Muqdisho? Isniin, February 23, 2004 Dabcan in badan oo ka mid ah dadka soomaaliyeed oo aan ku nooleyn gudaha dalka Soomaaliya marka lagu soo hadal qaado Muqdisho waxaa u sawirmaya in magaala madaxda dalka Soomaaliya oo beri ka mid noqotay kuwo ugu nabadgelyada badan caasimadaha dunida in ay haatan tahay mida ugu nabadgelyada xun oo ay aalaaba ka dhacaan falal lid ku ah bani’aadannimada sida dilka, kufsiga, af-duubka, dhaca IWM. Run ahaantii sawirkaas laga heysto magaalada Muqdisho waa mid jira, falalkaas ka baxsan bani’aadannimada wey ka dhacaan, inkastoo maalmahaan ay soo yaraanayaan kadib markii ay dad waxgarad ah u sara istaageen la dagaalanka kooxaha burcadda ah ee ka dambeeya fal dambiyeedyadaas. Haddaba si aan aqristaayeesha qiimaha leh aan u tusno sida uu yahay muuqaalka magaalada Muqdisho oo bur bur weyn ku dhacay ayaan haddii aan nahay bahda Hiiraan Online aan dhexda u xiranay sidii aan sawirro uga soo qaadi lahayn bur burka magaalada, gaar ahaan meelihii caanka ahaa. Runtii ma ahan wax sahlan in aad si dhib la’aan ah sawirro uga qaadato bur burka magaalada Muqdisho waayo waxaa goobaha aad sawiradooda daawaneysaan gacanta ku haya maleeshiyooyin beeleedyo kala beel ah oo ilaa qabiil ka soo jeeda, kuwaasoo leh soohdimo yar yar oo aysan isaga tallaabi karin iyaga qudhooda. Intii aan ku guda jiray sawiridda bur burka magaalada waxaa dhex socday meelo bilic ahaan aad qurux badnaa xiligii dowladda jirtay, balse haatan marka aad dhex mareyso aad baqeyso, waxaadna maqleysaa codka shimbiro deegaan ka sameystay geedo waa weyn oo ka baxay gudaha daaraha bur buray ee isugu jiray kuwo ay dowladdii lahayd iyo kuwo ay dad gaar ah lahaayeen. Waxaan ka bilaabay taaladii Dal-jirka dahsoon oo sida aad sawirka ka arki arktaan bur burin loo geystay iyo weliba xaruntii baarlamaanka oo ilaa maanta bur burin lagu hayo, iyadoo ay dad wax ma garato ah kala baxayaan dhagxaan adag iyo biraha shubka ah oo ay dib u sii iib geysanayaan, waan ka sii gudbay waxaan dhinac maray aniga oo hareeraha eeg eegaya Hotel Shabeelle oo gebi ahaantiisba dhulka lala simay, waan ka sii gudbay waxaan qooraansaday gurigii Talyaaniga ee la oran jiray Casa Italia oo ay qaxooti dhex degan yihiin, kaliyana lagala baxay daliishadihii iyo albaabadii, waan ka sii socday waxaan dhexgalay kaniisiddii oo si ka duwan sida loo bur buriyay guryaha kale ee hareeraheeda ku yaala u bur bursan waayo sida la ii sheegay waxaa dhowr jeer bam ku xiray kooxo diimeedyo ka soo horjeeda in ay barteeda sii jirto, waxyaabihii aan la yaabay ee aan kaniisadda ku dhex arkayna waxaan ka mid ahaa lafo dad oo ku dhex jira ceel aan dheereyn oo guray, waxaana u qaatay in qofkaas inta la dilay meydkiisa ceelka lagu soo dhex riday. Waxaan soo abaaray bangigii ganasiga iyo keydka Soomaaliyeed oo ay ku taalo busteejo laga raaco gaadiidka dadweynaha, waxayna meesha isbaaro u taalaa maleeshiyooyin lacag baad ah ka qaata gaadiidka laga raro busteejadaas, intii aanan soo gaarin oo aysan si fiican ii arkin maleeshiyooyinka hubeysan ee halkaas ku sugan ayaan sawir xatooyo ah ka qaatay wejiga hore ee bangiga, kadibna waxaan u sii gudbay Hote-lkii Curuba oo isaguna weliba bur burin lagu hayo. Waxaa hoos fadhiya Hotel-ka oo isugu yimaada sida ii muuqatay kooxo xarfaan ah oo qaarkood meesha u yimaada in ay dhagaxa kala sii baxaan Hotel-ka iyo kuwo kale oo meesha ku gaadaya wax dagan oo ay horay u sii qaataan. Aniga oo darridda Camerada ku haya nin buris ku garaacaya tiirarka hoose ee Hotelka ayaa waxaa si kedis hoosta iiga soo gelay seddex wiil oo dhalinyaro ah, kuwaasoo meel dheer iga soo wiideystay, waxayna igu qabteen qori AK47 ah oo uu mid ka mid ah ku hubeysnaa, waxba isma waalin, mana argagixin waayo in badan ayaan u soo joogay dhacdooyin noocaan oo kale ah, midkii qoriga watay ayaa igu yiri “keen camerada, gadaalna u siko”, waan qaatay amarkaas aniga oo baraf ka qabow, dibna waan u sikaday, waxaa ii soo baxday arrin aan ka cabsanayay oo ahayd in aan la kulmayo arrin sidan oo kale ah waayo meesha aan wax ka sawirayay xitaa looma ogolaado in ay sawirro ka qaataan wariyayaasha ajnabiga ee ay la socdaan maleeshiyooyinka hubeysan, dhowr jeer ayayna meeshaas ka dhacday is-rasaaseyn sababtay dhimasho iyo dhaawac. Dood dheer kadib waxaan is-af-garanay mid ka mid ahaa wiilashii hubeysnaa oo aan si hoose ula hadlay, kadibna wuxuu igu yiri “aniga ayaa kuwan la hadlayee ma heysaa wax aan camerada uga fujino”, markaas ayaan jeebka si deg deg ah uga soo saaray lacag aan badneyn oo aan gaari raac ahaan u watay, kadibna sidaas ayay cameradii iigu soo noqotay iyaga oo weliba ii ogolaaday in aan qaato sawirro ii harsanaa, kadibna si dhaqsi ah ayaan uga laabtay goobihii beri ahaa faras magaalaha Muqdisho balse haatan aad nafsaddaada kala baqeysid. Waxay ahayd arrin aan u bareeray si aan bur burka magaalada u tusno aqristayaasheena dibadaha ku nool ee aadka u daneynaya in arkayaan sida haatan tahay Muqdishadii ifeysay 14 sano ka hor, waxaana filayaa in ay dad badan oo yaqiinay daaraha haatan bur bursan ee aan soo sawirnay sida ay ahaan jireen xiligii dowladnimada ka jirtay Soomaaliya ay ilmo ka soo daadan doonto indhahooda bacdamaa muraayaddii dalka Soomaaliya uu sidan noqday nasiibkeeda. Si kastaba, dadku wey nool yihiin weli, inkastoo ay daawanayaan maati dayacan, maleeshiyooyin degta qoriga ku wada sita, daaro bur bursan, waxayna badankood hadal hayaan in mar ay ahaataba dhibaatadaan laga bixi doono, Muqdishana uu dib ugu soo laaban doono muuqaalkeedii quruxda badnaa.

Sophist, I'm an 18 year old senior high school student in ATL Georgia. And Insha Allah I'll go to college next year if I pass the SAT, but I'don't know what to study. The only thing I know is something that involves helping other people (no medecine!!). I was thinking about studying Law in Minnesota state University but my dad said that being a lawyer is bad in islam and I don't want to commit a sin every day till I retire. Probably it's gonna be in the direction of business or politics. Gonna live with my uncle there in Minnesota and hope to take classes from a Somali professor and study with Somali students. That would be the bomb but nothing is sure yet, only haddi Alle idmo! Nabad iyo Caano PS: if practising Law is Xaaraam than why were there even lawyers back home in Somalia? Or were they just westernized?

Ameenah you're totally right about praying, because knowing Ilaahay is there to protect you against that EVIL test makes you more confident and relaxed. And about not studying with friends, it depends with kind of friends you have. If you have serious friends who are as motivated as you are, there's no problem. Of course you're gonna talk but at least you can test each other and ask questions to each other. And if you feel insecure about the test than you can compare yourself with your friends from school. No big deal, we do it all the time. After school get some pizza or whatever and go to someone's house and study till we drop or go to the library but that's boring and you can't discuss. I hope some people will agree with me on this one. Nabad iyo Caano

looooool @ ship them to arraweelo land. Qori not all of them are *** -holes.....some of them like Mudane Cabdullaahi Yuusuf Axmed want to lead Somalia back to it's glory. But I'll be careful about my judgement about him I personally would like the honourable ex-prime minister Cabdirisaaq Xaaji Xuseen as new president. But he is old and maybe politically to weak to get Somalia out of this shit. This isn't the peaceful 60s years anymore you know. So I'm not nessecarily saying that Cabdullaahi Yuusuf Yeey should be president but there isn't much option.
