I was in India in 2005, to visit a sick relative, and heard of all the fuzz , guys coming from Europe, US, Australia, New Zealand, to marry Indian girls, There was this guy from States, he has been married before laakin Bacda madow baa debeda loo dhigay, I wanted to accompany and was curious to see the selection process, It took 2 sessions a day, (30- 40 girls at each session), 7 days to choose one. The girls, and their families, gathered in another Somali man's house, who lives there, and married to Indian woman. Everything was like Somali meher sessions, with drinks, cakes, and formal.And he paid for the organizing the events. In one of the sessions I went with him,with two other Somali guys, there were like 30 girls , and their families, who came to see this guy , markaa suu dhaha taas maya tan danbe, maya tii hore fiicnay? war mid dooro dee, at the end he choose a very pretty girl, 20 years old, religious, who spoke no English, Some of the guys advised this would be a challenge,,,,laakin waa kaga dhegtay, "Maya, Maya, Tani i dhaafi mayso!" Then he took her to a medical clinic, with all testings done, then there was meher, and a wedding, with Somali students invited ...Some of the girls were educated, some not, and some of them after seeing the man, said no. He gave money to her family which was extremely unusual in their culture even though they are Muslims. The only thing that surprise me was the whole selection process, and how their families were willing to give up their daughters, they could come to the room we were staying, say their names, he was allowed to ask few questions etc, and they go back. He took her to Somalia, and I heard within 6 months, she mastered Somali language. Markaa ninba dookhii...Dulkaas la amaanse.

lol, Welcome Shanka Roon, bahasha da'dana dadka lagu ma soo qaad qaado iyo qorteey meesha soo galeen...Hanaga nixin.

That is not to say Puntland does not need major political reform. Puntland needs to make the transition from clan delegation forming its parliament, to elections where people elect thier reps just like the SL region did. Xiin, Could you explain to us how Puntland Parliament members are chosen? and how it is different from TFG? Are all the clans in Puntland have members in Parliament? are the seated allocated fairly?

Ninkaad kaba ka tolanaysid kabihiisaa la eega! why oppose to 4.5 system in TFG, while Puntland is built on CLAN systems? Start reforming Puntland first! or is it listen what I say, but not what I do... This is hypercritical, and stup!d

I hope deep down that somali people wakes up and realises where this game is heading, and that these enemies in disguise called Beesha caalamka etc. wishes nothing but evil for ourselves, and most important for our deen.

Maskiin , Did he really think they were helping him? Somalia? Did he trust them? and thought 550 MPs would work to begin with, or he only cared to be a President. This TFG is all fake. What a waste!

Awliyadii Duriyada baa heshay miyaa?

What about back in Ethiopia? Real change, People power? Change must come within? not in far cities.

I am alarmed how the plight of the Somali people is totally ignored, by the media, (Even Aljazeera has less coverage on Somalia these days) You will hear reports on Libya, Ivory Coast, Sudan, but never on Somalia! maybe the world had enough of Somali stories.

Interesting stuff, Yes, bawaag qor.... We should change and get rid of cultural beliefs that is threatening the existence of the Somali people. I want to know how far can a cultural beliefs hinder creativity? the cultural belief could based on misunderstanding the religion ? unwillingness to change? When a student is told no to explore certain areas cuz its forbidden/not allowed in culture? This could also be saying no Somali norms? cultural beliefs? Questioning them?
