Adeer, its kindly present this "fact" in writing, Dallaal ma taqaanaa? Dallaalayaasha Bosaso soo weydii. also how does it impact this thread topic? It does impact this thread because this business boom you mentioned won't be booming that long as the supply will be going to some other ports. P.s. Horta af-Soomaali ma qortaa? Armaan nin aan Soomaaliba aqoon ku daalnaa la doodistiisa.

Well then why do you hate Somaliland? And don't even try to question your hatred of Somaliland, I will prove it.

That the Western Somalia has the largest number of livestock in Somalia is my opinion, waryaa dhuuk dhagaweyne? It is a fact, yo!

I always thought that good hair is a gift to any Somali girl. Now I will make sure I check out Somali girls' hair before I commit myself to one LOL. Midda kale, girls ha dhageysanina ibtisaam xanjadeeda bey waa hore meel ku dhajisatay, I don't see the problem of saying what kind of hair you get.

^LOOOOOL. I would help u if I can write in Swahili. That aside what is with all attack and response songs? Dad waalan

Labadaan gobol ee 'laan' la baxay, waa Waqooyi Galbeed iyo Waqooyi Bari, dadka difaaco inta ku jiro maxee ugu egyihiin laba naag la isla qabo. Who da husband is? Me smells someone by the name of Zenawi, former refugee in Somalia.

Duke, I just stated a fact, I don't understand what your problem is.

Dalaalayaasha joogo Bosaaso soo wareeso.

Since you failed to comprehend my point let me clarify it for you. Largest number of livestock comes from Western Somalia thus it is a big problem any Somali port to miss that business. Berbara port must be feeling lucky this time or maybe Djibouti.

Wayaano jabyoo waxaa ku dhacay jab iyo baaruud dheh!

Haatu, Duke buufis buu qabaa wuu is ilaalinayaa suaal ha weydiin LOL. Duke, I don't know if there is a shortage of livestock in Bari, I was just stating a mere fact.

Military Communiqué 16 November 2009 The Oga-den National Liberation Front's latest multi-ront offensive which began on 10 November 2009 has resulted in a total of 626 regime troops killed thus far. Among the killed are twelve field officers. The ONLF has captured sensitive intelligence gathering material including communications monitoring equipment. ONLF casualties were minimal given that our forces had the element of surprise on all fronts. A significant amount of military hardware has been captured or destroyed including small arms, ammunition, and communications equipment. Military grade maps have also been captured. A total of 4 large military transport vehicles have been destroyed. ONLF field commanders are encouraging scattered regime troops still in the vicinity to surrender. They will be treated humanely and those wishing to be transferred to our allies the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) will receive safe passage to OLF units. A significant number of civilians are now receiving medical care from ONLF units. Our forces have also freed Somali civilians which were detained in several of the regimes barracks taken by our forces during this operation. Many of those civilians show signs of torture. The bodies of the regimes troops are still scattered on the battlefield in places such as Obolka where they present a health hazard to the local Somali community. Military operations are still ongoing. Ogden National Liberation Front (ONLF) Military Command Centre (MCC)

Lool@xeydha jecli beerka jecli.

LOL no chief I wasn't serious. You are one of the few here in SOL who can speak good Somali.

The hijackers' intention was to take and kidnap the foreigners and ask for ransom. Wax weynba nimanku meysan rabin, if they were real hijackers they would've shot two or three passengers to shut them up.

In Arabic, silently and repeatedly, I recite the shahadah –“I testify that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” Ninku si fiican buu u cabsaday.

The corrupt and opportunist elite of that region do not represent that clan-family name On behalf of one-third of that big clan-family, I approve this message!
