Just couple of weeks ago, two young woman were looking over me and describing me in Somali while I sat right near them. Appereantly they thought I was Chinese and black. Imagine their surprise when I turned around after a while and asked them casually "walaal waa meeqa saac".

Sharon quits Likud and calls election By Sharmila Devi andHarvey Morris in Jerusalem Published: November 22 2005 02:00 | Last updated: November 22 2005 02:00 Ariel Sharon, prime minister, yesterday staked his future leadership of Israel on quitting the Likud party he helped to found and forming a new centrist party to fight early elections next year. His move came after the Labour party, under a new leftwing leader, left the governing coalition and Mr Sharon was faced with either trying to face down rightwing rebels in Likud or seeking a new mandate. Mr Sharon yesterday asked President Moshe Katsav to dissolve parliament, paving the way for an general election in March and a dramatic realignment of Israeli politics. By the time he formally announced last night the creation of what he described as a new "liberal movement for Israel", Mr Sharon had already secured the support of at least 13 out of 39 other Likud parliamentarians. Israeli media said a number of academics and a former intelligence chief were among others who planned to join. Mr Sharon said Likud in its present format was "unable to lead Israel to its national goals". He said he had been confident of leading the party to a third election victory but had decided to put the good of the state above "comfortable personal interests". He said he would pursue a peace settlement that would see the dismantling of terrorist organisations and the fixing of Israel's permanent borders in line with the international "road map" towards a two-state solution. In a final peace accord, he conceded, some West Bank settlements would go. Mr Sharon was trying to sign up Shimon Peres, the former Labour leader recently ousted by Amir Peretz, a union leader. Mr Sharon, 77, told Mr Peres, 82, at the weekend that they would work together in the future. Mr Sharon will remain prime minister until the elections, which are to be hotly contested by his new party and Likud and Labour under new leaderships. Benjamin Netanyahu, former finance minister, is the prime contender to lead Likud while Mr Peretz is expected to take Labour further to the left. By quitting Likud, Mr Sharon avoided a party leadership challenge from Mr Netanyahu before the next elections. Rightwing opposition to Mr Sharon centred on his withdrawal of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip earlier this year, but yesterday he gave no sign of a softer line towards the Palestinians. A spokesman said there were no new peace initiatives or plans for further withdrawals from the occupied Palestinian territories. These are steps that would help to bring Labour and other leftwing parties into any future coalition with Mr Sharon. The Palestinian Authority also faces a period of political uncertainty, with legislative elections due in January. Nabil Shaath, deputy prime minister, said yesterday the Palestinians were "watching carefully the unfolding political developments to see their consequences on the peace process".

The Sheikh had informed those men to come to Maghrib prayer and discuss the issue with the greater community - but they didn't show up. Then, that incident was followed by the Sheikh's arrest and my Somali brethren were quick to tie those two things to each other. You have the two missing peices of the puzzle. Now that the immediate surprise and hysterics have subsided, the rumours are giving away to more accurate descriptions of the situation. The Sheikh was arrested at the behest of the Somalis. It seems as though the grudge bearers intruded into confidential areas and found out some immigration irregulars concerning the good Sheikh. It seems as though the good Sheikh came to the United States as a member of one of the more "disadvantaged" peoples of the Somalis, while he infact is not. The charges used to arrest and detain the Sheikh were based soley on that irregular which was brought to light by the Somali grudge bearers. Soomaali walle dhibaato hor leh bay wadaan. I say check their, the accuser's, immigration status and expose their irregulars. Soomaali markii afar meel loo dhigo, seddexbo waxa Shiiqu ku yimi iyo ka daran bay ku yimaadeene.

Qorshihii nabadda ee uu dhawaan soo bandhigay Barre Hiiraale oo u muuqdo inuu hirgalay iyadoo ay soo dhaweeyeen xubnaha dowladda ee ku kala sugan Muqdisho iyo Jowhar. November 19, 2005. HornAfrik. Mogadishu, Somalia. Qorshihii nabadda ee uu dhawaan soo bandhigay wasiirka dib u dhiska iyo dib u dajinta Barre Aadan Shire “Barre Hiiraale†ayaa u muuqdo inuu hirgalay iyadoo ay soo dhaweeyeen xubnaha dowladda ee ku kala sugan Muqdisho iyo Jowhar. Tan iyo markii ay bilaawatay inay xubnaha dowladda laba u kala qeybsamaan kalena degaan Muqdisho iyo Jowhar dhowr bilood ka hor waxaa sii xoogeysanayey khilaafka labada dhinac waxaana fashilmay tan iyo mudadaas dhowr isku day oo la doonayey in khilaafkaas lagu dhameeyo. Bilowgii sanadkan ayaa isku daygii ugu horeeyey uu fashilmay markii ay dowladda Yaman isugeysay madaxweyne C/laahi Yuusuf iyo guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka Shariif Xasan. Isku daygii labaad waxuu ku fashilmay dowladda Kenya iyadoo midkii Saddaxaadna uu ahaa kii lagu bixiyey dadaalka badan ee la isaga dab qaadayey labada dhinac kaas oo uu ka shaqeeyey wakiilka UN Mr. Fall, waxa uuna sheegay Mr. Fall inuu quus ka istaagay dib u heshiisnta xubnaha dowladda. Bil ka hor ayey soo ifbaxday rajo kale oo shacabka soo dhaweeyey taasoo aheyd hindisaha Barre Hiiraale iyadoo arrintaas ay ku kala qeybsameen meel marintiisa xubnaha Muqdisho inkasta oo markii dambe ay isku raaceen xubnaha baarlamaanka Muqdisho. Wasiirka dib u dhiska iyo dib u dajinta Barre Hiiraale ayaa arrintaas aad u soo dhaweeyey ay qaateen xubnaha Muqdisho ku sugan oo taladiisa ay raaceen. Barre Hiiraale ayaa dhinaca kale ka hadlay sida ay hindisahaas u soo dhaweeyeen xubnaha kale ee Jowhar ku sugan waxa uuna sheegay inuu la hadlay madaxweyne C/laahi Yuuusf oo ay soo dhaweeyeen hindisahaas ayna sugayaan Ra’isal wasaare Geeddi. Wasiirka dib u dhiska ayaa qoraalka uu u kala diray C/laahi Yuusuf iyo Shariif Xasan ee qorshaha wadahadalka ku sheegay inuu noqonayo laba waji oo midka Kowaad ay labada dhinac soo dirsanayaan soddon xubnood oo matasha kuwaas oo ugu horeyn isa soo horfariisanaya wixii ka halkaas ku qabsoomi waayana lagu dhameystirayo wajiga labaad oo ay isugu imaanayaan C/laahi Yuusuf iyo Shariif Xasan. Qorshahan ayaa ah kii ugu horeeyey oo uu isku dayo dib u heshiisiin uu dowladda ka dhex sameeyo mas’uul dowladda ka tirsan iyadoo ay dhinaca kale aad u yar tahay rajada laga qabi karo in tanaasul rasmi ah laga sameeyo qodobada la isku hayo kuwa ugu waaweyn sida dowrka Itoobiya iyo arrimaha Soomaaliya iyo xilal la magacaabay intii la kala tagay. Dadka siyaasada indha indheeya ayaa sheegaya in isbadal iyo xal laga gaari doono siyaasada cakiran iyo khilaafka u dhaxeeya dowladda mar haddii Soomaalida u soo jeesatay in dhexdooda ay is xaliyaan oo ay wadahadlan iyadoo maamulka Somaliland uu hore ugu guuleystay xalka arrimahiisa gudaha maadaama ay beesha caalamka muddo 15 sanno ah ay shirar u qabaneysay Soomaalida kuwaas oo aan wax guul ah laga gaarin.

Amazing news. So Barre is feeling little patriotic heh. We are all patriots in one way or another, aren't we? Rival lawmakers resolve to end rifts with Somali govt www.chinaview.cn 2005-11-17 03:12:45 NAIROBI, Nov. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Rival factions of the Somali interim government based in Mogadishu have agreed to reconcile with the government based in Jowhar in a bid to end the rifts that have hampered efforts to restore a functional government. Mohammed Ahmed, Somali government's deputy coordinator of Somalia affairs in Kenya said the faction leaders, among them ministers in the fractured government, had agreed to negotiations after a recent meeting in bullet-riddled capital Mogadishu that discussed ways of ending division in Somalia. "We agreed to engage in a direct negotiations process with our counterparts in Jowhar," Ahmed quoted a statement issued by the Mogadishu faction on Wednesday. "We urge our neighbor countries to play a positive and neutral role in bringing together the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) to restore the Somali government," the statement added. Ahmed said the rival faction leaders fully accepted a proposal submitted by former military senior colonel, Barre Adan Shire (Hirale) who controls much of Somalia's fertile land including the third largest city Kismayo. Sources said the meeting was unanimous and was chaired by Parliamentary Speaker Sheriff Hassan Sheikh Adan. "It was a unanimous decision to engage our colleagues in Jowharand hold a face-to-face meeting without preconditions," a source who attended the meeting said. He said that the face-to-face meeting would be held in Somalia,a demand the Jowhar-based group, headed by President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Muhammad Gedi, had insisted on. The Mogadishu group dropped their demand that the meeting be held outside Somalia under international mediation. "We only ask that the international community to be present as observers to witness any agreement," he said. Members of the fledgling government based in Jowhar, 90 km north of Mogadishu, reportedly welcomed the new development as a "step in the right direction." "We have been calling for direct talks without preconditions for a long time. Now that our brothers in Mogadishu agree, we welcome it with open arms," Somali Information Minister Muhammad Abdi Hayir reportedly said. The Horn of Africa nation has been deeply divided over where the seat of government should be in their country after their relocation from Nairobi in June this year. President Yusuf, Prime Minister Gedi and their supporters maintain that Mogadishu must be secured before they can transfer the government to the city. The other group led by Speaker Adan insist that the government must be based at the capital Mogadishu. There have been several attempts by the international community,including the UN, to broker an agreement between the two groups. Two months ago, Francis Lonseny Fall, special envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Somalia, presented an "agenda for dialogue" to the interim leaders. The new government, formed at peace talks in Kenya in 2004, is Somalia's 14th attempt to reinstate central government since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. Enditem

I wasnt overtly surprised when I had heard the great Sheikh was arrested, but I was surprised when I heard the rumours as to why he was arrested. The Sheikh has always been a very visible, public face and in a heightened situation as in the United States, one should not be surprised at scrutiny of his private life. For the federal government to arrest him on charges relating to his immigration status is pure baloney when the Sheikh is perfectly legal to live here. He has a green card for crying out loud! In fact, the widespread rumour circulating around is the Sheikh was arrested at the behest of our own Somalis! They accused the Sheikh of taking money allocated to build a large mosque in Seattle. The people that have accused the Sheikh have originally donated to the Mosque-building efforts, but have rescinded their support when the immediate building of the mosque didn't materialize. They have now accused the good Sheikh of stealing their money and possibly funneling it overseas. This is a sad development in our community when the highest, most respected member of our community is levelled with such an attack against his reputation and credibilty as well as his physical and sense of being. Inshallah I will try to keep you updated on the situation.
