Tolstoy, as I've already said the baiting strategy only works with those afflicted with low self-esteem. The hell holes I hail from are a most wonderful source of pride and comformt to me, if you want to know why, just ask and I will arrange a visit for you with my local travel agency. You just have but to ask. Anyways I find it rather telling that you have completely side-step the origin of the topics started for us by non other then one of the more prominent news sources from your folk! Why is that? Or is it even incumbent upon us to ask..? Bishaaro with the display of electrifying tantrums and childish antics, I'm afraid our local fairy-tale writer will get a stoke before anything else.

An ELEGY FOR YUMYUM By Mohamud Togane I weep for Adonais—he is dead! O, weep for Adonais! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! —Shelley 1 O, death, may your name perish! Though we are all bound Deathward Godward Homeward Death Our inevitable host Noseless one Death Is Yum Yum really no more with us In the light of the living Is Yum Yum The genius that wore the mantle That covers the shame of us naked Somalis Really laid low down In the grave I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! 11 Dear dusty grave Ages ago, The Sayyid And now This morning Dumb with grief Gone gaga with grief Am I giving sorrow sword words Over the grave Where my friend, Yum Yum lies I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! 111 O, history! How you hijack whore and hajji and hakim How you never grow up How you never come of age How you never age How you never act your age How you always rage How you always hog the stage Did you finally overthrow Your Yum Yum who girded up his loin cloth To trace your blood soaked Somali steps How did our Galol tree Yum Yum Deserve to disappear without a trace I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! IV O, Gob tree! People pick up your scattered berries But pray tell me How does one get over How does one sleep How does one pick the brain of Yum Yum When death has just bashed in The teeming brain of Yum Yum Who had yet to glean so much more >From our Somali years of yore >From our Somali years of lore I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! V O, thankless Muses! Where is Yum Yum The wit that loved you so Your right hand man Your factotum Your gofer Your must-go-to man Whom Death has just removed to the hereafter In your daze In your amaze Dress anyhow Wear your epaulets of aghast grief Sing your despair & dejection In mighty ululating long lofty lines of alliteration Standing hair on end everywhere Amidst goose pimples And to this death-tolling knell of mine Beat your drums At every town square At every sheltering tree For Yum Yum is no more And shall never return I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! VI O, pen! Seize up Freeze Thaw no more Flow no more Scour Scratch Range over the alphabet Enter into your annals' archives Lamenting lays Acquainting Muslims & Monkey infidels With your tears For Yum Yum is no more And shall never return I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! VII O, wisdom weep! Wise up Rise up Bite your nether lip Wake up the Muses with your wailing Lament O, you literate ones Who labor in ordered word orchards O, you purveyors of our Somali folk culture To alien tongues Let the word go forth Let the world know of our severed orphaned Somali tongue Let the world wear sackcloth & ashes For Yum Yum is no more And shall never return I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! VIII O, Gob tree! People pick up your scattered berries But pray tell me How does one get over How does one sleep How does one pick the brain of Yum Yum When death has just bashed in The teeming brain of Yum Yum Who had yet to glean so much more >From our Somali years of yore >From our Somali years of lore I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! IX O, Yum Yum! Master of Urania! The ewe constellation lost luster and drooped The moon sloped and sank Into the swallowing sea Into the valley of the shadow of death When death had halted to hijack you to the hereafter I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! X O, you sounding sighing sea! Suspire for Yum Yum's soothing songs O, you crawling clamor-fingered breakers Break Rage & roil Rock & roll on Deep dark black teal blue ocean Upon your shingled shores For your Sheikh Yum Yum has just quit your shores for sure Convulse & swing you mighty swells O, you teeter-tottering towering torrents O, you seesawing waves Hop on your wild white horses Let loose your rock-splitting surf Split spit splutter Splash your spume & spoondrift Way out of your confines For Yum Yum is no more And shall never return I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! XII O, grave! O, you worms of the grave! O, you termites of the tomb! If you dare boast a conscience Or a hero amongst you Grant Yum Yum This Somali bard This Somali pard Peace From your roaring razor wrath From your licking chops From your grinding grinders For you have been feasting For hundreds of soggy seasons On corpses And can't be hungry now For this honored guest of yours For this Yum Yum For this peerless immortal Somali swain of the Muses Whose brain teemed With ancient Somali lore With the wisdom of Punt's yore O, grave! I commend to you now His shrouded body That lies now In an untimely sleep In your dread death abode In your death bed O, you worms of the grave! O, you termites of the tomb! Grant him peace For Yum Yum’s last burning gasp His last rasping breath His last death rattle prostrated him And needs now Neither your gnawing Nor your nudging nuzzle I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! XIII As for me & my house We will sing abroad In a rue of runes Our grievous loss & lamentation To all those who girded up To defy Death & Degradation To defeat Despair & Darkness To denounce Disgrace & Dishonesty In this Somali slaughter house In this sad Somalia In this mad Somalia In this suicidal Somalia. In this Kipling’s Somalia Of the “lesser breeds without the law Half devil Half child†I weep for Yum Yum—he is dead! O, weep for Yum Yum! though our tears Thaw not the frost that binds so dear a head! XIII O, Allah! Now Upon Yum Yum’s soul Mercy we all beseech Upon Yum Yum’s spirit Peace we all pray Amen! Amiin! Reader! Now you say The last amen The last amiin. —Mahamud Siad Togane Nota Bene The above elegy is Yum Yum’s own Baroor Diiq, Yum Yum's own elegiac gift upon the death of Hajji Musa Galaal, Englished by Togane who feels now that the best way to mourn the untimely death of Yum Yum is to reprise his own Baroor Diiq in this here English rendition.

Ina Sheekh Abukar has done well walle! We need more success stories like this emerging from the capital.

HornAfrik, keep BooliQaran a secret would ya. What is Booli Qaran?

^Belo! Seems like you have more knowledge about that then I.

What you said about the diin and the consequence of forgetting to practice is true, but it was grossly misrepresented and out of context in your earlier post. Almiino dheh Soomaal idil oo dhan bay ka daxeeso masiibada na haysto, laakiin qaybsikaas daacad kuma dhisnayn. But, atleast you realized the wrong, right?

^I think that was a statement, and yes sxb, daacad bay iga tahay.

No, disrespect, taasu ma diidani, however, the nomadess is product of the West and only knows of Garbaherey. Meel ay taqaan aan uga bilaabay, xamar could be way taqaan, who doesn't?

^^ Haye! Abyen if you put your finger on Garbaherey on a map, and you travel your finger over the map going straight north, passing the Ethiopian administered part of the Somali lands, enter the border of Somalia and Ethiopia travling northeast, your finger will eventually meet the dot labeled "Hargeisa".

Are you sincere this time..

There is no other way than to divide the country in those 5 states plus a neutral Banadir State oo ummadda uu dhexeeya. Opinion. Sxb there are million and one ways to divide the country into regional states, so that is the only plausible way you and adeerkiis see it as dheh. I think the issue of naming autonomous states would, in any other established stociety, be a constitutional conundrum. Who has the power to name states? Can the choice be vetoed? Who wields the vetoing power; the federal government, the constituencies, or both? If vetoed, where do you go on from there? Can the federal state overide the consitutencies or vice versa? Where should the limits of the state boundaries be (knowing that even the administrative regions left to us by Siyaad Barre are just lines on a map)? What about clans and sub-clans divided among state lines? Can a referendum approving a state be called? Who has the power to oversee it? There are a million and one questions that this issue brings up and frankly, I believe the power to name states should lie with the masses theirselves, as in the cases of Somaliland and Puntland, instead of the federal government. I think that is only fair, don't you think?

They have to understand that tragedy as a lesson of their (nabi-caay, iyo diin waxka sheegid), and continue by doing more repentance for Allah, sw. :confused: Walaal Alaah waad u baahantahaye, bal istaqfuralah ku daji intaa dambiga laguu qorin. Somali is dishaye, is wada laayeene, diin waxaysan ku saabsaneen haku qaldin.
