Redsea, brother there is no bad feelings towards you on my part. That been said, I am still having difficulties with the idea that Al-shabaab will sit with either entities be PL or SL. Maybe it is something that you would like to see, but the reality on the ground tells otherwise. Dhinaca Al-shabaab, PL iyo SL waxba ugama duwana warlords Xamar iyo foonfurta kale joogey. 2daba waxay u arkaan entities cadow Somaali maamulo. Diplomacy aad ka hadlayso waa wishful thinking un dee. Let us say way wada fariisteen(Al-shabaab iyo PL or SL) Al-shabaab waxay rabaan inay 2da la wareegaan oo sharci lagu maamulo, 2da maamuul dantooda haddey eegeen, arrinkaasi waa diideen. Ma umalaynaysaa Al-shabaab inuu leeyihin waa tahay mar kalaan isku imaan? Abti runtu waxay tahay, Al-shabaab qori caaraddii bay doonaayaan inay dhulka Soomaaliya oo dhan ku tagaan. Jamhuuriyaddii iyo kuwa Ethio ku hoos jira. Wixii hor istaagana be it PL, SL, ONLF, other Somali religious sects way la dagaalamayaan. That is my believe, but we will wait and see where things go from here.

Ma in runta lagu weydiiya dagaalka keenay? Ma anaa ku caayay walaalow maxaa ii caynaysaa? See how many contradictions you have in last couple of posts. You said Al-shabaab's policy waa inay dhulka Soomaliya oo dhan ah gaarsiiyaan. Kuwana xoog ayaa lagu gaarsiin kuwana maslaxo. Ok, then SL way dagaalmaysaa haddii koonfur looga yimaado, haddana waxaa waa inay Al-shabaab hearts and minds dadka SL heshaa, hadda waxaad raacsiisay Sl meelbay ku wada dhimanaayaan. Then again PL is part and parcel of Somalia, but Somaliland is not.. War ninyahow haddii ay tahay sheekadaadu wishful thinking waa meesheeda, laakiin Al-shabaab iyo diplomacy don't go hand in hand. So does your stand, if there is anything that needs a baby sitting, it is certainly those 2 opposite ideologies that you so firmly hold.

^ Is that a wishful thinking on your part? Fight in the south by the Al-shabaab is ok in your books, and any peace efforts is out of the door. But when it comes to SL and Al-shabaab, they should sit down together and make some sort of transition of power(of course peacefully)..em what a logic.

Generalization at its best eh... Afro what's up with the new Avatar? You shoo she aint underage?

Xiin, in 1980s eh? mmm if you were walking around wearin buma and no shirt then it wont surprise me, laakiin haddii laguu soo kaxeysan jirey kaalay ciyaalka waa weyn naga celi. Sheeko weyn waaye taas, walaalkay lee raadsanaa markaas. FB Only in Xamar would you hear about ciyaal xaafad. In other places(gobollada) reer is the correct word. Ciyaalka xaafada noo daa pap. Baashe, my big brother graduated from Sakhawadiin Sec School, back in 1985. He was big time basketball player for the school as well as local team.

This is really crazy and I don't know what will it mean for the image that the Democrats are trying to portray..?

^^ciyaal baliil aa ilowdey! ooh qooleey was something walhi. Sxb Terabuunka wali banooni ma u imaadtay?

Xiin, ciyaal banooni ma ahayd horta? Inaa miijiska soo dhaafi jirtay iyo in kale ha la arkee..lol

Keep your rejections to yourselves guys(to those that are crying fault on Xamar caddeey) Open a thread about Hargeisa or Garisa or wherever else that be and see if we give a rat about it .. We all know there is NO Somali city that can even come closer to Xamar in its glorious days, let alone compare. MMA, yeah iskuul farsamada was in lambar afar, but I don't think it was new though. Baaskiilyaasha iyo moto sheelaro aa lagu ijaari jirey. Heard of guy called "Gurey"? As for the lifts, if am not mistaking isbitaal Digfeer and Bangiga dhexe also had lifts..

Xiinow, the committee that Adde appointed was rejected by most if not all of the other candidates. And ironically, Abdullahi stood by adde and supported him on this. On the other hand what the candidates are suggesting is not viable as well, each one of them want to have a representative in the committee. Now it's in the hands on the Issims and I am hoping they will come up a reasonable committee.. Waryaa getting off work now ee Ciid mubaarak, mar kalaan sii wadaynaa..

^ We will wait and see how things go ya Xiin. Duke, boowe reer bari waxay dhahaan " aa latahay" You are in deep denial brother.

Where is AT&T these days tolow?

Xiinow, reer Xamar way dhahaan "qori iyo khiiciis waa la isla tuuraa" my question now is, will reer Punland wise up and throw these 2 old men all together or they will stick around with them? I am still very optimistic about the coming election in Puntland, and I am hoping some new faces and politics will emerge from that part of the country.

Xiinow, I agree with you 100%. My point though was about the false notion that Cadde will mediate Yey and Nur. We all know reason why Adde is running around and it's ina Yey who has a remote control on him now. Starting from that press conference in Garowe where he denounced the Djabouti meeting as bogus, then flying with Yey to Djabouti next day and this one now..It's AY who is into something and Adde is just following him everywhere. I know this may offend some forks here, but sadly that is the truth.

Xiinow, I don't think he has the capacity to maneuver anything. He is been called in Addis as usual and once he is back in Puntland, he will lay it all that he's been told out in the open in 1st interview. Just watch it out.

Lol@Adde to mediate.. Ya duke cadde waa weel maran camu.

And they do follow not spiritually though or maybe that too

Pujah, private schools do enroll children with out vaccine shots. And yes most of school boards through out the country require children to have shots,but there are a lot of loopholes in the system and if you know your way around, you can get your kids enroll in school. As far as the catching the polio, measles, or any other disease go, ironically cases of polio that have been reported in the US, are caused by the polio vaccine itself. Measles or rubella are curable and there is no wide outbreak of these diseases in the US either. Autism on the other hand is something that you kid has to live with for the rest of their lives. Don't fall for the fear factor of big pharmaceutical and CDC.

Afro, mushakal sheeko weyn waaye

Well, a lot of people share the same sentiments with the author and some of his advices are really good. But, in my humble opinion I think there are way too many risks with all of these vaccinations,considering this ration of 1 in every 28 Somali born child getting autism, I would rather not give any vaccine to my kids at all. It is not mandatory in most States, but there are some states that have policies which demands the parents to have basis on their rejection. Either religious or medical, remember that you always have the legal rights to refused what you may think is not the best interest for your child. All we as parents need is to know our rights and also research/read about autism. As for 36 vaccines, what can I say, they add more and more vaccines every year. This year alone, they added the flu vaccines for babies and HPV for girls at 11 yrs old. God helps...

lol@mushakal.... Cabitaan miyaa oo isku jir ah? lol

I remember in middle school days where we used 2 have Thursday's soccer/football matches, and we used to beat shty out of Banadir h/dhese I remember school kadis and I was member of my school Kadis team (I had my 15 mins fame on National TV and radio Mog. forks) little bragging there..lol I remember how as ciyaalka xaafad, we used to go to other xaafad for football"sharad" and how we got our *** beaten by other ciyaal xaafad after winning the match. I remember how we used to sneak out of the house on Friday afternoons and go to iskoolo bolisiya beach or secundo liido(by Al-aruba hotel) or sometimes to Jazeera/ or abayo dhaxan beaches. I remember going to Savoy Center with other kids just to have a ride on the elevator and been chased out by the guards..or going to school farsamada hoostiisa to rent bikes. How about the ciyaaraha Gobollada in stadium Mogadishu mmm and we used cheer for Marka(sh/hoose,) I don't even know any reason why our family members used to like that team n not Banaadir. And after school year closes, we( family) used to go to leego for weeks sometimes month or so. I cant really finished all the good old days here.

PS I now see why LST chose MMA as speaker. [big Grin] So, there is 4.5 system in here as well eh?

Xiin beesaani aa tahay sheekhunaa
