Qadafi was threatening them as well.

Polanyi, are these random threads you post every now and then, kinda secret messages for bladland boyz? Mise muriidi baad badashay?

Allah ha u naxariisto Kinsi. She was one my fav Somali artist. "Xareeda laguma wacnaado"..Yaa salaam

this is an open goal for that London2010 kiddo, time for him to lash his venom.. 1,2,3..go

Che, never heard of the D-block and any Hashimis claims, I thought the old hunk was from Yemen! All in all, Somalis issue and conflicts are not based on these claims, but rather access to resource, power, and politics.

Che, one of my classmate back in Punjab would claim to be direct descendant of the PPUH. He looked more like Tenkuldar than Ali Baba, but why deny his claims, knowing the Arab influence and rule in that part of the world. Muhamad bin Qasim and his conquest in Indian continent, taught in college level in Pakistani study, comes to mind. And Sufi Ghazzi and what not..

^ I dont know where you getting with the descendents of the Prophet thing? Not all Arab are Hashims, you know lol @ real.. If like Southerners are distinctive tribe South may have more ties to Arab heritage than to the North, at least in mid-modern history of Somalis.

AS wasiiray ku dilleen Hotel-ka amnigiisa dowladu haysto, qaarna sariirtootay ugu tageen. Waxaad ka hadlaysaan bagar afgooye bus ka soo raacday. Unless she worked/was working for the TFI, AS has nothing on her. Illah ha ka bad baadiyo.

NG, dee intaa yaa ka dhaadhicin our later day liberal saints of SOL Che, no pun intended bhyi!

^Abdirahman Jabarti ma awowgaabaa? Dee qofkii dan ka leh inuu siyaarto, ha raadsado War dadka qabuurahooda iyo Awliyadooda u daa.

^What do they said about the Sheikhs ya NG? Waar dee soo gal murankan, mise kuwa Sheikha wax ku darsada ma ku jirtid? lol

Haddii u mid Khan bashtu ah ama Somali ahaan lahaa, the Arab kid would have his eyes blackened. Maskiin Bangali ama Maharsht uu iska helay.

Good stuff.

Che, Somalis are Africans and have close cultural and linguistic ties with their Oroma cousins and Afars. Did 2 men fathered millions of Somalis, probably not. Could Somalis have some blood ties to Arab Sheikh or settlers, likely. To prove the validity of Somalis direct lineages to PPUH or any specific Sheikh, needs some extensive research that is not here or there. But why bother all that,when it's the least of our today's problems. Let the people believe what they want to, and educate them for their individual betterment. Somali, it goes both ways isn't? Since there is no any written scripts to prove who came from where or how millions have evolved, people will have beliefs that satisfy them. Same thing can be said about this clan structure we know of today, no? As for your other questions, I think yes there are Somali people who claim to be of European origins and of none Somali Africans, Tanzanian or what not. In my humble opinion, i think visiting shrines or one claiming of being Norwegian, is the least of things we should focus or pay attention to!

Almost all of Farmajo's men are missing from this list. Gaas is certainly distancing himself from his predecessor and the 2 Sharifs as well. Good luck to them.

Che, Arab sheikhs did come to almost all the known Muslim world of today, no? Also, those Arabs who came intermarried locals. From Malaysia to Indian subcontinent, and all the Muslim Africa, there are people who claimed Arab ancestry or trace they lineages to specific Arab Sheikh. And Somalis claim is no accident. What if the this "gene mapping" you have talked about takes the Somalis back to Arabia? Then what? Since there is no historical evidence out there that can refute these claims, then let them pay their due visit to their tomb of choice.

It seems that Sakin's men instigated the provocations later turned it to violence, and killed the head of the presidential security team. On the bigger picture though, one of the blockheads need to concede and let the PM appoint his cabinet.

Kudos to Abdinasir and the other organizers as well!

OdaySomali, when are you going to post the pics? Your thread is still empty and waiting!!

^Correction, the name is Xarfo lool.. Beautiful pictures, well done Garowe indeed. Bit of more plants/trees, pave the roads, and it will look even better.

Ramadan is coming and there is no better time than this month to give Sadaqah. At least that should motivate us a little, no? Most Somali businesses in my area have donation boxes for the drought put there, don't know if that alone is enough, but at least it's a good start. Also, we as Somalis regardless of our political views, should appeal to TFG as well as AS to halt their ongoing wars for at least couple months until the situation gets better.

Can't remember last time I rode a bus!!

What's with all the negativity coming from certain folks? lol Relax reer gooni isku taag, these are just lectures. Mise midkastoo hadlaa waa "kacaankii"
