How come most of the replies here are way too damn negative or too positive. What happened to meel dhexdexaad? Chimera: You managed to throw Somalis under the bus to get your point across. Well done mate. I am being sarcastic dee. Wax iskula har. I agree with Taleexi. The discussion shouldn't be about idil or personalities. It's pointless to argue about someone's fame, success or the kind of lifestyle they lead. What matters, I think to some of us is the diinta angle of the discussion. Without condemning individuals, girl friend/boyfriend relationships are alien to our diin and culture. I know I am stating the obvious here but I think the talent and the success highlighted in the story blurred this piece of information from some of us. The little I know about Somalida, they're conservative community so whatever success, fame or rank, they remain secondary to diinta.

Do as I say not as I do doesn't work in our deen. "Attack the message, not the messenger" is a foreign concept to our deen. No such thing. What matters the most is you first. You gotta get your self inline with the deen, before you embark a journey of telling others what's right/wrong. Learn the deen, apply to your own self, then you can go about teaching others.

^Inajaad, you're good at what you do, troll. I take you as serious as that giraffe in your avator. Taleex: I suggest you run the same search on his girl friend as well if you're gonna take the debate to that direction, unless you personally know her faith or read about it. A name doesn't attribute one to certain religious belief. We too have a character named Axmed right here on this page, that gets internet playboy subscription, and drops few hadiths all at the same time.

^A playboy subscriber issuing a religious decree? What's this world coming to? Idil assay miyey xidhan marka?

Zack: The two guys found this file by accident and no one knew Apple was tracking user location, keeping a history of it and syncing it to your computer. I agree many apps collect location services but those can be enabled/disabled anytime. However, this log is sitting on your iDevice and transferred to the computer by iTunes. Still, no one has access to the data unless they physically get hold of your iphone/computer. Soo daawo mar dhow Apple doing a damage control campaign. Here's the video.

You may not know where you’re going in life, but you always know where you’ve been—and so does your iPhone. According to a story in The Guardian on Wednesday, the iPhone (and the 3G-enabled iPad) keeps a running log of its location and copies that information to your home computer whenever you connect to it. As such, the information—complete with latitude, longitude, and timestamps—can be easily reconstructed to show a person’s movements. Read more

^Not so soon kid. I don't think there is anything like 'daami village' in Puntland. Before you think of fixing others, why don't you fix your backyard. Then you might sound a bit credible. If it gives you a heart attack, PL will exist and exist it will. Remember PL is not running away coz they belong to the queen orphanages. They're proud citizens of Somaliweyn.

For an orphan of the Queen, you sure cry too much about PL. Do you have nightmares about Afweyne [AUN] at night? Do you hear voices of Abdulaahi Yusuf or piss on your pants?

Just some rogue politicians trying to score a goal against current PL admin. There are way to many ways of getting even with Faroole than declaring a state within a state. I hardly doubt if their own constituent want to heed that direction.

All Somali xawaaladu including Dhiigshiil charge not by percentage or amount wired but by the boqol which I never understood. If you were to wire hal xaawo taako y0u'd pay 5, labo xaawo taako waa tomon, sadexna waa 15. Say shan boqol ama labo kun, waxaad ka hadleysaa boqol ama ka badan. For every boqol shanaa ku daree for the most part, unless aad heshid discount but still no less than 4 or 3 dollar for every boqol. Western Union will win the heart of people wiring 300 or more. If you wire 100, 500 or 5 kun, you will still pay the same fee, 15 dollars. Here's where western union takes advantage of the market and their quicker service is attractive. The receiving party doesn't have to wait the next day to collect their money. Usually it is minutes not even hours. But still Dhiigshiil and others still keep the market since majority of the people mostly send less than 300. However, this is a big loss for all Somali xawaalado, not just Dahabshiil and the local business. If they smell success in the north, they'll bring it to every possible town. Since the country lacks strong government with effective regulatory policies, this market should remain monopoly to local Somali business who serve as the backbone of the local economy and people. No to big transcontinental companies.

They should all be dissolved. These politicians and their Ethiopian masters failed the country far too long. Time for a new face/change. Let Odhinga/Azania take over the country. Change you can Kenyati in. Kenyan troops already setting up bases in Taabto. Viva Azzaaniyah.

In a first for U.S. anti-piracy efforts, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents ventured into Somalia to arrest the man who allegedly oversaw ransom negotiations for four Americans held hostage and later killed by pirates. Mohammad Shibin, 50 years old, was captured in a joint operation, led by the FBI and coordinated with Somali authorities. U.S. agents had never before apprehended an alleged pirate on land, though it has prosecuted a number of Somali pirates caught attacking U.S. ships in the Arabian Sea. To date, counter-piracy efforts had been waged almost exclusively in millions of square miles of ocean off the Horn of Africa. Andrew Shapiro, the State Department's point man on piracy, said last month the U.S. was preparing a "more energetic and comprehensive" approach to piracy, with a special focus on "pirate leaders and financiers" onshore. Mr. Shibin was captured in early April and brought to the U.S. last week. He had been indicted in early March and charged with three counts, including piracy and conspiracy to commit kidnapping, charges which could carry a life sentence if he is found guilty. Mr. Shibin appeared Wednesday for the first time in U.S. district court in Norfolk, Va., where the indictment was unsealed. "The arrest of Mohammad Shibin is a significant breakthrough in the United States' battle against Somali pirates," said Neil MacBride, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia."We hope this indictment will strike at the heart of the piracy business and send a strong message to all pirates, whether they board the ships or remain on shore in Somalia." On Feb. 18, four U.S. sailors crossing the Arabian Sea on their 58-foot yacht, the Quest, were hijacked by more than a dozen Somali pirates. According to the indictment, while the American sailors were kept below deck by their captors, Mr. Shabin, on shore in Somalia, researched them over the Internet "to determine the amount of ransom to demand." The next day, just before a U.S. Navy SEAL assault team boarded the Quest, the American sailors—Scott and Jean Adam, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle—were shot and killed by the pirates. The deadly episode was a turning point in piracy in the region; killings had been very rare, since crews and ships can bring millions of dollars in ransoms. Mr. Shibin told FBI agents after his arrest that he had also been lead ransom negotiator after last May's taking of the chemical tanker M/V Marida Marguerite, according to court documents. That tanker was released seven months later, earning Mr. Shabin $30,000 for his negotiating role, according to court documents. The FBI operation inside Somalia was possible because of a pair of U.N. Security Council resolutions in 2008 that authorized nations to take "all necessary and appropriate measures" to combat piracy in Somalia. Mr. Shibin's capture came shortly after Mr. Shapiro, assistant secretary in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs at the State Department, sketched out the Obama administration's revised plan to counter piracy in the region by taking steps to make the high-reward, low-risk business more risky for pirates. "Most importantly we must focus on pirate leaders and financiers to deny them the means to benefit from ransom proceeds," he said in a speech in late March.

LOL@Che. Waa kee adeerkaas? We have been under modern gumeysi since the collapse of the Barre regime. Mar carabaha/dariska marna garuumta caalamka midoobay. The move by Shariif shows the sad state of our affairs.

It's a beautiful thing. It'll be on the highway/road signs all over the country soon so you people the sooner you stop complaining and start embracing it, the better. Try this song.

Isn't or wasn't Ethiopia where all of them get their orders from? Yusuf, Geedi, Nur Cadde, Sharif, Sharmarke, Farmaajo, Riyaale, Siilaanyo, Cadde Muuse, Faroole. All these and many more have been and still are the Ethiopian lapdogs so no one has crediability to discredit another.
