Nomads, note the language, U.S. gov. advocating for peace! religion (Islam)! Something is fishy ma'umaleysaa! Press Statement Richard Boucher, Spokesman Washington, DC March 3, 2005 Somalia: Restoration of Governance The United States values the leadership of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development and the African Union in establishing the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. The United States strongly supports the establishment of a functioning central government in Somalia capable of bringing the Somali people out of this long period of civil conflict and addressing the international community’s concerns regarding terrorism. The Transitional Federal Government is now at a crossroads . We urge the Transitional Federal Government to quickly address the challenging tasks of relocating to Somalia and beginning a gradual process of establishing effective governance. The Transitional Federal Government can only establish legitimacy within Somalia through a process of peace and reconciliation, not through force of arms . The Transitional Federal Government can only succeed with the full support of the Somali people through the establishment of national administration and provision of services to the Somali people. We hope the Transitional Federal Government will reach out to all Somalis, religious or secular in orientation , who disavow the use of violence. The United States shares the concerns of the international community and many Somalis regarding the introduction of foreign troops into Somalia. The African Union and Inter-Governmental Authority on Development would likely play an important role in a peace support mission for Somalia at the appropriate time. Such a mission, however, must be carefully evaluated and have the support of the Somali people. In order to support this process, all nations must honor the United Nations arms embargo for Somalia. Somalia’s neighbors have legitimate national interests that are best protected by the successful establishment of a stable and effective central government in Somalia; however, any external force should exclude troops from those countries. To include troops from neighboring countries at this time could pose an insurmountable obstacle to the Transitional Federal Government’s ability to gain the support and trust of the Somali people due to the perception within Somalia that some neighboring countries may be biased towards one or more elements of the Transitional Federal Government. We urge all Somalis involved in the creation of a new Somali government to focus on the needs of the Somali people while respecting the peace, governance and security that exists in areas not currently participating in the reconciliation process. We hope all Somali participants will continue their efforts towards the reestablishment of effective governance in Somalia through a sustained process of reconciliation and dialogue. It is in the interest of the international community to support the establishment of regional stability and the peaceful return of governance to Somalia. Source:U.S. State Dept.

What Famous Leader Are You? personality tests by similarminds.com This is good!

Originally posted by GarYaQaaN: But to tell you the truth China can be described as two countries. One is very modern, industrial, and could rival any developed country. The other is where 75% of China's people live—in the countryside where conditions are not far better than those of the poorest African countries. ^^This is what suprised me about China. One where poor and sometimes professional baggers chase foreigners almost a couple of blocks for pennies or to sell you something cheaply, and the other, where people drive nice cars and stay at huge luxuries hotels. The sad part is the poor people, mostly from the countryside, didn't even know they were poor until they arrived at the big cities and took notice of all the things they didn't have and couldn't afford. But if they stay at their own villages they could sustain confortable lives, I think. China also aids Sudan. There was large convey of Sudanesse studying Urban Planning in Beijing and they told me everything was paid for by the Chinesse government. Good for them! Garyaqaan...are u at BNU? although girls there didn't seem too familiar with black guys. They kept asking if I was good at basketball. I told them absolately, I'm MJ's cousin, it gave me celebrity status for few days . I would have liked to see somalis there, but didn't see any.

MJ is weird but innocent.

The U.S's State Department recently released their annual Human Rights report accusing China of Committing Numerous Rights Abuses. Well China is talking back! China tells US to 'reflect on erroneous behaviour' BEIJING, March 3: China on Thursday accused the United States of serious human rights violations and told Washington to clean up its own act before "wantonly trampling on the sovereignty of other countries". In its annual Human Rights Record of the United States, China hit out at the atrocity of US troops in Iraq and criticized the Bush administration for failing to deal with poverty, racial discrimination and crime at home. It was published just days after the US released its own annual human rights report, which accused China of muting dissent, suppressing religious rights and restricting freedom of speech. "Despite tons of problems in its own human rights, the United States continues to stick to its belligerent stance, wantonly trampling on the sovereignty of other countries," said the report, the sixth China has issued. "The United States should reflect on its erroneous behaviour on human rights and take its own human rights problems seriously instead of indulging itself in publishing the 'human rights country report' to censure other countries unreasonably." China suspended its human rights dialogue with the US a year ago in protest at Washington's decision to seek a resolution condemning Beijing's rights record at a UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva. But foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao indicated it was time to resume the talks. "The report is an alarm bell to alert the United States to its own problems," he said after its release. "The best way to improve this kind of situation is to sit down and have dialogue on an equal footing." The report, which widely cited media and aid group reports and official US statistics, focused on US abuse of Iraqi prisoners. "In 2004 the atrocity of US troops abusing Iraqi POWs exposed the dark side of human rights performance of the United States," it said, adding that the United States "frequently commits wanton slaughters during external invasions and military attacks." "A survey on Iraqi civilian deaths, based on the natural death rate before the war, estimates that the US-led invasion might have led to 100,000 more deaths in the country, with most victims being women and children." It also charged that the United States has been "hindering" the work of the United Nation's human rights mechanism. "And it either took no notice of or used delaying tactics on the requests of relevant UN agencies to visit its Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba." Domestically, Americans were "threatened by rampant violent crimes and severe infringement of civil rights by law enforcement departments". It highlighted the widely publicized case of Chinese citizen Zhao Yan who was handcuffed and beaten last year while in the United States on a business trip. 'DEMOCRACY FOR THE RICH': The report also lashed out at the US being a democracy "manipulated by the rich", saying four billion dollars was spent on the presidential election while "poverty, hunger and homelessness haunt the United States". China also bemoaned the fact that "racial discrimination has been deeply rooted in the United States, permeating into every aspect of society", saying coloured people were generally poorer than whites. "Racial prejudice is ubiquitous in judicial fields," it said. The situation of American women and children was also "disturbing". "The rates of women and children physically or sexually victimized were high," said the report. "No country should exclude itself from the international human rights development process, or view itself as the incarnation of human rights which can reign over other countries and give orders to the others," it said. "Even the United States shall be no exception." -AFP Here is the link Finally, eh

Baashi Couple of Somalis from my school are coming for this. I will tell them to look out for oday with macawiis and bakooro and get a pic when he is not looking. I will share it with the nomads...j/k. Anyway, they went to the Ohio one last year and it was a blast. By the way, what kind of gifts is your company bringing to the booth, anything neat? Good luck

Sup Nomads Originally posted by Phantasmagoria: Funny how the ones that you don't actually want end up rejecting you.... ^^You know why. Students put so much effort on the application process of schools they want, like the essays, recommendations, references,1st round applications, etc and making sure everything is on point. But, on schools we don't want it comes through on the essays and sometimes on interviews. Competitive schools see through students quickly! and any reluctance or passiveness, rejection is sure to follow. *Diamante* CAn I ask?...How is your gap year. Do you regret taking time off. Is it worth to take time off. I'm asking because I plan to take time off to get some experience. But I feel guilt! like I'm wasting time. Peace
