Former Somali Servicemen and Civilians Volunteer for Duty - 1978 lmao @ 00:35 "wiilka u sacbiya"

*admins delete* double post

There's a thread naming the leaders in this photo: http://www.somaliaonline.com/community/showthread.php/72450-Can-you-name-who-these-leaders-are?p=970375#post970375 The guy to the right of Siyad Bare (AUN) is Gaafar Nimeiry.

I wonder if these buildings can withstand an earthquake? If not, what a disaster waiting to happen.

Reminds me of an episode on Family Guy when Peter declared his own Republic of Petoria.

USA: 120,840 <--- I'm sure the Somali community in the United States is greater than that.

I see Yasser Arafat, our very own Siyad Bare, Hussein bin Talal (left of Siyad Bare), Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saddam Hussein, Gaafar Nimeiry (beside Siyad Bare to the right), and I'm guessing the fellow in the far upper left corner is Hafez al-Assad

I appreciate Turkey assisting Somalia but what rubs me the wrong way is the use of the Turkish language in every little Turkish project. The Somali language should be place before any language in OUR country. Someone needs to voice this.

My qabiil vs your qabiil should be placed in this list

In my opinion and millions others the union was killed dragged on the streets of Burco and eventually killed and buried on 18 may in 1991. Its just a dark day for Somalilanders that doesn't make me sad lol. I am still happy for Somalia when they got their dignity and independence back from Italy. So i am very happy for Somalia. But you are welcome to delude your self that there is a union:D ka qasi mayo i xaflade This is history re-writing itself once again just in a different part of the world. We know this story very well. The confederates (in this case Somaliland) wanted to break away from union with the North (in this case the rest of Somalia to the south) but unionists weren't having any of that secession mambo jambo and as we know it succeeded and continued with the union and is now one of the greatest nations in the world. And you wonder why I'm a unionist . The union always prevails! If America and the powers that be defines Somaliland as a breakaway nation, best believe the rest of the world would accept and follow but since it chooses not to see you as one, y'all cease to exist.

You have every reason to celebrate considering your people made the effort to consider unity over sovereignty in 1960 .

Which is a good thing to celebrate for the people of Somalia. Lets accept the facts here. I neither see your fairy tale of a sovereign state on the map nor have the backing of any nation so therefore the great ole union does exist. You're more than welcome to see it as a dark day...your loss..but i'd recommended for your health and sanity to let it out and celebrate. We are one after all . AND QUIT RAINING DOWN ON OUR PARADE.

Alpha quit raining down on our parade with your crummy flag. Let us blue and white supporters cherish this day without seeing that Mexican themed flag of yours.

If it weren't for the shahadah you guys clearly show little respect for, I'd run a river dance all over it.

So true. Funny how this can be taken into consideration today.

EPIC MUSIC, ENTRANCE & FLAUNTING OF CULTURE

And score one point for Saada Cali for being a great business woman. Money talks y'all. Why the shock? Somaliland waa dhul Soomaaliyeed afterall and she's pro-Soomaali from what I gathered .

This is by far the most coolest thing I have yet to read in a while. Keep them coming.

Providing sources would be greatly appreciated

Thankfully my mother bought spaces, one of which is under construction. I wonder how much she'd rent those out for lol. I'm afraid to ask.

It throws me off when I read yiri as yidhi.

LOL talk about sympathy seeking.
