Cara...where does she fit in your list of problems/feelings.

It stinks Kevin Livingston wasn't there to accept the olympic flag.

^Please don't.You are digressing here-we are not arguing for/against the authenticity of Biblical verses. I'm just saying religion in general don't condone these actions.

^I'm not communist nor do I promote Marxist ideology. I just don't think it's lack of religion that cause people to commit crimes. Unknown...The bible might be corrupted but I'm pretty it doesn't condone mass rape and mutilation.

I saw Duke and Juje arguing over who won the showdown in Addis Ababa. What seems to be lost on them is while Somalis are dying everyday, those charged with 'leading' the nation are having meaningless squabbles over nothing and what's worse they are being mediatated by foriegn entity whose interests don't align with Somali public. The same squabbles and blunders are common in Maxaakiimta and other entities who supposedly lead and represent the Somali. Does it really matter who you support anymore as none of them seem to deliver any useful outcomes that could benefit your clan, your region or your country in general. It's time to think outside the box and find new directions.

Religion is not the answer to everything. I'm sure they have their own faith that condems these actions yet it didn't stop from commiting these henious crimes.

Who needs Islam?

The Use Of Rape As A Weapon In Congo's Civil War Dr. Denis Mukwege is the director of Panzi Hospital in eastern Congo. In this war against women, his hospital is the frontline. One of the latest victims he’s treating is Sifa M'Kitambala. She was raped just two days before the team arrived by soldiers who raided her village. "They just cut her at many places," Dr. Mukwege explains. Sifa was pregnant, but that didn't stop her rapists. Armed with a machete, they even cut at her genitals. And not all the people the hospital treats are adults. "There are children. I think the youngest was three years old," Mukwege says. "And the oldest was 75." 60 Minutes

Dabshid..Adiga iyo Pucca waa idilayaabe. Waa soo indha cadihiin. Just try but I guarantee Aaliyah's dear mom would intervene. It's like when you go to your newlywed friend's home for Qado, being modern day Faraax yoou would try to pick the dishes after the meal, but he or the wifey intervenes and you quietly sit down. Just say yes to Aaliyah says but it will be different story when you get there.

^Aaliyah makhaayad miyaa. This isn't the salvation army people? Dabshid..Atleast do the dishes.

^LooooooooooooL@Pucca..Now you are thinking like me laakin marti amar bixineesa ha noqon. Be nice to Aaliyah. Adna Aaliyah ajarbaa kaa soo gaaraaya hadaad Pucca afurisid.

Pucca...Amaa jikada soogal lagu dhahaa

LoooooooL@Geelijire...This is the time that I reacquaint with my relatives. I usually do afur at work with just water. Faheema....You could just add minced onions with spices to the tune, sip some lemon juice into it, roll it up and flour it. Then simply put it in the frying pan. Eat with basbaas (Somali)-it's better than sambuus.

^I was talking about grilled fruits caramelized with brown sugar and taken with qaxwo qaraar. Bajiye is grounded brown beans with onions and peppers which is then fried. Have ever made Sambuus with tuna instead of the usual hilib?

^No fruits or qaxwo/shaax? And bajiye?

Somalia: Ethiopia fed up with Somali leaders Mogadishu, August 22--(Somali Press Review) Ethiopia was mistaken to think its army had the ability to endow Somalia with wise leaders. In an interview with the Financial Times, the Ethiopian foreign minister Seyoum Mesfin criticized Somalia’s top leaders—president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and prime minister Nur Hassan Hussein—for preferring infighting to nation building. Mesfin’s frustration has to do with Ethiopia’s inability to break the political impasse within the Somalia Transitional Federal Government. Both the president and the prime minister are promoting political agendas that benefit Ethiopia in the long term. Ethiopia cannot choose between the two benefits. The Somali prime minister’s peace overtures to the Alliance for the Reliberation of Somalia (ARS) weakened Eritrea’s influence on the Somali opposition. The Somali president tacitly supports the reconciliation but candidly favours absorbing influential members of the now Djibouti based ARS into the government along clan lines. “The government and parliamentary seats were divided along the 4.5 formula,” he told reporters in Mogadishu few weeks ago in an apparent attempt to deny the opposition the opportunity to expediently play a nationalist card. Ethiopian Foreign Minister’s anger shows that Ethiopia is gradually admitting its forces were unwittingly dragged into Somalia’s messy civil war and that not enough thought was put into post-invasion period to formulate a quick pull-out on the one hand and prod the Somali government it backs to perform on the basis of reconciliation and institution-building benchmarks on the other. Many parts of southern Somalia are now under insurgents’ rule. As Ethiopia continues to count the death of its soldiers since the 2006 invasion to oust Somalia’s Islamic Union of Courts’ forces, one thing is clear, fractiousness in the Somali government and parliament will continue to weaken Somalia’s ‘federal institutions’ . © Somali Press Review 2008
