'Dalxiis' waaye nooh. Habeen hore ra'iisul wasaaraha daqiiqado isku dhaafnay. We were at this nice restaurant called Guryo Samo. We left at around 7:40pm and he arrived at around 8pm. We actually encountered his motorcade on the road. Here is a clip from that night.

I am safe, saaxiib. Mahadsanid. Xamar qof walba arrimihiisa ayuu ku mashquulsanyahay, property developent and building is booming, some even building modern apartment flats that hadn't been seen in the past. What I also liked about Xamar is how almost each building and house has exterior large bright fluorescent light bulbs. On some streets, it is so bright, brighter than even with street lights. Like last night on Jidka Taleex at 8:30pm, it was so bright from the lights installed on exteriors of businesses and houses. I guess this is what is called isxilqaamid. It is also relatively safe at night and some places come to alive after maqribka.

I was sitting on large beach-view terrace at Dolphin Hotel at xeebta Liido today, sipping cappuccino when I saw this same building under construction. It is located on a prime location. Here is the picture I took from Dolphin hotel's terrace: Alloow Xamar horumarkeeda u siyaadi.

Sadex qof ceebtooda la ilooway bulshoweynta Soomaaliyeed soo xasuusinaayo ceebtaas.

Afmaay waxaa lagu dhahaa maahmaah iyadoo ah: Lan alifsheey humaadi albakri miki toosaaw.

War kala leersada. This thread is locked.

Magacaan aan maqlo waa hore igu dambeysay. Maanta laakiin kuwa ka been badan ayaa wada joogo, koow ka yahay kan Aqalka Cad fadhiyo.

Xildhibaan Jeesoow si fiican ayuu u hadlay. Shariif Axmed hadduu rabo inuu sharaftii yareyd ay Soomaalida u heysay iska qaado, qabiileysina bilaabo, asagee u taalaa. Laakiin filinkaas horaa u soo aragnay. Xasan Sheekh awalba wax kale kama.sugeynin kaas.

What a coincidence on today's Standard newspaper I am reading right now has this very topic on page three. Here is a picture of page:

Maya, laakiin I know them very well and their little tricks and games they like to play with Soomaalida in order to get shaxaad. There was this burooko weyne lady when she saw me getting my last luggage, she hurried up to the exit area. Fortunately, they installed scanners at the exit for baggages and many caddaan tourists were putting their bags on it. I did as well and the burookoweyne lady - lo and behold - kulahaa go on that line and this machine is not for you. I asked why, she bumbled something. I told her I am very fine and promptly put my baggages in the scanner. She backed down. She wanted me to go to those idle standing customs who only target arriving Soomaalida, forcing them to open their luggages, hussling and expecting lacag baasaboorka loo galiyo when they ask to 'check' baasaboorka, though they have no right to since one already passed immigration. Sadly, many Soomaalis did give them money and I believe they still do. Not me. Never did.

Haddee Reer Boorame jabhad noqdeen xaalka ma sahlano oo meel xun maraayaa.

I am currently in Nayroobi. I don't even leave my hotel room when the maid cleans it. I stay right at the door. If I am not here, I asked them not to bother cleaning the room. Dalkaan iyo dadkiisa si fiican isku naqaanaa, waana dal iyo dadkiisa wada tuugo ah, from madaxweynahooda to booyaasooyinkooda.

Haa, saas u egtahay. Cali Mahdi uma eka qof saas u hadli karo. Waa beysaaniyadii hore. Haddii la dhihi lahaa Mahad Salaad, Qeybdiid, Hebel Cabdishakuur and the likes waaba la aamini lahaa inay saas ka suurowdo.

Marqaankii dhowr iyo labaatanka sano socon waaye waa in dhan kale aanan soconeynin loo jeediyaa. Foodcadde dadkaas marqaansan ku jiraa. Mar dhowna cirka aan ku biirno ka sug asagoo leh.

Where is Tallaabo now? Markaa maalin dhaweyd lahaa dowladda dhexe ayaa ka dambeysay joojinta dhisida saldhigga xaruntaas and he called it preposterous.

Sheeko baraleey. Dhagaxtuur, sheekooyinka ilmaha maa aamineysaa see camal?

Kaftanka marka runta aan lala gamban ku jirto waa tanaa.

Xunjuf did not share this heyb-dhac sawir on SOL. Why? Waala iska garan karaa, I guess. Runta jecliyaa.

This looks more like an analyse than a news report. Iiraan this iyo Iiraan that meesha ka buuxaba. Beenbeensii maba xishoonayaan.

Sheekadaan inaynan soconeynin waala ogaa, especially after baarlamaanka dhexe diiday sanadkii hore. Maxaa masaakiinta marqaansan been loogu sheegaa markuu Muuse Muqayil leeyahay anagaa joojinay. Waxa been badanaa.

Somalia wins first ever football World Cup qualifier Somalia beat Zimbabwe 1-0 in a football World Cup qualifier played in Djibouti on Thursday, in the country’s first ever win in the qualifier. Somalia is the lowest-ranked team in Africa and the match was played in Djibouti, as Somalia does not host any international match due to security reasons. “Somalia makes history to win its first ever FIFA world Cup qualifier clash. Somalia beat Zimbabwe 1-0 in the first leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup preliminary qualifier clash in Djibouti this evening,” Somali Football Federation said. Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed congratulated the team on the victory. “Congratulations to our OceanStars. Your victory is remarkable. You have played purposely. We are eager to receive you back home as you prepare for the return leg,” Somali President Mohamed said in a Twitter post. Abdi Nour Mohamed Ahmed, Somali presidential palace’s communication director, called the win “spectacular”. “We did it! We beat Zimbabwe 1-0! That was Spectacular from our OceanStars. Your Victory has inspired us and brought smiles. Let's keep our Qatar2022 dreams alive because Impossible isn't in our vocabulary,” Ahmed said in a Twitter post. Xigasho

This looks like as a though Korneel Caarre controls a territory larger than Jabuuti.

Why rising Somali numbers scare us • We are afraid of the tables being turned • Afraid that once they are numerous enough to control state resources, they will treat the rest of us just as we have treated them since Independence An impassioned storm was recently ignited on social media by reports that two chiefs had been arrested in Wajir county amidst allegations of inflating population figures in the national census, a rather interesting departure from the typical indifference that generally greets reports of wrongdoing in the conduct of public affairs. Population figures in the former Northeastern Province, which most Somali Kenyans call home, have always been a hotly contested issue every time the counting exercise is around the corner. Census results from Mandera, Wajir and Garissa were cancelled and revised downwards by the Planning ministry in 2009, sparking a legal battle between the government and political representatives from the region. In February, Moses Kuria, the eccentric MP for Gatundu South, enraged sections of the Somali community when he warned in a Facebook post about foreign nationals crossing the border "to beef up the numbers of some communities". He added crudely that this time the government would be "using biometric technology, not improvised explosive devices" to conduct the census. 'Tyranny: Somalis race to join Big Four' was the headline splashed across the front page of a Saturday Standard edition in March 2018, evoking the famous tyranny of numbers mantra first popularised by Mutahi Ngunyi to describe Kenya's heavily ethnicised political scene. On Kenyan streets nowadays, in bars, social gatherings and dinner tables, there are endless whispers about Somalis "taking over" the country. For tribes that have been heavily represented in power since Independence, the tribal game has paid off handsomely at the expense of those who have not been on the right side of the tyranny of numbers. The distinguished American scholar Noam Chomsky once described his country's white population as a group continuously terrified that an empowered black population would turn around and take revenge for their historical oppression. The same psychosis plagued the white minority in apartheid South Africa who feared that black people, once in power, would treat white people just as badly as they had treated them. Ever since the Union Jack descended from Kenyan flagpoles in 1963, the Kenyan cake has been eaten in an extremely inequitable fashion. The tribe of the president has been a reliable indicator of the general flow of resources, patronage and jobs in the public sector. In 1971, notes the historian Daniel Branch in his book Kenya: Between Hope and Despair, an entire half of the 222 top earners in the civil service were Kikuyu. The same ranks filled up disproportionately with people of Kalenjin ethnicity in the 1980s as the new tribe moved into State House, a vicious tribal game that continues to this day. In a just society where tribe does not matter at all, where a person from a tiny tribe is just as likely to be healthy, well fed, educated, employed and secure as a person from a large tribe, where the tribe of the president says nothing about the flow of resources and opportunities, there would be nothing to fear about the population growth of any particular community. This gross unfairness was one of the key factors behind the stark inequalities that crystallised on the Kenyan scene as the decades went along. By the turn of the millennium, according to a 2004 report on inequality in Kenya by the Society for International Development, people living in Central Province were six times more likely to have a job than people living in Northeastern Province; 12 times more likely to have access to piped water; six times more likely to have access to electricity and five times more likely to be enrolled in primary school. For tribes that have been heavily represented in power since Independence, the tribal game has paid off handsomely at the expense of those who have not been on the right side of the tyranny of numbers. The visceral fear of Somali population growth currently spreading on the Kenyan social landscape is the dread of a guilty party afraid of the tables being turned, afraid that once Somali Kenyans are numerous enough to control state resources in Kenya, they will treat the rest of us just as we have treated them since Independence. The guilty, indeed, are always afraid. In a just society where tribe does not matter at all, where a person from a tiny tribe is just as likely to be healthy, well fed, educated, employed and secure as a person from a large tribe, where the tribe of the president says nothing about the flow of resources and opportunities, there would be nothing to fear about the population growth of any particular community. But we have thoroughly failed to create such a society, and so we must live with the consequences of our actions. Xigasho

They said there are five stages of grief, which are are the following: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. We are finally in the final stage from the secessionist zombies. Read on. Mashruuc ay saxiixday DF Soomaaliya oo laga billaabay deegaannada Soomaaliland Cabdillaahi Abokor Cismaan, Wasiirka Gaadiidka iyo Horumarinta Jidadka Somaliland ayaa markii u horeysay shaaca ka qaaday in deegaanadeeda laga wado Mashruuc ay soo saxeexday dowlada federaalka. Wasiirka ayaa sheegay in dowladda Soomaaliya oo ay wehliyaan dowladaha Jabuuti iyo Itoobiya ay wada saxeexeen mashruuca uu baanka horumarinta Afrika ka fulinayo Somaliland, kaasi oo ah wadada isku xidha magaalooyinka Borama iyo Lowyacado. Wasiir Cabdilaahi Abokor oo arrintaasi ka hadlayana wuxuu yiri, “Mashruuca waxa maalgelinaya Baanka Horumarinta Afrika, Mashruuca Hal-abuurkiisana waxa lahayd Dawladda Somaliland, waxaanu markii uu Madaxweynuhu Jabuuti tagay uu ka codsaday Madaxweynaha Jabuuti in Waddadaa (Boorama iyo Lowyacado) wax lagala qabto”. “Madaxweynaha Jabuuti wuu ka hawl-galay waxaanu Baanka Horumarinta Afrika ka codsaday in Waddadaa loo dhiso, waxa ka wada codsaday Dawladaha Jabuuti iyo Itoobiya, Dawladda Soomaaliyana markii dambe qayb ka noqotay, maaddaama oo aanay Somaliland ka mid ahayn Wasiirrada Maaliyadda Afrika ee saxeexa Mashaariicda” Wuxuuna intaas kusii daray “Innaga Soomaaliya waxay inoola mid tahay Itoobiya ama Jabuuti oo kale, Mashruucaana waxa wada saxeexay Saddexdaa Dal, maaddaama oo aynaan innagu ka mid ahayn Baanka Horumarinta Afrika”. “Mashruucaa shaqadiisana Somaliland baa gacanta ku haysa, laakiin Itoobiya, Jabuuti iyo Soomaaliya ayaa wada saxeexay Mashruucaa, maaddaama oo ay qayb ka yihiin baanka Horumarinta Afrika”.
