Yoonis, this is why I was and still am always against federaalkaan baas. Soomaaliya and Soomaalis didn't choose this when C/qaadir Soobe and his political party were an ardent advocate of federalism in 1950-60s. Soobe's urur reprsentatives even went to Qaramada Midoobay in New York in late '50, giving a speech at the UN, advocating federal system for Soomaaliya's upcoming independence. They believed Maay and Maxaatiri federal states. Soomaaliya rightly didn't follow this when we gained our full sovereignty.

I blame Farmaajo bringing this mentally unstable person out of some unknown suburban of New York to Soomaaliya's national political scene in 2010. Taariikh soo jireen kulahaa. Where were they, Imaaraadka, the years between 1991-2012, save 1993-1994 when they came with the international forces as many others did? Maseer ay Turkiga ka qaadeen ayee Soomaaliya u soo galeen in 2012, otherwise they would still have watched us die daily in abaaro and other masiibooyin, had not Turkiga entered Soomaaliya in 2011. Also why is this dude accusing dowladda dhexe taking a side? When did Soomaaliya take sides between Reer Khaliijka? Dhex dhexaad haddii laga ahaado maxaa ka qaldan, same route Cumaan, Suudaan, Kuweyd and others, have taken. Imaaraad is a bully, only trying to bully those countries that are recovering, like Liibiya, Yeman iyo Soomaaliya. Why don't they go after Cumaan or Suudaan? They can't dare that. We are sovereign, we can and will do whatever we want to do. Countries more powerful than Imaaraad qamiisweyn tried to subdue us, but failed. Marka ma iyagaa u daaheenaa. Eniwey, dadkaas qamiiska weyn doolarka haa soo xaabsado, koley meesha waxba kuma haayee. Those so-called 'madax' maamuleed failed before in Oktoobar, 2017, when they tried to show unity, creating an alliance. Whatever happened to that political alliance formed in Kismaayo? They will fail again, no doubt.

Suudaan and Soomaaliya have had historical relations, especially after 1969, when Jacfar came to power in Suudaan. They always offered Soomaali students scholarships, rainy day or not. Soomaaliya had four primarily countries who helped us in our challenging years between 1991-2011. Those were Suuriya, Suudaan, Bakistaan and Maleysiya. Soomaalis didn't need any visa to enter in those countries.

Just another meeting by maamul goboleed oo Imaaraad qamiis weyne lacag loogu cuno. Whatever happened to shirkii la isku biirsaday ee Kismaayo ka dhacay back in Oktobaar, where the so-called 'madaxda' maamul goboleedka had an alliance. It failed miserably and this too will. Axmed Madoobe wuu isqarinaayaa, one because of his recent eye surgery in Nayroobi oo waxba ma arko, but also ceebtiisa luu sii kordhinaayaa. From Barbaarta, to Xisbul Islaam to 'madaxweyne' maamul goboleed to this. Ceeb looma dhinto. Others, like Gaas iyo Shariifka, are shameless, as always, jeebkooda u daran kuwaas, mana buuxsamo. Ka soo aruursada the naive Imaaraad any doolar you can get, but meeshii gurbaanta lagu tumi lahaa la iska rabaa.

The Gabre junior in Waqooyiga - Berhe Tesfaye - is expanding, opening their latest franchise (err, xarun) in Burco. Unbelievable, xataa gambasho ma jirto, maalin caddeey.

Galbeedi, we knew this and more, though. Soomaaliya hore ee u socotaa, that is why Hibo Nuura, Farxaan Xiddig iyo Nakruuma prefer to live in Muqdisho now than in Mareykanka, Ingiriiska iyo Kanada respectively. Meesha waxee arkeen inay soo iftiimeyso. I really hope you will check it soon yourself.

Holac, soori widaay, but if my 16 years experience of SOL membership taught me anything, topics like this will inevitably get ugly. Marka I have to close it for the sake of SOL's rules.

Riyadii waa laga soo baraarugay.

Holac, I am surprised you don't know. Google Makhtal Daahir.

U turjun hee micnaha ga' iyo jiq laga wado dadkaan qowdhan iyo qald... waayee.

He was kidnapped by Kenyans in Dhoobleey, Soomaaliya, his first country. And they then transfered him to Nayroobi. What passport he had or not is not the issue. The old government of Kanada wasn't really serious about his release since that government was led by a right-wing anti-Islam leader, even though his own foreign minister at one time tried a little bit since Bashiir last lived in his constituency in Ottawa. Anyway, I am glad he is free since Xabashi elites cannot stand anyone with Makhtal name.

Maka qaleynaa oo ga' maka siinaa? Laakiin runta waxmagarato aan ogahay ee karbaashtaa ee maxaa sameynaa marka. Arag odeygaas wareersan oo leh xalay waa seexan waaye markee Imaaraadka ee u gurbaan tumaayeen laad kaga toosiyeen riyadee iskaga jireen

Warkaan hadduu run yahay, aad ayaan ugu faraxsanahay. Kanada wey ku sharaf beeshay arrinka ninkaan, gaar ahaan dowladii macangaga ahayd ee Stephen Harper.

I hadn't seen a calaacal like this since, well, Maarso 8th, when a certain man by the name of Muuse Ooyaaye dumarka ka wada ooysiiye. Aah, dowladda Qadar Xamar ayee basas ka dajiyeen. Aah, Xamar ayaa laga farxiye, aah Xamar doolarka lagu qabtay halkaan laga qaaday. What the... Odeyga hoosguntiga ayuuba dhigan rabaa.

I guess Moorgan got bored in xaafadii Hurlingham in Nayroobi. Odeyaasha Soomaaliyeed ereyga 'retirement' waa in la baraa, kuna dhaqmaan.

LoLing at 'playboys.' How apt. If only the corrupt Xasan Sh. Maxamuud hadn't secretly signed the lease for Berbera in order to get a few million dollars, we wouldn't have had this discussion. But this dowlad isn't like the one led by Xasan Sh., Cumar C/rashiid and their cronies. Imaaraad filinkee ciyaari jireen uma soconeyso ee kaarto kale ha keensadaan.

This is the only place Siyaad Barre allowed to be named, legend says. Siyaad Barre can be faulted a lot, but he surely wasn't narcissistic kaligii taliye. Otherwise we would have had his face on Soomaali currencies; his name on airports; his statues on every major Soomaali town; his name on stadiums and schools; money poured into dictator's original town and millions stolen in Swiss accounts. Yet Moi of Kenya - many don't think a dictator when his name is mentioned - did all the above and more, forget about the crazy ones.

Cali Mahdi Maxamed was a businessman, and he foremost cared about his business in 1990, of course. The original plan was the exiled lawyer Ismaaciil Jimcaale Cosoble to be an interim leader should Siyaad Barre leave from the political scene. Unfortunately, Ismaaciil passed away untimely just few weeks after he signed the Maanifeesto. Had Ismaaciil Jimcaale lived to see the fall of Siyaad Barre's government, Soomaaliya's history would have been different in the last 30 years. Same way many think that had C/rashiid Cali Sharmaarke not assassinated in 1969, Soomaaliya's history would have been completely different.

They think they can bully us into submission. They can only try to bully civil-strived countries like Liibiya, Yeman and us. They certainly can't touch Suudaan, whom Qadar invested far more and has much closer relationship. We are neutral, Soomaaliya didn't take a side, but they are compelling us each day to take a side.

Who needs miyi-mentality reer baadiyo Imaaraad. What do they ever produce? Zero. Transit hub ee yihiin ayaa beenta u sheegay. We can bring Iiraan in, una fasixi karnaa baddeena balaaran ha isku xaaraanee if they don't cease these aggresions. Soomaaliya is not in 2008.

Saalax, can you get Abwaan Qorane telefoonkiisa ama meel lagala xiriiro. We would appreciate that.

This reminds me back in mid 1990. My father was the second person to sign baaqa Maanifeesto, after madaxweyne Aaden Cadde. He was expecting to be detained, so when three top three CID came to our house, he was ready. He brought his prepared boorso (macawiisyo, cadey, shaalal, finaanado, tusbax iyo kitaabyo) and told them, 'Let's go.' They were surprised and kept saying something like, 'Sheekhoow, tartiibso, inaa ku kaxeyno diyaar uma nihin. Su'aalo inaa ku weydiino u nimid.' The top questions they asked were, I would hear later, who brought the Maanifeesto papers to him and who read it for him since his eyesight wasn't that good. He didn't name neither. Maxamed Abshir Muuse Mataan was the one who brought the papers, though. They didn't detain him. They told him not to worry, that the top echelon of the government specifically told them to leave him and Aaden Cadde alone. What was funny was Cali Mahdi and other younger ones immediately denied they ever signed the papers, though, claiming their signatures were forged. I guess he cared about his business and famous hoteel. And a few months later, he would claim to be a madaxweyne.

I wasn't expecting this in Xamar.

I would rather ask Saalax for her family's contact info than ask a die-hard secessionist who waxba dhaamin kuwa dulminaayo gabadhaan walaasheena ah.

Sax. This sister dulmiga lagu haayo particularly made me upset.
