A distant relative of mine ayaa Falastiin ku duugan. In late '80s in the heyday of first Intifada ayee Yahuuda ku gubeen somewhere in Daanta Galbeed (West Bank). He was an NGO worker. Rabi ha u raxmado marxuumka. Soomaalida xishmad gaar ayee Falastiimiinta u haayaan, waana dowladda dowladaha ugu horeeye hiil iyo hooba u haaye Reer Falastiin. Xataa gabdhaheena magacaas u bixinaa. I don't think any other Muslim community gabdhahooda u bixiyo Falastiin.

Gaaladaan and their shaqo la'aan cilmibaaris. How was this study exactly being done? Did they collude with phone companies and secretly record each phone number's dialed number. And how would they know who is a spouse or not. If they followed the subjects and people were aware of it, then their study is not scientifically feasible. Some could have been deliberate.

I don't have to guess. I have met a bunch of them and do remember a lot of their names. LooL at Abwaan.

Abwaan, degmooyin waala sameyn karaa dhib kama jirto taas laakiin kooxdaan rabto in Hiiraan la kala qeybiye waa kuwa ku qanacsaneen midnimada halka degmo ee Beledweyne. Their frustration starts and ends with Beledweyne.

I am a Real Madrid fan sheerly because of him. The way he played in last World Cup was amazing. He is the kind of player I have too much respect for his unselfishness. He would rather pass to teammate even if he is alone facing the opponent's goal. He is that kind of player.

Mascuud Osil (Mesut Ozil) is by far the best playmaker since Gheorge Xaaji (Hagi) and Sidaane (Zidane). His smooth passing, the way he controls the ball is pure class. I am very glad he led his team today to win over that iskiimoos team.

But who can read a whole book on his laptop or on her PC. Waaba indha beelid. Even those fancy e-book readers indhahaaga ayee daaliyaan, if not putting more straining. Nothing matches holding the book in your hands, same way like newspapers. Even xataa.

Let us put the qabiil thing aside for once and look things from a different angle. I think one of the reasons Koofurtu ay la degi la'dahay inay tahay is how things were planned by previous admins.....you will see degaanno aan tuulo waxba ka weyneyn oo degmooyin laga dhigay, degaanno dadku ku badan yahay oo iyaguna ay ku yaryihiin degmooyinku. Hiiraan iyo Sanaagba labadaan gobolka lixdankii ka yimaadeen. Waa laba gobol kaliya dhisnaa lixdankii. Uma maleeyi inay xaal keeneyso kala jarida Hiiraan. Haddii Beledweyne laga saaro, maxaa soo harayba? Buuloburde, Matabaan iyo Jalalaqsi. Gobol dadka isla degan si xaq iyo xaal ah ayee ku qeybsan karaan. Waa haddee rabaan inay si walaaltinimo u degnaadaan. And kuwaan u hormuudaayo in la kala jaro gobolka waa isla kuwa rabo in Beledweyne la kala gooyo oo qad cagaaran loo sameeyo, sida Gaalkacyo camal. Waaba sida ee hadda tahay in unofficial way. Hiiraan hala kala jaro waxee ula jeedaan Beledweyne hala kala calaamadeeyo. Wax suurta gal ahna ma'aha. Gobol dadka tiradiisa haddee badantahay iyo gobolka balaciisa hadduu weynyahay loo kala jari karaa ma'ahee laakiin qabiilnimo aan u kala goyno.

Taliban commander turns himself in — to collect $100 reward money A Taliban commander in Afghanistan carrying his own wanted poster turned himself in to Afghan troops to claim the $100 U.S. bounty. “We asked him, ‘Is this you?’ Mohammad Ashan answered with an incredible amount of enthusiasm, ‘Yes, yes, that’s me! Can I get my award now?’” U.S. Army Specialist Matthew Baker was quoted as saying by the Washington Post. Ashan’s Wanted poster went up around the southeastern Afghan province of Paktika after he was believed responsible for organizing IED (improvised explosive device) attacks on U.S. and Afghan troops. He brought a copy of the poster with him when he walked up to a police checkpoint in the Sar Howza district and demanded the $100 reward for his arrest. U.S. troops used a biometric scan to confirm that the man in Afghan custody was the Ashan on the poster, the Washington Post said. “This guy is the Taliban equivalent of the ‘Home Alone’ burglars,” one U.S. official told the Post. The BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul described Ashan is a mid- to low-level Taliban commander in Paktika. Officials and soldiers interviewed by the Post and the BBC were baffled about why Ashan surrendered to collect the reward money. Although wanted posters are widely used by NATO in Afghanistan, they hadn’t previously produced many results. Toronto Star

If only the most important goverments document would be available in Maay Maay it would give a boost to emanicipation and participation of whole regions. At least this was the case in countries where they strong regional dialects like Spain(Catalan and Bask country). And one would get more information on what plays in those regions. inaa Maxaa tiriga oo kale la xamaniyo. It is the first language recognized in the constitution, along with Maxaatiri. No need for second. So if any xildhibaan opts to speak in Afmaay in baarlamaanka, kuwa fahmin nasiibkooda waaye. Marka hala iska barto, siiba qofkii rabo in uu jago sare ka qabto Soomaaliya.

So to Swedes, 'Africans' look like that miyaa.
