Thread starter, what do you really have to contribute on this site than badmouthing certain Soomaalis from day one you joined? Did you just register again for that solely.

The only recognized -- and I can personally respect -- Soomaali gaal ah waa Maykal Maryama. And I don't think he celebrated this thing, since true Christian badan aynan u dabaaldegin. Inta kale waa qashin iyo quraafaadkooda.

Gaaladii markee iska dhaafeen asagana soo boodaaba. Gaaladii ayaaba isku heysto inay isdhahaan 'Merry Christmas' or not. Gadaal ka gaar indeed waa goob dumis. At least 'Happy Holidays' ama 'Season's Greetings' iska dheh. Mise kuwaan Hargeysa masoo gaarin miyaa?

To the sister, Rabi ha u raxmado aabo. Samir iyo iimaan reerka iyo adigaba. Sanadkaan 2011 sanad aad iyo aad u wacan ayuu ahaa shaqsi ahaanteyda. Mid lama iloowaan ah. Eebbaa ku mahad leh.

How come no sawiro from Xamar of his arrival still? Axmed Naaji, along with Faadumo Qaasin (Eebba ha u raxmadee), waa fanaanka u daljecel ee Soomaalida. No question about it. For that, mudnaan weyn ayuu ku leeyahay bulshada Soomaaliyeed ee dalkooda jecel.

Shaqsiyaal daneysi wato waaye, oo awooda sare ku jiraan rabo had iyo jeer in the name of maamul goboleed. It is not working and it won't work because maamul goboleedyo maba dhisno, mana dhismi doonto. If it goes into their way, maamul goboleed magac u yaal badan ayaa koow sii bilaabanaayo, and they will want their share of the pie. And that would make baarlamaanka to consist more than 1,000 xildhibaano because too many magac u yaal maamul goboleed would want inay soo magacaabaan xildhibaanadooda. How will it be allocated without census? Will a large gobol with less population receive more allocation than a small gobol with more people? Simply, another reason it won't work. It would have been great if they rejected the flawed 4.5 in the name of principle, which most sane Soomaalis agree. Laakiin dano gaar ah ayaa looga soo horjeedaa, and not in principle. Qof walba oo wax arki karo ayaa arka taas.

Somali women defy danger to write basketball history It's just a few minutes after the final whistle has blown and the shiny basketball court of the Al Gharafa Sports Hall in Doha is filled with shouts and cheers. The sky blue-clad national women's basketball team from war-ravaged Somalia has just beaten Qatar, the host nation, at the 2011 Arab Games, in a hotly-contested match that ended 67-57 to the East African country. "Words can't describe how I felt," says Canadian-born Somali team member Khatra Mahdi about last week's triumph. "We were all jumping up and down, there were tears in the girls' eyes -- history was made right there," she adds. The victory marked a remarkable feat for the Somali players as it came against a backdrop fraught with difficulties and danger. Notwithstanding Somalia's prolonged civil war and shattered sports infrastructure, the team says it had to prepare for the Games in the bullet-ridden police headquarters in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. There, the women would train for two to three hours a day under the watchful eye of security officers, tasked to safeguard them against religious militants targeting women playing the sport. "We try to protect them outside and inside," says Said Duale, the secretary general of the Somali Basketball Federation, adding that the safety of the women is "taken very seriously." In recent years, many Somali athletes have been threatened by members of the militant Islamist group Al Shabaab who see sport as an "un-Islamic" activity, according to Duran Ahmed Farah, the Somali National Olympic Committee (NOC) senior vice president for international relations. In summer 2006, the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), which then controlled Mogadishu, labelled sport as a "satanic act" and issued an order prohibiting women from playing sport, including basketball. A few months later, the ICU was deposed but Al Shabaab, which has connections to al Qaeda, is still fighting to impose its own interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia, on the country. "The threat is always there -- there are people who will see girls playing sport as a devil's thing and they will not allow it," Farah says. Women have been stoned to death for adultery; amputations and beheadings are common while in some areas Al Shabaab has banned listening to the radio. "These girls are brave: in that kind of environment they're still playing their sport, the sport they like," says Farah. Basketball is one of the most popular sports amongst women in Somalia. Duale says that the country's first national female basketball team was created in the early 1970s but hadn't performed at an international tournament since 1987. The Islamist ban, coupled with the challenges presented by the lack of sponsorship and destroyed facilities, have all hindered the development of the sport in recent years. Yet, despite the threats and all the setbacks, Somalia's national women's basketball team concluded its participation at the Games on Monday with the very respectable tally of three losses and two victories -- Kuwait also lost to Somalia. Like some other teams representing Muslim countries, the national team plays in relatively modest uniforms: track pants and shirts with elbow-length sleeves; players also wear scarves that cover their hair. Coach Mohamed Sheekh put together an ambitious team comprised of women based in Somalia and the diaspora -- the United States, Canada, UK and Germany. Many of the players hadn't even seen their teammates before, let alone played a basketball game with them. "I'm very happy and proud of them," says Sheekh of his players. "They were excellent and everyone was talking about them." NOC president Aden Hagi Yeberow says the team's success in Doha can act as a unifying factor in a country that's been plagued by insecurity, political instability, lack of unity and scarcity of resources. "We want to use sport as a peace-building tool to bring the Somali people together," he says. "What these young girls are doing in this tournament has laid the foundations, hopefully, of a good future of our people. "We would like to capitalize on this and also to move forward and, hopefully, this will be the beginning and the start of the unity of our people."

Marginalization of the Somali Intellectual Class In every society there is a small group of people who possess adequate authority to influence positive (or negative) change. This group—often referred to as The Elite—could come from any sector of a society from military, economic, political, social, spiritual, to the intellectual. In one way or another, every one of these circles of authority has participated in the failure of the Somali state. However, none has rejected that notion more than the Intellectual Class, whether religious, secular, or in-between. Of course, contrary to the common misconception, not all intelligent persons, high achievers, or academically credentialed people who become experts in one field or another are intellectuals. Unlike the segment often referred to as experts and technocrats whose function is often focused on the micro level of structure and governance, intellectuals, by and large, focus on the macro. They produce ideas that influence powers that be and shape history by moving societies towards one direction or another. With few exceptions, the civil war has divided the Somali Intellectual Class into four categories: First, the Diffident Lot who could not muster the confidence and the will to consolidate their mind power against the might of the gun. Second, the Aloof Lot, who, due to self-interest, intellectual narcissism, or a subservient aim to please foreign interest groups derail peace processes by their actions or lack thereof. Third, the Co-opted Lot who unabashedly carry the banners of their clans’ chauvinistic agendas. Fourth, the Reformist Lot who try to influence from within and without the system. It is within that context that the Intellectual Class has failed to articulate any vision the Somali people can unite around, or to craft any strategy to bail the nation out of the current political predicament. They failed to recognize their role in inspiring the public toward positive change, toward the recovery from the trauma of the fratricide, toward justice, toward peace and reconciliation, toward the appreciation of rule of law, toward the rebuilding of governmental and civic institutions, and toward good governance. The biggest dilemma facing the Somali Intellectual Class is their challenge to liberate themselves from the exploitative and oppressive clan paradigm. Most still remain active in their chosen role to cleverly recycle the clichés and the self-serving narratives of their respective clans. Putting the Cart Before The Horse The current trend in which a number of Somali intellectuals and activists are either establishing their own political party or declaring themselves regional President raises some concerns. Of course, there is a big difference between those establishing political parties to compete within the state political parameters (though that is yet to be developed) and those who are carving out “their” clan’s territories. Nonetheless, when the Intellectual Class dedicates much of its energy in the creation of exclusive political clubs and arbitrary claims to clan exclusive rights at this volatile juncture is the equivalent to doctors in a trauma center abandoning their patient to work on administrative issues, or on how to maximize profit. So much for prioritizing issues! Dedicating their intellectual foresight and activist energy to such special interest endeavors before the country is reconciled, its sovereignty regained, and its destroyed institutions are rebuilt is a lamentable turn of events and a costly predicament for the nation. Instead of setting aside their clan and ideological differences in order to save the nation, they are now card-carrying loyalists to one interest group or another, thus contributing to the further fragmentation of the country. Their choices are drawing new political demarcations and prematurely caging themselves within the confines of myopic principles and political agendas. Admittedly, I, among other, have been advocating that the most practical way to systematically eradicate the institutionalized clanism known as the “4.5 system” is by replacing it with legitimate political parties that are willing to compete through a democratic process. But, I have never fathomed the situation at hand. The more this trend continues, the more divided Somalia would be. The more divided Somalia remains, the less likely for it to emerge out of its failed status. The more Somalia remains a failed state, the more likely the balkanization process (currently underway) is justified. The Failed States Index considers “Factionalized Elites” as one of the key factors that determine the failure of a state. With the Right Frame of Mind, the Sky’s the Limit The marginalization of the Intellectual Class is mainly self-imposed and changing that condition will require introspection, vision, and the courage to transcend personal and clan interests. Throughout that process, the Intellectual Class must come to the realization that loyalty, at this critical juncture, ought not to be solely devoted to a party or a particular region, but to the salvation of the nation. As the political vultures ominously hover overhead, Somalia is evermore in need of the brainpower and the collective resources and energy of all its citizens. Today, the nation is in a condition that is profoundly more dangerous than the colonial era. As in the liberation movement, Somalia needs a broad-based persistent struggle to reconcile our differences, to win back our sovereignty, and to pave the way for a better future. Naturally, the issue of human capital—the lifeblood of all functioning societies—still remains as one of the most serious challenges facing Somalia. During the civil war of the past two decades, the nation became the epitome of Africa’s brain-drain. Therefore, it is not an overestimation to assume that such an effort can only be started by the Somalis in the Diaspora who could then push that “open door movement” throughout the homeland. Xigasho
