Once more Harper regime ignores another Canadian's plight. Once again, the right-wing prime minister's true feathers are more apparent, satisfying his redneck base that votes for him. _______________ Canadian convicted of terror charges in Ethiopia Calling the court's decision a 'travesty of justice,' Toronto man's lawyer urges Ottawa to intervene A Canadian citizen who has been in jail in Ethiopia for 2 1/2 years has been convicted of being part of a separatist terrorist organization there. Bashir Makhtal, who lived in Toronto until June 2002, was devastated when the judge announced the verdict, according to relatives here. Makhtal has maintained his innocence throughout the years he has been held captive. Relatives here said he told kin in Addis Ababa that his only hope now is the Canadian government. They said he did not believe he would be treated fairly by Ethiopian officials. Makhtal also denied in court any affiliation with the separatist movement known as the ****** National Liberation Front, which is fighting for the Somali-speaking population of Ethiopia's disputed, oil-rich ****** region. The group is considered a terrorist organization by the Ethiopian government. Makhtal is scheduled to be sentenced next week, but his Toronto human rights lawyer, Lorne Waldman, called yesterday's decision "a travesty of justice." Makhtal didn't get a fair trial, Waldman said, adding the Ethiopian justice system is nothing more than a "kangaroo court." The only hope for Bashir is "a very forceful intervention by the Canadian government on his behalf, demanding he be repatriated back to Canada," Waldman said. He said it's urgent that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon get directly involved. Makhtal's family members here and the Canadian-Somali community are also urging Harper to get involved. Until now, Conservative MP Deepak Obhrai, parliamentary secretary for foreign affairs, and Transport Minister John Baird have worked on the case. Baird issued a statement saying he was "disappointed" with the verdict, adding everything is being done to provide Makhtal with the full support and assistance of the government. The former CIBC employee left Canada to work with a fellow Canadian in a used-clothing business in Djibouti. He was arrested in 2006 as he was trying to cross the border between Kenya and Somalia after fleeing violence in Mogadishu. He was taken to Nairobi, where he was supposed to appear in court. But before his case could be heard, he was spirited away in January 2007 to Addis Ababa, where he has been held since. It is believed that Ethiopian officials were interested in him because he is the grandson of one of the founders of the ****** National Liberation Front. The Star

Well, if he uses and travels with the green baasaboor, a baasaboor he despises, that would make him a labafoole before my eyes. Again, I am sure he is using the Finnish one rather than the green one he scorns.

I liked Horncable Tv. Gabar isku dhaceyso, very stylish ah kasoo gali jirtay during the evening times. Labiskeeda aadi ugu heli jiray iyo see u suurooneyso. Waxee host ka ahayd show magaciis ii gooye, ku saabsanaa salaamaha iyo heesaha dadweynaha soo diraayeen, dalbanaayeen. Jacbaro, qoftaa ka hadlaayo ma fahantay. War igu salaan haddaa aragtid qoftaas.

at sidiri gam.

I am spam allergic. I can sense one. For two weeks or more, I was receiving those 'fotos,' and immediately deleted them.

He used to be a daacad guy waaguu Afrikan Filaj (African Village) in Xamar deganaa too as well. Dowladii hore daacad ayuu u ahaa. Taloow baasaboor uu Sacuudiya ku tagay kee waaye. Probably his Finnish one uu isticmaaloyaa.

Eebba ha u naxariisto aabo. Reerkana dhamaantood samir iyo iimaan.

Peace, brother, I have my respects for you, laakiin ima fahmin. I supported C/llaahi Yuusuf's dowlad, albeit never liking his policies. I supported for the sake of Soomaaliya dowlad u dhalatay, albeit ahayd kumeel gaar. Unfortunately, Xabashi ayuu keenay. And I don't support Shariif Sh. Axmed. Waa shaqsi, shaqsi siyaasadeedna waligey ma support gareynin. I support ideas, anyone who aan u arko his or her ideas macquul yihiin will have my vote. This is the last chance Soomaaliya dowlad fursad u leedahay inay hesho. Haddee tan dhacdo Soomaaliya burburkeeda wey u dhamaaneysaa, oo meeshii u dambeeye taagantahay. I support it for the sake of Soomaaliya nation u burburin, oo qaarada adduunka ka bixin, same as I supported when dowladii kumeelgaarka hore was created in '04 and C/llaahi Yuusuf headed it, inkastoo siyaasadiisa jecleysan. Marka it is regardless who headed and heads it. Marka waa saas.

Ee walaashiis yaa yiri hee 1977 ayaa la dhashay, haddana lagu dhashay Isbitaal Banaadir. Re-read Nuune's second last post again.

Waxaa kasii daran labiskooda, sidee dadkeena u dhalaali jireen waayadaas, oo u nimceysnaayeen. Even sawiradii hore haddaa fiirisid, from family albums waa yaabeysaa see u labisnaan jireen. Waayo, waayo, indeed.

He is sick, probably recuperating somewhere in London, I think. Others are Diinaari and Xuubsireed. Ma xasuusatid? Dad badan ayaa magacyadooda fast kusoo baxay, kuna dhacay.

And yet another trolling one, a waste of bandwidth. And the initiator of this thread is this same person who wrote this when Nuur Cadde was said to meet Ms. Rice, then Secretary of State: "Landmark meeting overlooked by the SOL die hards but why?." And when the biggest Xabashi stooge wanted to meet Ms. Rice, the same initiator of this thread was bombarding the site, salivating. Then again, nothing new from a certain person. Wishing Soomaaliya, the nation, the republic to not get from its feet of dragging civil wars and once again be among the respected nations of this world -- only because of xaasidnimo, only because the biggest stooge Soomaalis had seen did not succeed to lead, with his miserable failure. Soomaaliya is a nation, it is not beholden to an individual or a special interest group. Soomaaliya ma'aha jaraanjar meel lagu gaaraayo, oo dan qabyaaladeed laga leeyahay. Soomaaliya is nation oo Soomaalida ka dhaxeyso, it is not dal lagu gorgortamaayo meel lagu gaaro la rabo for selfish reasons. Soomaaliya cannot be a jaraanjar lagu koraayo meel one wants enrich one's self. No, no, and no.

Qof walba waa hadli karaa, iska hadal looma hadlo, though. Another spamming thread, with no purpose whatsoever.

And two decades ago, a kid like that. What a breakdance. Taloow that kid intuu ku dambeeye now. Fast forward it to 2:05, he is the one Saado Cali brings to the centre stage.

This life, indeed. What a life. Look at their faces, how they are enjoying carelessly. Such a gathering of a heavyweights of stars. Xasan Aaden Samatar, Magool, Cumar Dhuule (Eebba ha u naxariistee both marxuum), Daleys, Khadro Daahir, Faadumo Qaasin, Saado Cali, Sangub, Sheekh Abuukar and others whose names escape me. They gathered to celebrate Cabdi Bille Cabdi's triumph at athletics and welcoming him back to Soomaaliya. Such a gathering to welcome him, how fitting. Indeed, weeraroow dooyoow waniini.... And I never thought marxuumadda Magool could move like that. Eebboow u naxariiso walaasheen.

Kuwa la baxay Ururka Islaamka do have a bit soft spot for Soomaalinimo still -- they still have a bit of Soomaali nationalism in them. Kuwa kale ma kala jeclo, Soomaaliya iyo waxaasna dantooda siyaasadeed ma'aha. Shisheeye baas ayaa dabada ka wato.

Waligaa jaay maku kor ciyaartay? Isla jaaygaas cidiyaha faraha hoose makaaga siibmeen adigoo isleh banooniga darbee laakiin jaayga qaaday instead? How I used to hate jaayga inaa ku ciyaaro, but luckily waligey cidiyo ma iiga siibmin.

“This is Somali al Shabaab. I will kill you tomorrow,” says a man in English. “How will that solve your problem?” Ba-Hoku asks. “Can I bring myself so that you don’t waste your time looking for me?” The caller, clearly confused, switches off. Within seconds, a message comes in. “Peace of Allah be upon you, Barigye-Bahoku,” it reads. “In reality, we are very sorry you are staying in Somalia. If Allah says, we shall kill you as we are the soldiers of Islam.” The next caller is a woman. “Go, go, go!” she shouts. “Go (to) your country! Gal (infidel)!” “Do you know how many Somalis are in Uganda?” Ba-Hoku asks calmly. “We have never bothered to chase them away because they are our brothers.” She switches off. Two messages roll in almost simultaneously. One says: “You are going to lost (lose) you life very soon.” The other reads: “I believe I will one day be strong Somali president and I shall make all Ugandan people our slaves! God curse Uganda! God delete Ugandan existence!” Ba-Hoku shrugs when asked if they don’t wear him down. “They must have bad instructors,” he simply says. Desperados, sida wanaagsan loo hadla xataa garaneynin, asluubnimana ha sheeginba. Markaas diinteena suuban inay ku dhaqmaan kuu sii sheeganayaan.

He is talking about Cumar Shooli's song: Dumar kale ma caashaqin. Don't you read his 'scratched in the back' ( ) -- Dusha ha iga xaganinee, la dabaalo, la dabaalo caashaqa.

Taas dhexda ku jirto shaf dheeraa. Bisinka. Taas mid 20 ka yar uma arki.

It is the responsibility of the owners of the apartments to let the people dwelling there know more about the health and safety in case of emergency or fire. It is a BIG no to take wiishka even if there is a false alarm, always da stairs. The Somali community in Stockholm specially in Ringkbey waa iney xil iska saaraan sidey ugu sharxi lahaayeen qoysas badanoo sidaas oo kale apartmentsya dagan balse aan waxba ka aqoon health and safety in case of emergency.

Laakiin tan ayaa horey u aqriye: "The 42-year-old and her family had attempted to escape the fire and smoke via the stairs and were found in the stairwell of the six-story building, police said." Kan warka Soomaaliga qoray amee wax ka qaldanyihiin koley, mise others are downplaying that wiishka ku geeriyoodeen. If it is, baaritaan weyn imaaneyso.

MMA: You are closer to Mogadishu than I am sxb. Clan-wise I'm from Hiiraan so please do not misintrepret the notion Mogadishu society as something clannish. I am not closer to Muqdisho. I am a real Reer Muqdisho. Waa meesha aan ku dhashay, kuna koray, ku caqliyeystay, kuna sii barbaaray, waxbarashadeyda ugu horeysayna kusoo dhigtay. I would never trade for any other place. It had, has and will always have a dear, special place in my heart. I was also saying you can defend any group, clan, place you would want to. If it be a clan, wax weyn uma arko. And remember, I wrote earlier too a big 'if,' which meant I didn't say you were defending your clan per se. Their interpretation of Muqdisho Society ayaa interpret gareeye, meaning even if you want to defend your clan, wuuxuu yahayba, nothing wrong, just a misguided priority u arkaaye.
