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.

“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.

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.

One more reason why Toronto Star is my favourite paper in this city. Passing the lips test A stiff upper lip is often needed when dealing with Canadian officials. But when Suaad Hagi Mohamud, a 31-year-old Toronto mother, was apparently blocked from returning to Canada from Kenya because an official didn't believe her lips matched those in her passport photo, she needed more than ordinary fortitude. After two months of fear and privation in Nairobi, Mohamud finally got an agreement, via her lawyer, that Ottawa would do DNA testing to allow a definitive identification. Ottawa will also ask Kenya to postpone criminal proceedings against her on identity fraud charges until the vital evidence is presented. But the test results will take up to two weeks to confirm. Meanwhile, the now-broke Mohamud is living in a rundown Nairobi hotel room where she is holed up, in fear of street criminals and police who might detain her because she is not carrying the passport that Canadian officials summarily cancelled. Given that there are filed affidavits testifying to Mohamud's identity and that Mohamud herself pleaded for a DNA test, it is almost certain that she is who she says she is and that the officials bungled in denying her entry to Canada. Accordingly, the Canadian government should pay her expenses in Nairobi while she awaits the DNA test results. Koronto Istaar Mohamed Abscir (Abshir), 12, sits outside Tim Horton's at Lawrence Square Mall in North York, a place he and his mother used to frequent. His mother, Suaad Hagi Mohamud, has been marooned in Nairobi for two months.

Woman's DNA test delayed Foreign affairs minister says there is 'no proof' that the person stranded in Kenya is Canadian Suaad Hagi Mohamud will take the first step to proving who she is on Monday when she gives her DNA sample in Nairobi. That's two days later than what was initially agreed to by the federal government, but Raoul Boulakia, her Toronto lawyer, says he is willing to wait until then before approaching the court again. "I'm concerned we're adding two more days to her separation from her son," Boulakia said yesterday. "It's not fair to her." But yesterday, in Ottawa, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon – until now silent on the matter – suggested Mohamud has no one but herself to blame. "The individual has to be straightforward, has to let us know whether or not she is a Canadian citizen," Cannon said. "She's saying so, but there is no tangible proof to the effect. All Canadians who hold passports generally have a picture that is identical in their passport to what they claim to be." Mohamud has been marooned in Nairobi for more than two months. The 31-year-old was on her way back to Toronto when she was detained at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on May 17 for not looking like her four-year-old passport photo. The Canadian High Commission in Kenya later said she was an imposter and cancelled her passport. The federal government, which agreed to a DNA test Wednesday, promised her lawyer it would be done by today. But the Somali-born Mohamud was told yesterday her DNA sample will be taken Monday, said her lawyer. "There was no explanation for the delay," said Boulakia. A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency declined to comment yesterday on the delay. Mohamud's lawyer in Nairobi, Lucas Naikuni, will be present when the DNA sample is taken. Meanwhile, a Kenyan court agreed to postpone criminal proceedings against her at Canada's request yesterday. She's charged with "unlawfully being" in Kenya, and for attempting to use another person's passport under the Kenyan immigration law. If found guilty, she could be imprisoned or deported back to her native Somalia, a country that has been embroiled in chaos for more than 15 years. Yesterday's hearing at the Nairobi court lasted only a few minutes. Mohamud, wearing an orange floral patterned head scarf, stood as the judge quickly agreed to put off the next hearing until Oct. 16. Two Canadian consular officials who attended yesterday's hearing refused to speak to the Star, give their names or even shake hands. The Toronto woman said the adjournment came as a big relief. "I couldn't have handled being in jail again," said Mohamud, who spent eight days in a Nairobi jail. "I feel in pain, to be honest, I feel really sick," Mohamud told the Star in the packed Nairobi courtroom. "My country let me down – that's what really makes me mad." Mohamud, an overnight supervisor with ATS courier in Etobicoke, said she just wants to be with her 12-year-old son. "I have done nothing illegal. I'd do anything to be with my son." She said she's taking one step at a time in getting through the "nightmare," staying in a rundown hotel and afraid to go outside. When she does go out, an employee of Ecoterra International, a German-founded human rights organization with an office in Nairobi, accompanies her everywhere, including when she goes to the Canadian High Commission. In an email to the Star, Ecoterra's Aina Seering said: "(She is) heavily traumatized and (the employee) even has to watch her that she doesn't run into cars while crossing the streets. She only thinks permanently on her son and the injustice her new homeland does to her." The Star
