Axmed Walad Cabdalle sounds and feels more genuine Soomaali, has far greater concern for the country Soomaaliya than this so-called Soomaali "sheekh," who claims to be in the leadership position. Ilaa iyo 1991 buu dagaal iyo jihaad aan jirin u taaganyahay. Wax uu ka naxaayo ma jirto ka ahayn kursigaas uu rabo korneelkaan.

Gaarisa. Gaarisa town centre. Gaarisa hospital's entrance. It is a bit blur since I was in a moving car and it was dusk as well.

Some of them are said to pay up to Sh50,000 for space big enough only for a wheelbarrow. It is true. Originally posted by Malika: Okay,the place smelled terribly!

I loved the food though in the restaurants,ciil baa hiliib uu hayee, waan kaa soo deergee! The Somali beggers aa raxadaa igaa qaadee,Somali children and old ladies begging on the streets was hard to see. The nightlife of Eastleigh is something to write home about! am still shocked. Sadexdii kabo aan la tagayba Islii soo rafaadisay oo wada halaabeen. Two pairs waaba kasoo tagay. Busta is another case. That was why late in the afternoon u bixi jiray if aan labisanaayo, otherwise within minutes dharkaaga halaabaayo from tornado-like wild dust. I too wondered how gaariyaasha ku maraan jidadkaas, and not ku xumaadaan. Waaba weydiiye some drivers even. About the food, waa excellent. Particularly from Andalus hotel maqaayadda ku taalo and Safaari hotel as well. Bakaraad hotel has great tea and cappuccino. Xiddig hotel's shaah as well. Caano geel ayaaba lagu caddeeyaa shaaha meeshaas. And about Barakaad and nighttime waxa ka dhaco. I had been to it, and hoteelkaas ugu fiican waxaan arko, though ugu qaalisan. I guess Barakaad was one of the few hotels dadka seexdo meeshaas afaarahooda daba galin. Other hotels wouldn't, dad waalan leh, oo haddaadba qol ka raadsatid first question ku weydiinaaye, "kaligaa ayaa tahay soo ma'aha?" Iyo: "Qof kuu soo booqanaayana laguuma ogola, siiba dumar, waa ogtahay soo ma'aha?" What the... They repeatedly ask you questions like that, particularly Shariifka hoteel at 7th Street.

One can watch that channel live on here. Saado Cali is singing a peace song now. It is a non-classified kanaal, wax walba soo saaraayo.

And it was in mid and late '90s. we could have phone chat since the text chat is down on SoL. Everyone call 218-339-2500. and let's make our own room number. how about Ext. 916. I will be there for 30 mins if anyone is up this early and wants to chat...I'd be there for 30mins before I hit bed. Subax wanaagsan. See ya 916

Sababta uu magaca iskaga badalay maxee tahay. Magac jumlo cusub la keensaday. "Abuujini" iyo "Abuujacburis" ee la bixi jireen maaku filnaan waaye.

Dhubad, I think sadex banki branches ka badan inay ku yaalaan u maleynaa. I had seen two Gulf African ones iyo hal Barclay. Kuwa kale inaa arkay waa jeclahaay laakiin. Fufu, Shiineeska aa sheegeysid maxaa waaye? Shiines kuma arkin meesha, inkastoo reero wareejiyo jidadka wada taagan, oo meeshiiba lama mari karo. Runtaana waaye, Islii sagaashameydii balaayo ahayd. Laakiin Illaaheey amarkii hal mar ii muuqdey gabdho badanoo aad u qurxoon oo dibada jilbaab la'aan ugu soo qaxay. Tii yarayd waanba ka ag haadey. Markiibaan lambar uruuris bilaabey. Meeshaas bilaash loo gishtaa jilbaabka. Maalinta la yabay waxee ahayd at 12th Street, kasoo horjeedka Barakaad hoteel, laba gabdho Soomaaliyeed xijaaban isku rifaayo, right infront of me. Dadka, Soomaali u badan, wada fiirsanaayo. Ma'ogi inay nuursadaan mee rabeen mise wax kale since jilbaabkii iyo wax walba la iska wada tuuray. Haddaaba dhex galay, xoog ku kala fujiye, kaalayba haddana kala celi. Mid sadexaad oo labada dagaalamaayo midkood la socotay, lana safan, iigu sii daran. Kulahaa, "Adi maxaa waaye, isku dhaaf nooh hala dilee isboorkadaas qumayada ah..." Mar labaad isgaleen. Finally, yarka kale ila socday dukaanka kasoo baxay oo xoog ku kala fujinay. He wasn't reer Nayroobi either. Dadka Reer Islii ah wada fiirsanaayo, anagii ku cusbeena kala celineyno. Yaab. Soomaali naxariistii ka dhamaatay. Horta is Jam Street still there? Jaamka wuu balaartay oo xaafad dhan la dhahaaba maanta. Masaajidkaas at the end of the picture aad ka aragtid its minarates waa Jaamka meesha uu ka bilowdo.

Reer Kanada u egtahay qofta. Don't know. Something 'Canadian' about her iiga muuqato.

Qaladkee gali jireena waa la iskaga aamusnaan jiray waayadii hore because cadowga ayaa dalka joogay. Not anymore again. Wax aan loo dulqaadan karin ku dhaqmaan. They are increasingly behaving like a despot, with their downright dictatorial and authoritarian ways. Forcing 70-year-olds grandmothers, for example, to wear jilbaab, some who can't handle it in the heat of Soomaali climate is completely way out of line. If you hear the horrible actions they commit in the areas they control from the victims themselves, magacooda maqalkiisa ku dhibi lahaa even. Waa cawaan, wax ay diinteena suuban Islaam ka ogyihiin maleh, ka ahayn jihaad, jihaad iyo jihaad. Their atrocious actions and frightening un-Islaamic ways, if not abated soon, waxeeba ku sigan rabtaa inay diintaba dadka nacsiyaan mar dhow, runtii. Meel ay gaarayaan ma jirto, only taking the still unrecovering country of Soomaaliya and innocent, poor war-weary Soomaalis' blood down with them, intee isleeyihiin meel ayaa gaareysiin. They have no political plan whatsoever for the country. Eebba ha idmee meelna ma gaari doonaan.

Wuxuu isku qaldooyaa u maleynaa Soomaaliya iyo Sa'iir [Zaire]. Laurent Kabila ayaa lagu dilee aqalkiisa madaxeed.

Originally posted by Dhubad.: I think both guys are incompetent, inexperienced and way to soft to deal with the tricks and the maneuvers that these guys are posing. I have listened to Sh Shariif last night on BBC, he was practically begging......"Maxay dagaal u qaadaayan, maxay rabaan" lol “we need to talk” is not an answer to this problem, he needs to come to the table with concrete measures when it comes to AMISOM .They bit off more than they can chew! If I was a poor father, worrying about what I have to feed my five children and their mother daily, and living in the midst of this aimless dagaal, I would have loved nothing more than to hear, to soothe my war-weary soul -- and that would be words of peace. Soomaali kii gacan adag oo macangag ah ma jeclo. Kii xagjir ah ma jeclo. Kii u af macaan ma jeclo. Kii u roon ma jeclo. Kaa aragtid wax ayee ka sheegayaan. Kamoon. Xili dadka loo dulqaadan jirin waa jirtaa, siiba kuwaan soo weeraray asaga iyo dowladiidsa, still one does not need to lose one's mind. Shariif in uu nabad keeno loo doortay, and xataa hadduu dagaal socdo words of nabad should not be forgotten. It is not weakness. It is not karti la'aan. It is leadership, qof yaqaano ayaa yaqaanee.

Villa Somalia should be demolished to the ground, since The Elected President of Somalia was assasinated this place What assassinated madaxweyne?

647. Waa horena 519. Go google.

A bunch of men wearing indhoshareer with no vision and no hadaf? Barbaartaas foolka soo daday ee lasoo siray haddee ogyihiin tan Soomaali iyo Soomaaliya kusoo socoto, xabbad ee tuuraan iska dhaafee waa hore ayee iskoolaadka ku noqon lahaayeen iyagoo qalinkooda wato, oo dalkooda mustaqbalkiisana iyaga sugaayo ogaan lahayeen. Haddee ogaan lahayeen caddowgooda koowaad iyo labaad inuu ku faraxsanyahay see isku dilayaan, isku xasuuqayaan, isku baabi'inayaan, jihaad beenaadkaas ey wadaana uu kula faraxsanyahay. Haddee taas lee ogaan lahayeen. Waxaa u naxsanahay tan Soomaali haddaa nahnay nagu soo socoto iyo tan dalkeena kusoo socoto, waaba hadduu jiri doono dalkeena. Maanta ayee ka bixi la yihiin anaa Isteeshinka Yaaqshiid heysto iyo anaa Istaadiyum Muqdisho ka taliyo. War maala isdabaqabto.

That is Gaarisa Looj, on the left of where it says Bangkok Shopping Mall. Gaarisa Looj (Lodge) is where it all started in early '90s. I very remember the days shushumoow iyo macmacaanka kale lagu gadi jiray, and the night looj u ahayd dadka waxaas gadi jiray meesha.

Hokey, I admit. The title is a bit stretching the usual definition of slum. And the most expensive is a bit obvious superlative. However, it is still dirty, dirtier and dirtiest expensive residential and commercial area in Nayroobi. A three-room (included is the living room) -- and on Islii parlance, a 'room' is any enclosed space that is about ten feet across and 15 feet in length -- goes upto $500 a month for rent. It is more than highway robbery. It is a daylight robbery. Islii is not not new to me, oo si fiican isku naqaanaa. Laakiin marba marka kale kasii dareysaa. Darn it. It is a place where hygiene and sanitary practices is on another parallel universe, unknown; where garbage is collected by jokoro boys and then immediately dumped at the very front gate of the same building, after they took what they find valuable. Amazingly, though, it seems sometimes garbage collects itself since that very dumped garbage at the front of the gate, you won't see it there on a few days later. Don't get me wrong. I like Islii. It is where my Soomaali folks live and thrive in business-wise in Nayroobi. Laakiinse waxee tahay waa in la sheegaa. Eniwey, enough with my nacnacdeydaada. Indhahiina ku arka see meesha u egtahay http://img521.images hack.us/img521/2528/ islii8.jpg

What is the difference between the isbaarooyinkii Xamar yaalay and those new bad-based isbaarooyin? Dadkii isbaarooyinkaas Xamar daadsanaa maalin walba ku dacaayadeyn jiray dadkaas dhiganaayo ayaa maanta u dhoolacaddeynaayo isbaaradaan baddeeda ah dadka sameynaayo, oo waliba afduubanaayo maraakiibta Soomaaliyeed xataa. What gives? What is the difference? Mise mid lacagta shisheeyaha ayaa bixinaayo miyaa, oo waa 'xalaal'? Isbaaro waa isbaaro, bad ama dhul ha ahaatee. Mööryaana waa mööryaan, mise laba kun shilin Soomaali isbaaro haku xoog qaato ama laba milyan doolar.

Pardon my unneeded interruption, but what did your many advices to C/llaahi Yuusuf accomplish in the past?

One would have laughed at the ludicrousness and farcical of this thread if it weren't the tragic events that is taking place Xamar Caddeey these days.

War ninka yaa lagu gooban, see waaye. Aaweyna reer tolkiisa, tol la'aan aa meesha ka dhacdee.

My dusty town is better than your dusty town. Kaba sii daran many of those towns don't even have a single decent road, let alone wax kale lagu sheego. Eesh caleeg Soomaalida qaarkood.

at Alaska. Sadexdaas "halyeey" dhexda ku jiro iyagana waala baafinoyaa. Mid last time warkiisa noogu dambeysay asagoo madaxweyne isku sharaxaayo. Kan kalena asagoo kuwa kasoo horjeedo dowladda qabteen lana sii daaye. Kan sadexaadna garka kala firirsanyihiin warkiisaba dhawaantaan lama maqlin.

Sadnimo wey dhaaftay oo ciil ayaa ku qabanaayo now.

Dhiig maati Soomaaliyeed iyo Muslim iska daadanaayo, dagaal iyo halgan meel u socdo iyo ka socdo la garaneynin. Walaahi waa yaab. Eebboow.
