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. I might be heading there in a month or so, what are the good night clubs? There are no nightclubs in Eastleigh. But if you wanna explore Nairobi's nightlife then got to Westland(a neighbourhood in Nrbi, locally known as Westy). There you'll find the most popular and booming clubs in one junction. That place rocks at night. And you may meet Nairobi's finest in everything, from chicks to hammers. They've Red tape, Pavement, Rezorus, Black diamond all opposite to each other. You'll surely find many khat-chewing maryooley sitting in their cars. Mark that they only drive tainted Toyota corollas although it's a no no for other kenyans to drive such cars in a posh area like westy. Casablanca(in Hurlingam if am not wrong),with arabian taste, is worth visiting too. But you may pay a visit to Simba saloon in Canivore (Langata) to get a state of Africa's wildlife, from crocodile meat to ostrich oil. This is a serene and a quite restaurant suitable for a night out. Next to it is kenya's famous canivore night club, though outdated lately. Ar Sheekh Sharmaarkena maxaa baray night clubs? Waa wareey. Nayroobi has some good, pretty appealing coffee houses. I had been to all three in the tourist area of downtown, just besides the Hilton hotel, who all are isku wada dhow. One of three, Coffee Pub, is owned by Soomaalis. The other two being Java House iyo Dormans. They reminded me Williams Coffee Pub in Koronto.

Even ayeeyooyinkii ayee jilbaabka ad adag ku qasbooyaan according to my hooyo who went earlier this month to degmada Waajid, a town controlled by dhalintaan wareersan. Eebboow. Waa wax wareersan diinteena suuban hal iyo laba waxee ka yaqaaniin jirin.

Geedkii orod lagu fuulo orod loogu soo dagaa. Of all people, they, waa kuwaas dhalinta la baxee, should have been aware of that fact. Tii ku dhacday 2006 wey ogyihiinee.

Soomaali haddaan nahnay maba jeclin haddii nala soo faragishto arrimaheena. Haddii faraha nagala qaadana still we complain. Intee naloo raacaa marka.

Thus spoke the 'general.'

. Waayo waayo kale.

Sidii naag xaamilo oo toban iyo toddobo sano dhali la'. Buuqeeda iyo quuqdeena dadka kale guriga kula nool qaraabadeeda ka joogi la'. Ama u ekaa cunug suu afka u kala taagaaye, diif iyo dhareerna isku darsaday oo baroorkii kasii dhamaaday, qof maqashana jirin ka ahayn walaalahiisa la joogo; koo shisheeye soo dhumay markuu kusoo dhaco meesha, laba ninacna siiyo cunugaas oo qeyladiisa la yaabanaa, diifkiisa ku cunaayo ninaciina farax daraadiisa. Berina isla meeshii ka bilaabaayo baroorkii diifka miirnaa. Waxaas ayaa 'distinguish' la dhahaa? Hayeba hala sii wato geeraarka ooyineed.

Maxaa lagu qosloyaa in this thread. Dad daacdaacsigii ka batay oo ka damqaneynin walaalahooda Soomaaliyeed dhibka heysto iyo dhiiga ka socdo. Unbelievable.

Toloow dadkiinaan hada H&M and Zara sheeganaayo, I wonder intee laga adeegan jiray pre-2004? Intee kalee, Jacob iyo Mexx nooh. Mise International Clothier ahayd? Yaa kuu sheegaayo hee. Gabdhahana probably at Fairweather iyo Costa Blanca lee. Cunuga kulahaa. Kaas hadduu cunug yahay, anigana nuune aan ahay.

Ninyaaban iyo qolkaas maxee isku arkeen taloow. Kuusha, gadaal ka gaarta aaba loo baahanyahay toogtaan.

Jaamac mosque at downtown.

Always waa pleasure to see halyeeydaan usoo halgamay dalkeena. Aabiyaashii Gobonimodoonka, indeed. Eebba ha u wada naxariisto, oo janadiisa Fardowso haka waraabiyo inta geeriyootay, aamiin, aamiin.

But, they assured me, they could put Internet on my phone. I sat in the airy second-story customer service center, surrounded by a whirring bank of computers, while the guy worked on my phone. He fiddled with it for 10 minutes before I realized he had no idea what he was doing. When I walked over he was staring at the keypad blankly. "Have you ever programmed one of these before?" I asked. "No," he said finally, and handed the phone back apologetically. So the BlackBerry has yet to reach Somaliland. But it will. Soomaalida qaarkood indha'adeygooda. Inay qirtaan wax aynan garaneynin habeenkii xaley tagay.

The webmasters of Dayniile, Hiiraan, Waagacusub -- you just name them -- read this forum as well. It is not only the Soomaalis -- non-Soomaalis as well, and not less being than the heavyweights of The Guardian, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune and BBC. BBC used to recommend this site on their site whenever they reported Soomaaliya news.

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 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.

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.

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.
