On a related note. I am no fan of any team, laakiinse tii Chelsea ku dhacday shaley wax madaxa kugu xanuunayo ahayd. I can understand the pain felt by any fan of that team. I would have loved to see Michael Ballack winning a major trophy. Maskiinkaas aad u ciyaaraa, una dadaalaa, yet waligiis koob ma qaadin, albeit coming closest to many of the major trophies. Igaarkaas nasiibkiisa lee xun.

I had been silent on this issue, until at least I gathered the facts. I met the BBC reporter from Kenya, Catoosh, in Nayroobi and he mentioned the fact Norway inay ka dambeyso isafgaradkaan, kana caawineyso baddeena in been been lagu xado -- all because in the name of oil under our sea, which Norway holds interest. He further mentioned waa hore socotay arrintaan, sanadooyin and experts from Norway, doing some surveys under the Kenyan seas, realized the oil, after all, is located under the Soomaali ocean's shelf. Kenya dhulka iyo baddii NFD xoog ku heysato ku filnaan waaye, haddana dhulkeena oo noo haray noogu timid. Ninkii cimrigiisa raago geel dhalaayo waa arkaa horey loogu maahmaahee. So-called Soomaali politicians, especially those who signed, had been tricked, probably unaware the scientific research of what they were signing to. (I can't believe any reasonable Soomaali would sell an inch of baddeena, inkastoo Soomaali hunguri ku waashay naga buuxaan.) How dare can they sign something even C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed dared not to sign. (Yes, it is true, he refused to sign the so-called memorandum of understanding agreement, though how he refused and why is never known.) Read on. ______________ Kenya oo Qarammada Midoobay u Gudbisatay Xogta Rasmiga ah ee Baddeeda: Badda Soomaaliyana ka Goosatay 116,000km2 Marka la xisaabiyo cabbirka badda ee Kenya u gudbsiay Qarammada Midoobay, waxaa soo baxaya in Kenya ay cabbir ahaan gudaha u soo gashay dhulbadeedka Soomaaliya oo bedkiisu ka badan yahay 116,000km2 Dawladda Kenya ayaa Arbacadii (May 6, 2009) waxay Qarammada Midoobay (QM) u gudbisay akhbaarta rasmiga ah ee cabbirka xuduudaha badaha ee ay doonayso in loo sharciyeeyo, cabbirkaas oo wada khariidado. Qoraalka si rasmiga ah ee Kenya gudbisatay waxay ku caddaysay in xogtaas gudbinteeda ay ka qayb qaateen Mr. Harald Brekke (oo ah reer Norway), islamarkaasna ah laga soo bilaabo 1997 ilaa hadda xubin ka ah guddiga go'aanka ka gaari doona xadaynta badaha adduunka. Waxa kale oo Kenya ka caawiyey gudbinta akhbaartaas Dr. Karl Hinz, oo ah Jarmal, xubina ka ahaan jiray guddiga xadaynta badaha intii u dhaxaysay 1997-2002. Kenya waxa kale oo ay sheegtay in akhbaarta ay gudbisay ay sidoo kale ka qayb qaateen: Xafiiska Madaxeynaha Kenya, Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda Kenya, Xafiiska Sharciga, Wasaaradda Deegaanka iyo Khayraadka Macdanta, Wasaaradda Waxbarashada, Sayniska iyo farsamada Casriga ah, Wasaaradda Dhulka, Hay'adda Kenya u qaabisan Batroolka, Wasaaradda Tamarta iyo Jaamacadda Nairobi. Waxa kale oo Kenya sheegtay in ay xogta diyaarinteeda ay ka caawiyeen Xoghaynta guud ee Barwaaqa-sooranka Commonwealth ee London iyo UNEP barnaamijkeeda qaabilsan qalfoofka qaaradda ee GRID-Arendal iyo Qarammada Midoobay qaybta u qaabilsan Badaha iyo Sharciga. Sida ku cad qoraalka rasmiga ah ee Kenya gudbisatay, waxay ku andacootay in baddeedu ay soo dhex gasho gudaha badda Soomaaliya. Si ay arrintaas ugu qurxiso Afgobaadi iyo jaha wareein, waxay sheegtay in sidoo kale badda Kenya ay isdul saaran yihiin badda Tanzania, laakiin ayey tiri, Kenya iyo Tanzania waxay xadka badda ka heshiisyeen July 1976. Waxaa qoraalku ku adkeeyey: Kenya iyo Tanzania waxay heshiis ku ahaayeen xadka baddooda laga soo bilaabo 1976. Kenya oo sii wadatay qoraalkeeda waxay si qeexan u sheegatay: "Labada dal (Soomaaliya iyo Kenya) waxay kala saxiixdeen Qoraal isafgarad (Memorundum of Understanding "MOU") markay taariikhdu ahayd 7dii April 2009 kaas oo u ogolaanaya, ayey tiri, dal kasta diidmo la'aan (no-objection) uu xogta la xiriirta cabbirka xadka baddiisa wixii ka shisheeya qalfoofka badda u gudbisan karo Guddiga Xadaynta Badaha ee Qarammada Midoobay.

Ar buufis badan Islii meel la dhahaayo lagama waaynaayo. Maxaa la isla qumanyahay oo la fiyooweena.

Heestii Binti Cumar Gacal lagu tumanooyaa meeshaan.

Nothing wrong with your magac, laakiin koo Afsoomaali challenged ah yuu ku moodin inaa wiil tahay since magacaaga saa'id ugu dhowyahay Sabriye. Soomaalida wiilasha ula baxaan Sabriye (I know the important difference of the letter "a" at the end, laakiin ogoow lee). Soomaali names wax dhaamo maleh, and before we -- waa Kuusha iyo aniga -- preach, anagaba magacyo Soomaali dhab ah ma wadano.

That African Village (magacaan xasuus badan uu u leeyahay Reer Kaasabalbalaare) aad iyo aad usoo jiisadasho leeyahay. I only hope, however, in public land laga dhisan.

Aaliya, maxaa, indhoole maa tahay, LoL? The back of that 4x4 has a little billboard, wrapped around the spare tire, that declares, "I support single mothers." I just found it interesting, since particularly that issue meeshaan all the time loogu dooda. Blessed, I, however, support single mothers for another whole reason. Ah, I am not privileged to share that.

I took this picture while at a Tim Hortons' drive-thru some four months ago. I couldn't resist not to take a picture of it. I support single mothers, too.

You have a good taste miskiinka, ana waxaan islahaa duqu waa primark generation Is that the UK version Walmart? Duqaan does indeed have a good taste in style, ee wali kama bixin suuqa nooh. I have all kind of hats and shirts from this store... Hats is one the main reasons as well. I think I do have some six of them, bought from H&M. Also the other reasons being their reasonably cheap, yet at the same time very stylish polo shirts and shirts. Some of their casual shirts are amazing in quality. No wonder that dude who ku heeso that song bought his green polo shirt in that video from H&M. I saw it at an H&M store last year.

Of course, qof u qalmo waaye. Wah. Bas waaye, Kuusha, caawa laga bilaabo loogu wacaa magacaas. Heersare suu u yahay lee, uu dhagaha ugu macaanyahay. Mayee xudunta uu ugu macaanyahay dheh.

Dankis abaayadiis. Eebbe hakaa abaalmariyo, aamiin.

Am I the only jaamac who is a bit extra fond of this store and its brand? War, waa iga dhamaatay. Sometimes I see myself wearing from top to down in all H&M wear. Waaba isla yaabaa. Saas waligey dukaan ma uguma noqon. I have to admit, though, every cent that I had spent on their stores were worth what I bought. An H&M store in central Toronto.

Eebba caafimaad dhan haku siiyo, Kuusha. Hopefully you are feeling good, already. Say hello to the little Princess A. (Magaceeda ayaaba ka helaa, waa magac cajaa'ib ah. Makaa deensan karaana, qoftoo inaa u baxsado aan rabaaa. Copyright fee commission waala bixinaa, too. )

Originally posted by Al Zeylaci: Excellent point! I agree with everything you have said. They have only commited " war crimes" in Somalia. Amnisom was only doing the minor crime of, " assisting Ethiopia to achieve its objective of occupying Somalia and denying the Somali people.......... ". Btw, those aren't my words, you know. They are the words of a certain sheikh with a white kufi - who wrote a letter in protest to the UN, complaining about the conduct of amnisom. Let us find some other minor crimes, shall we? MMMMM, say the bombardment and shelling of civilians on purpose? The least I could find was them mowing down 40 Somalis on a minibus. And if I search, I could find plenty more crimes. Say for instance, the way they harrass muqdisho fisherman and shoot guns at them to scare them or how one of their soldiers took advantage of a young somali girl and impregenated her . Or perhaps how our neighbourly Afrikaan bratharis insult our religion and women by claiming IN THEIR national newspapers that a coaliation of SOmali women in Uganda asked the government to send troops to their couuntry, praying and complaining " “Since the UPDF left [the Democratic Republic of] Congo, we have been praying that they invade our country next. Just when we thought Allah and the African Union had answered our prayers, the selfish Ugandan MPs throw a spanner in the works . And how they are supposedly gagging to ride wid dem Ugandans soldiers: " “ Our Congolese sisters have confided in us that the Ugandan soldiers are good marksmen, both on and off the battlefield. These are precisely the kind of men we need ,” the Somali women said( so these dogs claim)". And apparently here is what one of your African brothers thinks about the Somali mission: "A man claiming to be a UPDF soldier told The Analyst that he was itching to go to Somalia “and you can bet my eagerness has nothing to do with the ruthless Somali warlords”. He said that from what he had seen in the pictures, Somali women appear to be even more beautiful than the Congolese". I suppose he did not listen to his president who said warned against " illicit love affairs with somali women But what is the significance of these crimes and insults, when they are deemed to be minor because, " wax saas ah u galabsan shacabka Soomaaliyeed", by some soMALIS themselves? These are all "excuses" concocted from the imaginations of Arab-inspired mullahs who are fighting against our broud, somali, Afrikaan- daqan, eh? That is about all I could find with a few minutes of googling. Ma saanaa daacad ka aah, and in addition want me to refute waxaan? Waxaa fiicnaan lahayd inaa si fiican, aad iyo aad waliba u fasiix ah inaa u fahantid waxaa qoray intaa casharkaas leyliga dheer aad iska soo qoreysay. Ma meel aan dambigee galeen ku diidaayo ayaa jirto, waa ciidankaan Midowga Afrika ka socdo. I just wrote it is misleading (and it is very true) to compare them to our historical archnemesis, the Xabashis and their atrocities and inhumane cruelty that they committed and still commit against Soomaalis. My other point was, even haddee baxaan, to those who are opposed to them, they don't have a political action plan. It is just an excuse of many that will follow. If they leave tomorrow, they will just name another long list of tired excuses that will never end. (What will be their next excuse? No dumar in the parliament and in cabinet. It is possible they will say that.) Wuxuu Caydiid rabay ayee rabaan to start -- which inay ciidamada ka baxaan dalka. UNOSOM left and what happened? Every one knows what the tragic result was. Some of us Soomaalis have short-term memory, particularly with so-called leaders and their no plan Bs in most political cases. We just repeat what we have witnesses throughout our history -- recent and distant past. Teeda kale, Soomaali iyadaa maalin walba isxasuuqeyso oo aanan kala hareynin, oo dambiyada bini'aadenka ka baxsan isku geysto. I guess we should also demand those who commit those brutalities to leave our country.

Iyada haddee rarantahay oo "mileage" saaranyahay, adigana xaa kugu raran oo ku saaran? Bus iyo boor?

Waa dhab. Siiba waxaa la yaabaa kuwa la simo ciidamadaan fara ku tiriska ah oo wax saas ah u galabsan shacabka Soomaaliyeed to Xabashadii la ogaa tee dhigeen. It is not only wrong and misleading reasons to compare the two, ciidamadaan cadowtinimo soo jirto nagama dhaxeynin, mana naga dhaxeyso; dhul Soomaaliyeed ma heystaan; dagaal waligoodna mana dhex marin; and finally, xasuuqii Xabashada galabsadeena ma galabsan, kuna jirto waxee Soomaali Galbeed ka dhigaan ilaa iyo maanta. Meelahooda iyo xarumahooda iskaga jiraan ciidamadaan Midowga Afrika ka socdo. Ciidamadaan danta yaa nagu kaliftay inay na dhex joogaan, oo anagaa heshiin weynay 20 ku dhow, ee yaa waxba marmarsiyo tan ugu weyn laga dhigan. Haddee xataa beri baxaana marmarsiyo kale imaaneyso. Waa sheeko ciyaaleed, ee ma'aha macquul siyaasadeed ku dhisan. Waa taas gurmadkii adduunweynaha soo gurmadeen ee 32 dal -- Muslim iyo gaalba ah ka koobnaa -- ka socday dalka imaadeen horraantii sagaashameyada. Mid kamid ah qabqabliyaashii kuwa ugu awooda weynaa waagaas ha naga baxaan yiri, lana dagaalamay. Dantiisa buu watay. Markee baxeena maxaa dhacay? What was the result? Kuwaan waa saas camal. Dantooda ayee wataan. Wax isbadalay maleh, shaati diimeed bas la wataa oo lagu gambanoyaa. Dad ayee dagaal lee ka heysaa. Walaahi waa yaab. Fursad hala isa siiyo ma jirto, oo waxa hala arko meeshee ku dhamaanayaan ama qofka wuxuu lasoo shirtago oo siyaasadeed. Ama i dil ama waa ku dilaa waaye. Wax kale maleh.

Unugaa yaab aragnay. Xaa la iga rabaana oo galabsaday.

My name happens to be a chance. We had an honourable old man who was a bit fond of Cabdi names. After naming our two eldest brothers Axmed and Maxamed, he went right straight to business of naming the remaining 11 brothers of us Cabdis. Two have since acquired to be known more of their nicknames than their original Cabdi names. I just happened to be another Cabdi..., though of all those Cabdi names named my brothers, mine is closest to my character.

at the title.

This sister quoted it best: “ Nin naagtaada raba, gabartaada ma yeelo ” My mother summed up the current impasse in Mogadishu by quoting this proverb.

CEEB-of-the-century 1: Who knew you had to wear googaraad with your diirac sheed..i thought it was thick and opaque and no one would see your undies and legs--apparently not..sunlight+googar ad-la'an = really pissed of nomadfolk... I for one have no qualms dirac without goorgorad; in fact, I welcome it. To those who objected, waa iska reer miyi. Don't mind them. From now on dirac kaligiis ku soco, nothing else hoos ku jiraan, dadka kalena yee ku wareerin.
