Soomaali dhan oo Soomaaliya degan ayaa duli iyo silacnimo ku nool, laakiin saxariirnimada waala kala daranyahay. Masaakiintaan camal. My God. I remember how Soomaalis used to stereotype [some cruelly calling them dadqalato] this hard-working community back home in pre-war time -- only because instead of mindlessly following a camel, a cow or a goat into hundred kilometres a day, or being farmers or fishers, they decided to be hunters. That was their only crime. _______________ SOMALIA: Plea for aid for "forgotten people" NAIROBI, 16 July 2008 ( IRIN ) - Officials in Somalia's Middle Shabelle Region have raised the alarm over the plight of a community of drought-stricken hunter-gatherers there, who are in urgent need of food and water. "We have visited four villages and what we saw was heart-breaking; the villagers were cooking `aramo’ [green leaves normally used as a laxative] for food," Badir Mahammud Ahmed, the regional coordinator for humanitarian issues, told IRIN on 16 July. He said a team of government officials and aid workers had visited the villages of Doonka Haarey, Bowdo Gaabo, Damalka and Gaawey, with an estimated population of "1,500-2000 families” (9,000-12,000 individuals). The villages are populated by the Eyle community, a hunter-gatherer people looked down upon by most Somalis. Ahmed said until their visit, the affected people had not seen a government official or aid agency representative for 18 years. "I would call them Somalia's forgotten people," he said. "They are an unarmed minority and it seems they fell into a hole and no one sees them." Abdiqani Sheikh Mohamed, a local journalist who accompanied the team, told IRIN that the situation of the Eyle community was "appalling". "I have seen hungry people but I have never seen anything quite like this." He said the women were cooking `aramo’ and the children were eating `hamur’ and `muryey’ (types of wild berry). "That was all the food they had, nothing else." Nothing to hunt He said the people depend on hunting for their livelihood, but there was nothing to hunt, as the game had either died, been over-hunted or migrated in search of pasture and water. Ahmed said all the water points in the area, which is about 50km north of Jowhar, the regional capital, have dried up. "They have to walk 15km to the nearest well to get water." Ahmed called on relief agencies to come to the rescue of these people. "The entire region is suffering from a combination of drought and high prices and needs help," he said, "but the Eyle community needs help more than anyone else at the moment." Mohamed, the journalist, agreed. "There are hungry people all over Somalia, but nothing can compare to what we saw yesterday [15 July] in those villages." Ahmed said the priority was to get food and water to the affected population. "The health conditions were very bad and also need to be addressed," he said. Aid workers estimate 2.6 million Somalis need assistance - a number that is expected to reach 3.5 million by the end of the year if the humanitarian situation does not improve, according to the UN.

I think Libaax had in mind qoftaan. Hmm...

Shiirkiisa ayaa ka batay meesha, kistoo fresh leer ayuu soo qaadanoyaa, as per prescribed by a renown dhaqtar -- Dr. Waaw Wiifoow. That is all. Be patient, folks. He is on here, just not posting, too.

Goormuu Nuur Cadde a problem ahaa? Maskiin dan wanaagsan wado waaye, but nin boosaneero ku dhacay ma carfo, si walba barfuun ugdoon ha iskugu shubee. Same with Nuur Cadde and dowlad ku sheega uu galay.

I third that. Peace, dadkaan Tom and Jerry isku bursanaayo ma kala dhex dhexgali kartaa hee? Mise bakoorad u baahantahay? Seriously, Oodweyne and Che, hala kala roonaado, same old aflagaado soo celcelinoysiin. Haddaa isfahmeynin hala kala gambisto, wareer ma jiree.

Our sister, Fartuun Abuukar Cumar, trying her best to represent our country in the last Olympics. Unfortunately, waxaan nimanka xataa kala jabinaayo [and waxee cuneen only Eebbe knows] ayee damacday inay la tartanto oo saf la gisho. Tii ka dhacday four years ago Eebbaa ogaa, oo last gishay. Still, she tried her best. Taloow intee ku dambeysay walaasheen. Ma isdhiibtay after the Games?

Of course, Xaawo iyo Aaden ee iska galaan, soo saas ma'aha Che? I don't think folks that live there would allow any DNA testing, kalsooni saas weyn iskuma haayaan.

Shocking waxaa ka daran dagaal weyn bilaaban lahaa, especially knowing maryooleey because now that the myth dadka isku keeni jirtay as a "father figure" tol ahaan meesha ka baxday. Tolba naftaa imaan lahayd, waxee isku sabsabi jireen kala haaye meesha ma yaalee.

If we were Reer Hindiya or Bakistaan, adigaa lagaa rabi lahaa inaa wax bixisid. Not only that, waa inay reerkaaga arooska qarashkiisa badankiisa bixiyaan as well. Now, that is a culture. Soomaali culture is good though, not only does the groom or his family has to pay meherka, most of the wedding's cost, but also soori and whatnot to other members of the bride's immediate family.

I can understand objecting men like kuwa seeflaboodka not supporting running a country like ours, but diinta dhan? Waala wareereen markaas hee, haddeeba diinteena suuban lala barbardhigaayo ama la simaayo diimaha kale, siiba tan Masiixiga. Reer Yurub iyo Galbeedka kale dhib ayee kala kulmeen diintooda ee Masiixiga ah, inay ka saaraan qaanuunka ee ku dhaqmaan ee ku qasabtay, anaga taas mid na quseysana ma'aha. We never had issues like that.

Baddacas, ma maseertay adigana? "Millions?" Anigana awoowgey keensanaa, oo kasoo faractamay Qubrus. Unfortunately, meydkiisa Qubrus ayaa loo qaaday lagu aasayna. _______________ Originally posted by Che -Guevara: ^If there was a sole progenitor, all his males descendents could easily trace their ancestry through Y-chromosome which remains mostly unchanged from one generation to another.

With my short stay in these forums ( i just joined recently) I haven't came across any and the things some of the forum posters spew here are way out of my league and could be classified as hate speech, hate mongering and quite simply ignorance. It effects me and I sometimes lose my senses and become numb. Here we have some guy killed and one beats drums of war, accuses whole community and wants blood. There has been blood and there will be blood! but do you know how to make peace, how to not blame whole group of people for the act of one or few bad apples? how to not paint whole community in one brush? There is one way to deal with this. Simply ignore posts and threads like what you are describing. Believe me, waxaas dhan maba la aqriyo, because it would be too much to realize crap like that were uttered or written by a so-called Soomaali. Soomaali dad ayee Soomaalinimada u tahay shaatinimo, dantooda iyo danta tolkooda kaliya markee jirto magaca Soomaaliyeed iyo dalka Soomaaliyeed huwado, marka kalena qashinqubka ku daro.

Aah, Mr. Eenoow. Not again, though about this dude. This guy is a bit well-known, Soomaalida iskool Ingiriis lagu barto kulahaa too, oo dad badan Ingiriis soo baray. He, however, wrongly believes dadkiisa inay all the time victim yihiin, oo la caburin jiray. He may have a point, but wixiisa waa too much. Some of them even believe -- or try telling other uninformed non-Soomaalis -- in iskoolada loo diidi jiray. What the...? they do understand somali but most somalis dont understand them.....they speak af maay... Afmaay is Afsoomaali, the other branch being Afmaxaatiri. Same like those "Bantus" in Shabeellada Dhexe, Hiiraan and Qalaafe, who speak Afmaxaatiri, the people called "Bantu" in Shabeellada Hoose, Gedo, Baay and Jubbooyinka speak Afmaay, where it is the land they reside where the dialects are spoken at. And not all the "Bantus" are from some other nations. Some of them are as native to our country as any other Soomaali. Isku wada mid ma'aha, siiba kuwa dego Shabeellada Dhexe iyo Hiiraan. Kuwa Jubbooyinka ayaa recent arrivals ah, some of them who to this day retained their native tongues from other African countries. but from what i do know (and inshallah if im mistaken please do correct) is that the somali bantu's are also known as 'midgaan' or giireerka Yes, you are mistaken. "Bantus" are not ethnic Soomaalis, whereas the other is. Jareer and the other derogatory term is not interchangeable, either. P.S. - I am putting a quatation mark on the "Bantu" word because we Soomaalis never called them a word or term like this. It is a recent all encompassing term, coined by non-Soomaalis.
