Maxaa ku qosleysiin? The dress is not that bad ka ahayn koofiyada, ookiyaalka, sigaarka, jaakadaas jiiniska caddaatay, well beside those waa iska caadi. Maxaa harayba dhaha.

Reerkooda samir iyo iimaan, marxuumadana Eebba ha u wada naxariisto -- aamiin. Soomaali masiibooyinka wey ka dhamaan ladahay, but hopefully waaka bixi doonaa one day.

All these beauty descriptions are coming from hibo mohamed lol.. and she says luqunutayda dheer..what luqun? lolo..Ilaah baa samaystay, i am not gonna comment.. What are you suggesting? Hibo Nuura waa foolxuntahay? Yaah, yaah. Ar dhaaf qofta.

Let me introduce myself, I am a girl and I am an only child, and a Somali lol. My parents (Allah bless them) and I have a very close relationship, not only are they my parents but also close friends. Anyhow, not to bore you, whenever people ask my mother/father, after seeing me and then the manshallahs, comes the question: How many kids? Marka loo jawaabo, haltaan gabar, you would think someone died. "Hal ka liiah"? Marka hore soo dhawoow. And being an only child to your parents is a bit rare in Soomaali family settings. As a son from a 22-siblings family, I don't know how it feels being an only child. Aabahaana waa raggeedi not listening the garbage those people spew, suggesting in uu guursado naag kale. Castro ayaana kasii daran on here. Segis iyo segsi labadaba beel.

Whatever happened ideas and heated counterpoints [some pointless] that were known in this section? What is this personalization -- threads about members of SOL -- of this section lately? Kamoon hee, aqiyaarta. Meesha abaar siyaasadeed maa ka dhacday, oo wax laga hadlo maala waaye? Same old recycled news bites waa laga daalay, aha? Weary laga noqday miyaa? Waa wareey iga dheh.

No matter how torn our beloved country has been for the past 18 years, we can never ever forget our history, our independence, our halgameyaal, and etc...Although, our brothers and sisters are suffering back home, we can not let a day like Kowda Luulyo just pass by quietly!!! Insha'allah one day Soomaali oo dhan way toosi, wayna isku tiirsan, keena taagdarana weynaan taageeri...Insha'allah... Marxuum Cigaal maa ka hadleysaa? Edna Aaden Ismaaciil looks quite elegant in the image, though. Really, "qofkaas" ma taqaanaa? Yaa waayena, for he looks very familiar nooh. Ar aamiin to your duco. Hopefully qaxarkaan iyo rafaadkaan iyo ibtiladaan iyo masiibadaan dhamaantood one day waa laga baxaa. We have hope and we will never give up this hope, Eebba hanoo garabgalee. Happy Kowda Luulyo once again, Soomaaliyeey. Never despair what is currently happening in our country to discourage you not to celebrate. Every and each nation on this earth had its challenges, some even more greater than what we had ever faced. Some faced extinction of their nationhood, their people, their overall heritage; some still are facing this greater challenge.

Leave the legend alone. He is one-man show, and all Soomaalis of all walks of life jecel heesihiisa. And what he opined as nin jecel dalkiisa is true, wah. Every daljecel would have said exactly the same thing. Xabashi ayaa gumeysato dhulka Soomaaliyeed badankiis today, directly or not. Why uu Hargeysa ugu darin, though? I don't know. He might meant Xabashi military presence instead of indirect proxy they do in Hargeysa. And unlike C/qaadir Jubba -- who likes to say "I don't sing at the weddings because I have some principles" islaweyni daraadeed -- yet does attend parties where the division of Soomaali people are openly encouraged and where separation is a celebration. Not so our cultural living icon, Xasan Aaden Samatar, even xataa thousands of dollars loo balanqaado.

Yaa loo kala dhiibay xilalka hee?

ancient Somali culture or it came to us through Islam Dumaal is dhaqan Soomaaliyeed, and I don't think it has to do with any other culture. Likewise uma maleeyi Soomaalida dhanka Islaamka inay ka keeneen. Probably waa pre-Islamic tradition. Ereyga dumaal ayaaba ka garanee. We in this so-called modern world may never understand, laakiinse no questioin about it that it worked during its time and might still work. I don't think anything wrong with it, as long as labada isdumaaleyso isogolyihiin. I hadn't hear hebel or heblaayo ayaa la dumaalay in ages, though. The reason it declined has to do with three other reasons, I guess: Dhaqankii geeljirnimo ayaa aad u yaraanooyo, oo magaalooyinkii ayee dadka dagayaan; kuwii Galbeedka ku koray ama arkay, meeshaana 'ilbax' mooday ayaa si qalad ah ugu fahmay; kuwa kale ee wadaadada cusub ah qarnigaan soo shaacbaxay, iyagana who have their own reasons, probably thinking since it might not be Carab culture, might then be un-Islamic, waa iyaga Carab ka dambeeyee.

Geelka, yee ku waalin, saas ka wadaa, aniga, iyada iyo adigaba saas u wada fanahay, ee wax kale booto kuu galin warkeeda ha u bixin. Heestaa raadinoysid Gilgilo ayaa la dhahaa, tan Xasan Aaden Samatar ka hadlooyaa. Ar shaley he was a special guest on Beenbeensii [err, BBC Soomaali] and a whole hour dedicated to him, oo wada interview iyo su'aalo weydiis iyo sheeko nololeedkiisa ka sheekeynayeen. Soomaali dhana meel walba kasoo wacaayeen, su'aalo weydii. Ninka waa daljecel weyn, dalkiisa aad u jecel.

Soomaaliya will rise once again, Eebba ha idmee, and images like these will not be unusual. Dey heybo markee madaxdaada leeyihiin maxee dalkeena iyo dadkeenana heybo la leeyihiin. Dey laba walaalo isku soo noqday, seena ugu faraxsanyihiin isaragooda koowaad. Of course waa Marxuum Max'ed Xaaji Ibraahim Cigaal iyo Marxuum C/llaahi Ciise Max'uud, Eebba ha u dambi dhaafee.

The seventh time Kowda Luulyo u dabaaldagooyo on inta. I know, I know xaalka dalkeena ku suganyahay, but that would never keep us at least acknowledging this historical day of ours. Never, regardless how some dimwits and stooges ka dhigeen dalkeena. We would not give up, as our forefathers did not indeed. They survived in 60 years of colonialization. Indeed, we can from this new Xabashi occupation. First fact they want us is to forget our history, starting from the struggles our forefathers did. Happy Kowda Luulyo. ----------- A very emotional and subdued Soomaali legends singing the full version of Soomaaliyeey Toosoo. It is very touching, ee marka fiirso.

Ani maalintii fud la isoo siiye waa shiiraaye, ababaliina. Tii i qabatay first lahayd iga qabta, iga qabta kasoo hartay urka daraadeyda lee nooh. Yaa igu qaldoysaana, ciyaalkii Carfoon oo udgoonta lagu dhalay? Bar iskeerso.

Was talking to hooyadey early this morning in Baydhabo. Xudur ayee qabsadeen i tiri Shabaabka today, same time markee galeen Beledweyne, but ka baxeen a few hours later after hubkii ka qaateen degmada. Though from the tone of her voice, uma bogsaneen kuwaas. I really don't blame my sweet hooyo since dadkeena dalkeena ku sugan are especially more war-weary, really, oo waxee nabad ka rabin, ka jecleen today ma jiraan. Eebba ha u gargaaro dadkeena, walaahi. Saan haddii lagu socdo hal hal u siibaneynaa, magaca Soomaaliyeedna meeshaba maku hari doono haddee dadkiiba harin.

Money, heesaha Banaadiriga see u iloowi kartaa, macalinka. The songs may seem, to faradheers and maryooleeys, not to be that explicit on the first look of reading or listening to some of them, but, darn, some are -- hmm. Markee ku heesayaan: Shaq shaq Wareejiyoow Hurguf Ma inee masafo galey buunshadeeda laga daadinaayo ka hadlaayaan maa mooday? Tan kalena ah: Beydaankaa Soo hoobiyee Halahoo isii Midig ka dhaw Bidix ka dhaw Sii, sii malaboow Sanjab, sanjab Midigta iyo bidixda la dhawaayo, of course, intee kale waaye hee? Wah, no need to sharxo. What about that one where Castro in sarcastic way was seeking its translation. It went: Ani lee baraakadaa Ani lee baraakadaa Bukeen karaayee Ani lee bukeen karaayee Baraakada la bukeenaayo ma tan guryaha la saaro maa mooday?

Che, Reer Koronto xaa laga sheegay maqashay? Ebidkaa ma timid? Meeshaan balaayo waaye, haddee ku waalin, adigaa iska waalan doontid. Majnuun, mashalaaye, manaxe, macaacle, maxaa'igagalay, manoole, marmarle, mashiixe, makace iyo kuwa ka daran waa wada joogaan. Malika ayaa aragtay this city ee weydii waxee kala kulantay.

Awdalnews Network makes exceptional decision in publishing this opinion article in Somali language. This, however, should not be taken as a departure from our standing policy of not publishing opinion articles in Somali---Editor. Maxaa jiro afkeena Soomaaliyeed af laga yaxyaxo muu noqday? Ar maxee dadkeena qaarkood dad kale ismoodeen. Policy kulahaa, faarabuuto dheh.

Qabiil-wise ula jeeda ninkaas kaa koreeyo, Garhayoow. I don't know how he got to this conclusion. N.B. -- This is a Soomaali struggle, not a particular qabiil's struggle. Soomaali Galbeedna Soomaali dhan ayaa wada degan. Do you believe in Soomaali Galbeed xoog lagu heysto by Xabashi, Koora?

I was not blaming anyone, my brother. Was just asking those questions out of no where. Sorry if I digressed from the intent of the thread.

Well, go ask what really name-changing did in Congo Free State, err Belgian Congo, err Congo-Léopoldville, err Congo-Kinshasa, err Congo, err Zaire, err Democratic Republic of Congo, err...and their ever-changing flags as well.

Taloow if Barakaad -- which overwhelmingly dominated the xawilaad business until its closure in late '01 -- still jiri lahayd, Dahabshiil ma see hadda tahay ayee ahaan lahayd? I think he was one of the few Soomaalis who was smiling when Bush regime unfairly closed down Barakaad and its subsidiary companies.
