I have my reservations about this poll. Wax ayaa si ka ah, not to mention sadex boqol is just wax aad u yar to represent entire Soomaalis as a scientific poll. Kun qof la garay at least.

So, sister, you also "understand" the murderer who murders a person? Do you try to be objective and "understandable" of where he is coming from? Every action, particularly negative ones, has or can be attributed to any poor excuses. The murderer has a reason why he killed the person, even those in manslaughter. His flimsy excuse can range from the killed person was not the intended target to should not have been there in the first place -- you name it. No need to contextualize or even try to understand. Abortion is abortion, and should've to be considered as despicable as a murder, after all it is soul, which has a divine right to live in a full life, what is been killed or "aborted." Always have that in mind.

Why was this event politicized? I can't believe it. All I see from the pictures are all Soomaalis, from every stripe and group, wajiyo badan aan kor ka aqaanana meesha ka muuqdo. Meesha dhan Soomaaliweyn iskugu timid, to raise funds for a humanitarian project. Nothing to do with politics.

"We [government] came to Mogadishu with power and we are here now...this is a great accomplishment," President Yusuf claimed. Powerka la sheegaayo yaa i sharxi karo taloow? "We came with power" kulahaa. Mise kaare Xabashi la saaranyahay awood la mooday.

Democratic candidates gain support abroad US presidential candidate Barack Obama has generated broad support in Afghanistan, while Somalis would prefer to work with his Democratic rival Senator Hillary Clinton. These are the findings of a survey conducted by the international think-tank, The Senlis Council, in Afghanistan and Somalia in March and April. According to the think-tank, the results of this year's US presidential elections are "critical to both countries," as they are both "strongly affected by US policy". When asked which of the presidential candidates they would back, 69 percent of those questioned in Afghanistan favoured Obama, while 26 percent were in favour of Clinton. In Somalia, 47 percent of civilians surveyed supported Clinton, while 44 percent backed Obama . "What we are seeing is that Afghans have overwhelming support of Senator Obama because they are attracted by his promises to bring peace and end the war in Iraq," said Norine MacDonald, president and lead field researcher of council. "Most interestingly, we found unified support for Senator Clinton amongst Somalis associated with the Islamic courts, and the extremist parts of the community. According to their perceptions of Senator Clinton’s character and experience, she is best suited as a partner to build peace with Muslims." Somalis said that Obama would avoid engaging in Islamic issues because he would be vulnerable to allegations of being overly sympathetic to a Muslim viewpoint, given his family’s Islamic background. Obama is the son of a Kenyan man and a white woman from Kansas, who met and married in Hawaii. Divorced when Obama was a child, his mother then married an Indonesian man and the family moved to Jakarta for four years. Although his father and step-father were Muslim, Obama is a practising Christian and attended secular and Catholic schools. "Obama will not be able to deliver a positive working relationship with the Muslim people. The US people are very suspicious of his Muslim background and if they see him in a room with Muslim leaders they will not trust him to represents US interests,” said one of the respondents in Mogadishu. The strongest support for Obama in the Somali community came from those most closely associated with the Somali government. In Afghanistan and Somalia, there was little support for the likely Republican nominee John McCain. In both countries, support for Senator McCain was very low, with just 5 percent of respondents in Afghanistan and 9 percent in Somalia opting for the Republican nominee. “McCain is no different to Bush at all. We would be very concerned if McCain was elected," said a businessman from Mogadishu. "The whole world is looking to the US to bring back the dignity and morality of the US." According to the Senlis Council, the interviews both in Afghanistan and Somalia, showed a keen interest in the US presidential race. "The interviews revealed a high level of awareness amongst Afghans and Somalis of the upcoming US presidential elections,” said Gabrielle Archer, policy analyst at The Senlis Council. “Their knowledge of the candidates shows that people in both countries realise the significant impact that the choice of US president plays in their lives.” In offering a message to the next US president, peace was an overriding concern amongst both Afghan and Somali respondents, refuting any perception that ordinary Afghans and Somalis are interested in perpetuating their own conflicts. “Afghans and Somalis alike want to pursue peace,” said Archer. “They hope the next president will see the vital importance of support in both Afghanistan and Somalia as an integral part of US foreign policy.” A total of 388 people were interviewed in Afghanistan in the cities of Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar City and Lashkar Gah, while 302 Somalis were surveyed in Mogadishu, Baidoa and Hargeisa . The series of interviews were part of initial research that precedes a comparative study of the insurgency and politics of both countries, which will be released on the 23 April in London. The Senlis Council is an international policy think tank with offices in Kabul, London, Ottawa, Rio de Janeiro, Brussels and Paris. Xigasho

Burcadbadeedkaan kuleel iyo qaboob ma igu haayaan, and I am sure many Soomaalis saas camal la tahay. My only concern is that markee attack gareyaan maraakiibta hay'adaha gargaarka u adeego, oo Soomaali baahan raashiin iyo caawinaad kale u wado. As well markee maraakiibta ganacsatada Soomaaliyeed leh isku dayaan inay qabsadaan. Anything else in Soomaali waters, to me, is fair game. For long ayee baddeena waxee doonaan ku sameynaayeen, haku shubaan sun, malaaygeygana ha iska dabtaan without paying any loyalties. I am sure waa hore joojiyeen kuwaas, now baddeena is the clearest from any foreign fishing boats probably in whole of Africa.

ONLF and the separatist Somaliland. The separatist ONLF has more legitimacy than the latter for the glaring fact that the Somalis... Whom are they separating from? I thought Xabashada inay dhulkeena ka kiciyaan ayee u dagaalamoyaan those halgamiyaal women and men. Marka our brothers' and sisters' struggles and liberating our land from Xabashis cannot be considered a 'separatist' struggle. Dhulkeena ayaa soo ceshaneynaa. Do not speak or write like a Xabashi, iyaga ayaa waxaas camal dhahee. I know the term slipped from your tongue, but kuwa ka fiican ayaa use gareyna kartaa, since this one makes you qof dhanka Xabashada kasoo hadlaayo, from their occupying position. ----------- Abtigiis, run ahaan haddii loo hadlaayo dad ayaa jiro jecel gobolkaan inay ugu wacaan magaca qabiilkooda, just because qabiilkooda inay maqlaan jeclo. Wey jiraan, waana qabiilistiyaal. Dadkaas camal ayaa undermine ku sameynaayo halganka jabhadda maadaama Soomaalida kale iyagaba qabyaalad u ah cudur, the slimiest excuse u raadinaayo. Jabhadaana has my ultimate support. Eebbana ha u sahlo hangankooda -- aamiin.

Originally posted by Hayam: this is so exteremly unethical. when you argue for abortion as a woman's right to have control of her own life and body at a crucial moment of their lives is something else. What is 'women's rights' about killing an innocent child, whose no fault of her/his own to come to this world? And what about the child's rights? Does s/he not have any right to life, a right to get born, live at least the life his conceiver wants to live? Nothing "something else" can justify about abortion: Abortion is an abortion, aborting a life as though it was some robot or computer program. And what is even more ironic is that, in this society, once a person is born, that person has a right to necessity of life, a right to be provided by their caretakers. Same with mentally challenged people, elders, handicapped, et cetera. The caretakers who neglect it will be charged criminally.

Simple letters ayaa lagu badalay miyaa sheekada. "B" "F" "K" "S" or "O"??? Naga kale yareeya magaca qabiilka, baliis. You can call that region Soomaali Galbeed, a neutral name. It is simple and adheres the site's policy of not allowing explicit qabiil names. That rule does still exist, if some of you forgot. Same with using letters that stand qabiil names. Yes, it is an innocent term and Western media use that term, yet if we allow this qabiil name on that region on this site, marka maxaa ka dhihi doonaa dad inta ku jiro haddee isticmaalaan Bari's former colonial name, which was named after a local qabiil in that region? or Jabuuti's? We will have no answer for it but being hypocrites.

Bal ka waran those few misguided Soomaalis who believe the more mythical and unsubstantiated grand fantasy of Soomaalis originating from Carabs [who are Semitics]? Kuwaas ayaa ka daran kuwa aaminsan Kushtik inay yihiin. Kushtik is not per se about ethnicity, it is classification of languages and loosely related cultures. We are Kushtik in that sense. The closest people to us Soomaalis on this Earth are Reer Diinle [Rendille], Canfars and Oromos, whom we share closest to from language to cultural costumes. We also share with them the closest distant biological DNA. They -- not Carabs -- are the only non-Soomaalis nearest to us, according to scientific research.

According to Abu Mansur, the Ethiopian government wants to eradicate the Somali Shilling and replace the country's currency with the Ethiopian birr. Feeri, feeri plausible.
