I reposted those threads' original posts, for some wrongly assumed the intention behind the deletion was intended for the Ciise's and Labaxaniinyood's original first posts in their respective threads than what followed, the insults that contained within. Also I did not delete the original threads, but it came to my attention and I tried, on my own initiative, to correct the perceived assumption of power abuse some were complaining. The deletion has nothing to do with the original first posts in the threads, hence why I reposted it. We didn't do it because of fearing some backlash or whatnot. We did it to correct the mistakes. Some of us rushed to prejudge and assume otherwise without first aynan hubsan wax. We needed to correct that, that was all. The intend of this thread was that, not a venting one against SOL or its Moderators. ----------- War MMA, while digging for topics deleted, I need my 2003 post that was deleted without it being explained back... We needed some comedic, light lines in this thread. As always, Kuusha comes to the rescue. And yes, I will bring back your old thread too as well. Let me retrieve it from google. Hala iscafiyo, and thanks sharing your views with us. Wa salaan. NB - Labaxaniinyood, I cleared my PM.

Actually some of them are highly educated people, i.e. Axmed C/salaan Aaden iyo Saalim Caliyoow Ibroow; some even are technocrats as well [Xaamuud being a long-time cabinet member in Siyaad's regime, including holding the finance minister portfolio]. MMA, now you consider yourself more of Canadian than Somali, and if an opportunity arises, would you go in for your country of origin? Ar sharciga kale ee wadamada kale ka heystaan ma'aha ee waxaa waaye the problem they are too many of them. If the heat gets too hot, reerkooda u cararayaan, maalin iyo habeena horey iyo gadaal u socdo, diyaarad ku jiraan. Soomaaliya does need a dedicated, sacrificing people, not leisurely vacation iyo a few extra dollars dad raadinaayo.

MMA As long as the Mods and Admins have learned from this fiasco and change their attitude then everything is fine. Good luck coz I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. This is a public forum, and all the MODs are volunteers. Qalad iyo wax kale wuu dhacaa, wuuna dhici doonaa. Qalad is not intentional. We are now trying to correct our mistakes publically. ------------ Originally posted by Laba_Xiniinyood: MMA, Why was my post deleted? I do think same mistake with Ciise's original thread happened to your thread as well. I did not delete it, but however wixii dhacay waa dhaceen and I will explain the rest in private. However, I retrieved your original post through google and, with your permission, allow me to repost it now. [This thread now seems like raaligelin mid noqotay. ] My Encounter with the President's Wife... There she stood, bored stiff and looking rather lethargic in her oversized grey coat and flowing multicoloured dresses. A scarf rested on her head and the silver rims of her gigantic spectacles reflected the bright fluorescent lights above her head. A weary look was plastered on her joyless face as she surveyed her surroundings at Terminal 3, Heathrow Airport. With an aura of inherent monotony she lifted her feet and managed a few steps before returning and leaning against the wall. I stood by Miller’s Cookies, awaiting the arrival of my cousin, observing her and her entourage. Beside her stood a young girl of dark complexion – her hair, dark and straight, was split into two at the centre and covering her ears. Pulling her shabby black overcoat tightly, she folded her arms and walked to and fro in her dowdy jeans, herself seeping of insipidity. She managed a smile or two, though she would have been far better off without it. She can neither be described as the sort of woman whom a man may be enticed by her physical appearance or admire her sense of decorum nor the sort of woman whom anyone may attempt to love - even accidentally or in jest. And that’s when I looked around for him. I looked for him, expecting to see, at any minute, his wretched appearance and those vile hollow eyes that exuded a personal ignominy and betrayal of a whole nation. I rummaged through the hundreds people, the multitude airport shops and my entire surroundings for the abhorrent soul that had sold my land and my people. My eyes searched frantically through the horde of people, probing the area for the creature but to no avail. He was not to be seen. Instead, I was pointed to his personal body guard, Cabdullahi Dheere, a repulsively corpulent chap, rather bulky than brawny for such a position. He walked in his slothful penguin-like steps, with his feet pointing either sides of his burdensome body, towards the information screens at the seating area, a few steps from where I stood observing them. My nephew who was with me, an acquaintance of the corpulent chap, was greeted by the lot and were engaged in a conversation. I stood, several feet away. My conscious would not allow me to make acquaintance with them or greet them. I felt a personal pride in distancing myself away from the progeny and family of the traitorous individual. But had he been there, I wondered, what would I, a rational man, have asked him? What would I have done? Where would I have started? I did not know… What would you have done? What would you have said to him? p.s For those of you, the deranged souls, who thought of my 'Encounter with the President's wife' as being something else and entered here expecting some repulsive story, hadaba Ninba si buu wax u arkaa! - Welcome to Somali Politics.

"We have interest in fighting terrorism in Somalia, as well as in the Horn of Africa.... Anybody who has an interest in a more peaceful and democratic Somalia has a role to play in this process." Weyneyso maa u baahantahay wax ku aqrisid? Don't you see it, read it? In a plain language, they are saying they will talk to anybody who is fighting their so-called terrorism war IN Soomaaliya. They are also saying they will welcome anybody who wants to advocate democracy in Soomaaliya. Be it Riyaale or Jinoole. Washington will recognize wax faa'ido iyo interest u keenaayo, not wax dalalka kale allies la tahay ka xanaajinaayo, sida Masar, Sacuudiya, Talyaaniga, pretty heavyweights, I tell you. Safka sida kalena waa dheeryahay, dad hore idinka wada horeeyo, marka Washington soo aqoonsato Kosovo, Taiwan, de facto states where many nations already recognize officially and unofficially, markaas ka dib xoogahoo in separatists in Soomaaliya lasoo fiiriyo laga yaabaaba. Markaasna waaba adduunyo gadoonkii markii la gaaray. Meanwhile, shimbiryaaloow heesa iyo madadaalada iskaga jira. And what does Carabta has to do with this thread? Mareykanka maa dal Carab noqday now?

What kind of cir is this? Orange-yellow? Cirkiina saas maa loo ekeysiiye, photoshop lee iga dheh.

Adaa mudan, duqa. We just don't need, however, to rush into judgement, though. Kistoo in la hubsado ayaa fiican xaalka than rushing to judge. Unintended mistakes do indeed happen, too. Anyway, I just posted this advisory thread in the Moderators' Office section a few weeks ago, advising and reminding myself as well my fellow moderators. It exactly deals what happened in that deleted thread. Let me repose it on benefit of all SOLers to see and know we strive to do our best. -------------- Moderating is not that easy, especially a one who moderates anything involving with Soomaalis and mid Soomaalida waxee qoraan qof masuul ka ah. Saas oo ay tahay and nonetheless, sometimes it is not that simple to moderate as best as we, though, try to be. One such fact is -- some of us delete whole posts and threads than the offending parts. This is not generally a good moderatorship. Deleting the offending parts within a post is. Deleting the whole post, especially if it only has a minor offending words and especially if it is a long one, it is not considered a good moderatorship to delete the whole post. Same reasoning with the threads. Some threads start with a good faith and some are 'controversial,' and, expectedly or not, there will be a flame-up wars and trolls. We sometimes delete the whole threads, instead of the offending posts within the threads. People do give both their time and energy to compose posts and threads, so we need to have that in mind when we delete or edit posts and threads. Also some of the 'offending' words within a post may not be that offensive to one addressed or perceieved to be insulted at. Some are intended as jokes, though may apparently seem not to when glanced from in another way. It is all about seeing the little things before we rush to delete or edit. It is a little courtesies like these that make the forum exceptional and friendly. We need to be a bit more sensible, lest others assume -- Eebbe forbid -- that we the MODS are abusing the responsibility that comes with it. We need to be a bit more courteous and considerate of others.

I knew a considerable members of the so-called baarlamaan of this dowlad ku sheeg were holders of foreign baasabooro and with dual nationalities. I also knew the latest rubber stamped "cabinet's" new members were holders of various Western passports, such Xaamuud [Australian], Axmed Cabdisalaan, Jangeli [Canadians], Fahmo Axmed Nuur [swedish], but never realized the vast majority of them were holders of various nationalities. Eleven out of the 15 named so-called ministers are Western passport holders, so are two out of the five so-called vice ministers. Read the list bellow, with the passports they hold and nationalities of other countries they and their families live in brackets. --------------- Inta badan xubnaha xukuumadda cusub ee Soomaaliya oo la ogaaday in ay wataan Baasabooro ajnabi ah Xubnaha Xubnaha Xukuumadda cusub ee uu soo dhisay Ra’iisal Wasaare Nuur Xasan Xuseen (Nuur Cadde) ayaa waxaa u badan yihiin kuwo heysta dhalashada wadamo kale oo ay qaxooti ku ahaayeen ka hor intii aysan ka mid noqon Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya. Wasiirrada ku jira Xukuumadda cusub ayaa waxay badankood yihiin Muwaadiniin heysta dhalashada Wadanka Britain, halka ay jiraan kuwo aan heysta dhalashada wadamo kale oo ay ka mid yihiin Australia, Canada iyo Finland. Laakin waxaa jira Xubno tiro yar oo iyagu weliga heysta Baasaboorkii Cagaarnaa ee Soomaaliya ama midka cusub ee casriga ah, kuwaasi oo aan fursad u helin in ay dalka ka baxaan, isla markaana ay soo qaadaan Jinsiyadda Wadamada kale, waxayna kuwaasi yihiin kuwo laga keenay gudaha Baarlamaanka. Marka ay intaas taagan tahay ayaa dad badan oo Soomaaliyeed waxay su’aal ka ka keenayaan sida ay wax u qaban karto Xukuumad ay Xubnaheeda labo Baasaboorlayaal yihiin iyo sida ay ugu damqan karaan dadka ku nool gudaha dalka Soomaaliya ee aan iyagu dalka ka bixi karin haddii ay ka baxaana ay qaxooti ku noqonayaan dalka ugu soo horeeya oo ay tagaan. Baarlamaanka Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa waxaa horay loo sheegi jiray in ay xubnahiisa ku jiraan kuwo sidoo kale labo Baasaboorlayaal ah, kuwaasi oo marka ay cabaar ka qeybgalaan fadhiyada Baarlamaanka kadb dib ugu noqda dalalka ay Jinsiyaddooda heystaan, halkaasna ay isaga soo meyraan wixii walaac ahaa ee ay ka qaadeen dhibaatooyinka aan dhamaadka lahayn ee ka jira dalka Soomaaliya.

The original thread, titled as above, was posted a few days ago. Unfortunately, as I learned later, within the same day fellow SOLers exchanged some insults, thus facilitating its deletion, which should not have happened. Courtesy of our brother Ciise/Paragon/Jamaal, a fellow long-time SOLer himself, here is a complete, satirical piece, reposted fully. [NB - We can take criticism very well, especially constructive, positive ones for it comes with the package of moderating, particularly amongst maryooleys. Being thick-skinned should be part of the volunteering. Mistakes do happen, too.] --------------- Yay some say, and others, Nay! Yay say, supporters of Yeey Let him stay! Long live Yeey! Oh nay and never, opponents say He cannot stay! Not even a day! Say all you want or even vent! Yeey’s our beloved president! Whom none shall ever prevent! No he’s not, not our president! The man’s simply Meles sent! He’s a killer, evil and hell bent! Yo admin, isn’t this your site? Calling Yeey evil can’t be right! Edit the posts and make it right! Otherwise we may have a fight! Yo admin, just ignore these fools None of us broke the site’s rules These guys are the simple mules Meles and America use as tools We aren’t mules, tools or stooges We’re heroes acting as bridges Helping people living in the edges Bring them all on peaceful ridges No, you are just the evil minions!

NB - Koley in gadaal la iska afxumeeye u maleynaa, ama dhacday aflagaado, still the culprits' posts should have been edited, than instead the thread's original post itself. It is unfortunate when this happens, wiping out the whole thread, instead deleting or editing the offending posts within.

It was early one morning in July when 400 Ethiopian soldiers came to Ridwan Hassan Zahid's village of Qorile, 120 miles southeast of Degehebur, Ethiopia, a dusty market town. The small settlement of ethnic Somalis in eastern Ethiopia was suspected of supporting separatist rebels from the ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF), and the government troops were out to exact revenge. They took Zahid, another woman, and eight men to the nearby village of Babase, where, she says, the soldiers chased away residents and burned the village to the ground. "I became like plastic," she says. "I couldn't feel a thing." On the third day after her capture, the soldiers divided the prisoners into groups. As the other captives looked on, soldiers hung one man from one of the parched region's few trees; another was taken out of sight. Soon it was Zahid's turn. A small group of soldiers dug a hole in the sandy ground. They forced her into it and pinned her down by pressing the barrel of an AK-47 to her throat. As she tried to choke out the words to a final Muslim prayer, she heard two other captives screaming for mercy nearby as a noose was slipped over her head . Two soldiers jerked up on the rope, lifting her out of the hole by her neck, and she lost consciousness. ------------ The conflict has been visible enough for Ridwan Hassan Zahid, who miraculously survived her would-be executioners. Left for dead, she was found the next day by Somalis from a nearby village who came to bury the corpses. The other nine were not so lucky. Some had been hung from trees, others hung over holes in the ground like Zahid. Some of the men had been stripped naked and their tongues had been cut out . Zahid hid in the countryside for three days, but eventually she was told the army had learned she was still alive and was searching for her. Then began a two-week odyssey on foot, camel, and finally by truck to safety in a neighboring country, which she asked NEWSWEEK not to disclose. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Waxaa kasii xanaaq iyo caloolxumo badan Soomaali ku sheega u sacabtumaayo Xabashadaan, oo Soomaali kula sheeganaayo.

Ka fiirso the big picture than the current challenging one, which sooner or later, hopefully, laga wada bixi doono. Soomaalis functioned fine, hundred of years. We also functioned fine in a modern, democratic state. We can once again function and join the peaceful, civilized nations of this caalam.
