It is unfortunate, the slow declining of historical Baardheere town. Now, its heart, the buundo that linked the two parts of the town as well as the wider region of Gedo, NFD and Jubbooyinka is broken. Buundadaan gumeysigii Talyaaniga ayaa dhisay, dowladihii Soomaaliyeedna cusbooneysiiye and the final renovation took place during the UNISOM years of early '90s. ------------- Baardheere 14 Oktoobar, 07 - Waxaa Gabi ahaanba go'day buundadii degmada Baardheere ee gobolka Gedo, iyadoo gabo ahaanba ay istaageen gaadiidkii iyo dadkii ka gudbi jirey buundadaasi sida uu ku soo waramayo wariyaha shabelle ee gobolka Gedo, Saalixi.

[ The literature you are about to read is divided in four parts. Its contents are based on facts and fictions. The players are the stakeholders of Somali politics and blights: Ethiopia, warlords, fadhikudirir, ICU and the rest of the world. ] Cabdiqaadir Aaden Jangeli Oktoobar 13, 2007 Who spoiled Ethiopian Dreams? Part II After a week Minister Zirrow and his advisors met again in his private, red, sound proof room attached to his executive office in Addis. They needed to wrap up last week’s agenda regarding Somalia’s destiny. Zirrow : I spoke with a dozen head of states and I explained how Somalia is important to our region. I emphasized how we, Ethiopians, care about Somalia and how we would never accept a divided Somalia. Therefore, I accentuated that Somaliland not be recognized as an independent state. I reminded them that Somaliland’s desire can influence a lot of people in Africa. It can lead to a very dangerous precedent, and it is not in the interest of our region, or Africa as whole, to have nations continue to split. Girgis : Mr. Minister, did they buy it? Did any one of them raise their eyebrows and question your sincerity for Somalia’s unity? Zirrow : Girgis, you need diplomatic training. Heads of state do not argue or go into detail about their concerns, especially if you are a regional power like us, or a global power like the USA. In case of a misunderstanding, they do a follow up to see how the matter is resolved. The main leaders I was interested in were Mr. Ghelle and Mr. Moi. We know Mr. Ghelle’s position and there is no need to put pressure on him about Somali unity. Although, he has only been in office for 7 or 8 months, I believe he will follow in his uncle’s footsteps for supporting Somali unity. We have different goals, but we are taking the same route. As for Moi, I think we should all be clear that no Kenyan leader would oppose an Ethiopian leader’s agenda, especially when dealing with Somali affairs. I gave him a signal about our intention, because I want him to be part of our program. My worry is, he is getting old and he will not be able to keep such important information secret, but I’ll try to coach him about Somalia’s issues when we attend regional or International conferences. I also pointed out to those head of states, that it would not be fair to ask or compel Somaliland to attend any of Somalia’s reconciliation conferences. Somaliland is unlike Southern Somalia, it is a peaceful place that is flourishing in every aspect, so there is no reason for them to deal with the warring factions in the south. Asfaum : Yes, Mr. Minister it sounds good. But, did you contact Mr. Blaise Compaore? Girgis : Who is Compaore? Asfaum : He is the president of Burkina Faso and the current chairman of the Organization of African Unity. Zirrow : Why should I contact him? He should contact me; the Organization of African Unity is Ethiopia and Ethiopia is the OAU…Capisci….Just think about why the world affairs is run by the USA. Girgis : Because the United Nations headquarters is in New York. Zirrow : And...? Girgis : And OAU Headquarters is in Addis Ababa; therefore all African affairs should be run by the way we want them to run! Zirrow : Bravo Girgis, what else do these two cities have in common? Girgis : Both have Mercato … Italian mercato Tessafa : No, both are full of incompetent diplomats! Zirrow : Wrong, their names have the same meaning... New Flower. Barhanu : Well, Mr. Minister, thank you for your report. It is very encouraging! Also Tessafa and I contacted most Somalis who we believe can play a role in helping us reach our goal, but we did not contact Mr. Egal. We left him for you Mr. Minister. He is a heavy weight, and as you know he is a shroud politician. He can easily figure out our intentions... Girgis : Ah! Is Mr. Egal different from other Somalis? Barhanu : YES!! Girgis : How? I thought they were all the same! Asfaum : Brother Girgis, please save your breath. Not all Somalis are as predictable as you think. You will be amazed to know that many of them are proud of their national-hood; especially those who fought for Somali freedom and independence decades before you were born, like Aden Abdulle Osman, Abdirazak Haji Hussein, and Mohamed Ibrahim Egal. Girgis : Sorry, Tassefa told me they all have a clannish mentality and as long as we support their kin, they will forget about their subsistent state. Tassefa : Kahkahkahkah... Yes, I explained to you how clans are more important than their nation, or even their religion, but you have to take the qualities of each leader into consideration. Girgis : Yes, yes, Tassefa you are right. But let’s get back to business. Mr. Minister, are you going to talk to Mr. Egal? Zirrow : About what? NO! I am not talking to him. He has never directly requested that Ethiopia recognize Somaliland, so why should I open that door. Let it be in that limbo state. Anyhow, most observers see him as a national figure and they say he has not yet given up on Somalia. Right now, we need to focus on men who we know are on our side. Girgis : So let us discuss the criteria for these “good” guys? Barhanu : Yes, if the Minister allows me, I would like to lay out the most important traits for the gentlemen we want running Somali affairs for the decades to come, until it ceases as a nation. Zirrow : Berhanu please continue. Barhanu : Well, these men: Must have ambition to rule. Must be merciless. And they must be truly loyal to us. These three characteristics are key, but there are a couple of other elements that we need to consider for the selection, like past performances in the civil war, and clan compassion. Zirrow : Very good. I believe together we will make history, one that has not been achieved in this century. We must be confident, firm, and uncompromising in our goals, so help us God. Tassefa : Before you close the meeting I would like to share some intelligence coming from Hargeysa regarding Mr. Egal’s call for Somali reconciliation. He is planning to meet some prominent southern politicians to explore hosting a national conference in Hargeysa. Burhanu : That is not a good sign Mr. Minister. If we let Somalis have a conference, without our input, it may end up as successful as the one in Borama. They can easily reach some sort of agreement and understanding, which could lead to a functioning central government. Zirrow : Mr. Tessafa, will you please contact all the warlords, especially the diehard ones, and warn them about the danger glowing from Hargeysa. ------------- Historical Facts : In September 1999, while President Mohamed Ibrahim Egal was exploring the possibility of national conference in Hargeysa, President Ismail Omar Ghelle attended for the first time the UN conference as President of Djibouti. In his speech, Mr. Ghelle, suggested to the UN General Assembly that a conference should be held to plan for the rebuilding of Somalia. Unlike, previous conferences he wanted to give a chance to the civil society: Diaspora, elders, intellectuals, business communities etc. Mr. Ghelle informed his plan to colleagues and members of OAU, EGAD, Arab League, Islamic Conference, EU and so forth and requested support for rebuilding Somalia. He decided not to wait until the regional and international colleagues responded to his appeal; instead he called citizens of Djibouti to host a national conference for Somali reconciliation. Hundreds of Djiboutian families vacated their homes to accommodate the conference attendees. With zero or little help from outside, Mr. Ghelle succeeded to open the conference in Arta in May of 2000 to over 2,000 attendees. Another Meeting Called Again Mr. Zirrow and his advisors met in their usual meeting room for a quick briefing and to also find out the progress of the Arta conference. Zirrow : Please give a round of applause to Tessafa for the good job he did about the Arta conference. Girgis : What did he do? Zirrow : I was telling the whole world that we are supporting Ghelle’s initiative for Somali reconciliation, while Tassefa was revealing the opposite to our good guys. He called them to boycott Ghelle’s conference. Girgis : Wow... so Mr. Minister are you telling us that Tassefa’s word was heard better than yours? Tessafa : Hey...hey... Girgis stop joking around! Can’t you decipher the Minister’s expressions? Burhanu : Mr. Minister, how about Arabs? Are they supporting Arta’s process? Girgis : Who cares! Have you ever seen a problem that an Arab has solved?! Assfaum : Yes, Algebra...kahkhakahkahkah. But seriously speaking, we cannot forget that Somalia and Djibouti are members of the Arab League!!! Girigis : So what? If the Arabs care about Somalia they would have helped to solve their crises a long time ago. The Arabs are incapable of solving even a small issue, like lifting the ban on Somali livestock, which is crucial for their economy. Zirrow : Well said Girgis! Sometimes your bluntness amazes me… People don’t like the naked truth, but after all it is the truth. This meeting is adjourned. Remember that in the next meetings we will be devising a strategy to destroy any outcome of the Arta conference. ----------- [The players: First Minister Zirrow of Xabashi state, with his top trusted advisers: Berhanu, Wolde, Tassefa, Asfaum and Girgis.

Gaalo madoow can be any gaal that is "madoow." Since the ereyga 'gaal' has the same roots and meaning with geel and was referred, by Soomaalida, to Oromadda, who have had plenty of geel/gaal in those days. Or probably Oromo called themselves gaalo then, but some disapprove and dislike this word now since some groups use it as a derogatory word. It is a pre-Islaamic term, applied to any shisheeye Soomaalida encountered. In those eras, the most furthest shisheeye Soomaalis had encountered were Oromadda and Oromadda were called gaala, as some still call them. When the Soomaalis embraced diinta Islaamka, they have kept the term, giving a new twist -- non-believers of Islaamka. When the caddaankii colonials arrived at our land, the term, yet again, acquired a new meaning. It mostly and almost solely became associated with those white colonial non-believers and infidels, particularly with those with Masiixi beliefs. Then Soomaalis further encountered other Africans claiming to be followers of Masiixi as well. Soomaalis now didn't know what to call them since gaal as an adjective has solely became a one associated with caddaanka. Marka hence the new term gaalo madoow, siiba madoowga Kenya degan, sida Kiikuuyada. What is interesting is that Soomaalida had never applied or called this term to Xabashadda; however, then again, like Soomaalida themselves, some Soomaalis do not consider Xabashadda as a "black" group as other Africans, though they are still Xabashi. That is why Soomaalida say markee arkaan Afrikaan kale "madoowgaas fiiri/war madoowgaan muxuu rabaa," though practically themselves ayaa ka madowsan. In the flawed Soomaali terminology, 'madoow' does not only refer to how one's skin appears to be, but the overall physical differences of one's ethnicity, since Tamils of Sri Lanka too are as madoow as some Soomaalis, but you never witness a Soomaali calling them madoow.

What is Max'ed Qanyare Afrax up to these days? In the last couple months, Qanyare is portraying himself to be an ideal man who is only defending the Axdiga. In that process, he, along with Muuse Suudi Yalaxoow, has also became a fanatic defender of Geedi and his little dowlad ku sheeg. Wax ayaa loo sheegay. Whatever happened to Cismaan Caato, the all-time record holder of being a -- if not the -- ruiner of every attempt of building an adminstration Banaadir since 1991. We missed Cismaan Caato on the political scene. Probably nursing in somewhere and being sick.

Xildhibaan Qanyare oo si weyn u cambaareeyay go'aankii shalay ay qaateen 22 wasiir Muqdisho 12 Oktoobar, 07 - ( Shabeelle ) - Xildhibaan Max'ed Qanyare Afrax ayaa cambaareeyay go'aankii shalay ay qaateen inta badan wasiirada ku jira xukuumadda Ra'isulwasaare Geedi. Xildhibaan Max'ed Qanyare oo maanta ka hadlayay munaasabad ka dhacday magaalada Baydhabo ayaa wax lagu qoslo ku tilmaamay go'aanka ay qaateen 22 wasiir oo ka mid ah golaha wasiirada xukuumadda RW Geedi. Max'ed Qanyare ayaa yiri "Ma waxa ay ka tahay aqoon darro mise wadaniyad xumo wa wax laga yaabo go'aanka qaateen". Waxa uu intaasi ku daray in aanu sharci aheyn dalabka ka soo yeeray wasiiradaasi oo ay ku dalbanayaan in Baarlamanka la horkeeno xukuumadda Cali geedi oo ay kalsooni weydiisato. Waxa uu ku dooday in xukuumadda Ra'isulwasaare Geedi ay heysato waqti Dheeraad ah oo ay ku hirgaliso qodobada lagu heysto oo ay ka mid yihiin in dalka laga hirgaliyo nidaamka Federaalka, waxaana uu sheegay in waqtigaasi ay ka dhiman tahay muddo ka badan halsano isla markaana haddii xilligaasi la gaaro uu Baarlamanka wax ka weydiin karo xukuumadda waxa ay ka yeeshay hirgalinta arimaha federaalka iyo waxyaabaha la midka ah. Max'ed Qanyare ayaa waxa uu sheegay in arimaha ka soo yeeray golaha wasiirada aanu aheyn wax sharci ku saleysan isla markaana ay tahay mid la doonayo in madmadoow lagu galiyo howlaha sharciga ah. Mar la weydiiyay in hadalkiisa uu qeyb ka yahay olole balaaran oo muddooyinkaan uu waday isla markaana uu ka horistaagayay in baarlamanka la horgeeyo xukuumadda Ra'isulwasaare Geedi ayuu iska fogeeyay arintaasi, waxaana uu sheegay in isaga uu ku dadaalayo in sharciga wax lagu hago. Hadalka Qanyare ayaa ku soo beegmaya saacado ka dib markii 22 wasiir oo ka mid ah xukuumadda Cali geedi ay ku ku dhowaaqday in ay is casilayaan haddii xukuumadda aanu mar kale weydiisan Baarlamanka codka kalsoonida.

It is the few clan militia that brutally subjugates, represses Kismaayo's native residents, loots its properties, deforests its deegaan for dhuxusha la dhoofiyo [which was documented by the United Nations] and now the daylight xasuuq of innocent people, including wadaado.

Ar maxaa Xabashi laga cabsaday. Where is Kashafa, who mistakenly believed these xaaraan ku naax occupiers of Kismaayo were anti-Xabashi. And this: Xiinfaniin, the xaaraan ku naax clan occupying militia from that village of Cabuudwaaq know inay ku daaheynin that blessed city of Kismaayo. It was a reason they couldn't even fire a single bullet to defend the occupied Kismaayo during Maxkamadaha's incursion. Now, they are shamelessly bedding and bidding with their loots with their Xabashi masters, protecting a Xabashi spy agent in their midst or sending their traditional ugaasyo envoys to Adisababa to beg the Xabashi master to leave them alone since they have nothing against Xabashi invading the country. No wonder, though, as they always bed anyone who they think that can prolong their clan occupaction, be it Indhamadoowe or Seeraar or Xabashi, or even as that warlord they worship as a lord [God-like, respected and honoured] said infamously, even they will bed the Yahuudis if it helps their occupying cause. They lack a clear, political insight of the future of this Soomaali polical games. No clan occupation ever lasted in Soomaaliya. That is the only clear conclusion we have got from this prolonged unnecessary clan civil wars. These are the two posts.

Kashafa, the gentlemen know what I am talking about that, in fact, they inadvertently proven my point. To some, the phrase "dalka la magac baxay" the Biibiisii Soomaali sometimes uses ayaa wadno xanuun ku ah. What they failed to realize is that this is a BBC-wide policy and nothing to do with who runs Biibiisii Soomaali section. To others, the accusation goes, it did not alalaas for the Xabashi occupation and does expose the injustices and massacring against innocent Soomaali people. And those who support the corrupt leadership in Bari, they cannot tolerate the filthy corruption Biibiisii sometimes uncovers. So when they realized they can do nothing, they resorted taking vituperative and defamatory shots at Yuusuf Garaad, personal attacks aan loogu gamban on some certain websites. It was expected. Nothing new since the accusers being your typical Soomaalis. That is why they initially cheered for the newly re-developed idaacadda Codka Mareykanka [VOA], whom they assumed would be on their competing side. We will see how long they will stick with it and start taking shots whoever junior runs it. It seems, however, already a site did publish a scathing attack some individuals from that service, taking shots that Xareeri guy who is said to be one of the seniors. Biibiisii is here to stay. Unlike the few dibadjooga who can access whatever information they want at their finger tips, Biibiisii malaayiin Soomaaliyeed oo magaalooyin, degmooyin, tuulooyin iyo xirooyin qaxooti ku jiro ayaa ku xiran who have no other informational source than that little hourly radio. War badan wax ma taree, Biibiisii iyo idaacadda Codka Mareykanka labadoodaba Soomaali malaha, oo dan shisheeye ayee u adeegtaa oo dano kale ka wato; if they only knew that grand scheme laga leeyahay by kuwaas sameystay idaacaddaas, the accusers would not dwell those petty, unfounded accusations because one does not support one's clan.

Well, well, well, the results are in. As expected the Liberals won a comfortable majority, though with merely 42 per cent of the votes. This is why we need the new mixed-member proportional for. Had the election used this formula, of course, the Liberals would not have won this easily. Our Soomaali friend, Max'ed Muunye Qaasin, who was campaigning the xaafad most Soomaalis in Koronto reside, Etobicoke North, alas, couldn't make the cut. He should have realized the day he decided to a run for a party that nurtured and made its leader Mike Harris. Soomaalis still know what Harris did to this province and to recent immigrants, especially to then our new community, so I guess a few Soomaalis have voted for Md. Qaasin's party. And to spoil it, few more votes from the Soomaali community was stolen by that young man's supporters, Jaamac Saciid Jaamac Qorsheel. I hope there were strong numbers on the referendum, though the bar was set too high for the plebiscite to pass at 60 per cent.

Internet caters to amputee fetish Disabled athlete Ian Gregson says he never wondered why the same group of able-bodied fans always showed up at his Paralympic sporting events. He didn't dwell on "strange" websites he saw in the early days of the Internet where people were trading photos of female amputees. And even when he saw an advertisement in Hustler magazine for a mail-order catalogue called Ampix selling pornographic images of female amputees, he says he noted only how bizarre it was, and then moved on. But when new members began requesting pictures of amputees on his mailing list, the St. John's Amputee listserv, Gregson was perplexed. His site was aimed at helping amputees cope with the loss of their limbs. But many of those asking for images explained their interest to him: these people, mostly men, were sexually attracted to amputees. It was his first encounter with a group of people he would clash with for years to come: devotees. They formed a community that has exploded online. Any search for the term "amputee" will turn up at least a few results for devotee-oriented websites, not to mention targeted ads for pictures of amputees. There are thousands of Web pages, forums, listservs and blogs catering to every imaginable niche of devotee interests. For many people, this type of pursuit is seen as a strange and disturbing fetish, but for devotees, disability is just another physically attractive feature, no different from a curvaceous figure or beautiful eyes. Amputation is the most common disability that attracts but there are people who are aroused by blindness, paralysis and even a group attracted to cognitive disabilities. Others fantasize about the equipment necessitated by a disability: wheelchairs, casts, neck braces, crutches and so on . What all devotees seem to have in common is their commitment. For some, every detail is important – whether the disability was present from birth or acquired later in life and even which side of the body the disability affects. Devotees exist in greater numbers than many people could fathom. Ampix catered to a clientele of only 300 people in 1976. A decade later, a devotee newsletter called Fascination had amassed a circulation of 1,000. By the time the Internet went mainstream in the mid-`90s, 10,000 people were participating in various devotee Web sites, forums and chats. Estimates today have as many as 50,000 active devotees online. [The same source.]

Illogical desires that can't be ignored Toronto Star Oct 04, 2007 When Greg showed up at a hospital in the middle of the night complaining of a frozen foot, the nurse made him sit for half an hour in the waiting room in hopes that the "pins and needles" sensation would go away on its own. When the nurse realized that Greg had purposely frozen his lower leg by submerging it in dry ice for six hours, he was whisked off for examination. Hours later, Greg was recuperating after doctors were forced to amputate the lower portion of his left leg. He had accomplished his goal. Greg (a pseudonym) is one of a small but increasingly vocal group of people with an unclassified condition known as Body Identity Integrity Disorder. In many ways, Greg, whose leg was amputated three years ago, is an average North American: He's in his 30s, married with one young child and successful at his career. But ever since he was a child, Greg says, he's had the constant desire to be rid of his lower left leg. It's impossible to estimate the number of people with Body Identity Integrity Disorder worldwide, but the advent of the Internet has let them form a community online. The appeal of anonymity and a chance to connect with the few people who can claim to understand them has led so-called "amputee wannabes" to come out of the woodwork and publicize their plight in a way that was previously impossible. Little is known about the disorder and few people have studied it. It was first classified in 1977 as a sexual attraction to the idea of becoming an amputee. Now it's no longer considered a simple sexual deviation. The few psychologists who have studied this phenomenon have largely concluded that the desire to have a limb amputated is a matter of self-identity. Doctors say these people are simply "troubled," plagued by illogical desires that they cannot ignore. Wannabes, ironically, describe not feeling "whole" with all of their limbs intact. Most claim that a certain part of their body feels foreign. And they are very specific about the limb they wish to have removed, right down to the number of inches they want their stump to be. Most wannabes can remember having these feelings as far back as childhood. A 33-year-old wannabe from Vienna who calls himself Matt says he has felt attracted to the idea of being disabled since he was a young child. Matt recalls his kindergarten teacher announcing the arrival of a new classmate – a boy whose legs were amputated above the knee. Matt's immediate reaction was that "it felt like a jackpot." Now Matt says he wants to have all four of his limbs removed to live as a quadruple amputee. The only thing preventing him from achieving this goal, he says, is money. Self-injury, like Greg's solution with dry ice, is not the only way to have a limb amputated, Matt says. Although it's a closely guarded secret in wannabe communities, Matt knows of at least two countries where one can pay a doctor to create a false medical reason to explain an elective amputation, at a cost of about $10,000. Wannabes didn't always have to resort to self-injury or black market procedures. Dr. Robert Smith, a surgeon at the Falkirk District Royal Infirmary in Scotland, amputated the legs of two patients at their request in the late '90s, the BBC reported. In 2000 he was set to amputate the leg of a third patient, an American psychologist, when the hospital barred Smith from performing the surgery. No other doctor is known to have agreed to amputate the healthy limbs of patients since then. A controversial essay written by two Australian bioethics experts argues that amputation may be the best and only way to treat this condition. Neil Levy, one of the authors, explains there is evidence that wannabes are truly suffering, and the medical community should provide the treatment they need. He says the only treatment that's been shown to provide relief so far is amputation. [sNIP] Claire, a mother of four from Eastern Canada, was one of the first test subjects in Ramachandran and McGeoch's study in the early summer. Claire writes in an email that she was conflicted about participating in the research project. "I am afraid to do this, for one reason – because I'm afraid if I'm `cured' ... it will take away from part of my identity." Claire says that in the several months that she has been blogging on a website for "transabled" people, she has "come out" to her husband and gone to therapy. She bought a wheelchair and has spent weekends in another city pretending to be a paraplegic. The experience was eye-opening, she writes. "It has shown me that when I live life as a para, I feel right. Instead of spending my day in anxiety or frustration, plagued by obsessive thoughts that never go away, unable to truly concentrate on or enjoy anything, I just feel normal. The demons in my head are stilled." [Read more .]

Daa'uud waa riyoonoyaa, Somaali-made kulahaa. Duqa, the Soomaali telefashin used to come on the air at 6 pm and would be off air by 10 pm, six days a week. On Friday, it would air during the mid noons to early afternoons, to broadcast some quiz shows, including the well-regarded Kedis, a show about competing Muqdisho high schools on the subjects of math, geography, history, Soomaali literature and science. The cartoons, which aired during the early evening, were all foreign-imported and all were in Carabi. Cali Baaba's Sharkaan Sharkuun was one; Nucmaan and Mansuul, which was not a cartoon but a Sacuudi-produced and Carab world's answer to Sesame Street, was the other.
