Dad ayaaba u muuqda inay u dulqaadan karin ama carabkooda qaban karin magacyada qaaseed. Magacyada sida uu magacyadiina idinla qumantahay, dad ayee magacyadaas iyo naaneysyadaas ula qumanyihiin. Aan iska dhaafno fadeexaada qaaday dadka qaarkood. Aan iska dhaafno shaqsinimadda. Yuusuf Garaad xil ayuu u qaaday, oo garashadiis iyo garaadkiis ayaa gaarsiisay in loo dhiibo xilkaas ee masuqmaasuqnimo, qabyaaladnimo iyo wax kale ma loogu dhiibin. Heer aqooneed ayaa loogu dhiibay. Deal with that. Inkastoo waxyaabaha badan uu kusoo kordhiye aan la wada socon, let's see how Yuusuf Garaad changed the face of Beenbeensii. What he had done the last half dozen years. BBC Soomaali changed from one half-hour program to a three times a day program. The afternoon segment went from half-hour to one full hour version. He made numerous deals with local FM short-wave radios in many towns and cities, so the masses can listen more easier, more clearly and without any shucaac. Waa dadkaas ka nastay MW inay ka raadiyaan BBC Soomaali daqiiqado. We in dibaddaha can easily now listen if we want, thanks to Md. Yuusuf Garaad. He launched in 1999 the online service of BBC Soomaali. There were far and few fara ku tiris Soomaali sites in these days, let alone a radio-based one. Initiated many unique programs such as doodda dhacdo every Friday. Started a project which had given free training lessons to many local Soomaali journalists. He hired Cowke, one of the most admired presenters and newsreaders. He also reshuffled the staff, retiring many olders, who were relucant and wanted to stay around forever. He hired more diverse reporters, now most major towns have one reporter each. He launched many new programs, some educational, some infotaintment, some political. He also launched serialized radio dramas. Those are the few aan xasuusan karo, and I am sure there are many contributions he had made to BBC Soomaali since uu noqday tifaftire. Yuusuf Garaad isma naqaano, waligeena isma arag, qaraabana ma nihin, meel aa iska galnana iska yar. Waxaa igu kaliftay inaa runta sheego because dacaadayaha raqiiska ah iyo been laga been abuurto ayaa badatay. Aqoontiis ayaa gaarsiisay meeshaas, waana sababta keentay in xataa loo dhiibo the head of African services, not only Soomaali service, in 2002.

Kashafa is a bit misinformed if he thinks waxa ka dhacaayo Kismaayo has to do anti-Xabashi and any resistance against Xabashadda. Xabashi occupied Kismaayo for couple months. Jiiq iyo juuq wax yiri ma jirin. Cid far taagtay, let alone dhashiike ku tuurtay, ma jirin. Xabashi occupiers were then sent to Xamar for reinforcement to their other fellow soldiers struggling to contain Xamar, the heat in Xamar got too hot to handle. Not a toddobaad kasoo wareegan markee baxeen kuwii xaaraanta ku joogeen rabay inay isku si balaariyaan soo baraarugeen. If you are not that aware either another episode. The moooryaanta meesha qabsatay sent a delagation to Adisababa begging -- who else? -- the master and trying to persuade him the wars in that town has nothing to do with Xabashi resistance. That is called moooryaanism 101, oo dan qabyaaladeed iyo tolnimo kaliya usoo jeedo. Waxa igu daran Xabashi siday ugu cabsanayaan, oo Soomaalida kale iskugu taagayaan. Shame aan xishood lahayn waaye moooryaantaas meesha qabsatay oo xaaraan u bartay. One thing they seem to fail to learn is that, whether they ally with and protected by Indhamadoowe, whether they ally with and desperately try to seduce Xabashi protection, xaaraan waligeed ma daahirto. Soon sida Maxkamadaha ugu safeyeen ayaa loogu safeynaa, and dadka deegaanka xaqa u leh, deegaanka dego [waana Reer Waamo] u talin doono that town iyo arrimaheeda.

Kaastaro seems to have caught up reading Koronto Istaar, especially two of my favourite columnists of the paper: Thomas Walkom and Haaruun Sidiiq. Brother Haaruun at late '90s and early '00s was editorial editor, a high position for a Muslim in a major Western newspaper.

DENOUNCING THE TFG’S DEVIOUS POWER DISTRIBUTIONS DESIGNS Systematic Repression of Benadiris by way of Rebuffing their Right to Representation Press Release Juun 14, 2007 T he Benadiri International Youth Organization (BIYO) declares its utter disappointment with the way in which seats in the Benadir and Lower Shabelle regional and municipal administrations, especially the coastal cities of Mogadishu and Marka, have illicitly been allocated by the TFG’s Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi. BIYO firmly believes this to be a serious act of injustice, in contempt of both historical and contemporary facts, as the natives of the areas, namely the Benadiris, were appallingly and explicitly excluded from the process and stripped of their right to political representation in these produced bodies. The Benadiris are not only the indigenous people that have the earliest historical connection to these areas but are also the principal and predominant inhabitants thereof. In relation to other national offenses, this latest misdeed adds insult to the raw injury and humiliation directly resulting from the formation of the fabricated and fallacious 4.5 formula . Consequently, the natives of Benadiri are facing unprecedented hardships. Benadiris, while not a numerical minority by any means, continue to be categorized as “Others” and subjected to subhuman treatment. Benadiris are denied access to political power, cope with discrimination and human rights abuses, and have unfair policies imposed on them. The most lethal injustice is being committed against them is in the form of imposing upon them alien local and regional administrations, neither representing or reflecting them nor respecting and recognizing their rights. The wave of unjust policies and practices towards the Benadiris only serve to undermine true social harmony and stability and further deepen the depths of dissension. We are deeply dismayed by this trend to further disengage Benadiris from the political process. While Somalia needs a new and more just system of representation, BIYO firmly deplores the prevalent system by which those who perpetuate violence are reinforced and rewarded, while exploited and deprived of due rights are those that are peace-loving, unarmed, and non-violent in nature, prompting us to question: “Is there any Reward for Good - other than Good?” (Quran 55:60). Verily, Somalis have to divest themselves of this moronic mentality. Contrary to the duties and responsibilities of a government, the TFG’s record of actions portrays it functioning as a mechanism of exclusion and recurrent l repression of unarmed groups. We believe that recognition of every party’s right is imperative to establishing and maintaining a just and peaceful Somalia. Accordingly, we urge the TFG to reconsider its policies and practices towards Benadiris and take corrective action without further a due. We also urge the TFG to discredit and disuse the mythical 4.5 Formula, designed for fraudulent purposes and brings about flawed and imbalanced apportionments. BIYO considers the unrelenting use of treacherous techniques to discount and, in growing cases, disbar the Benadiris from participating as stakeholder on political fronts a direct threat to Benadiri identity and rights. It vows to persist in its pursuit of organizational objectives on local & international scales and dedicate itself to the struggle of Benadiris worldwide. We appeal to all patriotic and principled Somalis and other peace loving, pro-justice people to join and support its cause and unending endeavors for fairness, equality, and justice as a formula for lasting peace. Thank you for your kind attention. - Benadiri International Youth Organization (BIYO) Markacaddeey Poor Banaadiris. Dowlad ku sheegaan mee xaq iyo nidaam wanaagsan ka sugayeen? To those who are not abreasted about the latest political ostracization of Banaadiris, the article is a response to recent guddoomiyiyaal appoints made by Max'ed Dheere to some districts of Xamar that have had historical Banaadiri majority and have been a Banaadiri deegaan: Shangaani, Shibis, Xamarweyne, Xamarjajab, Boondheere and C/casiis. Especially the former four. Max'ed Dheere appointed his distant and close qabiilmates -- and obviously non-Banaadiris -- to those degmooyin. It also is a response the expected appointment of Marka's guddoomiye by dowlad ku sheega, again expected to be a non-Banaadiri.

I just realized, subsconsciously, myself passing reading whole sentences if I come across one word my inner psyche has zero toleration for. For me, whole sentences are messed up because of that word that my mind cannot take. For some articles, if the word become recurring feature, I stop even reading the darn article altogether. Words such as: - Terrorist [dah, no need to explain this] - Fundamentalist - Moderate [google lists 1,280,000 and 1,390,000 for 'moderate+muslim' and 'moderate+islam,' respectively] - Militant [try googling again 'militant+islam' and compare it to other faiths by using same formula of 'militant+...'] - Radical - Insurgent [this word has lost its true meaning since the Ciraaqi invasion by Mareykanka] Three of them seems to be synonymous words in the Western media these days: terrorist/militant/fundamentalist, which all are referred to a certain people who follow same faith and that defend their lands. Poor "radical" will join them soon.

Let's not personalize the fundamental issue at hand. Cismaan Caato iyo wuxuu yahayba iyo wuxuu ahaan jirayba Soomaali ayaa wada og. Taas aan iska dhigno. The issue is blant xadgudub dadka iyo hantidadoodaba la iskaga xadgudbaayo by these dowlad sheeg taagta daran puppets and their Xabashi masters. Kumanaan guryo badan ayee galeen, oo ka qaateen, bililiqeystay waxee qaadan kareen. Some of these happened before wax resistance dagaalo bilaaban, from day one. That is the xaqiiqda. Dowlad ku sheegaan axdigeeda Xabashi soo dhoobdhoobtay xataa ku tumaneyso [or perhaps they cannot read it?], guri la iska galaayo wax cadeyn aan la wadan, hadana hantida la iska bililiqeysanaayo iyo xataa dadka degan qaarkood la iska xiraayo. Ma meesha Adisababa ayee moodeen? Oh, then again their master is a classic kaliyetaliye, a dictator. Waa ogyihiin maadaama ay meesha ku raageenin oo ka bililiqeysta waxaa bililiqeysan kartiin ayee bilaabeen. PS - The last time I knew this Cismaan Caato person was 'xildhibaan' in this wretched dowlad ku sheeg, so whatever happened that decree from warlord Max'ed Dheere lahaa guryaha 'xildhibaanada iyo madaxweyniyaashii hore' lama gali karo after the fiasco at C/qaasin's villa? Mise dowlad ku sheeg wareersan waaye oo iyagii iskama warqabaan. Then again Xabashi ayaaba meesha masters ka ah oo meeshee damcaan iska galaan, yaaba la tashto. As the fragile, frail Stooge of Father of Xabashadda keep saying, "idaacaddaha ayaan ka maqalnaa..." Keep hearing it on idaacaddaha until meeshaa fadhisid laguugu imaado.

I hardly ever listened BBC, and those few times were mainly after main events occured. Having disclaimed that, I for one applaud Yuusuf Garaad 'diversifying' [for a lack of a better word] that archaic, colonial-created warbaahin. It was a myth to begin with a certain region people's accents predominating the air of such Soomaali-wide media institution. The merit, long ago, should have been based one's qualifications than one's accents. We used to commend when Yuusuf Garaad took tough on warlords he interviewed. We should likewise admire his drive to make it more diverse, young and professional. Especially more 'audioly' diverse. Then again some do not like him because he is anti-dowlad ku sheeg, anti-warlord; for others, for his stand being a staunch nationalist, instead of being an advocate of separatism, even though he gives plenty of coverage and air to the few separatists. Those same people invented such gross, baseless widespread lies about him hiring 'cousins' in order to character-assassinate him and his reputation. One more reason, such exotic names like Bashka Jugsoodhacay [first time hearing was during the American bombing of Dhoobleey, though it was a subdued report I couldn't really stop cracking when the newsreader mentioned their reporter's name - 'kaasi waa wariyaheena Bashka Jugsoodhacay' ] wouldn't be possible without his efforts. By far, the most funniest, most absurd, striking Soomaali naaneys ever heard, and they were plenty I did known over the years. Olders such as this Xareeri guy [never listened any report of his] should have retired gracefully long ago, in order to make up-and-coming youngsters some rooms. Yuusufoow, clean the darn staff and thing up, only leave Cowke alone.

Watch those short clips from Shirqool of Soomaalida [mostly tax drivers at downtown, some whose faces I recognize] in Koronto and what they think and how they view about Xabasho occupation. Each clip is very short, but very interesting too, so baliis try watching some. Clip 1 [Waana ka saareynaa (Itoobiyaanka), waa la dagaalameynaa (with) xoolaheena, hantideena ...] Clip 2 Clip 3 Clip 4 Clip 5 Clip 6 Clip 7 [Even this Itoobiyaan Muslim brother is anti-occupation.] And the very lone supporter of dowlad ku sheega: Clip 8 [itoobiyaanka shaqo fiican ayee qabteen, (waa) dad walaalaheena ah ...] You can watch some more views if you want.

I see Yahuud intelligence fingers in Lubnaan. Baasaasiinta meeshaas ku sugan ka faa'ideysanaayo isku dirka walaalahaas. Then Suuriya ayaa la blame gareynaa iyo xulafadooda, sida Xisballaah.

Gobsmacked they were,as for the young they cheered...signs of modernisation eey! Muniiro, waxaa isoo xasuusisay an awkward moment in Nayroobi, Kiinya. It was in 1994, guriga la wada fadhiye, yar iyo weyn, adeer iyo abti, habaryar iyo eedo, and folks were ready to watch a recent wedding from Australia; a wedding of my abti's wife's brother and his new bride. Long story short, the wedding too Western ayee ahayd but the shock has yet to come. At the end, afkii ayaa la isgishtay. Walaahi fadhigaas dadkii wada fadhiye, everyone from yar iyo weyn, kud isku yiri, some elders froze. If it was a few seconds maba xumeyn, but they darn continued for minutes. Yaxyaxnimadii waa laga baxay that some even started to talk about "BBC maxee sheegtay" in order just to change the heavy embarrassing air in the room. Finally someone -- bless whoever it was -- fast-forwarded it. Markii dambe some started making lame excuses, such as the bride being 'Eritrean' [though she was Muslim] and perhaps dhaqankooda baas saas ah. Yea, yea. About caanaha lugaha lagu dhaqo, I don't know about it. I only know caanaha geel ah la cabo as a substitution for cake, which is Western. My sister's aroos in 1988 ayaa saas lagu sameeye, which was instead of cutting lame cakes, she and her bridegroom gave caano geel one another from a real dhiil. The whole aroos was hidaha iyo dhaqanka, from top to down. It was the first hida iyo dhaqan guur I had seen.

There is thir one normally practiced in the west of Somaliland where the married couple should stay together for one full week right after the nikaax ,,, it is called (DADAB GAL),,,,, the unique part of this practice is that the man is staying in the bride's family house and is not allowed to go out of his room. He cannot even go to the mosque for prayers, he should stay and pray inside the room with his bride. Waxaas toddobaadka ayaa la dhahaa, and it is a Soomaali-wide custom; a Soomaali version of 'honeymoon.' Deegaankaas ma 'dadabgal' ayaa loogu yaqaanaa mise you are mispronouncing toddobaadka? Alas, Soomaalida in West do not have the luxury to do this, since shaqo iyo iskool iyo wax baas sugaayo right after guurka, and they don't have qaraabo u adeegaayo oo cunto kala nooc every meal u karinaayo that whole week. As a child,being inquisitive,I noticed on the night of the wedding,the older women,would make a point dancing all night next to the bride and grooms bedroom....How nosy where these old ladies!! I particular,found this interesting,as the bride and the groom enter their home.The bride is given a jug of milk,her feet are washed..while the groom carries a child boy...What was the significance of the washing of the feet? This seems regional. Where have you witnessed those weddings at? At some aroosyo, halxiraale iyo su'aale kale la isweydiiyo ayaa jirto, especially to bridegroom. This is popular in Waqooyi.

This thread may not fit in this section, nonetheless aan ku qoro qeybtaan. It is about Macalin Nuur. Yaa xasuusto Macalin Nuur? Ar maxaa laga dambeeye. A famous well-regarded man a whole section Soomaalida ka dambeyn jirtay, qadarin jireen. He also generously donated his large swath of land to Muqdisho and Banaadir residents -- anyone who died in Muqdisho pre-war was freely buried in that public Xabaalaha Macalin Nuur, named after him, which was located close to Afgooye. Anyway, I remembered him because I had seen his picture on yesterday's Aaden Cadde's funeral where he was present to pay his respects to Aaden Cadde. Seeing his image took me back as a very young boy in Xamar, back in 1989 or around. Macalin Nuur arrived one night to a wedding at our xaafad. He was wearing those bright, white go', same as he always does, including in following pictures. He was also shining, to us kids then at least. Anyway, ciyaalka -- and some adults -- started going after him, and kissing his hands, one after another. I too of course kissed his hand. When I saw the following pictures from yesterday's funeral, it reminded me that hand-kissing night. People are still kissing his hands as a sign of reverence.
