Another Maki Xaaji Banaadir classic. It is already classic, though new. Ninkaas gacan iyo jilib aan u taagay. Watch it on here.

J. Peter Pham The confused Vietcon once again writes another amateur, uninformed article, masqueraded as a political piece. Whoever hired this -- and I am sure he is on commission -- should be fired. Even if some of our Waqooyi brothers' lobbying budget is not that much, hiring confused, mumbling Vietcon, who is totally ignorant about what is happening in Soomaaliya, is wasting some needy hard currency and a bandwith. This Vietcon [or should I say Vietcong?] should devote his little time advocating the dismemberment of south and north Vietnam once again, since they were not "officially" together and were de facto independent nations for more than two decades.

The Pan-Somali movement is led from Mogadishu by an exile from French Somaliland , but all Somali politicians automatically include it in their creed. Can anyone guess who that man was? I would love to see him alive today and see wuxuu asaga iyo halyeydii kale ee aabiyaasheen usoo halgameen damiirlaawiyaal stooges ah qashinka ku daray maanta.

With Jamaal C/naasir With the Xabashi Emperor, Xeylasalaase [At the back, in military dress, is Xuseen Kulmiye Afrax (Eebba ha u naxariisto).] With Jomo Kenyatta, the former Kenyan president With former Ghanaian president and pan-African leader, Kwame Nkrumah With Marxuum C/rashiid Jeneraal Daa'uud (Eebba ha u naxariistee) on his right, Xuseen Kulmiye on the left

Since madaxweynihii heybada iyo qaayaha lahaa ee Mudane Aaden Cabdille Cismaan uu sariir saaranyahay oo isbitaal ku jiro, this thread is solely dedicated to him. Aabihii wadanka, aabihii ummada Soomaaliyeed, Aaden Cadde, Eebbe caafimaad iyo cilmi dheer wanaagsan ha siiyo -- aamiin, aamiin. [Fadlan u duceeya.] A rare pictorial images I found on another site, but unfortunately was on a slide and without any identification. I separated them as an still images. Enjoy. Md. Aaden Cadde with Marxuum C/rashiid Cali Sharmaarke (Eebba ha u naxariistee). [On his immediate left.] His swearing-in inauguration At Cumra in Makka. [The circled face behind him is my old man, who I can easily recognize even as the image being small. We had many pictures like this, some we unfortunately have lost, being a casualty of civil war.] Easily relaxing at home With Marxuum C/rashiid (Eebbe ha u naxariistee, on his right) and Jamaal C/naasir, former president of Masar {Eebbe ha u dambi dhaafee) Marxuum C/rashiid (Eebba ha u naxariistee) at his right again. The smiles, the happiness. Waayo waayo, waayadee Soomaalida heybad lahayd. On his left, I think, is Max'ed Cawaale Liibaa (Eebba ha u naxariisto), the creator of Soomaali flag.

I've emailed the other day the reporter who reported this unfortunate war, asking if he can take some photos of them. [i was a bit cynical, still am.] He emailed back: "Sorry for not replying you sooner. I have been out of Monrovia doing some investigation in Yekepa with Mittal Steel. I can assure you that since we published that report, several efforts have been made to assist those African mothers and sisters. However, we are making sure that they first of all be cater to before the raing season. I will try to do a photo next time when I am reporting on Somalia Refugees. this report has claim not only your concern but Officials in Government. This was another means to address their plight. I will keep you in touch."

Originally posted by Xoogsade: Well written article by an infomed nonsomali. The future is bleak simply put. Mala yaabateen how warlord A/Y is asking for 40 million to reconcile unwarring somali clans? - Rounding up elders who disagree with them at gunpoint = $20 million. - Painting the old building allocated for the warlords and their kidnapped , and buying second hand furniture to sit on is another $ 20 million. Warlord Yusuf and his henchmen need to get real and accept they are the only problem somalis have. Thta is called anabashed tuugsiness. Xishood ma jiro, every single darn occasion tuugsi ayee ku jiraan, led by the Stooge Father of Xabashadda. "Ar caalamka ha naga soo gaaro, oo musqulaha dhaqidtooda hal milyan ku baxeyso ee na siiya ... War caalamka aaweya oo jikada alaabta taalo laba milyan ku baxeyso, ee noo soo dira ..." Magac Soomaali ayaa la rabaa in lagu qaraabta that never buuxsamaayo jeeb.

It is not political correct to use a clan name as a region. It is a colonial invention, who wanted to promote clan interests in Soomaalis and downplay Soomaali unity and consciousness, thus giving explicit clan names to some regions they occupied like Bari, Soomaali Galbeed and Jabuuti [French Territories of ...]. The name universally known and accepted to Soomaalis on that occupied land is Soomaali Galbeed. It is neutral and is the interest of the gobolka's liberation.

Reading the monthly reports by Mr. Weinstein, one concludes how amazingly micro-informed he is about the Soomaaliya's political scene. Runtii, considering him being a non-Soomaali, he is much better informed than most Soomaalis. He also accurately conveys what is on the ground, accompanied by as little an editorial comment as possible.

Waa geed ee dadka Muqdisho aaminsanyihiin inay keeneeen ciidamaddii Unisom ee horaantii sagaashameydii. Inkastoo uuba geed ahayn, saan u maleeyo, uu yahay kaliya wax dhulka kaliya ku faafo. Boocbooc camal in uu yahay aan jeclahay.

Markaa naxay waxee ahayd markaan ku arkay Soomaali hooyooyin iyo ciyaalkooda dhabarka u suran ku tuugsanaayo xaafadaas Soomaalida ka degto ee Nayroobi, Islii. The year was 2003. The Islii aan ogaa in early 1990s iyo kaas aan soo arkay aad iyo aad ayee u kala duwanayeen. Isliigii hore Soomaalidii hore waa iscaawin jireen, hadana dad wada ladanaa ayee u badnaayeen. I suppose dadkaas waa soo wada baxay. Waxa iga sii nixiye waxee ahayd, dadka caadi ayeeba la ahayd, oo Soomaaliya la dhexjoogo camal. ----------- PS - There is a famous boulevard in Monrovia, too, called Somalia Road. So was in Xamar, a one well-known called Via Liberia at degmadda Waaberi. The story went the then two presidents of the nations exchanged to name each other's country name a major street in their respective countries.
