Bilaal, ma i fahmin aan u maleynaa. Adiga aa Shabeelle wax ka sheegtay ma dhihin. Teeda kalena wax la yiraahdo minority 'clan' ma jirto, ee maryooleey runta u sheeg. Soomaaliya kuwa hubka heysto ayaa ka 'minority' eh than peace-loving ones. Kuwaas ismooday inay 'majority' yihiin waa iska jaahil, mooday hubkooda inay u tahay Eebbe, oo masaakiin aan waxba galabsan ku bililiqeysto, ku laayo, ku ciribtiro, deegaankooda ka qabsaday. Don't believe the hype of 'minority clans;' haddee minority jirtana kan kugu dhahaayo waxaas asagaa ah. Unarmed clans, yes, but not minority, duqa. Ee ha iska dhigin minority ayaa tahay. And they are too civilized to choose being armed, oo waa iskala weynyihiin waxaas. Waxmagarada ayaa hubka dadka kale ku laayo, ku dhibo.

Heey, I won something! I did not know this. Unbelievable. My five years of SOL have finally paid off. Indeed, I would like to thank everybody and nobody and anyone and no one -- I am shocked, shocked, beyond shocked; God, from the bottom of my heart, my mind, my cyber character, I indeed like to thank all those who voted for me and those who didn't. I would also like to thank my fellow distinguished nominees. I also, again, would like to thank God, my parents whose nourishment and nurturing, and without them, I would have never won this prestigious award -- unbelievable, waaw, waaw. Dank yuu, dank yuu, dank yuu, dan... [Forcibly removed from the stage.] ...you... Wait a minute, what did I win again?

At approximately 2045 hours on March 16, 1993, an unarmed 16-year-old Somali youth, Shidane Abukar Arone, was captured in an abandoned U.S. Seabees compound, located beside the 2 Commando compound. Mr. Arone was captured by Sgt Hillier, Tpr MacGillvray and Capt Sox. (Capt Sox had replaced Sgt Skipton on patrol for a short period of time because Sgt Skipton had a scheduled phone call to make.) Mr. Arone was fully dressed and did not offer any resistance. When Sgt Skip ton returned, he saw that the captured Somali was in good physical shape. After the capture, Capt Sox ordered Pte Brown, who had been assigned to guard the 2 Commando gate from 2000 to 2300 hours, to locate the person in charge of front gate security to tell him to come back to where the prisoner was being held. Pte Brown found MCpl Matchee, who was the second in command to Sgt Boland (and Pte Brown's and Pte Brocklebank's immediate superior) and returned with him to Capt Sox. Capt Sox then assigned MCpl Matchee to guard the prisoner. By this time Mr. Arone was bound by his ankles and wrists and had a baton stuck between his arms and his body behind his back . Over the course of the next two and a half to three hours, Mr. Arone was severely and brutally beaten and burned with cigarettes by MCpl Matchee , with the acquiescence and perhaps the help of Pte Brown. Mr Arone was rendered unconscious from time to time by the beatings. When conscious, he reportedly was required to yell "Canada, Canada" . [sNIP] While Sgt Boland was present, MCpl Matchee retied Mr. Arone's ankles. He also removed one of Mr. Arone's garments and tied it around the young Somali's head. MCpl Matchee then proceeded to pour water over Mr Arone's head. In Sgt Boland's presence, Pte Brown punched Mr Arone in the jaw (although in Sgt Boland's court martial testimony he referred only to Pte Brown having said something to the prisoner). As Sgt Boland went off duty, he said to Pte Brown and MCpl Matchee, "I don't care what you do, just don't kill the guy." (According to Sgt Boland, he had remarked "don't kill him", and he described this as having been said "in a facetious sort of way, sarcastic".) MCpl Matchee stayed in the bunker with Pte Brown after 2200 hours, during which time both men hit and kicked the prisoner in his ribs and legs. MCpl Matchee also kicked Mr. Arone in his face . MCpl Matchee said to Pte Brown, " I want to kill this $#@% [f-word], I want to kill this guy ", and continued to beat the young Somali until his mouth bled . MCpl Matchee left to go to the tent of Cpl McKay, where he drank some beer. Sgt Boland arrived at the tent and had a beer with MCpl Matchee and Cpl McKay. MCpl Matchee said that Pte Brown had been hitting Mr. Arone and that he, Matchee, intended to burn the soles of the Somali's feet with a cigarette. At the bunker, MCpl Matchee told Pte Brocklebank to give him his pistol. Pte Brown testified at the courts martial that Pte Brocklebank seemed puzzled by this and told MCpl Matchee, "but it's loaded". Responding to an order from MCpl Matchee, Pte Brocklebank handed over his weapon, which was then held to the head of the prisoner by MCpl Matchee. According to evidence at the courts martial, MCpl Matchee held the pistol to Mr. Arone's head and told Pte Brown to take his picture. MCpl Matchee continued torturing the prisoner. He returned to the command post where he told his superior officer, Sgt Gresty, that "the Somali prisoner is getting a good sh!t kicking". Sgt Gresty took no action to go out and stop MCpl Matchee. MCpl Matchee remarked to MCpl Giasson that in Somalia, the police would shoot the prisoner, and that "in Canada we can't do it but here they let us do it, and the NCO are aware of it". He stated that MCpl Matchee then took a two- to three-foot hollow aluminum pipe that he, MCpl Giasson, carried with him on his rounds. During the time that Mr. Arone was being tortured and beaten to death, there were a number of Canadian soldiers in both the command and sentry posts. Shortly after midnight, Mr. Arone was dead. Most of the beating was administered by MCpl Matchee. Pte Brown was present during much but not all of the beating. Pte Brown admitted that at an early stage of the prisoner's ordeal he had punched him once in the jaw and kicked him twice in the leg. The exact cause of Mr. Arone's death was never determined, because no autopsy was performed. Medical evidence based on photographs and the description of the beating was that the death was probably caused by brain swelling resulting from the cumulative effects of blows to the head. Lacerations on the deceased's face were probably caused by blows with a fist, and such blows may have had a concussive effect, contributing to Mr. Arone's death. Death was preceded, however, by prolonged and severe pain and suffering. Xigasho Of course this is a sanitized version from the 'Soomaaliya Inquiry,' that the military investigated. I am sure a lot worse his they did to him that his torturers did not admit. Shidane Caroone ehelkiisa inay sue gareyaan ayaa fiicneed eeyadaan waxaas galabsaday, including the whole military department and the dowlada Kanada itself. I heard, not sure though, that some Soomaali community members unsuccessfully tried to sue on behalf of marxuum's family.

This week is dedicated to the memory of Shidane Caroone, his horrific, tortured murder by Canadian soldiers in Maarso, 1993, resonated around the world. It was a 14 years ago this week Shidane Caroone, an outcoming of age teenage boy and a resident of Beledweyne was captured by ciidamo Kanadiyaan naxariistii ka dhamaatay, torturing his poor soul to death, while agonizing, anguished loud voice for help in their camp -- not a soul woke up to help him, including higher officials who ran that camp. His tormentors also took 'trophy' videos and pictures, sadistic images of his tortured body and during when they tortured him to death, thus self-incriminating themselves, though justice never arrived fully. None was convicted in a long prison term. Shidane Caroone, Eebboow u naxariiso walaalkeen. More info regarding him, you can find on here ,here and here .

What Musaveni doesn't like the world to see at his backyard that seems to never end. A man who cannot help and defend his own massacred, raped, kidnapped and victimized people for decades and still on, has absolutely no business to be and meddle in Soomaaliya. Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), formed in 1987, is a paramilitary group operating mainly in northern Uganda and parts of Sudan. The group is engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government in what is now one of Africa's longest-running conflicts . [sNIP] The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including mutilation, torture, rape, the abduction of civilians, the use of child soldiers and a number of massacres. [sNIP] Two weeks after Museveni delivered his ultimatum of 6 February 1994, it was reported that LRA fighters had crossed the northern border and established bases in southern Sudan with the approval of the Khartoum government. Sudanese aid was a response to Ugandan support for the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) fighting in the civil war in the south of the country. Also, convinced that the Acholi were now collaborating with the Museveni government, Kony began to target civilians with his increased military strength. Mutilations became commonplace, and 1994 saw the first mass abduction of children and youth. The most famous of these was the Aboke abductions of 139 female students in October 1996. As most of the LRA combatants are abducted children, a military solution is widely perceived by the Acholi as a massacre of victims . Government attempts to destroy the rebels are thus viewed as another cause for grievance by the Acholi. The moral ambiguity of this situation, in which abducted young rebels are both the victims and perpetrators of brutal acts, is vital to understanding the current conflict. The creation of the government "protected villages" beginning in 1996 further deepened the antagonistic attitude that many Acholi have toward the government, especially as the population continues to be attacked by the LRA even within the "protected camps." The camps are also crowded, unsanitary, and miserable places to live. Meanwhile, in 1997 the Sudanese government of the National Islamic Front began to recede from its previous hard-line stance. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S., the relationship between Sudan and Uganda abruptly changed. Cross-border tensions eased as support to proxy forces fell. Some of the hundreds of thousands of civilians displaced by the war began to return to their homes. The number of people displaced by the conflict declined to about half a million, and people began to talk openly of the day when the "protected camps" would be disbanded. Night Commuters Each night, children between the ages of 3 and 17, referred to as "Night Commuters" or "Night Dwellers" walk up to 20 kilometres (12 miles) from IDP camps to larger towns, especially Gulu, in search of safety. Initiatives to raise international awareness for these children include the "Gulu Walks" and the work of the Uganda Conflict Action Network. Night commuters are also the subject of documentaries such as Stolen Children, Wardance, and Invisible Children. Gulu has been the location of much of the insurgent fighting by the Lord's Resistance Army and was the birthplace of both Alice Auma and Joseph Kony. Over 90% of the population has been displaced, mostly into camps clustered around towns and trading centers. To avoid abduction by the LRA thousands of children travel from rural areas to seek refuge in towns every night. Xigasho I Xigasho II

If you are too eager to see what Max'ed Xirsi Moorgan looks like without gar, you should have known he did not always sport that 'revolutionary-style' beard of his. Just look at his older, dated pictures. He always seemed to have had a huge shaarbo, but not gar.

Bilaal, weydii kan deeggaanka qabiilkeyga inaan goostaa rabo because of qabyaalad or supporting in Soomaaliya la kala gooyo because of qabiil, sababta uu su'aashaas kuu weydiinaayo adiga. That same person should never have any reason whatsoever to object waxee dadka kale taageeraan oo qabyaalad ku saabsan maxaa yeelay asaga ayaaba ugu horeeyo in the front seat when it comes supporting qabyaalad. ------------- Those images are an unfortunate, laakiin ma'aha in la wada eedeeyo Reer Boosaaso. Dadka xaga degan waxba ma galabsan, only callous manaxyaal aan habayaratee u naxariisan dadkooda ka cararaayo dhibaatada and blindly ignored by the corrupt so-called leaders up there, in a classic maxaa-iga-galay style. And attacking the secondary messenger, in this case warbaahinta Shabeelle, instead of attacking the perpetrators of these crimes and those who shelter them, will never lessen those horrific pictures and victims' ordeal. Their plight is periodically covered by the international media, one of the most recognizable that already exposed this: Aljasiira, BBC, New York Times, Independent, to name a few. Dadkaas ku naf beelay xaaladaas Eebbe ha u wada naxariisto.

Galbeedka seemingly has a monopoly when it comes defining what one belongs to. Ever heard or seen Bush called a militant, radical, fundamentalist, ultra-..., etc? Heck, I never ever read or saw in the mainstream media a labelling Bush 'conservative president.' Iskaba dhaaf rightwing. Some few brave souls on the net call him, rarely, a neoconservative [neocon], which his cohorts seem to enjoy this description. No, it never happens, though his actions are militant, Christofascist, fundamentalist and radical. They even call his regime 'adminstration,' which I can understand it is an American tradition to call whoever fills White House '[name] adminstration;' however Bushists in Aqalkacad behave like a true regime, thus do not deserve an adminstration title that his predecessors enjoyed. But the Iiraani president is usually labelled 'militant' and 'radical.' Xamaas as whole, including its leadership, too. I can undertand if one labels Xamaas 'militant,' because they are an armed group. It, however, seems Muslims have a particular terms set by Westerners: Radical, fundamentalist, militant ... you get the picture? Iyagana leftwing iyo rightwing ayee iskugu wacaan, obviously less loading words.

Reer Odhawa saas ayaa la rabaa. Dadaalkiina Eebbe ha idinku ajir siiyo -- aamiin.

Stop addressing one another in mocking, insulting, afxumo names and nicks. Each person has a username; you don't want to address in his or her name, fine, don't respond to the person at all, instead of petulantly twisting one's usernames. None can change each person's opinion, it is ridiculous for day in and out to engage same robotic, a la Groundhog Day, so-called 'opinions' on here. Utterly ludicrious.

Of all post-civil war singers, Cabdillaahi Boqol, without a question, is among the top, if not on the top alone. His smoothing voice that revealingly pays homage to Nuur Eebbe, another pre-civil war legend, Eebbe ha u naxariistee. Yet, he is not that successful, being the unfortunate product and a newcomer of after the war. It became a fact, a misfontune, a curse to be a singer after the war. All those singers that got their recognization after the war, none is given respect, regardless how talented and distinguished they are. Some blame lack of originality emitting from the newcomers, always singing the old established, classicial albums and singles. Boqol too succumbed to this, having a few original songs in his albums. Some of his songs are Nuur Eebbe's, another Cabdi Tahliil's Onkod, another third from others. Or perhaps the original fanaaniin themselves were not original themselves, courtesy of having great abwaano advantages at their disposal. Very few of these 'legends' wrote those widely known songs themselves. Most were penned for them by Hadraawi, Sahal, Cabdi Muxumud Amiin, Xarawo, Qarshe and others; yet a great respect is paid to Tubeec, Beerdilaacshe, Xasan Aaden Samatar and Cabdi Tahliil, the singers. Boqol waa u qalmaa fanaan kaligiis taagan, and he should strive to be that, instead of following the footsteps of countless semi-recognized, disrespected fananiinta dibadjooga oo kale. Who else u qalmo a true fanaan, those that come on the scene post-civil war that is?

Soomaaliya, especially Xamar iyo agagarkeeda, markuu dayaxa madoowaado, a special occasion ayee ahaan jirtay those nights, by ciyaalka. Dab ayee shidi jireen ciyaalka. Waa laga kor boodi jiray several times. Markaas ka bacdina intee luubaan iyo xabag ku ridaan bahalka uunsiga lagu daaro ayaa xaafadaha lagu soo wareegi jiray, iyadoo wax lagu qeylin jiray. Waa ilooway waxee qaadi jireen. Waayo waayo.

Will you people stop the name-calling? Everyone has a username, use it. Stop this 'qabiil-ubaahan' and 'dabodhirif.' If you don't want to address the individual, don't then. Don't degrade the forum, baliis. Above mocking and insult names will be edited if seen on here again.

A nice reception. Inay baqtiyaan ayaa fiicneed, though.

North., that was not by me nor Kaastaro. I Soomaalinize Ingiriiska, not the other around -- i.e. 'ay loof yuu' as an example of I love you. You can, however, find the original thread that article talks about on here.

Daa'uud, yes, that is very interesting. I hope this old thread too might interest you -- caaddo.
