This is an obviously fabricated news, so SYL why did you bring on here? The title and the attacks that happened today do not even match. It again doesn't even have a reputable source. Perhaps the "church" is this International Christian Concern, which masquerades as an humintarian organizaion. Well, if they are propagating gaalnimo to poor Soomaalida, waa u qalmaan xaruntooda in la weeraro. And if they are attacked, since when did foreigners become "Soomaali Christians?" Waligeey World Vision ayaa ka shakisnaa, who never hide their Christian agenda, unlike others like Oxfam, Care, Save the Children, SOS, etc, who at least aren't that obvious. World Vision xataa ma xishoodaan, having a burning cross hidden in its logo

Sh.Mukhtar Raabow Abu Mansoor Rooboow dheh, duqa. Rooboow ['Rainy']. What a name! Rooboow, an authentic and original Soomaali as it gets iyo Abuumansuur, magac aan waligiis la maqlin, intee isku raacaan? Perhaps Rooboow iyo Maansoor aala qaatay.

Koonfur Afrika is the most powerfully trained army in the continent, better than kuwa Masar u dhashay. It was the only nuclear-armed country in the whole qaarad of Afrika, though Mandela completely abandoned it for the sake of world-wide peace. They are not also ignorant waxa ka dhacaayo Afrika, and strongly are pro-Black Afrikans. They don't interfere other Afrikan countries' internal issues, otherwise Mugabe ayee ka bilaabi lahayeen. This entity dowlad ku sheeg let them beg poorly armed, civil-war weary likes of Rwanda, Angola, Congo, Mozambique and et all, who are glad to send their militias masqueraded as forces to outside paid by the UN -- they, however, aren't that ignorant, either, oo dagaal sokeeye and its quagmire aad ayee isku yaqanaan. Maxaa ugu toban iyo shan ah waxaa ka dhacaayo Soomaaliya?

I remembered an anecdote. I've had a lakad older brother, the most lakad I had ever seen, who for no apparent reason -- perhaps it had to do with his lakadnimo, who never agreed with the masses, even if they go to jano, asaga naar uu aadaa -- was anti-Kacaan. He worked at my hooyo's tukaan after school. He would put upside down Siyaad Barre's picture whenever he is working that shift, at the derision of my hooyo. See, the minishiibiyo would fine you haddeenan arkin sawirka Jaalle oo meesha surneen, labelling you anti-Kacaan. So asagoo saas ahaa ayee ardeydii galaaskiis ku jirtay, his whole class loo doortay meerijaankii inay matalaan at Oktoobar 21 celebrations. He refused to participate, si walba la yeelay, even the principal came to our house. Markii dambe haye uu dhahay. Maxee kugu taalaa, war xun aa dhacdee. On that day, when Oktoobar 21 came, his class waxee u qaabilsanayeen a larger-than-life face of Max'ed Siyaad, where each student had a part of the face. My lakad brother particularly had one of the 'eyes.' Markee other students wada taageen, asagii ma taagin, so the whole picture looked like Awjaalle Siyaad without an eye. He would later tell us the principal was perspiring like qoraxda wax loo dhaweeye, cabsi daradeeda, kana maba ka qasno waa ugu jirtaa. Ayaantiis, lamaba arkin. Otherwise that poor principal who trained his class waxa ku dhici lahaa Eebbaa ogaan lahaa, for si kalaa loo interprete gareyn lahaa and my brother himself, particularly haddii la ogaan lahaa qoyska uu ka dhashay.

Maskiin, indeed. Makulaalahaan laakiin sida Soomaalida camal ayee xiitoxiito iyo xayeesi u yihiin. The brief description also matches their namesake's people characteristics: "They are smart and lively, but also alert and curious. They are freedom-loving and must have plenty of room to roam and explore." So I see they are also fiery, independent-loving nomads.

Btw, you sure the article didnt come from jihadwatch? The article was written by Max Boot. Who is is he?

Another day, another flip-flopping. Only nin loo taliyo, oo aan tashan karin, ayaa saas u dhaqmo, a big stooge. [Maxee ahayd maahmaahdii? Rag waxaa ugu xun, ugu liito matashade, matoshe iyo matashiishe.] Raiisal wasaare Geedi oo bedelay mowqifkiisa ku aadan Golaha maxkamadaha Ra`iisal Wasaaraha Somaliya Cali Maxamed Geedi ayaa maata ka sheegay magaalada Neirobi in ey ku laaban karaan magaalada Muqdisho dhamaan xubnirii maxkamadaha masuuliyiintoada iyo taageeradoodaba. Prof. Geedi ayaa sidoo kale waxa uu ka codsaday dowladda Kenya in ey kusoo wareejiyaan gudoomiyaha golaha fulinta maxkamadaha Islaamka Sheekh Shariif Sheekh Axmed oo isagu iminka ku jira gacanta boliska dalka Kenya eyna suaa lo weydiinayaan. Hadalkan ayaa ra`iisal wasaaraha waxa uu ku macneeyay in ey qeyb ka tahay heshiis la doonayo in la isugu keeno maxkamadihii laga awooda roonaaday iyo dowladda federalka oo iminka gacanta ku haysa dhamaan K/Somaliya. Geedi ayaa waxa uu sidoo kale sheegay in ey dhamaan teegeerada iyo masuuliyiinta maxkamadaha ey ku laaban karaan magaalada Muqdisho iyadoo amaankooda ey damaanadqaadeyso dowladda Federalka.

Ololahan la isgu keenayo labadan garab ayaa waxaa la sheegay in ey wadaan dowlado shisheeye oo ey hor kacayaan kuwa reer galbeedka. Calanka.com, via Qaranimo.com

I thought you wrote that. Oh, it was a copy-and-paste miyaa? It wasn't a Reuters-worthy article, so I thought inaa adiga soo summurize gareysay. Next time its source soo raacsii. Yes, the word Soomaali/Samaale is a tribe, like Kiikuuyo, faraciisana clans u kala baxo. Of course they are non-ethnic Soomaalis that are Soomaali by nationality, but waa yaryihiin kuwaas.

Clans wars, dear. Clan = qabiil [isku jinsi ah, kala ah laakiin jilib/bah/tol/reer/iwm], ethnically the same. Tribe = qowmiyad, ethnically different [kala jinsi]. Kiikuuyu, Masaay and other tribes in Kenya and other patched up tribes into made-up countries of Afrika by colonials consist tribes, unlike the ethnic Soomaalis, who are clans.

Somalis have a striking, which, combined with their ruddy, has earned them the nickname of "fox" in some circles. Abyssinians and Somalis share the same personality (active, intelligent, playful, curious) and appearance. Like Abyssinians, they have a dark rim around their eyes that makes them look like they are wearing kohl. Temperament They are smart and lively, but also alert and curious. They are freedom-loving and must have plenty of room to roam and explore. [AKA being nomads.] Behaviours and patterns There are four main Somali colors officially accepted: Ruddy, red, blue, and fawn. European Somali organizations have a different naming convention: "Usual" for ruddy and "sorrel" for red. Genetic problems Many purebred Somalis had significant dental problems due to congenital problems magnified by inbreeding. As a result, many Somalis had to have all their adult teeth removed. More on Soomaalis simplified.

A Hamburg lawyer's office provides an intriguing example of what she means. Thirty-six-year-old Nils Bergner prays to Allah five times a day. The German convert works together with a Turkish friend Ali Özkan, also a Muslim. The two visit the mosque together, but it's only in the German's office that the prayer rug is regularly rolled out. "I just can't manage it," says Özkan. "The first prayer is at 6:00 a.m. — much too early." Recently, they were invited to dinner. The desert was tiramisu. Bergner hesitated because of the alcohol in the recipe. "I said, you can't be serious," Özkan recalls. "Go ahead and eat it, I said. It's just a flavoring." But Bergner left the tiramisu untouched. Kii Muslimka u dhashay ayaa qamriga caadi la ah, kii soo Islaamay ayaa diidaayo. Adduunka maanta si si kale ayuu u shaqeynoyaa, walaahi. This is the "moderate" and "extremist" Bush, allies and Western media talk about. You can have a bit of aalkolo, a piece of doonfaar, miss the salaadda, etc, because you are a "moderate." If you defend your land and not be submissive, you are a "violent person" that should be airbombed to death in your own land, because that defending one's nation from "terrorists" aren't "violent," says Bush. Try to defend yours, you are a "terrorist." George Washington was a defender of his land, was not a terrorist, but a "freedom fighter" and "anti-imperialism" goes the American propaganda. So was Lincoln, who killed thousands of fellow countrymen.

Horta I wonder why are those subway stations in that city so deeeeeeeep down? I once read it had to do being shelders during the airbombing of Hitler in World War II. Yea, it is old city, but that is still not snow -- flurries waaye.

Xaniifa, nice to see you again, walaashiis. Haka walwalin qashinka ee qoraan Soomaali ku sheega inta ku jiro, maba aaminsani inay saas u badanyihiin. Internetka ay iskaga noolyihiin because you can never see them in real life or don't dare to say that in real life waxee inta ku yada-yada-yada ku leeyihiin, for I hadn't seen qof dowlad ku sheegaan Xabashada wadato taageero, meel walbaa tagee, qabiil walba haka soo jeedaanee. Qashinkee qoraan dhag jalaq ha u siin, sister.

And they really call this snow? What you call 'snow' is flurries. Baraf baas halkaan ka da'o routinely looks like this: And the city still functions. Then again, that is Landhan. Magaalo ka cariiri badan jirin, where a typical road can't handle two passing cars.

Reer Vancouver did their share of daljecelnimo. Waa mahadsantihiin. Also Qowmiyada Oromada [soomaali Aboow]. Vancouver, Canada - Jan 19, 2007 - Bannaabax ballaaran oo ay ka soo qayb galeen qowmiyadaha Soomaali iyo Itoobiya ayaa ka dhacay magaalada Vancouver ee dalka Canada. Bannaanbaxaas ayeed dadkii ka soo qayb galay ku muujiyeen sida ay uga xun yihiin siyaasadda kaligii taliyaha Mele Zenawi. Waxayna ka codsadeen dowladda Canada in ay ku cadaadiso in Ra'iisul Wasaare Mele Zenawi deg-deg ciidamadiisa kala soo boxo waddanka Soomaaliya. Click each thumbnail to enlarge. More sawiro

Waxaan jeesto jeesto iyo ku xumeys ee kaa tahay, oo Soomaalidii kale in la heysto kula tahay, adigana lagu heystan. Maanta rumeyso ama ha rumeyso, Xabash Soomaalida dalkooda ayee ugu amartaagleyaan, meeshee ciidamadooda ka joogaan mise meeshee ka joogin, qof juuq u dhihi karo maleh. Maxaa ugu wacan? Xabash awood ma gaarsiin heerkaas, ee Soomaali iyagaa isdhigay [ari meeshuu isdhigaa lagu qalaa], oo midnimadii iyo qaranimadii ka doorbiday masuuqmaasuqnimo iyo qabyaalad. Haddee Soomaalida isku duubnaan lahayeen, sida ee ahayeen '60s iyo '70s, Xabash awood ee nagu soo haweysato iska dhaafee, xataa dhankeena masoo fiirin lahayn. Teeda kalena Soomaali dhulkeeda shisheeye kusoo duulo tan ma ugu horeynin, oo in la isku dhiibo ma'aha, damiirkana ma galaayo, inkastoo jeesto kaa tahay. Cismaaniyiintii baa yimid, Burtuqiis baa yimid, Masaaridii ayaa timid, Cummaaniintii ayaa yimid, Ingiriis, Faransiis iyo Talyaani ayaa halmar isla yimid, kuligoodna laga raacdeeye dhulkeene hooyo. Wax isku dhiibayna ma jirin. Maanta Xabash ciyaalkiisa xataa waxee cunaan heysan iskuma dhiibeyno, habeenkii xaley tagay. Sheeko aan hadda kahor maqli jiray ayaaba soo xasuustay. Nin ayaa laga hayaa asagoo yiri: Reer Qansax ayaa shisheeye soo weeraray, oo laaye. Juuq ma dhihin, oo maxaa iga galay. Reer Qurac baala soo weeraray, oo la tirtiray. Jiiq ma dhihin maxaa iga galay, tolkeyga ma'aha. Reer Boocbooc ayaa lasoo weeraray, la wada dhameeye. Afka ma kala qaadin, iskaba dhaaf hiilis. Markii dambe reerkeyga Reer Tiintiin ayaa lasoo weeraray, qof ii soo gurmato ayaan waaye maadaama walaalaheey la wada laaye. Marka sheekadaas ayee ku jirtaa Soomaalida, marxalada maanta jirto tol/jilib/laf/bah/reer/qoys waaka weyntahay. Halhal hala isku fiirsado, intii halhal loo dhameenaayo walaalaha Soomaaliyeed. Laakiin ma dhaceyso, as long as damiir Soomaali leh, qaranimo iyo daljecelnimo ku jirto noolyihiin.

Aidid said: "This is just speculation and we have not received any information." Of course. Yaala tashanaayo qashin. Their master, Sanaawi, knows what happens in Jubbooyinka than themselves since beforehand loogu sheego asaga by his own American master, maadaama uu maanta dalka dhan uu occupier ku yahay, asagaa lala tashtaa. Even Xamiid Qarsaay, as powerless and lame duck as he is, is informed when masaakiinta reer Afgaan lagu laayo bambooyinkaas Galbeedka u adeegsadaan dadkaas maatida ah. Then again Xamiid Qarsaay at least controls Kabul.

Naceyb Soomaalinimo halkaan ayee dadka gaarsiisay. Xabash qofna kaaba haayo, ee u tag, isku dhiib. Dhulkooda kaama dheero maadaama aad Hargeysa joogtid, starting right after Xarare on the highway to Addis Ababa, ugu tag meeshaas.

And what, pray tell, would one call a Soomaali isku sheeg, supposedly Muslim, supporting and cheerleading into an ultimate alalaas Xabash's airbombing of Soomaali cities and towns, in the process murdering and eradicating Eebbe knows how many innocent mothers and grandparents? How can one even dare to stand where there is no ground by supporting the mother of shame, un-Islamic and un-Soomaali, when the Sanaawi Xabash boasts killing thousands of our youth, barely coming out of their ages, yet the cheerleading squad are the loudest? What would a madaxyare Father of Stooge madaxweyne ku sheeg of dowlad ku sheeg that without a prior knowledge or consultation from Americans [that alone tells qashinka uu yahay, a nobody lagu shaqeysto], from the American's massive airbombing poor gaaljire nomads in forests of Jubbooyinka, and their so-called madaxyare Father of Stooge immediately labelling them "terrorists" -- what would one, again, call those easily qabyaalad-corrupted folks who support men like that old, senile man? Waa yaab. Ifkii ayaa la gadaalgadiye. Gaduudkii ayaa cagaar laga dhigay before our very eyes. Muslimkii ayaa gaal laga dhigay, gaalkii Muslim noqday. Sokeeye ayaa shisheeye laga dhigay, sokeeyihiina shisheeye ah. Gaaljirihii, hooyooyinkii iyo carruurtii ayaa "terrorist" laga dhigay, Xabashkii a historical enemy isku ahayn, terrorist Soomaali public ku ahaa, oo soo duulay, invaded our country, dad iyo dugaagna u dhaafin waxba, laga dhigay widaay sokeeye oo "halgame" ah. Yaab iyo yaabkeeda.

I just knew it. She is paid to monitor Soomaali sites regarding this mafia, Maldives-registered company called Rangers. Yes, that is right, this shady company and others it is affiliated with, is registered in Maldives. That alone tells you something.

Ababaay, Reer Windsor, Ontario, Kanada, did indeed their share. Saas ayaa la rabaa aqiyaarta degan magaaladdaa degnaan jiray. I can even recognize old pals from the pictures. Well done, Reer Windsor. Banaanbaxan ayaa waxa uu ka dhacay Bartamaha magaalada Windsor, Ontario, ee dalka Canada gaar ahaan xafiiska laga xukuma magaalada Windsor ee City Hall maalintii Jimcada oo tariikhdu aheyd January 19, 2007. Banaan baxan oo ay soo qaban qaabiyeen ururka Midowga Jaaliyad Soomaaliyeed ee dalka dibadiisa ku dhaqan United Somali Diaspora. Waxaana taageero u fidiyay banaan baxan kana soo qeybgalay ururada Bulshada ee magaalada Winsdor oo ay ka mid yihiin: Windsor Peace Coalition oo ah urur mar walba u taagan kana soo horjeeda dagaalada lagu qaado dadka iyo dalalka laga awooda badan yahay ee xaq darada ah. That is Maxamed, my old schoolmate, high school isla aadi jirnay back in late '90s. W. D. Lowe, baby. Saas aa lagaa rabaa, macalinka. Keep holding the beautiful flag. This guy deserves an honorary Soomaali citizen. Waa nin ka fiican qashinka Xabashka u kabadhaqaayo. Qashintaas uu dhaamaa boqolkiiba boqol. Soomaaliya ha jirto waligeed, indeed. Max'ed Calicaliyoow [in the middle], well done, duqa. Long time iga dheh. Another non-Soomaali who deserves in laga dhigo Soomaali. More pics _________________ Next banaanbax already waxaa sameeye Reer Vancouver. Nicely done. Stay tuned for the pictures and info.

I didn't read this thread's posts, so pardon me. I can bet on my life, though, one silent lurker will respond: Art. Is she already in, if not art, where art thou? Kamoon awt. Mention this mafia company called Rangers, and art mysteriously re-appears.

Dhuusamareeb, Iskushuban iyo Daacuunsoor.

Ayaandaro. Yaa ogaado Addis Ababa ayaaba already loo qaaday and torturing him has started. Maskiinka Bashiir, Eebbe ha u gargaaro.

In Soomaali politics, it is called looma dhamo. A very familiar misused phrase, that burburiye the last 14 conferences. It is either I-will-have-all-and-nothing mentality. Compromise, wadaagnimo iyo tanaasul ma jiro.
