When were they born -What happend to them -What was their quest -What impact did they have(all three have a statue like the Sayyid so they must have done something good lol..) - do you have more info about them?? please add Dhagaxtuur, unlike other taalooyin, wasn't a taalo dedicated to a sole individual, but to a common collective memorial dhacdo. Halyeey Xaawo Taako is one one of the best known figures from that dhacdo [event]. I don't know where she was born, but I think inay ku dhalatay Jubbada Hoose. Halyeey Xaawo Taako's sole quest was she literally have given up her life to Soomaalinimo and her bravery and geesinimo. Iyadoo nafta ka baxeysay ayee dhagax wali tuureysay against the colonial Talyaaniga, who wanted loo badiyo the mandate and their stooge supporters. She also sold what meager personal possesions she had to support the nationalist parties, particularly SYL. She was a true, epitomic nationalist. There was also another taalo, not known by many, dedicated to Macalin Jaamac. It was a beautiful taalo, asagoo buug aqrinaayo waliba. Daljirka Dahsoon, like Dhagaxtuur, was an event. Its monument, above, still stands in Xamar. I think it was a collective memorial dedicated to Soomaalis who died for their liberation of their lands. I am not sure, though. Some say it is our equivalent version of Unknown Soldier, dedicated to those who fought the liberation wars of Soomaalida.

Only in Oodweyne is he able to take a chance by politicizing every thread, by bringing Max'ed Siyaad Barre and his "defeated lot" to our attention, lest we ever miss it.

Somalis should never have a national Government and they should never be allowed to live in peace I am increasingly seeing and hearing this conspiracy, outlandish myth that Mareykanka not wanting a real, functioning government in Soomaaliya. This is ludicrous. Excuse kale ayee waayeen dadkaan miyaa?

Did not know Zanjabiil was Arabic word. Close to Zanjibaar. Talow ma halkaas laga keenaa Carabta called it sanjabiil, naming it where they first encountered it, the Sanjibaar island. The English corrupted it to Sansibaar. [Zanzibar.] I don't think the r and the dh regional variation has to do with Hindi. It is just a regional norms. We may not, however, know, but we do mutually share more words in Afhindi and its sisterly related languages than we realize. Most probably known are gaari and rooti, there are however more. Guri [They say "gari" or gara.] Awlaad [children] Duufaan ["Storm/blizzard/tornado/twister." I am still surprised of this word that we share some sub-languages of Hindida. They say dhaavaan.] Haa Shib [shib dheh. Aamus. Quiet.] Garaac/gargaraac [irida garaac or knocking doors] Baraf Roogso [it is in Afmaay for "stop." In Afmaxaatiri, it is joogso. Maanya [beachy sand, used by dadka degan degmooyinka ku teedsan xeebta, like cara maanyo iyo gabareeymaanyo (mermaid). Though not found in contemporary Hindi other related language, but it can be found languages far off in Indonesia or Maleysia.] Jeeb [jeebka shaatiyada; pocket] Badal [changing. I think it derives from Carabi, too (?)] And of coure, the word "beeso," which Sawaaxiliga use too. Is it Carabi as well?

Reer Masar are our closest brothers in Jaamacadda Carabta. We've mutual interests and common adversary: Sanaawi. Neither do they occupy Soomaali Galbeed nor advocate the dismemberment of Soomaaliya. In fact, Masar strongly and adamantly supports the unity and brotherhood of Soomaaliya. Masar, along with Suuriya, Sacuudiya and Ciraaq, supported our liberation Soomaali Galbeed war with the other Amxaar Mengista in late '70s. We also have some historical connection. Masar, along with Suudaan, Bakistaan and Malaysia, to this day sponsor Soomaali students to learn at any university free. And you dare to suggest to us this nation is our "enemy" and that quudato Sanaawi is our Soomaali "friend." How dare of you to even suggest that, what the blind can see and deaf can hear and sanqool can smell.

Koo qaaday alankeey Aliyoow Taruuri. See haayta?

Couldn't the Somali word {"Qaxwo") have a more direct origin in the Arabic "Qaxwe"? A few people even say "Qaxwe" actually. Haa, qaxwo is derived from Carabi. I didn't write it wasn't on above. Soomaalis, however, use bun when they are beans, even when it is cooked along with digirta. But it becomes qaxwo, a Carabi word, when it is wax la cabo. A bit discrepancy, I guess. By the way, I am amazed that a lot of Soomaalida do not know the Carabi names and Soomaali ones. Kuwa ayaa weydiinee magac Somaaliyeed ma taqanaa? And they answer, yea, listing, what, "Muxubo/Jawaahir/Isniino..." etc. The latter two are Soomaalinized, nonetheless are Carabi. Then we have those weird Persian names like Ismahaan. I don't know meesha ee naga soo gishay since Carabs themselves don't use this name. Then there are girls' names: Yurub, Aasiya, Baarliin, Baaris, Istanbuul, Ruun [Roma/Ruum]... What heck is wrong with Marko/Baraawe/Boorame/Luuq? Ka waran gabar "Luuq" la dhaho; I bet it at least sounds better than Baaris iyo Istanbuul.

Ever wonder the evolution some words undergo when introduced to other societies, languages and cultures. The cycle the word undergoes is amazing itself, really. Take, for example, the word "qaxwo." The Carabta, of course, called it qaxwe then the Cismaaniyiintii in Turkiya spelled it kahve. [The letter 'v' pronounced as 'w,' as it is to this day in many countries.] It was Italianized to caffe, then into English coffee and our own Soomaali, kafee or to turn back originally, qaxwo. No one is sure where the word qaxwo itself originally from, but since the first beans of coffee, called bun in Soomaali, was cultivated and discovered in Itoobiya, it is thought it may have an Itoobiyan origin. Coincidently, the Itoobiyaanka as well call the beans bun. How many words do you really think go under something similar evolutionary like this? Probably thousands, if not tens. I personaly believe the word "consult" in English has some relationship with the word "qunsul" in Carabi.

Duke,I heard there are only 200 soldiers left in Adhicadeeye,what is the deal,who is left to defend Sool? I thought you knew by now who actually pulls the strings behind the scenes. It doesn't involve the puppets leaders iskusheeg ah ka taliyo deeggaanadaas. It involves by a man by the name of Sanaawi. The one and the only Soomaalida la heysto war ka maqlaan, including ninka isku yaqaano "madaxweynaha" of the republic. Sad to be true, nonetheless true. Maamulada ka jiro both Waqooyi Galbeed iyo Waqooyi Bari Sanaawi hadalkiis ma diidaan, waa ninka kala haaye dagaal in uu ka dhaco meeshaas, maantana kala qaaday ciidamaas sanadooyin qoraxda ku dishay oo isku horfadhiye. You think it is coincidence ciidamadii saas isku horfadhin jiray both sides of Aricaddeeye were moved back to their respective directions a few kilometres now, in order to free one side to go another front? Caqlixumada na heysato ayee kamid tahay in anagoo walaalo ah aan iska war maqlin, aan isku dheg jalaqsiin, laakiin kan Sanaawi kasoo yeero sidii nabi loogu war maqlo.

Soomaali Galbeed is an occupied part of Soomaaliya. It will be freed one day, be it by force or whatever other means, regardless whatever bogus document a Tigrey/Amxaar writes for him/herself. We don't care; we only want our land back that cost real blood, resources and naf. If you thought the past wars was vain, think, deeply, again. We told you before and will tell you again to stop deluding yourself: There is no "Soomaali-Amxaar/Tigreey." It never was and never will be. Sanaawi "freed" his people by using force against the Xabash Mengiste, so will Soomaalis in Soomaali Galbeed. Qori caaradiis ayaa taqaniin, and you will soon see it, if not come to realize. Sanaawi -- with all his shaky, rickety, wobbly pandhandler so-called "nation" ku nool tuugsi from handouts of international community -- prays the Soomaalis to remain in this current conundrum for the foreseeable future using damiirlaawiyaal, dalkooda waxba uga galin. We, the majority Soomaalis, however, won't. The status quo won't last forever. Soomaalis -- whether they are wadaad or waranle or in between -- will unite and liberate Soomaali Galbeed, regardless how you deceive yourself telling otherwise or not. It is better for yourself to be ready as Sanaawi, a former quudato kusoo koray Soomaali taxpayers' money, knows better. Soomaali Galbeed is already more Soomaaliya region than an Amxaar/Tigreey one since it uses Soomaali shilin, uses Soomaali language in its schools and the fake "border" everybody can cross. What it requires is an official designation being part of Soomaaliya.

He finally realized there are many interpretations in Islaam when it comes to fanka iyo suugaanta, not that the former mabda' he tried to follow had an exclusive conclusion.

We Ethiopians are proud of our rich culture, long history, 3,000-year civilization, and keeping the country free of colonialists. Ethiopia is also known for not violating the territories of other countries. When Somalia had invaded Ethiopia more than twice in the past, both the Atse Haileselassie and Derg governments chased them out, but refrained from following the retreating invaders deep into the Somali territory. I don't see any difference between the writer of this article and Sanaawi he criticizes. I don't know why you are quoting his article, as though he is siding with Soomaalis. He is reinforcing the mythical, bogus history of his. What did he write? 3,000 years of "civilization," what a crap! And when he writes Amxaar's aren't known "violating" and occupying territories of others, perhaps he forget Soomaali Galbeed and Eratareeya, which they didn't acquire by but by ceded by of former ignorant colonial powers, especially Soomaali Galbeed. One already brought their freedom back. Soon, the other will follow, which almost happened before. Soomaaliya did not invade Amxaaro/Tigreey land, they want their land back. Simple as that. We almost succeeded if it weren't Cubans and Soviets.

The SSDF didn't have much agenda to cooperate,political turmoil existed within it,the USC didn't have the slightest influence on SNM just so you know. Little information for you. The later founders of USC did partcipate the creation of SNM and were initially full-fledged members of it. They may have had a little influence or not, but men such as Shabeel were part that organization, who later found their own group -- USC. That is what the article you quoted talks about.

Laakiin dacaayada micnodarada yee na wada qaadin. It is only some. Dad badan oo aqoon leh oo ixtiraam leh ayaa ka buuxo. Few of them are family friends, sida C/raxmaan Aadan Yare [C/raxmaan Ibbi] iyo Fahmo Max'ed Nuur. I'm sure dad badan iyaga kamid ah ayaa ka buuxo. Too many of them, though, have Western passports, ha ugu badnaatee the seven reer Kanada ah. Carrying a Western passport per se ma xumo, laakiin it gives them disincentive ay dalka ku joogin, instead lacagta Qarada Midoowey bixiso ku gaaf wareego ifka gees ka gees. That is dalxiis. Few of them remain in the country bilooyin isku xigo, and those few are those ka jabjabtahay oo danta u geysay. And yes, I agree some are exceptionally well-groomed.

This is selective reporting. I thought other sites were reporting Axmaaro "dagaal iyo hadal" midba diyaar ayaa ula nahay. If I am not mistaken, that was wadaad ku sheega's tune from the start. And adiga Soomaalida dagaal ayaa u rabtaa? You think Sanaawi in uu kaa xigsan doono Soomaalida kale markuu qabsado Soomaaliya, haduuba qabsan karo, which I don't think even haduu adduunyo isku keeno. Waa gartaada meesha lagu dagaalamaayo meel dadkaaga kuu degan yihiin ma'aha. Sad, but true.

Sheeko kale, this particular which I was a witness of. A couple of soons ago, during in the midst salaatul leyl -- and in during a loooooong rakaco -- we heard some weird "feminine" sound noises from the front. I thought it was my own dhago acting, and the voice might be from upstairs, where haweenka were praying. The weird, female-sounding yelling continued, and getting more and more louder, almost disrupting the salaada. Finally, salaada markii laga baxay waxaa safka hore laga soo bixiye nin baroorkiis iyo diifkiis isku dhamaaday. Qof walba waa yaxyaxay. Yarkii kor aa loo qaaday. Immediately waala ogaaday in uu jin ku jiro, a "female" one. Quraan markii la saaray, oo la wareestay, waxee tiri she "loves" him and wants to be a permanent companion of his. Waxee tiri intaas sano ayee ku dhex jirtay oo kasoo raacday meel lagu caweysto [club], long before he became wadaad, aad ayee u jeceshahay. The reason she was yelling during salaada was she couldn't stand no more the recitation of Quraanka, oo Quraanka ayaa dhibaaye. [i don't know why ay ugu bixin, perhaps mar laga baxo iyo mar la galaa jirto?] Acuudka iga dheh. Well, Quraan aqris si toos ayaa lagu bilaabay intuu waaga ka baryaaye, iyadoo qeylineyso, this time more louder and aggressive. Finally, Quraanka ayaa loogu saaray, iyadoo dhaaraneyso waliba, oo waa ku soo noqonaa ku heyso. Now, that is true caashaq.

We told you there is no "Amxaar-Soomaali," so stop misleading. There never was, never will be. Soomaali is Soomaali and Axmaar/Tigreey is Amxaar/Tigreey. Soomaali Galbeed is occupied and will soon be freed, as it was freed before only to be saved by Ruushka. This time there is no Soviet to babysit you. And it is sad dad Soomaali ku dhex jiro Amxaaradaan iyo Oromadaan [qaarkood waaba Soomaali qowmiyade kale iska dhigaayo, ayaandaranaa] u cheer gareynaayo xataa qabsashada dalkooda shuqulkooda ahayn, iskaba dhaaf inay runta u sheegaan. Saan maa Soomaali u dambeysay? Gurigooda loogu yimaado hadana loo booteeyo, hadana foolxumadii ugu weyneed loo sacabtumo. Soomaali waa is dagaashaa ma'aha inaad shisheeye ka xigsatid, oo walaalkaa dhiigiisa u sacabtuntid, as though adiga inaad ka badbaadiseysid bari. Qabyaalad heerkaas ee gaarsiisay dadka qaarkood. Walaahi wax la rumeysan karo ma'aha. Murugo iga dheh.
