A lot of emotion and exaggerated hearsay, nothing substance or factual. [Nothing new there, waa waxa lagu bartay dadka qaarkood, twisting the little facts in order to make undeniable unreality into a self-created illusive reality.] hadaba Waqtigee ayuu saxnaa Guudoomiyaha baarlamaanka , marka la isu fiiriyo Doodii Nairobi oo uu kaga soo horjeeday in Soomaaliya la keeno ciidamo ka socda Safka hore iyo waqtigii uu baydhabo yimi oo uu u ololeynayey in Soomaaliya la keeno Ciidamo aan la kala reebin oo ay ku jiraan kuwa Safka hore... From day one, Shariifka was and is against ciidamo Amxaaro/Tigreey and Kenyaati. He, like the sensible majority of Soomaalida, was also cautious about ciidamo shisheeye overall, but not downright against the idea. Is this new to the author of this article? I guess not, so why is s/he twisting the two issues together to mislead the readers? He never one day publically [which the author and I gather information from] u "ololay" ciidamo Amxaaro/Tigreey. A session of baarlamaanka he chaired passed a resolution against ciidamo safka hore ka socdo, mainly Axmaaro/Tigreey in Maarso, 2005, effectively killing once and for all, and supposed to become law. [A lot of time was devoted dagaalka gacan ka hadalka ka dhacay meesha, instead.] That should have been the law. The puppets Geedi and his president, once again, persisted, tabling again another resolution. Shariifka oo daljaceyl iyo daludhalad ka ahayd, instead of another long debate, quarrelling and possible hijacking on the horizon and other shenanigans, allowed the motion to be tabled again. It narrowly passed. Some objected since it was a see-all hand-vote -- and bribery works best when the bribed is seen -- instead of supposed secret one. The one before it as well was hand-vote, however that should have been a secret ballot had not some xildhibaano fillibustered, and when that didn't work, starting and trying to physically obstructing the vote, hence the resulted violence. Since there is no party system, which one must stick, he, like other xildhibaano, has one vote. He has influence by lobbying, which really what it is: That is it. We don't know which side Shariifka voted for, so there is no so-called "hypocricy." Again, since day one he was against Amxaaro/Tigreey troops ever being based on a Soomaali soil. So, since this "motion" was not a repealed law of the former, which law should the barlaamanka make supreme, and which one is lesser? Isn't there a technicality problem on this? Guddoomiyahu markii uu soo gaaray Baydhabo wuxuu ansixiyey in Ciidamo Soomaaliya la keeno aan lakala reebin , waxay ku tahay fashilaad maadaama uu Muqdisho arrintaa awgeed khilaafkeeda uu ugu maqnaa mudo ku dhawaada sanad iyo bar. First of all, Shariifka went to Xamar in Maajo [May] 2005, for good. He was based there until Febraayo, 2006. My math is terrible, but I am sure the lapsed time between the two dates isn't a "sanad iyo bar." Shariifka, for the sake of Soomaali people, wants to stop whatever it takes dhiiga soo socdo oo ka daadan doono his people, which would make what we had seen the last 16 years a minor play and little preview, unlike other insanely yes-men of Sanaawi u horseedaayo, without a grip of guilt, an avowed historical enemy of Soomaalis to invade Soomaaliya. They obviously preferred the consequence of what was going to happen, only fearful of their masterlord Sanaawi, not the people who they say they lead. Who will this so-called leadership lead if Sanaawi and others ay soo wadaan tirtiraan Soomaali people? Dhagaxyada iyo ciidda iyo geedaha iyo leerta? Unlike the flawed strategy of dependent men of Sanaawi and everything-for-Sanaawi, Shariifka and most sensible Soomaali people know if Amxaaro/Tigreey continue to do what they are doing and a major war breaks out, other countries wouldn't be bystanders. No. Soomaaliya would be a field. Beside the non-Carab Eritareeya, Masar, Liibiya, Suudaan, Yemen, Suuriya and other Carab countries will inevitably arm one side, except Yemen. So will Jabuuti. Uganda, Keenya may do as well for their side. So will the financiers of Sacuudiya, Talyaaniga, Iiraan, So are the so-called international "jihaadists." The former regional war of Zaire [Koongo] would be a kid's play. This is no doomsday scenerio. It is unavoidable reality that will affect the generations to come, if sensible men don't rise. Shariifka and any man with a little Soomaali ku jirto can already see a miniature version of this unfolding disproportionate tragic events of never seen before. If Shariifka did not want dowladdaan inay socoto, he would have stayed his posh house in Xamar and not bother persuading Xaabsade to accept the dowlada to come to Baydhabo. That alone ayee dowlada ku burburi lahayd, Jowhar iyo Xamar la kala fadhiyo, and the rise of wadaada ku sheega would have expedited its fall. Shariifka may or may not have other motives, however what Soomaalis applaud is his tireless effforts of styming any unnecessary bloodshed of our war-weary dad. If anybody is dagaaldoon and nabaddiid, then that person has no base to stand from to offer any credible opinion. His opinion is huu-haa, and nothing else. Little facts should not be twisted and where there is no fact, not created. And what, pray tell, baliiis, exactly is wrong with "Soomaaliya Soomaali baa leh, ciidanka Itoobiya ciideena haka baxo...?" Well, only dad Soomaalinimada iyo daljaceylnimada ku yartahay oo gumeysdoon ah ayaa dhibsado such words.

Daa'uud Waraaqle, there aren't many pictures of Xaawo Taako on the net. I came across one particular one a few years ago, soori meelba maku ogi hada. I, however, found midkaan on my PC, saved long ago [i am not sure inaad aragtay hada kahor]: Xaawo Taako You probably seen this Sayidka's one before. Kan Dhagaxtuur ayaa meel fiican laga masawiray.

Fantikuwaataro [Talyaani: venti quattro] is an FIAT-made popular model car in Xamar in the old days. The name originates from, I think, its model number. Most taksiyo had this model, so were the general population. You can see this it on picture from a so-not-long Xamar. Jaalle iyo gaduud taksida Xamar midabka la marin jiray ayuu ahaa. All also spotted one model baabuur: Fantikuwaataro. I don't know why, but FIAT had a huge non-manufacturing plant in Xamar. That has to do with it, I guess. Or perhaps it was one of the cheapest, along with Fatuurokuuseey aka Fakis [Volkswagen Beetle], pictured below along with non-taksi Fantikuwaataro.

Waxaan dhaqan Soomaaliyeed iyo Muslimba midba ma'aha. We don't need to trivilize something as serious as this, where innocent, masaakiin dhiig ku daaday. Unfortunate, saddening argagax events and those who perpetrate them should universally, unequivocally condemned. Soomaaliya cannot, will not and should not be Ciraaq or Afgaanistaan. Yaa runtii habaaray Soomaali? Mar meeshii xumeyd markii la gaaro wax ka daran ayaa imaado, going low, low, low ebb. Soon hadii saan lagu socdo Soomaali wax jiri jiray ayee noqon doonaan hadee cawaanta dalkeena saas u horseeday aan waxba qaban, intii shisheeye loo dabanaageynaayo meelba ma gaareyno. Kuwa qaraxaan ayee ku qoslayaan. Kuwana Amxaaro dabanaageyskooda, both offline and online, ayee lasoo shirtagayaan, bilaa xishood la'aan. Kuwana Soomaali waa ka baxnay ayee taagan yihiin oo Soomaali ma nihin, oo walaalahooda saas ku fiirsadaan, oo iyaga in aan loo soo socon bari moodaan, hadiiba horey kor loogu maamulin, oo maskaxda laga qabsan sida dhacday already. Intii soo hartay dhimirka fiyoowaa, oo qumanayd iskuma xirno. Macbuudoow, Eebboow, xaalka sahal.

LoL. Gabdho baabuur wado maa wax weyn noqotay, that now it is newsmaking? I think the wararka is slow in Hargeysa. Reminds me being told my sister driving her Fantikuwataaro in '70s. In mid '80s as boys, maxee xeebta Jasiira noogu kaxeysay. Almost a dozen boys ka buuxo one as fatuuro kuuseey as that little Fantikuwaataro.

Our problem isn't Alqaacida or other bases. It is others' problem. Our problem is the mastermind Soomaaliya ka degi la' the last 14 years, midba midka kale hub iskugu siinaaye: Sanaawi. He is an avowed enemy of Soomaaliya and anything Soomaali.

Originally posted by General Duke: MMA, you of all people should not insult anyone. Confused as you are , hating indaCade and loving his boss Abdiqasin...incredible. Then you say Yusuf is a puppet , yet all your leaders including Xabsade are below him in stature. Oh I remember the Saransoor dude making noise where is he now? As for the courts, they will be dealt with soon as President Yusuf gives the order. Your land will get liberated insha Allah and things will be swell. Melez is an ally, being Tigray means nothing, since Afarwarki is an ally of Abdiqasin and the courts and the Djibouti dude has over 1800 US isoldiers based in his country. It is all politics.... Unlike you, I don't call Soomaaliya an "idea." Unlike you, I don't disregard Soomaaliya and Soomalinimo if your qabyaalad way don't work. Unlike you, I don't entertain secession for qabiil-based lands because the stooge of Sanaawi couldn't lead a country. Unlike you, I wouldn't cheer Amxaar/Tigreey isku sheeg meeshaan ku jiro that "I agree with you/Nice points" kuma dhahaaye, when this same Tigreey/Amxaar isku sheeg wants to dismember your very own nation. Oh, then again, that very nation isn't a nation of yours at all, since you call it an "idea," not a reality. Unlike you, Soomaaliya is a real country to me. Never have a doubt in it and would never call my nation, state and country an "idea." Never. Unlike you, I do know my real enemies. I, on my life, know Sanaawi cares not that who is who in Soomaali or whose qabiil one belongs or other pity daily squables meeshaan lagu haayo, but wants to more Soomaali lands and to destroy Soomaalinimo, as his mentor Xeyle Salaase believed. His vision, Mengista's and Xeyle Salaase's all visions waxba iska dhaamaan: To destroy Soomaalinimo and Soomaaliya one reer and tuulo at a time. Unlike you, I don't "hate" clans collectively to score a qabyaalad comeback. I see what I see wrong and criticize, not what clans one belongs. I criticize Indhamadoowe, not because of his clan, but because of his occupation politicies. I don't see the picture where C/qaasin enters. I don't believe "hebel baa yiri." I believe wax aan indhaheey ku arko. Unlike you, I don't use other occupied lands and people [as you do with Shabeellada Hoose] as a score against the occupier because the occupier is against the Sanaawi stooge you support, but when another occupier [kii Kismaayo laga ceyriye] is in the same room with the Sanaawi stooge, no problem, because he is with "us." Unlike you, I do know cadaalad. Unlike you, also, I don't support or defend dagaal-ooge iyo qabqable, call them Xaabsade or Saransoor or Indhamadoowe or Cabdillaahi Yuusuf Axmed or Qanyare or Suudi Yalaxoow. Unlike you, everyone knows Cabdillaahi Yuusuf is the ultimate ridiculous stooge of Sanaawi, a shameless dalkiisa usoo horseeday Amxaaro/Tigreey waliba isla quman. Unlike you, my Soomaalinimo waa igu dheertahay, will never cheer for a Amxaar/Tigreey. Neither offline nor online. Never.

What the %$#& is the Canadian flag doing at the back? And this safaarada Soomaalida ee Kenya, with a Canadian flag. Darn, meeshaan ayaa qaatir bilaah kala joognay, hadana safaaradaheena muu noogu horeeyaa?

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.
