Soomaal, Indhamadoowe is gacanta midig of maxkamadaha ku sheega. Without him and his little cousins of Cirfo, Goobaale, Dhuxuloow, Seeraar -- they just wouldn't have reached where they are now. Ma kala haraan. I don't know why dadka u kala bixiyaan, as though they are separate. Indhamadoowe is the so-called courts, they themselves made it official by appointing him at one of the top posts, though he declined publically, but behind the scenes asagaa maamulo wax badan. They can go all the way to Jalalaqsi, pressuring the locals there to support them, but, yeah, waala iska indhatiraa to liberate the occupied Afgooye oo Xamar afka u saaran, iskaba dhaaf Marka, Baraawe iyo Kismaayo. Indhamadoowe is the power, the force behind it, and he, eventually, will be the one who disintegrates it hadee afaarahiis soo faragishtaan. Only a todobaadyo ago, sawirkaan ayaa laga soo qaaday. Joe Gordon, Head of the UN Security Somalia, shakes hands with Yusuf Indha'adde, right, one of the officials of the Islamic Courts when he visited the Mogadishu airport, Monday, July 3, 2006. U.N. officials assessed security conditions in the Somali capital on Monday and met leaders of the Islamic group that has seized control of Mogadishu, the first formal contact between the two sides since the militants' dramatic rise to power in the city. The two-member U.N. security team visited Mogadishu's airport and sea port during a preliminary assessment of conditions at the facilities likely to be used by aid agencies that are considering stepping up humanitarian operations there.

Hada kahor shabakada Hiiraan la dhaho ayaan qoraal gaaban u qoray. Inkastoo aan qoraalo u qorin shabakooyinka, midaas inaan qoro ayaa damcay. Shabakada Hiiraan qoraalada ninka ugu soo tabiyo Xamar, ama wariyahooda ugu weyn waa qoraalle dhab ah, oo xirfad u leh. Shabakooyinka kale waa ku yar yihiin wax xirfadaas leh. Maadaama uu saas yahay ayaan damcay sanadooyin kahor inaan wax u yar u sheego. Bogga Hiiraan markaa aqrineysid wararka Soomaaliga meeshee ku qoran tahay wuxuu ka bilaabaa sidaan Jimco, July 14, 2006 (HOL), markaas ayaan damcay inaa kula taliyo in uu shaxo taariikhda saan u qorno. Intuu ka dhihi lahaa 'July' uu almiina [inkastoo Talyaani yahay hadana wax baa ka badalnay], waa in uu u qoro Luulyo. [Talyaaniga 'Julio' uu dhahaa, anagana waa badalanay saa u jeedid oo waaba wax gooni noo noqotay camal.] Wuu ii soo jawaabay, asagoo i leh waa ku mahadsanatahay laakiin dad ajnabi ayaa qoraaladeena aqristo saas ayaa ugu wacan. Markaa arkay waxaas qosol aaba iga dhamaan waaye maxaa yeelay qoraalka dhan af Soomaali ku qoran, marka maxaa loogu baahan yahay meesha kaliya in lagu qoro taariikhda. Qof ajnabi haduu qoraalkaas af Soomaali ku qoran aqrisan karo, ee markaas Luulyana waa fahmi karaa micnaheeda.

Ar af Soomaali maxaa lagu jibjibiye mahaan. Afkeena ka qaleeya yaaqeey, saan ha u galina, mala fiirsan karee. Juuje, ha dhaaf widaayoow. Kursi jiif ki fadheew, shaah dhan, wan dhan. Hooba wal kala fadaasa, iinsheeg.

An airplane crying Arab League delegates... Typo iga dheh. Shabeelle iyo Soomaalinet yaa wararka Ingiriis ugu qoro taloow? Kuwii af Soomaaliga ku qori jireen ayee butcher gareyn jireen, maxaa u geeye af Ingiriis. Waxaas warar professional u eg inay gaaraan iska dhaafee, xataa ereyadii ayeeba kala garan la yihiin. Perhaps I should apply to Shabeelle as a reporter to supplement my kumi iyo taano income. I once took journalism 101 once, yuu noow.

Meel Eebbe keeno waa joogaa, waa taagan yahay. Cirfiid miyaa waxa mise kaamirada uu ka helaa. I also subtlely see dharka uu badasho, awal shaati caadi uu qaadan jiray, markuu ajnabiga la kulmaayana jaakad suit ah isku taagi jiray, xataa mar asagoo garabaati wato lagu masawiray, maanta reer Afgaanistaan ama Bakistaan ismooday soo gishtay shaatigii dheeraa iyo surwaalkii gaabnaa. Marba meeshee xaalada mareyso ayaa la isku labisaa dheh, Indhamadoowoow. Indhamadoowe tii asxaabtaada ku dhacday, Qanyare iyo Yalaxoow ku dhacday mid ka daran inay kugu dhaceyso sug. Maahmaahdii maxee ahayd, cagtii joogsan weyso mar ee ceeb la kulantaa? Ar maxaa ceeb kuu dhiman. You wait, balaayo xaaraan ku nool.

Originally posted by art: Miskiin, I cannot but help recall your words quote: And what you were looking, just the breaking news is in: The Buntilaan parliament cancelled its contract with Range Resources Ltd. Sad for you, I guess. Better find another 'investing' endeavour in Liberia or Sierra Leone That was intended as a joke, art. I should have thought otherwise, I guess. I am still insisting you won't get that much from this venture in Buntilaan, regardless what its state parliament approves, as long as Soomaaliya is as divided and as chaos as it is now. Soomaalis already had enough with terrible results of human misery as a result of its clan resources, I don't want another prolonged internal wars on disputed natural resources.

Waxaa ka hadlaaye waa kanaa. Boorkaan aa u jeedid waxa ku qoran waxaa soo qabanqaabiye Jaamacadda Muqdisho, oo ay ku dhagsanayd meel ay kulan ku lahayeen maalin dhawayd. Boorka kalena waxa ku dhagsanaa waxaan: Marka saa u jeedid hadii 'waxgaradkii' af Soomaaliga ka faantamaayaan oo dalkooda joogo, maxaa ka sugee kuwii kale awalka iska liitay dhanka waxbarashada. Ninkaas, in la dhahaa jeclahay Cali Dheere, meesha ku masawiran sawirka labaad Xamar aan kulanay sadex sano kahor oo ahayd meeshee ku masawiran yihiin oo waagaas la dhisaaye, qofka maamulo waaye Jaamacadda Xamar. Yar ajnabi oo Mareykan u dhashay hay'adna ka socday ayee Xamar meelahee wax ku baraan kusoo wareejinayeen, anigana soo raac soo arag ayee i dhaheen. Waa nin Sacuudiga wax kusoo bartay, jecelna dhaqan Carbeed. Inaan weydiiyo ayaa fiicneed su'aalaha maxaa afkooda hodanka u diiday oo ugu ganbadaan, oo ay kor ugu qaadeynin. Ayaandaro wax kalaa ka fikiraaye maalintaas.

Maxee tahay afxumeyntaan iyo caayda soo noqnoqeyso? Dad waa weyn mar walba aflagaada laga celinaayo? War dadyahoow isku xishooda, sharafta ha iska qaadina, baliis. Don't force us to edit caayda from your posts. Wah.

Todobaadkaan [ka bilaawaneyso 13 Luulyo], on the Chosen Leaders' itinerary, my bet on last week had paid off. One leader couldn't remain in the country. Geedi went out to the unofficial magaalo madax of our country, to Neyroobi, where he still remains. Shariifka and Cabdillaahi Yuusuf have, shockingly, still remained in the country for the time being. Will this week's bet pay next week? Will they all remain in the country come next week? We will see, but as usual I don't think all three, whose dabo-cuncuneyso, will be in Baydhabo. Dalmar continues to chronicle.

Aflagaadada iyo magacaabista qabaa'ilada hala yareeyo, aqiyaareey. This is still moderated forum. Si walba haloo murmee, aflagaada hala iska dhowro.

Salaan... Hadee yihiin Carab iyo hadee ahaynba, maxee soo kordhinee cajalkaan? Dad fikirkooda aamisan waaye, oo meeshee ku maqlaan in uu "jihaad" ka socdo iskugu tagaan. Boosniya ayee ka dagaalameen; Shisheen [Chechnya]; Afgaanistaan; oo xataa Filibiin Muslimiinta xagaas ka dagaalamaayo ayee tageen. Marka wax weyn masoo kordhineyso hadee waxee u arkaan 'xaqa' lagu dalaamaayo Xamar ka socdo, oo taageero u imaadeen. Cajalkaan iskaba dhaaf, ani fikrad ahaanteey inay ajnabi dalka joogaan waaba aaminsanahay, oo maalintaa arkay kuwaas wajigooda u duuban oo camaamadaas ku qarsaday, maalintaas ayaa shaki i galay. Yee iska qarinayaan? Ma cadoow sidii Falastiiniyiinta Yahuuda iskaga qariyaan camal maa jiro oo ay iska qariyaan? Sabab ayee wajigooda u da'deen. Teeda kalena xiro weyn ayaa jirto ku taalo waqooyiga Xamar, meeshee meydii Talyaaniga ku xabaalnaan jiray, oo dad loo ogol yahay jirin, ka ahayn dadka ugu sareeyo wadaada ku sheega. Xiradaas ayaa lagu xantaa inay ajnabiga ku sugan yihiin.

So he took a page out of Attaturk's book and decided to uproot Islam from the lives of the people: Ban the hijab. Discourage/ban prayer. Introduce a cult system where the dictator is subtly worshipped as a demigod. Riducle religion as an archaic relic of the Middle Ages. And when did Max'ed Siyaad Barre 'ban' the xijaab? When did he 'discourage' or outright 'ban' the salaada? And 'ridicule the religion,' how? He may have ordered the killing of 11 wadaado, but the fact was compared to other cult-accumulating dictators of his time, his was a moderate and mild, considering he never actually had that classical, true definition of 'demigod' totalitarian. His face may have been forced on countless stores and other small business places, but the true fact was his face was never on the currency [one of the true features of a dictatorship], not even a single shilin. Even the so-called non-dictators of his time couldn't resist, like Daanyeerkii Ismooday Carab [Daniel Arap Moi], whose propagandic youthful face is splashed all shillings to this day. He never had a taalo or statue dedicated to him in the capital or the countryside. He only had a single building named after him in the whole country, and it was a minor sar of a military training at such. Sure he was nonetheless a dictator, however definitely not on the ranks of Ataturk.

Nin ila fahmay adigaaba ka jiro meeshaan. Sababta aan u isticmaalo ereyga widaay ama widaayoow waxaa ugu wacan anigoo iska ilaalinaayo isticmaalka ereyada aan loo baahneen ee shisheeye, siiba Carabiga. Saas ayaan iskaga ilaaliyaa inaan isticmaalo 'saaxiib' oo aan ku badasho widaay oo ah erey Soomaali dhab ah, inkastoo Soomaali badan aan garaneynin micnihiis. Waligoodba waxaa jiray dad jeclaa inaan ku hadalno af Carabiga, intaa ku hadli lahayn af noo gooni ah ee Soomaaliga. Waligoodba waxee dhihi jireen wadamada nagu hareersan [waxee ka wadaan Masar, Liibiya, Tuniisiya iyo Algeeriya iyo Marooko] kale ee diinta Islaamka qaatay af Carbeed ayee qaateen maxaa u diiday Soomaalida. Ayaandaro dadkaan saan aaminsanaa Soomaali ayee ahayeen, walina yihiin. Maanta dadkaas ayaa fursad helay, ka koow waa qolooyinka surwaalka gaabsado. Iyagoo ku haayo markaa aragtid 'akhii' iyo 'ukhtii,' inte ka dhihi lahayeen walaal ama aboowe/abaayo. Intii yarayd af Soomaaliga loo haaye ayee rabaan inay sii tirtiraan, qaarkood qoraalo ayeeba ka qoreen rabitaanka ay rabaan af Carabiga, ayna rabin af Soomaaliga oo hada kahor aqriye. Waligaa muxaadaro [erey Carabi ah] oo dadkaas fikirkaas qabo wadaan ma tagtay? Waxaa arkee iyagoo ku haayo ereyo loo baahneen oo Carabi ku wado qudbada [erey Carabi kale]. Tusaale, sheekh inta joogo waxaa jiro jecel ereyada Carabiga inuu isticmaalo, intuu ka isticmaali lahaa ereyada Soomaaliga. Waa caadadiis, inkastoo aanan hubin in uu iska warqabo iyo inkale. Waa sheekh caan ah magaaladaan. Waxaan ka dhandhansadaa markuu muxaadarada soo jeedinaayo, ereyo badan aanan loo baahneen ku dardaro, qaas ahaan hal erey aan ka xasuustaa uu jecel yahay had iyo jeer in uu ku celceliyo, ereygaasna ah matalan, intuu ka dhihi lahaa tusaale, matalan ayuu ka jecelyahay in uu isticmaalo. Kuwii kalena Talyaani iyo Ingiriis ee dhanka kale ka wadaan, inkastoo wanaag ahaan Talyaani dib u dhacay hada. Ar maxaa la maqli jiray 'aloore' waayadii hore. Waaba laga neefsaday hada, wax yar ka ahayn.

Wax Soomaalida ku saabsan lasoo shirtag, sida heblaayo jecel inay aroos ka maqnaan, xaajigeena wadaad ah oo neceb. Mise jaamac jaad ka kicin, ooradiisana maskiin suufi iska ah oo jaad u dulqaadan karin. Ama xaaska jecel inay qolka uunsi ku shido, asagana sanboor qabo neceb. Ama dahab ama dirac intaas joog ha la isku gato jecel xaaska, asagana in uu awoodo iska dhaafee, taano ma uu quuro waa baqeyl ama faqiir. Ama heblaayo telefoonka see aroortii u qabsado salka dhexe ayee dhigtaa, asagana wax cunto u kariyo ayuu waaye. Ama jaamacana suu galabtii biibato qaxwo lagu cabo u fariisto uu ku afleerinaayo uu habeenkii waqtiga dambe soo noqdaa, iyadoo see u sugeysay daashay, ciyaal ka warqab iskaba daa. Not 'vegetarian' ama 'meat eater,' mise 'like horror movies' or 'not like horror movies.'

Ereyga SOL af qalaad maahinoo, widaayoow? Horta marka koowaad kusoo dhawoow golahaan gaarka ah. Tan labaad mida kaliya aan ku xishmeen jiray dowladii hore kacaanka waxee ahayd sidee igu taxluujisay afkeena hormarkiisa. Jaamacada ugu sareysay dalka, waa Gaheyr, maadooyinka lagu dhigi jiray waxaa lagu sheegi jiray afkeena hooyo. Waa dalka kaliya Afrika saas ka ahaa, marka laga reebo wadamada Carabiga ku hadlo, xataa kuwaas, sida Tuniisiya iyo Marooko, saas uma ahayn, oo Faransiiska ku dari jiray. Isla jaamacadaas waxee lahayd kuliyad lagu turjumo, ifafaalan jiray erayada qalaad, oo sanad walba lasoo saari jiray. Kuwii af Soomaali loo waayo, afka Soomaaliga ayaa loo ekeysiin jiray. Intuu dalka qasnaa ereyadaas, ayaandaro, badankood waa wada dhumeen maanta. Waxa kaliya laga xasuusto waa dhif maanta. Heer in meeshii laga sii wade iska dhaafee, maanta hoos ayaa loo dhacay. Laba af ayaa dalkeena lagu tartamaa. Iskooladii manhaj ajnabi ayaa loogu dhigaa, ama Carabi mise Ingiriis. Taariiq ama juqraafi Soomaaliyeed in loo dhigo iska iloow. Mar badan ma aragtay sawirada xaflado laga soo qaado meelaha ee bulshada iskugu imaadaan ee dalkeena ka dhaco? Waxaa ku qoran boorarka meesha yaalo af Ingiriis ama Carabi, oo Soomaaliga qashinka lagu daray. Tusaale koowaad. Jaamacadaha Xamar ku yaalo, sida dhabta loo yaqaano waa af qalaad. Aan kasoo qaadano Jaamacada Muqdisho, dhabtii waxaa loo yaqaanaa "Mogadishu University" oo waxii dhabta ah oo jiro saas ku qoran, sida dukumentiga iyo saxiixyada. Taarkooda weyna markii la galaayo saas ku dhegsan iyo ereyada Carabiga u dhigmo. Sidaas camal Jamaacada Banaadir. Hoteeladii sidaas camal. Waagii hore dadka isku kalsoon ayaan ahayn, oo hoteeladeena afkeena aan ula bixi jirnay. Maanta? Kuwa ugu caansan maanta af qalaad ee la baxeen, sida Saxaafi, Ambassador, Global, Peace iyo wixii lamid ah, meeshii waagi hore ka ahayd Guuleed, Wehliye, Shabeelle, Jubba... Tukaamadii saas camal. Tukaan walba aad aragtid al uu ka biloowdaa maanta, sida Al Shukri, Al Bakaraad, Al Xarameyn... Iskooladii saas. Iskooladii Xamar ugu caansanaa qaarkood magacyadii laga badalay, oo lagu badalay 'abuu hebel.' Tusaale Iskoolada Sheekh Madar iyo Koowda Maajo maanta Al Shaafici ayaa la isku dhahaa. Kii Banaadir Sare asagana magac kale aan xasuusan uu lee yahay oo Carabi ah. Qofka kaliya dhibsado dabardarada afkeena hodanka ah ku dhacday kaligeey ayaan ismoodi jiray meeshaan ku jiro. Waa wax fiican inaan arko dad ila wadaago inay jiraan oo aan meeshaan isla wadaagno.

This is pure propaganda. Aqri the crap they wrote: Several other girls are said to have turned to prostitution after being dumped by their husbands in the US, Canada, the UK and South Africa. The same fate has befallen their colleagues in Garissa Town. Some have hired rooms in the sprawling slums of Windsor, Bosnia and California on the outskirts of the town which they use as brothels. _____________ Although the wedding is somewhat private as only a few people are allowed in, all the Somali rites are performed, including slaughtering a camel or a bull. And amid applause and cheers from the small crowd of relatives and friends, the bride is given a standing ovation as she says: "I do" to an absent bridegroom. After the ceremony, the bride is led to her new matrimonial house where she will be forced to spend lonely nights until the groom arrives. _______________ The broker in a foreign country enters into a deal with a man desiring to have sex with or marry a beautiful Somali girl in Kenya. The broker sends the message and money to a fellow middleman in Kenya with the instruction that he take video pictures of a group of girls either dancing or just walking around. So the Kenyan broker goes to a function such as a wedding ceremony where dancing takes place, or he organises a dance and invites girls and young women. The videotape is then sent to the broker in the foreign country who delivers it to the man who has hired him for the job. And when the man finally identifies the girl of his choice, he asks the broker to deliver the message to her parents. The message is delivered through the Kenyan middleman, who informs the girl's parents and tells them how much money their daughter’s suitor is willing to offer as the bride price. Of course, the negotiations take place without the girl's knowledge. And, as it has turned out, the sole interest of these men is sex. "Of course, if one proposes to pay me more than Sh1 million to give him my daughter for marriage, I can’t decline to take the offer," a parent says, adding that it is impossible to earn such big money in the region where poverty is endemic. "Or how else can I raise a million shillings while my income is only from my few livestock?" Waxaan caado Soomaali ma'aha. Mana jirin. Mana jirto maanta. They misintepreted our culture, yacni qof dibada ka yimaado marrying a gabar Soomaali dalka joogto to make Soomaalis in bad light. Some may abuse this, but overall never is this dire they make it to be. I thought British daily tabloids in lagu yaqaanay waxaan. The Nairobi Daily Nation should focus the huge gap between the affluent, wealthy, corrupt-laden residents of Westland and poverty-laden, disease-laden residents of Kibera. Or how series adulterous are Keenyaati men.

Nuune is right, Jarmalka should have been in finalka, instead of that rufyaaniinta, laaluush-ku-socodka iyo maafiyada Talyaaniga. Ciyaarahooda dhan waa crap, mala fiirsan karo. Mar ee istuur-tuuraan iyo mar ee complain "barkee barkee" ee la daba taagan yihiin to garsooraha. I am glad Burtuqiiska waa hareen, and Sinadiin Sayid Sidaane's team is in. Unimaginable hadee labadaas cheating teams-- waa Burtuqiiska iyo Talyaaniga -- ah isku soo bixi lahayeen finalka. The whole final istuur-tuurid ee noqon lahayd iyo firinbi yeeris then. Been been iyo booto ayee Jarmalka kaga raayeen, kalabiinta Talyaaniga ah. [soori, waa igu kacsan tahay.] Perhaps Jarmalka rigoor ayee ka fikiraayeen, which they, the Talyaaniga, would never has had a chance against Jarmalka when it comes to rigooro. Jarmalka are the masters of penalty kickers, gees ka gees ayaa loo tuuraa bahasha, boortaha ma haweysan karo, iska dhaafee inuu qabto. I wanted them to humiliate the Buffon boorto.

Aflagaada la'aan mala doodi [koleey threadkaan wax dood la dhaho ka foge] karo miyaa iyadoo meesha soo galin afxumo ama caay? Hadaa iloowdeen, this is still a moderated forum. Caay soo noqnoqneyso looma dulqaadan doono. Hala is ixtiraamo, oo si quman haloo doodo, baliis.

Hokey, gabarta quruxda badan. Sawirkaaga inta soo saar. Let's rate it, and see how 'quruxleey' you are. Fair deal, I suppose. Eebbe ummadiis waxba haka sheegin, qofka si baa loo abuuray. Qof kaamil ah ayaa iska yar, ninba ama naagta meel ayaa laga hayaa. Xantana jooji, I am sure he isn't even aware this virtual thread eber loogu dhigay exists.

So shaatigii ayaa la iska siibay, qamiis ayaa lasoo gishtay, maamulkii waxaa loogu magacdaray 'maxkamad' and with the same leader Dhuxuloow oo deegaanka u dhalan and his cohorts. What will this exactly change? Reer Dayniile aayooda waaloo daaye, reer Balcad, reer Jowhar iyo intii reer isdhiibay dhan iyagaa is maamula, albeit fake courts ku ganbadaan. But reer Baraawe cannot. When I see a guddoomiye degmadaas called names like Muunye, Jeylaani, Shiikhuuna, not Dhuxuloow, Seeraar, Cirfo, and Goobaanle, then waa arki karnaa xaqa.

My objection to the Amxaaro is but one MMA (yes that's right i was woman enough to address you as MMA ) Hadaa iga xumaatay ama iga carootay, aad ayaan ugu xumahay. Inaan kaa xanaajiyo was never my intention. Raxiimo is just a nick meeshaan lagu maro, not your real name, marka wax laga caroodo ma'aha. Cafis wacan, walaashiis. [Or should I say Raxmo, err Raxiimo, lest you accuse me again avoiding it. ]

Todobaadkaan [ka bilaawaneyso 05 Luulyo], ayaan wanaag dhamaantood dalka -- waa Cabdillaahi Yuusuf Axmed, Max'ed Cali Geedi iyo Shariif Xasan Sheekh Aadan -- ku wada sugan dalkooda, not Neyroobi or meel kale. Though, Cabdillaahi Yuusuf just came back shaleey, still it fits this thread's deadline, today which is Arbaco. Laakiil will they remain in the country until the next Wednesday? Will you bet on this? I bet at least one won't stay that long enough in the country. Neyroobi with its five-star hoteelo is too irresistible and comfy against the shocking, hot caro gaduud of small-town Baydhabo. Though, it will be seen. ________________ Maybe we can predict the chances of a plane crash involving one of them. All this traveling is increasing their chances of dying through a plane crash. Ar habaar ma fiicno ka dhaaf. Iyagaaba tagi doono waqti aan dheereyn. Iska dulqaado, widaaygiis. Shariifka already had a small accident involving a diyaarad at Boosaaso. Rumour was he really freaked out. Yaa is gaaray dheh.

Me, taliskii hore iyo guulwadenimadiis waa dhacay, saaxiib. Maanta waxaa Soomaaliya ka socdo dad u horseedo dhacwade ama jabwade. Guul iyo Soomaali maanta waa kala dheer yihiin. Marka almiina dalwade noo noqo, anigana kugu raacaayo. And you reminded me this Itoobiyaan [i think he was Oromo oo Soomaali Aboow ahaa] Xamar xaafadeena kusoo degay, in late '80s, who instantly applied as a guulwade and was approved, albeit with his obvious heavy-accent af Soomaali. Sharaf ayaa la dhihi jiray, oo farmashiyo xaafadeenana part-time uu ka shaqeyn jiray. Ooh, Lord, how he believed Kacaanka. I wonder meeshuu ku dambeeye.
