Ciyaarta live kuma fiirsan, inkastoo a few minutes on encore ku fiirsaday, including at the end. I neither supported those teams, and was completely indifferent to the game, if not bored. However, as a neutral, I believe that was a rigooro -- inkastoo Talyaaniga [plus Burtuqiiska] lagu yaqaano is tuurid micna daro ah, laakiin that was sure rigooro, markii that hapless defense la dhaafay ayuu lugta ka qabtay by his gacan. Granted, it happened extremely waqti xun. Any savvy aarbiitaro wouldn't have called it a penalty because waqtiga ee dhacday wasn't waqti lagu waco rigooro unless it is extremely, extremely undisputed one. Australia meesha banooni kuma haayaan ka ahayn bug bug. I hate bug-bug style banooni, which is Afrikaan-style and Ingiriis-style. Wax la fiirsan karo ma'aha. Jabbaan ayaaba dhaamay, I don't know see ugu soo raayeen.

Salaan... Soomaalida dhaqankooda wax is casil kuma jiro. Either xoog ayaa looga qaadaa mise wax kale ku dhaceyso. Dadka is casilo, ama aayahooda ugu tago Soomaali waxee ka qabaan an archaic view that qofkaas inuu yahay qof daciif ah. Kii xoog ku amrana inuu yahay kaliye taliye ayee aaminsan yihiin. Meel loo raaco maleh. Waxaan xasuustaa this great gentleman, whose wife was a family friend. He worked for dowladii kacaanka, at its central Bankiga Dhexe. Because of his position, he accumulated a great wealth and prestige. Fortunately, he became qof diinta ku dhaqmo, and sensing that wuxuu kasbaday dhan inay ahayn 'xalaal,' he consulted to some wadaado, and they advised him to give up all his wealth, except to those that he knew and was sure uu xalaal ku keensaday, which were his first house and car. He decided in uu celiyo all other houses, which numbered four or five, including villas and mansions. He also decided wax walba in uu celiyo, u celiyo dowladda -- the cars, the farms, his senior position at work. His family quickly had a crisis, especially his sub-clan members. They tried to dissuade him, wuuna ka diiday. They also advised him, should he insist on his opinion, in uu u qeybiyo the wealth to his extended family and sub-clan members, which uu ka diiday again. They finally declared him to be on the verge of insanity. He told them whatever, that wax walba wuu celinaa. By God, he did it. And few months later, the civil war broke in Xamar. Now, that is true gentleman with defined sumcad. Many Soomaali men wax uu sameeye inay sameyaan iska dhaafee, meeshuu joogay dagaal iyo wax kale inay ku gaaraan rabo, iskaba dhaaf inay iska casilaan. The last I heard the gentleman became a big tabliiq and was living in Bakistaan, happily, I guess.

A picture from a Shiino-Carab Cultural Festival, held in Beijing recently. This Shiinees girl's attire does represent Soomaalida dhaqankooda, our guntiino. Soomaaliya was included because of its membership of Jaamacadda Carabta. Perhaps the Shiinees lady is cuter than qoftaan diraca wadato, who is married to a Soomaali faarax.

LoL, Jeneraalka had this tender side, maba ogeyn nooh yaaqeey. Soomaaliyeey too sooy, too sooy isku tiirsadayeey. Hadba kiina taagdaranoo, taageera waligiinee. [i taught this national anthem of ours to some of very younger nieces of mine. Now wey xafideen, marka iyagoo iska warqabin ayee qaadaan sometimes, naturally flowing. I am proud of that. ]

Shabbele news lied about these supposed killings, as they lied about Ethiopian troops in Baidoa. That ganacsade victim, by the name of Boonoow, Shabeelle kama been sheegin. He was killed by a militiaman kamid ah ciidamada C/llaahi Yuusuf. Waana lasoo qabtay, oo ninkaas dadkuu u dhashay ayee u taalaa waxee dalbadaan, hadee diyo rabaan iyo hadee wax kale sheegtaan. Yes, Shabeelle waa buunbuuninee, but who doesn't? Each Soomaali "news" site waa buunbuunisaa waxa dano ugu jiro. All wax is dhaamo maleh. And those 'culumadiinka, waxgaradka iyo ganacsatada' hadee dad jiraan yihiin, as opposed dad imagined by Shabeelle, would also talk about dadkooda degan Jubbada Dhexe iyo Shabeellada Hoose gumeysi lagu haayo, not dadka dhulkooda heysto ee reer Bakool iyo Baay. But, noo, Shabeelle danahooda ayee ka hor imaanee hadee ka hadlaan or won't report it. Let them talk about masaakiinta dego Awdheegle, Daafeed, Qoryooleey, Kismaayo, Saakoow, Afgooye, Bu'aale, Baraawe, Marka, Janaale, Sablaale iyo meelaha kale oo cadaadis lagu haayo and their beero, too.

Meeqaa lagu dilaa dalkaas Koonfur Afrika. Inta Soomaali ku dhimatay the last couple years lama sheegi karo, yet wali waa u socdaan. The ruling party, African National Congress, ayaa u roonaa Soomaalida, especially waaguu Mandela xukumi jiray, oo sharci deganaansho iyo wax kale la siin jiray, stillna la siiyaa, though it isn't the way it used to be. Then tukaamo, baqaaro iyo ganacsi badan oo yar yar ee furteen. Then kuwii Galbeedka deganaa ayaa tagay, oo bilaabay ganacsi waa weyn, sida inay ka keenaan goods from Thailand iyo hoteelo waa weyn ee dhisteen. It was only about time madoowgii awalba midab takoor iyo wax kale lagu heyn jiray ee bilaabaan xaasidnimo iyo wax kale. My brother-in-law's brother ayaa Mareykanka ka tagay, bilooyin markuu joogayna a group uu ku jiray was attacked, one being killed and asagana dhowr bilood uu coma ku jiray. Hada waaba Eebbe mahadiis, kistoo iska fiyoow, kuna soo noqday Mareykanka. Iskaba dhaafay ganacsigii uu rabay. Yet many Soomaalis waa u socdaan to that region, including Mosanbiik iyo Saambiya, oo isku sheegayaan jano ayaa ku jirnaa, albeit public insecurity ee ku nool yihiin, oo hub ku dhex heystaan tukaamadooda iyo other ganacsi ee lee yihiin.

Xamar caddeey, ar maxaa loo xiisay. The memories! Waa kuwaanaa xaafadeena.

Ani, waraa waraadaan mugoow ma u bogin. Tuujka, laakiin shimee igu aragtay anigoo 'maskiin' iska dhigaayo. Wah.

Yes, dear, we are environmentalists nooh. Wait a minute, the bag is worse for the environment than the plastic, no? Markaan Kanada imid, magaala ugu horeyso aan deganaa was Windsor, Ontario, just a couple yards away from Detroit, Michigan, literally. This guy aan isla deganeyn ayaa ka shaqeyn jiray Detroit, oo markuu soo noqonaayo sometimes keeni jiray caanahooda oo caaga weynaa ku jiray. Caano aad iyo aad ugu macaan ayee ahayeen oo kuwa Ontario saas ma'aha, I don't know; a real good taste lahaa. NB, here in Koronto we have a maqaayad soor sameyso -- actualy the only maqaayad in Koronto soor kariso -- marka caano special ayee u sameyaan, oo garoor iyo caano geel u dhadhan ah, dhanaan ahaan. Their secret, however, eventually waa lagu fahmay, though: Sprite iyo caano lo' ee isku daraan iyo wax kale, markaas ayee na dhihi jireen caano garoor waaye, and a friend of mine used to insist wa caano geel lasoo import gareeye. Shuud.

Nuune, hada waxaa i dhihi rabtaa miyaa waligeey caanahaas ma dhadhamin? Sheeko Been Hawaas naga dhaaf, widaay.

Salaan... Horta let's clarify few facts about Amxaaro iyo danaha ee Soomaaliya ka leedahay. All Soomaalida should know Amxaaro never wanted, never wants a united strong Soomaaliya that soo ceshan karto Soomaali Galbeed. That always was its first foreign policy and last. Always have a weak, divided, qabiilistan neighbour isku mashquulsan that was formerly known as Soomaaliya. If that isn't politically and visibly possible, then rule by proxy, install stooges, support warlords until they wipe themselves out of the face of this Earth. Museveni of Uganda calls it 'fratricide,' a slow genocide and, I am sure, Sanaawi loves it. Amxaaro or Tigrey regime already has weak, obedient puppets installed in Waqooyi Bari and Waqooyi Galbeed, and rules by proxy, in addition to most members of transtitional federal government seated at Baydhabo. It also rules by extension most of gobollada ku hareersan Soomaali Galbeed, including Hiiraan, Bakool, Gedo, and parts of Togdheer. This ain't no secret. It also until recently ruled a greater part of Shabeellada Dhexe, including a dekad it was building there in Cadalle, undermined by the Maxkamadaha's unexpected victory in Jowhar. Tigrey regime also controls Berbera port partially, oo waxee rabaan kala soo deggaan, including weapons Soomaalida kale lagu laayo, ama qabqable kale lasoo siiyo. No body baaro waxee lasoo deggaan in that port. Yaa kala haayo ciidamada iyo maleeshiyada Waqooyi iyo Bari ee isku horfadhiyo at Aricaddeeye in Sool? If you are a longtime observer of Soomaali turmoil, you should known, waxaa kala haayo, Eebbe ka sakoow, Sanaawi -- not Riyaale or Cadde, oo waa hore ayee is jafi lahayeen. Alas, the guy, i.e. Sanaawi, calls the shots. In his political short term gain, it ain't his interest to have that conflict now, which he knows will never be won and make a new refugees to overflood Soomaali Galbeed. He sent his officials when there were a few skirmishes and an official war was on the verge a few years ago, waa kuwa kala celiye. Not many Soomaalis know this political open secret. Marka considering all of this, maxaa waaye Amxaaro huu-haadaan cusub? Amxaaro iyo Tigrey regime magac Soomaali baaba'o wax ee ka jecleyn ma jirto, let alone dal burburay. Laakiin hadaan anaga Soomaali kalsooni aan isku heyno, oo walaaloow aan ku tashan weynay, oo 16 is rifeynay, oo is dhameynay, then dad baa kuu talinaayo. Tigrey regime never would ay haweysan lahayd Soomaaliya hadaan dad isku duubban, oo midnimo iyo iskaashi ka dhaxeyso ahayd. But we aren't. Iskaba dhaaf midnimo, cuqdad, xaasidnimo iyo wax ka daran ayaan isku qabnaa. Wiil Soomaali dagaal micno ahayn ku dhinto mana dhibto hadaan Soomaali nahnay, unless it concerns gobollada ee degaan your qabiil. Runta hala isku sheego. Amxaaro aan isku wada dhiibno, mise aan si caddaalad, kalsooni ku jirto ah aan u tashano danaheena iyo mustaqbalkeena. Labadooda mid dooro ayaa Soomaali laga la yahay. Ain't no tough choice, is there?

Cumar Xasan Bashiir, Daarfuur wax haka qabto. Or hadu wax taraayo his country's conflict dabadheeraatay in the south ayuu waa hore wax ka qaban lahaa, until pressure xoog lagu saaray. Every so-called leader 'statesman' ayuu ka raadinoyaa danaha Soomaaliya. Yemen's Cabdalla Saalax tried that. Uganda's Museveni, too. So was the old effort's by Masar's Xusni Mubaarak, and Liibiya's Qadaafi.

Saan Galbeedka u imaaday, wax walba saan u maqlaaye, heer waxaan gaaray waxaan maqlo inaan madaxa lux luxo ka socdo. Nothing, absolutely nothing, shocks, surprises, astonishes, amazes, dumbfounds me anymore. Nothing. This story below, which I read a couple of days ago on Toronto Star, joins that long list of non-surprising madax lux luxid. ______________ Mother's milk may be the healthiest food for babies, but is it art? Yes, according to Jess Dobkin, a lesbian mother and artist who will present her work Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar on July 13 at the Ontario College of Art and Design, the institution of higher learning that a few years ago brought you vomiting as performance art. The audience will be invited to sip during cocktail hours (5 to 8 p.m.) small cups of pasteurized breast milk donated by six lactating new mothers in the community. Dobkin has obtained a breast milk pasteurizer and will have the milk tested by a lab. "I am taking all precautions," she said in an interview. "Donors have all been screened." She is also designing a unique serving vessel for each woman. "I conducted interviews with all the donors and I worked with each to envision the appropriate serving device, the way different glasses are used for red or white wine. The vessel is designed to bring out the uniqueness of each woman's milk." Following the "tasting," there will be an artist's talk and discussion. Dobkin, who came to Toronto from New York, and has received grants from the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council, said in a news release she became interested in taboos surrounding breastfeeding. "This project re-contextualizes something often regarded as indecent or repellent, offering a celebratory view," the 36-year-old said. "A substance that nourishes us in our infancy later becomes a curiosity in adulthood." ________________ Ah, disregard the title above, baliis. I ain't no perv.

the money for travel is either coming from countries that invite the president, his own or the Un's poltical office in Somalia which give the government some money for travel use by the TFG in its effort to bring Somalia back into the international community. His own lacag? War the old man's jeeb waa foorinoyaa, iskaba dhaaf wuxuu diyaarad ku raacee, wax uu hoteel ku bixiyo mahaayo. Unless, of course, waxii laga soo tuugsaday from international community uu masuq maasuq ku sameeyo, which, as an Afrikan wannabe leader, he does or not. Lacagtaan safaradaan badan lagu aado Qaramada Midoobey's office of United Nations Development Programme in Neyroobi ayaa loo soo marsiyaa, from Scandinavian countries, mostly Iswiidhan and Norweey, ee ma'aha wax uu jeebkiis ka awoodo. Despite UNDP's effort to reduce corruption meesha ee ku baxaan dhaqaalaha, still masuq maasuqnimo waa dhacdaa, oo xafiiskaas ee ku lee yihiin xaga Neyroobi waxaa u fadhiyo a cousin of Geedi, Shariifka's close associate and Cabdillaahi Yuusuf's trusted man. The only face known publically is that cousin of Geedi; other shadows, who work behind the scenes, aren't that visible. Plus, Geedi still mantains a mansion in Neyroobi, paid, apparently, from the public purse, through UNDP. Plus, they mostly use a second-hand upstart airline called Mudan Airlines, which is reputedly owned by a distant relative, related clan-wise, of Cabdillaahi Yuusuf Axmed. _____________ And now back into Great Leaders' schedules: All three are in Neyroobi, Kiinya. They initially misreported that Geedi went to Khartuum. However Neyroobi ayuu ku hakaday, but they are all now going to Khartuum together, which forces me to ask a burning question: Don't they trust one another? Maxee meel walba iskugu daba tagaan? And what will Shariifka do in Khartuum? Shariif ka wareer badan waligeey ma arkin. Sometimes he is a prime minister, doing the executive; other times, performing the president's duties, in addition to being a guddoomiye to his baarlamaan's legislative.

Xusuusin: Waxaa jiray sawiro 8 gaaraya oo ay shabakadda Shabelle.net faafisay fiidnimadii Isniinta 19 June 2006, balse laga saaray website-ka shabakadda aroornimadii Talaadada 20 June 2006. Sababta ay shabakaddu dib ula laabatay sawiradaas ayaa loo qaadan karaa culeys kaga yimid dhanka Maxkamadaha, iyo Saxaafadda xorta ah oo afka la qabanayo. Maxkamaduhu waa in ay dareemaan in Bulshaweynta Soomaaliyeed ay indhaha ku hayso oo falalka ay ku kacaan la miisaami doono. Well, Shabeelle sold the pictures to Reuters, so hadee sawirada ka bixiyaan shabakadooda because pressure from Indhamadoowe wax weyn ma'aha. Here's ninka la qisaasay by the kangaroo court: Elmi Ba Hassan Adow prays before his execution, ordered by Ifka Halane Islamic Sharia court, in Mogadishu June 19, 2006.

Today's [Juun 21] leaders' itinerary schedules: Max'ed Cali Geedi [in Khartuum, Suudaan] C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed [in Addis Ababa, Itoobiya] Shariif Xasan Shiikh Aadan [still in Neyroobi, Kiinya] _________________ Safar salaama. Dad nabad, raashiin iyo wax walba u baahan ayaa idin sugaayo, idinkana hadba meel diyaarad u raaca, oo iska baashaala. Wax idinka maqan ayaaba iska yar.

Waxaaba kaaga sii daran, the flag-waving Yahuud-wannabe dude markuu celebration sameynaayo, who scored that goal? A Muslim, la yiraahdo Cali Suulleey Mansuuri. Or something like that. There are also other Muslim players, like Xabiib Max'ed iyo Axmed Ciise. Perhaps that guy should bring a Falastiini flag next time. It would be interesting. But now, I ain't no fan of theirs. Never was a fan of Afrikaan teams, either and ever. Ciyaarahoodaba kama helo. Bug. Bug. Bug. Lee la ciyaaraa. That is their style. Jarmalka. Yes. The only team aan la jiro since aan bilaabay banooni fiirsasho, oo aan ciyaal ahaa. Along with Xaaji's Romania, Jarmalka xul aan waligeey la jiray waaye, with Matiyoos, Voller iyo whole bunch. Not to mention my younger brother waxaa lagu samiye a Jarmal national player, I believe called Dieter Hoeness. My brother's nick name is TiiTaa, since '86 World Cup when he was a baby. The reason? Both had huge eyerbrows -- now mentioning it, let me google.

And sidee ku ogaadeeen? Believing some 'rumours' from beesha Soomaalida in Iswiidhan? Ma gabadha ayaa dacwooday? Or 'checking' her privacy parts at the spot, upon landing? I believe the latter, since it is by law now in that country to check any Soomaali girl who went to Carabaha with her guardians, not even to Soomaaliya per se. Whatever happened to the 'ideal' civil liberties Scandinavian nations used to espouse. Two men can marry, but it is government's no business. Two married couple can swing as many as they want, yet not government's business. A little girl ayaa la guday, but this time dowlad shaqadeyda waaye inay soo faragishato. Gudniin dhaqan laga tagay waaye, that no sane individual can condone, laakiin if the dowlada Iswiidhan keeps a blind eye on homesexuality, prostitution and other vile vices -- noo, they welcome and condone them by recognizing their marriages and acts for buying sex -- laakiinse it makes her business what should legally be a family's business, not government's. But no, this is a minority group, with their 'alien' culture that should be eradicated, at least in Scandinavia. And so goes the controlled racism.

Salaan... That name of a sub-clan you wrote is part of a larger Banaadiri family, who originally from Carab [Arab] countries, particularly what is now known as Yemen. Since you are already an Algerian Arab, it may not be as complicated as other Soomaalis. Eebbe hakuu fududeeyo. [Never mind that sentence, it is just a du'a.]

Jeneraalka, labadaan bari waa kacsantahay, see camalkaa, widaayoow. Siiba Indhamadoowe ayaa ku kacsantahay, qof maanta soo baxay camal. Kamoon, is daji. Adeer Cabdillaahi Yuusuf Axmed is safe nooh. Jagada ma laga qaadaayo, haka wal walin jagadiis.

Finally, Rudy has spoken [written] like a well-thought, articulated gentleman. Saas ayaa lagaa rabaa, duqa.

Baliis, qabiil names ka tirtira before you post copy and paste articles. We cannot edit qabiil out of articles every time. Dankis.

Salaan... Indhamadoowe to resign? Aahahahaah. Waa riyooneysiin, macalimiinta. Indhamadoowe is not only part of so-called 'maxkamadaha,' but is maxkamadaha. Period. Neither can function without the other. The day ay fara gishtaan awoodiisa, Eebbaa awood lahee, is the day they are finished. The day they try to take Afgooye -- only 30 kilometres away from central Xamar -- and install maxkamad ku sheeg is the day they are finished. Sababta ay Jalalaqsi u qabsadeen and soon heading to Beledweyne, but not liberating Afgooye oo kasoo horjeedo Xamar, iskaba dhaaf other towns, tells you waxee yihiin -- qabyaaladist birimo, sugunto and teerso oo diinteena suuban ku ganbanaayo. It is very interesting no body of the defenders of maxkamadaha ku sheega is ever coming here and condemning the father of dagaal-ooge and the mother of qabiilist. [He himself admits this on publically, saying he is the first defender of his sub-clan, and anybody soo fara gishto xabbadiis taqaano.] Not even do they have a contempt for him, iskaba dhaaf inay condemn gareyaan. Deliberately blinding themselves on the issues won't get away, as they pray for it. Indhamadoowe is the cause célèbre of maxkamadaha ku sheega, and he will eventually be what unravels it, if not completely destroying it.

Use lower key letters on your titles next time, baliis.
