Horn, This latest flare-up, what is it about? I don't know. As I wrote on above post, no body is certain what it is really about, ka ahayn dad naxariistii ka tagtay oo dhiiga rayidka aanba u aaba yeelin. The fact remains, though, the so-called Maxkadamaha are supported by their fellow clan militias, who dagaal-oogiyaal and such. If I can guess, since the so-called 'court' were successful closing down Dayniile airstrip, the other openly remaining one was Cisaleey. It seems they are successful of shutting that one down as well. They also practically have isolated Bashiir Raage's natural port from Xamar. This will have a serious repercussion. The question is, though, will those airstrips remain closed, while the Lambar 50 freely is open. Resentment will build, and eventually clan card will enter. _____________ Jen., I don't know about C/qaasin. I don't see him. Is he quiet as far as we know from the media? Yes. Koleey Eebe ayaa og. And I see you've changed your perception of the 'courts.' You just realized it is just another power-seeking, clan-supported fanction. I didn't know why you hadn't seen that coming before. Hadee Islaanimo dhab ka tahay, Galgaduud iyo Mudug ayee shareecada kasoo bilaabi lahayeen. Korneel Aweys meeshuu gaaro hala arko, laakiin masaakiinta the masses sababta uu u siraayo aan garan waaye, hadana dagaal iyo ereyo kale dagaal dhalinaayo idaacadaha kaleh, kaaga sii daranee asagoo 'sheekh' sheeganaayo.

I care less what 'white' or 'grey' or 'yellow' or 'green' or 'black' thinks of me. I care about when my fellow Soomaali Muslim is predujiced against by another Soomaali, the victim being qof aan waxba galabsan. So-called 'black' and 'white' hawsheeda ma'aha. I neither identify each. And I don't feel it really affects me. As an abwaan once said before, Soomaali baan nahay, mana ogolaan waligeena inuu sanku-neefle [all that breathes, beast or not] naga sareeyo. PS. All these colour terms are nothing but.

Originally posted by codetalker: HORN - Objectivity? Radio Shabelle? If you want objectivity from any of the Xamar-based radio stations, listen to Radio Banadir (MMA, I'm surprised you didn't mention Banadir along with Hiiraan + Midnimo). They don't have any interest vested in the victor of the ongoing conflict, which is more than I can say for Shabelle + HornAfrik. I didn't want to be repetitive because Midnimo.com and idaacada Banaadir are owned by same company. Idaacada Banaadir is very mature and responsible. They follow its slogan: Waxaad doonto ha sheegin; wixii aad aragto sheeg." Shabeelle waxaa kaaga sii daran, qoraaladooda is amateurish. Their writing reports seems like wey iska qoraan, oo dib looma fiiriyo. No editor. On the point of difference I belive there is some major differences between the traditional clan warlords such as Qaynyere, Sudi and Co and the Courts. For one the courts are made up of different clan groupings [dominated by one] if their supporters are to be belived they have several comanders who hail from outside Banadir. The argument here is that they are ideoloical driven but to weak for now to rid themselves of the Inda Cade's and other gangsters in their midst. In this conflict, all other armed courts [there are other unarmed courts such as the Jareerweyne one] but one are on the sidelines. Xararyaale [Qanyare's qolo] court opted out. Siinaay court [Muuse Suudi's qolo] sat out. Shibis court [bashiir Raage's qolo] is on the sideline. Warshada Caanaha/Huriwaa court [bootaan Ciise's qolo], too, opted out. All of them together held a joint news conference couple days ago, reiterating they neither support any group. What this latest flare-up is about -- no one is sure. Taas ayaaba kaaga sii daran. Dagaal ujeedo lahayn, meel u socdo iyo ka socdo aan la ogeyn. Land grabbing kuwa ayaa leh. Gardheere vs non-gardheere kuwa ayaa leh. Dekadaha ayaa la isku heystaa kuwa ayaa leh. Qabiil waaye kuwa ayaa leh. ________________ Sareeye Guute Galaal: "Maxkamaduhu waxay noqdeen xarun siyaasadeed, mid dagaal iyo xarun fidno, waana ka leexdeen Ujeedooyinkii loo dhisay ee ahaa in ay soo qabtaan Burcadda Beelahooda."

If you read closely, that article was posted on Maarso 23. Heshiiska ee gaareen Maxkamadaha iyo Bootaan Ciise's qolo was yesterday, Maarso 24. Since aad Hornafrik ka heshid, inta ka aqriso. Meesha haduu qabiil jirin, maxaa Indhacadde geeye? Maxaa geeye Goobaale? Maxaa other freelance militias ku biiriye qabiil ahaan? Kuwaas maa wadaado kuu ah? Ilqeyre kaliya ayaa taakuleyn yar dhiibtay dhanka kale. Eebe ha qaboojiye dagaalka. Kuwa huu-haadana qurbo ka wado Eebe ha caafiyo. Aamiin labadaba.

Raali ka ahaada aqiyaarta. That will never tolerated or repeated again. You know 24/7 ma joogni karno meeshaan, oo wixii dhacaba isla markii la tirtiri karo.

Salaan... Hadii wax kala "qabsasho" wax tareyso, oo hiilis iyo wax kale loo joogin meesha lagu haayo, kii Cali iyo Caydiid ayee wax tari lahayd. Xamar qof wax kala qabsan karo ayaaba iska yar, especially since it is now perceived to be a very tribal wars. Caddaani, though reputedly being one of the most powerful man in Xamar, is increasingly becoming a parial in his clan, getting fighters from beesha ee Maxkamadaha u badan yihiin, including that Goobaale oo awalba Kismaayo iyo Baraawe dadka heysto kasoo direen and Indhacadde's militia oo asagana mar horeba galay. Xataa waxaa ku jiro freelancing militias oo qabiilnimo usoo galay, la jirina kuwa Maxkamadaha. Plus Bootaan Ciise's [Xaaraan Kunaax] qabiil's militia, oo SooS xukumay dhanka Huriwaa, waxey la heshiiyeen Maxkamadaha. Another subtle gesture in uu dagaalkaan si weyn qabiil iskugu balaarin doono. Max'ed Dheere asaga waaba la kasay oo mana is qarin, laakiin sababta uu Indhacadde isku qarinaayo ayaan la yaabay, as Shabeelle was reporting or trying to dissuade as a reporting, the other day. Maxaa la kala qabsanaa, ka ahayn another Xamar 'green line' cusub bilowdo. Wixii laga soo kabsan jiray dhan the last ten years is at risk. Isku socosho dambe ma jirto. Jidadkii ugu muhiimsanaa koonfurta ku yaalay, sida Jidka Tarbuunka; Jidka Wadnaha [kan Sanca kasoo baxo ilaa Isbitaal Digfeer tago, oo soo wada marana isgoysyada Siinaay, H/wadaag, Bakaaraha, Kaasa Balbalaare]; Jidka Sodonka; Jidka Warshadaha; jidadkii Xamarjajab iyo Xamarweyne wada aadaaye dhanka Lambar Afar markii laga tago oo Dekeda ku dhacaaye. Awalba jidadkaas qabiilo qaas oo Maxkamadaha u dhaw ayaa heystay, weyna ugu fududaatay inay Maxkamadaha jidgooyo dhigtaan. Codetalker, Shabeelle was always pro-Maxkamadaha, pro-Indhacadde. It is not ashamed to be pro-to-its-qabiil's owners. Hornafrik ayaaba sometimes dhaanto, being a little non-sensational sometimes. Shabeelle waxaan ka quursaday when it still kept calling Shaaweey the 'mayor' of Xamar or Firinbi the 'guddoomiyaha' of Xamar. Or vice versa. Dayniile.com waa aragtaa qeylada iyo huu-haada ka socoto. Ar maxee sanafsanyihiin. The only sites in Xamar that I can think of that can closely come to report facts truly are Hiiraan and Midnimo. Teeda kalena dagaalkaan dad badan bee fikradahee Xamar ka qabeen is badali doono, oo quursasho ugu dambeyn ka gaari doono. Xamar wey soo kabsaneysay, wixii tobankii sano dhan horumar lagu gaaray laba bilood ayee ku baabi'i doonaan, so far as it seems. Waxaasna waxaa ugu sii daran qaar ku jiro baaba 'Islaam' iyo 'jihaad' sheeganaayo. Waxaaba kasii daran dad inta ku jiro ayaaba fikradaas laga gaday. Taloow Soomaali iska aamin fududaa.

Boon? Midgaan? Jareer? Gabooye? Tumaal? Yaxar? Yibir? Eeylo? Halooow, mala i maqlaayaa? Halooooooooooooooooow!!! Qashinkeena waa inaa soo qubnaa marka ugu horeyso, inta dad dadoow qashinkooda laga hadlin.

Salaan... Marka 'suufiyada' wadaado ma'aha miyaa? Su'aal aan ku weydiiyee, yaa diinta kuu keenay? Su'aasha aan balaariyee: Yaa diinta noo fidiye, oo gees iyo gees gaarsiiye dhulka Soomaalida? Kuwa surwaalka soo gaabsaday baroon iyo dhashiike iyo hoobiye iyo madaafiic la ardaayo wato, awood raadis ah oo diinteena suuban ku ganbanaayo? Kuwa isbaaro u taalo? Kuwo waxee is qilaafaan hoo dabamiinshaarka ugu jawaabo, shacabkii ku dhexnoolaana dhiigooda qaatay? Waxba kama qabo hadaa 'suufi' aa tahay ama 'suufi' aad support gareysaa i dhahday, oo surwaalgaab suu' la ordaayo aadan igu darin. That is Eebbe's mahadiis. And nabarada igu aasan, aad baa u garatay. My nabaro are dadka Soomaalida rayidka ah oo waxba galabsan lagu kor dagaalamo, walaa wadaad ku sheeg or ganacsade ku sheeg or qabqable. Aniga equally ee ii dhibtaa, ee adiga?

Soomaali aan waxba galabsan ayaa korkooda lagu kala gadanooyaa dhiigooda, sidii quraansho camalna u daadeen, and here we have dad afkooda leerinaaya, qosol dalac bilaashna ku darsaday. Maxaa la dhihi jiray? Afleershe? Apathy Soomaalida dhexdeeda ma heerkaan bee gaaray? Eebboow Xamar nabadeey. Dadka aan loo daganeen, iyagana aan deganeen magaaladaas ha iska qos qoslaan, koleey gartooda waaye. Taloow muxuu/maxee galabsatay? Taloow maanta waxaa la arkay dad Soomaali sheeganaayo hadana walaalahooda dhibaateysan aan loo aaba iyo hooyo yeelin ku jees jeesteenaayo.

Salaan... Haduu Cali Mahdi mise Caydiid midkood quursan lahaa waxaan ma dhaceen. Isku barbardhig wixii waagaas jiray iyo waxa waayahaan socdo. Adduunyo xaalkeed. Meeqo qabqable ayaa jirtay in '91/'92? Waxaan ka hadlooyaa dhamaan dalka oo dhan. Hadaadan qaldamin, ma dhaafeynin shan mise lix. Xuseen Caydiid nafsadiis ayaa laga haayaa shirkii Qaahira ee '97 markii la joogay asagoo leh aan maanta heshiino intee kumanaan kale soo bixin. Yacni wuxuu ka waday, anigaa xataa maanta soo baxee [waagaas dhalinyaro u ahaa uguna yaraa], dadkeena is daba ordaayo yee sii badan. Koleey suu saadaalinaaye ayee noqday. Kontomeeyo ayaa soo baxday. Xataa lama kala garan karo yaa ah 'ganacsado,' yaa ah 'wadaad,' yaa ah 'sheekh,' yaa ah 'shariif' iyo yaa ah 'wadani.' Maanta meesha ugu dambeysay ayee taagan tahay xaalada Soomaaliya. Adduunweynaha toban sano uu dhabarka na aadinaaye, walina na aadinoyaa, laakiinse si qaloocan toogtan noo soo fiiriye, oo ah markii ugu horeysay wixii ka dambeeye 1995. Siyaad Barre maalintuu geeriyooday oo Been Been Sii laga maqlay, ayaa qof kamid ahaa dadkii dhageysanaaye yiri [waligeyna ma iloowaaye], "Maalin baa loo darsan doonaa Max'ed Siyaad." Dadkii wax is fiir fiiriyo iyo wax kale ee noqdeen. Koleey saadaashiis jawaabteeda wali wax ku qanci karo ma arkin.

Salaan... Magacyadii Soomaalida aad iyo aad uu usii yaraanoyaa. Xataa jiilka cusub [jiilka cusubna waxaa ula jeedaa kuwa jiro 20-meeyo qaarkood] hadaa weydiisid magac Soomaali ah sheeg, oo ka reeban kuwa Carbeed. Kuwaa lasoo boodo, Hibo iyo Xamdi mise Feysal iyo Fu'aad. Hadee si walba iskugu deeyaan, magacyadii Soomaalida iyo kuwii Carabta ee kala saari karin. [Hadaa fikradeey aad moodid si kale, weydii jiilka qurbaha ku koray su'aashaas.] Aan ka gudubno intaas, qoraalka hoos ku qoran ila arag. Intaas aan shabakooyinka Soomaalida aqrinaaye, qoraalkaan hoos ku qoran kuwa ugu muhiimsan uu ku jiraa. Waxgarad bilaash loolama baxee, qoraalkaan waxgarad baa qoray. Eebe ha ugu mahadiyo walaalkeen. [Haduu maqaalka kugu dheeraado, adigoo raali eh isku deey inaad wada aqrisid. Mahadsanid.] ______________ Magac & Muuqaal: Mayricidda Hab-dhigaalka Magac Soomaaliga Magac waa eray ama tix, qof ama wax kale astaan looga dhigo oo loogu yeero; waa war wanaagsan oo qof ama ummad guud u meel mara; waa wax qof, ummad, dal ama dadyow ay caan ku yihiin oo lagu asteeyo. Magacu waa summad; waa baadisooc; waa astaan wax kala hagta oo muujisa sida dad, dalal, dhulal & ashyaa’i u kala soocan yihiin una kala gaar yihiin, wax waliba oo abbuurani adduun & aakhiraba waxay leeyihiin magac u khaas ah oo looga garto waxyaalaha kale. Intaa marka looga gudbo dulmaridda tafaasiisha erayga magac iyo xikmadda uu xambaarsan yahay, waxaa mudan in la xuso halka ay qotomaan magacyada Soomaalidu. Magacyadeenu sida ummadaha kale waa kuwo inaga inoo gaar ah ama aynu la wadaagno dadyow kale oo ay xadaarad, dhaqan ama caqiido isku kaaya toshay ayna naga dhexeeyaan dano gaar ahi ha badnaadaan ama ha yaraadaane. Magacyada ay Soomaalidu la baxdaa way noocyo badan yihiin waxaase ugu muhiimsan laba qaybood oo kala ah magac guri asal ah ‘dhalad’ oo ku abtirsada afka Soomaaliga sida (Samakaab, Dhool, Warsame, Diiriye, iwm) iyo kuwo noogu yimmid habab kale sida kuwa diinta ama dunida Carabta nooga soo gudbey oo aan ugu yeeri karno ‘magacyo dool ah oo ay dani keentay’ sida (Cabdiraxmaan, Cawad, Cali, Salmaan, Zuhayb, Maryan, iwm). Waa lagu doodi karaa in la yiraahdo magacyadan dambe waxay bara-kiciyeen kuwii dhaladka ahaa oo iyagaa maanta hoggaanka u haya sansaanka magac-bixinta Soomaalidda, marka dhulka Soomaalida laga eego dhanka kala qoqobnaanta uu saan-caddaalahu sababay waxaa la oran karaa magac Soomaaliga asalka ah wuxuu si xoog leh uga suulayaa intii laysku oran jiray Jamhuuriyaddii Soomaaliya halka uu meelaha kale sida Jibuuti, NFD & [soomaali Galbeed] ay kaga fiican yihiin xafididda la bixidda magacyaddii dhaladka ahaa, waxaana sabab u ah bay ila tahay arrimahan hoose: Aarradii iyo irabkii afkii hore ee asalka ahaa oo ka sii guraya dhanka Jamhuuriyadda halka uu ku sii xoogeysanayo dhanka mandaqadaha kale sababna ay u tahay isku xirnaanshaha jiilasha oo weli qiime sare ka leh gobolada ka baxsan dhulweynaha midoobey ee Soomaaliya. Dagaaladdii sokeeye ee ka dhacay dhanka dhulweynaha oo wiiqay in badan oo xikmaddii dhaqanka & afkaba ah abuurayna dib u dhac xaga beekhaaminta murtida ah. La bixidda magacyada qalaad oo u badan kuwa Carabta oo dad badan oo reer Soomaaliya ahi u arkaan mid barakaysan oo ka fadilan kuwa Soomaaliga ah iyagoon u aabba-deyin macnaha iyo taariikhda magaca ee u arka in magac walba oo Carbeed Islaamka ka turjumayo, taas oo aan xaqiiqatan run ahayn una baahan in laga feejignaado si loo kala barto kan diiniga ah iyo kan iska magac Carbeedka ah si looga digtoonaado muhiimad siinta magacyada shisheeye ee aan diinta dadka ku xirayn la bixidooduna ay geesaha ku riixayaan magac kale oo Soomaali ahaa kuna habboonaa in la xafido si aanu u dabar-go’in. Ogow magac walba oo dool ah lalana baxaa wuxuu booskiisii ka saarayaa mid isaga ka horeeyey oo dhalad ah. Magacyadeenu waa kuwo ku qotoma macnayaal aad u murti iyo qiimi badan waana kuwo aynu astaan ahaan ama summad ahaanba aan aad ugu faani karno, muujin karana dhaqankeena iyo dadnimadeenaba, ilamana ahan in ay jiraan magacyo ka wanaagsan oo booskooda inoo beddeli karaa laakiin waxaa foolxumadooda loo tegayaa marka loo dhaadhaco dhanka hab dhigaalka oo muujinaya sida aynu u dayacnay magacyadaas mudan daryeelka ahna astaanta ugu horeysa jiritaankeena ee aynu sharafka iyo muuqaalka dadnimaba ku leenahay. Astaanta ama summadu waa wax aan isbedelin inta badan waxayna ka dhigantahay wejiga qofka oo kale ama kaar aqoonsi oo kale oo haddii qof isku khaldo si sahlan dhegta loo soo qaban karo. Waxay Soomaalidu tiraahdaa “summad awoowiye sinji waa ma guuraan†taas oo muujinaysa sida ay astaamaha hidde-sidayaashu uga dhex muuqdaan dadka isku dhiigga ah oo layskugu soo sinji sooci karo inan iyo aabbihii ama inan iyo hooyadeed. Waxaa hubaal ah in haddii summdda awoowe uu sinji-guur ku dhaco in habkii sinji-sooca iyo is-aqoonsiguna halkaa uu ku baaba’ayo, astaantaas cirib-xumada leh ee magacyadeena ku dhacdayna waa mid maanta la arki karo lana milicsan karo inkasta oo dareenkeedu waa hore dadka qaarkii ku soo kordhay ayse weydey daryeelkii iyo habeyntii ay mudnayd. Sinjiguurka ku socda hab dhigaalka magacyadeena waxaa sabab u ah baa la oran karaa afar arrimood oo intooda badan ay bulshadeenu mas’uul ka tahay, inta soo hartayna ay ku qabsatay tahay, waxayna kala yihiin: Daahitaankii ay naga soo daahday far matasha oo xafidda dhigaalka afkeena oo aan jirin ka hor 1972kii. Saan-caddaalihii & dhul-mareenaddii kale ee shisheeyaha ahaa oo dalka yimid oo magacyadeena u hikaadiyey una qoray sidii ay carrabkooda iyo dhuuntooda uga dhex sanqarayeen dhegohooduna u maqlayeen. Inagoo aan ku baraarugin mushkiladdda ku dhacday hab dhigaalka magacyadeena goor hore oo markii farta la qoray la seegay fursad qaali ahayd ayna ahayd in fartii ugubka ahayd lagu dabbakho laguna sharciyeeyo hab dhigaalka magacyadeena halka la habaabay oo hab dhigaalkii qalaad ee la dhaxlay uun laga dhigtay dhaqan inkasta oo mas’uuliyad weyn gadaalse ka dhicisowdey la muujiyey. Iyo halka ugu daran oo ah in ay dadkeenii xilliyadaas aqoonta higsanayey iyo intii kale ee iyaga ku raad xigtayba ay carrab la’aantii saan-caddaalaha ay u sacabba tumeen ayna isticmaalkeedii ka dhigteen wax muqadas ah oo aan wax laga beddeli karin ayna tahay in lagu boggaadiyo loogana daydo iyaga taas oo dhaxalkeedii jiilal isdaba taxan uu marin habow ku ridey. Magaca turjumaad waa lagu sameyn karaa macnahiisa laakiin hab dhigaalkiisa oo la beddelaa waxay ka dhigan tahay tiiyoo inta ruux haraga kore laga fiiqay wejigiisa lagu dhejiyey ruux kale astaantiisii oo markaa ruuxaas la dhalanrogey uu kaga faraxsan yahay abbuurtiisii hore midda lagu kabay ee been abuurka ah. Bal aynu tusaale u soo qaadano toddoba nin oo magacyadooda Maxamed la wada yiraahdo oo mid waliba carrab is tirkiisu god la galay oo magacyadooda u kala hikaadiyey marka ay qorayaan: Mohamed, Mohammad, Mahammad, Muhammad, Muhammed, Muhamed, Muhamad ama Cali loo dhigay Ali ama ‘Ali, ma jiraa Soomaali carrabla’ oo aan karin xarafka ‘cayn’? Waxay ila tahay waa maya ama ma badna waxaase lagu qancinayaa caynka & xa’da carrabka laga maroojiyey qofka aj-nebiga ah. Way adagtahay in aad aragto qof magaciisa ‘George’ la yiraahdo oo si kale u hikaadinaya si uu u qanciyo qof aan isaga la qowmiyad ahayn, wuxuuse kugu khasbayaa in aad magaciisa si saxan u qorto oo aad weliba ugu dhawaaqdo; maxaa inaga laynookaga waayey dhiifoonaanta ninkaas oo kale? Caalimkii weynaa ee B. W Andrzejewski markii uu ka soo haajirey Poland ee uu carro England yimid waxaa caddeyd in magaciisu uu aad ugu dhib batay dadkii Anglo-Saxon-ka ahaa ee uu soo dhexgalay, laakiin magaciisii uma bah dilin hab qalliban si uu u qanciyo bulshadaas cusub ee inta sidiisii u daayey ayuu la baxay mid gaaban oo naynaas ah una sahlan dadkii uu la noolaa kaas oo ahaa (Gosh). Tusaale kale waa Arnold Schwarzenegger-ka immika guddoomiyaha ka ah gobolka California ee carrigan Mareykanka oo uu magaciisu ka soo jeedo Slavs-ka reer Austria oo aan isaguna magaciisa bah dilin si uu u qanciyo dadka uu la nool yahay ee aan asalkoodu ka iman bariga Yurub. U maleyn maayo in Cabdinuur & Cabdisalaam ay ka adag yihiin Schwarzenegger & Andrzejewski. Bal u fiirso Chinese-kan magaciisu yahay ‘Xiong’ oo hab dhigaalkaas aan waxba laga beddelin oo aan loo dhigayn magaciisa ‘Hiong’ si loogu qanciyo ummaddaha aan karin X-da xarafka H-da oo u sahlan halka inaga ‘Xasan’ uu ka noqday ‘Hassan’, waana hubaal in arrimahaas oo dhami ay mudan yihiin ku dayasho si loo badbaadiyo astaantaamaheena ayna tahay in magacyadeena loo qoro sida ay codadkeena ku yihiin dhegeheenana ay ugu dhacaan iyadoo aan cid kale loogu hiillinayn laguna qancinayn nabaad-guurka aynu gacmaheena ku sababayno ee aanu la beegsanayno summad-qowmiyadeedkeena. Bal aynu isla eegno waallida magacyadeena: Cabdiraxmaan (Abdirahman) Wacays (Wais) Xalan (Halan) Qamar (Kamar) Xareedo (Haredo) Geelle (Guelleh) Immika waxaan tusaale u qaadanay magacyada dadka laakiin dhammaan magacyada Soomaaliga ahi waxay qarka u saaran yihiin dabargo marka laga eego dhanka dhigaalka waayo midkoodna ma badbaadin oo carrab-la’aan aynu inagu buun-buuninay ayuu la liitaa, bal u fiirso kuwa magaalooyinkana sida: Muqdisho (Mogadisho) Gaalkacyo (Galcio) Burco (Buroa) Hargeysa (Hargeisa) Qardho (Kardo) Baydhabo (Baidoa) Haddaba gundhiggu wuxuu yahay in hab dhigaalka magacyada Soomaalida oo ah mid laga ilduufay agloolidooda intii goori goor ahayd dib loogu laabto looguna baraarugo xasilintooda iyadoo la kala araareynayo is hirdiga uu kula jiro afafka ka faca weyn iyo ummadaha carrabkooda loogu hiillinayo in summadeenii lagu sabaaliyo. Afku waa Soomaali, dhaqanku waa Soomaali, ummaddu waa Soomaali, magacuna waa summadoodii waana Soomaali ee waa in hab dhigaalkiisa lagu mayracaa maskax caafimaad qabta, digtoon oo ay indhaheedu arkaan marka hore waxa ay iyagu leeyihiin ka hor inta ayan u hanqal taagin waxa toobal-caarada ku ah. Magac waliba wuxuu leeyahay muuqaalka bulshadiisa; ummad walibana waxay u egtahay magaceeda! N.B. Si aad u fahamto xikmadda qormadan gaaban bal u fiirso magacyada Soomalida marka lagu dhigayo warqad af kale oo Latin ah ku qoran, sida marka la turjumayo waraaqaha dhalashada, kuwa socdaalka iyo kuwa dugsiyadaba; waxaad arkaysaa dhanka Soomaaliga oo soomaaliyeysan iyo dhanka afka kale lagu turjumay oo carrabla’! Ma qabo in ay jirto dood-cilmiyeed qabta in magaca dhigaal ahaan la turjumi karo, laakiin in xikmaddiisa iyo murtidiisa af kale lagu sheegaa waa biyo kama dhibcaan, haddii la doonayo in nuxurka magaca la fahamsiiyo cid kale oo aan Af-Soomaaliga ku fahmaynin! ________________ Anwar Max'ed Diiriye Soomaalitalk

Marka adiga ma'aha miyaa sawirka? Ileen waxaa laga yaabaa dadka qaarkood inay sawirka yaqanaan qofka leh saasna kuu daba taagan yihiin, mise ogoow waagii hore ayee arkeen oo afar sano kahor kasoo wareegatay. Ogoowna adiga uguma horeysid qof soo saarto sawirkaas meesha. Occasionally marba qof aa iska soo saarto. Taloow su'aal aan ku weydiiye, maxaa ku jiro sawirkaas oo loogu dambeeyaa? Koleey aniga sawir caadi uu ila yahay.

Salaan... Idinka sarcasticnimada naga yareeya, yaaqeey. Runtii is weydii su'aashaas, yaa soo barakacay? Barakac dhaqaalo mee ku xiran tahay? Barakac daarado waa weyn aadan lahayn maku xirno? Horta su'aasha ugu horeyso, maxee tahay barakac? Aniga saan u fasirtay, waxaan u maleyaa in laga wado dad meel kale kasoo kacay una soo kacay meel cusub, badanaa heysan hoy iyo meel kale oo XALAAL ah u diyaarsan. Sheekadaan aqri [sheekada waxaa lagu soo daabacay wargeyska Qaran, oo ah wargeysyadii ugu horeeye Xamar laga daabaco markee dhacday dowlada, oo ahayd 1991]: Xilligii kala yaaca 1991-dii ayaa nin ka cararay gurigiisii oo ku yaala magaalada Muqdisho arrimo qabiil dartood, intii uu sii muuqdana waxaa qabsaday qoys u hamuun qabay kuwaasoo sidaas isku yiri, ‘Guriga waad yeelateen.' Qoyska guriga qabsaday waxay guriga u maamusheen sidii wax ay leeyihiin iyagoo qaar ka mid ah qolalka guriga dagay, halka qaarka kalana ay ijaarteen sidaas ayeyna ahaayeen muddo sanadyo ah, war iyo wacaalna uma hayn gurigaan cidda iska leh iyo halkey ka baxeen. Ninka guriga iska lahaa oo isagu qaxooti muddo badan ku ahaa mid ka mid ah dalalka deriska ayaa dib ugu soo laabtay Caasimadda Soomaaliya ee Muqdisho oo ku ogaa gurigiisii hoyga u ahaa, wuxuuna soo dagay Hoteel ku yaala isla Muqdisho. Ninku wuxuu watay kaarto ama qorshe uu ku soo talo galay in uu gurigiisa ku soo gato tiiyoo laakiin uu ogaa in guriga ay gacanta ku hayaan koox ma naxayaal ah kuwaasoo hub la dhex fadhiya laakiin wuxuu sameeyey qaabkii u degsanaa inuu howlgeliyo. Wuxuu iska dhigay nin marti ah isla markaasna wuxuu u yimid xilli habeen ah kuwa guriga gacanta ku haya isagoo weliba madaxa cimaamad soo saartay si dadka deriska ah aysan u arag, wuxuuna weydiistay qoyskii guriga haystay qol ijaar ah maadaama uu u sheegay in uu daggan yahay Hoteel lacagtuna qaali ku noqotay.

Salaan... I knew this MEMRI organization for a couple years, mainly from Western print media's, particularly the conservative ones, fondness of oft-quotation of its selectively translated Carabi media. So, what is MEMRI? From Wikipedia [not always accurate, but it is this time]: M EMRI was founded in February 1998 by its president Yigal Carmon a retired colonel in Israeli military intelligence, and the academic Dr. Meyrav Wurmser. The organisation became more prominent after the September 11, 2001 attacks, due to increased Western public interest in Arab and Iranian affairs. At that time, it expanded its staff considerably, setting up new branches abroad in early 2002. More growth and expansion of focus was experienced during the Iraq war, as media activity increased in that area. Prominent critics of MEMRI include the academics Dr. Juan Cole and Dr.Marc Lynch who have criticized MEMRI on their non-academic blogs, Mr. Brian Whitaker a former graduate student in Middle Eastern studies and the Middle East Editor of the British Newspaper, the Guardian, who has criticized MEMRI in the newspaper he edits, and Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London. Dr. Cole has accused the institute of "cleverly cherry-pick[ing] the vast Arabic press, which serves 300 million people, for the most extreme and objectionable articles and editorials", selecting the Arabic equivalent of comments on Islam by the likes of Christian fundamentalist Jerry Falwell or outspoken conservative columnist Ann Coulter. He also notes that, "On more than one occasion I have seen, say, a bigotted Arabic article translated by MEMRI and when I went to the source on the Web, found that it was on the same op-ed page with other, moderate articles arguing for tolerance. These latter were not translated." Professor Marc Lynch, on his blog "Abu Aardvark", expressed agreement with Cole, "MEMRI routinely selects articles which show the worst of Arab discourse, even where this represents only a minority of actually expressed opinion, while almost never acknowledging the actual distribution of opinion. It is the near-unanimous consensus of all Arabic-speaking experts on the Middle East that your [MEMRI's] service does exactly what Professor Cole alleges." Brian Whitaker quotes Dr. William Rugh, former US ambassador to the UAE and Yemen, describing MEMRI as a service which, "does not present a balanced or complete picture of the Arab print media. Its owners are pro-Israeli and anti-Arab. Quotes are selected to portray Arabs as preaching hatred against Jews and westerners, praising violence and refusing any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue." In another point of criticism of the Reform Project, Mohammed El Oifi wrote in Le Monde Diplomatique that MEMRI "...[takes] hostage Arab liberals by creating the strange category of 'liberal or progressive Arab journalist'. In order to belong to this category, one must pronounce himself against any armed resistance in the Arab world, in particular in Palestine and Iraq; denounce Hamas and Hezbollah; criticize Yasser Arafat; plead for 'realism', that is accept the power structure of foreign domination; be favourable to US projects in the Middle-East; incite Arabs to make self-criticism and renounce the 'conspiracy mentality'. He must also demonstrate a strong hostility to nationalism and political Islam, or even despise the Arab culture. His criticisms must target in particular religious people, and, more generally, societies which would lag behind enlightened Arab leaders. He must praise individual liberties, without insisting however on political liberties and even less on national sovereignty." The "Reform Project" has also been praised. Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times credits MEMRI with helping to,"shine a spotlight on hate speech wherever it appears..." Brian Whitaker has made the more general criticism that, "The stories selected by Memri...reflect badly on the character of Arabs." In his 2002 Guardian article entitled, "Selective MEMRI" Whitaker presents several examples of this: 1) An article from Saudi Arabia describing how, "Jews use the blood of Christian or Muslim children in pastries for the Purim religious festival". Whitaker objected to MEMRI's claim that "al-Riyadh was a Saudi "government newspaper" because this "impl[ied] that the article had some form of official approval," and stated that al-Riyadh was a privately owned company. He did not object to MEMRI's choice to translate the article, which he notes, "demonstrated, more than anything, was the ignorance of many Arabs - even those highly educated - about Judaism and Israel, and their readiness to believe such ridiculous stories". 2) MEMRI's description of a poem by Saudi Arabia's ambassador to London entitled The Martyrs - about a young woman suicide bomber - as "praising suicide bombers". Whitaker argues that the poem actually should read as, "condemning the political ineffectiveness of Arab leaders". 3) MEMRI's choice of an extract of an article in the pan-Arab newspaper, al-Hayat, by Dr. Adil Awadh, a Iraqi National Congress (INC), detailing an order by Saddam Hussein that deserters from the army should have their ears amputated. Whitaker suggested that since this was, "the sort of tale about Iraqi brutality that newspapers would happily reprint without checking... it needs to be treated with a little circumspection". According to an article by Mohammed El Oifi published in Le Monde diplomatique, London mayor Ken Livingstone requested a report to inform himself on Yusuf al-Qaradawi before his visit. After reading the study, he concluded "nearly all of the lies distorting al-Qaradawi's statements came from the MEMRI institute, which pretends to be an institute of objective research. However, we found out that the MEMRI had been founded by a former MOSSAD officer, who systematically distorts not only al-Qaradawi's statements, but what many other Muslim scholars say. In most of the cases, disinformation is total, and this is why I published this study." Professor Halim Barakat of Georgetown University wrote that MEMRI had mistranslated an article in the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper, changing "Zionists" to "Jews" and "Zionist leadership" to "Israeli Jews" and had taken sections of the article out of context. Brian Whitaker, in a Guardian article critical of MEMRI, has noted that three of the original six founders of MEMRI were former members of the Israeli secret services. MEMRI describes itself as nonpartisan and independent. However, Juan Cole has accused MEMRI of being part of a conspiracy to serve the interests of Israel: "MEMRI was founded by a retired Israeli colonel from military intelligence, and co-run by Meyrav Wurmser, wife of David Wurmser. David Wurmser is close to the Likud Party in Israel and served in Douglas Feith's Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon, where he helped manufacture the case that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to al-Qaeda. David Wurmser, who wants to get up American wars against both Iran and Syria, then moved over to Vice President Dick Cheney's rump national security team. "[28]Cole also wrote that MEMRI is "a sophisticated anti-Arab propaganda machine...and...one of a number of public relations campaigns essentially on behalf of the far right-wing Likud Party in Israel." After noting the Israeli Military background on the President of MEMRI and the ties of a former executive to the Bush-Cheney US Whitehouse, Dr. Juan Cole wrote on his blog that, "MEMRI is funded to the tune of $60 million a year by someone." Dr. Cole suggested that Carmon's protest might have been motivated by fear that Cole's comments could endanger MEMRI's tax exempt status: "[The] issue [that] almost certainly generated the entire letter [is that] MEMRI is a 501 © 3 organization, which is tax exempt in US law, and therefore cannot engage in (much) directly political activity without endangering its exemption. I don't think MEMRI does so directly intervene in politics as to make its 501 © 3 status questionable. But it is obvious that 501 © 3 is widely abused by rightwing think tanks." __________________ Xigasho

Miskiin As long as we have close family friends (which we all know the association they are trying to hide! assuming they are two differnt people;) coming on this site! The quality will go down. Soomaalida kale forum-yadooda laguma arko, but on this site it is not uncommon to have people who know personally or are related. Many people know one another personally before they logged on here; many have met and befriended. Many know one who knows that knows or a mutual people they know.

Jen., I didn't single you out particularly. I thought you, as a senior member, knew the issue was settled. Dadka kale iska accuse gareynaayo naftirkooda wa u sheegay, walina wadaan, which I started deleting their posts. We need to be fair, widaaygiis. This same issue was what prompted the Admin. to disallow public accusations. You knew that episode. Everybody realized public accusation degenerates the forum, thus should one suspect, private PM the Admin. It never ends, which never helps the quality of the forum. Hadaa si kale u qaadatay, aad baan ugu xumahay.
