  1. Qeybtii labaad. Magaceena Soomaali Mushtamaceena Islaam Mawaadiniinta dadkeena Midab oo kala sooco Mabda' oo kala qaado Meesha iigama muuqato Midigteena kitaabka Mahuraanka islaamka Iyo mowqifka diinta baan ku mideeysanehee Waxa meesha iiga muuqda Oo masiibada keenay Iyo macaluusha kordheeyso Maamul iyo kursi waaye Muran taa kama joogtee Maanka hanoo taliyo Maskaxdana ha shaqeyso In Soomaali maseerto Midnimo loo hanqal taago meesha waa ku jirtaa... _______________ Passion, adiga ma aqrin miyaa kor. Meeshaas ayeeba ku qoran yihiin ereyada "wamal xayaatu dunyaa ilaa mataacul quruur." Maki Xaaji Banaadir abwaanimo iyo jilaaye uu isku darsaday. Filimaantiis cusub laga keeno qofkii fiirsado waala dhacaa.
  2. Salaan... Eebbe-u-baahnoow, hada waxaa leedahay in qabiil la amaano meesha waa ku jirtaa, oo waa wax fiican. Ego-boosting iga dheh. Haye, sug waan kuu BURAANBURAA, koleey buraanbur dhan tol iyo reer amaanid ayuu ka kooban yahay: Nimaan Eebbe u baahneen manoolaadee Reer Alla-u-baahnoow Faracooda asluub badanoow Hantidooda amaan badanoow Sumcadooda sharaf badanoow Darajadooda sare badanoow Xishmadooda udgoon badanoow Akhlaaqdooda loo dhasho waayee Been la iskama keenee Iidheh kuma imaatee Eebbe naxariistiis ummada ka doortee Eebbe balaayo ka soocee Xikmo ugu hibeeyee Eebboow la'aantaa lama noolaadee Karaamada u siyaadi Reer Alle-u-baahne Haye, reer "abtigaa" xaada ma kacday? Yac!
  3. Salaan... Sida dhul shisheeye loo yimid saacadaha maku wareertaa? Are you able to different between "afar saac habeenimo" iyo "4 p.m." I have a friend who is notorious not being able to differentiate the Soomaali way of time-keeping and the other. He is always confused, and every time he wants to say "hal saac habeenimo," he says, "1 p.m." which is afternoon. He isn't alone. Dad badan ayaa ku wareero, oo markee sheekeysanayaan saacada aan isticmaali jirnay rabo inay isticmaalaan, but others confuse it to the newly adapted one in qurbaha. That is why Soomaalida badankood u isticmaalaan in qurbaha now "seven p.m.," oo af ajnabi lagu sheegaayo, instead of "hal saac," which could be 1 o'clock p.m. Ours time-keeping is a natural, straight, unique in this world of "p.m. and a.m." We may use aroornimo, galabnimo iyo habeenimo to distinguish, still waa unique. I wonder meeshaan ka keenay. I don't think Carabta inay this way saacadaha u sheegaan, nor do Talyaanigii iyo Ingiriiskii gurigeena inoogu yimid. One interesting fact might have to do since our country happens to be right in the centre of Equator, right in the circle of Earth. Thus, our seasonal time changes little, and always qoraxda soo baxdo at 6 [laba iyo toban saac hiraabtii] and sets at 6 [laba iyo toban saac fiidnimo], safe few minutes plus or minus. I know in northern regions in the "p.m." and "a.m." formula laga isticmaalo, which I think was influenced by the British. Waana the way BBC Soomaali isticmaasho. Same with the way we name nights. "Friday night" Soomaalida waxee u taqanaa "habeenka Sabtida soo galeyso." Waxaan xasuustaa waagii Kiinya loo soo qaxay, dad badan ayaa ku wareeray oo markuu mukhalaska balamiyo "habeenka Isniinta ayaa baxeysaa" u qaadan jiray inuu ka wado "habeenka Isniinta soo galeyso," which is Sunday night. So one night kahor ayee garoonka diyaaradaha iska xaadiri jireen, awalba iyagoo eager iska ahaa. Dad badan ayaa saas kusoo noqday. Of course, the mukhalas meant Monday night, instead. So, waligaa maku wareertay?
  4. He arrived Addis Ababa, as he always does after a major decision, to consult with his superior the naming Soomaali daljire to Talyaaniga, a very important post. Rumour has it, he is going to name the individual in the coming days. Nayruus, you're doing a commendable job; I hope you won't be disappointed 'bout this 30-day waiting period. Already ten days is gone, and wax la qabtay ma aragno.
  5. Markaa waxaas qoraaye, I knew about this "protectorate" business, and for that matter, it was discussed here some years ago. However, the essential central fact remains: "protectorate" was just a fancy coinage given by British colonialists. Nothing substantial distinguished it from what we Soomaalis termed gumeysi. It was just a paper-thin official name, masquerading as a humatarian cause to subject our people to their will. What was other excuses often cited by other colonialists, especially by the British. Oh, yeah, "white man's burden" to civilize the "savageness" out of other races. Kipling, hello. The essential, substantial fact, lest we missed again, remains: Gumeysi is gumeysi, regardless how sugar-coat terms colonialists may have called. As a proud people, we should recognize gumeysi being one of the shameful events of our past. No need to distinguish gumeysi. While we are at this "protectorate" issue, what exactly, pray tell, were they "protecting?" Who were they "protecting" when they air-bombed Soomaalis in Taleex and other places? What were they "protecting" when they awarded the Hawd plains to Haile Selassie's? Hmm...some "protection," indeed.
  6. Horta, mar waxaad tiri Soomaali qabiil lama wadaago, hadana waxaad leedahay qabiilo dhan jameeco walba ku jiro ayaa "despise" gareyneysaa. Wax israaci karo ma'aha. Qabiil walba dad xun iyo dad fiicanba waa ku jiraan. Marka jumlo ahaanteeda in la wada naco macquul ma'aha, unless the person is a die-hard qabyaaladist, which you cannot be if you're to be believed of your non-associated of any Soomaali qabiil. Teeda kale, ogoow, afxumeyn will never get you anywhere. Meel lagu gaaro maleh caaytin iyo aflagaado. Calling C/llaahi Yuusuf "Caasho Yuusuf" asaga waxba uma dhimeyso ka ahayn in waxaad qortid dhab loo qaadan karin. Aniga shaqsi ahaanteyda, habeen iyo maalin ayaan C/llaahi Yuusuf dacaayadeyaa, his polices that is, waligeeyna uma quurin, igumana soo dhicin inaan aflagaado iyo caaytin ka daba wado; maxaa yeelay meel laga caaytamo kumaan soo korin, mideeda labaadna waa oday Soomaaliyeed, si walba ha haloo nacee, wali caaytin waayeelnimadiis oo awoowegeena noqon karo uma qalmo. Dhaqankeena suuban waayeel la afxumeeyo kuma jiro, si walba haloo naco qofka. About Toogane, maba aqriye qoraaladiis uu qoro aniga oo sidaan ku arkay kuwii ugu horeeye qabiil ayee u badnaayeen, wax qabiil ku saabsana, ama amaan ha ahaato ama caaytin ha u janjeerto, maba aqriye. Waaba dhaqankeyga. Mowduucaan sababta u adiga shaqsi ahaan kugu leexday waxaa ugu wacan that provocative title aad ku qortay meesha, waaba og tahay in strong reaction oo jawaab ah heleyso. "Sakiin toobas laqa." I'm no Toogane fan, as I mentioned kor, but ogoow that will make others react, oo aniga waano ayee iga ahayd ee ha iga xumaan, widaayoow.
  7. Ereygaan "terrorism[t]" waa in qoraalada Soomaalida laga rookeeyaa. Isticmaalkiis milaa yacni uu noqday. The author wuxuu la qeylinaayo ayaan kasi waaye; I am sure had Sool & Sanaag declared the independence, this same author would have be singing different tune. Anyway, markaan tan aqriye ayaaba iska qosolsiisay: "Waxa kuwaas ka mid ah dalkii uu Talyaanigu gumaysan jiray ee loo yaqaanay ‘La Somalia Italiana’, iyo dalkii Ingiriisku illaalin jiray ee ahaa ‘Somaliland Protectorate." Talyaaniga wixiisa "gumeysi" ayee ahayd, haye? Kii Ingiriiskana? "Ilaalin." Kii Faransiiskana? Jacburis? Eebboow hana waalin. Teeda kalena, hadana iyadaa shirqool isku rideyso when she says: Xuduudahaas oo ka wada diiwaan gashan Xarunta Ururka Qaramada Midoobay (United Nations). Waxa kale oo dhigaya inaan la bedeli Karin xuduudaha dalalka Afrika Sharciga Ururka Dalalka Africa(Organization of African Unity, iyo ka African Union.) Sax. Waa ku raacsanahay. Xuduudaha dalalka Afrika in aan la badali karin, sida uu dhigaayo sharciga Midowga Afrika. Hadeeba saas og tahay, markii sharcigaas lasoo saaraaye Waqooyi iyo Koonfur wee mideysnaayeen. Hadii wax la badalaayo Soomaali Galbeed iyo NFD ayaa dalka lagu soo daraa, sidee Soomaali aaminsantahay.
  8. Miskiin, Good question. Why would an Eritrean be so passionate about A/Y and Somali politics? OLOL might want to minimalize his concern and involvement with Somali politics by portraying himself as an outsider although his profund passion and deeply felt disagreements with A/Y, manifested sometimes in his insults aimed at A/Y, is an obvious clue to who he is ethnically, a somali to be exact. A/Y didn't harm or can harm Eritrea politically or otherwise so there is no reason for an Eritrean to be upset with him or be passionate about Somali politics. OLOL is as somali as anyone of us. No body labelled him to be Eritrean. He himself admitted. That's where it gets interesting. Here is a partial quote from his admission: "I would have done and gone to Eritrean Forums but I know nothing about Eritrea, the land of my great-great grandfathers. I am more Somali than you all. My loyalty is to Somalia and Somalia alone. I prescribe to no clan and fortunately all of my grandmothers are from different Somali clans. This makes me the most unflustered Somali national. I prescribe to no clan nonesense and but I despise certain clans because of their clannish attitude." For somebody who has "no clan" association, his venom against a certain clan in this forum is noticeable. It isn't healthy, especially if you are a self-admitted outsider. If you love Soomaaliya and your loyalty lies with it, the least and best thing to do is stay out from the sickness endemic and entangled qabyaalad politics of Soomaalida.
  9. Salaan... Maki Xaaji Banaadir, Eebba ugu hideeye sida sahlan ee ereyada la iskugu toosiyo. Gacan iyo nus ayaan u taagay. Shiribkaan (shirib miyaa horta? Saar?) hoos ku qoran oo loogu magac daray Wamal Xayaatul Dunyaa ila Mataacul Quruur waxaa la alifay, saan filaayo, shirkii Carte ee Jabuuti lagu qabtay sanadkii 2000. Cajal aan wali haayo oo shirkaas laga soo duubay ayuu ka qaaday, oo xataa madaxweynihii Jabuuti Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle oo nafta ka baxday suu ugu qoslaaye cajalkaas ku jiro. [Qeybta hoos ku qoran ma'aha qeybtaas oo qosolka miiran ah.] Shiribkaan mid dheer oo kala baxa ayuu ahaa, laakiin intaan ayaa soo guurinaa hada. Mar haddeey madaxdeena madasha toos u furaan Murunka soo afjaraan Muujiyaan is walaashi & mowduuc nabadeed Maslaxo caam ah dhisaan Masaakiinta caruurta Maatida heer tabareedka In mudnaanta la siiyo Midnimo loogu adeego Moxogoodana u xirtaan wax macaan badan waaye Oon ku miirsan kareyno maskaxdeen ku dageysoo Muraalkeen ku dhismaayo Muuse shaah iga dhiib Macoow haashka isii Maaxi koostar isaar Maanaboolyo igeey Muxudiin alif keen Maadeey qaam iska baar Mursal ii macbileey xaajiyayaasha midood ood macruufo tihiin Madiinaan u socdaa Ama meel uun ku sheeg Maska diirta cambuulo iyo madaalka galeey Inaan maanta niraahno Mehered noo noqon meyso Mustaqbalaa la rabaa Rajo muuqan kareysoo miraheed la cunaayo Masaariifta caruurta Mugdi beey ku jirtaa Marasho, madaxsaar iyo minan ijaar ma awoodno Mushahar meel laga dhiibo Oo maciishadda suuqda Maamulka qoyska Lagu moodi karaayo Marhoraa u dambeysay Inaan meesha yuurarnoo Maalin daa'in marqaano Waa marduuf ama qeyb Majin iyo qoriyaal maskaxdeen ku duqeyno Meherad noo noqon meyso Mustaqbalaa la rabaa Rajo muuqan kareeysoo Miraheed la cunaayo Mufumeento la'aanta Mashaalkilka taagan Macbuudoow naga mooti Maslaxo caam ah nasii Inaan maanta niraahno meesha waa ku jirtaa Mindi daab an laheyn Madax dooro ma gooyso Xataa malaay sarsaroow ma awoodi kareyso Midigta & bidixdeeda ismagan sashadooda waa muhiimadda guusha Mowqifkeena israaca Midnimo & xasilooni Maslaxo & nabad waarta Wax kaloo na maraaya Ineey meesha oolin Wa iska muuqan kartaa... }
  10. Salaan... Taariikh fac weyn inay Soomaalida leedahay adduun weynaha dhan ayaa la socdo, ayaandaro anagaa isku dheelnay, oo hoos, hoos, hoos is dhignay. Labadan erey ayaan waxaan aaminsanahay inay isla xiriiraan: Waaq iyo tuko. Ereyga waaq wuxuu kasoo jeedaa dhawaaq ee sameeyaan shimbiraha ugu caqli badan, tuke. Waa sidee Soomaaliya kuwa kunool ku dhawaaqaan, oo aan u naqaanay dhawaaqooda. [Xataa ereyga dhawaaq hadaa fiirisid waa u jeedaa, oo wuxuu ka kooban yahay dha iyo waaq, yacni lamid ah wax la qeyliyo sidee kuu maqlaan dadka. Ereyo badan ereygaan "waaq" ku jiro, oo faraciis aan iska iloownay ayaa jiro, kamid ah sida barwaaqo.] Ma Soomaalidii hore "tuke" ayee caabudi jireen, uguna magac dareen "Waaq"? Koleey wax isku xiraa jiro. Tuke shimbir sahlan ma'aha, oo waa xirfad miiran, waana shimbirta bini aadenka baray sida loo xabaalo meydkooda, u asturtaan, oo Quraankana lagu xusay, inkastoo Quraanka magac ahaan u sheegin. Waxase iyana aad la yaab u leh, in tafsiirka Quraanka ee Ibn Cabbaas sheegayo in meeshii Qaabiil ku dilay walaalkii Haabiil la oran jiray "GEERIYAAD", taasoo kitaabku sheegay inay afka cajamiga tahay macnaheeduna yahay meeshii geerida. Dalka Soomaalida, banka Geeriyaad waa lama degaanka ugu kulul ee uuna badan yahay dibqalloocu wuxuuna koofur kazoo xigaa magaalada Seylac (Zeila). Sida baybalku sheegayo, Zeila (Zilla) waxay ahayd Tubal (Tumaal) hooyadii. Marka hadii la dhaho dhulkii ee daganaan jireen Haabiil iyo Qaabiil ee tahay dhulka maanta Soomaalida degan tahay, ee labadaas midkoodna ahaa qofkii arkay sida tukaha meydkooda u duugaan, ma laga yaabaa markaas inay "connection" la sharfo tukaha bilowdeen, markii dambena in la caabudo loo badalo asaga naftirkiis, loogu magac daray dhawaaqiis, Waaq? Mida labaad, xiriir kalaa jiro. Ereyga "tuko" Soomaalida kasoow shimbir magaceeda waxee u adeegsadaan qofkii "pray" gareynaayo. Yacni, "hebel waa tukanayaa." Tuko erey Carabi ma'aha, oo waa erey asali ku ah afkeena hodanka ah ee hooyo. Marka awal ma "waaq" baa u "tukan" jirnay? Maadaama waaq tahay dhawaaq uu tuko sameeyo. Waxaan aan ka hadlaayo hadaa isku barbardhigtid, waa arki kartaa inay "connection" waayadii hore jirtay.
  11. Salaan... For a self-proclaimed Eritrean, ilaa hada ma fahmin wuxuu afaaraha Soomaalida ka dheefo.
  12. Duqa, ciyaal baa iska ahayn. Not that I believed anything. But the fact is, the body, when a ritual like this was performed, DID move up. As Nuune wrote, not many people would believe unless seeing to attest it. As I wrote above, it was weird experience, oo waaba acuudi bileysan jirnay. Ducaqabe, what are you saying? That we were reer Baxaar? Adigaaba reer Kismaayo ah noo sheeg, meeshaas ayee dhoobanayeen.
  13. Ciid wanaagsan, widaaygiis. Ar maanta camal laba gaal aa guriga Xamar lagu qali jiray. Ar maxaa u xiisay. Hilib gaal macaanaa. XaaX. Maata, maata, taloow adigana ma taqaanaa? Waan ogaa inay dad dhif ah inta ku jiro ila kasi karaan, oo dadka badankiisaba aanan maqlin ciyaartaas. Markaas aan qoraaye aan iska soo xasuutay. Ciyaar ciyaalnimo waa wax aadan ka weynaneynin runtii. Mar mar kaligaa oo iska qosleysid ayaa is arkee, oo wax waayo waayo iska soo xasuusanee.
  14. Ciiddaan ciiddeeda, odeyga waa taagnaa waa u jeediin, ee dambiga iska aayara, maryooleey. Nafsadiina ka adkaada. Ninba naftiis, nabiyoow ummadaa bilaash maloo dhihin.
  15. Albeit my sanboor's intolerance of it, the caraf is irresistible.
  16. Salaan... I just remembered one of the coolest childhood games. Childhood memories wax la iloowi karo ma'aha. Qof nasiib u helay ayaa yaqaano, siiba qof dadkiisa lasoo koray. Ka soco. Ciyaalkeena Soomaalida, siiba kuwa magaalooyinka daganaa, had something resembling seasonal games. A game is so popular in few weeks or months, and then it declines. Another becomes the hottest. That was the trend, the recycle. In late '80s, one of the weirdest games was invented by some ciyaal. (It was perhaps borrowed from other cultures. I still don't know.) It was a serious, freakish, yet amazing simple game. Here's how it went. The participators were eight people. One body likes on the ground, acting as a straightened corpse, the face facing up. The remaining seven encircle the lying body. Three would stay on the left side of the body, the other three on the right. The lone remaining person would stand at the body's head position. Then each person lets out his index finger, and it alone. Each would then put the index finger under the body and exactly meeshee wada jilba jabsan yihiin, including the lone one who sits at the head's position. Then they will recite those following seven lines [i forgot some lines in the middle]: Maata maata Maata diyuuc Ishtal taadil [?] ...... ...... ...... Kuliyaa Sabcaa Obviously the words were Carabi. After the last words, "kuliyaa sabcaa," which was particularly shouted, each will rise while still the index fingers are under the body. The magic moment then happened: The body will move up. Yes, a body lifted by a mere seven index fingers and nothing else. If you think I am on something, walaahi it used to happen. We used to say it was jini that used to help us lift the body because all while doing this, we all must be in serious behaviours. Otherwise a little qosol or cracking will suddenly stop it, even if the body is in the middle of the air, dropping. What a ritual it was. What a bunch of crazy ciyaal we were.
  17. Originally posted by nuune: yeah good stuff that Somaliland is included in da list, they should ask the FIFA to be included in the FIFA memebership, now they are not which is a bit sad!! Nuune, if you actually look at the site, you will realize it being not the official website of CAF. That "About Me" ayaaba ka arkeysaa that it is a personal webpage. Here's CAF's official site. Its official mentioned national members can be found here.
  18. Salaan... Well, let mee see. You said before the civil war, in that case, most famous hotels were concentrated in Xamar. Most carried local names, especially named after the owners. Hotels such: Hoteel Guuleed Hoteel Wehliye Hoteel Maka al Makurama Hoteel Shaamoow Hoteel Naasohablood Hoteel Jubba Hoteel Curaba [Our four-star rated hotel] Hoteel Towfiiq Hoteel Shabeelle That is all I can remember for now. Hoteel Curaba.
  19. And if you accumulate too much debt and that list didn't work for you: Buy one way ticket to Soomaaliya, preferably to a tuulo. A lot of people did, while Visa and Mastercard are still looking every Cabdi Faarax's social insurance background check, most of them are chilling in Buulo Dhuumasho.
  20. Salaan... Maxaa lagu heshiiye? Awalba qilaaf la arkaayo ma jirin, laakiin the two main obstacle points were: Bringing ciidamo shisheeye from Itoobiya [Yes? No. No? Yes.] Where the temporary the government's seat would be based. [Xamar? No. Jowhar? No.] Are these two hindrance issues resolved? I don't see. It seems C/llaahi Yuusuf is slowly forgetting his request of 20,000 African [itoobiyan] troops. Same with Shariifka. He seems he can finally think to work the parliament from outside Xamar. I think they will agree to Baydhabo. Awalba muxuu u diiday meeshaas, Shariifka? Jug jug meeshaada lee joog. International donors aa ruwaayad loo dhigoyaa. Both tuugsigooyaa waxaa loogu jawaabi jiray "heshiiya." Anybody who reads the "official agreement" can easily detect the fine little print of it addressing to international bodies. I pray inay dowladaan wax isku raacdo kasoo baxaan. Dowlad la'aan abaar waaye. And every time baraf with bone-breaking wind chill socdo ayaan soo xasuustaa dalkeena hooyo. I can't really live here another 15 years.

Hogaamiye kooxeed aan daneysto ahayn maba jiro. To be honest you are right howevr one must never presume to always occupying the moral highround. For we have in this forum cheerleaders for ina Salad boy the man who as president only strengthened the illegal occupation of his clan.Now we learn the activities of which includes drug smuggling.. A man who as we know served the brutal regime of Siyad with undying love even when, Hargaysa was bombed and then as President took shelter with his sub-clan while the Somali people suffered. Those who cheered for this man have no moral right to point fingers at others, for he is worse than any.. Widaaygiis, I agree. But I would like you to bring forward the "cheerleaders for ina Salad boy." I honestly didn't see my four years spent in this discussion board any obsessed "cheerleader" of C/qaasin, safe the odd qabiil-obsessed one here and there.
  22. Horta daneysi haddey noqoto xaaladu, waxaa la oran karaa qabqable kasta dad u khaasa ayuu leeyahay oo isku daneesato ah... Nuune, u sheeg. Laakiin dadka qaarkiis ma jeclo inay arkaan oona iska indha tiro, xataa the father of stoogenimo oo Sanaawi u shaqeeyo waala iska indha tiraa. Kan kale Kismaayo lagu haayo oo curyaan ku ah, waala og yahay dadka qaarkood meeshaan iska indha tiraayo. Kuwaas daneysto ma'aha? Their supporters waxee u yihiin "shrew politicians." Hogaamiye kooxeed aan daneysto ahayn maba jiro. Imagine if Shariifka conceded and agreed to move to Jowhar, I am sure in this board waxaa lala alalaasi lahaa, "Oo Qanyare oo Xamar ku xanaaqsan ayaa dirsaday and that is why he conceded finally..." I, however, wouldn't call him the man of the year, though. The guy is really confused. Kuwa Xamar ku wareeriye; globetrotting ayuu ka bixi waaye, oo marba diyaarad meel u saaran, meel hawshiisa ahayna u socdo. Maba oga shaqadiis inay baarlamaan ku eg tahay. Laakiin the guy sida ee rabeen certain people ma noqon. Dhuunta uu u galay, thinking his position is nothing but the useless title in name of "guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka."
  23. Salaan... Barwaaqo/Aerowen/Ahura, can you baliis tell these ladies that the boy isn't really me. Nothing with him; he is an older brother. The fact is, he isn't me. Kuli fidna Adena ayaa keentay. The only person that is right is Bishaaro, though where we've met wasn't at Eaton. I am the grinning gentleman standing at the back with the black shirt. Stoic, haa brother. It is a simplistic dress that doesn't cost much, and on the top of that has a relevant cultural history to us. I don't understand why maryooleey spend too much on a one-time-use "taash" and suits. It just doesn't add up. I always admired this aroos, but sad thing was that night I and other kids weren't allowed to attend it. I was so maaaaaaaaaaaaad, wailing and shrieking the whole night, finally when my mother gave me a hundred shilin. I was still crying when I slept and woke up finding myself sleeping at outside. Quruxleey, I hope your aroos will be like that.
