  1. Salaan... Xoogsade, this so-called Banaadir council ineen shaqeynin awalba waala ogaa. However, it was a first anything the majority of warlords agreed to form. It failed before it began because Max'ed Qanyare, and Muuse Suudi too, was tricked. In the warlordom of the backroom qabyaalad politics, it was agreed there should be no legitimate election, that waxaa sheekada lagu qeybsanaa a la 4.5 qabyaalad ratio. The election would only be a window-dressing. Waxa qeybsanaayo waxee ahayeen "1" full clan; this clan's sub-clans agreed which each gets. It was agreed Muuse Yalaxoow's clan would both get the guddoomiyaha and duqa magaalada titles. Other clans will get sub-titles. If this didn't work, Qanyare agreed to plan B: His sub-clan was allowed to get the guddoomiyaha degmada portfolio, regardless of anything. Well, a certain sub-clan switched the light and tried to overthrow the agreed backroom politics. In the world of warlord's domain, Qanyare was cheated squarely and has every reason to be mad. There was no fair election either, because the guy who was supposed to challenge didn't participate and boycotted it. Those who voted are powerless in Xamar. On the top of that was bribed. Have you noticed why there was no candidate from Muuse Suudi's clan? Waxii la isku raacay baa meesha laga saaray. Another thing, historically speaking, with exception of few instances, the mayor of Muqdisho always belonged to two clans who founded and lived the town and nawaaxigeeda: Reer Xamar and Yalaxoow's major clan. Hadee dhab ka tahay this council Reer Xamarkii Xamar dhisay, oo found gareeye two seats mala siyeen, kuwii gobolada dhexe ka yimaadeyna triple of that. It just doesn't make sense, though in this twisted Soomaali world of the more gun one owns, the more that clan gets.
  2. Salaan... First time I came across this Ayr Rand person was a couple years ago, on an article about the Wikipedia founder, who obviously in a way worshipped her wishing of minimalist intervention by the authorities about human activies and to which he applied to his Wikipedia site's fundamental philosophy. He insists she and he both aren't anarchist, but her works point she is, in fact, bordering being one. She instead calls her works "objectivism," as opposed to anarchism. An objectivism is a combination of libertarianism and minarchism (both which seem to be same), as she alludes. I think she would've been perfectly happy to live a place like the current situation in Soomaaliya.
  3. Maskiin, you are Maskiin, you know nothing, Thank god My name is not OOW, I wonder what Fowdo and oow share, AHA its the ow they Obviously, your lack of Soomaali language is evident. Let me take an opportunity to educate you about he suffix "oow" and where it derived from. Oow derives from the Soomaali word of 'aw,' which in turn means something or someone old; sometimes it refers to lineage, especially when it is used in the context of "awoowe" and "abtirsi" (ab is the same as aw, Soomaalis sometimes pronounce differently, though same meaning). It also sometimes means "the father of..." Awdal [aw dal], for example, means the "father of nation." It was aptly named that because that region has a deep history. If it is suffix, aw mostly becomes oow. It mostly follows Soomaali nicknames, sometimes too to real names. So when you hear "gaaboow," know it means "the father of shortness." [it is not literal, but the guy is obviously too short.] Same with Yalaxoow, meaning the "father of timo jileec." Not literal meaning, again. Anyway, before you despise your own Soomaali words, learn them beforehand, Mr. "Scientist".
  4. Salaan... Koleey meeshaan quuqdeeda waa badatay. I thought it would thaw down, kadareey ee noqotay. Laakiin waxa la isku heysto ilaa hada ma kasin. Dadka qaarkood ayaaba ku wareeray jilbaab iyo xijaab. Jilbaab iyo xijaab laba sheey ayee kala yihiih, at least from Soomaali perspective. Culimo adduunka dhamaantood waxa waajib ah la isku raacay waa xijaab, not jilbaab. Yaala wareerin. Jilbaab wadaado isku raacday sida uu u eg yahay lama haayo ilaa maanta. Waa taas reer Afganistaan "burqa" ugu waco oo different design; waa taas reer Khaliijka "abbaayo" ugu waco oo sidoo kale ka gadisan; waa taas reer Iiraan "jadoor" ee dhahaan. All these jilbaabo ma isku si baa loo design gareeye? Waa maya. Teeda kalena jilbaab hadaa qaadaneysid, it should have been colourless, mostly black. Kee Soomaalida gishtaana kalarkiis ayaa indhaha kaa qabanaayo. Taloow ma oga since most of our people, indeed our sisters, aren't dadka wax aqriyo, but ku xiran "hebel baa yiri." If only a small percentage had had read what Sacuudi-trained Sheekhyada ee ka dhageystaan, wee ogaan lahayeen that some of their qudbooyin are narrowly interpreted to suit their agenda. Alas, they took advantage our people's traditonal "i maqalsii" culture. Soomaalida had their own "version" before the war. That version was garbasaar. It fullfilled what was needed from xijaab. Wadaadii waagaas jirayna ku raacay, not the later-day, seefta banaanka, Sacuudi-trained ones. Is garbasaar not xijaab? Does it not fullfill xijaab's requirement? Seef laboodnimada iyo seefta banaanka ma fiicno. Hala iska ilaaliyo. Wixii fundamentalka Diinta ka baxsan, mabda' ayaa jiro, oo waala is qilaafi karaa micno kuma fadhiso. Dhiibo mabda'aa, ka soco. I had this friend who used to think South Asian women's prayers aren't acceptable. Why? Because he saw them leave their toes and ankles open when they pray. The guy obviously didn't know mabda' in uu jiro, that we follow Shaafici and they follow Xanafi. Dad baa leh the old regime didn't allow iskoolada iyo kuliyada kale in xijaab lagu tago. That is ridiculous. My sister used to wear "xijaab"--sifaleeti with garbasaar and no body bothered while attending Kuliyada Lafoole. Now, since we are into this enforcement, let's see why a six or five year-olds are forced to wear this jilbaabs at school? Why? Do they have a choice? No. I was in Xamar, and I had seen my nieces wearing it. I inquired why ee u qabaan. They said it is school uniform policy, and they have no choice. Dhididka ka socday Eebbe baa og, and wouldn't wanted to wear had they had a chose. Yes, talk about choosing, as some here are saying those who wear it by choice. Yeah. Talk about compulsion and enforcement. Officials at some schools cannot even tolerate a certain hair-cut styles, expelling those who cut their hair like "Westerners." Al Itixaad didn't work in Soomaaliya. We all know why. Their intolerance was intolerable. In early to mid '90s, they controlled the small town of Luuq. Initially they were welcomed, but their continued rigidity was the last nerve that got on Soomaalis, who are inherently anarchist republic, that lived in that small town. They even welcomed the Itoobiyans who kicked the Al Itixaads. It didn't either work in Bari. Maanta ayeeyooyinkeena ayaa loo giliye, oo loogu sheekeye "xijaabka kaliya la aqbalaayo inuu yahay jilbaab." Ayeeyooyinkeena baariga iska eh iska qaatay. Jilbaab is just one version of xijaab, not synonymous with xijaab. Garbasaar, as it covers what is required, is one version of xijaab. Dadka qaarkood waxaaba u maleysaa hadalkooda siduu u eg yahay in xataa diinteena suuban soo baxday wixii ka dambeeye 1991. Eebboow na cafi. Waaka baxay.
  5. I knew Aamiin Caamir since 1991 when his political cartoons were printed by Shabeelle Press. I remember purely buying that particular paper for his cartoons. Anyway, I never thought he was painting in '70s.
  6. Gaabow, Yaloxow, Tootow, and now Roobow Gaaboow, Yalaxoow, Tootoow, Rooboow and other "oow" are authentic Soomaali names. "Scientist" isn't.
  7. Quruxsanaa! Waayo waayo iga dheh. Xataa xasuustii iskoolada see u dhisnaayeen, darbiga wareegsanaa, ganjeelka weynaa, ar maxaa ganjeel xiran dhexdiis isku cariirinay inaan iskoolka u gambino. Socodka aaba i dilay, xataa. Lugta sida loo qaadaayo fiiri? Shaati jaalo iyo surwaal kaaki maxaa loo xiisay. Jaceylnimada ka dhaxeyso. Igaartaan taloow manooshahay? Hadee nooshahayna saan ma u egtahay wali?
  8. Salaan... The Arabs used to refer to the Somali inhabited lands as "Ardul-Soo-maal", hence where the British got "Somaliland" from. Carabta dhulka Soomaalida dhan dagan ayee "Ardu Soomaal," wax, oo gobolo maku ekeyn. This itself attests the partial independence and nationhood of Soomaalis before gumeysi came. There was no such thing as a land that was officially refered to as Somalia prior to the Italian colonisers. There was such a land called Soomaali intee gumeysidoon imaan. Kii Gaarisa joogay iyo kii maanta meesha Jabuuti la dhaho joogay knew one another inay Soomaali yihiin oo qof iskaga xigo jirin.This is what the gumeysidoon recognized as well, indeed each calling their own carved land "Soomaali" something. If Europeans meeting in Germany in late 19th century can in fact recognize those lands were inhabited by Soomaalis. That speaks volumes. Soomaali history certainly didn't start with gumeysidoon. The important thing, even if the gumeysidoon hadn't recognized that fact, is Soomaalis recognized themselves and knew where each inhabited. They may not had had a centrally organized government, but there certainly was an imagined border. Lest ee duulaan qolo kale shisheeye ku qaadaan and thus expand some land ma'ahee, inta kale wee ogaayeen where their land was. Today looks the same, only with more weapons and more so-called adminstrations. Those nomads freely go to and fro Soomaali Galbeed or NFD even today. I have a question which is remotely somewhat related to the topic at hand. If the origin of "Somali" is said to be from the word "Soo maal", then I was wondering where the "i" in "Somali" came from? It sounds like an import to me. Any idea? Soomaali language follows the common pattern of some Cushitic/Semitic speakers adding commonly an "i" suffix at the end of some nouns, particularly when it comes to nationality. Examples: Ciraaqi, Masri, Sacuudi, Yemeni, Suudaani, Kuwaiti, Israeli, Armeni, Cumaani, Turki, Baxreyni, Falastiini, Iirani, Qadari, Jabuuti, Hindi, et cetera, et cetera. I firmly believe gumeysi has nothing to do with our name Soomaaliya. And I firmly as well believe it was there before the Talyaaniga called the South "Somalia Italiana." Soomaaliya can possibly be found in Soomaali language, and it cannot be compared a downright foreign name like "Soomaaliland." I would rather take Soomaalistan anyday than that blatant colonial name. And keep in mind, lest we forgot, about a region called "Oromia" or as Oromos call "Oromiya." Since they have the closest sister language to Soomaali, and the "Oromiya" finely fits the pattern of Soomaaliya, what about it? Was it as well named by Talyaaniga in their brief control of the most Horn? Methinks not.

  10. Waa salaamantihiin, aqiyaareey. Tolstoy, let me ask you a hypothetical question: Do you think Daahir Riyaale Kaahin, if given an opportunity to join, even as an observer, would hesitate than immediately and proudly join? What would your personal opinion be if he and his adminstration did join?
  11. Salaan... I had a sister who had a very traditional wedding back in the day when it was rarest of the rare to have a traditional, Soomaali-style dress wedding. I always admired that wedding. It was in 1988. What the heck, since I've a picture on the PC, let me share it with you. My sister's aroos, in 1988. It was held at Hotel Jubba [not the scene in this picture]. [Enjoy before it is removed. And noo, the boy isn't me. ]

  13. Originally posted by juba: somalia is italian?? i thought SOO MAALIA meant "to milk" = soo maal ofcourse meaning to milk the camel. The camel is so much a part of our life that it became a part of our countries name! thats what i've been told :confused: What they are talking about isn't the whole word, e.i Soomaali, but the added suffix xaraf [letter] of "a" at the end. Since we called ourselves Soomaali time immemorial, however when Talyaanis arrived, they added a suffix letter "a" at the end, to call their carved part of the country "Soomaalia Italiana." It isn't proven that much, though some Soomaalis assume. It is possible we Soomaalis might have used Soomaaliya before they arrived, too.

  15. The last time I listened the reporter in London was speaking to someone ( a leader in Baidoa) and everytime the dude (he attempted to speak in mainstream somali) used a few words from his mother tongue, the reporter mocked him!!! Recently, I was told, Yuusuf Garaad himself interviewed one of the malaaqs down there. What was surprising is Yuusuf Garaad af Maxaa Tiri ayuu ku wareesanaaye, malaaqana af Maay ayuu ku jawaabaaye. Faham la'aan ayee ku dhamaatay. Waaba markii koowaad full time featured interview af Maay laga maqlo BBC. To those who are interested Yuusuf Garaad Cumar's impressive educational background, inta riix. I visited Bush House in the spring of 2003. Sawirkaan aa kasoo qaaday. Qolka laga broadcast gareeyo waaye. In this particular picture, the evening broadcast, as the clock on the wall indicates, was already in process. The two newsreader gentlemen's names, if I recall, were Aadan Nuux on the left and C/risaaq.
  16. Salaan... Apparently our Soomaali name is dragged into a conflict with people and nation we have never had a word of disagreement with, let alone a fight. The Eritrean and Soomaali people were always mutually friendly against a common enemy. The common enemy, though, now remote-controls Soomaali's head of state, who is incapable of doing anything but follow the directives from Addis Ababa. (L to R) Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Sudan's President Lt Gen Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Somalia's President Abullahi Yusuf Ahmed talk in the southern Yemeni city of Aden December 28, 2005. The summit of the Sanaa Forum for Cooperation group is set to discuss means to boost joint security and economic cooperation between the four states. It may diplomatically called Sanca Forum, but its objectives are clear: The founding three members of the group all have conflicts, including land and sea border disputes, with Eritrea one way or another, and are willing to use force against to subdue it. It is a clear reason why Jabuuti is ostensibly not a member of that group. Same with Eritrea, who was never invited lest it thinks it didn't understand the Forum's mission. We don't have to make unnecessary adversary in our hour of need.
  17. Originally posted by Yeniceri: Same article appears on following websites (but only one website is picked on by the Dutchman): Midnimo Information Center AllPuntland.com WardheerNews.com AllGedo.com Other articles: SomalilandNet.com Somaliland Times Add the chorus of critizing for critic's sake baidoa.com. I remember that website complaining BBC doesn't have a reporter in Baydhabo and relies heavily Xasan Bariise in Xamar. Apparently, it listened and trained a local wariye from there now. Are they satisfied? No. It is a known fact, however, BBC cannot afford to have every degmo to have a wariye of its own. That is impossible. Another popular dacaayad is that Yuusuf Garaad wuxuu u janjeeraa dhanka Muqdisho wing and doesn't kowtow to C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed. The third allegation made by his fiercest opponents is: Since he is a shareholder in HornAfrik Media Inc., he might have a conflict of interest. Maybe or maybe not. Don't forget to add waagacusub.com to that list too. That site is run by a paranoid who had apparently never heard what libel is, fabricating bogus after bogus stories, some unbelievable. That webmaster has a personal grudge against Yuusuf Garaad because Yuusuf sub-clan uu ka dhashay ayuu aad u necebyahay. What all of this tells us is, in fact, Yuusuf Garaad is on the right tract, if every tribal section's falaar aiming at him. I have my own personal opinion about that broadcast. I don't listen to it that much, but I honestly believe Yuusuf Garaad had done much to it than his predecessor, C/llaahi Xaaji. He expanded the organization, broadcasting three times a day, including one full hour. He diversified the place, currently boasting the most diverse staff ever. He added other programs that deal taboo topics and social issues. And when he personally interviews qabqabliyaasha, he reserves them the most harsh questions. Before he came around, they used to think it was their right place of free publicity to advertise their tribal beliefs without expecting tough questions. They are now shy to even want to be interviewed by him.
  18. I think ficilkaa C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed u qabtid is more than a political [qabyaalad] disagreement. It is bordering being a personal-level bickering. Waxaas then becomes aflagaado. Qof aan rayigiisa in a coherent manner u dhiiban karin ayaa aflagaado u jeesto.
  19. Salaan... One crucial fact folks in this thread have overlooked: Soomaalida dalkooda Soomaaliya ayee u yaqaanaan. Whether a gumeysidoon Talyaani added a suffix xaraf "a" is irrelevant today. What is relevant is what dadkooda isku yaqaanaan. Anaga Soomaaliya ayaa dalkeena u aqoonsanahay. If that doesn't help you, magaca rasmiga, oo axdigii ugu horeeye meel walba ugu qornaa, waxaa waaye Jamhuuriyada Soomaali, markee dambena Kacaanka ku daray ereyga Dimuqraadiga. Xataa haduu ereyga Soomaaliya ee xarafkiis dambe kasoo jeedo ereyga ugu dambeeyo "Somalia," it is, again, irrelevant today since it is Soomaalinized. I believe there is reason why it was Soomaalinized and our original Axdiga Qaranka didn't put a single "Somalia" noun in our constitution [i think]. I don't think a Talyaani gumeysidoon will recognize the word Soomaaliya. Jarmalka caalamka afka Ingiriiska loogu hadlo Germany ayaa loogu yaqaanaa, iyagana Deutschland ayee isku yaqaanaan. Same with Switzerland. Qeybta Talyaaniga Svizzera, sadexda qeyb kalena mid gooni heystaan, laakiin magaca dhabta ah ee wadanka waxaa waaye Confoederatio Helvetica ee Laatiinka ah.

Adduun badankiis ayaaba saan ku dhaqmo, ninba wadankiis wax u yaqaan ma'ahee wax kale loogu yaqaano caalamka. Hadee caalamka dalkeena "Somalia" u aqoonsanyihiin, so be it. Waxaa daran sida caalamka kuu aqoonsanyihiin inaad adiga isku aqoonsato. Kaligaa waalo wareer waaye, ha lagula waasho wanaag waaye aa maqli jiray.

  23. Salaan... Horta wax "shame" la dhaho iyo wax "eulogize" lagu amaanay ayaaba iska yar. "Cursed regime" or not, that regime at least stood the advancement of women's liberty. Waana in lagu aamaanaa, regardless how surwaalgaabs hated then. Soomaalida awalba dumarkooda plenty of xoriyad ee meelaha ku maraan ee lahayeen, laakiin reer surwaalgaab are trying too hard to reverse all of that. Dugsiga Khadiija Bintu Khuwayli oo u gaarka ah gabdhaha in wax lagu baro ayuu sheikh fu’aad sheegay inay leedahay qaybo badan qaybo lagu barto shareecada Islaamka oo maadada ugu horraysa ay tahay, barashada Computer-ka, tolista harqaanka, habka cunto karinta iyo wax barasho kale oo dhinaca farsamada gacanta la xiriirta. Kuliyada ee fureen maxaa lagu bartaa? Cunta karis barasheeda ma xumo laakiin...? Xarqaanle noqo ma xumo laakiin...? Iyo "wax barasho kale oo dhinaca farsamada gacanta la xiriirta." We know "farsamada gacanta la xiriira" waxee ka wadaan, for surely I don't think inay injineernimo ama makaanikonimo lagu baranaayo meeshaas. "Shareecada Islaamka" ee lee yihiin waana la og yahay manhajka kaliya lagu baranaayo meeshaas kooda kaliya see u arkaan mabda'ooda, saaba ka aragtid masawirka gabadhaha dhan iskoolkaas cusub dhigto, loona soo wada da'day sidii baabuur garaash ku jiro camal. Soomaali diintooda iyo dhaqankooda waxaas ma ahayn. Reer surwaalgaab manhajkaas ee rabaan dalka keenaan, eena faafiyaan. Soomaali badan ayaa aaminay, oo wax walba ee rabaan inay dadka ka gadaan "bidco" ugu waday. Laakiin maanta waala is bartay. Soomaali kun sano ee diinta Islaamka heysatay, kunkaas sanana jaahilnimo kuma aanan wada jirin, oo waa ogeyn diinteena suuban inay dhaqankeena asluubsan isku socon karaan. Hadii kale mar horee af Carabi ku hadli lahayeen, oo diintii iyo dhaqan Carbeedkii isku qaldi lahayeen, sidee reer surwaalgaab rabaan maanta. I can only imagine what reer surwaalgaab would think of Xaawo Taako today: "She should have stayed at her aqal and learned how to cook soor for men." In their view, I can guess, she died not as a martyr for her people and nation.
