Salaan... How come we've missed the biggest Somali-achieving "emperors" that can forever claim the undisputed fame and prestige of being the only Soomaali people to rule over almost all other Somali-inhabited lands for more than 400 years. They were Soomaali. So far in this thread, I hadn't seen anyone write or mention them yet. Ajuuraan Sultanate Those Soomaali leaders' feat achieved what no precedent or later comer would ever accomplish. Their reign swayed a vast land--ruling from central capital of Qalaafe in Soomaali Galbeed, their umatched domain extended beyond what is now Muqdisho, Hobyo, as far north as Boosaaso, as far south as close to Jubbada, including the in-between provinces now known as Hiiraan, Shabeelooyinka, Baay, Gedo, NFD {which Kenya occupies now}, Galgaduud, Mudug, Bakool {and did I mention Soomaali Galbeed yet?}--oh, dear, they ruled and achieved what we have yet to achieve--a complete Soomaali unity ruled by a Soomaali dynasty. Finally, maryooleey couldn't stand burdened with the enormous amount of taxation that was as foreign. With the involvements of each clan and tribe conspiring, they were finally crushed, and with that, vanquished with history's dustbin. Their last "czar" was a man named Olol Diinle and his Mustaxiil, I believe. Some of their remnant "sultanate" was later inherited by Geledi Sultanate, one of collaborator clans that annihilated and dismembered the majestic realm. The latter itself ruled, from Afgooye, for aproximately 150 years a large junk from Gedo in the west to as far as Baraawe in the south. If we only could have recorded the unfolding history back then.

Salaan... To some, their lives revolve around qabiil. Indoctrinated in their clan’s unfounded and unquestioned myth the day they spoke, you can’t reason with them. Their cocooned lives were unfortunately constrained to "clan-circle"--friends being the same clan, avoiding the "strangers" and being hardly suspicious about other Soomaalis, it isn’t easy to reason with them. They are enthusiastic to know one’s qabiil before they befriend with the person. Those characteristics are embodied by the feelings of mum the moment an "outsider" randomly joins their not-so unsuspecting group {read clan} conversation. The discerning ones are quick to change the subject, others’ uncomfortable silences say it all. For the folks like those, you can let them live in their cocoons, which they have every right to. They are largely minority, but, alas, they have a well-constructed vocal voice that few can confront. Marka we will see where it goes. I, however, personally do not give a crap about clan loyalty, starting with my own. I can proudly say that I never ever paid clan "qaaraan," which you never know where it goes, even if it is advertised positively. The bizarre border where clan loyalty stops is never questioned until a brother kills his blood brother. The moment the suspicious "stranger" factor is out of the picture, I against my brother begins. This qaaraan episode reminds what happened to this individual I personally know in London a several years ago. A sick warlord came for a medical check-up to London, and "clan-circle" started a grand qaaraan lagu daaweeyo. He got well, went back to his fiefdom. A few months later, he and his minions clashed, the same major clan-circle, this time disoriented into sub-clan level, broke into two groups, each vying the support of one side, organized two separate qaaraan to support the erstwhile sick warlord and his opponents {or even take him out of the picture ( read "kill")}. My friend was summoned up to pay his share, this time in sub-clanish level. He protested, telling them it was only a short while ago that they were paying his medical bills, saving his life and now they want to terminate him. What a world! What a tribal nonsensical world!

Salaan... Folks, I was searching something related to Soomaalis, and quickly came across this thread ee ila aqriya bal: In the city I live in there are so many Somalis. I like my brothers and sisters from the East and nor do I have any hard feelings but why why why do they have to talk so loud all the time in public... I just spent 30 minutes at a coffee place during lunch to catch up on some reading and there was this Somali guy half way across this big sitting area and everyone, I mean everyone in the coffee shop could hear him talk on the phone. Of course, we don’t know what he was talking about and I don’t care but why does he have to talk so loud? It was so embarrassing. This is what gives us bad names. The problem is, the white {bolds mine} folks can’t tell the difference between Ethiopians and Somali and take as the same. I am embarrassed!!! By another Amxaar/Tigrey poster: I was trying to buy a phone card, Man it tooks me a long time to talk to the grocery store owner. These two gentel men from somali never stop talking. It is hard to interrupt. they don't care about you unless, you keep your mouth open like them. I think they have a luck of respect for others. I don't mean all somalis. You can't compare them with our poeple. Our people have more discipline and respect to others better than any other African countries. From an Itoobiyan forum. _____________ PS, to those who wrote the above sentences, just in case you are reading now as I happened to yours: @#$&% OFF!

the differences between a jilbaab and an abaya When Soomaali people talk about "jilbaab" and "abaya," only two styles come to mind, which is: When a Soomaali says jilbaab, what s/he means is what this lady is wearing. Other Muslims have different, wider meansings for this word. This is the Soomaali interpretation of the word "abaya." It is this one Saudi style that most comes to mind. Soomaali sisters do not wear this, safe for few sisters that live in Saudi Arabia. When a Soomaali says "khmar" or khamaar in Soomaali, this is what they mean, the head covering only. It is also called in Soomaali "sifaleeti." When Soomaalis talk about "hijab" this is what they mean, that head-to-shoulder covering. In Soomaali, it is spelled xijaab. This being a Soomaali-style of covering. Most of our ladies cover like this, like the two ladies on far right. how is a hajib properly worn? What sorts of restrictions are on the style of these pieces It depends on who you ask. It is generally agreed, though, that the hair, neck and shoulder is standard covering of hijab. And those women you saw wearing "Calvin Klein scarves," to them, at least, they are thinking they are wearing "proper" hijab. As it is said, each has her own interpretation. We have no reason or intention to judge, and they are plenty ingorant folks who rush to do so.

Salaan... It truly and finally dawned on me the true definition of "global village" the other day. I was online MSN and my sister and her children came online with her camera turned on at their home in Xamar. I would have never expected this sooner to happen a house in Xamar hooked to the Internet 24 hours a day and on camera and voice-chatting. Magoow waala hormaray.

Salaan... Hada kahor aan aqriye qoraalkaan aan soo guurin doono oo aan ka aqriye magasiin ama joornaal la dhaho Haboon {ku magac fiicanaa} oo laga helo dhamaan meelahee Soomaalida ku oofan tahay, laakiin laguna daabaco Miniyaanabolis. Aqriso wacan. ________________ Taariikh ahan hab dhaqameedka guursiga gabdhaha Soomaaliyed waxa uu ahaa mid soo taxnaa intii Soomaaliya jirtay, waxaana uu u kala baxaa mid dhow iyo mid khaas ah. Guurka dhow waa kan xigtadu is guursato, kan dheerina waa kan labo qof oo abtiris ahaan kala fogi isguursadaan, waana kan Soomaalidu jeceshahay. Nooc kasta ha noqdee, hab dhaqanka guurka dumarka Soomaaliyeed waxa uu soo maray qaabab iyo marxalado badan oo aad u kala duwan, kuwaas oo iskugu jira kuwan caam ah oo lagaga dhaqmo dhamaan geyiga Soomaaliyeed iyo kuwa ku eg meelo gaar ah. Waxaa tusaale ahaan usoo qaadan karnaa kugu ugu waa weyn, oo kala ah: Boojaal, labixida hablaha, dumaalida, bixinta hablaha, qoofaalka, hareenka, udub-qabsi, qudba-sireeda, IWM. Boojaal: Waxaa uu ahaa qab dhaqameed guursi aad u qalafsanaa, kaas oo la kala dhici jiray gabdhaha iyo xoolaha ay la joogto, kadibna sidaas baa lagu guursan jiray, xurmo iyo xiddidnimo midna malahayn, waxayna keeni jirtay iska hor imaadyo dhiig ku daato. Taasi maanta waa mid dabar go'day dalka Soomaaliyeed. Qafaalka Hablaha {dhabar garaac}: Waxa uu ahaa guursi aad u qalafsan oo gabdhaha xoog lagu muquunin jiray, taas oo go lagu ridan jiray ama faras fankiis lagu qaadi jiray, inkasto oo u dhac ahaa hadana gabdhaha sidaas lagu guursado, waa la is kula xiddi jiray. Nooca guurkani waa mid maanta ka sal guuray dalka Soomaaliyeed. Heeranka Hablaha: Waxa uu ahaa qaab guursi hore oo hablaha Soomaaliyeed iyaga oo calaf doon ah inta ay reerkooda ka tagaan bay cido kale u tagaan. Inta badan hablahaas xil weyn baa la iska saari jiray, siiba duqayda reerkaas. Waxayna siin jireen raga fiican oo ay hubaan in ay gabdhaha si fiican u dhaqaan. Gabdhaha habkan lagu guursado si fiican baa loogu xiddidi jiray. La Bixida Hablaha {La Roorka}: Waa qaab guursi caan ah oo illaa maanta ka jira dalka Soomaaliyeed, miyi iyo magaalaba, marka hore way isa shukaansadaan ka dibna way isla baxaan. Waxaana la isla tagaa meel masafo ah oo lagu meheriyo. Dumaal: Waa hab dhaqan guursi ah oo muddo soo taxnaa illaa hadana si caam ahaana ugu jira dhulka Soomaaliyeed. Waxaa uu dhacaa markii naag nin leh uu ka dhinto, waxa naagtii dumaala marxuumka walaalihiis ama xigtadiis. Qudba Sireed: Waa guur qarsoodi ah oo ee ay og yihiin labada is guursatay, wadaadka wax mehershay iyo markhaatiyaasha oo keliya. WAana waxa ay ku heshiiyeen labada is guursatay, taas oo laga yaabo in ka baqeen ragbasho dhaca sida xaasaska kale. Udub Qabsi: Waa hab gabadhu inta ay nin dush ka jeclaato gasho ninka gurigooda, waxayna ay qabsataa udub-dhexaadka ama sariirtiisa, waxaan caado inta badan ah in halkaas gabadha lagu meheriyo ama xaal weyn la siiyo. Nooca guurkani illaa hada wuu jiraa. Bixinta Hablaha: Waa hab dhaqan guur ee soo taxnaa muddo dheer, illaa maantana waa mid si caam ahaan ah ugu jira dalka Soomaaliyeed. Soomaalidu waxa ay gabdhaha isu siiyaan siyaabo faro badan, hadaan tusaale idiin siiyo waxaa kamid ah: Doonis: Waa gabadha la bixiyo kadib markii labo beelood ay isu soo gole fariistaan, isna weydiistaan gabadhaas. Waxaa gabadhaas laga qaadan jiray gabanti, waxaana loo dhigi jiray dadab oo ayahd in gabadha iyo ninka la siiyey ay isku arkaan. Godobtir: Si loo soo af jaro colaada labo beelood waxaa dhici jirtay in marka magta la bixinaayo la raacsiiyo gabar godobtir ah oo la siiyo wiilasha reerka dhibaatadu gaartay, halkaas oo midkood guursado. Waxaa bixiyo reerka eedaysanaha ah halkaas oo inta badan xiriir wanaagsani dhexmaro dhibahana iyo eedaysanaha. Xigsiisan: Waa naagta oo dhimatay walaasheed oo la siiyo ninkii ay ka dhimatay haddii uu nin fiican yahay. Ku Xamaynta: Waa hablaha oo la siiyo dadka Soomaalidu aad u qadariso madaxda hogaamo dhaqameedka ah, sida: ugaas, suldaan, culimada iyo qofkii uu waalidku damco, iwm. Xurmada Xiddidka: Xurmada xiddidku waa waxa ugu muhiimsan oo qiimo iyo qaayo weyn ku leh dhammaan ummada Soomaaliyeed meel kasta ee joogaan, belad iyo baadiye, dibeda iyo dalkaba. Dadka xiddidka ah waxa ugu weyn ee inta badan dhexmara waxa kamid ah dad, hanti iyo xiriir wacan. __________________ Haboon, Agoosto 2004.

Salaan... These "biased" {read above} and "jealous of the new ministers" xildhibaano are the same people who voted C/laahi Yuusuf into presidency two months ago, and they were applauded. Now they are exercising their xuriyad, dacaayad aa lagu sameynaa. For our information, they were 200 or so xildhibaano in that decision making day. More than 150 voted kalsooni in laga noqsado dowlada, two were against and the rest abstained. I don't think 150 of them all were "jealous." Some of course were, but some other significant members had a legitimate concerns too. Axdiga kumeelgaarka waa lagu tuntay, starting from the day wasiirka koowaad la magacaabay. Some were against wasiirada tirada badan, where one wasaarad was divided into three branches just to satisfy and find a position for a suu and hoobiye owner.

Salaan... The xildhibaano {I don't know qof ee xil dhab ah u hayaan} are simply extending their "vacation" time in Neyroobi, thus voting kalsooni kala noqoshada dowladaan xataa umusha ka bixin. Now, another around, another month of "consultation" that will possibly be held at New Stanley, at Corner House, etc, by again naming the old ministers, same old faces with new shirts, if at all. Who needs to go to a dusty and hot Soomaali city when you are vacationing in the ultimate comfy beds of the likes 680 iyo Hilton hotels. The only people who are surely happy about this fiasco are Kiinyaati businessmen, those who own those hotels. I hope he, the ra'iisul wasaaraha, changes wasiirada this time, making them limited to maximum 20 important wasaarado, and starting from wasiirka arimaha dibada, that guy who flew to Amxaar kingdom of Addis Ababa the very moment he was named, "signing" mutual relationships and "treaties" shouldn't be in that position.

Salaan... I see my brother didn't make the list this time, so I am officially against this newly nominated armaajo, err cabinet. At least he should have been given Wasiirka Jacburiska portfolio. Darn you so-called Sheekh Aadan Uuloow Kuuloow Madoowe for stealing my brother's seat.
