Proud to be Soomaali to the fullest. And I won't bother answering those questions since they are purely irrelevant to Soomaali community. What is next--that I am bantu?? Aah...I had to say that. ________________ Macsalaama.

However, the guy was really eccentric, I mean, just look what he had one: Some white guys are carrying him on his throne in this undated photo. If you look closer at it, you'd see a Swede holding an umbrella for him. A bunch of white men kneeling before him. A thanking short speech to the Queen in a luncheon hosted on his name in London on his state visit to Great Britain: "Mr Queen, Sir, Horrible Ministers, invented guests, ladies under gentlemen. I thank the Queen very plenty for what he has done to me. I tell you, I have eaten so much that I am now fed up with malicious meal. Before I continue, I would kindly ask you to open the windows so that the climate may get in plenty. But before I go back I must invert Mr Queen to my country and I can assure you, Mr Queen that when you come, I shall revenge to you. You will eat a full cow and I will work very difficult to make sure that you will come back with a very full stomach. For now I am sorry that I have just made a short call on you. The next time I will make a long one possible for a full moon. Thank you for letting me undress you in front of all the disgusting people." What he preferred to be called: "His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadji Dr. Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular." To Nixon after cuts in US aid to Uganda: "My dear brother, it is quite true that you have enough problems on your plate, and it is surprising you have the zeal to add fresh ones. At this moment you are uncomfortably sandwiched in that uncomfortable affair (Watergate), I ask almighty God to solve your problems. We Ugandans hope that the great United States of America does not continue to use its enormous resources, especially its military might, to destroy human life on earth." Wrote to Queen in 1975: "My dear Queen. I would like you to arrange for me to visit Scotland, Ireland and Wales to meet the heads of revolutionary movements fighting against your imperialist oppression." Reportedly a telex sent to the Queen: "Dear Liz, if you want to know a real man, come to Kampala." Call him whatever you want, but one thing is clear: The guy was funny, at least according to my sense of humour. _________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... The answer is, macalinka, no. As a matter of fact, I do have some other objective concrete feelings to solve Soomaali qabyaalad situation for once, at least. Resettle every clan from its 'traditional' base and move it to where it becomes an alien identity. Force inter-marriage from every known clan in Soomaaliya to one another; share each land equally to every clan; do not allow one clan to dominate one land. All lands belong Soomaalis. This idea of 'my' qabiil owns or settles this land is out in this modern age, where we are witnessing people moving freely to almost every country. Just imagine a society living together harmonally by all of those nooh-speaking living in Seylac, wah-speaking living in Boosaaso, dee-speaking living in Baydhabo, aga-speaking living in Jowhar, heedhe-speaking living in Marka, aree-speaking living in Hargeysa All living together in serenely in one town, each understanding each one's respective dialect. What a Utopia Soomaali society would that have been. And I gotta tell you, it could have been at least so interesting, at least from the perspective of comedy. And finally, make a minority person to lead our country. I know that my dream is a bit far-fetched and fanciful, however, in reality, that is one of the ultimate solutions to Soomaali predicament and quandary. Agree?? ________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... Koronto on Kanata?????!!! Ahahaha. We are today living in a Third World country's condition. The entire city is in a blackout condition, and don't even have an electricity, to begin with. Darn us. All of you Reer Koronto out there, let's introduce Aamino to our wonderful maqaayad, Xamdi and show her one of our decent menus. If anyone is going to be there, please put your name right here, especially Koronto folks, such as: Ilhaan. Kool-Kat. Rock's Chick. Nova. Haaruun. Nafisa. Jawaahir.

Salaan... Meel inta eh tarbiyadii iyo edbintii aaba waxaa laga dhigay abiyuus. :eek: Cajiib iyo nus. Wuuba u naxariistay aabaheed, feer iyo faralaab haduu ku bilaabi lahaa waxaan maba dhici laheen. If some people are defining and comparing "abuse" with edbin, then I am sure almost 90% of us had been "abused" in one way or other, including the "abuse" by macaliimintii Quraanka nasoo baray. We came wadamada Galbeedka, all of sudden our tongue got a catch phrase: abuse, abuse, abuse, abuse. Dalkeena waa daganeen iyo Carabtana waa dagi jirnay, waligeenana "abuse" wax la dhaho ma aanan maqal, hadii hada soo baxday wax cusub dheh. Hadii dharbaaxo iyo babis laguugu soo canaantay ay noqotay "abuse," cajiib ahaa hee walaahi. Ilaahey haka samad bixiyo aabahaas maskiinka eh, gabadhiisna Ilaahey ha usoo hanuuniyo wax kale aan dhahno malahee. Some of you cannot even distinguish between what exactly 'abuse' is and the parents right to disciple his/her offspring. Ileen sometimes rubbish Western ideas waala iska qaataa iyadoo la su'aalin. We don't even have the equivalent Soomaali word of 'abuse' let alone to practice it. And whatever happened to Caasi Waalidiin.. _________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... Bari-Nomad, I only stayed Xamar because Xamar was my only originally intended destination, ee marka adi intee ii wadaa, Gaalkacyaa??? I might have gone to Hargeyso enroute to Jabuuti, but I had switched to Nairobi instead. And teeda kale if I am suffering from Xamarism, woooow, dankis. It sure beats to suffer from my-qabiil's-land, otherwise known as regionalism, don't you agree? P.S.: Some people are repeating as if Xamar has dozens of roadblocks, well you are not right into this. While in Xamar, I had never seen any roadblock, but outside of Xamar, I only had seen two. Those two roadblocks were located outside of Xamar in Cisaleey and Deyniile towns, both protecting the airport strips. ________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... HornAfrique, you are not alone supporting C/qaasin, and don't despair there walaalkiis. C/qaasin Salaad Xasan is sure not perfect, but he also sure is the least tainted leader in Soomaali politics now, and has the support of many Soomaalis, regardless of their qabiil background, including me. If C/qaasin really cared warlordism, he wouldn't have stayed in Qaahiro in the '90s while his counterparts wrecked Soomaaliya, particularly Xamar. Sure he wants power, but who doesn't? And his religious conviction is one further reason to support him. Some are against him and all their diatribes against on him draws from clan-lines. Some hate him about his religious conviction, about his bit wadaadnimo. Others hate him more because of the qabiil he belongs. And others get irritated to even hear his name because he makes some negative noises about the regions they enthusiastically support. ______________ Macsalaama.

P.S.: Qabiilnimo Xamar maku difaacooyo, even my qabiil Xamar ma dago, lakiin waa magaalada aan adduunka ugu jeclahay.

Salaan... In the societies most of us live now, we've been bombarded that we are living in the age of "enlightment"--an age of the most 'civilized, progressive, free-thinking, open-minded" people on Earth at this time. No wonder. We are thus then witnessing an age of consenting and lending your wife or husband to another person for one night stand, and feel or hold no grudge. Or even sharing your spouse with many other people in one same bed--s/he with the other person, and you with the other person's spouse, vice-verse. :eek: However, at the same time, unbelievably those same people would be against the notion of polygamy. If you think this is a far-fetched and mind-boggling, well, think again. Just read this article from the Toronto Star If this is, then, the ultimate civilization, count me out.

Salaan... Toronto in this summer is becoming like London--constant showers. Darn. Almost this summer is an extended spring. And the weather in Yurub, Ilaahey ha idiin garab galo.
