A Faarax Jaamac living in a nursing home {koow}; supposedly living in a Western country about a half-century ago {lama}. Aww, suspicion may arise then. Some people don't even bother to change the slightest plotlines to any story to make them more persuasive and credible. But why bother, they say, when they can change the names and holla, here you can read it by the name of Hanna, not Xaliimo. And forget about Faarax, but Michael. I must admit, though, that it was a nice story, neatly written piece, but Faarax Jaamac in a nursing home?? Anyway, dankis for sharing, and don't get mad, will you? ________________ Soon Wanaagsan.

Salaan... Ooh, Buntiland, Soomaaliland, Jinniland...give me a break. Someone once uttered, "Heedhe, ciyaalkaan yaac yaacaya yaa inaga qabta oo salallaahul calaa nabi yaqaano." See, this is the result of inevitable rivalry. This is what happens when every "cid" tries to aspire being a nation, on the expense of blaming their brothers whatever negative happens inside their turf. Let's all try to build and live in one spacious, sharing room and forget about the now-popular suffix "lands." _______________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... Originally posted by Entrepreneur: I have noticed that most of my somali brethen after listning and enjoying banadiri music would alter the words "MURTI MALAHA". How did I miss this beforehand? What songs have more "murti" than when you listen such heavy hitters of soothing, smooth, comforting words and songs by such legends: Sulfa, Faadumo Qaasin, Shimaali, Axmed Naaji, Caasho Cabdoow, Luul Jeylaani, among others? Just try to imagine listening this very moment the flowing, melodic, tuneful words of, "Aawey hee, aarigiis ma iloobinee...waxaana u ooya, ooya caawada... Try to imagine listening that and I am sure your tendered heart is already cracked and got a lot more gentle. The reason those folks who keep saying the Banaadiri songs are not "murti" enough is because they don't understand, while in fact those songs are the simplest Soomaali genre songs. And those very folks with their "murti" judgement keep picking such figures of Xasan Aadan Samatar, a very overstated singer. I only wish if he could have stuck his Maaymaay songs, which he mastered and was very comfortable at rather than switching. See, when he sings in Weeraroow dooyoow waniini... and Beledweyn are not the same. And it is obvious which one he is comfortable at. C/qaadir Jubba Xasan Aadan Samatar Khadra Daahir The Mooge Brothers Sahro Axmed In my opinion, these singers are all hype, and nothing else. If not utterly overemphasized. Perhaps the reason is that I never was fond the "qaaci" genre to begin with. _________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... Originally posted by Rahima: Headaches could be relieved by vomiting, eating (which you can't), being calm and idle, using cold rags, cooling the body, elevating the temperature, avoiding noise... These are basic commonsense remedies that alleviate headaches. I know, I do. Especially forcing myself to deliberately have throw-ups that sometimes my stomach has nothing left; in that case, I eat as little as I could in order again to vomit because it hugely relieves in the next moments. I thought it was a secret remedy of mine.

Salaan... Originally posted by Samurai Warrior: MMA- Bruv, could you be kind enough as to elaborate on this (That fikrad was rejected by no other than those who advocate it now) please? Kaabe, I thought you knew it, mise waala isku dhibooyaa inaa busta soo jafo. In March 1958, a party called HDMS {Xisbiya Dastuur Mustaqiil al Soomaal, representing primarily the inhabitants of Baay and Bakool regions} proposed a federal government to the less powerful and limited adminstration led by C/llaahi Ciise, believing when Soomaaliya gains its full independence to have a federal government. That proposal was disregarded and shunned before it was even given a proper consideration. It was never studied. It was rejected purely by the powerful SYL party, who adamantly were against the very hint of federalization of Soomaali state. However, we know who predominated the SYL party at the time of independence. Why I am reminding to you about this, is that I am for SYL's rightful rejection of that idea, and I still am against it. But I don't know why those who dominated SYL had changed their minds and want a federal state now. There are some fishy, unexplained reasons than because "we've tried every other system but federal." Give me a break. Did we try to install an Islamic government? Did we try to have a monarchy state? That excuse of we didn't try 'federal state yet' has no basis either than we didn't try a monarch kingdom. _________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... An overcrowded small boat sailed from Libya on October 03, 2003, destined to Italy with close some 100 people; they journeyed with little food, inadequate, scarcely fresh water and not with any blankets to shield from the cold on the sea. What was expected to be a great journey ended with a very heartbreaking tragedy. All but 15 of them perished in the sea, succumbing to the strong cold tides of the Mediterranean, from the cold itself, starving and unbearable thirst. To those 15 who barely made to Italy, some are in critical condition. Among them was a visibly shaken father who lost three of his four children. 13 dead bodies were found on the boat with other alive terrified 15 survivors; other bodies had been thrown into sea to make a room to those who were still alive. Those 13 bodies were buried today {Friday, October 24} in Rome, Italy. Here are their pictures: The interim ambassador giving his sorrow speech on the tacsi A visibly shaken mayor of Rome People paying their last respects, among them some former Italian ministers The rainbow flag is the flag of a Soomaali organization in Talyaaniga ________________ How they had wished to set a foot on any European soil. How they dreamed to a day of reaching to Europe. And it ended their bodies burried there, not living in Yurub. O' may Allaah help our people, who long desperately for peace, seeking to find it in anywhere; some while seeking perishing on their way in the Saxara, on the seas and on lands. May Allaah forgive them all, and grant jana: Aamiin. Aamiin, Allahoow, aamiin.

Salaan... Awright! Awright! I must admit, I used to be a one who used to fancy and entertain with the big words once.

However and nevertheless, big words never bothered me; bring them all on. Why? Read above. ____________________ Macsalaama.

Salaan... Originally posted by Baashi: I voted for Republic! I'm against the idea of the institutionalized triblasim plus I think Somalis are not matured enough to embrace federalism...federalism is reduced a union of tribes...each tribe is composed of sub-clans, and by the time these sub-clans settle their diffrences...we will be left a ineffective, polorized, and disintegrated polity, where every project in regional importance is seen as a one that benefits to a particular sub-clan and thus blocked by other sub-clans. Thank you very much, indeed, Mr Baashi. Exactly what I always said. Laakiin yaa ku dhageysanaayo. And by the way, the idea of federalism was rejected almost 50 years ago when it was initiated and suggested by the people who live primarily Baay and Bakool regions. That fikrad was rejected by no other than those who advocate it now. Why they had rejected the federalism concept before is mysterious. Perhaps, their power-base is shrank, and only federalism would they think to achieve that power back into glorious days. __________________ Macsalaama.

It doesn't really inspire, rather disgraces their race to the point of lowliness. Talking about 'thick' lips, 'kinky' hair, 'big broad' nose, etc, clearly shows how lower rank and status those physical qualities are to them, thus aspiring to have gentle lips, soft hair and straight nose. ________________ P.S.: That poem would never really inspire Soomaalis, since most Soomaalis do not suffer from inferiority complex, such the aforementioned physical qualities.
