Qoryooley, bro explain to me what you mean Hard Life, really! what hard life are you talking about? First of all if you are a somali teen and is or going to be 18yrs old Now,you must feel Lucky that your parents are Somalis, cz no one is asking you to find a job and contribute the household acitivities, all is asked to do is study hard , stay away from the nonsense,and obey you God ,respect your family.You know American way , Hit the road jack at age 18th. So what problem are you talking about?

MVP, good for you, the title you have acheived is hard to get,i am dying if God wills next year to acheive that prestegious Title,"Haji". Remember not every one can get even if you want unless God called your name.Once again congratulaion Haji.

Wlc Back, bro ninyabin, how u been, glad 2 c u still out there kicking .

Yet they always forget that this so called beauty of theirs would not have been possible without the union of a somali man and women Wow this is so true, one of the best pieces i have seen, well it is only fair to say , that our older generation done well their part, by producing "US" the Diamonds of the world,true beleivers in GOD,Culturally Safe. But are we the current generation need to abandon this , for the sake of "Skin Color" ,hope not, but if one of us does, please take care yourself and good luck.Don't trash talk to our souls.

I know that most of the well educated somalis, who have something to offer Our Motherland ,want to do so for all the possiblities, without any hesistation, with the exception of one thing, "Safety" is the treshold for our trouble. I for one will risk my life to better the well being of our children without any reservation of who they are, but all i see is Hatered and more Hatred. I know some of my families are migrated back to the motherland and yes i do send money, but not to be bought ,Weapons , Spears or any other destructive aspects. Plz let's focus the topic and stay away from the fray, too many broken glasses flying, and we can't cover our eyes too long. Help if you can, if not don't.

Abu -ammar, enlighten me , i am told that at one point ppl use to communicate this script, if so when did this script vanish from our life?

I know this is ladies Jive, but Idil sis this is a serious matter. I did thesis on this issue at my school,and i can shed some lights for u. If you are really experiencing for what you said, then you are in a high risk to get Stroke or perhaps heart attack, you need to see your doctor as soon as you can get there.This sleeplessness perhaps is due to restlessness, worry and stress. There are several medication that can ease this problem,but before taking consult your doc. 1-Ignatia Amara 2-kali Phosphoricium. i hope sis this helps, good luck.and take care your body well.

Gedid , you actually told the truth, i conquer your point bro, yes those of us who has been in the states for so long will know this very well.I at one point never even have an association with somalis not cz i didn't want to , cz there were not enough somalis at my time.But since the war starts back home and we have now in the states alone i blv over million somlais i blv ,i have realized how wrong it is not to value your own Culture , your own ppl, your own Kind. I feel sorry for those of us who deliberately misleading the rest of us, just for the sake of Mxing the Colors.Yes your ppl deserve to be First Last .

would I marry a non-somali? yes. why? because I can. Ok hear that before But ethnicity is not something that needs to be imperative when looking for marriage Wow, that is new to me If part of your family will never accept you with a non-somali, then they are not even your REAL family! Now this is hard, i know i love my family to dear,first your MOM, give the respect she deserves!

Dad you'r right, i have lived all my life in the Washington DC metro area, that is VA,DC,MD.And i have never heard or seen any Somali Gangs. If ther are some now, they must be a transplant from another states, specially in VA this is a conservative state.

Most of us want a wife or girlfriend to have plenty of time for us. Also,one must pay a very serious consideration about marriage.For instance western girls are too caught up in ideas of women's freedom (in terms of their careers, etc) for the sake of freedom. It isn't very practical though, We all want to be able to start a family someday, and that is hard to do if the mother is very ambitious or has different values from yours(difernt Race)",But if all you want is an offspring of mixed race then that is completely differnt issue,and i do respect your wishes.It is usually easier to deal with your Queens/Kings(somalis), because you all tend to have more in common with each other,and they tend to understand you better ,since you share or atleast understand your basic values.I happen to see most of outside marriages are just failure waiting to happen,believe me you will feel secretely miserable inside ,and probably you might regret it,because one of you will be forced to copromise all the time. It is all about inherent value . Well let me shut up i talk too much. Peace Before gold is turned in the beautiful ornaments that are much loved by many, the metal has to go through tremendous amount of heat. I guess the same is true for us too. After years of broken promises and bruises- may be a person turns to gold. May be the wisest amongst us has the highest number of heartaches. Who knows? By Audrea Aruza

Really this is one of the few times i posted a thread from Somali (Leaders) i guess. Somali leaders sign landmark agreement Staff Reporter NAIROBI, 30 January 2004 Somalia's warring factional leaders, attending peace talks in Nairobi, Kenya, have signed a landmark compromise agreement on forming a new government in the lawless Horn of Africa country. NAIROBI: Following a signing ceremony witnessed by Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki, the leader of the Mogadishu-based Transitional National Government, Abdulkassim Salat Hassan, hailed the accord as a good omen and a giant leap forward toward peace. "I wish to say to my Somali brothers and sisters that what we have achieved today has truly changed the mood of our people at home and abroad," he said. " We pray that the people of Somalia will put behind the tragic moments of the past and will start a new chapter for a better and prosperous future for the generation to come." The signing marks the first time that all major Somali warlords have endorsed a document that could help end Somalia's 13-year civil war. The agreement consists of amendments to a controversial interim charter, which was adopted last July by delegates to the Kenyan-sponsored talks. Among other things, the delegates at the July talks had agreed that a new transitional parliament would be in power for four years, and its 351 members would be selected by clan political leaders. But several factional leaders rejected the proposal for not including traditional elders in the selection process, and walked out of the talks. The compromise agreement reduces the number of parliament members to 275. And, while they will be elected by clan political leaders, all members must be endorsed by traditional elders as well. In addition, the transitional parliament would now be in power for five years, not four. Once the parliament is formed, members will choose a president who will, in turn, nominate a prime minister to form a government. But observers say a final peace agreement is still some distance away. The warlords have yet to tackle the issue of how to share power among groups which, for more than a decade, have relied on guns to settle their differences. Somalia plunged into anarchy after factional fighters overthrew dictator Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991. Quarreling and bitter fighting among factional militias and their leaders since then have hampered numerous attempts to form a central government. (Voice of America News)

Amazingly those somalis who immigrated abroad lately seems to act Unsomlis all the time, by continously criticizing our btlf Somali Culture. If you don't know Yet how good our culture correction our Btfl Somali Culutre is ,then may i suggest don't even ask the Q Plz.

Aden A Osman was the greatest Somali leader ever. Abu ,The sad aspect for your claim is absurd and illogical,if you go back my previous post i did mention that yes Mr Aden was a great man, but don't u thing that the nuisance you making is rubbish,by saying Aden is the greatest somali leader EVER?! i know you luv the man and by reading his bio, i came to the conclusion that he was allright and gntl, but u need to learn also to give where credit is due. Don't be self centered and get only mule sight. There are other gr8 somali Leaders in the Past,in the present and will be in the future!

Mr Powell, knew all along that there was not a single iota of evidence about the Program(WMD), but he went along with the Bush's Family, cz he owe them one, and he paid it. Now i Predict this now days in Washington Dc there is this talk about him Resigning sooner then later. So i do blv he will step down or face a further scrunity.

What is with this State "Mind-So- Daah", every time you turn around you hear all these Killings, Rape, Teen Pregnancy, and the worst of it, here comes Somali Teen who are Gangster.

If this Rare Poet gntl of Somalia, ever comes to North America no matter where , even if it is in Alaska I will visit him, i have heard so many good stories about this man,also am told that he has been under house arrest for most of Barre's Regime. So I hope he makes U-turn and comes to the States.This man belongs to all Somalis, if there is still one exists.

May Allah give him Mercy.
