well this topic it explosive and it even will make two brothers from the same mothers fight for no reason, if you get my point, so here is what the creater of this topic want us to tell him, he wants for us to say i belong to ----- clan but why not tell us first who u r then , we will tell u that we are all somalis and muslims, and anythign after that is how u look into it, the person who said if i have two ppl with me and one of them is my caln , that he feels more confident in that person then the other, that says all about somali thinking, we all are Racist in one way or other capacity but we disguise too much, we are the masters of disguise in life, so all u can do is look what happened to ur country and you should learn by an example ,good luck all.

i think the sister asked a very simple question, it might be bigger then what she was asking, but if i have to give you and advise what you want do in your life, then i think you should pay and weight my response to you very wisely. Don't do it just because you want join for the sake of joining the army, sister at one point in my life i took the test for joining the Navy , went to Baltimore , stayed the night at the hotel and in the morning took the exam passed ,took the physical passed ,but guess what then, they told me i have to go to the point camp , but my intention was to go to the Officer's Candidate , but they wouldn't let me it, even if you have a degree or about get one, these ppl have no interest in u , they will anything to lower ur expectation, so good luck and if you already made up ur mind do it, but be carefull.

For all these years your Family was there for you, what about you? are you in their best interst in life or you are their worst nightmare?

sister cute, the two should not be mingled together , they are as far differ in meaning as the in appearns infront of one. First to love, This is sort of speaking low, like i love New york, i love your shirt, i love dogs, i love cats, i love to go out. did you get my point, did you also hear the quote"Spek Low if you Speak Love" Secondly, to be in love , wow this is the mother of it.This is when you provide a warm, safe and inspiring place for some one who values your genuine, and meanigful encounter they had with you. Treat this person with respcet and integrity, invest time and energy in their relationships,and you have to be open minded in meeting a kindred spirit.. even if if it is on the short term. I may forget what you said, but I will never forget how you made me feel. -

well Enter good to see you rasing this topics,and if you keep doing this i will be checking on this site, well bro no matter what in life we all have titles ,for instance your name is considred a sole Title, so the rest is a surregate titles just to enhance once wish, i bet every one of us liked to be called one of these titles u have mentioned , whether u fullfilled or not, but i agree with one thing, i know some somalis who went to nursing school and they being called by Doctores, so it is just you know i think appreciation for that person what he or she striving, so titles are good , but not important in real life.

maashallah, i am saddened to hear this incident or perhaps homecide case, may god bless her, but what i am wondering mostly are the somalis in general,i am so amazed by how don't protect and look over each other, this is the darn thing we need to learn, why on earth was she alone, was she with these thugs who killed her, someone must know about those guys, what about her so called friends, you know ladies know each other who they are dating or going out with it , if any one knows plz go to the authority,don't just sit there and think that it never happened to you, if this happens to one somalis women it happens to all of us, so do something about it, secondly i am constantly hearing that the somali women in this state Minneapolis, they (somali women) are having hard time living there, i hear they have been harassed by either Blacks or non blacks, they have been snatched their bags, some old somali men have been killed, what is going out there, can you guys live like this,without doing anything about it, do something organize yourself and protect your fellow somalians, good luck.

wow sister soulja, contarary to the ppl who disagree with your assessment i blv some of it is true, but what i don't get it why men allways have to suffer at the end?

Hi again, like i said i will keep chekcing once in a while, and here is my take on this issue, Paltlak bro where should i start, first in your heading you said we should be proud to be an American Citizens, i think you forget to metnion ,that first and foremost we are Somalians by birth and by culture, so i wish you should have said We(Somallians) should have been proud to be Somali/American Citizens, having said that yes USA has provided a lot of support for the somaliasns in this country and for that matter acroos the globe, but to be a true somalia/american citizen you must be able to critize the Politics of your adopted nation and raise your voice whether you support or against the US in every issues no mater what,that is one of the few benefits you have being in the states, so you do not want to be follower but one who constantly aware of the world situations and local too. And yes do not jump to the conclusion that all somalis are against the US, or for that matter are for it, no one despise American Values, how can you do that,have no idea but u raised that issue so you might explain to us. I for one am happy for my stay in the states but did that mean i do not have to criticize it, no i will say anything that i feel inside me and be honest about it, rather than pretending. good luck for you quest on the truth you are searching no matter what.

Amazing, i think Aminaah said well, i have never met somalis who are older then 20's. for real just ask any somali women how old is she, you probably can guess before she answers 19-20 , so we are a nation of underaged.

Lander ,thanks for pointing out my youthfullness,but i know my conscience always wins. A candid remark holds a grain of truth, so next time i will be more daring. thanks

Lander ,bro i didn't see the brother mention about Djabouti, so why stop mingling the two sides.Let's solve one issue at a time, and time will tell the rest.

wonderfull Question, sis here is my take on this issue, it is always nice for Women to commit first, and here is my reason of saying that, If men commit before women , then it will very hard that marriage will become possible 90%of the time, but if women commit first , i can assure you the possibilities gets higher 50% chance of getting hitched, yes 50% so the point is women you should commit first before we do, ask me i have the backup to support it.

Who do you have to be married A Somali Women or Any other gender women? and Why?

psycho, ty i see it , she is lovely good luck to her

Sister, i wasn't trying to reply this topic ,but here is my take , you asked a very serious question and i shall give you a serious answer The only number that matter is 1+1=2 so don't worry about any other numbers 3-100 dosn't matter, if you are happy what you will receive go for it, if not just look the other way around and exprrience will help you.so good luck and by the way the person u are calling old, he has been there 18,19,20,21,22,etc so don't treat him like he skipped all these btfl yrs. good luck again

How long this place being running, i hope not a year and not having a chat room?

How about the slain former somali president' Dr Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke" May God Bless his soul.

is "Macawis" somali traditon clothes, i don't know, but all i am saying is the real somali cultural cloth ,like the two white sheets that you wrap around you know, yes i will wear those, and if macawis happens to be in our traditional clothes then , sister yes i will wear it in a heart beat. I say Somali Traditional Cloth'

wow those somali cutlural clothes are breath taking, i swear to God one thing i found out about this site , is much i miss back home and how much i love to see more of our cultural dresses, it is lovely and unique, plz post more of it, and i promise i keep coming back to see all of them, i think we need to start a room just simpy to be posted somali cultural dresses , so i ask here the moderates, it is time to create a special room for the somali cultural dresses, plz thank you, and those of you who have more plz send the pics for me to my email address i thank you all.

Deeqa sis,yes indeed i do remember how hard it is in Hight specially in the states and for that matter in canada, but i won't lie if i said i wasn't tempted, but it all came down to my older brothers and how they behaved, i followed the steps of the front Camed so i don't have to loose trac, but walla walaal if it had been the other way around , i might have been different today, so if you think that when you offspring kids and both you and your husband can't tame your kids, then it is the only way , move them out and let them feel the harsh reality of life, good luck sis for clarifying to me.

Ladies and gentlemen i simply call this topic Sydney, i have been in Aussie ,now for almost 3 months and counting , i never thought that i will love this city, Sydney very lovely place , but i am sorry i have to leave this place soon and head home late June, so to all of those borthers and sisters who live in Sydney enjoy , life out there is very outgoing and upbeat, very lovely, i am really thinking about moving there, inshallah, that is my take, tell me about ur experience in Sydney, if you have any idea what good places to see place post it and let me check it out, before i depart.
