Thanks, thats interesting Malika. So she is from Mali our lost twin tribe? @Juxa, that was good read indeed! an exciting description of the girls and their surroundings. I had to go back and see the picture and made sense! but how about the moods/body languages of other girls siting with the bride? would love know that...

Originally posted by Malika: Allamagan,does the sharibaha indicate she is a savage? lol yes to some extent! her fish-tail like tattoo on her cheeks scares me off. But she got beautiful and striking eyes though.

Thanks Urban, but how come Mandela is not there!

This Muriidi script is not doing what it was intended to do here instead it entered in a state of loop and definitely needs reprogramming.

Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: The author of this thread is making the wild assumption that any other government would not have let the World Bank or the Arab League build a road or renovate an existing port as is the case on the list above. This is comedy at its best. No, it isn't comedy but true reality! and I dont agree with you sxb, it all depends who reads it and what he makes out of it. I am sure if these projects were instead implemented in Gedo and Galgaduud regions of his, then there would have been different tone by you by saying things like hantidi qaranka ayuu gobaladiisi ku dhistay iwm am I not right? The fact of the matter is awoowe that these projects were developed in these regions under the guidance and of course by the blessings of Aabo Siyaad regardless of who funded. So stop twisting history and be grateful!

^lol, an orbital space station, right? as they say what goes up must come down..... waanu sugayna kolki ay soo degto

^looool, Zack, I think it question of allegiance! like we have arabic/muslim names, but you right there are somali names that can be shared...

^ I have a relative of mine (muslin tho) whose mum is christian and is from reer Micheal Mariano. Most of this family members reverted back to Islam I was told. I think Edna is from this family ...not sure though!

^In terms of developments, yes, I agree, this region is way better off than the past, however, what I dont agree with you is that when you said that you forgot the past and moved on, in fact in that context you still stuck in the past and did not even move about an inch! remember because of the past was/is your core reasoning behind as to why you guys want to secede, right?

Funny story as this reminds me of the story about the blind man whose 4 wives angrily confronted him asking him to pick now the one he loves most in front of them. The blind man didnt know what to do so after careful thinking of the situation he told to his wives "to calm down first and if you want to know that person I love most, no problem I can tell you, come here and line up here in front of me and face the other way. The one I touch is the one I love most" They all agreed and lined up and the wise old man touched all of them and said: "Well, by now you know yourself! so dont share this with anyone else as it is confidential between me and you...ila soco heedhe.." Now the americans are touching each and every one of them...lol isnt it Qawda maqashii waxna ha u qaban sheekadu?

^Ma dear friend Redsea, honestly speaking if people's mind frozen long ago and if people need to move on then it is certainly you people (the secessionists) who need to move on and stop moaning about sidaana berri innala yeelay iwm therefore waanu goosanay.

Thanks NinaNC, was very interesting debate indeed!

^ Should we dig down SOL archives! naga da ninyo ka soco Originally posted by Hales: quote: The former Ethiopian ruler Mengistu Haile Mariam, who was President Mohamed Siad's contempary, committed hideous atrocities and genocide, yet after his disposal, Ethiopia, a nation with a population exceeding 70 million people and more than 70 ethnic-groups managed to reconcile after his departure. The reason being? Because the Ethiopian coup was justified as Mengistu Haile Mariam was someone that was r ightfully despised by all Ethiopians collectively for his human-right injustices . This is true and the repurcusions of the division we had made it worse. Was it not Jaale Siyaads policies and actions that divided the nation? ^In short, no, he was not to blame for everything! instead you should blame it all on those evil prematured coup d'éta masters. While the great leader was fighting against enemy and conquering far away lands they ahlu coup d'éta were stabbing the nation at the back in the most critical moment of its entire history when the whole nation needed its final push towards setting seal on its victory and reclaiming Western Somalia back. They opened up pandora's box of all domestic problems. Hence the start of destruction and the birth of all those clan-affiliated SS-affixed names like SSDF, SNM, USC, USD, SNF, SPM SLU .......S-this S-that. So reread the history and this time be open-minded.

FYI, Siad Barre didnt put up a proper fight with the USC militia captured Mogadishu. To avoid a bloodshed & destruction he chosen to call it a day and go to his ancestral birth place, Gedo.

I am sure you would have loved the fledgling democracy we had (before 1969) even better. Qoloba qolay dhaantey. Alloow alle, aduuno ba'! you keep on writing about this "fledgling democracy" we had. Did we ever have a true democracy or family appointments? have we had an election all over the republic? the answer is NO, then STOP saying all the time that we had democracy in Somalia. Everybody knows those selv-appointed karaaniyaashi and interpreters of talyaanigii in 60's who somehow majority of them hail from one clan and specifically one sub-clan, you know who I am talking about, right? It was these selfish Karaaniyaasha and their remnants conspirators who helped our arch enemy and undermined the confidence of our armed forces. It was because of their misplaced perception and their ignorance that we lost the war we already won. JIGJIGA 1977: This is when Siyad's army overran Ethiopians.
