Somalicentric. Posted October 13, 2010 I have a new obsession with this country Mali, everything about it is riveting. My obsession started when I came across this movie and I literally had Goosebumps. There aren't a lot of West African countries that intrigue me to the point of complete fixation, but this is truly an exception Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted October 13, 2010 Timbuktu is in Mali, and the famed city of knowledge. Mali, what a country! The land of Mansa Musa and his illustrious ancestor Sundiata Keita founder of the Mali Empire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abwaan Posted October 13, 2010 I can't see the pictures you posted right now Somalicentric, but I will hopefully see them later. Males is an amazing country. Never been there but I will one day insha Allaah. I love their music specially the Famous Ali Farka Toure and Oumou Sangare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB Posted October 14, 2010 Allah yaa ku geeya aad soo aragtide oo markuu habaas indhaha ku tiro ayaad soo carari laheyd! Bamako is the ONLY city I've been to where there were more goats than humans...believe me, the whole place seemed full of goats...everywhere I looked there were hundreds or even thousands of them...maybe because Eid Al-Adha was a month or so away when I visited the place...I can't think of any other excuse. Polanyi...gabdhahooda waa la gudaa oo kan Soomalidaa million times la qaatay...iyagu waxoodu waa mutilation iyo nus....I'm just saying...hadhoow Refund la iska yeeli maayo ee taas niyada ku haay.

Qandalawi Posted October 15, 2010 I am also a fan of the coutry. Beautiful people, vibrant culture and very strong Islamic country. Timbuktu is a city I love to visit, hope will go there one day Insha'alah. In the North they have the nomadic Tuareg people who look exactly like the Somalis. Only today I was watching Aljazeera's witness program about Mali - Family Code: Its about government of Mali's proposal of men/women equality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted October 15, 2010 Originally posted by Qandali: very strong Islamic country. Ar hadalkaas maad ka fiirsatid intay goor-goor tahay? You'd be disappointed...that much I know...Yes waa dad fiican laakiin diin waxba kama yaqaanaan...xittaa kuwooda tukanaya ee masaajidka aad ku arkeysid siday doonaan bay isaga tukadaan....in West Africa they practice different kind of Islam, one we've never seen or heard before and that's me being utterly polite. You should've seen Senegal, Guinea (Conakry), Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Nigeria then you might understand where I'm coming from. in Ghana I've met a man who had a Christian wife and 5 kids, out of the five ONLY one was a Muslim by name and when I asked the father why is that, he just shrugged and said, they love their mother more....as casual as that. Meesha West Africa la yiraahdo waa meel u baahan in diinta dib loo gaarsiiyaa oo la baraa from A-Z sababtoo ah dadkaan soo arkay waxey u badnaayeen dad diinta Islaamka ku dhex wada waxaanan loo kala garaneyn caadadii awoowyaashood iyo mid ay meelahaa dhexe kala yimaadeen.

Malika Posted October 15, 2010 ^Indeed,Allah knows best..teeni laa isku gawraceeyaa maa Islami sax miya? Anyways, Allah knows best. Mali was at one point the hub of Islamic learning/education - who is to blame - ofcourse the colonialists..heh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted October 15, 2010 You'e right Malika, Timbuktu was the Islamic learning centre in the entire sub-saharan Africa then the French came and slowly but surely they corrupted the natives with booze, pork and fornication. in Senegal you'd hear the names of Amedou Bamba, Malick Sy and Ibrahima Fall more than you'd hear of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)...Shocking.
