Ehem ehem , It seems to me some people here still can’t believe my Adero is finally the president. They seem to dig every article that contains his name just to convince themselves that is he really the president!

 

I think you need someone to pinch you to let you know you are not dreaming !

 

By the way This is a good place for the president to start begging on behalf of Somali people.

Naayaa OG, that was way too harsh. Maybe he's trying to convince some others on this forum who are in denial...

[Blessed]

Misusing tragedies again.... :rolleyes:

I only see countries and their representatives......is there more to it?

[NGONGE]

Heh. Nationalist, I’ve got to admire your doggedness and single-mindedness, saaxib. If only you would put all that effort and energy into something useful for us all..if only...

You are right, there is nothing wrong with this thread or what it conveyed. However, there are assumptions, presumptions and afterthoughts people took for as a subtle underlining message in the post.

 

Earlier in this week, it was reported, C/laahi Yuusuf and his entourage wanted to go to Masar, they were rebuffed, allegedly, by Xusni Mubaarak. He instead re-routed his plane to Sacuudiya. His detractors jeered. Now, he is going to Qaahiro, his supporters are cheering, even if it was under the pretext of tacsi.

 

It is just a little silly Soomaali politics.

 

*Note: This analyzing involves purely assuming the presumptions.

I searched the net for Arafat and his relationship with the Somali people. I found a good picture. I am possitive there are many other pictures out there, but this is the only one I found.

 

May Allah grant him Jannah for his jihad.

 

PRESIDENT ABDIQASIM and ARAFAT

 

As for Nationalist's post, I think the nomads are reading too much into his little list.

Gediid,

 

Exactly what i was thinking :eek: , although i'm sure the brother was joking , i don't know if such comments come into jokes (or so i've been told :confused: - according to Somali dhaqan).

[Nationalist]

Some people never cease to amaze me. I'll provide a list of the different species of apes, let's analyze my political agenda then.

It should be interesting, I reckon.

Joke Not in my dhaqan and for that matter in any Somali dhaqan
