NGONGE Posted May 17, 2004 My back hurts, my legs hurt, my ears hurt and even my smallest toe hurts. What the hell forced me to go to such a party at my old age? I’ve got to admit that it was well organised - well, as much as you can expect from a party with Somalis in it! But, I’m getting real old for such things. I had little boys and little girls running through my legs all night. Now I know I’m a very good looking and attractive man but I’ve been off the market for a long time, I forgot why I decided to avoid these type of parties in the first place. The section I was standing on was so slippery, girls were falling head over heals every time they looked at me. My great aura didn’t have anything to do with it either; it was the drool of all the other girls before them what did it. The little boys felt threatened and kept looking up to catch my eye and provoke me into some sort of argument or fight, just to prove to the girls that they can keep up with me! One little rascal even dared to call me ADEER! :eek: It was a good night (not one I would repeat in a hurry). All the men and women had a very good time and came out of that place smiling. I’m glad I played a small part in making those smiles bigger (See? A bit of modesty for all you twitchy people out there). :cool: I’m not an arrogant person at all, man. When people look up at me, I get down on my knees and look them straight in the eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AYOUB Posted May 20, 2004 Somaliland Celebrates Independence Day Posted by Yvette Lopez The streets are busy as we drive around Hargeisa at around 8:30am, people walking seemingly towards one direction, the khayria (public square) where the celebration of Somaliland’s 13th Independence Day is being held. The main street is full of people; women with their homemade placards hold them with pride, men and women in Somaliland’s national costume walk gallantly with their friends who like them want to be counted on this special day. We park in a side street and start walking towards the square when approximately 7 military trucks and police escorts hurriedly pass through the pool of people. We realized we just missed the President. The celebration is over. The people remain even after the President's exit, seemingly not content with the morning ceremonies. Some tried to create trouble, they didn’t escape, because the people themselves brought them to the police station. Besides, with the seeming endless arrival of truckloads of police to the site how can you escape? It is not surprising that there’s no military march this year, former President Egal reportedly stopped the parade of uniformed men during Independence Day celebrations since 2001 because it only reminds the people of the military dictatorship which the Somaliland people fought against. The program was definitely short. The amount of Somalilanders that gather in the streets just couldn’t get enough they just need to celebrate! Why the thirst to celebrate? It’s been 13 yeas since the sheer belled (clan conference) held in Burao declared independence from the Republic of Somalia. The clan elders and the people of Somaliland have raised this nation from the rubbles of destruction brought by war, they have formed a government currently learning the ropes of democratic governance, they pursued and succeeded in conducting 2 democratic and peaceful elections in the midst of doubtful eyes of countries that refuse to recognize them. They have rebuilt houses, school buildings, hospitals and other infrastructures destroyed during the bombing of Hargeisa, they did the same in Burao, revived educational institutions in Borama where Amoud University now stands. They have revitalized the international airport that ushered in airlines going in and out of the country leaving Somaliland more accessible to both local and foreign people. Somalilanders from diaspora continue to come back and invest in businesses strengthening telecommunications, import/export trade, and construction industry; recently they have initiated building private villages to provide affordable housing to the public. The world may know about the atrocities committed to the people of this nation by Siad Barre’s military regime. The world may know about the inter-clan skirmishes that brought them to kill one another during the years of civil war. It’s about time that the world should also know that day-by-day the country struggles to keep itself together, to live in a peaceful and an independent Somaliland. Posted by Yvette Lopez President Riyaale's Independence Day Speech Somaliland web posted an English summary of President Dahir Riyale Kahin's speech during the country's Independence Day celebration. May 18, 2004 5:03pm Asia Intelligence Wire Somaliland President Dahir Riyale Kahin today addressed thousands of Somalilanders on the occasion marking the 13th anniversary of Somaliland reclamation of its independence and secession from Somalia. The occasion was marked today at Hargeysa's Khayriyah Square. In his speech, President Riyale emphasized the current situation in the country and both the internal and external policies of Somaliland. President Dahir Riyale Kahin also explained Somaliland's progress and performance. He said the international community had described the progress of Somaliland as sterling and commendable. In his speech, the president also said the development strides made by Somaliland has made its enemies envious and to harbour a grudge against it. He said the enemies of Somaliland had attempted to damage the sovereignty and the existence of the country. President Kahin further said the recent killings of [foreign] aid workers in Boorama, Sheekh and Hargeysa towns were enough proof and evidence of sabotage. President Dahir said there were two main reasons behind such actions which he described as dangerous. Firstly, he said, it was to fight foreign aid workers in Somaliland with a view to creating panic and convincing the international community that there were terrorists in Somaliland. Secondly, he said, it was to frighten and stop foreign investors from investing in Somaliland. President Dahir Riyale Kahin today sent an appreciation and congratulatory messages to the residents of Doqoshay village, which is situated on Hargeysa-Berbera road, where some of the bandits who committed the terrorist acts were recently arrested. The bandits killed a Kenyan woman who was working for an aid agency there, the president said. On his recent visit to Britain, Belgium and Ethiopia, President Dahir said the Somaliland delegation met British parliamentary officials and explained to them Somaliland's cause. He said their visit to these countries was a historical one aimed at realizing the recognition of Somaliland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted May 24, 2004 Well it was a very enjoyable night, maily for the fact that many a freind/family whom i havnt had the pleasure of seeing for a while were present. A bunch of Burcawis having a good time. Nasir Cunjuf wasnt bad aswell. But the place was hot, sweating on a warm Sunday evening is not my cup of tea. My feet and back were killing me at the end, then i had to drive all the way to east, got stopped by the Police for taking a 'no right turn' but luckily they let me off when i started to work the old charm ( i aint familiar with this area officer )then got to work for 8am the next morning. Thats what i call dedication,,,,,,unlike some who got into work at times like 2pm (AL),,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
