Alpha Blondy Posted June 30, 2011 i'm not planning to do anything. i mean, why should I? as far as i'm concerned there are 364 days which are more important. but those who see this day as significant, all the best with the celebration. its a shame it fallen on a friday, because its a public holiday here and i bet some people are happy.

Axmed-InaJaad Posted July 1, 2011 stop bombarding us with ur kowda luulyo crap, instead of celebrating, why dont u do something for your konfurian country? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 1, 2011 Whether its 26 June or 1 'Luulyo', the irony of these terms is lost on Somalis :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

x-madiino Posted July 1, 2011 its just unfortunate that we can't celebrate in our own country at this moment,... what we need to know is that during the past two decades of civil war in somalia, the somalis inside somalia don't have time to celebrate or even think what should we do to celebrate this coming 1st July or something since they are in deep trouble and trying to survive but in the other way those somalis living abroad or immigrated to western countries celebrate 1st july or any other national days of somalis. when i was in xamar i never think too much about 1st July and the people around as well, we had other things that matters to us and to our community... anyway, happy so called Independence day to all ya somalis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is about those before us who fought for a return to independence & freedom. I agree. Have a nice day, my Somali brothers and sisters! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted July 1, 2011 Well said Lily. It's all about what Somali were and the achievements of the great men and women who made the 26th of June and 1st July possible should never be forgotten. Personally, looking at images and videos from that era always fills me with a sense of pride and longing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
