burahadeer Posted July 7, 2012 Mogadishu people must neva again leave the command of the army to president or anyone in executive branch.The governor who should be from locals must have the last word & the ultimate decision on the forces in the capital...that way he can save guard his constituency.Look how somaliland and puntland have their own.You should not be tricked to lose your divine rights cos you'r the capital. Federal forces can stay in remote regions & away from capital so could not be used againest you. *** you aware that every region has its own militia? *Mogadishu is somali =Muuq disho(means image killer).how it came about was when the proud nomads come to the city & told by white skinned people that they can not go certain area or humiliated. history repeats itself...guess not coincidence how it destroyed somali image last 20yrs( have nothing againest victims ,just high-lighting the place itself).

Somali philosopher Posted July 7, 2012 ^burahadeer there are a lot of places that would sacrifice many things for the capital status. and where did you get muuq disho. muqdisho is either Maq'ad-i-Shah ("The seat of the Shah"} persian or as the other one the governor explained in the video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wikipedia seems to disagree with you :The name Mogadishu is held to be derived from the Persian مقعد شاه Maq'ad-i-Shah ("The seat of the Shah"), a reflection of the city's early Persian influence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogadishu#cite_note-Laitin-10 Reference: David D.

burahadeer Posted July 7, 2012 ^^^ ye could be even thou lot false information out flanked truth in history..or maybe somalis didn't like the real meaning:D Somali philosopher;848968 wrote: ^burahadeer there are a lot of places that would sacrifice many things for the capital status. and where did you get muuq disho. muqdisho is either Maq'ad-i-Shah ("The seat of the Shah"} persian or as the other one the governor explained in the video know many will sacrifice for status but that doesn't mean locals should be walked ova.People suffered cos everyone was fighting for the capital & what comes with it disregarding the destruction and the human tragedy...what am emphasizing here is they have as much right as otha regions to look after their interest in light of the fact that many in high echelons of power were outside the city & seem not to care & instigators of much that happened. muqdisho=muuqdisho muqdisho=maqad i shah which one of the above is closer to truth...I was actually told that by elderly man.

RaMpAgE Posted July 7, 2012 No one knows the true meaning of the word ""Mogadishu", theirs no histroical documentation of the meaning of the word. The term "Seat of the Shah" as Mogadishu was one created by colonial powers because they believed that Africans couldn't build cities rather it was outsiders, and many so called acadamics both Somali and Non somali ran away with the word.

Somali philosopher Posted July 7, 2012 ^^True but Mogadishu is a thousand year old city. The name existed way before Europeans came. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted July 7, 2012 Persepolis, ancient Persia's greatest city is a Greek name, it doesn't mean the Greeks build it. Mogadishu is a 1200 year old city, with foundations dating back another 500 years as Sarapion. The native name was always Xamar because of the red-soil of the city, like the Tamarind fruit. The only way we can destroy this argument once and for all is to dig up our ancient Pre-Islamic cities and towns, that should silence these cultural appropriators.

Alpha Blondy Posted July 7, 2012 'saldhiga of the shah' how interesting that this hell-hole was once a colony of the persians. i'm sorry but no amount of suave advertising and cutting edge technology can project this uninhabitable, slum and shanty town as a tourist attraction.
