Interesting, I wonder how it has fared so far. Banning/suppressing female circumcision has a long history in Kenya and it has always had the effect of intensifying the practice. I think the only effective route is to educate people about the problems, rather than make them defensive and feel their cultures are under attack by the government.

So this is the song my af-xabashi class will be dancing to. My eskesta is pretty good! I just don't want to do it in front of an audience

It's on the decrease. People are more aware nowadays especially the ladies who were the supporters of this practice in this past. It should have died out by my kids' generation inshallah. Nothing to get alarmed over.

Wish we could say the same about Somalia and Ethiopia.

Al's Friday advice -doing 15 reps cos my opponent did 10. success is not dependent on copying others but surpassing your own targets.

are you going to do this to your daughters?

 

Shiekh Dirir preaches about Somali minorities folks being discriminated against in marriage. but.....apparently, the story goes..... he was once asked to marry one such daughter and he refused. lakinse not entirely sure of the story's reliability.

 

denigrating a tradition will meet with resistance. the few loose canon feminists, who scream and shout about this practice, and other sorts of ''backward'' traditions are pathetic. a toxic mix of human rights mantras, particularly ''a woman's right to her body'' and other such methods are bound to fail. it embarrassing and highly insulting to our culture. the need to change must come from us. we'll need to do an internal appraisal of this practice and decide.

Al, did you know this:

 

1 = neef

1/2 = bar/badh

1/4 = waax

1/8 = fallaadh

1/16 = rimic

1/32 = miil

 

Did you know those jajab (fractions) above have their own names in Somali? No need to say sideediiba hal, just say fallaadh

[Alpha Blondy]

Abbaas has been given a new name. he now goes by the name Maqane. how come the ADMIN and the MODs allowed him to have his name changed?

 

this is not fair, maha? i want to change my name, too. i could do with a new change of personality. for years now, the name Alpha Blondy has tainted my character, you know. Alpha = incredible ability...Blondy = foolish acts. you can't be talented and be foolish at the same time, dee. it's an oxymoron.

I hate having a good hair day and no plans to go out. My original plan tonight was to stay in and read/catch up on work, but because my hair looks great and I can't waste a good hair day like that, I shall go out.
