Mooge Posted February 15, 2013 Her speech starts at 23:30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted February 15, 2013 just finished watching her speech. couple of points to make. 1. she's made several major generalisations. chief among these, is that she's, on more than one occasion, subsumed all somalis as being war-torn areas and living in conditions of squalor. she is wrong about this. somalis have taken different trajectories in their attempts to establish peace and prosperity and as such careful considerations must all times be made to differentiate the realities on the ground. this idea of all Somalis and the Former Somalia being equated with South-Central Somalia as it once was, is again wrong. it seems like she has no idea of the factual situation. i'm not surprised by this laakin, as yet another academic makes empty statements of the populist kind, in the name of mashruuc'ising and indeed denigrating the collective will of all Somalis. also, why is she not acknowledging all the progress being made? what is the need to remain pessimistic? 2. she's right about the different interests of the West and other powers for the Former Somalia. for far too long, too many have meddled in our internal affairs. 3. she's also right about the solutions to these varying issues being resolved by Somalis and Somalis alone.

Waranle_Warrior Posted February 16, 2013 She was very boring, predictable and added nothing original to the table. It seemed, inay iska aheed aniga aan hadlo but the other was at least passionate and charismatic. Iyaduse was just... there are those people that you fell sleep when they speak.
