Xaaji Xunjuf Posted March 24, 2013 Alpha why are you hating on the girl waryaa ka xishood inanta. Dr sada is a good lady i hope her all the best in her career. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Safferz Posted March 24, 2013 Alpha, how about answering some of my questions first, instead of responding with more questions? You haven't actually said anything here to defend your critique when a few of us have pressed you on it. You're the one who raised the example of the Elgin Marbles, why don't you explain why you did and what relevance that has to the discussion at hand (Sada Mire and the preservation of Somali material culture)?

I feel sad every time I see 90 something year old person passing away with all their experience, memories and knowledge. Truly depressing. Yes, indeed.

Chimera Posted March 24, 2013 Alpha's rants against any successful individual performing their talents in his neck of the woods reminds me of Little Britain's "I'm the only gay in the village" syndrome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpha, the University of Montpellier research project in Somaliland started way before Dr.Sada Mire graduated and started her work in Somaliland. What prove do you have?
