This reminds me of a very funny, at least to me, anecdote about a female MP from North Eastern Province. In 2007, Kibaki appointed her as an MP (to boost female numbers in parliament I believe) and as her term ended in March of this year she stood, this time, for election for her constituency (Ijara, longfoot territory); she had to campaign and rally the community to elect her.

 

So one day, she calls the elders to her house ( because they decide who wins or loses), for lunch and to request their support. As the elders finished their tea, the adan rung and they prepared for prayer.

 

They call her and ask her to lead them in prayers. Taken aback, she says women cannot lead men in prayers; their response: if you cannot lead us in prayers, how can you lead us politically.

 

Last I heard, she went to court to force a by-election but was not successful.

 

Ps: I'm sure there are different versions of the story but the core of it is accurate.

I just voted for Safferz, and I urge you to do the same.

This is sooo rigged!

Alpha, still has another 42 days to campaign for himself.

Haatu and Jacpher will split the Islamist vote.

Making things easier for the secularist camp. Tragic.

 

Maybe NY did this on purpose? He always had a dislike for me.

My vote goes to Apophis.

They're like a hand and its glove. They go together perfectly. Don't let the liberals deceive you into thinking political Islam (my version) is dangerous.

[Haatu]

How are these people voting for Apo when he's not even on the list?

^ abti,

 

this is not a debating contest. there are more pertinent issues at stake.

 

at 7PM Hargeisa time, i will launch my official candidacy for this year's Nomad of the Year.

You must come to terms with the fact that despite your efforts to buy votes and influence SOLers by opening libraries and museums in Hargeisa, you are now in the political wilderness:p Don't waste your time mate, vote for Saff.

Who said it isn't? That's where you go when; You first wake up (Fajr). Before you sleep (Ishaa), You get married. Settle disputes. You get divorced. You have problems. You have solutions. You want your kids to become better human beings. The list goes on....

The poll doesn't show up on SOL's mobile site, so that may be it. Although not reading is still a possibility, I've seen plenty of people participate in threads here without actually reading the original post and discussion, so who knows.
