Can't even insert a picture after being here since 2002!

[Dhubad.]

^Is PDF you trying to insert there not a picture, perhaps why it didn't work?

[Alle-ubaahne]

Yes, Dhubad, its a PDF file and with images, but all in one, though. Can you help place it here, or in the political section?

[Dhubad.]

AU, brother I don't think you can add PDF files as image unless you convert them into image (i.e. Jpg, Gif, Bmp etc) file.

 

I can convert it for you if you send me the file(check your PM).

 

Good luck.

There are two types of conferences:

 

(a) bad conferences, where attendees plot against the aspirations of our people, and

(b) good conferences, where people come together for the sole purpose of bettering the condition of our country and people.

 

So, which one do you wish to end?

Awoowe, these are political, advocacy organizations, nothing to do with the sorts of non-profit organizations that you seem familiar or even tend to question their motives when they say we're there to improve the community. GBSC has being at work since Ethiopia occupied Somalia and now is gearing all its efforts to the advocacy and lobbying for the interests of the people both here and there.

 

Btw, good to see you, saaxiib. What do you do for the country, other than drawing on SOL?

Thank you, FB, but I ask you to spread out the word. This year's event will definately make major headlines in the news, IA. But the point is to accelerate the pace of the movement and increase the Somali presence in the corridors of policy makers. The great thing about this is it belongs to the young diaspora leaders who want to make a difference in the lives of our people in Somalia without dealing with the warlords. Demanding good policies by taking political actions can kill more warlords than you can imagine. So, join the movement, awoowe.

Good luck, AU.
