it'll not take his time.
People don't need past memories when the place is burning right now. Dabka ha la bakhtiiyo first then you can go back to memories anytime.
Duulaaye, as we are aware of the current situation of Xamar, there is nothing wrong with reminiscing of what Xamar Cadeey used to be...Teeda kale, not everyone's memories of Xamar are painful ones such as adiga waxaa ka xasuusato... ;)
Anyone who was born/raised in Xamar and seen its beauty pre-war will attest ineysan meel la mid ah aduunka jirin...Xamar ama ha burburto, ama ha gubato, ama ha duusho, beautiful memories is what we have dear...And insha'allah the day will come when we can create more beautiful memories...
The only thing I remember from xamar is going to dugsi and getting a beating from the macalin, and then afterwards running away from the civil war. The place is cursed and a perpetual hellhole.
Qalbi adeygnimada naga daa hee...If you were old enough to go to dugsi, I am sure you were old enough inaa garaangar wadid...Waligaa garaangar ma waday, ama passing truck/car maku daaba dhagtay? :D
^ I wasn't old enough(3 and a half) to go to dugsi, but i went for a few weeks, I quit dugisi after the macalin whacked me with a stick a few too many times.
I do remember a small monkey that used to visit our house, might've been a squirrel monkey, apparently there were a lot of them in xamar. Before 1990, xamar was a great place.
I've some really fond memories of Xamar - my neighbourhood, my family, my friends, my school, but mostly my fondest memories seem to be of eateries.
Like the burger joint near the Egyptian school and the little self-service supermarket on the main road (can't remember the name) to Nambar Afar, the restaurant in Afgoye with the little huts...the new posh hotels that were built just before the war.
There was also a fantastic restaurant somewhere between Medina and Booli Qaran that used to do the best steaks (my mum and I used to pick up dinner there once a week).
Not to mention the fish market near the oldest part of Xamar (the whitewashed hilly neighbourhood by the ocean - don't remember the name).
My dad used to take us out for dinner quite often and he also used to drive us around the city and take us to the beach on the weekends.
I agree with KK - I think Xamar has a big place in the heart of anyone who was born or grew up there.
Val, If i try to remember some of the places you have mentioned mmm the burger place near Egyptian school was called Aaran burgers. Restaurant near Afgoye was called Xaraf, there are couple of mini markets that I can remember one near KM5 which is not that far from number afar (KM4), and another one which was close to number afar as well but was not on the main road Kolac family mini market kooda. Suuqa malaayga xamar weyne gadaashiisa ah. Don't know about that restaurant near boliqaran.
Gheelle, that's a pretty good memory you have! We lived near Medina, in the suburb of Xoosh...so the mini market was the closest one on the way to town. The unknown restaurant was also on the same stretch of road from Medina if I remember correctly.
Do you also remember a new zoo built in that same area not long before the war? Although they didn't have that many wildlife there.
^I used to love Aaran, way better burgers than Fiyaat's (?). I went to that Egyptian school and we'd go there for lunch every day.
I don't like to think about Xamar anymore though.
Val I still have good memory of most of places I used to go(by) wlhi. I remember the new Zoo, it was actually right next to Xoosh's compound and new Hotel. Can't remember what that Hotel was called though. I will get back and write some of the things in the good old days.
Ahhhh! I have a lot of fond memories of Xamar that if I wrote it all, I would have to find me a publisher. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Ayways, here's one: Yaaweli, the video store. Omar Yaweli muxuu cartoni animati, totoo iyo bujis baanjar :D igu soo guri jiray.
Aniga iyo Valenteena iyo Haneefa isku fil baan nahay. :D meeqa cunug baa idiin joogta. :D

^ I've actually got two!
Haneefah, I went to the Egyptian school as well.
Gheelle, I look forward to reading it.
Ducaysane, yes, I did always get the distinct impression that you were a teenager. :D
Although i've never been to xamar, I heard great things about it's beauty. However, anaga owrney meesha. We also didn't realise somalia wasn't only xamar, when one of the most beautiful natural landscapes were/are in sanaag region, so in that respect we took the rest of somalia for granted.
Unfortunately no. But I always hear my older sibling talk about the food,shopping,beaches & shaleemo goings. Kind of makes me go aah...if only it remained as peaceful & prosperous as it was.
Aaaah, let's see what do I remember about Xamar Cadeey:
**I remember how they used to sit us down in a big circle at school on lunch time to sing and dance (iikaalay, iikaalay, oo aniga ii kaalay, kashka laabta igusoo qaboo oo aniga ii kaalay - just one of the songs we used to sing)...
**I remember getting up early every Friday morning helping my sisters do the laundry or clean the house so we can go to baar Afgooye/Xaraf for qado...Then going to the beach - Abaay Dhaxan was my fav...
**Going to burger joints at night time, where cars are parked outside with people still in them being served in their cars...Meesha dhan mugdi with only the clear sky - gazing at the stars and the moon (very romantic - too bad I was too damn young to enjoy it :mad: )...
**I remember having bajiyo iyo basbaas or bataati iyo basbaas after school/dugsi...Everyone dipping their little fingers in the basbaas (clean/dirty/long nails didn't matter) - GERMS WHO?
**Oooh I remember jalaato TibToob...Where afterward we used the qori for dugsiga si aan quraanka looxa ugu qorono... :D
**I remember going to the video store and asking the guy 'filin cusub oo coleejo coleejo eh isii', watching Indian movies anagoo hal kalmad hindi aqoon - Yaawali and Kitoosh (I wonder if they are still alive - gosh mexey movie noo duubeen)...
**I remember Aaran, Fiyaat, Kabuuti, Sunday Supermarket, Baar Afgooye, Xaraf, Hoteel Taleex, Carawada (alla maxaa jalaato la iiga dafay), Tiyaatarka (my first and last rubaayad - Shan Uyar Ha'ii Sheegin - what a memorable night), Boorow (we used to purchase back to school books and kool pens at that store)...
**I remember going to makiinada cajiinta with gabdhaha guriga kashaqeeyo...Maxaa meesha shukaansi iyo is jiijiid ka dhici jiray...
**School Yaasiin Cismaan!!!!!!!! O'Lord, the best years of my life...Xassan Tiritoor, later replaced by Saciido Koofi...Teachers: Macalin Aamino - Gosh mexey caanabaraawe and qumbe naga gaday; Macalin Akiile (mean a$$ macalin, fooridiisa markaa jiirada ka maqalno inla'isku kaadiyo wax yar aanooga dhimanaan jirtay); Macalin Xiito (thnx to him, I am good at math now); Macalin Tiito (Alful Layl Waleyl uunooga sheekeyn jiray, mind you he was there to teach xisaab); Macalin Xeynuuq (he was like the youngest teacher, waxaa u maleysaa inuu xaflad usocdo suu isu soo labisi jiray, no wonder inee dhoocila ku wada daateen); **yaakale toloow**, aah Macalin Cali Dheere, Nuurkeey...
**I remember taalada in lagu dagaal tami jiray after school...Schoolka dhexdiisa la isugu dhaaranaa, then after school it was on @taalada...I also remember in at the end of the year dad badan dagaal isbalansan jireen as well... :confused:
Ar bas, inaa jilboodo wax yar aa iiga dhiman... :D Minaa walax kale xasuusto waasoo noqohaa I'A...
Aroortii kac, canjeero kulul isku duub duubo, saliid macsaro iyo sokor ku dhex duubo. Cun. Iskool isku diyaari. Aad iskool. Bareeka bur iyo sambuus cun.
Iskoolka kasoo noqo around lix saac [12 pm], qadee, bacdina hurdo nap dig la dheh. Galabtii qoraxda qabowdo lasoo kacaayo, banaanka aad, ciyaal banooni la ciyaar, meel walba ka dhac. Qoraxda ha dhacdo salaadda aadaanka maqlee, masaajid gal, dalaq. Salaad maqrib soo tukada dhamaantiin ciyaalkiina. Kasoo bax, jardiino hala fadhiisto, sheeko. Sheeko sheeko ma laga caajisay, kadhimeey kadhim haloo jeesto. Sidii loo bood boodaay ama loo ordaayo daal hoo, hal hal guriga haloo aado. Adoo jiif isku celin karin hooyo casho ha kugu qasabto.
Haddaa galablee kuwa iskoolka aadaayo tahayna, markaa iskoolka kasoo baxdid iskoolka hortiisa bajiye basbaas lagu daaranaayo ka gado islaamaha iskoolka horfadhin jiray. Guriga soo aad, dharka iska badal, banaanka horey ka aad, samee waxaa kor ku qoray camal.
Jimco waaye. Iskool ma jiro. Imbili ciyaar, warbac ku xir. Jar duqeyd ciyaar, ku xir xir. Suuqa aada, islaamaha caanaha gadaayo caano dhadhamis ugu dhameeya oo caloosha buuxsada, kuwii galeyda iyo masagada gadaaye a roundful of fist hal hal ugu soo shubta jeebka to feed the pet pigeons [qooleey] later at home.
Duhur waaye already la gaaray, salaad Jimcaha aad. After salaadda laga imaaday oo lasoo jimceystay, Jalaato Jaangoow oo banaanka lagu gadaayo arkee, hal hal u gata, meel geed talaal hoostiisa ku neefsada. Kistoo ka bacdi qado u aada guriga, guriga reerka iskugu imaanaayo lagu wada sheekeysanaa, kii seexanaayana nap fiesta ha qaato. Galabtii la gaaray, meel barxad banooni u aad, ciyaalka wada cubtama [cub iyo cir], lasoo baashaal ciyaal xaafadda.
Banooniga ka bacdi maqribkii marka la gaaro haddaa ciyaalka waa weyn xaafadda ku jirtid dharka iska badal, qabeyso, dhar isku taag cusub. Shaneemo isku diyaari. Kaasmaayo, bajaq iyo cismaan wixii ahaa shaneemooyinka ku shukaanso. Lasoo bood bood, luuq luuq la gal, filin u jil.
Haddaa ciyaal yaryarka tahayna after banooni aad makiinadda cajiinka xaafadda, oo abkeey gabdho yar yar dhan cajiin shiid u imaan jiray oo reerahooda soo dirsan jiray. Faduuli gabdhaha yar yar, isku xooq xooq ama isku tuur tuur waxaa isku xooqi kartid. "Waryaa!" markee ku dhahadana, waa haddeeba dhahdo, raali ahoow waala isoo riixay dheh meesha cariiri waayee. :D
Kuwa sii waa weynaa xaafadda haddaa tahayna shaqaalaha ee magaalada hoose shaxaad ama shaqo u aad, Fija'eejito, Dahablaha, Bacaadlaha, Ceelgaab soo wada mar. Galabtiina isbartiibada aada, Horseed v. Waxool ciyaaraayo usoo cheer garee kooxdaada. And in the evening tiyaatarka aad, ruwaayadda cusub soo baxday kusoo dhufo, Shaneemo Xamar gal.
In the meantime, ka dharag waxaa ka dhargi kartid, ciyaar ama cunto fresh ha ahaatee. Ciyaar oo cuna: Kushineeto, mircood, bugle, taraq, laadhuu, isbaandheys, fiimto qaboob, koob isbarmuuto weyn baraf ka buuxo, dublad, garaangar, boojo, baliil, jar...
Wada ciyaar waxaa ciyaari kartid, waxaa cuni kartidna cun. There never was a thing called boredom. Never.
O' Xamar. Yaa ku iloowi karo Xamar Caddeey, xudundeyda ku duuganee.
^Oo fiiri goormaa homework sameyn jirtay? Xamar meel ciyaar kaliya ah aaba ka dhigtee...
Some of the games we (girls) used to play: gariir, halugeeti, nacash, kuukuun, dhuudhuumashoow, kabta dacaska gadaashaa la dhigaayo haduu qofka kugu soo noqdo bacda lagaa suraa, shaanus, iskaalo, iskorsaar, duq siib, daaba ka'eri (kuwa qatar eh lee dheeli jiray)...

Val, we may have been classmates. I remember a cute girl who'd always wear her hair in a ponytail; strangely enough, I don't remember how I wore my own hear :D
Lol@duceysane. Hal baa ii jooga and another is on the way.
KK, I have this hunch that you were one sharp bully. Like the girls who scared the heck outa me on my 1st day in a SOmali school; I remember running to mom and dad on that day and screaming "these kids are scary - they say bad words!I don't want to go back there!" and immediately, I was switched to the Carabi school :D Seriously though, even the so called macalimada baa ciyaalka aflagaadeyneysay with words that I had never been exposed to previously, what a system :rolleyes:

lol, this must be the millionth thread concerning Muqdisho nostalgia.
Xamar Kismayo oo kale ay noqotay: qof walba waa reer xamar beryahan!
Xattaa barafasoorka Geella, xamar uu sheeganayyaa :D .
^^^ haye Xiinoos, Cayaal Waaberi via Liberia maa aaheyd adna :D
^^If you take via Liberia dhank Afisyooni, you will see Castro's fromer residence :D .
Mayya saaxiib, in my early years we were in Baar-bakiin, suuqa miijiska zone. From my middle school onward, I lived not far from the area good Val described.
lol, my connection to MOG doesn't go beyong the SOL politics section. England is my home. :D
^^that was a joke by the way. Basabor keyga wax ku qoran Muqdisho. ;)
Xiinow, you can easily distinguished Xamari iyo xamar sheegtooyaal(pre-war vs. post war Xamar) Haddii maqashid qof xaafada ku dhahaayo Barmuda, Black sea, Bosnia, Gubta, Birta dheer, Carafaat, etc kaas kac aa dhahee. Makhaayad aa xaafad laga dhigey iyo bir meel ku taal. Laakiin, markaa maqashid ciyaar quarto, geedka jaceylka, via liberia, via Roma, luujino, stadium konis, ciyaal bilaajo, jiiro norway, fiat..ma dhameen kare camu ...kaas xamar iyo nus waaye..
Adiga hadda Kismaayo aaba kugu ogayne shimee Miijiska iyo booli/buulo qaran imaaday. :D :D
Yep too many feel good stories on Xamar. Did no one witness any ominous signs, people disapperaing, killings nada? The country was operating in a climate of fear and intimidation the last few years before collapse.
Personally - I find the qax stories more interesting - all the stuff people had to survive and go through.
Waraa raggeedii aa tahay wallaahi. You made a good distinction there :D .Quote:

That's all that's left now. Nostalgia.Quote:

^It won't be that way forever though insha Allah.
My only memory of Xamar is the flight attendent closing the door of the plane on my left hand!
Can't remember the week we spent there but I hear it was very pleasant.
I remember in middle school days where we used 2 have Thursday's soccer/football matches, and we used to beat shty out of Banadir h/dhese :D I remember school kadis and I was member of my school Kadis team (I had my 15 mins fame on National TV and radio Mog. forks) little bragging there..lol I remember how as ciyaalka xaafad, we used to go to other xaafad for football"sharad" and how we got our *** beaten by other ciyaal xaafad after winning the match. I remember how we used to sneak out of the house on Friday afternoons and go to iskoolo bolisiya beach or secundo liido(by Al-aruba hotel) or sometimes to Jazeera/ or abayo dhaxan beaches.
I remember going to Savoy Center with other kids just to have a ride on the elevator and been chased out by the guards..or going to school farsamada hoostiisa to rent bikes. How about the ciyaaraha Gobollada in stadium Mogadishu mmm and we used cheer for Marka(sh/hoose,) I don't even know any reason why our family members used to like that team n not Banaadir.
And after school year closes, we( family) used to go to leego for weeks sometimes month or so. I cant really finished all the good old days here.
my fondest memory is leaving home at sunrise and coming home at sunset...and not having to worry about anything but running as fast and as hard as i could and running into other kids.
the moqdishu tuna (can't remember what it was called)
the house i grew up in, my grandma making all of my dresses...
going to my cousins house to watch soccer games
my grandma's raaqe jalaato
eating a gauva everyday fresh from the market
the milk ladies ( although i hate milk now)
walking to dugsi and what an adventure that was
a corner here and there and all of a sudden between me and the dugsi it was endless horizon
the xalwo with the loos and siin siin ...sigh
and of course the indian ocean how saturated in colour it was and beautiful...there is no ocean like it... on rainy days licking your lips and tasting salt by the ocean
getting on the airplane with my mom and leaving behind my grandma and my brother.... watching them from the window as we took off.
Iskool Farsamada soo ma ahayn kan ku yaalay Lambarafar? Waa kii cusbaa. Meeshaas bushuleetiyada lagu kireyn jiray ogaa, dhowr jeerna waa aaday ciyaalkeena yaryar.Quote:

And I didn't know Savoy Centre had wiish. Soomaaliya meel wiish lahayd maba ogeyn. Savoy Centre still wey taagan tahay ka waran wali. Agagaarkaas dhan burbursan ka taagan sartaas kaliya, xataa Baar Fiat suu u muuqdo arag.
I remember Kudkudaha Suuqa Xoolaha, garaabadda suuqa siinaay and koolo formica. I worked in both places as street boy. Morning I will go to pickpocket the reer baadiye, the gadisleey, then in the evening we will hit Siinaay, collect Qat leftovers , replenish and repackage it as Marduuf bundle - in between these two activities was lazy afternoons sniffing glue (koolo fomrico, then Qafaal came to cleanse the streets from ciyaal darbi - and that was when the war started ....rest is history
ahhaa, money, raggeedii walahi! Dadkan is wada caruureenaayo adaa ka qatarsan, mid kasto anoo ciyaal ah & waxaa jiri jiray, aabaheeyaa nanac ii gadi jiray uu la soo shir baxay. Mid dhashiike aa saarnaa dhaho waa la waayay! Adi cayaal luushito waaye, abaay abaaay.. :D
loool...money saaxiib please tell us the rest dee...I know ciyaal-koollo upgraded their business in mainly becoming militia...
Haye Abwan, kolee uma qaab ekid reer Muqdishee, adiga shimee transit kusoo martay, I mean, reerkiina usoo guureen.. :D .
i kind agree jacaylbaro, if we need to revisit any memories, i bet they should be the bad ones. maybe they will give oss clue of what went wrong
but all those people who wanna dream about the good times of the past when we are deep shit right now, is nothing short than CALAACAL
Xamar got a never dying history in all Somali race, 95% if not more, of the fanaaniin/abwaaniin ma jiro nin aan Xamar soo marin.
I really miss it.
Everything you speak, I've experienced in Hargeisa. So far nothing that I hadn't had has been mentioned.
Besides, is this the time of the yr. where everyone claims to be from Xamar? :D
^Nagadaa foorjada.Doesn't it say on your passport mogdishu as your place of birth? :D
Redka,Memories of Hargeisa thread's aren't too popular nooh.All folks mention is the dagax and qudrad la'aanta [img]tongue.gif[/img]

^You know, i've always wondered,how do you guys really feel loosing your childhood memory? I mean,it must really suck knowing that you can never ever go back and walk thru that memory lane,Ever. That gotta be sad. Mhmm...
That said, I hate Xamar(Mogadishu). [img]smile.gif[/img]
The worst kind of calacal is the doom & gloom type, even if it is not in our lifetime (which I know it will be), Xamar will return to its former glory, if not better.

L0L. Dude,I was feeling for you. Empathy,dear. I know it came thru as if i was rubbing it in,but,it really does suck,doesnt it?Quote:

I was referring to the people who object to reminiscing & call it calacal.
Thats all that is left anyway,as Val said. Why would anyone want to deny someone that?Quote:

I really feel for everyone who has lost a home. A childhood Memory. Sucks.
FB, old Xamar is alive in people's memories and the new Xamar, the current Xamar, is creating memories (both bad and good I'm sure) in the people that live there now. The city hasn't died yet. As Lily pointed out, it will be rebuilt in due time, I'A.
So save your fake empathy/sympathy. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Musbaar liqa those qaraarka hayo. It aint calaal but reminiscing.
Muqdisho meel la mid ah ma arag weli. I have great memories of it. My old negative point was..la iima ogaleyn inaan la cayaaro ciyaalka xaafada. Laakiin Utange ayaan kaga gooyey my parents [img]smile.gif[/img]
Keep your rejections to yourselves guys(to those that are crying fault on Xamar caddeey) Open a thread about Hargeisa or Garisa or wherever else that be and see if we give a rat about it :D ..
We all know there is NO Somali city that can even come closer to Xamar in its glorious days, let alone compare.
MMA, yeah iskuul farsamada was in lambar afar, but I don't think it was new though. Baaskiilyaasha iyo moto sheelaro aa lagu ijaari jirey. Heard of guy called "Gurey"? As for the lifts, if am not mistaking isbitaal Digfeer and Bangiga dhexe also had lifts..

I have seen grown azz men in the malls, calling themselves, "ciyaalka xaafada", where is this xaafad first of all and 2ndly, When does a grown azz xamarawi stop calling himself and others ciyaal so and so?

Just for the record I have been in MMA's home. I am sure he was too young back then. His old man was biggie and their home was quite big sitting on a sizable real estate. I played boojo in the neighborhood. I was grade 6 at the time.
As for Xamar -- what can I say!! Have a nice memories. The place has left a permanent mark in my head.

Baashe, my big brother graduated from Sakhawadiin Sec School, back in 1985. He was big time basketball player for the school as well as local team.
No surprise there as Sheekha was our coach. Besides lujino stadium was a walk away. We won the championship in 1987. Big ups for Shakawadiin.

Haneefah, yeah we may have been classmates, who knows? Do you remember the fights? Every frigging day there was a fight. Maxey hablo timaha iska rifeen.
Xamar was once a beautiful and great city, I wasn't born there, balse anoo usoo socda ayay iga qaraxday, I was at the top of Samtareele heading for it and the civil war broke out, damn it. We are told iska laabta.
I feel obliged to say thank you for those of you who were so kind to take the time and share with us your memories. Sadly mine aren't so clear or else I would have shared, more of reason why I enjoy reading and hearing the experiences of others. Thanks once again and God Bless.
Ashkiro,
qaxii ma kaaga sheekeeyaa. :D
As soon as it is safe enough for a whitey like myself to go, this will be the first place I visit insha Allah.
Mogadishu, sadly the city that will never be.
I have both fond and morbidly horrid memories. In my formative years in Dugsi Quraan, it was the most enchanting time of my whole life- of course one continuously hopes to recapture/recreate those ephemeral moments of careless ciyaalmo without much luck. Damned are those who robbed us our childhood not to mention memories of that delightful age.
Fond memories?
Too long to list.
PS: I have noticed all the memories are associated with all well to do activities; Abay Dhaxan, Aran Hamburger (btw not Aran Burger), Xaraf etc. SOL is the place of the old Somali middle classes haye?
My first visit to xamar ... was a few years ago.
I can only speak about what buildings are still standing .. and areas not yet completely destroyed.
the southern part of xamar looked very nice .. not too affected by the fighting .. madina & buulo xuubay.
shangani looked completely destroyed ... the government building, the central bank, the cathedral all in ruins.
Liido beach is still beatiful and so is jazeera. the port in shangaani near masjid c/casis is now called dekada duqda and is no longer in use.
tarabuunka was rebuilt under c/qasim ... isbartiibo is holding together nicely.
of course this was before the tigre ... so probably alot of changes.
:D it is like a before/after pic .... except i would prefer to be on the other side.
ps: not everyone can possibly be from xamar .. so my fellow geeljires/geeljirad please raise your hands .. reer magaalka ha isku dhex qarinanina !
serously though meesha yaan la igu cidlayn dee asxaabta ... imisaa wadanka ka soo tagay oo xamar iskaba dhaaf magaalo aan arag sidee u egtahay :D

The Pictures are interesting, however this is not the Somalia I would like to see. A Somalia which is a playground for Gaalo. That was a time of utter humilation and one which by the grace of Allah(swt) we shall never see again.
I guess some of the few pictures offended you. I am sorry laakiin this is a thread dedicated to Muqdisho's history and that colonial part of our history is also part of Muqdisho's history. I wasn't glorifying the colonialists, just showing the pictorial Muqdisho of long bygone eras.
Interesting question, though: If you had a choice to live Muqdisho of 1950s and Muqdisho of today, which one would you prefer?
And about humiliation? What are we experiencing now? The beauty of independence?
It is beyond humiliation. We are collectively the laughing-stock of the world today, meel walba oo aan joogno waa nagala nacay. It is true.
Anyway, this is not a thread for politics.
Muqdisho; the city that was and that will be inshAla.
Nice pictures MMA.

Maantana boqolaal kun Soomaali ciyaalkooda ayaa dalalkaan ku barto wax. Ciraaq iyo Hindiya ciyaalkooda iyagana waa joogaan, so is Ingiriiska.

Soomaalidii nabadda ku nooleed la barbardhigay dadkii la halaagay ee Cad iyo Daamuud. Acuudi bilaahi.
Naagihii masaakiinta daruurigooda caanaha ee gadi jireen ka raadsan ayuuba aad ugu gafay; kawaanleydii ayuu u gafay; wuxuuba haddana leeyahay Xamar dhan gees ka gees ayaa brothels kaga taalay. What the... Hal meel jirtay waala ogaa.
Teeda kale, why is he only blaming masaakiinta danyarta ah if he wants to blame the deminse of Soomaaliya? If any people could be blamed, danyarta caanaha gadi jiray iyo kawaanleyda would be the last la eedeeyo.
I would have faintly believed, perhaps, if uu dusha ka saari lahaa masiibada Soomaaliya ka dhacday inay tahay nacalad Rabaani ah because of quursiga iyo qabiiltakoorkii qabaa'ilada Soomaaliyeed qaarkood la quursan jiray iyo dulinimada loola dhaqmi jiray. Now, taas ayaa masiibada keentay la dhihi karaa, if eed Soomaali collectively la saaraayo, if there is one at all.
And I have one finaly question for him: Haddee dambi dadka galaan dad lagu eedeynaayo, yaa dambi badan wixii before 1990 dhacaaye iyo waxa after 1990 dhacay, walina dhacaayo? He doesn't have to answer the obvious.

Macallin Aqiyaar, ma taqaanaa jidkaan?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaw, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaw kale. Xamar Caddeey ahaa.
Ma aqaani jidka laakiin aaga Shabeelle u maleynaa oo magaalada hoose ahayd.
Xamar Caddeey gadaal lee ka bartay, dagaallada ka bacdi. Ka hor dhif dhif lee u dhaafi jiray dhanka Sayidka to Ceelgaab.
Hooyo u raaci jiray ka xasuustaa meel Fiya'eejito la dhaho oo baqaaraha ku wada yaaleen oo Ceelgaab/Xamarweyne ka tirsanayd. Ani iyo walaalkeey na wadan jirtay Jimco ka Jimco oo aanan iskoolka jirin, waardiye u ahayn gadaasheed socon jirnay lest kuwa boorsooyinka dafo try boorsadeeda dafaan. They did once, hence na wadato anaga mar mar.
We always looked forward to having isbarmuuto or cambo qaboob ah, and every baqaar ee gisho timaha laguu salsalaaxaayo by the owners Hooyo yaqaanaan, how I hated that. "Wuu weynaadee..." they went while patting your head. [img]redface.gif[/img]
N.B. - Meeshaa ka keentay kuwa kale maku jireen?
http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3...9499637100.jpg
Isla jidkaas pics? maya ma haayo kuwo kale hadda.
Anigaba hooyadey boorsadeeda mid tuug ah kaga dafey via Roma agteeda. Boorsada waxaa ku jirey dahab oo islaamaha xaafada dhan ka dhexeeyey. Kii darawalka noo ahaa ayaa dukaanka loo direy inuu wax ka soo gado, I think it was batteries, anyway aniga banaanka ayaa taagnaa oo dhinaca front passengerka, hooyadey boorsadiina waxay dhigtey darawalka kursigiisa, markaasa waxaaba ii muuqdo mid dafaaya boorsada oo cagaha waxa ka dayey. Waa xasuustaa, waa ka daba ordey, markaas ayuu tuugii luuq ku leexday, and Allah amarkiis laba odey oo luuqa dhexdiisa taagnaa ayaa mid ka mid ah baankoortiisa jalaafo u qaadey tuuga by accident. Markuu dhulka ku dhacay ayuu boorsada tuurey oo ordey. Ala fiine, anigoo boorsadii wada ayaa gaariga ku soo noqdey, hooyadeyna dharbaaxo ayey iigu dartey for scarring her. :D
Maskiin. Axsaanimadii dharbaaxo maa laguugu daray? :D
Speaking of wax dafid, waxaaba kale soo xasuustay walaashey oo Ceelgaab meesha basaska laga raaco ookiyaal ee ku xaragooneysay loogu dafay iyadoo baska waliba saaran. See ku dhacday dheh.
Baska dhanka dariishada ayee fadhisay, dariishadana wey furneyd, baskana wali dadka raacaayo uu sugooyaa oo waa taaganyahay. Walaashey oo biideyneyso, ka qasneen qof lee garabkeeda ma taabanaayoo -- jug jug camal -- markee jeesatayna, fiiri istiri si caadi lee ookiyaalka loogu siibtay iyadoo arkeyso. Mid banaanka taagnaa uu ahaa maadaama daaqada furantahay. Wuuna iska sii socday. Xariifnimo taas ka weyn maba arkin. Laakiin Ceelgaab tuugnimada ugu xariifsan waa lagu yaqaanay.
Walaashey oo ka sheekeyneyso waxee tiri maxaaba qeyliyaa xariiftinimadiisa ka yaabay. Ookiyaalkaas wey jecleyd maadaama Talyaaniga kasoo gadatay mar dhow. Perhaps Dolce and Gabbana amuu ahaaba. Yaa kuu kasaayo hee xiligaas. :D
lol...walaasha miskiin waaye, aniga dariishada ayaan iska tuuri lahaa. Ceel gaab weligey bus kama raacin, waa nagula cabsiin jirey haddii aan is waalwaalno in ceelgaab nala dhex dhigaayo yacni lion's den camal nooh.
You would think in dharbaaxadaas aan cashar ka bartey. Nairobi sidoo kale, ciyaal koolo ayaa dheg dahab ah iga dafey, guess what, again hooyadey ayaan isla soconey. Maxaa iga sugeysey hee, waa kadaba ordey, baabuur ayaaba i jiiri gaarey. Hooyadey habaar lee ka bixi weysey this time though, qaylideeda daraadiis ayaan kaga haray, ilaah aa og waxaan ku sameyn lahaa cunugaas sheemaha ah.
Waxaa kaaga daran, maalin walba anigoo my cousins wata ayaan downtown-ka raadin jirney cunugaas iyo groupkiisa. Markii danbe waaba ka soo tagney wadankas. Welina ciilkiisa ayaa i haayo lol... I hate tuugo :D
First of all masha allah pictures .. lovin' it
I was born in Mogdishu in dec 1990 ..
Even though I left Somalia at the age of 6, I still have a few memories that I treasure =D
When I was little (maybe 4yrs) my hooyo used to send me to this lady who sells caano,, she used to sit somewhere jidka .. it's a but blurry though, don't know if I'm telling it right ..
I remember the safeness, playing wherever I want at that young age, without hooyo worrying .. wish I could still say the same nowadays ..
MsMoons, that safe "jidka" the milk lady used to sit must have been another city. Surely, Mogadihsu wasn't a safe place when you were 4 yrs old!Quote:

I meant 'safe' as in .. you belong somewhere, idon't feel like belong here, dhuulka gaalada, y'know what im saying?
idk i can't really explain, besides i was just a kid.
And i know it wasn't THAT safe .. my mum told me i almost got killed a few times .. don´t remember that though. I remember the good times, which im gonna hold on to :D
I thought 1994 Mogadisho was not any safer than it's today, but I could be wrong.
I am not known to be emotional chap, but seeing these pics, I was overcome by intense emotion- longing for the homeland! Although I live in Kenya these days and I see alot of Somalis hadana, this makes me home sick!.
I might be off to Mogadishu soon though I can't sleep there (or go to my usual old haunts)for security reasons, nevertheless I am intensely looking forward to it.

Bas kamid ah gaadiidka Roome. Obviously the bus' route is 'Somalia' since there is a 'Somalia' street (Via Somalia) in Roome.
Xamar had Via Rome, marka waala isku mahadcelinoyaa. Xamar, too, had Via Liberia, and in turn, Monrovia, the Liberian capital, has Somalia Drive.
Go Soomaaliya, indeed.
^^^Qaahira xataa street Soomaliya la dhaho ayaa ku yaala dhinaca Muhandeseen.
Reer Qaahira ahayd miyaa? Ma ogeynee.
Soomaaliya wixii Soomaalida ama Soomaaliya mahadiyo ayee u mahadnaqi jirtay. Saas ugu wacan filaa Qaahira jid Soomaaliya loogu magacdaray inay ku taalo maadaama iskool Jamaal Cabdinaasir Xamar ku yaalee asagana.
lol...meel aan soo marin waa yartahay. Masrida iyo Sudanta waxyaabo badan ayey u qabteen soomalida, haddii laga hadlo waxbarasho ilaa heer jaamacadeed. Sidoo kale caafimaadka waa almost free, also businessyo badan oo ay ka mid yihiin internet cafe and xawaalado are starting to boom in Cairo. Waa marka keliya aan ka faa'iideysano being a member of the AL.
Reer Suudaan yaraantey ilaa hadda ogaa waxee u qabteen Soomaalida maxaa yeelay walaalahey aadi jiray, waxbarashonimo u aadi jiray. Suudaan iyo Bakistaan waxbarasho u aadi jireen, sawiradee kusoo galeen lee arki jiray. Mid kamid ah walaalahey Urdu ayeeba ku hadli jirtay oo Karaaji (Karachi) kasoo baratay.
Soomaalida iyo Suudaan dowladihii ka jiray aad iskugu dhawaayeen dhaqan bandhigeed, waxbarasho iyo waxaas dhan wey isdhaafan jireen.
Masarna saas camal ahayd, siiba waaguu Jamaal C/naasir noolaa.
Xamar goormaa kugu dambeysay adi? Saa ugu soo fiigtay maku noqon filaa? :D Ee markaas anaa kaa geesisan oo mar indhaha qabsaday aan dalaq iri in 2003.
1991... Soomaliya weligey si toos ma u joogin hence the luqada liiq liiqaneyso. Caqli aan dalaq ku dhaho ma heysanin after the civil war, plus adiga wiil ayaa tahay so it easy for you to take off meeshaad doonto. Aniga mar hore ayaan adi lahaa, laakiin hooyadey ayaa ii diidan.
Habaryaro ayaa ka shaqeeya Hargeysa iyo Muqdishu as dakhtaro.

Wiilalnimo ma'aha ee indhaqabsi iyo waxaas waaye. After I went in Xamar, a lot of my siblings isbiimeyeen too, oo waxee dhaheen MMA hadduu isbiimeeye ma anaguu naga geesisanyahay. :D Many of them were sisters, wali iyagoo ciyaalkooda babies ah oo yar yar wato.
Truth be told, anigaba waa la iiga horeeye, oo laba sisters iiga horeeye in a few months before my arrival laakiin baando kale ila dhalatay markee ani oo tagay i arkeen isadkeeyeen iyagana.

Haatu, ebidkaa Xamar ma aragtay horta? Xamarbille kulahaa. Xamarbille ma taqaan horta? No sheeg xaafadaha ku dhex yaali jiray qaarkood. Haddaa sheegtid laba xaafad ka mid ahayd baaquli soor ugaali ah aa laguu diyaarinaa. :D
Ninac, meesha saa ku qiyaasaaye ee noqotay hee, yacni waxaa ka wadaa meesha Shabeelle waaye markaa kulahaa. Boggagii hore lasoo mooday ku qoray saas.
Bankiga Ganacsiga Shabeelle uu ku yaalay, agagaarkaas dhan berisamaadkii waxaa la dhihi jiray Shabeelle, waa meesha Xamar ugu bilicsanayd.

Geelle, waa kanaa masaajidka Arbacrukun aad raadineysay pre-civil war. Bankiga Ganacsiga ee Ninac ka hadleyso inay tahay sartaas cad bidixda kaa qabaneyso jeclahay, ma hubi Bankiga Dhexe iyo midka Ganacsiga sartaas midee tahay.

I arrived with my family in Mogadishu, November 1984, I was 15 years old and was looking forward to all the experiences that awaited me in Somalia, my father was sent as an engineer from the West German government as part of West Germany's aid to Somalia .
We got a nice house in the Hodan neighborhood in Mogadishu, Mogadishu was so peaceful that one could walk at night without fearing anything, the women’s were modern and well dressed, Mogadishu was one of the world's most beautiful cities, the city also had world-class universities, and there was no garbage on the streets. I was sent on "American School of Mogadishu," which was an international school for foreign children, after school, we all used to go to the Lido beach, it was a paradise!
Our Somali neighbors in Hodan was incredible friendly and tolerant, they made it easier for us to get used to Somalia, I became friends with many of the children in the Hodan area, I never learned to speak Somali, although my Somali friends tried hard. On weekend’s we visited Hotel Al-Uruba who had a good nightclub, Mogadishu had generally a dynamic nightlife. Often my family went with our neighbors to go to the farms between Mogadishu and Kismayio, it was a paradise! My family was Catholic and every Sunday we used to go to the largest Catholic Church in Africa which was in Mogadishu, right next to a mosque. Every Wednesday the European boys were selling cookies around Mogadishu, our cake was bad, but the Somalis used to buy them not to hurt us.
But when the European club members ran marathon race through Mogadishu, the Somalis though that we were crazy! And at night! Mogadishu was a safe city….
In December 1990 we were evacuated by the U.S. Army after a rebel group called the United Somali Congress attacked Mogadishu, I came to Somalia in 1984, a beautiful peaceful country, and I fled from a burning Somalia in 1990.
I thank the great Somali people for having me and my family as guests in their beautiful country for so many years, and I pray they get peace and prosperity.

2- Lol @ Suuqa Xoolaha walaahi i used to go with my Dad during the Ciid to buy a goat to be slaughtered yes that place was good to be .
3-I can't forget my sweet Little alley, Via Liberia xaafada Waaberi sitting and watching beautifull sisters passing by,what a memory> anyway thanks for sharing and yes whether Xamar is dead or not memories will last forever.

All these memories being dished out has made me sad, I think I am going to cry :(
*goes off to her corner*
Only thing i remember about Somali is drinking vimto and eating peanuts in the back of my dad's car. They were wrapped tightly in a paper... cone-like-shaped paper that still amazes me, considering the fact that later on in my life i witnessed my Ayeeyo spit in a similar shaped paper lol
Oh, oh and nac-nac lubaani, i always loved how the girls selling them chanted in the streets of "wardigley" i know that is no way near the actual spelling of it.
That is all i have, will come back if i miraculously remember something :D
:D :D @this thread. Knarly.
@KK, bas ka dheh yaaqoo ciyaal waamo-daan! lol... inta mar qosley ma ogi runtii...marka KK ha noolaato! and CX of course! :D
^ Nina horta you've had it against me since day 1 when you insinuated I had no friends but refused to get me my jalaato so dhinac iskaga leexo. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
As for the calaan, well she is after all from Qardho and reer Maasha'allah (you know what I mean by this ;) ) so waxbo kale ma laga sugaayo. :D
Now I leave it to Bob to defend my beautiful city.
e-Hug @Haatu! *aad ha'iigu sii dhagin ee fuq*
Waad iga reysay hadaadba reer Mansha'allah tiri, oo aadna ;) kusii dartay...Siin u dhoola caseeyay lee hadii ogaan leheed, shib iska dhehbo! Alxamdulilaah... :cool:
Nina, jir oo joog oo jinkaa ladheel-dheel sxb! Haatu iidaa, ee jalaatadii aad kun iyo konton sano kahor ka balanqaaday sii ishiisa yee ku helinee...
I am jealous of Haatu now - getting e-hug from the lady of Qardho. :D
As for the topic - it is sad that beautiful Xamar is being reduced to memories only - as if tough it is dead. People the city is alive and will live to tell the tale insha'Allah. Although i never been there - i hope to visit one day.
Sayid: Haatu collecting e-hugs from left to right is a matter of a concern for all of us and I feel your sentiments [img]smile.gif[/img] . With that said, Xamar will rise from the ashes IA. No power on earth can tie it down forever. Even though I took my first 7 years of my life in Shalanbood then Xamar, I vividly remember its beauty, my everlasting friendship with school mates, friends is something I cherish every day, when I compare her pics before and after, I hallucinate .... Rest assured though, Somalis built it and the same Somalis destroyed it and, finally only Somalis can restore the glory days of Xamar....Clearly, that calls lots of effort and hard work and let us hope that be the case.
:D @jelaato sii... illaahow na cafi.

At the bottom, banooniga midigta xiga ay gacanta u saarantahay. Adeerkey islaantiisa ayey la dhalatey. Aad ayaan uga danbeyn jirey, she was very confident and no nonsense woman.
Markaad yartahay wax walba cool cool ayaad moodaa. Some hairdos oo ay my older siblings and relatives ay ku sawiran yihiin marka arko hadda waan qoslaa, "what were they thinking" camal. lol...
My mother's generation was more Jackie O compared to kuwii ka danbeeyey. They had superb taste in fashion (Somali style). I think their diet was better too. No heavy ladies oo aan socon karin mala arki jirin caadi ahaan. I would've loved to be born then, wadankeyga ayaan ku raaxeysan lahaa like there is no tomorrow. lol

I haven't seen Mogadishu for fourteen years.
^^Insha'Allah hun it will be peaceful soon enough and u will go back to it!..my family was there fr 2 yrs bt I have no memory of it. However, I do treasure my family album. Hamar was definitely a beautiful place...alle sideedi haku so celiyo somalina dhibta haka qado. Ameen..
salaam
Amiin to that walaashiis!
I was six when I came to Europe.
And thankfully, I do have some memories of the little time I grew up in Mogadishu, not much, but enough to tell people, ''I remember when I was four I used to ... ''
For now, I'll just treasure those, till one day I can go back and make new memories, insha allah!
^I am glad u have some memory to hold on to, I left somalia when I was 3...and sadly I cant remember a thing!..Inshallah dalkeena waan ku noqon anago nabad ah!..
@making new memories, inshallah it will be sooner than we think. Make sure you add Somalia to your prayers at all times!..
salaam

Keep it coming please.
Mogadishu was a great city. It is still the national seat of the Somalia that once existed. Today is down but I dare say not out.
Xamar once used to be the most cleanest and safest city on the continent... Yaa rabbi ilaahow Xamar kusoo celi xasiloonidii iyo kala danbayntii.
xamar is my hometown, i was born and raised in xamar,,, all my life is about xamar,,, dagaalo iyo isbaro iyo balaayo oo dhan but still it was good enaf to live with it,,,
life was simple and at the same time very complicated since there was war and balaayo... i remember going to shukaansi, and hunting girls afternoon at makiinada cajiinka and habeenkii la cayaro meelaha iyo baashaal....
now its all memory,
cayaal faa cali lolzzz anyone remember,, asxaabul fawdo ay ahaayeen kuwaas bateri oo futada dadka laga geliyo iyo habeenkii oo macawuus dhagax lagu shubo then dadka wadada maraayo lagu garaaco hahahah crazy stf dude
Some of my earlier memories of Xamar was not a happy one. We moved to Somalia in 1986 and the first thing my parents did was take us to Wardhiigleey (where they both resided).
*As a child, I was amazed and appalled at the sheer cheek of the people popping in and out of each others homes always borrowing something (sometimes without asking).
*The doors were always open, even at night which was scary iyo nus.
* We went to grandma's house one morning and were introduced to her animals and by afternoon we were told we were eating one of the goats my brother and I were petting. Nightmare iga dheh.
*Whenever we visited family, were often overfed and over critisized for being too "westernised"
*Dont even get me started on the toilets loooooooool OMG
*Mom insisted on us going to dugsi and after a week were taken out coz we were contaminated with injir looooooool
On a happier note, I enjoyed the beach, the hospitality (had to get used to it in the end).
*I loved how Aabo and his friends would sit under the tree and sip coffee whilst listening to BBC or somethin.
*I miss the Subac Soon sessions during Ramadan.
*In 1988 we moved to Huriwaa from Kaaraan. I loved that neighbourhood coz everyone stayed in their houses and kept to themselves (finally something I was used to).
*We were allowed to keep pets. A deer, 3 dogs, pigeons, chicken, a monkey, a turtle, and an injured goat my habaryar gave my mom to recouperate in our house.
*I miss my school, my friends and the nastiness we got upto at school parties pranking innocent people. Aaaaaaaah those were the days.
If I was granted one wish in life, t'would be to go back in time and re-enjoy those days walaahi. :(

My best memories from Xamar are of the beach and the Indian Ocean. Never have I seen an ocean with so much character and attitude, each wave of this sea was unique and wild.Quote:

Wish I have seen Somalia. Wish I was born when there still was peace and experience the peaceful and beautiful Somalia of back then.
Soori, wey ku dhaaftay. Those were the days. Literally good, great old days. That Soomaaliya shaqsi ahaanteyda wax walba waaku bixin lahaa if lagu noqon karo. I would've done everything to go back to that timeline. And this time as a grown man, not as a little boy, to enjoy and appreciate it fully. But alas, we can't.
I know I can only watch old videos and pictures of that time, but it's not too late if you start building a time machine as in the movie Back To The Future so we can go back in time lol :DQuote:

She had and drove -- oh, ladies used to drive in '70s, Xamar was so liberal, thousands of years ahead other African towns -- a Talyaani car Xamar caan ka ahaa, whch was called Fantikuwataare, aka venti quattro.

It was this model. Also it was the model used by Muqdisho taxis.
I only vaguely remember each of us getting the towels and shorts and squeezing in that car, many of us boys. It lasted until the sister and her family moved to Sirte, Libya in mid '80s. Aah, the memories. First time I heard Sirte was back then.

See, this was the Xamar I was talking about. Eebboow.
of misschien kun je ook vragen iedereen dat is 35 jaar en ouder in jouw gezin ;how prachtig en gezellig het was in Somalia (en in het bijzonder magadisho) in de jaren 80sQuote:

MMA,
Alhamdullilah i'm still kicking- i do roam from time to time, but like many others life took over. Work and family commitments leave little time for much else.
As for Xamar, how i long for the day that i can experience the Xamar that my parents speak so fondly of- inshallah soon.
bring it up
Beautiful pic, But man, so innocent they look. Little did they know of their future Somalia. I guess it must be painful for them to see such pictures if they're still alive.Quote:
