The only passport that going to make me proud is Somali passport (Jamhuuriyadda Dimoqraadiga ee Soomaaliya). Wallaahi, for some reason, when I am travelling, I sort of feel uneasy when I am holding my current host country's passport, specially when there are natives of the country in queue or around me. That is just a feeling. Maybe I will get over it. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for it.

Jizaak Allah, I meant to ask this very question, but Alxamdu lillaah, I benefited from it.

That food left me wanting, iga wallee. Waan soomanahaye less of the food graphics and more of cibaadada. Sanbuus is the one food the reminds me of Ramadan, maansha Allah. P.s. Kalaankal waxaan maleynaaya inuu ahaa hilib weyn oo la cuno oo kinda bbq-ed ah!? Wrong? Or is there a Somali regional variation of it?

Are you guys worried about this slowly but surely spreading killer disease, specially in the UK, now that there are more than 100 000 (US 1000 0000 affected, 300 deaths) people down with it? Do you know your nearest Tamiflu medication distribution outlet. Have you checked the gov't or the NHS website for info? This is serious, folks. Have you thought of it or does it worry you?

Jumping the gun, iga dheh. People 'look before you leap', the net is full of crap, concocted lies and intrepretations. So, don't jump the gun and start accusing/almost rubbishing an individual.

Informatique to say the least. "Developments in the homeland, followed obsessively by the adults, held little interest among teenagers. They rolled their eyes at the older men known as “the sitting warriors,” who debated clan politics with such gusto at one Starbucks that the staff bought a decibel meter to ensure that the noise did not rise above legal limits. "

Very touchy and very realistic. Great job to the makers of the film.

Waar ummada xumadu heyso yaa wax u sheega. Qabiil dawlad (goboleed or otherwise) ma noqdo. The only way forward is unity of all Somalis whichever part of Somalia. This can only come when the thugs are uprooted and justice iyo midnimo returns, insha Allah.

As Mr Afisoone put it, power has gone into the head of this Shariif fellow. Wax qabiil aaminsan oo qiimo leh waayey. I agree tht with him 10000%

I didn't mean it to be funny. Get it? Besides, I have nothing to say to people who think like you do.

What was that old Somali saying: "Deriskaa cadaan iyo madow wixii ka aheen waa kaa dhigaa". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It SO damn true. Having said that, Somalis have a defective (fat) gene that goes bonkers after 30 years or so. Unlucky some, it goes wrong before that.

It's funny. Many here wouldn't have even bothered to look at the news twice if he would have been killed by gangs in the town he lived in. Now that he died for higher cause, thugh that you don't agree with it, you shouldn't look down on him as wasted. He died hopefully a Mujahid. And with that, May Allah SWT reward him with Jannah.

Soomaaliya waxay noqota dhilo nin walbaa iska damaaciyo. Yeey, has had his time with her. Now, it is the puppet Sheikh. And now, this Faroole is positioning himself to have a go? Rabbi talo ku filan.

Only time I ever felt French authorities were up to any good. I'm sure though, there's gotta be some demographic issue underpinning their decision (that is the cynic in me talking..) Good luck to them all.

Wallaahi waa xawayaan. I wonder what would come next....? Sex at the workplace to boost the morale...? Gaalo xagee wax ku wadaa...?

What seems to be the problem if she includes a link for her site. Seriously, her site promotes everything good about somalis and their food. Cut the crap, people.

"An Indian man was watching with me, and he suprisingly said ( What a romantic woman ) lol Indians are alwasy funny, a war zone turned to be romantic zone" Did he really? That is hillarious

Good Lord! Are you guys serious? Watching and following Cricket(d)? Somalis watching and talking about Cricked? What next? Yes, if you live in India or Pakistan or something, but not countries where there alternative sports.....

That fellow looked a lot like a Somali than anyone else. I guess the gov't spin doctors wheel is in full spin.

Yes, you're definitely a die-hard.

"All that I have been doing - meetings and organising - were dangerous enough to make me a marked man for some old ghosts" Wow. I wonder who those old ghosts are!

First time I came across the so-called passport of Somali land was at Addis Gegideeda dayuuradaha. Elderly fellow oo wata ayay u diidanayeen inuu duulo. He was actually convincing the authorities that this document is accepted by the Ethiopian authorities. Meeshii baa iigu danbeysay. True story this. /Rumeyso ama ha rumeysan.

A lasting solution is what is needed in the country. Can the current cock-up bring that about? We all know the answer is a resounding NO. Al Shabab are not without their fair share of shortcomings, but the fact is they're the closest thing Somalis have to a lasting solution.

Prubogaando iyo ku tiri ku tiri weeye waxaad sheeganaysaa ee afka iska soo dhaqa.

Ah, and one more reason for the visit to Washington is, of course, the rise of the Dhalinta Wadaadada ah and how these regional admins can be used to stop them. Old isticmaar tactic, 'iyaga isku dil'.
