If a fiber to a fiber, chains a thread to a thread If an atom into items, lips can in unity meet If a pore to a drip, fluids can webb and spread Then a tease of tingles, a kiss'll easily emit If a ticking of touch, alerts the tender in sense If encounter of care, hold emotion in suspense If attention in passions, excite head to toe Then elation in affections, a hug'll easily bestow Now dwell not in vain disdain, darlings, but do The doings that must be done, which won't undo The desires in beloveds deep, without dismiss That a kiss or hug'll not spawn you marital bliss!

^So what are you waiting for then? Are you gonna make the first move or what?

Xiin, common sense rejects your explanation. I beg to differ.

Oh, thank you, X. Man. I have been looking for this source on the Gerad. The same with Gerad Xamar Gale, on which I found some information in WiKi. Thanks a lot. I think it's a topic that is worthy of an investigative discussion. More sources is what we need. Welcome to SOL.

^What is this authority you speak of that closed the camp? How representative is it? And why would a local militia want to set up a camp if they are equitably represented in this 'authority'? And how do you expect a non-native, unrepresentative authority to decide on the affairs of the locals? It looks like we are evading the reality here. In everything that happens in Somalia, qabiil plays it's part. And the sooner we recognise that basic fact and find ways past it's dangerous effects, the sooner we'll succeed or we'll always continue chasing our tails. The basic line is this: the natives must own local authority. You try the opposite and then you have catastrophe.

My God. Inaa Lillaahi Wa Innaa Illaahi Raajicuun!

^Political majority at the expense of who exactly is the question? It has nothing to do with qabiil? Well that's an opinion you are entitled to, I guess.

If a place is peaceful; if a native peace-keeping is already effective; if there is no dulmi in that area then it should be left alone, and not be bothered by hypocritcal zealots veiling sinister motives. And I support their moral right to self-defense. If you have other deluded ideas in your mind then tell it to the bloody winds. I don't give a hoot.

Fast mobilization would mean the talks have broke down. I was aware there were hostilities but what you are saying seems to be an escalation. Gabbal, I will be very much appreciative if you elucidate for us the concialitional processes unleashed to maintain this patch-work of intricate coalition - seems the use of religion amix with politically expedient and clanist intentions, has alerted the defenders of Buulo Xaaji to take up arms in response. Perhaps, X. Turki's lot too saw the inherent danger in remaining in such a coalition to rule Kismaayo - including areas that come within the Lower Jubba. Perhaps, you should expound their theory on the heart of the matter. What is, in a nutshell, the problem?

Soo adigii ahaa nin nabadeed, maxay tahay ha la diriro? The natives used to be very subtle and accepting, what happened to them lately is beyond me! Go'nayay ahayne reerka waranka ka leexi. Gheele, sometimes even the pacifist finds a great service to justice in 'defensivist fight' - the kind of which you must wage for the preservation of dear life, and land. I, in no way propagate war upon the undeserved, peaceful folks in many parts of Somalia, but in this case, I guess the old addage of: 'Nimaan shanta kaa reebin, sharci kaama reebo' suffices. Buulo Xaaji and others in the lower Jubbas currently face the problem of fending off 'the utilization of Islamic sharia' masking deeper and sinister clan motives. So, and I might be wrong, 'Mucaskar Faaruuq' aka Caanoole stands to these charges? Only Allah knows, but whatever the case, I hope both sides of this conflict will halt all hostilities and seek to solve the tensions through the path Nabadeyn. All I know is that the natives of Buulo Xaaji and it's environs have thus far avoided any engagement in war against others or themselves. They were known to be peaceful people and whatever has necessitated the need (on their part) to commence a fight - regardless of whether they are in the right or wrong - must be investigated. no one simply declares war for the pleasure of it! No! There must a percieved existential threat - in this case perhaps it could be in the nature of expansionism.

^Lol. I knew it. Your miskiinimo shines through. Which area did you frequent then? That place is a crazy zone. The authorities must have a sign up saying: Caution: You are now entering Stampede Zone! Somali might walk over you!

^You know nothing beats the politics section. For me I can only post in the general section (women, rarely) at a given length of time, before I feel the mellow hue of gossipy mysteries surge and envelope me. That section is a proper rumour mill, which is in dire need of Putnian Kontora wire-taping, over-arched by a black-op KGB surveilance team. I dare frequent there now. But here? Oh here, I am right at home. And it's all hot air. On AA, I concur with you on having a satirical cartoon on the scene of Somali non-realpolitik. But AA has already done the damage before in relation to the good Sheikh - when he depicted the Sheikh as a donkey. If I am not mistaken even most of armchair political commentators thought that 'donkey' cartoon was uncalled for. AA paid Xaal, as the legend goes. Lol. Imagine paying 5 halaad for that? And you'd have thought he'd learn a lesson. Anyway since then many supporters (including Norf and Theiry, ahem )of the president are a little on the sensitive side.

^So, you come to this end at times, eh? BTW the said cartoon could be read as anything but being spot on. It's not political satire, it's pure the addiction to the echoing applause of an agreeable audience, sprinkled with an attentive delirium bordering on immaturity. Nothing else to it. Let AA start his caricatures from even some (One tenth of a half) truth, which will put him a topical border of some sort, but he isn't! He's stray-shooting at non-existing kibilaay! And that takes the joke away from him (the artist) and unto him (the uncouth), like injir tiyaar taaganoo lagu istaagey. OK, I'll admit it, I'm just taking the micky here. AA has his moments though he lacks a sense of suitability at times - on some topics. But other than than he is OK. He's far from his Siyadist Nacamle days, painting to please. At least he can paint the Sharif without any danger, right? Ah, our Somalia! PS: I support the government of Somalia - this one all others to come.

'ello 'ello! How's sunny African days going so far? Basking, I suppose.

Amin Amir needs to be taught some lessons - in the nature of the narrow end of a whip.

DeSoto, MC. 2009. Ockman's Razor and Autism: The case for developmental neurotoxins contributing to a disease of neurodevelopment. Neurotoxicology doi:10.1016/j.neuro. 2009.03.003 Synopsis by Heather Patisaul, Ph.D. Children living near Superfund sites are more likely to be autistic. Autism rates among school children living within a 10- or 20-mile radius of toxic waste sites are nearly twice as likely to have autism compared to children living farther away from such sites. These data support the widely speculated but controversial idea that exposure to chemical contaminants can increase the risk of developing autism. The incidence of autism in the US has risen dramatically during the past 20 years. Improved diagnoses may contribute to the elevated number of cases, but a recent study calculates that better diagnosis does not explain a large part of the rise. Environment, such as exposure to chemicals, is thought to be a primary driver of the increase. The researchers investigated autism rates in children attending public schools located near Superfund sites in Minnesota. Superfund sites are toxic waste sites designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as hazardous for human health. Among the pollutants frequently found at the sites are chloroethelyenes, benzene and metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, chormium, arsenic). The study compared autism rates among public school children in 46 school districts located within 10 miles of one or more Superfund sites to rates among children within 288 school districts that did not have a site within 10 miles. Rates of the disorder were one and a half times higher in the districts within 10 miles of the toxic sites. That translates into 1 child in 92 in districts closer to the sites compared to 1 child in 132 in the districts farther away. Schools within a 20-mile radius of Superfund sites had similar autism trends as the schools with 10 miles of the sites. Autism encompasses a spectrum of disorders relating to impaired social behavior, including delayed speech, avoiding eye contact and repetitive behavior. The disease is more common in boys than girls and emerges in early childhood. Autism is believed to result from improper brain organization during gestation. Where the mothers of the children in this correlational study lived while they were pregnant was not taken into account and is thus a notable and important limitation. Correlational studies look for associations between disease and potential environmental factors. It is important to keep in mind that correlational studies like this one are often the first to identify potential links between an environmental exposure and a disease but that other information is needed to verify the association. For example, human exposure around Superfund sites is generally minimal, so it is unclear how the children would have been exposed to contaminants. In addition, the children in this study were not tested for contaminants in the blood or urine to confirm that they were indeed exposed. According to the authors, rates in Minnesota are eight times higher now than they were in the 1980s. They are particularly high among Somali immigrants, for reasons that remain unclear. The authors did not state if any of the children in their study were from Somalia. http://www.environme ntalhealthnews.org/e hs/newscience/autism -risk-higher-near-to xic-waste-sites
