You folks show me that you are least economic in theory. Looking at it from an economic perspective, I have calculated within a matter of 5 minutes (perusing this thread) that the commodity X (Somali women) are near valueless in mass matrimonial equation. You see, the ratio of men to women in the Diaspora (by women we mean - ugub commodities) drives utility value down to a level of abundance. That is excluding SHC (second hand commodities - which have sustained detriments or inherent variables), thus, overall, since the demand is low, matrimonial clients (single men) will inevitably demand the availability of 'change' or 'made-by-order' products. Change or 'made-by-order' products thus invites a new group of sophisticated merchants and a new market. These new merchants and their new market then bring new languages, which are wholly unnecessary. It's an inconvenience. So, in a nutshell, we MUST have more Somali girls and women marrying foreigners to raise the value of product utility. If they (women) drag their feet in such a project then they should be thrashed and then be forced to marry foreigners. If they should refuse again, they should be thrashed again. How many thrashed is that? I have one more left so I will use it later on. Or else, just like the farmers in Europe that you see dumping milk to increase value, we will be forced by circumstance to masaafuris these women. I think they should bring back the old tradition of Qumayo lagu rid deep pits. PS: I wrote the above in the influence of tea misuse so all mistakes MUST be appreciated. Because I say so.

Anigu, I never thought the plight of an 8 months old would leave me in a state of emotional agony when a court was shown the x-rays of all of baby X's bruises - totalling 8 (3 broken rips, 1 broken colar bone, a brain haemorrhage, skin injuries and etc)... Apparently labadii dashaybaa is dagaaley markaasaa cunuga sidii dhagax la isku tuurey according the prosecution. I could not believe it, I refused to believe actually.

Waa nasiib darro, Walle. I don't know the particulars of this case as investigations are still on-going, but sideey tahayba Allaha sahlo umuuraha. It isn't an easy thing to deal with. Unfortunately there are many Somali families facing charges that involves their children. Waa wax laga naxo. This case is public laakiin cases badanoo argagax kugu ridaya ayaa jira oon cidna ka war qabin where the kids and parents end up. Allaha u sahlo Illaahbaa xaqiiqda naga oge.

LOl. Nice one. Aw Muuse. I think the clause which contains JB's name legally puts in a safe bufferzone. So this shows if PLanders want to fabricate news, they can do it better and with class.

Originally posted by The Zack: quote:Originally posted by Abtigiis & Tusbax: Zack, There is no option left now. The ONLF must shelve the struggle for now and postpone the dream of freedom. It is a matter of survival. A position paper by Ogad,den intellectuals will be submitted to ONLF leadership next week. With your own brothers as the enemy, it is impossible to think you can win this. Until such time the lost ideal of Somalinimo comes back, the ONLF must not allow for the total annihilation of the section of the society that supports it. AT&T, Ood dhacmeed sey ukala koreysaa loo kala qaadaa, at this point the option of negotiation has to be re-visited. A lot of letters need to be written to the ONLF. Ethiopia has too many cheerleaders in Somalia. The ONLF can fight against this entities but they don't want to do so, they are looking at the bigger picture. They also don't want the Xabashis to take advantage of Somalis fighting against other Somalis. The only option the ONLF has at this time is to agree with Ethiopia. I heard that Meles Zenawi postponed the Somali region elections because he is waiting for the ONLF to join the elections. He has actually called the ONLF and offered them to talk to him, this time. The ONLF should join Ethiopia, if they do so they will come back to Garowe and Hargeisa as Ethiopian officials and those guys who are arresting them now will start licking their boots. This handover thing is turning to be disgusting, Women are being handed over! Alloow sahal umuuraha. I think its best to prioritise matters and deal with them accordingly.

^I am being told the raiders were finger-pointed, briefed with inside info on the particularities of the Somali clan system - meaning the pirate clans and the safe clans. Mine happens to fall in the former category so it's curiously worrying.

Originally posted by Juxa: they were abducted by reer hebel pirates. The culprits are known, their kin are known and even the place they are holding these hostages is known. ~WHAT DO YOU MEAN? it is easy to point your fat fingers on reer hebel, but i will let you know that the sea belong to all. in fact burcad badeedka ajnabi baa ubadan :mad: reer hebel laga yaabee inuun dufan afka loo mariyay I am really supportive of Somalis in the UK showing their disproval of the elderly couple being held by the (Somali: all Somali) pirates. But what I am absolutely disgusted with is what had actually taken place in Birmingham's Salama restaurant. Two times Salama restaurant was raided with pro-free Chandler's supporters, who were said to be all white. And the reason for targeting that particular restaurant was because it is owned and congregated by folks from the clans of Xarardheere. Apparently, the raiders were armed with pistols and forcefully threw out all the customers of the restaurant - that is, after stern clannistically driven warnings and threats, such as, I paraphrase, 'we won't let you sip coffee in peace in our country while your 'clan' holds the Chandlers hostage'. Release them or else...... Now, this is a deep cut in the already wounded British Somali psyche. I won't stand for this sort of thing.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: A court in Somalia handed out 15-year prison sentences to 11 pirates on Sunday, the presiding judge said. Prosecutors at the court in Berbera, in the breakaway northern state of Somaliland, brought a number of charges against the men, including piracy and attempted armed kidnapping. They showed the court photos obtained from NATO naval forces showing the pirates when they were arrested last December. "The trial, which lasted a week, was finally concluded today after the evidence brought before the court showed that the eleven were involved in piracy and hijacking. The court finally announced its verdict -- a jail term of 15 years each", Osman Ibrahim Dahir, the presiding judge, told AFP by phone from Berbera. The pirates were detained last December after they attacked an international naval force ship mistaking it for a commercial ship off the Somali coast . The international forces released them after disarming them, but they were arrested against a few days later by Somaliland coastguards ? who spotted them in a coastal village near Djibouti. "Some of the pirates confessed their crimes while others were still reluctant to confess, but they were sentenced and sent to jail," Jamal Abdikarin, security officer in Berbera told AFP by phone. AFP The first sentence gives away all the secrets of that sham trial. The article clearly states 'a court in Somalia' but not in 'Somaliland', hence that makes the supposed court trial a Kangaroo dance on a red dune. There exists no recognised court of (Somali) law in the NW of Somalia - currently. Whatever happens in the Somali coast remains under the jurisdiction of Somali (read:Somalia) courts. There is no need to take the play-acting memes and mimics of statehood seriously. The men held hostage should be set free. Ma been baan isku maaweelineynaa mise dhab?

The picture above the article isn't from Badhan, so hold your horses (or tie them in burco) for the time being, will ya? To use another Somalilander's own words: [yet again] stuff and nonsense. C'mon lads, you can do better, nooh.
