Sorry but it seems Cade's list of harrassment and Riyaale's watch of 17 year old girl assissins are becoming more and more rediculous by the day.

^^ I was reading this article on Dhahar online and what made me laugh was its headline 'Cade Muuse oo Wali wada riyadii shidaal ka qodista Woqooyi Bari'. I say they got it right, the old man is dreaming - and Range Resources is selling off blocks on paper because in practical terms I doubt if any real exploration would take place. Unless, that is, Cade grows clever all of a sudden and consults with the people of the land.

^^ Not a very bad idea Cambaro and me. Actually I am going to post a little history of how many deals that were entered between the Somali Democratic Republic and oil exploration companies from 1986 to 1990. This may give us an idea of how today's contractual agreements between Puntland and Range Resources et al. share a similar pattern to those deals made between the SDR and other companies. Heck, it may be possible that some of those who brokered the deals then are now involved in current deal making- may be they created a career in shady dealing without the necessary Foreign Investion Law knowledge and experiance? Possible.

^^ Sxb it is a day light robbery and Cade would make this robbery good through force. A superiority over the folks whose land is sold in international pirate markets for peanuts. If necessary Cade would not hasitate to secure this lands by total capture. 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely', and Cade is shopping for the very tools of power needed to subjugate his fellow kinsmen for few pennies. Would they accept such utter disrespect? I wonder.

Xoogsade, One thing I have come to realise is that the Courts, whether in Xamar or in Kismayo, have vowed not to pick a fight with reer Gedo. There is too much stake for both sides to fight each other, with the possibility that if their strengths become weak as a result of war, there is one common enemy vulturing on the other side of the border to finish them off. So, as far as war is concerned, Barre Hiraale's mission would only isolate him even from his kinsmen, because they do not find it necessary to engage in unprodctive war in Kismayo, that is when they can secure more than war can offer through peaceful means. The Courts on the other side have shown a great deal of willingness to negotiate with reer Gedo and, Insha-Allah, an agreement would be forged in the near future. Kismayona waa la wada leeyahay waana la wada qaybsan doona, haduu Alla idmo - cid ka xigto reer Gedo ayaanba jirin run ahaantii. PS: I forgot to mention, I will try to find out the correctness of this news, Insha-Allah.

^^ I know, it is indeed a cause for celebration. This is the opposite of AllPuntland reports: Beerxaani (AllPuntland)- Saraakiil ka tirsan ciidamda Col. Barre Aadan Shire (Barre Hiiraale) ayaa waxa ay shaaca ka qaadeen in habeennimadii xalay degaanka Beer xaani uu dagaal ka dhacay kaasoo dhex maray maxkamadaha magaalada Muqdisho iyo ciidamo taageersan Col. Barre Hiiraale. Saraakiishani ayaa waxa ay shaaca ka qaadeen in dagaalkaasi kaga dhaawacmeen dad gaaraya 3 ka mid ah ciidamdooda ku sugnaa deegaankaasi Beerxaani.

Hello people, would like to share a piece I've chopped down some weeks ago. All those who visit my blog might have read it there. But for the rest of you - I hope you enjoy it. It is a light-hearted attempt at an Ode, so don't be offended please . An Ode to a Xalimo (Bless your heart) Thy wafting scent of femininity is sweetest, When my nostrils’ crave is well pleasured; By that Dirac whose exposure is measured, By the perfumes spread when wind is fleetest Thy figure, my dear, natural elements revere Thy feet wherever they tread is the sphere, Neither hateful eye nor evil ear comes near That is the sort of good Xalimo you’re, my dear Now gallop before me like a horse, to and fro Sway those hips, darling, as far as they can go Burn that incense to the coal till I supplicate That my lungs with your uunsi would suffocate O’ Xalimo though art like an ‘Anjero blessed That I consumeth with a heart’s full delight Gratitude is to thee, for delicious foods I bite And forgive me for yelling when I am stressed

^^ I think it is best in kaas dhagta dhiiga loo daro. There is no use having such characters around children. The sooner he is disposed off like contegious compost, the better.

What? An 11 year old? Whats going on in the world, babies are having their own babies.

We'll see, we will indeed see where your excitements end up.

^^ Don't kid yourselves.

Horn: That infact Barre was fair... Horn my brother, is it me or is there an oxymoron in that short semi-sentence of yours? Lol. How can a Warlord be a Warlord, and yet be fair? Is it like the Honourable Thieft? Or the Noble Lie, or indeed the Savage Noble kinda thing? Adiguun bal naga dhaadhici sida uu 'Dagaal Ooge' hadana Xaq Soore ku noqon karayo sxb? Teeda kale, I thought Xiin and infact Xoogsade and I were in support of the Courts even before Kismayo was in the context of discussion?

Four Children Found Dead, Father Tells Police He Killed Them Oct 6, 2006 05:26 PM (LOUISVILLE, Ky.) -- Four children were found dead Friday morning in a public housing complex in Louisville after a man walked into police headquarters and told detectives he had killed his family. A woman was found injured in the apartment at the Iroquois Homes complex, said police Lt. Col. Philip Turner. She was being treated at a city hospital for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries, Turner said. The family appeared to be of Somali descent, and volunteer translators were assisting police, he said. The children appeared to be 8 years old or younger, Turner said. He did not disclose the types of injuries that the children suffered. "There are a whole lot of questions of the why," Turner said. "We don't have a clue right now of the why." Police had taped off a large section of the street in front of and around the apartment complex. Several officers and an evidence technician truck were at the scene as dozens of residents looked on as they stood behind the police tape. (Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.) -- Allaahu manajinaa! This is tragedy upon tragedy. What can drive a father to take the lives of his own children? I don't know, but after getting to know the disputes that occur between Somali husbands and wives, it is not difficult that either parent could be driven to such inhumane and out of character acts.

* Haad geed waayey sow lagama dhigin hadura gaabgaabti. * Himbiriirsi iyo waan la rabay hogasha ceebeede. * Ka huleele Xamar aakhirana howl kalaa sugiye. Go, Abshir .

Xiin, it is freaky how we posted almost similar first sentences, at once that is.

^^Indeed a reason for optimism. Caution is always best and the Courts seem to be doing alright. Similar to Horn, I hope the Courts would usher in needed peace, law and order.

OLOL: Somalis of good nature and good will are flocking into Mogadishu from all corners of the lands Somalis reside: from Harar (the great Mufti of that city is in Mogadishu), from Hargeisa & Burco (a delegation from the University of Hargeisa and the a dozen of prominent Ulemma from Burco led by two great Sheikhs are in Mogadishu). OLOL, did you watch Universal TV few days ago, with Somalis from London and other European cities having fun in Jaziira beach? Women and children having a day out on a picnic and men playing football on the sandy beach. That was a beautiful sight to see, after 16 years.

^^Let him. You are witnessing the desperation of a wounded and defeated clannist . Post. Post. Post, Old Boy.

Aah! Now they brought with them not only peace, but employment too.

Er...lady, the venue? Where's the eating is gonna be happenin'?
