  2. Don’t tell me, you’re atheism kicked in on the plane Ah, as expected, you’re talking from a western/atheistic perspective. Based on this perspective you’ve cooked up a rather simplistic conclusion without considering what is considered a ‘problem’ for ‘Muslim’ Somalis. The statement was: Theirs a lot worse to come for the somali community in the west, drug addicts, atheists, homosexuals and half breeds, so just don't be surprised. Now, if I was to employ more of a realistic assessment of his statement above it would be: 1. Drug addiction, losing one’s faith and homosexuality are seen as problems by Muslims 2. Mixed race marriages are not seen as a problem by Muslims 3. Pregnancy out of wed-lock is a problem for Muslims (which is probably what he was getting at) 4. Somalis are of the Islamic faith (ie Muslims). Why I said it would be difficult to argue against his statement is because: 1. Drug use/abuse (hard and soft drugs) is more prevalent in western societies. You could argue about the high levels of qaad use in Somalia I suppose. 2. The problem of losing one’s faith is more likely to occur in the west than in Somalia. 3. Pregnancy out of wed-lock is more of a problem for Somalis in the west than it is for Somalis in Somalia. There are no stats to verify the above but then again you’re his proof on point 2 (whether or not you consider it a problem is irrelevant)

Do you possibly agree with him regarding the relationship between drug addiction , Atheism, Homosexuality, and being of mixed races? I'll take that as a yes to my question then The only relationship he made between the said terms is that Somalis are more likely to be drug addicts, athiests, homosexuals and of mixed race in the west as opposed to if they lived in Somalia. Ma runtii baa? It would be hard to argue against it.
  4. ^Did you become an Athiest in the west? Are YOU proof he is right? lol@concrete Pirates. Originality not a Somali trait I know.
  5. Didn't see the game but I see the Chelski fans are in here today Martin Akinson is a poor ref and should not officiate big games. He has been poor all season.
  6. The New President of Egypt Rumbling through his belongings to make sure he had packed everything, he stopped for a moment and thought to himself “this time tomorrow I will be on a street in Cairo enjoying watching beautiful chaos, conversing in the language of the land and….”. Thud! “What the…?” “Warya, what are you doing? I told you not to play football in the house” he said to his youngest who replied “dee Aabo I want to be like Steven Gerrard”. “Waar Stephen Gerrard laheeynin’e its time for bed. Besides, I have a plane to catch so take care of your mother and sisters. You’re the man of the house for the next week” Says the father with a hug. “Does that mean I can watch cartoons whenever I want”? Asks the son. “No” says the father trying to hide his obvious amusement. “It means you must behave as I won’t be around to take your side” hoping the young one would get the message. On that note he puts his son to bed, says his goodbyes and makes his way to the station to get on the Piccadily line for Heathrow Airport. On his way he starts to think of people’s reactions when he told them he was going to Egypt. His family members thought he was mad, his friends thought he needs his usual Arab holiday and was probably getting a good deal. Who would be on the plane anyway? Will he be flying it himself? How will he be treated once there? Can he walk the streets freely? All these thoughts have been playing on his mind since booking through Thomson. As the train pulled up at Green Park, he noticed a Post Office advert for passport renewals. Passport! Passport! He checks his pockets frantically. Left, no. Right, no. Back right, no. Back left, no. Damn. Jacket side pockets, no. Jacket inside pocket, YES! YES! Relief came over him until he noticed people were looking at him in a strange way. He composes himself and continues reading his usual copy of The [Tory] Times. Not long now he thought to himself as the train traveled briefly over ground exposing the land he was about to leave before it went underground again at the airport. Ah! Terminal 3. The flight was smooth and eerily quiet which meant he could get some shut eye. As he snoozed he started murmuring to himself in Arabic. The guy next to him could not help but hear what he was saying in his sleep. He heard: Waaxid tufaaxateyn wa shay nacnac min fadlik The old man couldn’t contain his laughter and accidentally awoke his fellow passenger. Startled, he looked around and found there was nothing to laugh at as he turned towards his fellow passenger who couldn’t hide his grin whilst reading. “What are you planning to do when you get to Cairo” asked the old man. “Nothing. I just want to enjoy the city.” Replied the then next President of Egypt. A few minutes later the plane lands at Cairo International.
  7. look at what this government achieved in the six months it has been in power we can clearly see that progress is actually being made. This is not about red carpets in Djibouti or Addis (though the symbolism has its own significance). This is about the increase in the salaries of civil servants, the payment of debts and the undertaking of countless projects. If the argument was about starting as they meant to go on, the facts today show that they started really well. ^^^Africaown, read the above sorry off topic

None of us can speak for this movement or say that we some how now the truth about what they are fighting for......ALL we can do is listen to what their press releases are - I am pretty sure the numerous Somali flags waving on the streets of Buhoodle is proof that this is about anti-secessionism from Somalia. The SSC has been crystal clear, that they have no intention of being part of a region that wants to break-away from Somalia. So if people want to speak about what the Hargeysa admin or Puntland admin is talking about than by all means do it, but only the SSC and it's supports can speak for the freedom fighters. So we can just stop accusing the SSC of having ulterior motives or interpret what they are sayign differently. The fact ballot boxes were refused, the interviews with international media etc etc. We can accuse them of fighting over a lack of resources or whatever conspiracy theories. Yet, the Freedom and Justice group - SSC has made it no secret! They want to remain part of Somalia. Where did this war start? When? What happened to ignite it? Where did the mediation take place before it kicked off again? Who was involved in the mediation? Clan elders? Web warriors and siyaasiyaal made it anti SL (ie political).
  14. Just watched this on NatGeo. Can you jump over a camel? No? These guys can jump over 4!
  15. Ibti With all that said I think the current SSC situation (though everyone wants to build it up and use it for its own agenda (SL & SSC) is nothing more than the usual yearly fights of reer miyi over shortage of resources, with the rain failing, lack of water and grazing land, that area will always result in clashes in dry season. It seriously needs some sort of plan for the nomads during the dry seasons so that families are not forced into these situations. I know people like to claim the lines are clear cut, but those sub clans have lived together so long and so in each other’s business that its really nephews killing their uncles and uncles killing the nephews.; in time the families would've sorted this out amongst the reer miyi, I don't see why a new problem over resources which involves the sub sub sub clan of the jeclo people has become part of the old SL vs SSC. The idea of building situations up so that they look bigger and more deadly is really counterproductive and just increases the fear mongering among the communities. Indeed. This war wasn't about politics. It was about barkado la isku qabsaday back in Nov/Dec 2010. That is the way ordinary people back home see it first and foremost. Internet foot soldiers baa ka dhigay an anti SL war.
