Can you guys make out the Dubai-Berbera line? Ease of movement is the key to development. People need to get to markets and markets need to get to people.

I can see you as Jamal's point man in a few years. I know you have good connections there now ee make the most of them ma garatay?

The admin need to be petitioned to close this thread.

The ngos hide behind noble goals but some only recruit christians. The missonary drive in africa has succeeded in places like Nigeria. Governments should be wary and implement measures to put a stop to it.

^lol I'm trying to bring him back. He has been abducted by another site.

Shokshoki followed by macsuub with cream for breaky. Beat that JB

A sad situation. How will things ever change when its ALWAYS a case of 'wax qabso' instead of compromise for the common good. Whats even worse is that the qurbo joog intellects as well as the uneducated don't seem to want to compromise.

Loool nuune Where did that happen then? Swaziland or Peru?

^You're talking rubbish.

Does Frasier still come on? Everryone seems to want to leave UK. Ana I want to come back. Afternoon all

Nin Yaaban, just watched it. It was recorded by Somalis by the sounds of it. You can hear "oo gaadhiga maxaa xagaa geeyey"

Shady charaters? What shady characters? What have they been preaching? Where?

Terrible thread

The facebook jail let you go miya?

I feel sick. Apparently the EDL are mobilising.

Waad na daaliseene macasalaama

I do enjoy picking up on Ngonge's af somali mistakes

^Saxib, I'm saying they need to be patient and stop this whole seyf la bood iyo hadaany nahay hebel hebel based on information that no one can actually prove/disprove. Its a position of Somalia aniga weeye iyo anigaa Somalia ah. How will the country move forward with all thise nonsense every year? NGONGE;953491 wrote: ^^ Somaliland's war finished in 1991. Somalia's war is still ongoing. The disputes are the same, the explanations are the same, the mistrust the same. Don't you ever get waylaid by the (necessary) "nation building" guff that we tell each other in Somaliland. At the bottom of it all, the idea is the same. We broke away because we believe it not to be in our interest to be part of Somalia. Those opposing Hassan Sheikh believe it not to be in their interest to support his government today. Dee its the 'basis' for the changing interests that can't be compared. Wax fahan ninyow.

Wyre af soomaaligiisu wu hagaagsanyahay. Never heard of Qhandiifo saxib. Ma kalmad baa mise waa xaaji casiir twisting Somali words again?

Wax cusub maad ii sheegin saxib. I'm still wondering how all this compares with Somaliland wanting to breakaway. One position was taken in the aftermath of a civil war (and hasn't changed) and the other is one of party (clan) politics (which has changed). That the government has done this or not done that isn't entirely clear. Until it is made absolutely clear, they really don't have much to shout home about. Hanging your hat on something that isn't entire clear only shows clan is number one and not country. As for Somaliland, it's position is based on what happened in a war and not on finger pointing and clan politics. One can't compare the two positions.

Qandhiifo? Afternoon beebal. Sayidka bal waran saxib.

Isn't that what happened to Somaliland in 1991? I see its coconuts and pears now Sheikh Sharif's term was for how long? 4 Years? Are you comparing less than 1 year to 4 years? Naga daa dee. All I'm saying is that those who oppose Hassan today are being unreasonable. I may see it as reasonable after 4 years if he fails. At the moment, its still early days. He hasn't failed. Early days require patience and listening (a broken country needs to be rebuilt). If the 'nationalists' don't want to be patient or don't want to listen to the government, they're being unreasonable. There you go bringing Somaliland into it again
