Its certainly a challenge every morning! Puts your brain in good working order for the long day ahead!

I think i will go through Djibouti to add their stamp (to my SL passport) to a growing collection which so far includes Burco iyo Hargaisa airports

The Islamic factor is there, sure..why else would they do it? But please God, not in my own backyard by my own people. The thought was making me feel physically sick. True, i was scared witless last week on the trains, now i have to do it all again, but now ppl will focus on me rather than the Asian guy listening to his ipod! Yes, Muslims are under the microscope more than ever before but so are Somalis (the invisible community as one columnist called us). Just glad i'm leaving soon Good luck :cool:

check this one out>>>>> http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2005050000-2003410031,00.html What an embarrassment to all Somalis, their families. Imagine their families watching those TV pictures last night and how they felt.

A group of Sikhs were recently arrested in New York and handcuffed in the middle of the street. The Americans can't even tell the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim. looooooool

looooool

Yes, I think we've handled it well so far. No country has been invaded as a result yet Dont speak to soon, waa la-inoo tashanayaaye,,,,, Politically-Inclined, you should see the amount of police on the streets and at all the stations :eek:

From the day Dukaanki Budh & Toorina uu Hargeisa u soo guuray, we knew reer Burco were up to something lool dont forget the faash! Suldaan to Gediid: I presume you are from the I.Q. clan, east Hargeisa is an IQ area? waa rageedi!

^^true we are also discussing the economy Only if I get free room and board whenever I'm in Hargeisa Thats a question for a Hargaisaawi to answer

Demolish party wall - new entrance

^are you willing to paint?

^^ i class that as hassle

An exhuasted topic. Its only natural for one to post smething on Somaliland with the intension of creating yet another negative topic with all that is going on in Somalia right now not being of a positive nature. Whats this, balancing the books Wiil Duco?

Quiet Storm It has been a really strange atmosphere on the tube lately, alot of worried faces who seem to check who is carrying a rucksack, who is waring a beard, who is not white basically. But your a Londoner, so just get on with it. I have'nt carried a bag since 7/7, I dont need the hassle, i dont need the looks, i dont need the paranoia. Bisinka qabso each morning and start from the back page

No, but reer Burco in Hargeisa jeex ayaga dhisteen maanad ogayn? Specialy the Red Sea and Jigjigayar suburbs. I know saxib, didnt think we was gonna miss all the action did you . You mean at the bottom of hill that leads up to cidaacada? The area is also knows as burcaan ka-imi Brings back gr8 memories, i remeber watching a Liverpool vs Arsenal one January night in the Somaliland Cinema, what an atmosphere, the support was split 50-50, Liverpool made it 2-2 in the last minute Stoic, you a very right, there is not enough of an alround tourist scene and ppl who go to visit will stay with family 99% of the time unless they UN associated staying for a few days/weeks. If i had that sort of money i would think twice about building a hotel. One thing i have noticed is the thrivin building industry (with a few hik-ups when the dollar is down) even though otel building is mostly where the money s spent. This keeps general labourers/engineers employed.

Ma reer Burco ayaad ahayd? They build mostly in that area Oo ma rear Burcaa disey? I like the red,green and white colours not sure what the external facade is but those black lines reduce its aesthetic-ness some what. I like the canopies over the entrance areas and the Juliet varandas. The locals will be glad if a number of their jobless fella get something to make their hads busy there. And who knows they might even one day afford a night there too True

waa laqabtey waa laqabtey http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4720027.stm

^^ I no longer have to make the long drive to Star or Sacadiin Supermarkets for my shopping Maybe not, but shopping in H-Town is also about going downtown and admiring the atmosphere associated with it. If you live near the new hotel, you will no doubt get a few discounts here and there . Once i visit and if your there, yaana lagu waayin :cool:

I oppose the occupation of Iraq. I opposed the Iraq war and thought it an imperialistic war to further the interests of the United States. However, my opposition to that war, my anger at the treatment of the Iraqis and my total fury at the impotence of the Islamic world shall not cloud my judgment and lead me to compromise my own principles, :cool:

Kashafa, on the point about listening to our Imams/Sheiks, i take it you actually go to Friday prayers and listen? :confused: Seems as though we going in circles here. We have one who is justifying the attacks based on an electoral system of democracy (which is not a Sheria) and condones the killing of innocents (again wrong according to Sheria/Islamic Laws) and thinks ppl will actually take him seriously :rolleyes: Then there is the debate of War Rules vs Terrorism Rules. Again, the jutification of the killing of innocents on a transport system is being compared to that of a 'known' attack (ie war). Yes both are wrong. But one is/was aimed at Govnt buildings/milatary targets/strategic infrastructure with aim of bringing the Iraqi govnt down and trying to avoid the deaths of civlians (yes at least they tried to avoid the deaths) and the other was aimed the London tranport system aiming to kill innocent ppl. Thought i would just like to highlight the basics/developments of this thread. My debating is done! goes to bang his head on another brick wall

The mis-education of our yourth today ey :rolleyes: Killing civilians is wrong and can not be excused away by the nature of the ‘struggle’ Simply put for simple ppl! Haddad and Kashafa, i just cant see you two packing your bags and fighting in Iraq for some reason :confused: Save us your misinformed 'palava' and take your views to Iraq if all you do is justify/excuse and condone innocents dying (spelling). The UK govnt is to blame for Iraq, not the majority of ppl who were against it. These are facts you should before posting your 'illness' here. One wonders if you actually listen to our Imams/shieks at all :confused: If so, then why do you have these views? Do you believe your views are correct under Islamic/Sheria laws? If so, how??? Please answer the questions above in as much detail as possible and do not avoid it. If you do (avoid them), i will no longer engage in any discussion with yourself due to the 'simple' fact that you are arguing for the sake of it!

there is likely to be a lengthy enquiry in due course, those found guilty will be punished and justice will be seen to have been fulfilled The inquest will last no longer than a week, the officer(s) who did the shooting will NOT be punished due to the basic facts that he followed protocol of shooting suicide bombers in the head when there is a threat (due to the current circumstaces, the officer shot him because he ran away when told to stop and that he was wearing a puffer jacket in the middle of summer)that enough to shoot someone by The Met Police Rules(however unfortunate), allah yarxama to the diceased. I dont blame the police, they did not create this period of tense un-certainty, they did not create this environment we all have to live in, they did not create the suspicion of all muslims in the capital. It is all down the cowardly attacks 2 weeks agon and the failed attempts this weak. We have had muslims killed in bombs, killed by the po-po and many arrests. Those who sypathise/support must review their stance. True it was expected to happen but that doesnt make it a war against a govnt who invaded Iraq. Just look at Sharm Al Sheik today, is this a war against a Govnt or innocent ppl? Bl**dy cowards!
