Deeq is an innocent soul trying to figure out the best ways to help his nation. I understand the situation he is in.

lool. What is wrong with his voice?

I am torn on this one. Part of me tells me it would be a great idea, but I not so sure. Perhaps we should wait for President Culusow to leave office and things may get better.

Welcome to SOL Ngonge.

Where is our sweetheart Saffers? She has so many stories and insight into Oromia Bafeena afan Wisha.

I am a fan of Cowke. He has a golden voice.

I heard from family members that if you eat ostrich meat, you are considered a baseborn in Somalia.

I met an old Somalilanders who fought in the 1977 Ethiopia-Somalia war. We had lunch together at an Ethiopian restaurant in the Washington DC area. After a long drawn out conversation about DC area matters, we switched the conversation to Somali civil war, clans, etc. This is how he concluded the conversation.

If Somalis arrived in Chigago in 1915, they have disappeared into the American melting pot and no longer exist as an ethnic group.

“If you wrote a letter to God and asked him for the best soil and climate conditions for farming, this is what he’d send you,” says Miguel Bosch, an Argentine agronomist who manages Hoyo Hoyo, a nearly 25,000-acre corporate soybean farm in northern Mozambique. “It is a paradise for growers. I’ve spent many years farming in Brazil and Argentina and have never seen such soil.” Not only the fertile land, but generally Portugese colonies in Africa seem more stable, prosperous and forward-looking than the average non-Portuguese colonies in Africa?

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Are you Barawaani Mr Holac? I like Baraawe and its native people (not the post 1991 settlers) :-D Yes and No.

^^ lol. Are you serious?

I don't think this is true. Nobody else is reporting it.

Excuse me for the hyperbole, but why do Somalis always have to comment on any picture someone posts? I have non Somali friends, and they don't do that. Their favorite comments on any topic? 1. waaw, mashalah 2. looool 3. kixkixkix I don't get it. They don't say much or have any debates. It is either greetings (salaan) or waaw or kixkixkix.

Xabad, why is this a joke.? Do you not see the hypocrisy? What do you call an American jew who enlists in the IDF and fights for a foreign country (Isreal) on the basis of religious ethnicity? A jihadist? A loyal jew? A freedom fighter? A "lone soldier"

This was an inspiration and something that I have carried within me since coming back How long did you stay there?

Xabad hates Islam so much he will always find an excuse to bash the muslims. Edit: original comment was meant for the other topic.

Thanks for the good news in a week full of a depressing stories. It is time this government does something, instead of being defensive in the face of Al-shabab onslaught.

Adam, I have never heard of any Somalis in Syria after the war. I thought they all went to Turkey?

Khayr, if eating Khat can stop a young Somali kid from turning into a bomb, wouldn't that be great? I agree with you that we have a corrupt government and we should work hard to get rid of these buffet-eating belly-giants, but we are talking about kids being turned into suicide bombers, not some ideal youth activism.

Cubano, you like cigars? lool. Somalia captured hundreds of Cuban communist fighters during the 1977 war. My father told me that the Cubans fighters were physically so out of shape and fat, that Somalis used to called them naasdheer meaning Cubans with "long breasts". Why did Castro send mercenaries that were so out of shape to fight against the lean, mean Somalis?
