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?

^^ 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 backHow 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?

What a shameless man. He should be telling the Mogadishawis to watch out for the terrorists and assassins and work with the security forces instead of trying to instigate a repeat of the 1991 massacre in Mogadishu.Daahir Alas is a clanist demagogue always blaming someone else for the problems at his doorstep.

Deeq, calm down saxiib. You don't have to get worked up on something you have no control of.

We can't ignore that clan politics is at the center of the country's problems.

It is time . [Culusoow] Ha ina dhaafo.These are the words of our resident scholar - Mr. Galbeedi.
The few words above are simple, yet carry deep meaning and depth. For Galbeedi, the quintessential optimist, to utter those words, it shows you how resigned he is to the fate that we, as Somali people, have hit bottom.
I don't know whether I should be sad or celebrate.

Allah u naxareesto Saado Cali Warsame.
They say when it rains, it pours. We hit bottom.

AMISOM has not served us well. AMISOM has been a complete failure. Pray for AMISOM's rapid departure.

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