looool. The Chinese government is really pathetic. The communists gather a bunch of nincompoops wearing Islamic kufis and forced them to munch on a big meal to demonstrate that people have honored government's directive and are not fasting. Big fail!!!!!!!

Is this another magac u yaal district? These districts don't have a meaning anymore.

Dr. Kenney, Xaaji is not bad at all. To me, Xaaji Xunjuf is an intelligent guy who strongly supports his fiefdom. As far as Puntland goes, A friend once bragged to me that Puntland is bankrupt and I dismissed it as one of his usual Somaliland bravado, but I am beginning to believe there is something wrong here. Why isn't Puntland paying its army? The army should be the first ones to be paid from any taxes collected. Abdiwali is always in the news traveling, where does that travel money come from and what is he doing abraod?

Coofle, this is usually not a big deal, but when it gets repetitive, it becomes annoying. The sarcasm is the worst.

Galbeedi, well said. It is not even their money bro. They are most likely borrowing this money from creditors because last time I checked Dubai was in debt.

What a sad bunch Somalis have become. We are always in the headlines all for the wrong reasons.

Get married. Why are you still around? Did you get married yet? Are you still looking? Adigu ma guursanaysid weligaa. Arooskagu waa goorma? I am tired of these questions and comments. How do you deal with them?

I hear ya. I thought you went to Brazil to cheer for the US team.

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> InshaAllah Puntland goes through this rough patch. Abdiweli Gaas really needs to think of new ways of raising revenue in his state, including encouraging native Puntlanders to invest and expand businesses in Puntland, which could go a long way in raising tax revenue. Even opening up an online account where the Government of Puntland receives donations from diaspora members can go a long way. 1000 dollar donations from Somalis living in America or Tanzania could help contribute to Puntland's State coffers. Several countries in the world already do this, and maybe Puntland can try this too. Dr. Kenney, the expectation was enormous for Abdi-weli, but he is struggling to do anything. Is it because he inherited a bankrupt state? I am not an expert on Puntland politics, but politics is not kind to the economics professor.

^ That was close. In the end, the Dutch are a better match for the talented Argentina. Costa Rica had a great run though.

Happy Ramadan to you too. Did I read South America? Don't tell me Brazil.

Esther Honig, a freelance journalist based out of Kansas City, sent an unaltered photograph of herself to more than 40 Photoshop aficionados around the world. “Make me beautiful,” she said, hoping to bring to light how standards of beauty differ across various cultures. This is what she looks like initially. After people photo-shoped her, this is what she looks like.

More suffering for me under this Ramadan. Tired, tired, tired.

So what did we learn about Somalia’s war economy? To begin with, Somalia’s urban poor would reap a substantial peace dividend from stable governance in Somalia. However, for the economic (and political) elite there would have been no economic incentive to negotiate an end to the conflict. Instead, elites in cities with a significant aid infrastructure would have gained from torpedoing peace settlements in southern Somalia. The instability in Mogadishu is driven by the business community in Mogadishu. It is not in their interest for Somalia to have peace. Their bottomline will be impacted if governmental institutions take hold. I totally agree.

The best in Somalia so far. Why the gold color? Why didn't they give the building itself a face lift? It has the same doors and windows. They just covered everything with carpet, furniture and paint.

Good point. I don't believe this so-called Caliphate exists in anywhere else except in jihadi poster flyers and home-made videos. It is ridiculous to say the least. However, the western media is parroting a caliphate scare everywhere you look.

The World Cup ended way too soon for many American soccer fans as the U.S. national team suffered a heartbreaking loss to Belgium in the round of 16. That pain was captured by photographers for Getty, AP, and Reuters. If there is one photo that could sum up the pain of the American fans it would have to be this lone fan, dressed as Captain America, and sitting alone at the stadium long after everybody else has left. Getty Images But he wasn't the only fan still at the stadium trying to comprehend what happened. Getty Images And there was this trio. Reuters But the struggle wasn't limited to fans in Brazil. There were also watch parties all over the country, including Redondo Beach, California. Reuters This fan at Bryant Park in New York City needed to be consoled. Reuters Reality was starting to set in with these fans in Kansas City. Reuters And for this fan. Reuters What started out as a celebration ended in agony for so many soccer fans across the country. So now the countdown to Russia in 2018 begins.

Ramadan is actually killing me. I am unable to move this time. I don't know what happened to me.
