  1. I love this video. Don't believe the doom and gloom hype. Please share this with others. Life is getting better everyday for everyday people.
  2. I don't get the message.
  3. Malnourished, sick and displaced child.
  4. <cite> @Safferz said:</cite> I find it varies... some older Somalis are pleased when a diaspora youth can even speak a few words, while others mock youngins who are quite competent in the language (despite never living in or even visited Somalia in most cases) while they themselves have lived 20+ years in Canada without learning proper English.
  5. <cite> @Safferz said:</cite> I don't know why they agreed to a Somali language interview. Pre-recorded ads for Somali TV/radio where they could have read from a script and practiced would have been more wise. Safferz, that would have been the wise decision. Broken Somali is not very popular among the older generation who tend to vote in larger numbers.
  6. Somaliland's progress throughout the last two decades deserves praise and should be celebrated by all Somalis, but it is illegal for Somalis of the North to unilaterally declare independence without the consent of the rest of the country, or its leadership. Scotland and Catalonia both required the Federal government to approve any independence vote.
  7. I think Elman FC is named after Ilwad Elman's father.
  8. Elman FC takes the trophy this year. This is great. Somalia is coming back slowly.
  9. <cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Thankfully, the majority of the world's population and every respectable scientific and medical institution have now come to the inevitable conclusion that homosexuality existed as long as humanity existed and will continue to exist no matter what, is not a disease, is a different variant of the overall human sexuality. Tallaabo, there is little conclusive evidence that homosexuality is genetic. The science to conclusively support such assertion is just not there.
  10. It is strange some Somalis feel the need to rub old wounds with salt by celebrating Siyad's seizure of power when so many people died because of it.
  11. What will be the reaction of the Western donors?
  12. <cite> @Admin said:</cite> Xabad is banned from SOL. Alhamdulilaaaah. This qashin should have been banned long time ago. I have not seen him contribute to SOL anything other than abusive and hateful remarks.
  13. DoctorKenney, this CBS News report was filed just 4 days ago. "Kagame has had "complete impunity to eliminate" his political rivals during his 14 years of rule. Kagame's Rwanda "doesn't look like a democracy," says Davenport."
  14. Rwanda is a beautiful country, but the same issue that contributed to the infamous genocide still exist today. Tutsi control of the political and economic power of the country has doubled since the genocide and the country can descend into violence once again. The West is propping up Kigame as a savior but the Hutus feel marginalized and a Tutsi minority (15% of the total population) still controls the country.
  15. Why is it that the extremist are always targeting minors, specially females. This active recruiting by ISI agents in the West must be exposed and stopped.
  16. I've never heard of them. Good for them. I wouldn't stay in Kenya as well knowing what is happening there.
  17. <cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> until Ebola is controlled. Mr. Johnson keep speaking louder. I agree. Mr. Abdi Johnson keep telling us about the coming Ebola disaster in Somalia. There will be no one left in Somalia if Ebola spreads there because we don't have a fraction of the healthcare infrastructure the West African countries have.
  18. The Sierra Leone Government is the most corrupt. Instead of admitting that a basic protocol has been breached, they change the story and now deny that the soldier was even part of the battalion headed for Somalia. Do they think we are fools? Why doesn't Somali President stop the deployment of these troops?
