An Enlightment age was named so because : a) Led by Europeans (whites) b) It was freedom from the shackles of God aka Religion. By the way, Tallabo and others - what is your obsession with jews? They were always displaced people until they were given Palestenian land due to the holy-cost. As if the massacres were committed by the Palestianens and not the Nazis. They have always argued with God and have been a people that have betrayed many. The modern world feels a sense of guilt for them and hence, they always use the jew card. As they say - the jew card never runs out of use. They are are the main financers in Hollywood and the media and are deeply entranched in American politics. It does not make them smarter but rather more cunning and cut throat. After all, most lawyers are jewish. They can manipulate anything for their own cause. You are contradicting yourself. If the Jews are not smart they would not be as cunning and cut throat to the extent of taking over the entire Western world.

While the Somalis in Kenya were being massacred, raped, and humiliated, Afwayne and his D block henchmen were busy plotting against their own people in the North. No wonder the South is now the playground of all sorts of foreign mercenaries and terrorists. Politicians from the South lack not only morals but are also deprived of brains.

Only to those who ascribe to a certain Baconite definition of progress. Sure, the material progress of the modern world makes life easier. Yet, look around. Observe the degradation of life itself. Loss of values, destruction of the family unit, rampant drug use, massacres, suicides, greedy business practices, oppression, etc etc. Some people do not call that progress. They identify material progress for what it is, a distraction from and a placation for the assault on traditional values. Also, understand the flow of history, intellectual and scientific advancements never stop. They just transfer from one people to another over the course of millenia. In essence, there is no new discovery, only improvements. Don't fall victim to the Western man's history lessons. History didn't start with the enlightenment and it will not end with Facebook. Those 'dark ages' are so called because it was the dark-er man who was making progress What do the Jewish people have to do with the evils you mentioned? Almost in every society they live, the Jews occupy the upper echelons of the social hierarchy. They are the professionals, leaders, and the brains of their host society. Sadly, it is mostly the Somalis and other Muslims who are have become synonymous with gang violence, thieving, fraud, drug trafficking, prostitution, suicide bombing, terrorism, and family breakdown. The Jews on the other hand bring up their children in the best possible manner, give them the best education, morals, and the confidence to become the next generation of entrepreneurs, scholars, and leaders. Even in the middle ages when the Muslim world was making huge scientific and social progress, the Jews were playing a major part of that Islamic enlightenment. Back then they were are also the advisers to Sultans, the doctors, the bankers, the traders, teachers, and scientists. If you think the Jews are affected by the social ills you mentioned, how come they are the leaders of the world and the most powerful ethnic group? Brother, drug addicts and those brought up in broken homes don't achieve the material and intellectual success the Jews have achieved and continue to achieve.

A quick revision of our history will show you how the Somalilanders have humiliated their own president Abdul Rahman Tuur (Alle ha u naxariisto) when he dared to flirt with Mogadishu and you are talking about a woman who is nobody in Somaliland.

Oh I saw the admin's post now. Thanks for the update.

This crazy woman should just quietly loot what is left of the charity money in koonfuria's central bank with the prolific looters in the scene and leave Somaliland alone.

Is SOL hacked or is it falling apart? Something has been wrong with this website for a while now and it just got worst today. Please give us some update and news admin.

There's especially an issue because she has two young children who are 3 and 5 years old. My cousin has never been married, never been in any sort of relationship, he's well-educated and a practicing Muslim. He has all the qualities that women would want in a potential spouse. And he's fallen for this woman due to her charming personality and her good looks. She herself is also well-educated. She's 1 year younger than he is (27 years old) When he first told me about his interest in this lady, I was 100% in favor for it, and I still am. She's absolutely fantastic. But many of the people are opposed to this, and they think it's "unfair" for the man to be with a woman who was divorced with kids, while he himself has never been in a relationship What do you think? How do I go about convincing the others to go ahead with this engagement? Tell your cousin to follow his heart. He should politely urge anyone who interferes in his private life to mind their own business.

A slow-moving tropical storm pounded the Somalia coast this weekend, a rare hit for the war-torn country that killed more than 100 people and devastated coastal communities. The unnamed tropical storm made landfall on Sunday (Nov. 10) north of Eyl in the Puntland state, a semiautonomous region that typically receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain every year. The storm, designated Tropical Cyclone 03A, was forecast to dump a year's worth of rain on Puntland this week and hit the shore with winds of 46 mph (74 km/h). Weak storms such as Cyclone 3A can wreak havoc along the arid African coast because they trigger flash floods, said Amato Evan, an atmospheric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. "Even a very weak storm can cause huge damage and loss of life in this area," Evan told LiveScience. "In an area that doesn't receive a lot of rainfall in general, a storm that moves very, very slowly and dumps a lot of rain in one place for a long time can be particularly deadly." The Puntland government said preliminary information indicates that homes, buildings, boats and entire villages have been destroyed and more than 100,000 livestock lost, endangering the livelihoods of tens of thousands of local people. Evan said only one or two tropical cyclones strike Somalia every decade, but records only go back for about 30 years. However, the intensity of storms in the Arabian Sea appears to be increasing due to aerosol pollution. (Aerosols are very tiny particles or droplets that result from burning wood or dung, car exhaust and natural sources such as trees.) Though the warm Arabian Sea is fertile ground for birthing tropical storms, budding weather systems rarely strengthen into powerful cyclones because of the region's prevailing wind shear conditions. During the monsoon season, strong winds blow eastward near the ocean surface and westward higher in the atmosphere, Evan explained. "The wind shear makes the Arabian Sea a hostile environment for storms to form," Evan said. "That kind of change in wind direction can tear a storm apart." But Evan and his colleagues discovered that rising aerosol pollution, which blocks incoming sunlight, has weakened the Arabian Sea's wind pattern. Without the destructive winds, cyclones are growing stronger, according to the researchers' study, published Nov. 2, 2011, in the journal Nature. "We don't have the evidence to say the storms are becoming more frequent, but their intensity is getting stronger," Evan said. http://www.sott.net/article/268647-Deadly-rare-tropical-cyclone-hits-Somalia

The current cyclone as reported by NASA. Watch the similarities. http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/3a-north-indian-ocean/

The typhoon which has devastated Puntland in the last couple of days is in a series of weather systems forecasted by NASA and all originating in the waters of the Indian ocean off our coast. The link below shows the 2010 cyclone which hit the same region was very similar to the current one indicating that a disturbing pattern is indeed developing.
