    ^ Nomadic society has an aversion to physical or manual work of any sort. Tanners and metal smiths are looked down upon as
    Midgo
    and ostracized. My Grandfather almost got disowned by his clan for making his family leather shoes.

     

    Tinkerers and mechanics have been weeded out of the gene pool, what remains are mechanically illiterate men with soft ladylike hands who can't figure out the simplest DIY tasks.

    That is how we got some of our clan names like:

    1. Biyo-maal - fisherman

    2. Muruq-maal - labourer

    3. Tu-maal - blacksmith

    4. Soo-maal - nomad

    Before the advent of the accursed clan system, this was the Somali civilisation's socio-economic caste system. Basically, the nomads out-bred all the other groups and therefore took over the land subjugating the rest in the process. The skilled groups eventually became the dispised tiny minority.

    The usual feminine ululation of one of our resident hapless habros of SOL is duly noted in here...?

     

    Tallaabo, why do you wanna throw homeboy Xabad under the bus like dat... you petty rapscallion you...?

    Ninka qabiil u mashaxaradayaa waa adiga. I have simply stated the obvious facts that unlike xabad's meaningful arguments you keep regurgitating the puntite clan line which is fooling no one but your deluded lot. You guys think that we are still in the post independence years when the HAG clan's once apolitical nature allowed you have more say in Somali affairs than you actually deserve.

    OMG!! i had the weirdest dream. wait for this......TRUE STORY.

     

    i WON the
    Nobel Peace price
    . i was shocked in being nominated and eventually clinching the price. the nominees were all very successful.

     

    ....but as usual, there was some controversy surrounding my success and some folks were claiming i wasn't worthy because i apparently rigged the process. it was at this time, the dream ended.

     

    they sabotaged me.

     

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    Who were the other successful nominees? Holac? Xabad? Che?

    Easy with the generalization, dude. If you were describing Xamar and or any southern cities in their heydays, yes people then were more civil and openminded toward clan than their northern counterparts, but those glory days are behind us. Xamar may have passed the days of butchering people based on their clan (90s), but when it comes to clan, Somalis of today are all in the same shtyy boat. You may not be asked about your clan on Mogadishu's streets, but clan fever is as alive in Xamar as in anywhere in Somalia. Ilaa Somali ka baxdo magaalo reer hebel aa iska leh, lama bislaan...ha lagu waydiiyo qabiil ama yaan lagu waydiin..

    You spoke the truth.

    I forgot to mention about tribal divide...

     

    As I explained many times on my posts, our national policy is "state building" as well as "nation building". There is no discrimination on Turkish investments, scholarships, policies on tribal base. We have many PL,SL and JL students in our country. On Turkish schools and oprhanages there are kids from all tribes.

     

    Turkiye is mediating diplomatically between federal states. There is much progress on this respect. As far as I know, poorly equipped and trained SL militia will receive these military trainings as well which was agreed. JL already committed to be a part of Somalia national army. etc etc...

    Your statements could not be farther from the truth. I don't know where you are getting your information from Mr Bosmanoglu but Turkish aid outside Mogadishu is next to non-existant. Although the people of Somaliland will always be grateful to those who help them no matter how small such assistance is, Turkey is not in the minds of the people in SL when it comes to aid. I go to SL all the time and I know what I am talking about. For Somaliland, the Europeans and Americans are more important and trusted partners than the Turks. The only thing the people of Somaliland knew about Turkish involvement in our country were those useless mediation talks between SL and Somalia which were hosted by the Turkish government and which were abandoned when the Mogadishu government made a mockery of it.

    Saalaxoow in this thread you are heaping praise on a woman who spent her entire working life among the Bantus and had been Bantuized to the extent that even her English accent is now officially Bantu. Where as on another thread you disrespected and accused Dahabshiil of financing terror when everyone knows that it is Dahabshiil and not Amina who served and is still serving the Somali people through the bad and good times.

    Ilayn qabyaaladu waa cudur

    wara Tallaabo,

     

    weli ma nooshahay? i thought you would've hanged yourself by now. lol

     

    inaar, i'm not in Hargeisa anymore. i left a while back back. im now in Atlanta, Georgia. i moved here almost 5 months ago now. i always wanted to move to America and its been really great so far. we had a get together for new year's, it was ok. hope you had a great time.

     

    i saw that terrible fire sxb on the news. some 16 people were apparently hurt. i was very surprised to see it, they finally slipped up, the UAE. maybe, like you say, it was divine intervention. although, one of my friends was saying it was because the Burj Al-Arab and Burj Al-Khalifa flew the French flag after the Paris Attacks. lol.

    - ignore the top pic.

    Inaar I am not that depressed to consider hanging myself, I always see the bright side of life markaa aniga ha iga warwarin.

    What are you doing in Atlanta saaxiib, could you not find a better place on planet earth?

    I have this mental image of Atlanta as a city which had seen white middle class flight in the latter halve of the last century and as a result is now left with drug peddling, gun wielding, women teasing black men for a population.

    We have to do some soul searching. We do not like the way the old man is running the government and the system is regressive, backward and tribal. We have to confront the "Habro", in different way , maybe in a non violent ways.

    I priase the Lord for showing you some of the light. Unlike the daydreamers in the diaspora, the locals in Awdal understand that a lot of the "habros" are just as unhappy and frustrated with the corrupt backward tribal system as anyone else. The local awdalites understand that by starting an uprising based on clan, they would not make any positive change but would instead perpetuate the problems.

    Waaryaa Alpha, sideebaa caasimada looga dabaaldegay oo loogusoo dhaweeyay sannadka cusub. Have you seen the tower inferno in Dubai? Thanks to that untimely accident a lot of eagerly anticipated one night stands due to happen in that hotel were cancelled. But I admire the spirit of the Dubai ruler, for him a minor nuisance like a major fire will not get in the way of his grand party.
