GTFOH sxb. You guys are fun! I was given an earful on another thread that clan or clever ways of referring to them are banned. Isn't that so PC? I think we Somalis are hypocrites, we all belong to clans and ain't nothing wrong with that. As long as I or my clan are not encroaching on other peoples right who gives a rat's a$$ if we dance ourselves into delirium with an overdose of dhaanto? Some folks are so "civilized" the mere mention of clan sends them into paroxysms of anger and embarrassment. Sophia Loren would be proud of their performance in "polite company". Bah! Clans exist, deal with it, just don't tramp on my (our) rights as you celebrate the glory of your clan.

So why all the HAG this and HAG that? Also there is a difference between clan as an identity and clannism or qabiileysi/favouring your own/discrediting others...

Why do we need this conference in London again? How about in Mogadishu?

Maybe the person who taught you Somali is the perv, not the sweet words used to describe hooyo....did you learn the language from some sitcom?

There are even Kurds in Kuwait i have seen them in Kuwait when i was there few years ago. The kurds don't have it as bad as the Afars, the Afars hold no political weight in Djibouti in Eritrea they are totally sidelined and in Ethiopia they are constantly Marginalized by the TPLF regime.The kurds in Iraq have it good they have an autonomous state and the President of Iraq a ceremonial position but they have autonomy and get their fair share of the resources of Iraq. These colonial boundaries. Bah! A plague on all of them; why wont people be allowed to live together as they wish? Where is democracy and all those self-determination high ideals and mumbo jumbo when it comes to third-worlders? Wasn't Yugoslavia allowed to disintegrate along ethnic lines for peace to prevail? Why not Nigeria or Congo or Ethiopia or Kenya or Chad or Sudan some more (Darfur)? What is so sacrosanct about these tin pot little African dictatorships that they have to be kept together at all costs?

Alpha Blondy;912379 wrote: Qansax, let me take this opportunity to send you my glad tidings and greetings of the highest regards. welcome to this thread sxb. i made this thread to rival the usual trolls sheeko and shaah thread. you see, that thread is populated by a bunch of pathetic fools. they have formed groupies and seem to endlessly discuss the irrelevant everyday ''harsh realities of life'' like their shitty work, home life and weather and you can't get a word in there. i only go on there when the legendary Faheema, the somali Angela Bassett and the hottest 40-something year old cougar, since Cilla Black, comes on there. she made a famous especial guest apparence here once, and you should have seen the smile on my face. similarly, this thread was made for Alpha's daily rantings on various discussions, with a particular emphasis on those revolving around the everyday ''harsh realities of life''. with the exception of Alpha, Coofle, Nin-Yaban, inaadeero arafat, Oba, Wadani and perhaps the ADMINS and MODS, no-one appreciates its quality. Apo, was my regular trolls friend for a while but hardly comes on here, anymore. he's got unresolved issues will me. i hope, you too, will become a regular troller here and share with Alpha, your eccentricities, experiences and views of this world and life. welcome sxb. this is your house. feel free to comment as and indeed when you feel. Al. Thanks Alpha, I feel welcome. I once went to Goteborg and our guest was very intent on making us feel welcome and directly translated Sverige to English and ended up "hotly" welcoming us. Nonetheless, after the collective guffaw, we appreciated the spirit and the warmth of the "you are hotly welcome to Goteborg" that came our as his welcome address. You will hear from me no doubt, I might need some pointers and a bit of an initiation though - no mingis though or uunsi or some exorcist wielding a drum and a stick!

Outside of Africa, the Kurds are probably the worst off, won't you agree, everywhere and no where in particular - Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey...

Xaaji Xunjuf;912319 wrote: What about Congo, Ethiopian expansionism was a bit different it has his historic roots in the expansion of the Amhara all over Ethiopia. Amhara lords when ever they conquered a village or a region they just used to settle in the place and breed with the local indigenous community particularly the oromos. So the Amhaara Ethiopian being was foot printed in the society. What about the Congo the secessionist of Katanga in the past and the kiyo region of east Congo the ongoing conflict in that region. That country Congo is also heavily divided. Congo is even worse in my mind; it needs to be split into at least 4 countries...

Also they dont have big fore heads. I could tell from miles away an azanian from Galbeed. Puntlanders are mostly short the majority is skinny they have curly hair except those from Bari are fat and have nappy hair. Those in mudug have a dark brown skin soft hair and are a bit taller than the reer bari. The folks in gedo are mostly tall have a brownish look and are skinny have a big fore head the hawk nose is also present. They look similar to the folks in Galguduud. How about NFD sujuus? Azanains, Gedos, HAGs, SLanders, Maay Maays are all represented in varying proportions...

I think Beledweyne women should always represent Somalia in those world beauty pageants. You realize Hiiraan is HAG-land?
