Not exactly related to the topic but I started reading Aw Jaamac Cumar Ciise's excellent biography of the Sayid and the Daraawiish in general. Despite his lofty ambitions and great personal qualities, it seems the Sayid made some blunders that eventually lead to his downfall. A clear example is the Dayax-Weerar battle against the Sand-dwellers. It seems even the Sayid knew this was an error when he later said:
Cii.dagale ma daaroo, an danqaabi maayo'e
Duubigey calaameyn, Diiriyaana u xididnoo
Dayax weear jeer hore rag baa igu dukhuloo
I remember speaking to an elderly reer Waqooyi duq a while ago and he mentioned the Sayid would have been successful if it weren't for three xa': 1- Xawda ka jar 2- Ma xujoobo and I forgot the third. It seems this old man was right.
(And no, I'm not biased against the Sayid just because my reer were against him).

<cite>said:</cite>Cali guray is a no body. He doesn't represent anyone he doesn't hold office. I like how these people cling on to any string of hope.Hassan sheik is the same religion as the rest of Somalians it's called munafaqnimo. With bari practising a combo of munafaqnimo and jahilnimo what other reason is there for 20 odd years of chaos. And criminality.Mooge bowing to dead Kenyans is what your kinsmen do in kismayo. What your fish eating for Father's did for the Italians and British and what they did by planting Ethiopian flags in Somalia from day dot to today.Stop acting like you have any honour. Your people don't.Sxb, they say those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Nearly every Somali clan (if not all) can be accused of sucking up to gaalo at one point or another, yours included (I'm assuming you're reer Waqooyi). No need to pick on Mooge's family alone.

Ciidan la isku dhafey wax tari maayo haddii aan beelaha la heshiisiin, jajuubka lagu noolyaheyna laga bixin. What good would a united army do if they will readily splinter into clan militias at the smallest clan dispute, or if foreigners dictate to us what to do?
Beelaha waxaa un la heshiisiin karaa markii caddaalad la helo. Caddaaladna waxaa un lagu heli karaa kitaabka Ilaahey oo si daacad ah loogu dhaqmo.

<cite>said:</cite>Haatuuuuu.. one of my favorite nomads, great seeing you again!

Bud baa layla dhacayaa!
Beri baa islaan reer UK ah dhabar xanuun ku dhacey. Islaantii markii ay dhawr beri xanuun la joogi waysey ayay go'aansatey in ay dhaktarka u tagto, waxayna kaxeysatey gabadheeda si ay u turjunto. Islaantii waxay tiri "Hooyoy, dhakhtarka waxaad ku dhahdaa, habeen walba kolkaan dhinac dhulka dhigo, giirka* ilaa barida bud* baa layla dhacaa!". Gabadhii oo af Soomaaliga uu ku adag yahey, hadalka sidii ay hooyadeed u tiri bay u turjuntey oo waxay tiri "Hooyodey habeen walba bud baa dhabarka lagaga garaacaa".
Dhakhtarkii caddaanka ahaa intuu amakaaggey* ayuu weydiiyey "Hooyadaa waxaad weydiisaa, habeenkii imisaa jeer baa budka lagu dhuftaa". Hooyadii waxay ugu warcelisey "Hooyoy habeenkii oo dhan baa layla dhacaa". Gabadhiina isla sidii bay turjuntey.
Dhakhtarkii intuu naxey ayuu inanta ku yiri "Hooyadaa waxaad weydiisaa, habeen walba ya garaacaa?". Hooyadii waxay ugu warcelisey "Hooyoy ma garanaayi. Waa un layla dhacaa habeen walba intuu waaga ka baryaaya". Gabadhii sidii oo kale bey hadalka u gudbisey.
Dhakhtarkii miskiinka ahaa intuu sasey ayuu warbixin degdeg ah booliiska u gudbiyey, asagoo leeyahey "islaanta habeen walba waa la abuse gareeyaa ee ka gaara intaysan nafta ka go'in".

Somalis need a life-long ruler (a dictator if you will). Preferably one from my jilib.

Ugu horrayn salaan sare reer SOL. Kulanti wacan oo wanaagsan mudda dheer ka dib.
Recently a friend of mine started watching Korean dramas (they're apparently very popular). She complained of the mixed emotions she had encountered from the dramas and the love-hate relationship she now has with them. The following piece was created with this in mind. The idea is hers, the execution is mine.
For asterisked words, see bottom for definition.
~~Akhris wacan~~
Maalmahan waxaan billaabbey in aan daawado musalsallo Kuuriyaan ah. Markii aan billaabbayey, dan iyo dareen gaar ah kama aanan laheyn. Hase yeeshee, ma aanan filaynin hiyikaca* aan kala kulmey. Alla maxaan jiif la ladi waayey uurkutaallada* aan ka dhaxley musalsalladaas baas!
Aadanaha* inta uu noolyahey, wuxuu maraa heerar kala duwan. Wuxuu dhashaa asaga oo qaawan oo aan waxba garaneynin. Gabankii* dhashey waa ka dib waa la daadihiyaa* oo socodbarad ayuu noqdaa. Wax yar ka dibna hadal ayuu billaabbaa, kuraynimadiina* way u sii xigtaa. Dhawr gu'* ka dibna wuu qaangaaraa* oo gaashaanqaad* talo rag la wadaaga ayuu noqdaa, dareen guurna wuu galaa. Guurkiina waxaa u sii xigtaa aabbanimo. Mudda ka dibna wuu hawlgabaa* oo gurjoogtii* ayuu mar labaad ku biiraa, malagiisana* wuu sugaa. Dabadeedna wuu geeriyoodaa oo Eebbihii* unkey* ayuu ku laabtaa.
Heer walboo ka mid ah meertaha nolosha aadanaha (human life cycle), waxaa marnaba la waynaynin dareemo si gaar ah qofka u saameeya. Dareemaha waxaa ka mid ah raynrayn, murugo, walbahaar*, yididiillo*, caloolxumo IWM. Dhammaantood waxay aadanaha ku ridaan hiyikac oo laabtiisa* ayay degganaansho u diidaan. Dareemaha qaarkood aadanah wuu soo dhaweeyaa, helistooduna dadaal dheeraad ah ayuu ku bixiyaa. Qaar kalana cagajiidasho* iyo gafuurtaag* ayuu ku sooryeeyaa*.
Musalsallada aan waayahan dambe billaabbey marmar waxay igu ridaan rayrayn oo way iga farxiyaan, marmarna intey laabta i gooyaan ayay murugo god dheer la moodo igu ridaan.
Marmar waxaan ku tashadaa in aan iska daayo, oo wakhtigayga wax faa'ido leh aan ku bixiyo. Mararka kalana waxaan is arkaa anoo hiraab* joogo oo habeen dhan ku dhafrey*.
Ani iyo musalsal baa is haysannaa oo, wacdarana* dhigney. Dhawr jeer u sheegey in aan ka yohoomayo* oo mar dambe aanan is arki doonin. Dhawr jeera "qaybta* xigta oo keliya!" igu sasabiyey!
Tixgelin,
Haatu iyo saaxiibtiis.

I don't see anything to celebrate. The weather is miserable and everyone is being fake and pretentious. The only silver lining is a few days off. Bah humbug.

I got a respectable 19 votes. Bearing in mind that I didn't even appear in the list last year I think this is a very good achievement.
Sidaas awgeed, waxaan jeclaan lahaa in mahadcelin ballaaran oo kash iyo laabta kasoo go'dey inaan u gudbiyo taageerayaasheyda intii i bogaadisay iyo intii ii codayseyba dhammaan.

Fierce tensions in NFD. On the brink of all-out cag.dheer war. War between Cawls and Markabulls. Not looking good. Cawls crying bloody murder. Markabulls stockpiling men and arms from as far as Markabul Hawd (AKA Doollo). Fierce qaaraan on all sides. Waaq worshippers likely to intervene for own benefits and grievances against cawls. Allow sahal.

No somalilanders get along fine and they don't need some foreigner from kenya to the bidding for somalia another country.You said before u don't care if somalia and somaliland go their separate ways officially in the eyes of the world but you have the greater Somali fairytale map on your page. You hate the fact that somalilanders buried that dream, you want somalis of somalia and somaliland to play a strong role in your betterment in kenya. But we made sure you are on your own and this hurts u deeply.Why did you get rid of the part that alluded to Cigaal? I was going to say about that "I don't cling to old grudges nor do I blame a whole clan for the actions of one man, ma reerihiina baad i mooddey" but I guess you expected something like that so you quickly edited
As for S/land splitting, I have absolutely no problem with it, but waa in shardi lagamamaarmaan ah laga dhigaa that only the Durriyad is allowed to leave. Why should other clans be condemned to your clan project. You wanted independence, there you go and good luck to you.
As for Soomaaliweyn, it is something I believe in and it makes no difference to me whether anyone else does or not. And for your information, only the Somalis in Kenya can improve their own situation, not others who harbour bad will towards them.

I wonder where this steroetype that Somalis from NEP can't speak Somali originated from? What do you guys think we speak on a daily basis? English? Swahili?
