The world is bigger than we somalis and liteature is kept alive and promoted by the world masses- The Somalis can and sometimes do honor him (more like weye xijiyaanand drag him about the country) but never the less, it is a tribute to his art and contribution to global liteature (not just Somalis). Also this award means= money and prestige for Hadrawi- why do I care who is honoring his contribution, so long as it is being honored- soon as Somalis have an award which holds liteature to the same level, otherwise this one is good enough and well deserved,

**^^^^This above sounds like a reference letter, lol. Pictures poster *****

I can't found fresh normal fasting camel milk like the miyi. The all taste funky. Where do you yours dude.

Hmmmmm I'm fasting today otherwise waan kuu Tami lahah with budh for crimes against your parents. Are you having a mental break down again- what is with the melt down.

Lol haha. Natural aggressor lol. Okay I'm excited too.

Lol juxa are you not mediating the madness as usual. They should pay for your efforts. I emailed you a while ago today juxa.

Stop begging wary. I now get that this thread was just your usual attempt of my clan is farah fantax weyn. Sad yad yad ya

Salam all. Tired and thirsty. Taiwan. Maxad iska haysatan. How is it going

Lol bless and ngonge. Blessed I'm upset you are not cheering for my dear Edo. Lol.

Why not just identify with both or neither. I identify with myself and my friends-couldn't care less about clan. You are the same as those who you share most with and who have your back.

Juxa tbh, I have not learnt any new clans- which is a little strange, laakin, I have become familiar with hearing clan names on first name basis. I also found out people who in the UK were close relatives here are not considered so close- even ones I thought were 2nd/ 3rd cousins have turned out to be quite far removed clanwise- hehehe Lander- waxan aad walaqeysiidi inaga dhaa.

^^^^Looooool, that is a good plan, and no brother, I aint bent on making you a stranger in your home. Of course you also have big and good claims, P.s. Not sure about the 1 room to khatumo, I like peace and quite in my house, not daily breakouts. Lol Bring on the native development project. ABU: Well what can I say- SOL is like a big family reunion- if you lived in the same country, your female folks probably enter the dance off for the same family at weddings. I think he was being tongue in cheek about keeping his uncles out!

By the sound of it, Abu Salman has more legit claims than you at this point Lander- not only is he not your cousin, he also has spent more time and money here, with better links, it is only fare he has better benefits. Abu lol okay, laakin I meant the none Somali Jabuutiyan ayan ku moodeya.

When ever I get bored, I like to read blogs, normally Somali or social outcast blogs. I rediscovered few of the SOL nomads blogs this morning, and I've been laughing all morning as a result. Anyway below is a link for when you are bored! Enjoy. This one is called rants of an angry Somali man and is just amusing! http://madman26.blogspot.com/ The oldmans blog is a classic- I wish you would start writing again old man!!! http://mythaboutgoldfish.blogspot.co.uk/2005/09/somali-weddings-delightful-circus.html http://simplymoi2.blogspot.com/ There are few serious bloggers- identity, theory, religion and other heavy topics. But the above are fun.

Abu- that requires planning- the only planning of towns/ cities in Somaliland is who can afford what and how fast before the price gets even higher! Abu for some strange reason I thought you was ethnic Jabuuti- this display for clans is a suprise. Adiga ayaab 411 kagii la heley! Lander- dont do it!

I thought you said wa la quudsaad/ laga faana- was wondering what they did in Canada to deserve this perception. *was waiting for Africa own to come in here and kugu murarad dilaac! lol Qabil should be a taboo much like FGM (outside the modelling world), not greeted with like salaanta loool ingriskii cararey. lol

Looool, In Arabsiyo they kept asking me ma reer bariga fog baad tahey- Lander gabdah lama hayo- if nothing is wrong with you, Im sure you will find her hidden under some rock. I cant believe you judge on looks based on clan- reer baadiye dhee. btw the clan I spoke of as MA, *the A* is Abdelle or rather Cabdel. I dont know kuwaan laga faano iney isku miid yihin. lol This thread is nuts walahi- made me lol

Abu- Why or why would we need boundaries, this is madness- soon someone is going to say lets have boundaries from your own brother- telling him dont walk on my land. As a nomad, I am free and I have god given right to go and live anywhere for as long as I deem fit. Of course I dont claim any of the land given to me nor followed up to ensure its legality so in reality I dont have, but it is nice to be welcomed!.

I hated them- so strange speaking to yourself, and then a bunch of strangers- kids of relatives reading endless quran and all. I was always asked quran akhiri. I use to hide afterwards and my edo gave up asking me. I was very good at it- the whole salan boqa iyo laabta ka so godey or soemthing quranku dheehanyahey.

If anyone is going to jannah on account of putting up with a random kusband- I agree it will be JB islaan- taalow halo dhiso like the Taj!

Fadumo is a legend! may allah have mercy on her, and all the family. AUN

Loool Lander- I am not sure- sorry. To be honest, they seem to have more men than women- either that or their men are more vocal and loud and their women hidden. Of course the truth is ALL somali women are disproportionately more beautiful than their men. I can confirm that Why ma miid bey kaga degtey?

LOOOOL @ loved her a painful death! XX is truly based on madness, Poster- nope, jiljecla me dont like.- why any one would even contemplate telling a farah or even a man they love or hate them- neither emotion should be felt, and if felt they should never see. True indifference and mockery is always best. Just a hypothetica answer.

Are you guys serious? Carafaad is the ultra ego of Alpha. This my clan is better than yours is madness- let it go. P.s. Bobe- what on earth is with all the arm breaking and nosy- intellect but not a politician? P.s.s. Now that we have all proved we know clan names- let it go will ya.
