^^^You are so mean. Btw Cabdiyo, did you read, the girl house was bombed while she was away.

^^^Only you would say that! lol

^^^I don't spend much time admiring it, nor does anyone else. I can't even remember the last time I had them out. Yet I spend hrs a month on washing, brushing, tying, tiding, hijabing. Its just such waste of time. Pluz I want to feel light and floaty for a while. It will grow back...well I hope. lol

It is 2pac dee!^ What do you who is the black man! issh YEs it is called dedication my dear. We are Africans and education. You know I was thinking about the age you know. I was like single mother, 16, What the...

I sent the guy (the reporter) To say Thank you for reporting on hidden stories, and Oh by the way it is "Somali" not Somalian. I hope you will use the correct term in the future. Well done to little Sam. I'm so proud of the Chinese and others at the stadium who all stood up and clapped for her when they realised she was still running.

Ok we are suprised by what she has achieved. We should not be, hopefully it will become a normal thing to hear. Rather than once ina blue moon.

^^^^Uuuu big difference Ngonge! lol W/salam Saayid. tang u.

Xaasha, ME defending the current status quo. :eek: never. The acknowledgement of the nature of Somali conflict Xiin you want me to congratulate them, or beat the drum for them for pointing out the obvious. No sh*it Sherlock, there is no wisdom in stating the obvious. I want to see him do it, rather than speech, after speech. Yes I get it, he speaks very well, but that alone won't help the millions of Somalis in limbo. As for everything else you said [minus your point of working with international order, (another way of saying we don’t have the power) and I agree with that] But everything else I agree to differ with you Xiin. I think before angia lagigu sii taayo, he needs you ASAP and make it happen. Maybe then I'll support him. Xiin: So how long should we give him to make any progress?? 3months, 4, 8 months, 1year.? :confused:

^^Miyaad ii ignore gaareinasy Can't you even return my Salam these days yaa north. I've noticed a change you know...

You guys really need to get a life. :mad:

Salam and Morning people. JB Today is the day, lets get the party started.

Fantastic. Mashallah, great to hear. wow. congrats P.s. It is a shame that we are shocked

The answer is different for each girl. It is the same as saying why girls shop. :confused: Some enjoy the act of shopping, some like walking around, some like pretty things, some like how the clothes make them feel when they put it on, others like looking at pretty things, some like shopping because their friends like it, others because they need new clothes. Some way look at it as short term, others as a permanent never ending cycle, a journey they are happy to make day in day out. Maybe it is human necessity to want to be with others. Understand. Now answer my question. Why do you want to know?

Why do you want to know??

^^^cool. So when they start growing, what do you do?? Will it make my hijab look funny all of sudden. Afro Hijab I'm try the wigs on wed inshallah. Thanks girls And what do you do in winter? hmm, wear a hat and then my hijab on top.

dedicated to Bella. Someone who feels your pain. It will pass. I can tell you that for nothing. Lol @ Urban. Hi Cara, I am improving right

Intimidation will not stop our boats sailing Our perilous, non-violent mission should now be nearing its destination, bearing a message that some want to silence. This morning I am sorry to find myself back on dry land in Cyprus, separated from my fellow sailors who are now completing the final leg of their trip to Gaza. They are carrying humanitarian and medical aid to a people now suffering both an international boycott and the illegal Israeli occupation. On board the refurbished fishing boats, SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty, are more than 50 activists from 17 nations - Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, farmers, fishermen, officials, language teachers, piano technicians and one 85-year-old Holocaust survivor - all united in their determination to break the Israeli siege. After months of preparation, the Free Gaza Movement's perilous relief mission is under way. But I am not with them, despite the fact that I am the only Palestinian-born organiser involved. Last week, my immediate family, who still live in the West Bank, were attacked and terrorised, and I also received numerous anonymous death threats. My family were warned that I must leave the project, and that I must not contact the media. This psychological terrorism now forces me to make a public protest. Though I am no longer on board, I will not leave this mission, even as potential confrontation with the Israeli military looms closer. The UN has called the situation in Gaza a humanitarian disaster, but the inhumanity goes on. More than 200 civilians have died due to the refusal to let people leave Gaza to seek medical care. The United States, the country that assumes stewardship of the world and whose influence could change the situation, stands by. Worse still, it endorses absurd Israeli claims, such as the recent labelling of innocent Fulbright scholars as "potential security threats" to bar them from taking up their scholarships abroad. Internationally, the thin veneer of diplomacy has shattered again. On June 19 Israel agreed to halt military invasion and the indiscriminate shelling of Gaza, in return for an end to the launching of homemade rockets towards Israel. Israel has not met its obligations. Gaza's borders, gates that imprison 1.5 million civilians, remain locked, and scant supplies get through. Even medical supplies are being blocked. I grew up in Palestine and have lived in fear since childhood. The horror of witnessing elders of my family being bullied and humiliated, the daily terror of losing my parents. Watching my family elders being humiliated, the child's voice inside me would cry out silently: "How can I stop this?" While I was on board the Liberty, I listened to the threatening messages hijacking the ship's emergency channel, illegal for use unless in distress. These voices reawakened a deep, familiar feeling in me: that no matter how civil, kind, non-violent I am, I will always be watched, or far worse, hunted. Now I realise that the biggest friend of psychological terror is silence. The Free Gaza Movement aims to challenge the physical stranglehold on Gaza, but more importantly, this mission seeks to break the silence for millions of voiceless civilians whose daily stories of persecution go so cruelly ignored by the international community. When our boats arrived in Cyprus on August 20 to collect the rest of our 40-plus group, news reached us that Israel's deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Tzipi Livni, had finally responded to our invitation. The Free Gaza Movement had invited her to join the Cypriot authorities, who were coming aboard to search our boats in order to address their security concerns. Citing the Oslo accords, a document from the legal department of the foreign ministry asserted Israel's right to use force against our boats. It claimed that security forces were permitted to detain the vessels upon entry to Gaza's territorial waters, and that the peaceful, unarmed activists on board could be forcibly arrested, detained and "interrogated" in Israel. Why does a peaceful relief mission bring fury, fear and threat from the Israeli government? Is this the way Israel observes its responsibilities under the Oslo accords? Under the accords and the Gaza-Jericho agreement, the only authority Israel reserved for itself was for "security" purposes. Our boats are no threat. Our David and Goliath mission is a focused, direct action to challenge the inertia of the international community which allows the "humanitarian disaster" suffered by the people of Gaza to continue. The activists carry no arms or threat of violence. If the Israeli government orders the destruction of this mission, it will surely be an act unequalled since the blowing up of the USS Liberty more than 30 years ago, a secret mission of sabotage to draw the Americans into the war against Egypt. The prospect casts a shadow on our mission. But Liberty and Free Gaza will bring their peaceful cargo to the people of Gaza. Many families will now be gathered on the Gaza beaches, waiting and praying for the boats' safe arrival. For those families, simply to be afloat in these crystal blue seas, enjoying the freedom of international waters, would be a truly wonderful thing indeed. ·Osama Qashoo is a documentary film-maker and broadcaster freegaza.org

^^Xiin Horta W/Salam. Secondly, the issue is not whether Sharif is well spoken or not. I don't have anything bad to say about the dude in that regard. If anything maybe at first he was a little naive and used. As for his personal things. I don't care, THAt is not on judgement. As for Jabbuuti, again I'm not too fuzzed about the details, were they paid, how did they agree so fast after such long grid lock etc. They came to an agreement, fine, 30days yad yad ya. How long ago was this agreement? and I have not seen anything come of it. If there has been, please show me, I have been busy and maybe I missed it. Sharif advocates simply because proponents you met were unable to present it well. Atheer this guy was not the local dude at the Maaqaxi, he is the Chief negotiator. HE could not negotiate the release of a child on Tahriib let alone negotiate on behalf of so many Somalis. Lastly leadership needs good people around them, it is not an individual alone. Maybe sharifs strength is articulating his points and maybe he has a clear vision, lets even say he is sincere, if he has stupi*d (astagfurallah) people around him, like the ones I’ve had the misfortunate of meeting, then AGAIN he is on a sinking boat, and AGAIN he is not an alternative. We should welcome UN troops if they are the means to get Ethiopian troops out of our soil. It will certainly be to our advantage if we can influence which specific countries these troops will comprise. Xiin lol, sorry to laugh, but how do I say this, the UN/ AU troop, is just another means of occupation, which could last an indefinite period. In addition their conduct, cannot be judged and based on their country of origin, what country is irrelevant. I am going to wait, time will tell and the truth has its own legs Xiin. I for one will know when I see the truth and I am not afraid to support it. So if and it is a big IF Sharif can achieve something which ends the miser in Somalia, I will carry his shoes and durbanaka uu gaaraac, but for the time being, I dont see anything which makes me proud of any somali leader or fraction. Ramadan Mubarak Xiin.
