Being half jiin I guess you need four halfs of something @ Nuune

'Liibaan' is bloody troll who copies and pasts the views for people on drugs.!!!! Val, I feel inaad in misunderstood my point- I didn’t say they would come haadi carrot la siyo, my point is that whatever funding is being used for this security keep, troops and so on can be used to do something useful for that area, like providing sufficient water and minimizing conflict. This will ultimately lead to better relations (well better than wax hada socda.) Aside from that I think you have presented a very good over view. All in all, force does not work, never has worked and there is nothing more precious than peace and safety. I really think dhaadka iin la iska daaf and la ignore gareyo. Repressing their views and the military presences just aggravates the locals forcing people to take sides in a conflict they would not otherwise care two shids about. Perhaps if SL succeeds in their project and the incentive is bigger economically and otherwise, you won’t need to bully them into joining you and less people will be sitting on the fence. Ngonge and Co need to work out a better way of getting people off the fence instead of trying to push them off and if they refuse shooting at them or over their heads. Ngonge of all people should understand this sentiment as he use to sit on the fence for so long.

Yawwwwn****** SalamAlikum

Dhaad baad on this forum are not caadi. Waali.com bey ka yimadin. @ detective Faheema Stuff and nonesense.

I can't the whole thing wa flashing ADVERT, it hurts my eyes!! :eek: Plus it is in somali. Ya assey the water holes and dam warya? Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Soon they will be in the cost of Europe!

I am pis*sed off that someone was stupi*d enough to demolish a dam and water holes in a region where there is severe water shortage and draught. What kind of mind frame must someone be in to do that. It is just crazy and unjustifiable- SSC and SL would be bloody ridiculously xasid and stupi*d to demolish the avenue of resources. Uuuf iyo shidhouse. I have not read the article- just going by the title.

Ngonge: Maxa ka galey what they will do once they achieve what they set out to do?? :confused: Don’t you believe they are smart enough or like SL people after SNM ended could formulate their own policy (it may well be after all this they go to Puntiland, SL or both) but the idea is they want to get there on their own. Why must people babysit them and guide them (particularly as they don't want help or guidance) let them go and check the four walls, in the end they know they can’t survive alone (no one can) and will need to join someone or another or arrive at the same conclusion as yours. With all that said I think the current SSC situation (though everyone wants to build it up and use it for its own agenda (SL & SSC) is nothing more than the usual yearly fights of reer miyi over shortage of resources, with the rain failing, lack of water and grazing land, that area will always result in clashes in dry season. It seriously needs some sort of plan for the nomads during the dry seasons so that families are not forced into these situations. I know people like to claim the lines are clear cut, but those sub clans have lived together so long and so in each other’s business that its really nephews killing their uncles and uncles killing the nephews.; in time the families would've sorted this out amongst the reer miyi, I don't see why a new problem over resources which involves the sub sub sub clan of the jeclo people has become part of the old SL vs SSC. The idea of building situations up so that they look bigger and more deadly is really counterproductive and just increases the fear mongering among the communities. Ngonge if SL and Silanyo had any sense they would’ve left the reer badiyes and SSC alones and concentrated their little resources on developing other areas, soon enough LA and the rest of SSC would’ve been crying why are we not getting anything and we need development and progress too and that would’ve been their hook. SSC is useless to Puntiland if Somaliland has no interest in SSC, in which case SSC would’ve tried to make themselves relevant to one or the other or try make up their own thing. Either way this situation would not have risen, why and how SCC become such big part and importance to SL and PL? At this moment SL does not seem to understand the simple equation of the more people talk about SSC, the less people talk about SL, and I don’t see how or why SL focused so much energy time, effort, money and other resources on people who don’t want them or appreciate their interference. Let SSC be the big elephant in the room, seen and ignored, why is SL determined to be defined by SSC?. More than anyone else SL should understand force and bullying does not work, after all that is why they left Somalia. As for SSC leaders and elders, they can’t have both feet in different place, if they picked a side instead of trying to eat from both sides or flip flopping depending on where the money is then their protests would’ve been understandable laakin haad their credibility is pants and all we do know is that they stand with whoever is paying that months cheque. SSC people need to stop following these fools.

JB maxad ku qoosli, this matter is serious (Libaan dream it is SCC houses aside) reer iisxaq guryaha laga gubeye wa inaad detective nooqotid and find out why and how :eek:

Salamalikum & Jumca Mubarak. TAIF

Malika, everyone is Kuwaasii, iyagii and kuwii until you reach two brothers in all Somalis. Uniformity is not our thing it seems. I agree with Ngonge first post- an over excited kid in the west did the editing with Saado and posted it. An SL ciyaal suuq baa ka dhaba shaqeye till he uncovered it and excited with his find www ula so caraey.

SSC maxad ugu saadin?? This is a lie, not a single SSC house kuma jiro. Everything does not need to be "ana weykan" listka igu dhara. The fact you would put together "like after 9/11, 1991 in Somalia, 1994 in Rwanda, 1992 in Bosnia , 1999 in Kosova, and more recently in Ivory Coast, Libya, Egypt, and Tunis" in the same sentence as the clan clashes shows your state of mind. As for SSC people in Haregisa and Burco, again waad iska haadeshey, wa kuwa weli tagtagan like qawsar in the city, particularly Burco with their trucks. I know one family kulaha, so?

Wrong wa understatment.

^^Amiiin

I am really angry and I can't calm myself down. I want to go down the phone line and cunah ku deg some snob ********* xasid ***** so and so freak. uuuf I can cut him up into small bits and feed him to the dogs on the street. :mad: :mad:

Well I've looked at the questions and I went to one of the meetings, these places you can do this: 1) Somaliland as your country of birth, if that is the case (Question 9), (If you was born elsewhere write that country) 2) Somalilander as your national identity (Question 15), tick all that applys. QUESTION 15 asks you to best describe your national identity. You can tick [√] British or more of the other boxes, as appropriate, in your case (Euro and Arab Somalis). After ticking British, to indicate your Somaliland national origin, tick [√] “Other” and then write in the box: SOMALILANDER spelling counts and all the form needs to be in CAPs otherwise it is void and wont count. 3) Some people are writing Somalilander as their ethnic group, I dont agree with this as it is not valid or true but if you are thats question question 16. Otherwise write Somali, please dont write African as the data gets too wide ranged and means nothing to us as community. To indicate your ethnic group, tick [√] again “Other” and then write in the box. The Census is running from the 7th March tillt he 27th March and it is for everyone who IS in the UK during that period including temporary or illegal alians (even those staying in Hotels). They are being sent to all households, you can request extra or you can fill it out online. British people LIVING outside the UK cannot take part.

Okay I sort of read the last article, but I still can't figure out yaa gubey the houses/ sandaqado or why. why is Somali news articles so long winded? just tell me; who; where; why and how; Shid house

What happened? I saw a guy on Facebook telling people in Hargeisa to check on top of the house in the morning and wax kale. Engris ii gu sheeg, who is burning houses and this a brick houses or somali huts on the outskrits of the city? is this a form of protest or something sinister or kids or xaasid or land disputes. Warka ii caad ya JB?

Xaabsade is a lost case, if a person has no principles, it is not worth having them in your corner. The likes of Xaabsade is what has ruined Somalia and it will surely ruin SL if they keep promoting him and adopting the likes of him. Get rid of him, the dollar is his god, he has no clan or principles and he has sold his people 10times over. I don’t know why some still follow him but you would have to be mentally retarded be from his clan and follow this man. Flip flopping makes an a*ss out of you, and in this instance is killing people. Laba jeebley sheekadis iska daaf, that train is never late- as soon as PL offers him a pay rise he will be off.

Warya nimaka SL where are the women in this government, and why are they all OLD men with white hair? Not a single women or young person, :rolleyes:

I thought you wanted Silanyo to win the election, I remember you cheering for him when almost everyone else was against him. Xiin too, I thought he was the great Somali who will bring SL back from their dreams, the Somali who will lead ALL of Somalia, the Somali who will finally in your words bring some sanity. How things change in few months, now he is terrorist of all terrorist. That aside what did he do to earn this new title? today is my first day back into Somali news.
