If not the later - then waa in aad ragana categories u samaysid BTW - The Sheng Nu category is lost on you since is not so much about about age - but rather education, quality and independence of woman. - Read the bit about 'marrying down' Blessed - the best time to get married is when young (<20s) as per the advice of our prophet (SAW). I would only add that young people who get married young not to have children at least minimum for the first five years.

Leftover? If this is what confident, educated and mature women are considered to be, I for one will be rummaging around the fridge. - Rob Tell

Over 27? Unmarried? Female? In China, you could be labelled a "leftover woman" by the state. .........Huang is a confident, personable young woman with a good salary, her own apartment, an MA from one of China's top universities, and a wealth of friends. Still, she knows that these days, single, urban, educated women like her in China are called "sheng nu" or "leftover women" - and it stings. ........"Ever since 2007, the state media have aggressively disseminated this term in surveys, and news reports, and columns, and cartoons and pictures, basically stigmatising educated women over the age of 27 or 30 who are still single," .............The proportion of unmarried men that age is higher - over a third. But that doesn't mean they will easily match up, since Chinese men tend to "marry down", both in terms of age and educational attainment. "There is an opinion that A-quality guys will find B-quality women, B-quality guys will find C-quality women, and C-quality men will find D-quality women," says Huang Yuanyuan. "The people left are A-quality women and D-quality men. So if you are a leftover woman, you are A-quality." :D ......................But it's the "A-quality" of intelligent and educated women that the government most wants to procreate, according to Leta Hong-Fincher. She cites a statement on population put out by the State Council - China's cabinet - in 2007. "It said China faced unprecedented population pressures, and that the overall quality of the population is too low, so the country has to upgrade the quality of the population."

NG, awoowe details are important. They are not irrelevant. As they say the devil is in the details. The issues you thought of as being trivial have the potential to make or break the political settlement after a promising start. Small things in policy and schemes or even in engineering design, if overlooked, can cause serious problems later on. Awoowe it is often details like the ones you seem to dismiss that often prolong a task or make it difficult or challenging. Government made its move. It’s demanding lifting of arms embargo. The author of the article, Xiin, Rahima and I support the move and sympathize with the government as it has to address huge, monumental security challenges. The criticism stems from numerous unfinished businesses that I think government should give the utmost priority. Security forces (police), securing government premises, reconciling different interpretation of provisional federal constitution, readiness, recruitment policies, national bases, and on and on should be front and center of the government’s effort. True there are political forces (supported by clans) who mistrust government in Mogadishu (for clannish reasons) that will not support it if they suspect their interested are not taken into account. These clan-based political forces were vocal before this government made demands relating to arms embargo and they will continue to be vocal every step of the way. That’s given. I am at loss where you are going with this obvious reality that everyone in the forum seems to acknowledge. As to this clan influence stuff you are peddling from post to post let me say this one more time at the this risk of sounding like a broken record YES clan is strong undercurrent of the majority of political activities in both Somalia and Diaspora (the only exception I can think of is nationalism and Political Islam -- both political stripes do exist). Agreed 110%! And I would add any rational and informed Somali who argue with you on that point does not have facts on his/her side. Now, it is one thing to say the clan is a major factor in Somali politics. It’s quite another thing to stretch that factual nugget into a litmus test for all and every statements folks made on current events. I see you are throwing yourself in Habar vs. Habar politics and declaring your political allegiance on that basis. That’s your prerogative. But I don’t think you should bully Rahima or other nationalist or Islamist who espouses different understanding that transcends clan politics into following suit or tell her to declare allegience to her clan first before she could share her opinion on political issues of the day. Accusations, finger pointing and impugning others intentions does not substitute for discussion awoowe . Xiin don’t deal with one liner brigade. They are not here to discuss issues. Folks like Abwaan (still waiting a report from him ) and others of similar mold excel accusing others but have difficulty in penning coherent and articulate thought silent readers of SOL could follow and understand. I guess we made a good run on this and got a lot of mileage out of it. Nimanyahow af laba daan leh baan, muranka deynayne Daleelaha cidlaa lagama shubo, hadal daleeleede Markii laduqayay Xiinfaniin wuxuu, doonayuu helaye!!

Subax wanaagsan mid iyo kuli. p.s. Dr Cornel West - where art though this morning, - more important where is my £50 for my charity?
