ooh..this one will be hotly debated. Caveman, dont wait for long before the hardcore Freedom For Somali Women's Party join the debate, I tell you you have a case to explain bro

I cant understand what is the urgument is about?

^^ Maya magaca odayaal carab la,aa ka khaldeen dadka, magaaladu waxaa la odhan jiray DOORO( not DOORO as in DOORO of Reer waqooyi dialect)MAREEB for their skinning of little chickens

What makes these pictures genuine. As far as I am concerned any person could take pics of Somalis in Macawiso and post them on the net!! Whatever the case is the truth is we shouldn't be having POWs in the first place let alone treat them badly. Commonsense should have prevailed and prevented this war starting. Tell me what have these two sides really achieved? Nothing execept loss of valuable lives.

HAPPY EID TO YOU ALL... MAY ALLAH SHOWER YOU HIS MERCY AND THE WHOLE MUSLIM UMMAH, AMIIN.

Isn't it the time to listen our religious leaders and stop this USELESS war. Whatever happened All those years these folks (Pland and Sland)use tell us how peace loving they are and how the rest of Somalia is hopeless?

I think Melez Zanawi has got the friend and the ally he alWAYS wanted as Somali president. But I am in the opinion that won't long last as he really does not know Ina yeey very well. To understand Mr Yusuf's relation with Zenawi you need to understand what drives them two. Yeey is power hungry and he will do what ever that would raise him to the occasion or keep him in power and that includes smiling for the Ethos for now. But I would not be surprised If Mr Yusuf calls for all out war against the Ethopians in two or three years down the line in the name of defending the Somali interest or pride. After all this is a guy who has made enemies as well as freinds since he started falling out with his then commander in chief Moahmed Siad Barre. When You have a man like Mr Yusuf expect the unpected and praize yourself with an eventful ride. You then need to understand what drives Mr Zenawi. Ethipia Shares borders with about four countries ( Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, Eriteria), except Kenya and now stateless Somalia, they're in conflict with the rest. So they cant afford another country that is unfriendly to them and that is why they were not in favour of supporting Mr. Qassim Salad Hassan. But I hope its all for our interest and theirs this time not to ruin our strife to become a country again. I belive Inayey have good chance of changing our state of affirs, that is if he doesnt spoil it with his usual remark of foulmouthing the religious groups. he's got what he always wanted to become Somalia's president and all he needs to do now is serve for all of her citizens, those he agrees with things and those he doesn't. If he fails to do so I am afraid his goverment is doomed. But inshallah let us hope he do what is best for all the people.

I am really amused of people talking about ******ia and revival of Somalia's once only dream ( uniting the Somali peninsula). The reason why I am amused is becouse I think such talk is premature and pointless at this stage specially when Somalia, the parent is not an existant rather disintegrated, disfunctional and most of it all chaotic. Our priority should be how we would put our acts together and work way out of this chaos we inflicted ourselves, then and only then we can utter the words of ******ia and NFD.

For the sake of poor and defenceless people in Somalia I hope and pray peace prevails in our land. Wallahi you can say whatever you want about A.Yusuf but Somali people are tired living in foreign lands that they know nothing about and those are in the country are tired of guns and lawlessness. May Allah hepl us live together in peace and harmomy, Amiin.

waraa ana igu dara afartayda aan lasoo shir tagi doonaa hadii alla idmo inkastoo aanan maansada iyo suugaanta isku fiicnayn. Raula adi urka iyo wax aad sheegaysid maxaa waaye ma kuriyootay xaajiga..haye warka cadee seebuu wax yeelay Odeygii dhihi jiray xaajo rag waaye ma ka fiicnaynoo?

Enlightening information for all

War odeygii Baasha ahaa maxaa ku dhacay, kuwii qaxayay baa kugu qaxay miyaa war sheekada iyadoo meel fiican idiin marayso adiga iyo islaantii raula ahayd soo kan ilmo Baro maaro isaga waayay, Alla maxay reera aroos ah buqbuqa ka fiiriyeen..hana soo marina. Markaan akhriay shukaansiga oo aan arkay odeygii Baasha ahaa oo noo habarwacday soo aniga diyaarsaday inaan akhriyo "nak nakaxatan...haday ku diido diid haday ku yeesho yeel, haday kusiiso sii..faaataxa", balo se waxay ka dhacady markii odeygii dib u gurtay oo la soo shirtagay xaasbaan leeyahay iyo hawlo aan loo joogin..dabaal maxaas baa la sheegaa.

I see some people relishing on this (muqdishaa gubanaysa maxaa kaaga gidhiisha as they say), and for some they comfort themselves with the online tabloid.. when will we learn? innocent and ignorant militias are dying as we speak and you people instead of coming up with better things to say you keep quoting and quoting sources god knows what they stand for.. hatred, enviness are the enemy of the mind kind

I READ THIS STORY A WHILE AGO AND THERE IS NO WHERE THE STORY REFERS THE CHARACTERS AS THOSE OF SOMALI ORIGION INFACT SOMALITALK TRANSLATED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL ARABIC TRANSCRIPT. PEOPLE ASSUME THAT IF AN ARTICLE IS WRITTEN IN SOMALI IT MUST BE REFRERING TO SOMALIS, BUT AGAIN THE STORY IS SAD ONE AND WE PRAY ALLAH IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OUR SISTERS,MUSLIMS AND PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW, AMIIN.

This is funy poem... ME woneder why did he insult the ones he insulted rather than the ones he praised. For sure that kind of generalization is big sin !!!!

This whole saga brings me to think that who is better for our country to lead, a man who has been alleged money laundering and theft from national treasure for more than once or less educated, power hungery dictator who otherwise could be thought as a strong leader......in any day light and in sober mood I would not risk any of them, is there any other choice?

^ Really? I missed that bit of Djibouti then..why one athlete only though, are they deprived of sporting capabilties?

^^ Its was confusing to every one even to the commentators as countries appeared by the Greek alphabatical order, God knows how it works!!! And yeah the skins are there, lets see what they can do

I dreaded to see the Somali team and I did at last!! I didnt know I was this patriotic!! Anyways there were an old dude, apparently the coach carrying the flag which was not good as Somalia is Gold winner once and some good athlete should have represented the country! Good luck to them

Sujui, What is the point of marrying if you going to wear macawis (that is if I understood what you really mean Macawis) Guina, You are not going to run far, be warned! I am a member of peacekeeping military mission that are being prepared to keep the peace in Somalia, not will I keep the peace while I am there but I will take the extra task of hunting you down wherever you might be..what I can not obtain by your consent I will through my intimidating military uniform! So no escape for you dear

Abwaan Jamaaloow maad noo faisrtid gabayga raga qaar tuunjiga ku daahay baa ku jireee....

Hasna, You are slow, arent you.. Gorrmaad soo kacday waa xeero iyo fandhaal kaladhaceen..(if you r fish & chip or sijui you r excused to undersatnd that) People you must be dreaming who is that have the audacity to ask his/her future wife or husband to come to the STD clinic before any thing can happen..gabadhaas saas ah waaba mid indha adayg dhamaysay..its easier said than done

Is that what midgets are telling each other now? Ahh, how adorable! Adi qarxiska jooji yan adna cabir intaan kuusoo qaato aan ku facshirine
