I know this wasn't your intention but I find this comment hysterically funny, xabad. Is it the letter format? The passive aggressive "thanks"? The way you capitalized Audio in "audio porn"? lmao so many levels

Thanks Wadani

Even if you hated someone; an intelligent person would not have started a Jaahil and unintellectual topic. You mention Allah in "wabilahi tawfiq" when your behaviour is unacceptable in Islam. People who are against race marriges aren't at least as arrogant as you are. the are a bunch of god fearing Amhara muslim. So next time you promote Nationalistic fanatism, please don't say anything that has to do with Islam. We all know what measures Allah takes against people like you. Wabilahi tawfiq... +1

The photos I've seen on actual news websites have blurred out the graphic stuff.

Naxar Nugaaleed;939058 wrote: I don't know why but coverage of this event was way more graphic, pics and vids of people with their legs blown out with bones sticking out being carried away. On television? I don't have a TV so I've only seen what's online, and it seems news sites are more careful and only link to graphic photos with a warning.

The latter, obvi.

They are singing an Amharic song and dancing eskista, these are Ethiopians.

MISSION COMPLETE! I forgot a line or two so I had to improvise at times, but no one in the audience could tell. And I may or may not have tried to pass off a few Somali words as Amharic, but I warned my group (I'm the only non-native speaker) and the instructor ahead of time that they would start hearing "Somaligna" if I get stuck. So I didn't suck y'all

English speakers continue to do all those things to Somalia. Was Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia not a US proxy war in their "war on terror"? But you're still missing the point -- English is a colonial inheritance, it still symbolizes all the oppressive practices I mentioned, and therefore (using your logic) just as problematic as Amharic, if not more so. I have no problem with speaking Amharic, just like I have no problem speaking English or French. Languages embody many things, and for my purposes they are tools to help me do the work I want to do.

I understand irony quite well. I was pointing to the fact that you're communicating in the English language, one that for centuries has been the language of conquest, colonialism and slavery.

Cambuulo iyo bun;938769 wrote: @Safferz: it has 0 importance in the horn (sawahili is king) and it's not wonderful but barbaric. it's razor to the ears and anyone who studies it is a race-traitor IMO. That's quite simplistic. Also noting the irony of communicating that in the English language.

SomaliPhilosopher;938764 wrote: A mole in the making huh?I should put you in touch with the somali national security agency. Perhaps you could have won us the ******* war lool so many Somalis speak Amharic! But nah I am just dying to read the material in Ethiopia's state archives, and I still have a way to go before I reach that level of competence in Amharic. I know there are several thousand documents about Somalia's nationalist movement in the security archives in Harar alone, because they were so concerned about it.

Wadani;938758 wrote: Get used to this now because public speaking will become your bread and butter as an academic. Just make sure u take deep breaths as u walk up there and before u start speaking. Public speaking isn't really the issue, it's the fact it's a lame acting performance (foreign language doesn't help either). It even embarrassed me back in elementary and middle school when I was forced to do it then lol. Cambuulo iyo bun;938757 wrote: nothing personal safferz but I find amaharic or any of the etiopian languages barbaric and not worth learning especially by one born of the proud somali race. disgusting language and people. if a meteor wiped them out i'll say alhamdulilah. I think it's a wonderful language and an important one in the Horn. And learning it is the only way to find out what they say and write about us.
