Freedom of expression is important for Somaliland. if we want to develop as democratic society we have to define our moral borders. As Muslim we have to protect the rights of other individuals, for their reputation, privacy, self esteem and we have to prohibit hate speech which can create Fitna in our society . In my opinion this court make clear that border. It's not a case of opinions, saaxib. The law should be above all of that and should only be concerned with guilt (or otherwise). If the SL government have no concerete evidence against this king then they should let him go. In fact, you should be one of the first to call for his release if at all you feel that the law applied here has not be adequate (regardless of your belief in the man's guilt or innocence). This is why lawyers defend murderers, child abusers or rapists. For unless there is a clear victim, enough evidence or even a rational case that may prove anyone's guilt, the courts should have no business in any political mudslinging and spinning. Of course, the Allgedo wailing there comes across as a form of "xaq yuraad bihi baatil" (truth used for dishonest motives) yet it still remains a truth. The king, the journalists or anyone within SL that does not agree with the goverment of the day should never be jailed on such filmsy motives and reasons. Or, at least, that's how a 'free' country should operate. Wax fahan.

^^ Needs no explaining, adeer. This is a "first world" topic that has no bearing on Somalia nor is worth the discussion really. Still, it makes me wonder if luxury cars can cope with the dodgy Somali roads in a "new" Somalia!

Might as well give this one another airing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I’m dying. It’s not a joke. I really think I’m dying. I’m not sure what it is I’m dying of but I suspect it may be food poisoning! Three days ago, I had a takeaway. It was the only meal I had all day. It was a delicious meal and as I was eating it I was telling myself that I should have takeaways more often. But, three hours later, I was sat in the toilet (and on it) groaning away like a man holding his middle finger and trying to extricate a stuck ring! My stomach feels very tender, my back hurts, my thighs ache, I keep trying to stop myself from vomiting and I feel dizzy. The food poisoning may kill me but it’s really not the reason why I think I’m dying. One of the real reasons for my imminent death is the shortness of breath I keep having every time I go to sleep at night. This has been happening for years but, lately, it got even more uncomfortable. You see, I’m the type of person that can not go to sleep with any lights on in the room. I have to sleep in total darkness or I don’t sleep at all. Therefore, every night, when I go to bed, I have to completely bury myself under the covers. But when I do, I feel claustrophobic and struggle for breath. On nights when I’m very tired I only need to hide under the covers for five minutes before I completely fall asleep and then, naturally and unconsciously remove the covers away from my face. However, I’m now getting old and my reflexes are not as good as they used to be! Where in the past when someone threw a punch at me I’d arrogantly (and quickly) crouch, touch the floor and then uppercut them all the way to Guatemala, I now merely touch my knee before breathlessly poking them on the chin. Before you start shaking your head and wondering what has that got to do with my sleep let me tell you that the answer is EVERYTHING. Just think about it for a minute, if my reactions have become that slow when I’m conscious and fully awake can you imagine how bad I am when I’m sleeping? What if one day, after I’ve covered my face and finally fell asleep, I forgot to take the covers of? This is what happens to all those people that die peacefully in their sleep you know. I don’t want to die peacefully in my sleep. I don’t want to make the grim reaper’s job easier! In fact, I suspect that Mr Reaper despises this type of death. He probably considers such people a second-rate sort of corpse. I’m a man of principle, I want to amount to something in life and would also want my death to count. Accidental suffocation is not something I’d want to go to my grave with. Besides, I don’t think it’s a peaceful death at all. Still, I know I’m dying. I’m not talking in a hundred years time when I’m a toothless old man. I’m talking today, next week or if I’m lucky next month at the latest. I’m not paranoid or a hypochondriac. I’m a reasonable, practical man. And when a reasonable, practical man finds a boil on his head a reasonable, practical man has good reason to fear death! I found it whilst having a shower. Just as I put the shampoo on and started to happily shove it about the greying hair, I felt a sting! You see, on average, I frequently feel a sting in one part of my body or another as I’m having a shower. But that’s usually because I’m a clumsy person that walks into things and accidentally scratches his hands or legs. I only find out about these scratches when I’m having a shower and applying the shampoo, soap or shower gel. To feel a sting in one’s head is something totally different though. How in the world did I manage to accidentally scratch my head? I don’t even have long finger nails; I eat them all away with worry about being suffocated in my sleep. This was a big boil. It was like a tiny volcano right in the middle of my head. It was gently spitting out hot lava and I felt its sizzling stings. I am going to die, I know I am. When this boil finally bursts and all my intelligence turns into yellow puss I’m going to fall asleep and forget to take the covers off my head! I’m not sure if all of this is related, and I’m afraid to ask a doctor lest he confirm my looming death. But I get these headaches! I’m talking real, painful and blinding headaches. Sometimes I blackout for split seconds; usually when I’m trying to touch my knees and poke someone’s chin. I see lightening in my eyes and hear thunder in my ears. Whenever that happens I try to hold my breath and wait for the MOMENT. It would be great to say that at that time I lament the whimper and wish for the bang, or sit and do a hamlet-like soliloquy. But, truly, and I have to tell the truth now because I may die at any minute, all I say to myself is that: I’m going to die. Oh. My. God! I’m going to die. I’m GOING to DIE! The wise people I spoke to all told me that everyone dies one day. But if I’m going to die I want it to be a special thing. I want people to talk about it in years to come and see how heroic I was. But no, I don’t want to die in a war or anything like that. Because what guarantees do I have that my side would win the war if I stormed the enemy’s front lines and died fighting? What if my death becomes nothing but the desperate actions of a glory-hunter? I don’t want to die in that way. In fact, I don’t want to plan my death. I want it to just happen. I want it to be peaceful. I want to die with an upset stomach, a blinding headache, scratches all over my body and a big dripping boil in the middle of my head. Nevertheless, I suspect that this is not going to happen. I already have all these problems and I’m not dead yet! Maybe my in growing fingernail is what will tip the scale!

Got to admire the mad effort that went into producing this nonsense.

^^ There is more to be hysterical about here, saaxib. The last one was between a Frenchman and a South American. This is between two English boys. Wait for it, the talk will start soon enough. They are letting the case finish and then they'll pick on the FA, race relations, Terry's personality, etc. (There is more milage in this story).

^^ Rotop warya. I did not understand a word of what you said there.

^^ The hysteria is sure to start AFTER the verdict. Nobody wants to be in contempt of court.

^^ Because though he may be proven to be an idiotic racist, there really was no need for such a trial. I mean, if found guilty, he only stands to pay £2,500! That is the maximum he'll have to suffer (other than the actual verdict and its implications for his image). But, for society as a whole, there is really not much benefit in this trial. It's foolish that the trial itself costs more than the eventual fine. The Suarez case was dealt with by the FA, a different body altogether. Here, the law stops the media from overdoing speculation.

Warya Jb, I told you that you need to open up a PR agency in H town ninyaho. Just an office, a desk and someone to mind the phones for you will do the job. The rest is all the same as you've been doing for free already anyway. Wax fahan. edit: Welcome back Faheema.

John Terry trial: Please please please could you repeat that? 11 July 2012 In a hilarious misunderstanding, John Terry was asked to repeat evidence that he had been sent off four times in his career. “Can you say, please, four times?” asked his QC, George Carter-Stephenson. “Please, please, please, please,” Terry responded. Guffaws of laughter broke out around the courtroom at the misunderstanding, which was a result of the judge asking Terry to speak up. The footballer appeared confused by response from the courtroom. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/john-terry-trial-please-please-please-could-you-repeat-that-7936075.html

^^ When America invaded Afghanistan and set up a transitional government there, they gave the job to Krazi. Today, almost twelve years later, he is the man in charge (transition around 2004, I think). When America invaded Iraq and set up a transitional government there, they gave the job to Talabaani (and PM to Maliki). Today, almost eight years later, both men are still in charge (transition also ended in 2004, I think). Now, unless the Samatar's and the others are all singing-all dancing brilliant men, I can't see the International Community (which would most certainly include America) helping anyone get the job other than their chosen candidate (the travelling Sheikh). After all, all that formatting they did on him when he fled the Ethiopians in 2007 can not be allowed to go to waste.
