Originally posted by N.O.R.F: Roy has only been in the job two months. Rafa will lose the Scudetto (with the best squad in Seria A). And? Does that mean he has to play with two holding midfielders (just like Rafa) or evne choose Lucas (who you hate)? The two months of Roy prove that Rafa was not wrong. The only shame is that the master has been replaced with an English pretender. But you will not admit it now (I'll give you until Feb time).

^^ Yes, under your Peace Action name.

^^ Way kaa xumaatay, Mr Xamaasad. I was lampooning the way the news was told not guessing if they are telling the truth or not.

Originally posted by Thankful: I dont think you understand, they are saying that if this story was true then the ONLF must be brillant for being able to cover up any evidence to support the claims...examples being weapons, the dead and other proof that so many men died. I understand English, saaxib. That is not what was written there. Naga daaya dee.

Once upon a time, a brave battalion of ONLF fighters landed in the hostile SL coast. These brave bands of brothers were unexpected, unanticipated and unwanted guests. Their story has become the stuff of legend. Many historians have attempted to piece together what actually happened on that eventful day. The Somaliland National Archives, the Ethiopian Federal Library and the ONLF Historical Documents contain official correspondence between various members of the three sides discussing the unfolding events. Here are some: .................. Dear Minster, Our Ethiopian allies report the existence of ONLF troops in SL soil. They claim the rebels have landed in Saylac and are making their way to the Ethiopian border. We await your orders on this matter. Cabdi Wax ma arke SL Secret Service ............................ Dear Cabdi, This is serious news. Bal i yara sug. Dr Gaboose Minster bila war ..................... Dear Army Cheif, Warka ma maqashay? ONLF ayaa wadanka ku tamashliinaysa! Ka hor tag.

Dear Army Cheif, Madaxweenoho wuu horda. Yaan la i tuusin ayu yedhi. Hadwotaa loo sheegi. Dr Gaboose Minster horda haysaa ........................... Dear Minster, Gartay. Hadaba Madaxweene ku xigeenka warkan miyuu la socda? Ileen waa xaafadihiise. Nin Qori kale cabaystay SL Army ........................... Dear Minster, ONLFTA buuraha ayaay hada marayaan. Ee maxaad ka sameen doontan? Cabdi oo hada indhaha furay SL Secret Service ............................ Dear Cabdi, I yara sug ban ku idhi Minster wareeray Dr Gaboose ....................... Dear Army Cheif, Raggi ma ka hor tegtay? Minster dagdagaya Dr Gaboose .................. Dear Minster, Ciidanko waa diyaar ee madaxweenaha miyuu tuusay? Nin rasaas sita Army Cheif ...................... Dear Army Cheif, Madaxweenuho hargab ayaa ku dhacay, raga iska weerara. Minster amar bixinaya Dr Gaboose ..................... Dear ONLF Command, We have made it across and we are now getting into our barrels. Nin baaldi dhix fadhiya ONLF contingent ..................... Dear ONLF Figther, The Ethiopians have found out about you. Cagaha wax ka daya. Nin sheekado ka xumaan gaadhay ONLF Command ................. Dear Melez We have informed the SL army of the rebel trespassers, they are on their way to intercept them from their side of the border. Nin af xabashi wax ku qoray Ethiopian Army ..................... Dear Army Cheif, DID YOU APPREHEND THE TRESPASSERS YET? Dr Gaboose .................. Dear Minster, We did not find them. Are you sure there were trespassers in our territory? Nin yaaban SL Army ...................... Dear army cheif, Haaa! Haa! Magaalo o dhan ayaa argtay. Hada buuraha ayaay joogan. KA HOR TAG! Nin cadhaysaan GABOOSE ...................... Dear ONLF COMMAND, We have reached the mountains and are on our way to the border. We shall try to evade the Ethiopian army. Nin baaldi ka so baxay ONLF contingent .................. Dear Minster, We have reached the mountains and are surrounding them from our side of the border. The Ethiopians are covering the other side. Nin dagaaal o diyaar SL Army ..................... Dear Army Cheif, Well done. Make sure you deal with this incident efficiently. Nin warka la socda Dr Gaboose ................... Dear ONLF Contingent, Xagay idin la maraysa? Nin warka sugaya ONLF Command .................... Dear ONLF COMMAND, We have evaded both armies and are now in the motherland. We left behind five elite scouts to cover our back. Niman sigtay ONLF Contingent .................. Dear Minster, We have captured five trespassers and are still surrounding the rest. Nin guulaystay SL Army .................... Dear Army Cheif, WELL DONE. Ha ka hadhin ban ku idhi. Nin laba mobile sita Dr Gaboose .................. Dear Melez, We have intercepted and defeated the ONLF contingent. Nin xidig cusob sugaya Ethiopian Army ..................... Dear Minster, Arr maxa wadanka ka socda?

Nin plaano kala dhigaya ONLF COMMAND ............................ Dear ONLF, Sidaad ka baxsateen ciidamada SL iyo Ethiopia? Nin farsamada ka xumaatay Sheikh Atam .............................

^^ Xalwo yes but no hugs (your head might hit my knee).

^^ The details didn't matter? They do this every day, do they? Warya.. if you're going to spin it dee at least entertain me. At any rate, I am asking so that I have an idea of the full story from your side (full story) before comparing it to the two other sides.

^^ I am asking you about the landing and reaching the border part dee. How did that happen? Was it done openly or was it a covert operation (i.e. Salt jars) as SL claims?

^^ So they deny it but at the same time say it demonstrates tactical and logistical brilliance?

Another topic? Err..where is Juxa?

^^ No. No. Come, come saaxib. I'll even buy you dinner afterwards. But I'm sick (and I bet she is too) of seeing Ibti everywhere I go dee. We don't even talk when we meet, we just nod at each other and go about our business.

^^ Don't ask for dirty hip hop songs, you crazy fasting woman. Someone (other than Jb) may just oblige you with real filth.

^^ Good girl. Jb, I don't have youtube at work.

^^ Have what? Adeer dee hadalkaaga xawaashka ku badi oo dhadhan o yeel. Ama wait for A&T to show you how it is done like I just told you.

^^ Shuush. Don't spoil it now. Wait for A&T to explain first.

^^ I hope you're not going. Acutally, don't go. I don't want to see familiar faces.

^^ Taa shalaytay aheed. Maanta waa maalin cusub. Miyaanad arag kuwa laha waa Awdal Uprising maanta isbadalka ay la yimaadeen; dee A&T isna mala wuu is badalay. Haduu doono wuxu odhan "sida xizbuallah ayaan 'tunnels' qodnay".

Jb, so Somaali maaha? So riwaayad maaha? Afkooda hadanaan fahmin dee gacmohoodaan fahmaya. (now you said that, I will make a point of going).

You didn't say how they managed it, A&T. Did they brazenly march through SL territory until they reached the border, as some are saying? Or did they follow the Ali Baba & Forty thieves' method of hiding in jars of oil, as the SL authorities claim?

^^ I think I'll give it a go. Wonder if I'll be allowed to film it on my phone.

^^ The Inter and the Spurs games were both good. Man U was rubbish.

^^ Was it you? But you're rubbish under all your names, saaxib.

Ibti, nope I am not wrong. This is a storm in a tea cup, dear. The story is from the BBC. It is in the words of a SOMALI ETHIOPIAN who is a cousin of these ONLF fighters. Exaggeration and propaganda are par for the course. I expect the ONLF to now claim they killed five thousand Ethiopian soldiers in retaliation. You and Sayid are either shocked by the story itself, which is naive. Or you are shocked by the attitudes of the kids in SOL, which is foolish. On the story part, until all sides begin to report the news fully we would not know what has taken place in that part and we may as well hold off the wailing a little. As for the SOL kids, is such talk new to you? Dee naga daaya (you and Sayid have more sense than to panic about such nonesense).

^^ I blame Sayid for this rubbish reply of yours, Ibti. He started this silly game.
