^^ Defending? War I have an allergy to nonsense. Present the issue in the right context and I'll happily pummel the Saudis and their backwards stances. Give me dodgy articles full of holes and I'll just focus on the lies instead. Wax fahan.

^^ Why is it not required and how can they ensure that (most) voters are genuine?

^^ Rubbish. You're the type who when you see a naked man with a runny nose, get all worked up over the runny nose. Saudi Arabia has many faults and problems that can be blamed directly on the Al Saud family but THIS is not one of them. Wax fahan.

^^ You're right. Somalis never learn. They've been fighting and bad mouthing "liberators" since 1993.

^^ Hello, Ann Robinson! (when are you off?).

^^ He runs the country dee. Ileen you expect the King to know every little decision made within his country, why not expect Siilaanyo to know the same? By the way, it's not ONLY women that are reported. It's only men under twenty one years of age. (this is REALLY nothing new).

^^ Does Siilaanyo personally count every crate that gets unloaded from Berbera port? Bal waxaad ku hadlaysa eeg!

You know that they actually think that they're modernising, don't you? In fact, the ministry that deals with this had issued a press release in September telling people of this news. In the past, Saudi women had to use the "yellow sheet" that was signed by their guardians to allow them to travel. Now, and with this new "advancement", the whole thing can be done via SMS. The ministry believes it is making people's lives easier with this new initiative. Now one can argue for or against the fairness of such a system (and I'm against it personally), however, I also dislike they way news is reported in such an underhand way. All that happened here is that an old paper system has been switched to an electronic system and NOT what the Western reports are saying about electronic tagging or the Saudi “activist” saying about some clandestine way of catching women out, etc. All in all, I fail to see where the AL Sauds fit into such an administrative inequality! Naga daaya dee.

^^ Qatar is a little Maqaaxi that is not much bigger than Gaza itself. Alpha, To those that worry about petty details, this is exactly what we're doing, saaxib. But I am hoping that I'm tackling an entirely different malice here.

Do they have insurance in Garissa, Che?

^^ THE Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud (pic), has ordered his government to allocate food and medical aid worth US$60 million for the Somali refugees to be provided through the World Food Programme and the World Health Organisation. The directive was passed down following the country's weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers on Monday, according to a media release by the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia here. "The Council of Ministers expressed the sympathy and pain that the Saudi Government feels for the people of Somali who are suffering from bad security and living conditions that has resulted in the deaths of thousands and the displacement of another hundres of thousands who are searching for food and shelter." "The Council has made an appeal to the International Community bodies and organisations to quickly intervene and exert efforts to halt this humanitarian crisis which has exacerbated due to the civil wars and drought gripping the Horn of Africa," the release read. http://www.bt.com.bn/news-world/2011/07/29/saudi-king-orders-us-60m-govt-aid-somali-refugees http://www.kuna.net.kw/ArticleDetails.aspx?id=2181455&language=en The State of Kuwait has contributed 250 thousand US dollars to UNICEF in Somalia for humanitarian response to the continuing food crisis. The support was announced by His Excellency Mr. Mansour Ayyad Al-Otaibi, Permanent Representative of Kuwait to the United Nations http://www.unicef.org/media/media_60472.html Later in the year, the relief effort to tackle the food crisis in the Horn of Africa rapidly became international. According to the UN, "non-traditional donors" including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, China, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates contributed roughly a third of new funding for Somalia in the first 100 days after famine was formally declared on 20 July. After the US and the UK, Saudi Arabia is the third-largest single-country donor there and Turkey is fifth .] http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2011/dec/13/global-aid-developing-world-provost Ma wada?

^^ Heh. Silly kid. I bet Juxa would have slapped him if she was there. Oz, Yes he's a zonal marking man. But he should get more from the players and make them more organised. It all depends on the players though. Chelsea's squad is known for being difficult to work with (ask AVB).

^^ You don't count. You will defend Ibti regardless. Bax ban ku idhi.

^^ It's like when we got Dalglish out of his cruise and he did well for us for those first six months.

^^ You walked into the wrong kind of argument, saaxib. There is no love lost between Ibti & Alpha and this is the normal style of conversation they have. Ka dhix bax and join me in mocking Wyre's love life.

^^ Alpha enjoys the karbaash. It's good for the newbies to learn this.

^^ Heh. On that point, let me give you a different angle. In the summer, I saw a Somali guy going round offering money to old Somali ladies, odayal and students with crippling loans. I wondered where he suddenly got all this new money from (he was giving it out freely). Turns out that he knew some rich Arab guy who wanted to give out "sadaqa" and gave him 45,000 pounds to spread to all the needy people he knew. Of course, I found out about it too late, or I would have pretended to have a problem with a load shark that wants me to pay £15,000 or something.

^^ The shaah is the worst of the lot anyway. The half bag of sugar they put in it is equal to four meals. Sabaax al baraseetimoool ya Somal.

^^ If you, Abwaan, tortured ME I would not say "Soomaali waa is laysay wixii dhacay in Ilaah loo daayo ayaa habboon", I will go right after you, saaxib. But if you tortured Jb, I may ask him to let bygones be bygones. Wax fahan.

Who cares. No biggie. 'Somalis are lucky they're getting news time' Don't bite my head off warya. He is making a point here and has given an example of his point that seemed to be out of date, I attracted his attention to it. He brought a more recent example. I say that's more like it, even if you don't. Wax fahan. As for what's happening in Garissa, it's an internal Kenyan issue. Somalis should be taking it up with the lovely Farah, or his amazing son or the defence minister himself. Apo says they're lucky to be getting news time but I say they're luckier than any Somali that may happen to be treated in this way inside Somalia itself (at least here, these guys have representatives in the government; Somalis in Somalia who get trampled on in such a way are usually the small clans that have no backing). Naga daaya dee.
