No, Naden my sister, the religion forbids such things; a man can only be with one of his wives at any time. Thus the whole R, rated scenario is not viable. That was funny though, but not feasible in a Muslim household. Like I said before dear, its up to the individual and there are certain requirements. I can see some of you are getting angry , and no doubt the delivery of the message should have been better. Zafir, sister yes, there are plenty of single Somali men, who want to marry sisters of any age group. However if a woman falls in love with a man, and he is married why should they not get married, if he is able to ?

^^^lool..

Must say, she looks good, and the TV is nice, at least she is not asking some "Somali" dude at a European airport for Coffee

^^^It is adeer, thats why you are still holding your head in shame.

LG: If are to take the article assertions as fact. Then the man was turned in jail, and did not just out of love for Zionisam become an Israeli spy. Peacenow: Israel is supported by the US, which has armed it to the teeth, and by the large jewish Diaspora, its not as successful as some claim. An American millitary outpost is how, Noam Chomsky described it.

I am not sure there is anything wrong with polygamy, its not agaisnt Islam. Though it would depend on the individual. I dont know why, Zafir is mad at the brother, its uncalled for. Naden, what orgy? Thats forbidden. So I for one dont get your point..

Sherbeen, Somali's can use those terms, so be careful lad. Its like a white man using the word N, its frowned upon. Xaji-Xunduf, I care adeer, why local elections have not been held in NW Somalia to decide who will reside in Villa Morgan in the next few years.

My sister, I must disagree with you. Positive incremental change is taking place in Africa today. Take the example of the rapidly developing economies of Mozambique & Angola. You did not fully grasp my earlier point, the problem as you have correctly mentioned is the exploitation of Africa by the western powers. The emergence of other great powers will change the playing field as African nations will be able to negotiate better terms for their commodities. The Chinese are investing heavily in Africa, building new roads, ports, not because they loves us anymore than Europeans, but because they need to get the natural resource for their developing economy. The Europeans & America are reacting by changing their approach to doing business in the continent and giving the nations they neglected sweetness unthinkable a decade or so ago. Foreign direct investment is pouring into the continent, because of the potential for rapid economic growth with potential good returns. South Africa is a remarkable nation, the ANC has changed that country for the better, the blacks are empowered and run every level of government, sloppy leadership does exist. However let me address one point, the Afrikaners are also citizens of that nation & Africans and should not as you implied be exiled. The growth of the black middle class, as well as the education of a whole new generation of South Africans has vindicated the vision of Mandela. Lets not play down our success and forever keep our selves in the gutter. Yes, many Africans are without much needed resources, but this is the case even in China, & India, yet with time these things can be addressed as the continents economy grows and specially when African nations start to develop trade with each other. Again I disagree with you, Africa is emerging from the darkness, it will take time, but we have seen a turn around.

^^^This is worthless? The fact that Riyaale is in power without holding an election. Is worthless, but pretending to get recognition from the Jewish state is worthy material? Give us a break lad, this is the most important info, coming out of Hargaysa. The weakness of the secessionist agenda shall be exposed, if you like it or not.

^^^Slow indeed adeer, the election was supposed to be held in April 2008, whats the date today?

Maxaatiri My sister, I understand your anguish, however I see a different Africa emerging in the next couple of decades, if one takes a holistic look at the continent today, one realizes that it has less conflict, more cohesion [AU] and a number of rising nations led by, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania and others. Even the world cup is being held for the first time in the continent. Today Africa has other options in a multi-polar world. The emergence of China, India and their need for natural resources will also allow the continent to leverage the newcomers against the old imperialist and kick start their own development. The west is also changing, people of color are playing key roles in western democracies and are changing the way the majority think. It is remarkable that a son of Africa today is the President of the United States. We have a long way to go but I have no doubt that soon, there will be peace in the old continent and much progress.

It is no doubt a prayer learned from the Brits, Cumba ya my lord, Cumba ya..

^^^No he is not, Faroole controls more than 2KM, and is not running away from being Somali. Thus the leader of Puntland hasa great advantage.

Maxaatiri, a great topic, thanks. These westerners will never apologise for this until Africa becomes powerfull, then they will grovel as they do with the Chinese today.. On one occasion, hearing a great noise from belowdecks where the blacks were chained together, the sailors opened the hatches and found the slaves in different stages of suffocation, many dead, some having killed others in desperate attempts to breathe. Slaves often jumped overboard to drown rather than continue their suffering. To one observer a slave-deck was "so covered with blood and mucus that it resembled a slaughter house." Under these conditions, perhaps one of every three blacks transported overseas died, but the huge profits (often double the investment on one trip) made it worthwhile for the slave trader, and so the blacks were packed into the holds like fish. First the Dutch, then the English, dominated the slave trade. (By 1795 Liverpool had more than a hundred ships carrying slaves and accounted for half of all the European slave trade.) Some Americans in New England entered the business, and in 1637 the first American slave ship, the Desire, sailed from Marblehead. Its holds were partitioned into racks, 2 feet by 6 feet, with leg irons and bars. By 1800, 10 to 15 million blacks had been transported as slaves to the Americas, representing perhaps one-third of those originally seized in Africa. It is roughly estimated that Africa lost 50 million human beings to death and slavery in those centuries we call the beginnings of modern Western civilization, at the hands of slave traders and plantation owners in Western Europe and America, the countries deemed the most advanced in the world.

It is propoganda, the fact that they credit him with the arrest of Marwan Bourgouti is utter bull, they knew where he was as he was not in hiding. The rest is not believable.

^^^When is this election suppose to take place? No secessionist can answer this question, since there is no date. Yet "Somaliland" according to some here is a democracy, which is reclaiming the lost British Somali territories to the East. They want to take the election to Erigavo, SOOL and yet they do not know when that election will take place.

The supreme Mugger

The mindless secessionists in search of the ever elusive recognition are being fooled by the master in Villa Morgan. Riyaale is feeding the happless SNM, with fictitious stories of SOOL occupation and conquest towards the east; all the while he steals from the poor tax payer and keeps the SNM clan hostage. The audacity of the former NSS chief and his robber barons has to be noted, the sniffling SNM militia, castrated in the traingle, with their false clan pride and non existent nation have indeed met their match. The election, when will it be held?

Yup a reliable source lad..

He was turned by Israeli agents in 1996 when he spent a year in an Israeli jail. From the moment he was released the following year he began providing information to the Shin Bet, the paper said. What happened in jail that turned him?

Son of senior Hamas figure claims to be Israeli informantChristian convert Mosab Hassan Yousef tells newspaper he supplied valuable intelligence to Shin Bet security agency guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 24 February 2010 12.33 GMT Article history The son of a senior Hamas leader, who converted to Christianity and renounced his family's Islamist background, was named by an Israeli newspaper today as Israel's most-valuable informant for more than a decade. Mosab Hassan Yousef, 32, who moved to the US three years ago, supplied intelligence to Israel's internal security agency, the Shin Bet, that led to the capture of leading Palestinian militants and prevented suicide bombings, said Ha'aretz. He was known by the Shin Bet as the Green Prince, because of his father's importance. The newspaper said it had spoken to Yousef ahead of the publication of his memoirs next week. If the account is true, it suggests Israeli intelligence had penetrated Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement, to a far greater degree than thought. Yousef has led a life distinctly unusual for the son of a Hamas official. A decade ago he converted to Christianity, at first keeping the news secret from his family, and it is not clear how closely he was ever involved in the Hamas organisation. In 2007, he moved to California and took the name Joseph. He is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a senior Hamas figure from the occupied West Bank who was a Palestinian MP and is now in an Israeli jail serving a six-year term. Yousef junior supplied intelligence to the Shin Bet during the height of the second intifada, the Palestinian uprising that began in late 2000, and according to Ha'aretz his information led to the arrest of two senior Hamas figures, Ibrahim Hamid and Abdullah Barghouti, as well as the influential Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti. He was turned by Israeli agents in 1996 when he spent a year in an Israeli jail. From the moment he was released the following year he began providing information to the Shin Bet, the paper said. It reported Yousef as saying he was ready to help the Israeli military free Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier captured in 2006 by Gazan militants and who is now being held by Hamas. "I wish I were in Gaza now," Yousef was quoted as saying. "I would put on an army uniform and join Israel's special forces to liberate Gilad Shalit. If I were there, I could help. We wasted so many years with investigations and arrests to capture the very terrorists that they now want to release in return for Shalit. That must not be done." In the interview he speaks openly of his criticisms of Hamas. "Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis. That is against what their god tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels, only a ceasefire, and no one knows that better than I. The Hamas leadership is responsible for the killing of Palestinians, not Israelis." In his book, Yousef names his Israeli handler as Captain Loai. The handler, who was not fully identified, was quoted by Ha'aretz as confirming Yousef's account. "So many people owe him their life and don't even know it," he said. "He did things he believed in. He wanted to save lives. His grasp of intelligence matters was just as good as ours – the ideas, the insights."

Nice one, some good news, will try to watch this film.

“My government has no powers; we need international support to restore law and order in Somalia,” he said.
