I've been listening to Somali songs all day on my ipod. I dont know who sings 80% of them but this song has stuck in my head and the beginning goes like... onkod roobku ma daayo, ana taaha ma daayo, ana taa ma ilaabo, jaceyl ood rogan maayo, oon hilaac bi'in maayo, xera weerar ma daayo... Unfortunately, thats all I could memorize. Beautiful song

They retired. The fingers got jammed!

Though I later figured out that it meant qaad, I was really shocked that good Xiin would be accused using control substance in violation of the Law. @ Good Xiin. Atleast thats a likely charge. Is your name Mohamed by any chance?

Faarax, I havent given it a thought beyond the question. But it looks like you've... . Xiin, ma waxaad leedahay kaama hadhan? hmmm... mise albaabkey kugu sugaan, well aware of whats goin on inside? Yeah.. that makes more sense.

Originally posted by Kooleey: Well, if she wastes her hard earned cash on some brand name dacas, then of course the thought of mortgage is going to send her into a seizure. Dacas? as if! Shoes my dear Kooleey, pretty shoes i.e. are a necessity. What good is it to look bad (further diminishin ur chances of baggin the elusive farax) and still be short of mortgage requirements?

Aid agency warns of humanitarian crisis in Somaliasize> Agencies Friday January 20, 2006 An agency monitoring hunger in Somalia has warned of a humanitarian disaster with the country facing an "acute food and livelihood crisis". The Food Security Analysis Unit - which works on behalf of the UN and European and American aid agencies - said extreme drought had left 1.75 million people in need. "The crisis is particularly severe in the southern regions of Somalia, where an estimated 1.4 million people are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance," the unit said. It said more than 50% of Somalia's crops had failed - the country's worst harvest for 10 years. The drought has also spread into neighbouring countries. "Further stressing their plight, the drought is regional in nature, extending into Ethiopia and Kenya," the unit added. Aid agencies have warned that east Africa could be on the brink of catastrophe as food stocks in Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burundi, Eritrea and Tanzania also dwindle. The severity of the crisis has shocked people in Kenya, east Africa's richest nation. Earlier this month, the Kenyan president, Mwai Kibaki, declared the drought a national disaster and appealed for £85m in aid. The UN world food programme has reported that 11.5 million people in east Africa will require food assistance in the coming months. However, Somalia may be worst hit by the drought. It has been divided into warring, clan-based fiefdoms since the central government collapsed in 1991, and numerous efforts to restore order have so far failed. Piracy off of Somalia's coast has forced the WFP to stop using cargo ships to deliver food aid. Driving supplies along lawless roads leads to other problems and makes delivery difficult. The Food Security Analysis Unit said that, in addition to the grain shortage, between 20% and 30% of cattle in southern Somalia have died because of a lack of forage or water. Malnutrition is affecting 25% of the human population in some areas have reached. "While Somalia is normally one of the poorest and most food insecure countries in the world, current conditions are dire and way beyond the typically resilient Somali peoples' capacity to cope with stress," Nicholas Haan, the chief technical adviser to the unit, said. "The window of opportunity to avert disaster is quickly closing." Source Has this been reported anywhere else?

Daanyeer, my parents both held government jobs (not political but health) and were well paid. I think waa la i 'meeleyn' lahaa somehow, somewhere. Its not difficult when ur rich and well connected.

^ LoL. I too had a thing for 'fujis' (is this the right term?) or the bottom, burnt-out part of the food - rice, porridge, suugo... I was over-privileged in Somalia. I get depressed everytime I think of the life I could have had - with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Nabigu (scw) said black seed or al-habbastus-sawdaa has a healing effect (not cure!) for all kinds of ailments Castro, not particularly or just sexual inadequacy (waxaa Faaraxyada SOL baa keeney). You should take a tablespoon with honey every morning (mum does it!)… it is said to help with your overall feeling of well being.

Kheyr, I'd think this particular fatwa would personally upset you as it goes against the permissibility of this, which you passionately defended not too long ago. . There is no way you can possibly blv in both!

Kheyr, why are obsessed with the village people? You look like you'd fit right in there with the fake 'sheikh' look. I'm putting my bet on you knowing the YMCA routine as well p.s. I cant b more sentimental than normal, I was borg! :mad:

I think this is rather one of the good fatwas. Maxaa dharka idinka wada saaraya oo mudh idinka dhigaya? And maxaad ka eegeysiin 'meelahaa' up-close and personal? Ceeb badanaa.

Originally posted by Ducaqabe: A Sauid site imagery of jilbaab or an abuse on women in the pretext of Islamic sharia, does not speak of the principle of this great religion. I agree. Will you also agree with me that any other form of silly requisites passing off as the best hijab should be...revoked? Shouldnt a muslimah have the right to say - this is silly?

I take it no answer is forthcoming. Well Kashanre, I don’t want a war of words… not on diinta anyway. However, I don’t like in laygu dhaga hadlo (which I feel you and Xiin are doing). I also don’t like clustering in an attempt to blanket all discussion … i.e. connect invisible dots (ala Femme style). We really have two choices: 1) Discuss the subject civilly with no name-calling (hypocrites, munaafiqs, weak muslims, agnostics... SubxanAllah.. you dont even see the error of your ways and you talk like you're for the religion) and labeling and hope to come to an understanding. 2) Continue howling in the wind and beating that righteous-horse.
