    Aaliyah: Hey walalao. I’m 22. LOL Is that even

    considered as young anymore? Well I suppose it

    is when being compared to Castro who’s dhowr iyo afartan jir. :D

     

    Tusbax: Aad aya uu mahadsan tahay.

  2. hi


    lol @ Internet warlords. I don’t think anyone on here has the means and authority to engage in war. ...

     

    But anyway, although I’m just as much of a hermit as you, I welcome you.

  3. JB: As in you’re in Africa, as we type?

     

    Complicated: I bet you’d look magnificent in some combat trousers, military jacket and some patrol boots. With a mijin of qaat under your armpit. :D


  4. The 27-year-old was returned to prison on Tuesday, nine years after he was released on licence with a new identity after serving eight years for the murder of the toddler on Merseyside in 1993.

     

    Ministers have not said exactly why he was returned to jail, but reports have claimed he has enjoyed nights out in Liverpool under his new identity.

     

    Mr Straw said the recall to custody involved some "extremely serious allegations" as he prepared to meet the dead boy's mother, Denise Fergus.

     

    Venables and Thompson were aged 10 when they abducted James from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseryside and killed him on a railway line, on February 13, 1993. They became Britain's youngest murderers.

     

    In a statement issued by the Ministry of Justice, Mr Straw said: "I was unable to give further details of the reasons for Jon Venables' return to custody, because it was not in the public interest to do so.

     

    "Our motivation throughout has been solely to ensure that some extremely serious allegations are properly investigated and that justice is done."

    What’s your take on it, do you think Jon Venables new identity and alleged offence should be publicized?


  5. TogaHerer & CY: I totally get what you mean; your family makes the entire experience so much more exciting. smile.gif

     

    Complicated: lol It was a typo. So anyway, what do you miss the most about home?


  6. It was the summer of 2004 and I had just finished completing my GCSEs. This year wasn’t going to be like my usual summer holiday, jam packed with fun and adventure; I wasn’t looking forward to it at all, infarct I was dreading it. I was travelling to Hargeisa, waqooyi galbeed with my dad and two sisters for the first time. At the time I saw it as more of a chastisement rather than are a reward for all of my hard work. I tried thinking of the pros and cons. And after a few hours of contemplating, the only thing that came to mind was *I’m going to come back looking like a walking/talking charcoal who’s undernourished* and that was it. Well, that was until my older sister who had already been to Somaliland the year before told me that Somaliland looks just like America, only better. Me being the naive teenager that I was, I foolishly believed her and I don’t think I’d ever felt so excited. :D

     

    When we landed at Egal international airport, it was around 10 pm local time. As I was coming down the airplane stairs, I had this overwhelming feeling, the sun was glowing and there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. I remember Somali men in bright coloured jumpsuits with ‘NASHA’ written on the back all rushing and literally fighting over who would load our luggage in the car for us. I was having a brainless Paris Hilton moment thinking *Oh wow, that’s nice of them. They’re so welcoming* I soon realised that you had to pay them money. redface.gif

     

    I sometimes laugh when I think back of even the smallest of events. On the Second day of our vacation, I remember going out to Suuqa hoose with my sisters and a few older reer Hargeisa cousins ( waan iswada daba qaxi jirnay). Every time someone would stare at us with bewilderment, my sister would nudge me and mumble ‘’ Naa bisinka qabso’’ lol.

     

    I loved waking up to the sound of the adhan, and sitting on top of shubka whilst watching the sun rise and listening to the sound of the birds singing. I also loved the sound of kids blissfully playing outside, during the hours of galinka dambe. I also loved how we all use to stay up late at night exchanging old stories; the view of the sky at night is totally breathtaking. I also loved meal times; we’d all eat together in one dish, which is something we hadn’t done in a long time, waan kala boobi jirnay. Oh yeah and Fridays were my favourite days. We’d dedicate it to self grooming lol.

     

    My sister may have lied about one thing, but she sure didn’t lie when she said (Somaliland) is better than America (why she said America of all places, I don’t know). In fact, there’s no comparison. smile.gif

     

    That summer I had a life changing experience. It changed my whole entire outlook on life; it taught me a lot about myself and to be proud of my heritage.

     

    What do you miss about Somalia/land the most?
