  1. 2012 saw the rebirth of Mogadishu and the first ever TEDx event in Somalia. In 2013, we will reflect on the past, present and future, exploring the ideas, innovations and traditions that once built and will again rebuild this country. Peace has continued to take hold, children are playing in the streets, and the beaches are filled with weekend swimmers. A parliament has been formed, constitution approved, and a new cabinet of ministers is leading Somalia back onto the international stage. Every day that goes by is a historic day, and TEDxMogadishu will highlight the incredible voices that have fought against all odds to make this possible.

     

    It is time to rediscover Somalia.

    This piece by anonymous is rubbish, statistics are made up for the most part and most Somali parents worked their a*ss off to ensure their kids took part in the opportunities they never had. That we have some kids who under performed or criminals etc like any other community is a given- but the writer is trying to connecting FAILING with being SOMALI!

     

    MAybe the Economist could not tracked down any successful Somalis due to their poor research skills- I would be happy to provide a list!

     

    Somalis in the UK should write a rebuttal and complain.

    Various people are responding and this fact alone is an indication that Somalis have moved on. Most of the statistics being bandied around about Somalis are from the 90s and early 2000s and not a reflection of British Somalis today.

    Mohamed Moge (AUN) only had a dhaughter and passed away long before Ahmed 'Moge' Yare was born.


  4. ^Calm down love, it isn't a general statement about athiesm but an observation of the numerous population/birth control threads started mostly by the Somali atheists here. It's also a tongue in cheek-type of comment.

     

    Classified,

    LOL. It's crazy, right?


  5. Salaaams lady - eid wanaagsan. A mashruuc is an investment / business project, I'm sure there is a pure Somali word - can't think of one now. I agree with Juxa, there are so many opportunities now. WorldRemit is an online xawaala.

    Salaamaat@ nuune. Give us an update yah? :D

     

    Update on the campaign - there's a lot of support from labour MPs who have along with Somalis taken a petition to No.10, the new goal is to start a parliamentary debate - this needs over 100, 000 signatures.


  6. ^haha. Odey baa sidaa iigu xayasiiyay, OTT xayasiis in fact, so I've asked him if he was a share holder, "off course" ayuu yidhi, so I said that I will start using WR it for his sake.. :D It's very convenient, I've always wondered why other xawalas didn't offer this service. Adna mid noo bilow, I'll buy shares and do OTT xayasiis for you as well. :):D

     

    Eid mubarak people :)
