  1. This is excellent Turkish court decision to correct the illegal conversion by Mustafa Kamal of Hagie Sophia into a museum. It will still be open to turism but now Muslims can pray in it as they have for more than 500 years. As usual Recep Tayib Erdogan shows leadership where it matters. Those who are complaining, let them while millions of Muslims have a change to pray at this magnificant mosque there by honoring Sultan  Mehmet II (Mohamed Al-Fatih.)

  2. Another self inflicted damage, unless secessionists gave up completely dismembering Somalia and want to emulate Taiwan. Just like Hong Kong is being swallowed by China, Taiwan will eventually become part of China.

    1. I dont engage in takfir - if someone says they're an atheist, then that's one thing. However, I'm not going to accuse someone of being an atheist, kafir or non-believer, if they don't profess to be one.

    2. I have found every one of the anti-Somalilanders in this thread to be nothing but hypocrites and slander merchants. They are constantly attacking others and running with silly gossip and rumours, with no credible sources backing anything they say up. So excuse me for not instantly coming to their defence.

    1. He does not deny he is gaal, why?. Let him state he is a muslim believer and then I will admit I am wrong. Otherwise he is free to be gaal, it is between him and Allah. 

    2. You are new here so you don't know  much of secessionsts insults. Stick around and you will see the mother of insults from your neck of the woods. Pot meet kettle.


  4. Apophis is an ancient Egyptian diety, is that a clue that he is proud of being gaal. He hijacked this threat by insulting the Somali language Af-may as a rebuke to MMA thread. He has nothing to contribute in SOL expect one liner insults of entire people  that makes discussion impossible. I suggest don't help him in his constant denigration of SOL discussions. 


  5. Almost all Muslim Scholars use calculation for negation, meaning if it is impossible to see the moon according to astronomical data, they would not accept a reported sighting. There is no arrogance in informing our Somali scholars to consult with astronomers on moon sighting so that they can avoid accepting false sighting. Those Somali scholars in the west specially bear responsibility to understand birth of the moon and location of possible sighting using astronomical data calculations.

  6. Maakhiri1 I heard one Somali scholar based in Mnpls was warned that the sighting of the crescent was wrong astronomically and he kept telling the non-Somali scholar that he talked to people in Somalia and 40 people saw the new moon. These Somali scholars based in the west should investigate for themselves this matter and if they come to the conclusion that the sighting information they received was wrong, they should admit their mistake.

  7. Gabeedi,

    Yes as Fiq Council in North America published below, It was impossible to see the moon anywhere  in the world at sunset. The new moon was born at 5:40pm before sunset and therefore impossible to see.

    The Astronomical New Moon is on Friday, May 22, 2020 at 17:40 Universal Time. On that day there is no place on earth where at sunset the elongation is 8 degrees and moon is 5 degrees above the sun. Therefore Shawwal 1441 cannot start the next day. Hence first day of Shawwal is on Sunday, May 24, 2020, insha’Allah.

    This shows that Somali Ulama lack any understanding of crescent astronomy and unfortunately including those who are in the west who blindly followed Somali Scholars in the Horn of Africa. They should be advised that they declared Eid on fasting day and must advice people to make up that day. 


  8. According to astronomical data, the moon was impossible to be see on Friday any where in the world, let alone Somalia there for, the month of Ramadan is to be completed and Eid is Sunday. Any Somali who celebrated Eid on Saturday should fast one day to make up for breaking fast on Saturday.


  9. Is Halane Galbeedi. I can't tell any difference what Halane is saying and what Galbeedi writes. Even if that is not the case, this is the opinion of Farmaajo supporter who overlooks the failure of making the fight against shabaab the number one priority of the Federal government which will have, eventually.  lead to the removal of Amisom from the south of Somalia.


  10. Galbeedi the problem for strong national is not because of Kenya/UAE/Saudi Arabia as you claim and regional governments who are not following the federal government. The problem is Farmaajo & Khayre have forgotten their core mission which is get rid of shabaab and ultimately Amisom. They are creating enemies of regional governments who have, like Puntland, more effective governance and security. 

    The effective power of the federal government will follow once they show their demonstration in fighting shabaab, defeating them and ultimately removing Amisom troops from the country. They have no business getting in the midst  of useless Gulf Arab quarrels.


  11. Secession is not a serious option for Puntland because that will not work as Somaliland demonstrated. Even the rich Emirates united to form United ARAB Emirates. Most Puntlanders are against secession and want to see the federal system to succeed. Unfortunately the rest of Somalis want to go back to one city Mogadishu rule which has been disaster for Somalia. What Puntland leaders need to do is be patient and continue to push for decentralized federal system where all Somalis are stakeholders in order to establish effective home rule in the interest for all Somalis.

    Hubsiimo hal baa lasiistaa. Marka arintan u malaymaayo in wax ka jiraan. Waayo Puntland waa hooyaddii midnimadda Somalia oo way hortaagan tahay go'itaanka Somaliland. 


  13. This is not good investment, it will just take hard earned money to South Korea. This may become white elephant business if they can not sell enough new cars to justify this huge investment. The company is in trouble in the telephone business and is under performing in their money transfer business  inside Somalia.

     Somali businessman are basically traders and middle man. Instead of building hotels or importing luxury items, they could invest in agriculture, fishing, small scale manufacturing etc.
