Although this does not represent the progression made in race relations in the US, but this event clearly examines the "post-racial America" phenomena. Fear of the Black Male and profiling is so ingrained in society to the extent that white folks find themselves all of sudden threatened, even when a black youth is unarmed and walking away from them. It is shame that the US DOJ had to interfere provide for justice for the victim. The Orlando suburn police did not only let the murderer walk scot-free, but they tested the body of the victim for drugs assuming that the black youth had to be on drugs. The second part of the story, perhaps one that requires more scrutiny, is the STAND YOUR GROUND law that was sponsored the NRA(National Rifle Association). For those that are not aware, the NRA pours ton of cash into conservatives causes, and especially towards the protection of the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. The have gone as far as influencing the bills to allow automatic weapons in some states. They push for some effed up laws that put weapons in the hands of dangerous people like George Zimmerman. I would not be surprised if the victim's family sues the NRA once the criminal end is resolved. Lastly, and the saddest part, this should provide an opportunity for all to address the pandemic black youth killings in the hands of other black kids. Black kids have been dropping like flies in Chicago. The other day some on NPR said " black kid ain't dead until shot by a white person."

Nice pictures guys. I shall go back to live when elected to the parliament from Mudug, iA.

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto AY.

Shariifka realized AS were on the wrong side of history and he abandoned them, I understand you do not like the man, and for a good reason. But, in fairness to him, Shariifka came a long way from his 2006 days, it aint easy surviving among wolves in that part of the world.

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto, gebigood waa wada ciyaal yar.

Beautiful place though, looks bit ancient. Waa xagee Dhuudo actually ?

General Siciid Dheere & the interior minister, should they not be at work ? If I did not know them I would think they bodyguard him.

Shariifku waa nin rag ah ee iska daaya, wax sheeg ma laha.

Maadeey- Ii waran ? Dadkaan wee kaa bajinayaan ee iska daa, but word on the street is AY is not feeling well at all ee u soo duceey aboowe.

I agree, they will soon probably grant him the privilege of getting shot in the back of the head.

Waa tuug kale ninkan.

Maadeey- Your take on this, pls yaaqey. Video doctored ? Double agent ? What is the inside scoop ? My view: I hope he is not killed, he is worth more to the TFG alive. He can undo some of his crimes by speaking against violence waged in the name of religion to kill & maim the people.

Them kids funny weeye.

Duke, Abwaan & the rest- I attest to you Che has no relation to Maxamed Cabdi Yusuf, dhiig iyo dhacaanba. Chances are that he heard that name from you lot for the first time; chances are, also, that you guys are closely related to the man than he.

Abdullahi Yussuf did commit his share of crimes but nothing close to Caydiid's. Hate to disturb you with facts, but not equating AY with Caydiid has nothing to do with qabiil- just a mere fact.

This Tiiceey fellow, without raising his flag, seems competent. On the serious issue of impressive Somali leaders, we have not seen any since the late sixties. The environment is such that only crooks thrive, and the capable folks find themselves on the fringes of society. See below, and be the judge: Pre-Siad 1. Aden Cadde 2.Sharmake 3. A. H. Hussein 4. Egal 5. SYL 6. Sayyidka 7. Gurrey Siad & post-Siad 1. Siad 2. Caydiid 3. A. Yuusuf 4. Cali Mahdi 5.Geedi 6.Cumar Beebe 7. Mukulaalow 8. Cambuulo & Bun 9. Shariifka 10. Sakiinta

^Nin weliba xoogaagiisa waa loo suu tuuraa, Cambuulo.

Nice stuff, Mukulaaloow. People will tell you that Mr. Kulmiye was perhaps the smartest in that bunch. He avoided clashes with Barre, hence jail; remained within the ranks without having to held sensitive position, hence seemingly less responsible for any deeds committed by the Barre regime. Not surprised that he would talk about alternative energy, an issue that many are ignorant of today.

^It is true that this looks more like Ceel Daahir, formerly known as Ceel Doofaar, but what are we to do about the tabeelaha that says "Mansur City"?

Pretty neat idea for our towns and cities, especially residential zones. I hear the cracks between setts create natural drainage system, and besides places like Xamerweyne or old sections will look nicer with the whole throwback look.
