  1. Elections in Somalia ? ...no..no..Somaliland? What part of the atlas is a place called Somaliland on?
  2. Ms Word I swear I kind of agree. People generally tend to overlook the Somali state's golden period between 1969-1977. It was after the Ogaden War of 1977 that the country went into decline and resulted in the civil war and stuff. But I kind of agree with you.
  3. Nafisa sweetie check this website out It talks about the Somali people's origins. http://www.civicwebs.com/cwvlib/africa/somalia/1995/reunification/appendix_4.htm
  4. I would clone my long lost uncle Usama bin Ladan!!!! and That aint a lie, my uncle gave America a run for its money, a long run that is.
  5. Ms Word Abaayo Macaanto thanx I appreciate your words. I should be calling you down to earth, because while I concerned with the Somalis back home, you're more concerned with the ones in the diaspora. I have read your post the Assimilation of the Somalis, that was just da bomb how you summed it all up. I mean the difficuties facing us Somali youth today. Keep spreadinng the truth, abaayo. :eek:
  6. BinJabarti- I just figured that out too. The Darood clan and the Eritrean jabartis might be related. I had no idea, now I have to question my whole identity. But there are a lot of other Jabartis. But first I'm a Muslim. Then Somali. Then Darood. Then Marehaan. Thats how every Somali person should divide his loyalties and to what part of him/she should work for first. First a Muslim. Then Somali, and so on.
  7. Chose the best econmic system with will bring long-term properity and developement to Somalia.
  8. Choose the most likely system that will bring long-term peace and mutual cooperation to Somalia.
  9. Ladiif aboowe I'm a man. EVERYONE my fault for doing this vote again. I originally put it up on camel milk debates and had no idea it was transferred to politics section. MY FAULT.
  10. Af-Somali is such a poetic language that there is a simile or metaphor for every term. Thats one of the reasons Somalia is called a nation of poets(gabay). Our language is rich in culture and the expressive way everything is named. I don't believe Somali is a Cushitic language, though. I'm waiting for someone to finally place Somali as a Semetic language. We have to many "kh"s and "gh"s to be Cushitic. A while ago, I was watching a speech Saddam Hussein was making on C-SPAN and I could understand 25% of the words he was saying, even though i don't speak Arabic. Words like siyaasi and basaas, very traditional Somali words. What Do y'all think?
  11. STHLM_Lady Abaayo macaanto waad mahadsantahay I'm glad someone appreciates what I have to bring to this nomad communal family. Do you admire all my posts or some specific ones? :cool:
  12. Start voting y'all..this is about the center of our countries troubles..political leadership.
  13. Please pick the most likely candidate who has a vision of peace, prosperity, and developement for our impoverished Somalia.
  14. SPEAK 4 U'RSELF SWEETIE. :mad: :rolleyes:
  15. Choose the best candidate who has a vission for our beloved Somalia.
  16. Farah I don't understand why u respect Winston Churchill. Don't you know he was a leading Zionist, who is one of the top reasons Isreal became a yahuud country, instead of a Palestinian Muslim one? 1 love y'all.
  17. What is up with all these uptight people? We got a sister here who wouldn't accept our possible (to appease some of y'all) Arab origins. We got a brother here who wouldn't accept the facts, because its not written by a Somali anthropologist (if there is such a person). I don't hate Africans. I'm geographically African, aight. I don't hate Arabs. I'm culturally Arab. Accept the facts. I have found something interesting. I'm starting to believe that the Somali people are not even one ethnic group. I think we're different peoples from different origins that just speak the same language and centuries of intermarriages come to look like each other. I was reading about a tribe called Jeberti in Eritrea, and I saw in their website that the Darood Ismaciil Jeberti, the Jabarti of Eritrea, the Mimi Yemenite Jeberti, and other Jeberti tribes in north Africa, are the decendent of Ismaciil Jeberti, an Arab patriarch. This is kind of interesting, because it might shed some light on some origins. :confused: You want to see the info, go to this website put somali in the search place, click it again and you will see. http://www.jeberti.com/
  18. I encourage all you Somali nomads to check this out!!!!!!! It tells to an extensive level our origins...... http://www.civicwebs.com/cwvlib/africa/somalia/1995/reunification/appendix_4.htm
  19. Khadar I'm curious though. Not about your saying we should support Isreal or the U.S, but your saying that Isreal was the first to vote for our independence. Do you not know that as of 1950, Somalia was a UN Trusteeship and that we were schedule for our independence 10 years before 1960. When Italy lost its territories after WWII, all its colonies {Eritrea, Somalia, and Libya} were handed over to the UN. Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia, Libya was given independence, because it was ready for it, and the Somalis opted for a trusteeship to prepare them for independence.
  20. Geedid and Soul_Lady no one is becoming a traitor to Soomaalinimo, but we're just discussing our origins. "Wasn't it Siad Barre who begged and sobbed to Arabs to have the Somalis join the Arab league in 1969??" No, Somalia became a member of the Arab League in 1974, and it was a joint commission from Oman and Saudi Arabia who proposed Somalia's entry into the Arab League in 1972. The Arab League summit of 1973 unanimously excepted that proposal on the grounds that the Somalis are decendents of Samaal and Saab, two brother said to have been members of the prophet's tribe the Quraysh. All fact.
  21. Peace to all y'all,but look. There are three kinds of Somaali. Central, Coastel and Standard. The reer xamar speak central Somali. The Braawaani, Bajuun, and others speak coastel Somali. And the "tribe/clan" Somalis speak Standard. aight? Y'all don't believe me? You're on the net, do a bit of researching. Peace, Asalamu Calaykum, Ramadaan Wanaagsan.
  22. I hate Isreal with all my heart. Even more now. Do you the two Jewish nacalats look all happy as their friend takes a picture of them standing over a child they just killed? Now I know why Hamas and the others bomb themselves. With these *****s.
  23. Sad but tru. Aint that sad?
