    Ali Warsame is by far the coolest guy among the new Turks. He's very articulate and is likeable personality. His down fall will definitely be his past association with the Al-Itixad as some already suspect him of having closer relationship with Islamist in the south.

     

    I agree with Xiin that both Gaas and ina Samatar lack the charisma and the vision needed to stir-head this sailing ship smoothly.

    Waryada, if the whole idea is to educate the population, then kids will need to go proper school. It doesnt matter what script one use to educate. Even if the Arabic script is introduced today, it will have to be structured(grammar, style,etc) to suit the language. And this will bring us back to square one, that proper schooling is needed for one to be literate and educated.

     

    Just ask yourself how many Somali speaking kids (third grader and up) in the West can read and write the Somali script. Naga daaya.

    Somalis in Kenya are no less Kenyans than other tribes of Kenya whom originated from other parts of Africa. Whether they are the Kikuyas from the west and Luo/Jalua from central Sudan. They are entitled to be Kenyans and claim their share of the pie as they have a stake(land and resource) in what's today the modern nation of Kenya.

     

    That said, have the Somalis in Kenya went through a tough time under the repressive dictatorial regimes of the past, the answer is simply yes. So, rather being so emotional about a documentary of incidents that has taken place 30 or so odd years ago, I think we ought to be asking if the Kenya's policy toward NFD has changed or if it is as it were 20 or 30 years ago? Have the lives of ordinary Somalis in the region improved? How do Somali politicians at local level as well as in the central deal with issue relating to their constituency? In my opinion Somalis in Kenya are better off today than they were in those days. They are more educated, more prosperous economically, and held powerful positions in all political spectrum, opposition or otherwise. In addition, the Somalis from Somalia even feel safe in Kenya than in some part of Somalia.

     

    Marka reerka nabada ku jooga yaan gadaal la gelin'e ee aan runta aan isku sheegno oo baroorta beenta iska dayno. Truth is that our dictator killed, maimed, raped, displaced more Somalis in Somalia than the Kenyan ponies could have ever whinnied.

    ^In fact the hardest hit areas are all interior Nugal Valley. The people who this affected most were the nomadic. Also, there have been warnings sent through local FM Radios and mobile text at least two days before the storm hit the coast. But let's be honest here, even if those rural nomads have been forewarned where would have they gone for shelter. Criticize the government for the aftermath response which they so far aren't doing bad given the resources they have, but late warning or evacuation , common now.
