Lovely.....Congrats walaal....Best of luck! Just one advice...if your husband to be is pashtun....don't let him take back to his country......Pashtun are ultra conservative...lol

Guys....i thought dis article is pretty interesting! Read it ALBERT MORRIS: That cleft-stick call to arms ALBERT MORRIS PEOPLE have often admired my long, loping stride suggestive of Groucho Marx stalking a waitress. Know then that it was created in the bushlands of British Somaliland, a parched and quarrelsome corner of north-east Africa full of volatile, vehement tribes and crazy, recalcitrant camels. In that oven-hot, ant-hill-dotted, thorn-bush-flecked, territory, with Beau Geste to the west, Biggles Flies South to the north, Prester John to the south and Sinbad the Sailor to the east, I pounded an Army .303, quick-striking, air-cooled Imperial typewriter in the service of good King George VI. As an old Somali hand, I sense what is afoot there and expect a Ministry of Defence phone call asking for information and advice to boost Britain’s role in a possible United States action against al-Qaeda’s terrorist network in Somalia, a country that the Arabs claim was made from left-over pieces when Allah created the earth. I can reveal that your average Som-ali is a cracking good chap who may not always play the straight bat, but knows how to hit opponents for six. When I was in Somaliland, his occupations included eliminating rival clansmen, stealing, feuding, praying and engaging in endless litigation over camels and territory. Doubtless, little has changed since then. Described as "the Irishmen of Africa", Somalis are proud, violent, romantic, imaginative and quick-witted - not unlike the natives of Erin, a land of lush fertility and EU-boosted prosperity. A country of bush, rocks too hot to touch and brackish water has created a quick-tempered warrior race, fiercer, it is said, than Afghan tribesmen, with a contempt for pain or death, who can pull the trigger, sometimes before they are insulted. Can you imagine the effect on a well-brought-up lad like myself from Edinburgh, town of the tinkling after-noon-tea cups and peppermint-sucking, Church Sundays, on being socially introduced to spear-and-knife-carrying Somalis with fierce, rolling eyes under mops of dusty, black, crinkly hair, many of whom regarded Britons as top of their good feud guides. One talked and walked carefully. What was then British and former Italian Somaliland was garrisoned by the British Army where personnel, in outposts among desert tribes who often flew into ungovernable rages about very little when matters were sifted, felt themselves slowly slipping their regimental moorings in the Army equivalent of Le Cafard, the Foreign Legion’s desert madness. Peacock-proud Somali males often insisted on being treated like prince-lings and, if you had different views, could, socially, cut you dead in more ways than one. Many, however, had an austere dignity about them, best seen when walking, carrying only a spear while their women, burdened with household loads, struggled behind. The spear and curved dagger have been replaced by the Kalashnikov, the hand-grenade and heavy machine- gun in a ravaged, famine-stricken land - as desolate as Afghanistan - where the government has collapsed and the two chief towns, Mogadishu and Ber-bera, are in ruins after years of civil war and clan feuding. In 1993, a US force, on a UN humanitarian mission, became embroiled in Somalia’s civil war and ended up fighting street battles against a Somali war lord whose forces shot down two American helicopters, kill-ing 18 US Army Rangers. The Ameri-cans then withdrew from Somalia. Despite its resemblance to one of Dante’s more uncongenial circles of Hades, I became fond of that nomads’ land, its wilderness silences broken by the khareef - the hot desert wind - the tinkling of sheep bells, the passage of camel-borne caravans and its coastline flecked with dhows, heraldic in the sun. I also developed an admiration for the endurance qualities of the Twiglets-thin, poor but proud Somalis, who claimed, against all evidence, that their land was a Garden of Eden. The bravest, most merciless but, when they accept you, the friendliest of African peoples, the Somalis are also among the most intelligent. If they could overcome centuries of mayhem and murder, they could transform a dangerous African dustbin into a prosperous, modern state. I wish it well and wish Uncle Sam better co-operation with its people. If he, too, wishes my support, he can send a message in a cleft stick. An old bush strider will be quick to answer.

I don't know if yu have seen dis joke before , but i thought it was funny! Welcoming to America When young Jose, newly arrived in the United States, made his first trip to Yankee Stadium, there were no tickets left for sale. Touched by his disappointment, a friendly ticket salesman found him a perch near the American flag. Later, Jose wrote home enthusiastically about his experience. "And the Americans, they are so friendly!" he concluded. "Before the game started, they all stood up and looked at me and sang, .... 'Jose, can you see?'"

Here is another one folks. A little boy wrote to Santa ... One day, a little boy wrote to Santa Clause, "Please send me a sister." Santa Clause wrote him back, "Ok, send me your mother

Najmo.....thats was funny piece. I think "african identity crisis" thing is over-blown a little....I think young africans today though still have lingering colonial mentality are comfortable with their skin. I personally think a new African identity should be promoted...an identity that emphasizes more on the continent's common heritage rather than on skin color and physical traits. As for who somalis are might be.....Obviously there are africans, anyone saying otherwise is high on something....We are member of larger eastern cushitic people which includes the oromo, afar, sidamo, etc. The only thing we share with arabs is religion and we are also in da same Afro-Asiatic language group. Stoic....Give da sista the benefit of the dought before yu jump your guns!

Hehheeeeeeeeheeeeeee...Scorpion_Sista...Scorpion not marraige material, i beg to differ yaar...lol But i guess, you have point, there is no going to back to the past!....The farahs have to fast forward themselves atleast by few decades...lol

I think iam cross between a Pig and Dog....lol

Thanks princess_sexy for explaining that. G-Money...i wasn't referring to you bro....i was talking about Mr millenium...lol later

STHLM_Lady.....It is IsQarxis day, darman left me with no choice. Scorpion_Sista....I had to tell da truth n only da truth N Ppl , don't listen to darman...He is employed by Fox.....Everybody knows wats Fox's slogan

Ameenah.....Siyyad's boys did nothing when their boss were creating this havoc , we are in right now. Those who turned against him did so coz they felt threatened by him, not coz they want to free all somalis from the tranny of the barre regime.Most of them still have core beliefs of their late master!....These men can't be trusted with anything. Their experience won't be of any use to the somali ppl.

Scorpion_Sista........hehheeeeeeeeheeeeee come on.....yu can't mean that?....lol

Darman....I love yu dat pic.......Do yu know the photographer who took the pic traced the girl after the fall of the Taliban.... He found her married to an Afghani man.....She is cute but i have to marry non-somali, afghanis won't be first my pick...lolHaving lived in Pakistan, i had a lot of Afghani school mates and friends.There are good people. Thats why i suggest OG-Moti maybe should befriend one...lol

Shyhem....nice piece....lol Well, here is my two cents on dis....I think men are finding a little harder to adopt to changes....That has been the case since the start of industrial revolution and women started earning their income. Women are being told to compete with males on every level...This will naturally lead to antoganization and resentment. If couple wants to get married, what they need to do is forget about the larger society and ask themselves, what's that they need from each other and what do they expect from each other. The realisation and hopefully acceptance of each other's needs and expectations can lead to peaceful co-existance!

OG-Moti.....wats dis..one man crusude to save the somali race....lol....don't worry we are not dying out....lol...stop da racism! Runaway.Virgin.....Could see if the afghani guy has a sista or something!.....maybe OG-Moti would change his mind about the whole thing if yu introduce him to some nice looking afghani chick!...lol

Heheheeheeeeeee.....Hibo....No bending rules.

Gediid.....anytime man...iam just giving a folks of dose of reality. Yu Haven't answered my question though?.....lol HornAfrica......it is upto Sland who they wanna chose as their leader....My whole point somali proper needs to fix its own house before moving on to other things regarding the other somalis.

Two old ladies were sitting in garden of a nursing home enjoying a smoke. One had a condom with her, the other wondering wat the condom was for asked her freind about the condom. Her friend replied that she was gonna put her cigarrates in the condom in case it rains.Thinking it was a good idea, she went across the street to pharmacy and asked the pharmicist for a condom. The stunned pharmicist ask if she prefers any size and the old lady replied," Give something that fits a camel".

I won't change a thing!

originally by nazra I recently discovered, that somali ppl are animals well since you are one of us(somalis), you are animal too right? well sis.... if yu wanna engage in useful debate,yu need to change your tune and be civil to others.

Isn't love and lust more or less the same thing! i don't think you could seperate one from da other...lol anyway i think iam gonna second baashi, da guy couldn't handle the fact that the woman was married to another man. He eventually lost it!
