Abwaan.....I am just waiting when the lovelust hits snag.

I don't, it's process dominated by the tribes with the most armed gangs.The Banjun and the Bantu are unarmed. For all we know, they are the majority.

And for the love of God, they couldn't called just Jubba?

It seems we are forming countries within country. Will Banjun and Bantu tribes be represented?

The Jubaland community? Is there such thing. It seems very vague.

Didn't read the thing through lol

This is rich, Carafaat warning about Woyanes and their lackeys.

^Do you employee associations be along religious or ethnic lines? when I was in the financial sector, the big corporations had associations that would push for employee friendly privileges, including prayer rooms. Of course, this was the boom years when the employers had more resources and were flexible. With wadhu, the feet is obvious trouble. What bothered me most, is I used to miss Friday prayers. I find out that there is church that Muslims pray on Fridays and Muslim students at my Alma mater have their congregation. The school has prayer and wadhu corner, thanks to rich Arab alumni.

Luckily, my work does prayer room and universities around us all have prayer rooms, some have wadhu areas.

lol@guys holding hands. I forget people back home do that.

Why would Ethiopia Somalia build any institution, seriously folks?

Dear Alpha, let us know how hell feels like.

Fire that reduced millions to ashes Thursday, November 29, 2012 By Abdikadir Sugow Smoke from Garissa's main market after it was set on fire “We are destitute,” a trader at Garissa Town’s only open-air market says as his toe digs into the debris after the market was razed down recently. The market was burnt after days of military operation to flush out criminals who had killed three soldiers as they were changing a flat tyre on November 19. This operation sparked off riots by locals, who said the community was being unfairly accused of harbouring criminals associated with the Somalia Al Shabaab militia. When the operation ended, two people were dead and several others injured. The market that was gushing with activity was smouldering. The market, Suuq-Muqdi or ‘the unlighted market’, was a source of livelihood for many. Haretho Abdi Bare, who is nursing bullet wounds at the Garissa General Hospital after she was shot on her left thigh, had a large silo of fresh farm produce. Usually she directly bought the produce from local farmers and sold wholesale to other traders. It went up in flames alongside other businesses at the market. Start from zero When her physical pain is over and she is discharged from hospital, Haretho will have to start from zero to rebuild her business. Haretho’s son, Salah Yakub Farah, says his mother lost business worth Sh2.5 million, which included the structure holding her merchandise. She is not the only one counting losses. Staff at the mill say they pleaded with the arsonists, whom they claim were military officers, to spare their business in vain. “They burnt all our products. We will sue the Government for compensation,” says Ali Noor Issack, whose fast food kiosk was was reduced to ashes. Ali, who was operating a fast food kiosk, says he lost capital base of Sh315,000. Ali says he did not salvage anything, as the fire was too fierce to get closer. It is not exactly clear who burnt the market. Some eyewitnesses accuse the military claiming they lobbed fire canisters into the market, which caused the fire at midday while others claim a certain politician set the place ablaze long after the operation was over. Yet, there are also claims of business rivals having lit the market and used the ongoing operation as a cover up. However, the military has denied being behind the arson. Spokesman Col Cyrus Oguna termed the accusation as malicious and lies crafted to taint the credibility of the force. “Allegations suggesting KDF committed atrocities in Garissa are false and must cease,”said Col Oguna. Whoever caused the fire at the market pierced locals’ hearts as the market was the centre of business in the town. People bought their foodstuff there and it was a source of employment for many others. Some traders don’t bank their money. Instead, they keep it at the market. Burnt in safe One trader acted as a ‘banker’ who held money in custody for other traders. Market chairman, Paul Chege says Sh150,000 was burnt in her ‘safe’. Several have reported reported that their national IDs were burnt in the fire, which raged for two days. It destroyed the market structure which is estimated to be worth more than Sh200 million. According to Chege, some 1,800 traders were adversely affected. Most of them ran fresh farm produce, groceries, cereals, clothes, electronics and restaurant businesses. Chege, who has done business at the market for 15 years, says there is no sign that the Government is willing to help these traders rebuild their lives despite PM Raila Odinga visiting the affected last Friday and asking ministry for Special Programmes to compensate the traders. The following day, the minister for Special Programmes Esther Murugi said the Government has no policy to compensate victims of riots and clashes. Garissa mayor, Ismail Mohamed Garat Korio whose elective ward includes the burnt market, said the locals are still waiting for justice.

^True and he doesn't blame them alone. Here's a bit about himself. “I bought into the fashionable philosophy of not interfering; letting the children find themselves. When they were getting into trouble -- at school, or later with their relationships -- I would just bite my lip and tell myself, ‘Don’t butt in, it’s their lives.’ I was trying to express my frustration at these wonderful grown-ups who had yet to make the best of what they had. They have read the criticism, but not seen the enduring love through the lines.... I haven’t done well as a father, have I?”

^I wouldn't expect you to, I was talking in general terms.

^I probably wouldn't have red the poem, so I guess that works for both us. Keep smiling:-)

I don't understand this blaming Somalis for one's personal choice? Marry ajnabi because you want to, not because Somalis are this or that. Narniah.....I am not sure what country you live in, but 50% of all marriages in the States end up in divorce. The number of people living together and married get higher every year. So the chances of anyone having lasting marriage decreases every year. That said, what bad area do you live in every Somali mother or most is/are single?
