This thing is still going.......?

The Somali-born model, Iman, has added her voice to calls for greater help from the international community for famine relief in the east African country. Iman, a supporter of Save the Children's relief work, said many countries had not given enough to aid organisations. She described the situation in drought-struck Somalia as "heartbreaking" and said it was getting worse. click

looooooooool@Somalina...carabeey xaal qaado.

Just pay a ransom and be on your way.

Yaa isgaare?

^LooooooooooooL....I guess he had fallout with the Amir.

^LooooooooooooooL...You seem to be angry at him, what did he do to you?

Gheelle.T...I know not all Arabs are Hashims but listen and read about D-folks and I-folks, their lineage is traced back to reer Hashim and so do many people in pursuit of honor, respect and authority. p.s. Saamaale never claimed to be Arab descent, of course Arabs came to the south and settled along the coastal line. Jacpher.....They too are fraud.

Hashemi (Arabic: هاشمي‎; also transliterated as Hashimi, Hashmi, or Al Hashim) is a clan of the Quraysh tribe, to which the Prophet Muhammad belonged. The surname "Hashemi", and its variants, signifies Arab ancestry from the Middle East (especially from Iraq). They are also found in Iran and in South Asia due to Arab immigration. Many people claim to be Hashemi by fraudulently using the family name, linages and documents to gain respect and authority. ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_Hashim XX....We will go with ayeeyo and say dad Alle baanu nahey but reer Hashim noh:-)

Khadar....Agah, ma waxaad iloowdey Saint Jabarti. People check references to reer Hashim and the Prophet(PBUH), what are the chances two large Somali tribes are descendents of the Prophet's tribe? I guess the only real and true Somalis are southerners.

looool@Gheelle.T Bal waayahe odagii Abdirahman Jabarti ahaa in xabaashiisa la,raadiyo waaye sidii loo siyaarto;)

They are registered in the U.S. and have presence throughout Somalia. If you need to contact any of their officers, please let me know.

Somalicentric, I would recommend Amoud Foundation.

Somalia's 'children's famine' has been ignored The UN has officially declared that famine exists in Somalia. Photograph: Oli Scarff/Getty Images The problem when a child is dying from starvation is that they can't wait. They can't put their hunger on pause until the glare of the media decides to turn its spotlight on them and help spread the word that children are dying. Instead, they will slowly starve to death. This is exactly what is happening to nearly 2 million children in Somalia right now. Nearly half of these children are already on the critical list, inching further away from life as every hour slips by. By the time you read this, it may already be too late for some. In today's newspapers – from front to back – I was hoping to see the media use their power and influence to tell this story. I hoped to see headlines shouting that millions of women and children in Somalia, and across the entire Horn of Africa, are struggling for survival and need the British public to help. But I didn't. Instead, my eyes were blurred with articles of shaving foam and hacking scandals, as talk about the dire need for nutritional supplies for children who need their lives saved slipped into the footnotes. And now, the situation has reached crisis point. This morning the UN officially declared that famine exists in Somalia and that the lives of nearly half of the Somali population – 3.7 million people – are now in crisis. At Unicef, which is the UN's children's agency, they don't use the word famine lightly. They are guided by strict criteria that means it can only be declared when at least three of eight prerequisites are reached. These are acute malnutrition rates among children must exceed 30%; more than two people per 10,000 die daily; and food access falls far below 2,100 kilocalories of food every day. Guardian

Np-guys, please contribute. The statistics is staggering, every family in the South will lose a relative, the most vulnerable being the children. This is being called children's famine. The graveyard of the Somali children is testament.

Gheelle.T....No one disputes Arabs came to Somalia through trade and proselytism but to claim they father the half of the Somali population is ludicrous, to further claim two men fathered millions of Somalis is even more ridiculous. The Somalis have more common in the Oromo and Afar than they do with your average Bedouin or Arabized Berbers like Algerians or Moroccans. Obviously, an extensive scholarly work is needed to dispel this Arab myth but one can look at the culture and language of any ethnic group in order to ascertain their background. The Somali language and culture is more closely linked to the Oromo than to the Arabs. And about mythical Arab Sheikhs, if you pay attention to the most of the stories, those who tell these stories do not just claim to be Arabs but they try to establish direct relationship with the Prophet and his family, a matter of prestige and honor for many. Some Islamic sects were found by men claiming to be direct descendents of the Prophet (PBUH).

For Solers interested in helping with the droughts in the South, I would recommend you donate funds to Amoud Foundation, reputable organization with good track record and also works with Dr. Hawa Abdi Foundation. The Foundation has the go-ahead from the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department Treasury. The State Department Legal Team will establish guidelines to any organization that wants to help in Somalia so that people are not accused of funding terrorist organization. Wa Salaam

You do the same!!!

OK
