Ms.DD...Saying they are hot is actually patronizing. Allamgan..I think we are exaggerating bit here. Let's put this in historical perspectives. While there is no denying prejudice exists among all Somali tribes of the horn (this goes every way), it is not unthinkable to see relationships among all tribes. True, you marry within your tribe essentially that's cuz the chances are you live within your tribe's traditional territory but the nomadic nature or even the politics of the Somali has allowed us to integrate. The origins of the May May itself is testament to that-as I'm sure you know more than me, the Siyeed and Sagaal is not shared ancestry but cultural construct compromised of the original local inhabitants and tribes from as far as the most northern part of Somalia and way out into the Somaligalbeed. Integration is even obvious in the Maxaatiri as many sub-tribe are named after maternal tribe-you hear bah this or that, and some of the famous habro are named after their maternal tribe's name. And I don't use my family as benchmark but I can't think of any family who traces their ancestry to one region or tribe. The only reason I'm reer Hebel is cuz we are patriarchal society. Even the very mythical beginning of certain tribes is intertwined with others-men far from land marrying locals (though I don't think such men ever existed-more economic and political alliance than actual shared ancestry). But anyway as for the "derided" tribes, it seems consistent treatment that they receives from all Somalis, from Hargeysa, Galkacayo to the most southern end of the country. It is like conspiracy!!

This author used to write gibberish stories, I gotta admit he's improved over the years and as for the content of the article, much like the Hargeysa regime, the author regurgitated the same old talking points, not exactly honest and critical review of the past year. The current reality is unfortunately for him not in his favor or for that matter the regime in Hargeysa. There's luck of creativity on his part or on the part of those anointed to sell the secessionist agenda to have us and the world believe otherwise. The only honest portrayal here is the admission of the failure by Hargeysa's foriegn reps in advancing the secessionist movement but there's one thing worthy of real praise and that's the peaceful end to the election dispute-one perhaps could call this a milestone given the nature of Somalia's tribal politics, corrupt "politicians" and willingly deceived uneducated masses.

Services for Minneapolis shooting victims: Agony beyond words Bundled in parkas, scarves and wool stocking caps to stave off a biting January chill, hundreds of East African immigrants gathered in a snowy Burnsville cemetery Friday to remember three of their own who were shot to death in a south Minneapolis market two nights before. With police still searching for their killers, cousins Abdifatah and Mohamed Warfa were laid to rest side by side along with Anwar Mohammed in a frozen patch of earth overlooking the scenic Minnesota River Valley. The men were shot to death about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Seward Market and Halal Meats, on the corner of E. Franklin and 25th Avenues. Police weren't certain what prompted the crime but were searching for at least two suspects, both believed to be Somali. Hiiraan

Where in Somalia is Garissa?

LoooooL@Sheh...then add little spicy that rumor, makes up for good story coming from you Bilaajo, only the best neighborhood in Xamar Cadeey

^I'm half Qaldistaan from my mom side, Somali would do but I heard Sheh is already smitten with another reer Bilaajo kid-courtesy of Ibti. Ibti-do as I say, not as I do miyaa.

^Even if they want to do something,they don't have resources. Droughts is being reported in Caluula and other places as well.

^So how about it, I know good fella from Kismayo and he's not my cousin

^That people from Dhahar have deep predujice against yes and all Waqooyi and Galkacayo need to be "reformed"

S*S-As long as you admit Qardho get nothing on Taleex. Ibti has point.There's girl from Dhahar who married askari from the south, she was lonest person in the town

^ Duke...My "dwelling" is city by the sea. It beats your little dusty town even after 20 destruction Ibti-Come on, don't be like Duke..Admit there's nothing like Xamar Cadeey. Why are we even talking who marry what. I don't know marriage, but hablaha of any clan don't discriminate dating whoever or so I have observed in the States. And may I politely, point out reer Burco n Gaalkayo girls are freaks, lovely though.

Thi kid has flair for dramatic ruptures-all of Somalia is suffering. Hopefully things will turn around and better days will come.

^Just illuminating what I observe-nothing personal

S*S-God no, imagine the offspring out of such union.

^Two little dusty towns whose people could use therapy.

Duke-He only repeated what we know already. Ibti n Duke maxaad isku heysitiin.

S*S...Geeze, nobody asked for history lesson, just what's your opinion on the matter?

^I love this sort of emails on Mondays and Fridays. Juxa....I feel bad for who ever was organizing it.

Subax Wanaagsan, I only had three hours of sleep, my mind ain't working now.
