LoooooooooooooL....You are delight LoooooooooooL@Foolxume...kadaa noh How did I miss this pic...kixkixkixkixkixkixkixkxi..LoooooooooooooL. Following this protocol, Meles will meet with A. Yusuf and Sh. Sharif as heads of the TFG but not with Adde Muse or Faroole. Yes, Riyaale and his forty thieves are special People never learn, you seek his respect while he massacres somalis in the Ocaden, not to mention the crimes he committed in Somali proper with the help of his loyal stooges

^Please don't confuse people with unholy regimes! Kadawo...Iyagaa Ilaaheey istusey waxkale ee ujeedaan majiro.

^It's called envy! Somalis would be force to reckon if they only organize themselves, and work on common interests.

Money from Kenyans living abroad and war profiteering in the region has flooded into the Kenyan property market, leading to a doubling of prices for land and houses and steep increases in rents, real estate experts say. They attribute this trend in part to demand by non-Kenyans, most of them from war-torn Somalia. The areas most affected are Nairobi, Mombasa and other major urban centres where the price of land has more than doubled as property is sold long before it is ready for occupation. Hiiraan

^As usual, homeboy makes alot of sense. I'm not very educated enough about the deen to give specific rulings, but would want to hear the opinion of those who oppose woman's participation in social/political/economic life on Khadija, may peace be upon her. The prophet (PBUH) worked for her, was married to her, and sought her counsel on all matters!

^I'm beginning to like more by the day, but it's not for the obvious things some people might assume

Mintid I'm not interested in bickering, so let's end it here. Anything beyond this is fruitless hadee sheekada gaadhe far waaweyn. Go'day

Ethiopian PM in Mogadishu for first time since war I remembered this, imagine the euphoria some would have if Zenawi showed up

^I see you are slowly joining the chorus...welcome abroad. Oodweyne...I admire your persistence, and absolute devotion to your cause, I really do, but you are old enough to remember and wise to know the strategic interest of Ethiopia in Somalia , and its willingness to entertain any Somali "leader" that will do its bidding. To portray Riyaale's meeting with Zenawi as diplomatic triumph for Somaliland is self-deceptive at best or delusional at worst. I'm afraid you are neither. Unlike the kids here on SOL that became indoctrinated with 'Somaliland wey duushay philosophy" or the grown men who chose to wear blinkers, Oodweyne you very well understand Riyaale's official meeting with Zanewi has no implication for Somaliland, and carries no more weigh than that of Faroole's or any other so called Somali 'leader'. Now, since you brought up Garoweonline, of course I know that's Farole's mouthpiece, and I know you know that, and you know I know that, and you very well know I'm not getting one past you. The point of my post were the images of Mr Faroole's with Ethio officials. Now, this forced Mintid to acknowledge Faroole's visit was more than a sitdown with appointed mid-level bureaucrat, but wait, now he wants a pic of Faroole kissing the ring of the godfather himself(Zenawi) (something funnily enough I expected him to say). And if such image were to show up, then next argument would be, geeze the official Ethio media didn't carry the story, and BBC had nothing to translate. Oodweyne..I understand you have be on message, but seriously, from SSDF,SNM (I know they are your heroes, and they were merely using the Derg regime just like Yeey was using Zenawi's army), USC, RRA, Mogadisho's infamous warlords, Puntland, Somaliland to the new outfit battling Al-Shabaab in Galgaduud Ahlu Sunah are/were beholden to Ethiopia one time or another. Here is what Jb quoted to show the stark 'difference' between Faroole and Riyaale visit. Federal police boss, Puntland president discuss human trafficking Ethiopian premier in talks with Somaliland president Now if you wanna sport Jb's usual big grin, and take comfort in that, by all means, but the thing about you is you know better. Anyhow, Soomaalida waxey tiraahdaa gaal waa ladilaa, gartiisana waa la,siiyaa, so to be fair tell me, does Somaliland's relationship with Ethiopia paid any dividends, and how's this relationship any different from that of Puntland, TFG, and any other Somali regions or leader/ relationship with Ethiopia? Please, ha cuskan your usually "something is in the workings argument" Anyway, dadkeeno tusaale maqaantaa, but here are Zenawi and his once most loyal pets

Madaxweynaha DGPL iyo wafti uu hogaaminayo oo maalmahaan ku sugnaa wadanka Ethiopia ayaa maanta magaalada Addis Ababa si gooni gooni ah xafiisyadooda ula kulmay Raísal Wasaaraha Ethiopia Meles Zenawi & Wasirrka arrimaha dibada Ethiopia Atto: Sayoum Mesfin. web page Jb n Mintid...You were saying? N missed nothing Sxb, big dog Riyaale was given state-level welcome and met the Ethio's prime minister, while Faroole was relegated to meeting lower level officials....I guess Mintid has no argument to make now which stinks for those believe Ethiopia prefers one Somali over the other. Ethiopia prefers any Somali who does their bidding in Somalia., so my friends just cuz Riyaale was given the first opportunity to give Zenawi a special lap dance doesn't mean Zenawi gives a hoot about Somaliland and status as an "important" state. So, folks get your head out of your @sses. The Amxaar who levelled Xamar leveled to the ground could give sh*t!!! believe me when I say you are no different than those Somalis the Woyanes massacred in my Xamar Cadeey. You are all the same, and when Zenawi is done with Faroole and Riyaale, he would discard them like condom, just like he did to Yeey n Fanaxley

Jb Cabdiraxman Farole & Sayoum Mesfin Madaxweynaha Puntland & wasiirka ganacsiga Ethiopia oo kulamya

Like two whores fighting over who pleases their pimp better, what pity!

LoooooooooooL@Ms.DD

^I was surrpised at the extent of time and effort the security apparutus spend on the issue, and it is not FBI and local police departments. They are looking at Somali centers. What is more disheartening the characterization of the Somali conflict, and how they wanna potray as part of 'global jihad' without any reference to the miseries that befallen on our people, and the crimes committed against the Ethios, and Bush regime. The investigation continues into why a dozen or so young Somali men disappeared from the Twin Cities and are believed to be fighting in Somalia. MPR's Michael Caputo spent some time with three teenagers -- the kind of kids who attend class regularly, play sports and hold part-time jobs. He asked the teens what they know -- or what they've heard -- about the disappearances of those young men. web page

^AfroGurl waa ladaba gale (something wrong with this phrase )

<a href="http://WASHINGTON - A Somali-American community leader warned a Senate panel yesterday that Boston may be among half a dozen cities where youths are being recruited to travel to Somalia to fight alongside a radical Islamic group with links to Al Qaeda.">web page Just great, now we will Boston PD, and FBI on our behind rest of the article

Lily-Lack of oppurtunities and the failure of ANC to deliver any real changes for the black majority is driving force behind this xenophobic attacks. The expectations of the people were so high, but only few black elites benefitted from the end apartheid, the rest are still poor, and the immigrants represent a new threat to their already meager resources. Adam...Why are you taking their women. I guess Somali men must be a catch there-Zulu and Xhosa falling over Faraxs

This is unfortunate for Somalis in America, and Somalia!. Somali community under suspicion and being monitored by homeland security. The Bush policies to continue in Somalia!

Please do listen-this has consequences for all of us

^I don't think you could compare this to kid taunted by couple of @ssholes. This is far more brutal and consequential.

Duceysane...Please don't spread insidious mischaracterization of black men (and women too)by racist 19th century Europeans anthropologists, now propagated by popular media. Pucca...It seems you like them for aesthetic reasons.
