It is a sad and unfortunate one of our own - Cumar Jamaal - being used by the far right's propaganda against our own sister. Not first time being a foreign mouthpiece and against fellow Soomaalis. I knew this guy was opportunist at large ever since he was a staunch Xabashi defender back in mid 2005-2007. __________________ Omar Jamal, key source of Project Veritas election fraud video, backtracks on cash-for-ballots allegation Earlier this week, a right-wing media outfit called Project Veritas released a two-part video sting that, without clear evidence, alleged to discover voting fraud in Minneapolis’ Somali community, including payments for ballots. On Wednesday, however, Omar Jamal, a man who Project Veritas said was the main source for its investigation, gave a starkly different account of his participation in the Project Veritas segments. His new claims seemed to contradict key facts and scenes described in the original tape—what Project Veritas on Twitter describes as “the biggest systemic voter fraud smoking gun in American history.” In a 25-minute video on Minnesota-based Somali American TV—a program that provides news and information about Somalis and broadcasts online via social media channels—Omar Jamal speaks in Somali about the election fraud story. Omar Jamal specifically alleges that he thinks a clip that purports to show a “ballot harvester” paying a voter $200 in exchange for a vote was instead a demonstration of how that process allegedly works. That is, not an example of “systemic voter fraud” seen in real time. Project Veritas leader James O’Keefe introduces the political video as “an explosive piece of tape [that] shows a man buying a registration form for an absentee ballot for a voter, giving him ‘pocket money’ of $200 and expecting to collect his ballot when the voter receives it.” In the Somali American TV interview, the show’s host, Ali Harare, asks Omar Jamal whether he met anyone who received cash in exchange for a vote. He replies no. Project Veritas did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the Omar Jamal interview. Omar Jamal declined an interview request from Sahan Journal. Omar Jamal’s new statements muddled what was already a confusing story. In some sense, that confusion seemed to match the methods of Project Veritas, which media researchers at Harvard University have labeled a “right-wing disinformation outfit.” Project Veritas and its leader, James O’Keefe, have gained a measure of fame in right-wing media circles for their sting operations, entrapment tactics, and deceptively edited videos. The group’s current focus is to undermine the credibility of mail-in voting, also a major goal for President Donald J. Trump, who is trailing in election polls. The operation’s purpose, according to a source close with Project Veritas who spoke to The New Republic, is “literally to get Trump reelected.” Much of the footage in the two videos released this week comes from hidden cameras or social media accounts. While it’s difficult to follow the plot line, the sting depicts a variety of voting practices, which may or may not be illegal. Anonymous sources accuse a collection of separate Somali Americans of paying cash for votes and also organizing “ballot harvesting.” This is a mail-in ballot practice, often legal, in which a third party collects election ballots from voters and submits them to election judges. The first tape purports to show a man collecting absentee ballots for the August primary election. In Minnesota, it’s legal to turn in up to three ballots for other voters—although Minnesota courts eliminated that limit for a five-week period this summer. The second tape purports to show an exchange of cash for a voter registration form. However, the video footage doesn’t clearly depict any exchange of money. Omar Jamal now says he never saw cash paid for ballots The key source in the Somali community—who speaks with Project Veritas voluntarily and on the record—is Omar Jamal. In the videos, he alleges that prominent politicians are engaged in a cash-for-ballots scheme. A community activist, Omar Jamal has a history of making provocative and unsubstantiated allegations in the media, dating back more than a decade. In 2009, he made appearances on national television to share unsubstantiated opinions that al-Qaeda cells were operating in the Twin Cities. He’s also participated in a panel organized by Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher about a controversial training program on stopping terrorism. At the time, the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations denounced the panel. And it expressed doubts about Omar Jamal, pointing to allegations that he lied to immigration officials in the early 2000s. In the Somali American TV interview, Omar Jamal says he decided to work with Project Veritas after the group approached him with alleged evidence of voter fraud. He says the group was specifically targeting Representative Ilhan Omar. He also states that Project Veritas sent some of its operatives to polling centers during Minnesota’s August primary election. In the interview, Omar Jamal says he sometimes was obliged to go with the group when they were secretly filming their interviews. He maintains that at other times he wasn’t aware that the group was taping him. At one point, host Ali Harare asks Omar Jamal specifically about the part of the video where two men are talking about how to fill out the voter registration form and appearing to joke about when they will close a “deal.” The host asks Omar Jamal if the Project Veritas clip showed people being told to vote for a certain candidate in exchange for money, or whether he met anyone who offered cash for a ballot. Omar Jamal responds to Ali Harare: “No, I haven’t met them. I think that incident was one that was depicting how [cash-for-ballot] works.” President Trump has so far tweeted about or retweeted the Project Veritas video ten times, starting Sunday night. His first tweetstorm started shortly after the New York Times published a bombshell report showing that Trump has paid almost no taxes over the last ten years. He also cited the video in his Duluth campaign appearance Wednesday night. Though Omar Jamal’s new comments seem to contradict what Project Veritas claims, he is raising funds to continue collaborating with them through the November election. Since the Project Veritas videos came out, Omar Jamal has set up a GoFundMe fundraise page. He’s seeking $500,000 to “further expose potentially more election fraud come November,” fight potential legal challenges, and establish financial stability for his family. On social media, Project Veritas has been asking its supporters to donate to Omar Jamal’s fundraiser. GoFundMe said it’s investigating the authenticity of the page. “I can confirm that our Trust & Safety team is investigating this fundraiser and has reached out to the organizer for more information,” a GoFundMe spokesperson told the Daily Dot, a news source that covers internet culture. Three days after launching the campaign, Omar Jamal had raised more than $30,000. Xigasho

I don't think he was talking about this. I know men like him, hoteellada Islii ayaa ku arki jiray, xataa dad decades isqabo kala celinaaye.

Nothing is guaranteed, widaay. Remember that infamous shock face of Gabre on Febraayo 8th, 2017? He was very confident and was expecting his stooge Xasan Sheekh to win. Xildhibaanada Soomaaliya doolarka wey qaataan but kuu codeeyaan is different, especially in second rounds.

War la hubo ma'aha, but here it is anyway: Wararkii u dambeeyey askar Soomaali & Liibiyaan ah oo ku dagaalamay wadanka Turkiga Ugu yaraan illaa ’25’ askari oo isugu jira Soomaali iyo Liibiyaan ayaa ku dhintay dagaal gacan hadal ah oo labada dhinac ku dhexmary xero lagu tababarayey oo ku taalla Turkiga, sida ay warisay warbaahinta gudaha ee dalkaasi. Wararka ayaa sheegaya in askarkaasi ay ku wada jireen hal xero oo ku taalla magaalada Isparta oo dhacda galbeedka Turkiga, waxaana ay isku adeegsadeen intii uu dagaalku socday Mindiyo iyo waxyaabo kale, sida ay ku warrameyso warbaahinta gudaha. Dagaalka ayaa yimid, kadib markii askari ka tirsan ciidamada Liibiya uu midkood Toorey ku dhaawacay askari Soomaaliyeed, taas oo keentay inay ka dhiidhiyeen ciidanka kale ee Soomaalida ee tababarka kula jiray, waxaana sidaas ku billowday dagaalka labada dhinac. Sidoo kale waxaa jira dhaawacyo ka dhashay dagaalkasi, iyadoona askarta qaarkood la dhigay goobaha caafimaadka si looga daweeyo. Weli war rasmi ah kama soo bixin dowladda Turkiga oo ku aadan shaqaaqadaasi dhex martay ciidamada ay u tababareyso dalalka Soomaaliya iyo Liibiya. Dhanka kale ma jiro weli wax hadal ah oo iyana ka soo yeeray dhinaca dowladaha Soomaaliya iyo Liibiya ee la xiiriira isku dhacdadaasi.

What is boqortooyada Buurjaale 'country?' A Fictional Country Is Reigniting Real Territorial Fears The Kingdom of the Yellow Mountain is just the latest in a long string of claimants to ungoverned territory between Egypt and Sudan. There’s a brand-new Arab country in town. Well, not exactly in town. It does not have any towns quite yet, or a real territory, for that matter. It does however have a (seemingly unknown) king, a prime minister, a full set of honorific orders, a handful of social media accounts, and even a “Vision 2030,” to rival that other kingdom, Saudi Arabia. Say hello to the Kingdom of the Yellow Mountain, or Al-Jabal al-Asfar. Announced just this month, it is already igniting passions and fueling running commentary, and not just for the oddity of the story—a new country purporting to set up shop on unclaimed land between Egypt and Sudan is certainly more than enough to get the attention of social media users—but also because it seems to be striking a very sensitive nerve. The supposed kingdom has declared its primary raison d’être to be alleviating the suffering of refugees the world over. It offers citizenship to stateless people worldwide, a worthy cause, but one that has kicked up controversy. Some tweets have inquired—mockingly or seriously—how to join the new country. Others have angrily suggested that the territory is part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s supposed “Deal of the Century” between the Israelis and Palestinians and aims to absorb Palestinians away from their homeland. Still others believe that it is a way to “congregate the Arab Sunnis who have lost their homes in Syria and Iraq, to the benefit of the Shiite majority” or that it will be the culmination of a “Sunni-Shiite war in the Gulf, with Sunni refugees escaping to the kingdom” in a global doomsday scenario. Theories run as far as the imagination will go. Continue to read

Google translates: Statement | The Kingdom's delegation, headed by the Prime Minister-designate, His Excellency Mr. Ishaq Abu Al-Khair, is meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the sisterly Republic of Somaliland, to discuss ways of joint cooperation between the two countries and discuss the most prominent regional issues.

Koley lacag badan ayaa ku bixi doonto xulashadaan/doorashadaan, unlike any before it. Tuugadii Imaaraadka will spend heavily to bribe the selected MPs; Kiikuuyada iyagana sidaasoo kale, but they are bankcrupt. Dowladda Qadar will try as well. Turkiga and Sacuudiga might try too. Jabuuti will as usual select their eight Reer Seylac xildhibaanno. I don't understand how they have eight xikdhibaanno since shirkii Carte ee 2000 while many other groups, clans that outnumber them so many times receive less xildhibaanno each time. Midowga Yurub iyo Mareykanka might pretend not to interfere, but behind the scenes they will be heavily involved. One thing for sure: Madaxweynaha, guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka and ra'iisul wasaaraha will have and carry baasabooro shisheeye.

Better than and has more chance of probability than Muuse Muqayil and co.'s unrealized and impossible riyo of 30 years and counting.

Mustaf had a town hall-style Q/A meeting:

Another hanjabaad after a long session marqaamid from Feysal Dhurwaa. Faysal Cali Waraabe oo hanjabaad yaab leh oo QM la xiriirta u jeediyey Soomaaliya Guddoomiyaha xisbiga mucaaridka ah ee Ucid, Eng. Faysal Cali Waraabe ayaa si adag uga jawaabay hadal dhawaan kasoo yeeray madaxweynaha dowladda federaalka ah ee Soomaaliya, Maxamed C/llaahi Farmaajo, kaasi oo la xiriiray ictiraaf raadinta Somaliland. Madaxweyne Farmaajo ayaa dhawaan dood uu ka qeyb-galay, kaga jawaabay su’aalo laga weydiiyey Somaliland, isagoona sheegay in Somaliland oo muddo dheer raadineysay Aqoonsi, aysan heli doonin, maadama ay kamid tahay dhulweynaha Soomaaliya. Faysal Cali Waraabe ayaa sheegay in Somaliland aysan ictiraaf uga baahneyn maamulka taagta daran ee Xamar, sida uu hadalka u dhigay. Wuxuuna ku tilmaamay hadalka Farmaajo, mid aan loo meel dayin oo macno buuran aan sameynayn oo nasiib darro ah, maadama uu sifo aan sax aheyn uu ku fuulay xilka u sarreeya dalka. “Yarka Farmaajo ee sida qaladka ah ku yimid Muqdisho ayaa yidhi Somaliland la ictiraafi maayo isagoo ku xumaynaya, waa Nasiib-darro Waayo? Somaliland Ictiraaf kama baryayso Farmaajo,” ayuu yiri. Wuxuuna intaas kusii daray “Markii dagaalku socday adeerkii (Siyaad Barre) ayaa odhan jiray Midnimo midnimo, waanu ka xoog badnaa, haddana waynagaa ka qaadnay dalkeenii, Somaliland Gacanta ayaanu ku dhignay, Dhiig iyo Dhidid ayaanu u hurnay Gacanta ayaanu ku haynaa, adeerkaa wuxuu waxba nagaga qaadi waayay diyaarado, Calooshood u shaqaystayaal uu keensaday, Bambooyin buu nala dhacay, laakiin Banaan cad baanu marinay, Adiguna kalmad aad ka soo tidhaahdo Xamar oo aad qoxooti ku tahay oo aad berri ka tagaysid waxba ka soo qaadi mayno.” Faysal ayaa waxa kale oo ku hanjabay in kursiga Soomaaliya ee Qaramada Midoobey inay meesha ka saari doonaan oo ay kala wareegi doonaan, wallow uusan faah-faahin badan ka bixin. (Shiinaha muu ismoodaa sida ay Taiwan ku sameeyeen?) Wuxuuna sheegay inay Somaliland dadaal badan ku bixineyso sidii ay ula wareegi laheyd Kursigaasi, maadama ay tahay dal madax-banaan, sida uu hadalka u dhigay. “Kursiga aad ku fadhidaan khalad weeye, waayo? waynu wada dalbanay (Kursiga Qaramada Midoobay), laba dal baa dalbaday, dalna wuu jiraa midna ma jiro, dalkii aan jirin baa la siiyey kursigii, laakiin waanu ka daba tagaynaa,” ayuu yiri. Wuxuuna intaas kusii daray “Sidii Taiwan looga saaray Qaramada Midoobay, waxaanu ballan ku qaadnay inaanu Qaramada Midoobay idiinka saarno oo aydaan fadhiisan. Waxba Af nagaga qaadi maysid, waxba nagaga qaadi maysid Facebook iyo Ciyaal lacag la siiyo.”

Trump crowd chants 'lock her up' about Omar as president warns of refugees in Minnesota President Trump's supporters on Wednesday broke into a "lock her up" chant about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as the president warned of the dangers of allowing refugees to resettle in Minnesota. Trump took aim at Omar during a rally in Duluth. The president brought up the first-term congresswoman and Somali refugee during a broader riff complaining about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's pledge to significantly increase refugee admissions from numbers Trump has cut it to during his first term. "Another massive issue for Minnesota is the election of Joe Biden’s plan to inundate your state with a historic flood of refugees," Trump said. "Congratulations, Minnesota. Congratulations. No." "What is going on with Omar?" he continued, citing unproven claims tying Omar to a ballot harvesting scheme. "I’ve been reading these reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Let’s get with it. Let’s get with it." The rally crowd then broke into a chant of "lock her up," which originated during Trump's run against Hillary Clinton in 2016. It marked the latest escalation of attacks on Omar, however. The president has lobbed racist attacks at the congresswoman dating back to last year, when a rally crowd chanted "send her back" as Trump looked on. The president also spliced together footage of Omar with footage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Last week, the president complained that Omar shouldn't be critical of the United States, asking "how is your country doing?" Omar, who is a U.S. citizen, arrived in the United States as a child after her family fled war-torn Somalia. Minnesota has among the highest population of refugees per capita, but Trump has drastically cut how many refugees can enter the country annually. During Wednesday's rally, he painted the prospect of those fleeing war-torn countries as a danger to Minnesotans way of life. The president claimed Biden would propose a "700 percent increase in refugees coming from the most dangerous places in the world, including Yemen, Syria, and your favorite country, Somalia." "Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp … overwhelming public resources, overcrowding schools and inundating your hospitals," he added. Xigasho

How Miss Muslimah USA 2020 winner Zehra Abukar hopes to empower her Muslim 'sisters': 'If I can do it, you can do it' The festive beats of Don Omar’s hit Latin American track Danza Kuduro fades, and the DJ gets a drum roll going as guests eagerly wait to hear the evening’s big announcement. “It is my honour to announce the next queen of the Miss Muslimah pageant USA. The winner of the fourth Miss Muslimah USA, is … Zehra Abukar!” A hijab-wearing Somali refugee, Abukar, 23, lived in Turkey for seven years before moving to the US in 2014. Last Thursday, she represented her state of Maine in the fourth annual Miss Muslimah USA pageant, which is the brainchild of modest clothing designer Maghrib Shahid, a black Muslim from Ohio. Celebrating beauty and modesty Far from your typical beauty contest, Miss Muslimah USA celebrates women of the Islamic faith sans the skin-­baring propensity typical of pageantry culture. This year, the pageant welcomed 15 contestants, between the ages of 17 and 30, and culminated in a competition for the crown at a banquet-style dinner where each contestant walked down a red carpet in an abaya, a burkini and a special occasion dress, in addition to a talent show. The latter included recitations from the Quran, spoken-word poetry and, in Abukar’s case, a traditional Somali dance. Modest fashion has been gaining momentum globally, with hijab-wearing Muslim models such as Halima Aden, Ikram Abdi Omar and Mariah Idrissi starring as the diverse faces of the movement. However, some conservative critics are against the idea of Muslim women appearing on public platforms such as runways, magazines and social media, holding patriarchal beliefs that they should stay out of the spotlight. Initiatives such as Miss Muslimah USA, on the other hand, encourage Muslim women in the US to flaunt their faith with pride, and promote the idea that modesty and modernity are by no means mutually exclusive. A fashionable frame of mind “When it comes to Muslim women, a lot of us have this idea of oversized clothes and covering from head to toe. I love to dress up and look good. I want people to identify me as a Muslim, so I love wearing clothes that represent my people in the best way possible,” Abukar tells The National. An aspiring fashion designer, Abukar sews most of her clothes herself, and her favourite silhouette to experiment with is that of the abaya. “When you hear the word abaya, the first thing that comes to your mind is a black garment. I love black, it’s my favourite colour. But when it comes to abayas, I love wearing bright colours [instead of] the typical black ones,” she says. Accordingly, for the abaya segment of Miss Muslimah USA, Abukar made herself a salmon pink kimono-style abaya with a metallic gold weave, large pockets and a gold rope belt. For the swimwear segment, she wore a grey burkini decorated with a stripe of teal, from online fast-­fashion retailer SheIn. For her final outfit change, Abukar wore a sparkling navy blue gown. “It was sleeveless when I bought it. I fixed it and added the sleeves myself,” she says. Abukar was bestowed with a majestic bouquet of red roses upon being crowned at the end of the evening. With the flowers juxtaposed against her navy gown, she was a vision in red, white and blue, coincidentally and somewhat ironically the colours of the American flag. Taking place in a country that has had its share of racist and Islamophobic incidents, the Miss Muslimah USA pageant can be seen as a symbol of diversity, inclusivity, feminism and religious tolerance. It’s also an event for America’s multicultural Muslim community to come together as one and celebrate their women. “I felt like a winner just by coming here,” says Abukar. “I live in a city where I don’t experience all this, I don’t see a lot of sisters, and that was overwhelming, that totality and that sisterhood was beyond beautiful.” Community calling Even as events across the globe are getting cancelled or digitalised due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Miss Muslimah USA went on as planned in downtown Detroit in the state of Michigan, where Muslims make up almost 3 per cent of the population. “I have a mission, to empower and uplift Muslim women while promoting modesty and inner beauty,” says Shahid, the pageant’s founder. “If we give up and stop, I know many others will give up. We can’t take any days off because it is imperative to keep spreading our message. The Miss Muslimah USA pageant inspires women to raise their heads and push through, knowing that they have a platform to change misconceptions for a better future for our youth.” Continue to read
