Wasiirka Wasaaradda Caafimaadka Federaalka Dr. Fawsiya Abiikar Nuur ayaa maanta ka warbixisay xaaladaha caabuqa COVID19 ee guud ahaan dalka.

Waraa haye, adiga iyo Abtigiis waa kala firirteen aan maqlay ee maxaa ka jiro?

I see your Afsoomaali is challenged since you cannot differentiate between the real comments under that video and machine translated ones. Marka hore Afsoomaali soo baro. And this answer below too will help you your lack of understanding viewership vis-a-vis dislike ratio.

War waaku fashilantee iskaga tag meeshaan. Buying comments writen in Afsoomaali waliba with real existing Soomaali people with Soomaali user names and words ayuu la soo shirtagay.

Tigrey cannot do anything in Xabashiland marka waxba ha walwalin.

The video has more disliked than viewers because people who clicked it did not watch, just to dislike it and logged out. If you know anything about Youtube, you would know that. Also dislike numbers are live while viewership numbers are not sometimes. The comments - which is mainly pro-dowladda dhexe - themselves prove it is real people who disliked as well. Paid singers Wasaqda Cusub waaku fashilmeen. Anyway, at least it made YOU to come out of your lurking on SOL. That itself says something.

Reported Covid-19 cases is getting bad in Xabashiland. More positive cases than Soomaaliya now. They are reporting something closer to the real numbers now.

Battling Somalia's epidemic, a grieving British doctor finds peace British doctor Jihan Mohamud travelled to Somalia for the first time last year to bury her father in the land of his birth. Finding solace from her grief, she stayed on, and she is now on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19 in the city he loved. "During the times of health crisis, there are only two things people look up to in the hope of life: God and doctors," said the 25-year-old from Coulsdon, south of London. "It's a blessing to be able to help someone in pain." She spends her 16-hour work days analysing data in a government call center in Mogadishu, a lifeline for people seeking advice and treatment for coronavirus in a country whose healthcare system has been ravaged by violence and poverty. "If it were not for this call center... people would go to every hospital and spread the virus," she said. The center gets between 6,000-7,000 calls per day, she said, data the health ministry uses to track COVID-19 outbreaks, allocate scarce resources and respond to emergencies. Somalia has documented 2,416 confirmed coronavirus cases and 85 deaths. Fighting between government forces and Islamist al Shabaab insurgents means testing has been sporadic at best, suggesting the true figures are far higher. Mohamud is aware of the risks. Last month, masked gunmen killed seven healthcare workers in a town near the capital. In December, she was working at a private Mogadishu clinic when a truck bomb killed more than 90 people and wounded scores more, and she spent her holidays treating victims with horrific burns and other injuries, many around her own age. After a meeting with a government advisor, she switched to the call center and a job she loves, not least for the chance it offers to inspire young local women who also work there. "I'm a deputy director," she told Reuters, laughing. "Make sure you put that in. More women should be deputy directors in Somalia." But most precious to her is the feeling that she belongs in her father's homeland after the decades he spent abroad. Despite the violence and the pandemic, she has found her refuge. "I brought him home to bury him and I didn’t want to leave him behind in a country that I’d never been to," she said. "Now I know ...the places you can go when you want to be alone." Xigasho

Other social media folks are commenting on it.

The video below achieved notoriety in very short period of time. It became the most disliked Soomaali video ever on Youtube. Also it was the quickest disliked video. In mere hours, it has 65,000 disliked. It was on its way to 100,000 disliked when they disabled the dislike button. What a shame for Wasaqda Cusub. I am sure they were paid, probably Kiikuuyo agents. Now I firmly believe the rumours in Islii that Western government paid them in between 2006-2011.

Ethiopian parliament allows PM Abiy to stay in office beyond term The move comes after elections scheduled for August were postponed in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Ethiopia's parliament has approved allowing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to stay in office beyond his mandate after elections planned for August were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The vote on Wednesday - 114 in favour, four against and one abstention - came two days after a leading opposition politician resigned as speaker in an apparent protest against the decision to delay the election. "The House of Federation has approved a decision to extend the term of all assemblies until international health institutions have deemed the threat from coronavirus to be over," the Ethiopian News Agency reported on Wednesday, referring to the upper house of parliament. Lawmakers did not specify when the new elections would happen, however, their vote was an endorsement of recommendations by the Council of Constitutional Inquiry, an advisory body that had held public meetings to decide a way forward after the delay. The body recommended for the "elections to be held nine to 12 months after the coronavirus is deemed not to be a public health concern". Ethiopia's election board announced in March that it would be impossible to organise the vote on time because of the pandemic, in which 2,506 infections have been confirmed in the country with 35 deaths. The circumstances meant that the election could not happen before legislators' terms end in October. The Ethiopian constitution does not clearly address the path forward in the unusual situation. 'Endangers peace and stability' Some opposition leaders have called for a caretaker or transitional government to guide the country to elections, a suggestion Abiy dismissed as unworkable during a question-and-answer session on Monday with legislators. The move by the upper house also drew a rebuke from opposition leaders who have accused Abiy of using the pandemic to artificially extend his time in office, and analysts warned of possible protests and boycotts. Other opposition politicians have demanded a more prominent role in resolving the impasse, arguing that consulting parliament is insufficient because most lawmakers support the governing party. In anticipation of the extension, oppositions had been speaking out it in recent weeks. On Monday, House of Federation speaker Keria Ibrahim, a top official of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), resigned from her position, saying she was "not willing to work with a group that violates the constitution and exercises dictatorship". TPLF, a member of the ruling coalition, opposed the decision taken in March to delay the elections due to the pandemic. TPLF has threatened to hold its own elections in the Tigray region, home to one of Ethiopia's most influential ethnic groups. Abiy took power in Africa's second-most populous country in 2018 and has since rolled out a series of reforms allowing greater freedoms in what had long been one of the continent's most repressive states. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. But the changes have made it possible for long-held grievances against decades of harsh rule to resurface, and emboldened regional power-brokers such as the TPLF to seek more power for their ethnic groups. On Wednesday night, two major opposition parties with power bases in Abiy's home Oromia region issued a joint statement rejecting Wednesday's vote as "an illegal and illegitimate act". The parties, the Oromo Federalist Congress and the Oromo Liberation Front, also warned that it "endangers the peace and stability of the country". "We would like to express our concern that large-scale mass uprisings which could transform into violence may arise, and this will not only take us back to square one, it will also be difficult to contain for a government already dealing with multiple socioeconomic and public health challenges," the parties said.

It is not only wrong, it is criminal, illegal and cross violation of basic human right. Taas qiro marka hore.

Sisi shamefully started using the Sunni scholars to dis Turkiga and Erdogan. Read on: Egypt's Islamic body reverses Ottomans 'occupied' Istanbul remark Tensions between Egypt and Turkey are showing no sign of abating as Cairo's religious authority, Dar al-Ifta, referred to the Ottoman seizure of the city of Constantinople in 1453 as an "occupation". The statement was issued on Sunday by Dar al-Ifta on its Facebook page in an attack on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who it accused of using religion to further his "colonial ambitions" abroad. "The Hagia Sophia was built as a church during the Byzantine period in AD537, and it remained for 916 years until the Ottomans occupied Istanbul [Constantinople] in 1453, turning the building into a mosque," said the Egyptian authority responsible for issuing religious edicts. After the comments caused an uproar on social media, Dar al-Ifta issued a correction the following day. "We have repeatedly confirmed with documents and evidence that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to use fatwas as a weapon to install tyranny at home in the name of religion, and to justify his ambitions abroad in the name of an alleged caliphate," it said. "As for the conquest of Constantinople, it is a great Islamic conquest that was preached by The Prophet, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, and it was carried out by the great Ottoman Sufi Sultan Mohammed al-Fateh," it continued, referring to Sultan Mehmet II. "But Erdogan is not and has no connection to Mohammed al-Fateh." The head of Turkey's religious authority, Ali Erbas, called Dar al-Ifta's statement "unfortunate and ugly". Last year, the Turkish president pledged to revert the Hagia Sophia museum back into a mosque. It was not the first time Egypt's religious authority accused Erdogan of using religion to impose Turkish hegemony on Arab countries that were previously colonised by the Ottoman empire. "The Turkish president and his followers are not immune from using religious discourse in general, and fatwas in particular, as a cover for their military operations," it said in February. Relations between Turkey and Egypt have been virtually non-existent since the Egyptian military, then led by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, overthrew democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi - a close ally of Erdogan - in 2013. Ankara has not dispatched an ambassador to Cairo since then. At the time, Erdogan said he would "never talk to someone like" el-Sisi and called for the release of Muslim Brotherhood prisoners in Egypt. "There is an authoritarian system, even totalitarian," he said, referring to Egypt's government under el-Sisi. The two countries have also been at odds over maritime jurisdiction and offshore resources in the eastern Mediterranean, and support opposing sides in Libya's conflict. Aljasiira
