Madaxweynaha shalay ayuu baarlamaanka ka hor hadlay and he specifically denied this, mentioning the mounting pressure (and threats) the Soomaali government had faced on this issue.

Sanadguuro wacan.

<cite> @Safferz said:</cite> Somalis always declare they're the first to do something. I'm sure there are half-Somali Chinese citizens out there, given so many Somalis have gone to China for school, training, etc since the 60s. My sister is named 'Shiino' to this day because she was born when my father was visiting Shiinaha in 1967. Then again I also have a younger brother whose nickname is more known than his real name. His nickname is 'Tiitaa,' named after a Germany World Cup player in 1986 World Cup. The player's name was, I believe, Dieter Hoanness. We pronounced his first name Tiitaa because the British World Cup commentators pronounced Dieter as 'Diita.' The reason for the nickname? My brother, who was a toddler then, had a huge eyebrows for his age, as was the player.

Waxaa soo xasuustay a conversation I had with a Kenyaati taxi driver, whom my family had known since 1993. A few months ago ayuu safaaradda Kanada ii kaxeeye. He mentioned how he had seen Soomaalis and their 'nationalities' they had became. I asked him which was the weirdest dual 'national' Soonaali he had seen. He said he once picked from the airport a Soomaali who had a Shiinees baasaboor. He also spoke a fluent Mandarin, he said. I don't think it is this same person.

Kowda Luulyo waa maalin heybad badan. Xus iyo boggaadin ayee naga istaahishaa mar walba. Jir oo joog Kowda Luulyo.

Sanadguuro wacan idil ahaantiina. Kowda Luulyo libin ha ku waarto. Waa maalin u qalanta in la xuso,had iyo jeer.

Yaabane, Soomaalida shidaal iyo macdanba dhulkeeda iyo baddeedaba waa laga heli karaa. Laakiin xiligaan kuma haboona in lasoo faago, mana jeclaan lahayn. Intee Soomaaliya liidato, oo labadeeda lug ku istaagi karin iyadoo awood leh waligeedba yaanan lasoo saarin macdanta iyo shidaalka dhulkeena iyo baddeena ku hoos duugan. Siiba intee tuugadaan afarjeeblayaasha ah dalka hoggaankooda sheegtaan.

Galbeedi, Eebbe hakuu garabgalo. Soomaalida 'madaxda' sheegato iyo kuwa waliba 'xil' u haayo Soomaaliya oo aan ku arko Afrika, kuwaas quusasho ayaa ka istaageysaa. Laakiin waligeen kama quusan doono Soomaaliya. Iyagana nagama xigaan. Go for it, laakiin marka koowaad soo arag kuwa 'xilka' u haayo Sooamaliya see u dhaqmaan, especially kuwa Nayroobi ku shaah iyo qaxwo cabo. Start with Rayaan restaurant oo bartamaha Nayroobi ku taalo iyo hoteelka Grand Regency (Laico) oo ay seexdaan isla kuwaas. Adigaa arkeysid kuwa xilalka haayo sidee u dhaqmaan.

<cite> @Safferz said:</cite> It's refreshing not to see this thread in the "women" section He actually posted it on the Politics section. I moved it to this section. Now, you are giving me an idea to move the thread again.

Libaax, waa kaa qaaday salaanta. Reerka aad iyo aad u ladanyihiin. SOL's Facebook inta lee ku arki jiray ee maba furin. Shalay lee furay. It is a nice page.

Cajalkaan ayaa Youtube ka fiirsanaaye, about the non-existent maternity paid leave in Mareykanka by that very interesting and funny show, This Week Tonight, hosted by John Oliver. When I scrolled down to the comments section, this is one of the top comments: If the Youtube video doesn't come up automatically, search this on Youtube then: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Paid Family Leave

I can't watch the video, but if it is about what it says on this thread - then waa wax aad iyo aad loogu yax yaxo. Eebbe ha u gargaaro masaakiintaas Soomaaliyeed ee dhiboon. N.B.- Kuma haboona in loogu yeero 'qaxooti' maadaama ay dalkooda dib ugu soo noqdeen.

Ma ogtahay that SOL has a robust Facebook page? With more than 45,000 likes. I didn't realize this. War Libaax wuu naga qarsaday mooradiisa. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/Somaliaonline

Yaa dilay xildhibaanad iyo wasiirad Qamar Aaden Cali? Yaa dilay wasiir Ibraahin Xasan Caddoow? Yaa dilay xildhibaan iyo wasiir Saleebaan Colaad Rooble? Yaa dilay wasiir Axmed Cabdullaahi Waayeel? Yaa dilay danjire C/kariin Faarax Laqanyo? Yaa dilay xildhibaan iyo wasiir Cumar Xaashi? Haa, marxuumiintaas, kuwa kale ka horeeyey iyo kuwa ka dambeeye dhan dilalkooda waxaa ka dambeeye madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh. Ii wad sheekada, haddana ii wad.

Kan adigoo yar ku galay kaa dhex baxay noo sheeg suu ahaa iyo sidaa ahayd waagaas.

Too magaalada Bern ee dalka Iswiserlaan ka imaatay oo aan kula kulmay Islii back in 2009 ayaa afkaan si fiican u taqaanay. Ar muxuu jir isku dhacaayo ku yaalay qoftaas.

Kiikuuyahaan masoo dhumay? The ugly slums of Kibera and Mathare is on that way, kijana.

Khadaafi, wiilkaa adeerka u ahayd ee Mahad ayaa Nayroobi mar walba guriga noogu imaan jiray bilooyinkii lasoo dhaafay. Sagaashameyadii ayaa Nayroobi daris wanaag ku ahayn saas isku baranay, asaga iyo reerka kaleba. Fiiso walaashaa soo direyso ayaa sugoyaa lahaa, koley waa iska warqabtiin ayaan u maleynaa.

Xamar oo hormartay waa Soomaaliya oo hormartay. Xamar oo bilicsan waa Soomaaliya oo bilicsan. Xamar waa xudduntii iyo madaxii Soomaaliya.

Sawir xusuus ah. Haddee saddexdaan qof Soomaaliya soo mari lahayn taloow Soomaaliya sidee ahaan lahayd? What if, what if what if... Eebbe ha u wada raxmado - aamiin.

<cite> @nuune said:</cite> ^^ How come I didn't see you in Islii, was there for one week earlier this month (passed there from Ethiopia). Islii Mall iyo Diamond aan u dhaxeeyey (laba tillaabo ay isku jiraan ehehe). Will be back there this June coming Inshaa Allah Shan bilood ayaaba joogaa hadda. Bishii Nofeembar imid. Mar dhow waa noqonaa. Andalus (Islii Mall), hoteelka Diamond iyo kan kale u dhaxeeyo ee Bushra (Madiina Mall) waala isla wada leeyahay filaa oo hal shirkad leh. Dadkaas leh maaku jirtaa adigaaba u dhaxeysee meeshaas.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> the chick being interviewed looks like she could be on a Clean Bandit music vid. she speaks with a lisp. looooool. she made some valid points though. Waraa Qowdhan, gabadha waa Reer SOL ee ka xishoow. Tan Hodan Naaleeye la dhahaayo magacyada Soomaaliyeed maxee si carab la'nimo ah ugu dhawaaqdaa. Awal ayee magaceeda Hodan ugu dhawaaqi jirtay 'Hothaan', hadda magaca Caydiid ayee 'E-did' ugu dhawaaqeysaa. Carabgajo waaxid dheh.

Ma xumo. Inaa aado fiicneyd bilooyinkaan u dambeeye. Fursad aan ku aado waa heystay since I am in Islii currently.

Sawirada qeybta cusub ee garoonka Aaden Cadde ee Xamar.

Eebbe ha caafiyo.
