This kulan partially helped askartii inay ka yara hakato Islii in the past two days, dadkee iska wada qabqabanaayeena yaraadaan. Si kartinimo u hadleen xildhibaanada kala ah Aaden Barre Ducaale iyo Safiya Cabdinuur. Granted, they should have done and held this meeting looooooong ago. Better late than never, as they say.

Waligeyba calaamada jaalaha uma dhawaan, haddaan socdana darbiga ku ag socdaa, haddee dad taaganyhiin xataa dadka agmaraa as close as possible.

Islii Soomaali kama dhamaaneyso; those who think inay Soomaali ka wada guuri doonto oo ganacsigooda maguuraanka ah (sida guryaha, hoteelada dhisan iyo wixii la mid ah) wada fufujinsan doono been ayee isku sheegayaan. Yes, Islii waa laga tagoyaa. Yes, waa laga qaxoyaa maadaama Soomaalidii noqdeen laba 'victim' ah: Kan la qaxinooyo iyo kan booliiska iyo militariga kaleba qandaraas ku qaateen inay qabqabtaan. Marka dadka wey baxoyaan, qaarkoodna baxeen but I don't think xataa inay gaareyso %15 dadka baxay so far. Dadka badanaa baxooyana waa dadkii soo galay circa 2007 oo Xabashadii kasoo cararay. Within Islii ayaa la iskugu kala guuroyaa because the historical boundaries of Soomaalida Islii degnaan jirtay ayee dadka soo wada dagoyaan oo waxee kasoo cararooyaan guryihii kale ay degnaayeen ku yaalay in the peripheries of historical Islii. Historically Soomaalida waxee degnaan jireen from 6th Street to 12th St. Laakiin maadaama aad iyo aad la iskugu batay dadkii ilaa Segshan Wan (Section 1) ayee gaareen oo dhan ah, dhanka kalena ilaa Segshan Tarii (Secion 3). Maadaama dadka qaarkiis baxay guryihii ku yaalay from 6th St to 12th St ayee u soo guuroyaan, iyagoo kasoo guuraayo xaafadihii awalba amaankooda xumaa, looguna sii daray raaf ba'an. Xaafadaas oo kala ah Jaamka, Ushirika, Kambaniyaasha, Juuja, Juwakaali, Foorka, Sadexda, Segshan Wanka, Segshan Tariiga. Xaafadaas dadka degan qaraxyada ka dhaco waxaaba ugu sii darnaa raafkii ba'an lagu haaye oo guryahooda iyo meelahooda ganacsiba la iska galaaye. Xaafadaha maanta haawanaayana waa kuwaas oo dadkii degnaa noqday dad ka baxay. Laakiin intee aadeen? Afar jiho ayee kale aadeen dadka baxooyo, afartaas jiho oo kala ah: Xamar, Dhadhaab/Gaarisa/Dhoobleey/Afmadoow (ilaa iyo meeshee u socdeen lug ku tagaan), Kambaala iyo Bambaasa. Kuwa Xamar iyo kuwa dhanka Dhadhaab/Gaarisa/... qabtay ayaa badnaa. Diyaarihii wada overbooked yihiin oo sidii bas camal qofkii ku hormaro ticket counterka at the airport raacaaye, kii shalay goostay iyo tii bil kahor goosatay isku wada mid laga dhigay, Soomaalidii ka yaabiyeyna dadkii garoonka Joomo Kenyaata ka shaqeynaaye oo meeshii wada buuq iyo isqabqabsi wada noqotay maadaama kuwa tikidyada jaro maxaa kaa galay u jaraayaan, triple booking in a single flight. So people are getting to the airport at 12 am or 1 am to get a flight that leaves at 6 am. Intaas yaa lagaaga hormarin waaye. Labada koox kale soo hartay oo Kambaala iyo Bambaasa aadaayo waa dad inay soo noqdaan rabo markii laga baxo marxaladahaan taagan, siiba dadka doorashada soo socoto ayee ka cabsi qabaan. Hadda guryihii iyo waxyaabihii kale ayaaba raqiisoobooyo. Islii aad iyo aad loo deganaa oo la isdulsaarnaa, ijaarka guryaha aad iyo aad u sareeyeen. Marka haddaaba leer la heloyaa, inkastoo hoteeladii dadka dibadaha ka imaan jiray ku tiirsanaa iyo maqaayadihii fiidka iyo habeenada camirnaan jiray dhaqaalo daro ku dhaxoyso. Eebba hanoo wada sahlo Soomaalideena meel walba aan joogno.

Geelle, noo sheeg wax ka daran waxa muuqaalkaan ka dhacaayo Soomaaliya ka dhacay while Soomaalida are still watching publically, qof ka celiyana jirin. Waa dhaqan xun oo cusub waxaan oo Kenyaatiga laga keenay. Tuugnimada uu ku sheegay kan waxaas sameynaayo ka daran. Yaa ogaado wax ka fuleysan ma jiro kaas istustus ka ahayd. I am glad finally dad damiir leh inay ka celiyeen xoolahaas aanan asluub b iyo t ka garaneynin.

Soomaalidii cawaan ayee noqotay sidee cawaan ugu dhex jireen. Waxaan camal ayee isku sameynayaan. Xataa shufto iyo dilaa ma istaahisho in saan loogu dhaqmo. Islaanimada wey dhaaftay waxaan, dhaqankii suubanaa Soomaalida lahaydna ha sheegin.They are alleging those two young men are 'Superpower' members and thieves. Eebboow. Arxandaranaa waxaan.

Update to the story: Unfortunately, wiilkii aan habeenkaas arkaaye oo bastiisa ahaa isla habeenkii uu geeriyooday, asaga iyo laba kale iyagana sidiisa camal loo jirdilay habeenkaas. Sadex dhalinyaro la dilay habeenkaas. Waqtigii dambena booliis lagu soo wada daadiye Islii, dadkii jaadka iska cunaaye oo maqaayadaha horfadhiye iska aruursadeen as usual. Baashi, Islii lagama maarmo waa birqabato. Xataa dadka xaafadahaas degan maalin walba Islii taaganyihiin.

This happened back in Agoosto Sababta loogu tuuray meesha has to do with her political u-turn and subsequent support to Xabashi regime and its minions in Soomaali Galbeed. Knowing inta dad Xabash soo jirdishay oo Nayroobi ku sugan kana soo cararay Soomaali Galbeed, one can try to understand what happened to her in that night.

Che, I don't think he would make it, though Eebbe ayaa naf haayee. He was completely out, bleeding profusely. Isbitaalkii la geeye oo Soomaali ahaa waxba kama qaban karin oo oto-oto kale laga sii saaray oo isbitaaladii waa weynaa midkood loo gudbiye.

Isma lahayn Islii ayaa ku arki doontaa Soomaali badan Soomaali kale baangad ku goy goynaayo si xaasidnimo ah isla Soomaalidii kalena meesha wada buuxdo fiirsaneyso.

I have been back to Islii since mid Oktoobar. Caawa taa arkay wey ii dhineyd, even rabshadihii a few weeks ago Islii ka dhacay wey iiga darnayd taa caawa goobjoog u ahaa. I was buying casho from a restaurant that is not that far off from where we live, which itself is the safest area of Islii and its centre. I was in the maqaayad, awaiting my take-away order when dad yaacaayo, oo ordaayo meesha orod ku maray. Hore iyo gadaal loo kala ordaaye. Kuwa qaarkoodna dukaamadii iyo maqaayadihii isku wada xireen. It was evening. What was it about? Waa markee dhaceyso naxdintii iigu darnayd: Wiil dhalinyaro ah Soomaaliyeed lagu baangadeeye a place not far off where we were. A whole Soomaali gang, so-called Superpower, ayaa saas yeelaaye. Wiilka asagoo lasii wado horteena la marsiiye by two brave Soomaali men who dared to pick-up his body. Jirkiisa oo wada go' go'san, especially his left wrist oo kaliya iska heysatay by the marqaar. Baangado lagu gooy gooye maskiinka. The two brave Soomaali men ayaa dadka meesha ka muuqday ku wada lahaa, "War maxaa noogu fiirsaneynin nala qaada, Soomaali soo ma tihiin..." We were all shaken, until others joined them to take him to the hospital, which itself was few steps away. Inaanan waligey isdhihi jirin Soomaali ayaa saan, this barbaric violence, dhul kale ku sameyneyso, iskuna sameyneyso. Even Kenyaatiga meesha wada joogay were dumbfounded and shaken. I used to hear this nascent gang and what sickening acts they were capable of, but I hardly believed they were capable of this. Eebba u maqan Soomaali. Meel aan isku dhaafeyno maleh.

Kenyaatiga kaliya yaala eedeen. Kuwa Soomaalida ka buuxo dhib la wado, siiba kuwa iskugu magacdaray Superpower oo dadkii ka adeegan la' shalay iyo maanta. Iyagii iyo Kenyaatigii tuugada ishelay. Waxa dhiba ka socdana Islii dhan ma'aha waa kaliya Segshan 1, oo Kenyaati ku badan iyo Jaamka oo awalba ahayd xaafad iska xun kuwaas so-called Superpower ah dadka ku dhibi jiray in the past year. Isliida kale Soomaalida joogaan wax saas u weyn kama socdo. Here, I took this picture at the 8th Street in front of Day to Day Centre this afternoon in Islii. Yes, dukaamada wey wada xiranyihiin iyo dhawaaqa rasaasta mar mar ayaa maqleysaa, but xaafadaha Soomaalida ku badantahay masoo haweysan wali, from 6th St to 12th St. Kenyaatiga iyagaa naftooda u baqaayo xaafadahaan markii la joogo. Balaayo kale Gaarisa ka socotaa maanta oo suuqii qeyb ka mid ah booliiska gubay la leeyahay. Eebba ha sahlo amuuraha -- aamiin.

This guy is definitely and terribly exaggerating. How many of you maqlay this 'sharuur' in this context? The only websites (in)famous with these practices are the notorious and unreliable Waagacusub and Dayniile websites, with only a few fringe readers nowadays. Also, yes, some satellite TV owners/hosts receive this sharuur to praise some certain politicians. But it isn't that widespread. ______________________ Somali journalists are dying from corruption as much as conflict It's been a terrible year for Somali journalists. Fifteen of them have been murdered in 2012 so far – mostly victims of targeted killings. That makes Somalia one of the deadliest places to be a journalist. In all of these cases, the perpetrators have never been caught. As a Somali journalist, the issue is close to my heart and I would like to shed light on it. In my view, journalists in Somalia fall victim to three circumstances. First, the country has been in a state of war for more than two decades and some are unfortunately caught in the crossfire: they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Second, those journalists working for government-run or pro-government media are seen as "soldiers" by opposition groups such as al-Shabaab, the Islamist group linked to al-Qaida. Although al-Shabaab don't always claim responsibility for such attacks, it's not difficult to know which killings they carry out. Third, the majority of journalists killed in Somalia are murdered as the result of a grudge. While the murder of a journalist is always a heinous crime, corruption and clan loyalty can take Somali journalists on the wrong path. I'm not in any way suggesting they deserved to be killed, but abuse within the profession has led to the deaths of many. Bad practice in journalism is not exclusive to Somalia. I live in Britain and the political and journalistic world is still licking its wounds from a huge scandal on phone hacking that has led to a prolonged official inquiry. The difference in Somalia is that bad practice can lead to a journalist's death. Corruption is part and parcel of the Somali media. Journalists don't normally ask themselves if a story is important or interesting. It is about how much money they can get from their sources to publish it. It's known locally as sharuur , and it's a form of bribery. The sad reality is that such behaviour can be witnessed on a regular basis. Something I often say to fellow Somali journalists is that we were meant to expose corruption; instead, we are the bad guys. It's common to see Somali journalists getting paid at press conferences. Once the talk is finished, they queue up to collect their cash. And you can even hear the press conference organisers instructing them how to present the story. I am starting to be able to spot the sharuur influence on a news item just by noticing the words that have been used. I can even recognise if the reporter was happy with the amount of money that she or he was paid. For those working with well-established Somali media outlets, the sharuur is higher. It can be up to £1,000 for a news piece. But there's also a large group of journalists known as beesha caalamka, meaning "international community" – those who call themselves journalists just because they own a small video camera, an audio recorder or even a notebook. Just by looking like journalists they can get their sharuur for attending a press conference, though it's much less than others are paid. The phenomenon is getting worse. In the past, media owners would trust their journalists to find stories that could provide a good sharuur and then give them a share of the fee. Now they are appointing sharuur managers to be in complete control of the financial flow. In the rest of the world media outlets tend to finance themselves through sales of newspapers and/or advertisements. In Somalia it's through corruption. If a politician wants to be interviewed, he or she will just negotiate the sharuur and journalists will publish what the sources demand. Sometimes political rivals take revenge through the media: when you become the mouthpiece for someone's enemy, you become a target. And in Somalia it's easier to kill someone than to complain. On one trip to Mogadishu, I remember visiting the port to film general views of it. As soon as I arrived, a policeman at the port's authority came to me and asked aggressively: "Are you one of their friends?" I had no idea what he meant. Once I told him who I was and what I was doing, he explained to me that a group of so-called journalists had stormed into his office claiming they were having a bad day and wanted him to pay them sharuur – threatening that if he failed to pay they would write a negative article about him. Later, I was told that when there's no sharuur in town, some of the inexperienced journalists go around intimidating local officials and businessmen to extort money. Locals in Mogadishu describe two types of militia: those with guns and those with cameras. Corrupt journalists expose themselves to serious potential consequences. Clan loyalty, which is incredibly strong among Somalis, is another huge problem for journalism. Supporting a warlord/politician who belongs to your clan is prevalent – and when you side with your fellow clansmen, you eliminate impartiality. Rival clans will look at you as a clan member, not as a journalist, and thus view you as a target. As a Somali journalist, I'm ashamed to be associated with the profession, especially when operating in the country. Somali journalists fail to recognise their basic responsibilities to the public. As a result of sharuur, important stories are ignored and Somalis are deprived from their right to impartial information. The profession needs to be cleaned up. The media owners should do it to save the lives of their employees. I feel as if we are watching a group of people committing suicide one by one. If a Somali journalist is killed today we just say, "Oh, sad, another one killed", then another one … I strongly believe that if more Somali journalists respected their profession there would be fewer targeted killings. We would also do a better job in serving our people. And that would be a win-win situation for all of us. Guardian
