Why would I feel depressed? Weird question. Those days, in late '90s and very early '00s, online used to be a very mature place, some of us even used our real names while posting posts online.

Waala joojiye this route la yiri temporary ee maxaa ka jiro? Kuwa maamulo garoonka Muqdisho demanded an exorbitant landing fees, perhaps around $20,000 per flight. What a farce and shame. I knew corrupt Soomaalida would shame us soon, but this is beyond the pale.

Waaaaw. The founders and original people of that site are in this thread. Until we immigrated en masse to SOL in 2001, more than ten years ago.

Diyaaradda maxee wadaana. Calool kuusanaa bahasha. Jarmalka iyo Soomaaliya xiriir weyn ayaa ka dhaxeyn jiray heer ee xataa gaartay Soomaalidii hore inay aaminaan qofkii xanuunsan rabo daawo ugu fiican waa in uu Jarmalka iska xaadiriyaa. They still have this perception. No wonder those commercials on telefashinka Yunifersal mention dhaqaatiirta Soomaalida inay 'Jarmalka' ka imaadeen or they are based in there.

By the way, why is this topic in the 'Jokes' section. Who is moving the topics to this section. Darn it.

Waxaan waa waxaa had iyo jeer u sheegi jiray. Erey 'kh' ka bilowdo Afsoomaaliga kuma jiro. Erey xataa 'kh' dhexda xaraf ahaan kaga jiro kuma jiro Afsoomaaliga. Afsoomaaliga isir ahaan uma laha ereyga 'kh.' Ereyada dhan 'kh' wada ah waa ereyo wada Carabi ah. Quuro looma qori karo 'khuuro.' Saa shaqsi ahaantaada ugu dhawaaqeysid ma badalaayo ereyga higgaadiisa. Qalqal waa sidaas oo kale, 'khalkhal' ma'aha. Again dhawaaqo shaqsiyaadkaaga ereyga ma badalaayo higgaadiiisa. Waxa kale jirto Afsoomaaliga markii la qoraaye kuwii qoray wey ka doodeen 'kh' iyo 'q.' Badanaa 'kh' oo ereyo Afcarabi ah waxaa loo daaye magacyada iyo meelaha, like nouns. Sida Makhtal, Mukhtaar oo kale loo daaye marka la qoraayo. Ereyada Carabi 'kh' ah oo laakiin nouns ahayn 'q' loo qoraa. Kuwa Afsoomaaliga ahna waa wada 'q' for that doesn't change. Soomaali badan ku wareersan waxaan, xataa anagoo xaadir ah Afsoomaaligii badalaan rabo. Haddii saan lagu socdona beri kuwa ku doodo xarafka 'p' in uu Afsoomaaliga ku jiro soo bixi doono. Same with kuwa ku doodi doono beri xarafka 'v' in Afsoomaaliga ku jiro. Waxee tusaale u soo qaadan doonaan sida hadda 'khuuro' oo aan jirin loo soo qaatay. Waxee dhihi doonaan erey 'pun' waaye ee ma'aha bun. 'Piimees' waayee ma'aha biimees. Waxee dhihi doonaan 'vajac' waaye ee ma'aha fajac. Waxee dhihi doonaan 'varuur' waaye ee ma'aha faruur. Afsoomaaliga hab iyo isirba uma laha xarfahaas, oo kala ah mar kale aan ku celiyee: V, P iyo KH. Alfabeetada waa lagu daray xarafka 'kh' maxaa yeelay ereyada badan ee Carabiga ah Afsoomaaligeena ku jirto ugu wacan. Kuwa 'v' iyo 'p' ahna waa laga tagay, oo ereyada yar yar ee shisheeye laga soo deensado ereyadaas ku jiraan si automatic ah waxaa lagu badalaa f iyo b respectively. Kuwa Carabiga ahna 'kh' ku jiro automatically becomes 'q' if it is not a noun. Dad badan ma'oga tan. Waala wada wareersanyahay.

According to a top government official, who spoke to Minivan News on condition of total anonymity, the government had devoted “immeasurable amount of time and effort” over the past three years to safely repatriate several Somali nationals who have been discovered in Maldivian waters in dinghies lost at sea. Many were found in frail health conditions due to dehydration and malnourishment, and had to undergo long treatments before being transferred to Dhoonidhoo Detention Center, where they were provided temporary refuge until negotiations on repatriation were finalised. “However, after all their identities were verified, passports and a chartered flight was arranged for their safe transportation, they refused to go back to Somalia,” said the source, who has worked closely with the case. “The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)’s delegation arrived in Maldives to confirm their preference because no refugee can be repatriated without consent under the international conventions,” he said. “So the delegation asked them one question – Are you willing to go? All of them said ‘no!’” he recalled. He observed that the Maldives cannot resort to the option of forced repatriation as Somalia is recognised as a unsafe state. Maldives has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol citing “financial and technical capacity constraints” but the convention prohibits all states, regardless of whether they have acceded it, from returning a “refugee to a territory where his or her life or freedom is threatened”. “So the project is now a big failure,” he concluded, adding that the Maldives can face “increasing pressures from the international community if it continue with the forced repatriation.” Minivan News could not get a comment from the foreign ministry at the time of press on how the state intends to move forward in solving the repatriation block. Authorities have earlier echoed concerns over the increased financial burden to the state in providing shelter to the Somalis, who are said to be now in good health and actively involved in prison-based agricultural projects. A Maldivian expert on combating human trafficking meanwhile noted in an interview to Minivan News that “if repatriation does not work out, the only legal solution would be for Maldives to sign the international conventions on refugees and Rights of Migrant Workers Families and accept the Somalis as refugees, and provide necessary protection granted under these conventions.” “The Maldives will be pressured to sign the conventions. But, the question is are we ready to face that? We are already in a crisis with the current 100,000 expatriate population in the country which accounts to one third of the Malidives population. If these conventions are passed, it means, the expat population will be doubled or tripled,” he warned. “Are Maldivians willing to become a minority in their own country?” he asked. Xigasho
