Khadiijo Cali has the best chance; last time she came in a distant, but quite well, second. The incumbent, Rob Ford, is not running marka fursad weyn heysataa. Xaafadee rabto laga doorto waa xaafadda Soomaalida, if Soomaalida ay mideysan yihiin lee. I hope Reer Etobicoke North (waa degmadee Dhigsan [Dixon] ka tirsantahay) midoobaan for once.

Reer Suudaan yaraantey ilaa hadda ogaa waxee u qabteen Soomaalida maxaa yeelay walaalahey aadi jiray, waxbarashonimo u aadi jiray. Suudaan iyo Bakistaan waxbarasho u aadi jireen, sawiradee kusoo galeen lee arki jiray. Mid kamid ah walaalahey Urdu ayeeba ku hadli jirtay oo Karaaji (Karachi) kasoo baratay. Soomaalida iyo Suudaan dowladihii ka jiray aad iskugu dhawaayeen dhaqan bandhigeed, waxbarasho iyo waxaas dhan wey isdhaafan jireen. Masarna saas camal ahayd, siiba waaguu Jamaal C/naasir noolaa. Xamar goormaa kugu dambeysay adi? Saa ugu soo fiigtay maku noqon filaa? Ee markaas anaa kaa geesisan oo mar indhaha qabsaday aan dalaq iri in 2003.

Ninac, Florence, Talyaaniga ee joogtaa xaajiyada. 1-Sinnaantaan la magac ahay, Sanku-neefle ma oggoli, Inuu iga sarrayn karo Iyadoo hees ma arkin laakiin iyadoo gabay camal loo qaadaayo arkay, intana ka dhageyso ama iyadoo nooc kale ah. Iyadoo wada qorana inta dhowr jeer lagu soo dhajiye laakiin mid waa tan.

Reer Qaahira ahayd miyaa? Ma ogeynee. Soomaaliya wixii Soomaalida ama Soomaaliya mahadiyo ayee u mahadnaqi jirtay. Saas ugu wacan filaa Qaahira jid Soomaaliya loogu magacdaray inay ku taalo maadaama iskool Jamaal Cabdinaasir Xamar ku yaalee asagana.

Soomaalida jasiirad ma jeclo, ma'ogi waxa ugu wacan. Geel meel uu iska soc socdo uu iska daaqo uu rabaa, jasiirado yar yar kuma filno filaa. Geeljirtana waa saas camal. No wonder Soomaali maryooleey degan maleh all those paradise islands off the coast of Jubbada Hoose.

Bas kamid ah gaadiidka Roome. Obviously the bus' route is 'Somalia' since there is a 'Somalia' street (Via Somalia) in Roome. Xamar had Via Rome, marka waala isku mahadcelinoyaa. Xamar, too, had Via Liberia, and in turn, Monrovia, the Liberian capital, has . Go Soomaaliya, indeed.

. Xeebta Liido iyo Axmed Naaji motoring a 'yacht.'

Cajalkaan hees ma'aha laakiin afar la isku daray wuu kaa qiimo badanyahay. Haddee Soomaali wax dheegeyso kaliya lee. Haddee Soomaali dhagaha wax ku maqli lahaayeen eedadaas qiireysan iyo eedooyin badan hadalkooda waa hore la dhageysan lahaa.

Meesha waa Islii, iridaas birta laga sameeye ka garanaa iyo darbigaas qaabkiisa. I might even know the room, who knows. It kinda looks very familiar. Just kaftaming.

Aawey Nuunka. Waxaan asagaa kala yaqaanee hana noo kala bandhigee.

Qolobaa calankeed. Magool, Xasan Aadan Samatar, Axmed Rabsho, C/jibaar Alkhaliiji iyo kuwa kale magacooda ii gooye wada qaadaayo.

Fanaanada Saado Cali oo booqatay dukaamo lagu dilay Soomaali dalka Koonfur Afrika Fanaanada Qaranka Soomaaliyeed Saado Cali Warsame ayaa maanta booqatay tuulooyin ay degan yihiin ganacsato Soomaaliyeed dalka K/Afrika. Intii ay booqashada ku jirtay fanaanada ayaa waxay gaartay tuulooyin ay ka mid yihiin Khayalisha oo horey loogu laayay Soomaali farabadan iyo tuulada Langa oo ku taalla duleedka magaalada Cape Town. Sidoo kale Saado waxey la kulantay ganacsato Soomaaliyeed oo ku sugan tuulooyinka ay booqatay, waxayna Saxaafada u sheegtay inay walalaheeda Soomaaliyeed ay jeceshahay ayna la qeybsaneyso dhibaatooyinka. Waxay ku guubaabisay inay isku duubnaadaan, sameystaana guddiyo dowladda K/Afrika kala hadla arimaha Soomaalida si wax loogu qabto dhibaatooyinka u badan dilalka lagu hayo Soomaalida ganacsiga ku leh tuulooyinka. Dalka K/Afrika ayaa horey u soo gaarey wafuud iyo madax ka socota Dowladda Soomaaliya balse majiraan Saado ka hor kuwa booqday tuulooyinka iyo meelaha khatarta ah oo horey loogu dilay muwaadiniin Soomaaliyeed .

Originally posted by The Zack: Been badanaa LOOL. Xamar, as destroyed as it is, is way more beautiful than any other city/town in Somalia. LoL, weird. I just wrote something similar to this in a minute ago on another thread. Weird walaahi, very coincidence. Nin 1990 dhashay amuu yahay. Qofkaas haddii la geeyo the slums of Baraasiil xataa jano la noqon lahayd.

Xamar la isku heystaa, taas isweydiin malahee. Xamar waa xuduntii Soomaaliya, waliba Soomaaliweyn. Unlike tuulooyinka iyo buulooyinka kale, Xamar lagama maarmo kii qabsadana Soomaaliya wada qabsaday u tahay. Sarar burburay iyo waxaas waa laga baxaa. Xamar oo labaatan sano la burburinaaye wali iyadaa u bilicsan, degmo ama magaalo Soomaaliyeed kale u muuqaal eg ma jirto. Run maala isku sheegaa mise been.

Maskiin. Axsaanimadii dharbaaxo maa laguugu daray? Speaking of wax dafid, waxaaba kale soo xasuustay walaashey oo Ceelgaab meesha basaska laga raaco ookiyaal ee ku xaragooneysay loogu dafay iyadoo baska waliba saaran. See ku dhacday dheh. Baska dhanka dariishada ayee fadhisay, dariishadana wey furneyd, baskana wali dadka raacaayo uu sugooyaa oo waa taaganyahay. Walaashey oo biideyneyso, ka qasneen qof lee garabkeeda ma taabanaayoo -- jug jug camal -- markee jeesatayna, fiiri istiri si caadi lee ookiyaalka loogu siibtay iyadoo arkeyso. Mid banaanka taagnaa uu ahaa maadaama daaqada furantahay. Wuuna iska sii socday. Xariifnimo taas ka weyn maba arkin. Laakiin Ceelgaab tuugnimada ugu xariifsan waa lagu yaqaanay. Walaashey oo ka sheekeyneyso waxee tiri maxaaba qeyliyaa xariiftinimadiisa ka yaabay. Ookiyaalkaas wey jecleyd maadaama Talyaaniga kasoo gadatay mar dhow. Perhaps Dolce and Gabbana amuu ahaaba. Yaa kuu kasaayo hee xiligaas.

Ismalura, abaayadiis, ma aragtidoo? Ciyoowba Tuujka waa cabsaday oo dib u gurasho uu sameynooyaa iyo raaligalina wuu bixinooyaa. Xaa saas u diiday dheh.

Another Reer Kanada guy ra'iisul wasaarenimo rabo. Kii Reer Ottawa ahaa (Cumar) ayaa wax keeni waaye kan Reer Toronto ahna muxuu keenaa kaas keeni waaye taloow? Mise jagada Reer Kanada ayaa leh la yiri miyaa? Nimankaan magacyada aabiyaashooda (C/rashiid Cali Sharmaarke) iyo Sareeyegaas Jaamac Cali Qoorsheel, Eebba ha u raxmadee labadoodaba) ku qaraabanaayo mee meel iska fadhiistaan.

Ismalura, abaayadiis, hadduu bajaq ku dhaho, balaq ku dheh. Dhib ma jiro mahaan. Suu kuu sheegaayo waaye, labadaan erey waa hore lagu kala baxay meeshaan ee marka haddaa afkiisa ka maqashid 'bajaq,' adigana 'balaq' u diyaari. Hala isjiid jiidee.

I am not giving up hope, see camalkiina. I am the last person to give up Soomaaliya, Soomaalinimo iyo calankeena qurxoon. To the xabaalaha la galaa taas isweydiis malahee. Waxaa ula jeeday, laakiin, kan la magacaabi doono (whoever s/he is) iyo kii tagay wax weyn meesha kama badali karaan. Same with Shariifka, kii ka horeeye iyo kan ka dambeyn doono. Meesha dowlad nidaam ku socoto oo qorsho weyn wadato ayee u baahantahay, not one shaqsi, especially mid qurbo ka yimid oo jago raadis ah, even if that shaqsi is malaa'ig. I believe dowladaan, I believe it to be the last hope laakiin qorsho weyn oo meel aragti fog ku socoto loo soo dhiso u baahantahay, not some random dibadjoog individuals just to fill a quota and who beri arrinta markee kululaato soo cararaayo. Qof reerkiisa la degan oo meesha ka bixin ayaa ka dareen badan kan every other week dibad usoo dhoofaayo, awalna dibad ka yimid, qoyskiisana dibad barwaaqadeeda ku baashaalooyo. Isku dareen ma'aha dadka.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaw, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaw kale. Xamar Caddeey ahaa. Ma aqaani jidka laakiin aaga Shabeelle u maleynaa oo magaalada hoose ahayd. Xamar Caddeey gadaal lee ka bartay, dagaallada ka bacdi. Ka hor dhif dhif lee u dhaafi jiray dhanka Sayidka to Ceelgaab. Hooyo u raaci jiray ka xasuustaa meel Fiya'eejito la dhaho oo baqaaraha ku wada yaaleen oo Ceelgaab/Xamarweyne ka tirsanayd. Ani iyo walaalkeey na wadan jirtay Jimco ka Jimco oo aanan iskoolka jirin, waardiye u ahayn gadaasheed socon jirnay lest kuwa boorsooyinka dafo try boorsadeeda dafaan. They did once, hence na wadato anaga mar mar. We always looked forward to having isbarmuuto or cambo qaboob ah, and every baqaar ee gisho timaha laguu salsalaaxaayo by the owners Hooyo yaqaanaan, how I hated that. "Wuu weynaadee..." they went while patting your head. N.B. - Meeshaa ka keentay kuwa kale maku jireen?

Masaajidka security detection equipment and metal detector ayuuba leeyahay. Bisinka. Masaajidada Muslimeed saan maa u dambeysay?

Qilaafka run ayuuba u egyahay since ciidamada dowladda qabsanooyaan meelo aynan waligood haweysan, waxaana kamid ah Tarbuunka iyo Taleex. Meelahaas ee tagaan waa hore ugu dambeysay. Either Barbaarta kaarto cusub ayee wataan ama qilaaf xoogan ka dhex taagan oo meelahaas saas u baneeyeen. Hadduu warka runyahayna, I very welkam it. I hope Rooboow iyo baandadiisana sii kala jabaan, kaas kalena Godane kuwiisana sii kala furfurtaan. Now I know Maadka Maanuur Maadeey wuxuu shib la yahay labadaan beri. Dadkuu u sacabtumaaye godkooda biyo iskugu shubeen.
