Geelle, Che meesha Saakoow ugu dhagsan soo ma aragtid. I think Saakoow is a Afmaay-speaking town in Jubbada Dhexe, so hadduuba Saakoow maqlay, I am sure in uu yaqaano a bit Afmaay here and there. About Diinsoor being meesha Afmaay ugu asalisan loogu hadlo, hmm. Koley ma'ogi, waa laga yaabaa, laakiin uma maleeyi maadaama soo xigto dhanka Shabeellada Hoose. Maayga Shabeellada Hoose iyo Jubbooyinka loogu hadlo wuuka qafiifsanyahay kan in the interior loogu hadlo. Prince, Afmaay has as many lahjado as Afmaxaatiri, if not more. Nuunka, heestaas inaa Afmaxaatiri u micneysid isku deey. Lan wiin ma booraaw Beengaa ogaadey Ilinteey baroorshee Biyi haan dareertay Kuwaas waa iska sahlanyihiin koley.

Indha qaloociska waaba ku qurxooneyd ileen. Babababa, noo sii wadba. Kanada yaa kuu leh oo kuu degan? Sheeko bar iskeerso waliba. By the way, Kuusha, have you seen or seen Windsor's riverfront, yacni meeshaas sawirka kor ku yaalo?

The writer has a point, and I do have to agree with him on several points. Well put. I have had yet to have seen Obama oo dhahay during his long campaigns, waana kii ugu roonaana kuwaas isa soo wada sharxay: "I am not Muslim, not that there is anything wrong being a Muslim." The second part of the qoute is borrowed from a famous line from Seinfeld show. Colin Powell ayaaba ugu roonaa, oo la yaabay Muslinimada laga cararaayo iyo diinta Islaamka, when he was at the Meet the Press political show, during his endorsement of Obama. He forcefully questioned dadkaas diinteena ka dhigay wax xun laga cararaayo, an untouchable disease camal waxee tahay.

Now, neatly presented. All good in and during summer times. Now, winter time presentation sugeynaa. Meeshaas waa ku socon jiray, back in '90s. It is riverfront. But, alas, Windsor Tourism office always fools both unsuspected visitors and future ones as well when they misrepresent their city. Those lofty buildings are not in Windsor. Heck, it isn't even in Kanada. They are located in Detroit, Michigan, Mareykanka. That river separates the two border cities. Laakiinse those buildings themselves in Detroit ayaa illusion ah markii kor laga arko. At downtown Detroit, it is dreary, drab and abandoned bleak place. All empty buildings save few half-occupied brand new ones, the ones on the top right.

Berlusconi hails Obama as "suntanned" Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy gave an enthusiastic, if ill-considered, welcome Thursday to the presidential election of Barack Obama, citing among his attributes youth, good looks and a "suntan." Speaking at a joint news conference in Moscow with President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia, Berlusconi, the 72-year-old media tycoon, also said that Obama's election to the White House had been "hailed by world public opinion as the arrival of a messiah." "I will try to help relations between Russia and the United States where a new generation has come to power, and I don't see problems for Medvedev to establish good relations with Obama who is also handsome, young and suntanned," he said. Berlusconi, who himself sports a year-round tan, is famed in diplomatic circles for making inappropriate quips. On his first meeting with Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen of Denmark in 2002, Berlusconi complimented him with the words: "Rasmussen is not only a great colleague, he's also the best-looking prime minister in Europe." He added: "He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife." He sparked a minor diplomatic incident in 2005 by suggesting he had wooed President Tarja Halonen of Finland to ensure her backing for Italy to host the European Food Safety Authority. "I had to use all my playboy tactics, even if they have not been used for some time," he said, prompting Helsinki to call in the Italian ambassador to explain the comments Xigasho

I thought dhalintaan magaca Dhalinyarada wato inay kasoo horjeedaan sawirada in laga qaado. What is going on? They even take their own amateur videos. Since when aqbaleen inay sawiro iska qaadaan, iskaba dhaaf muuqaal mid ah. They should be karbaashed as well because of sawirada iska qaadeen, breaking one of their own rules, foolka ha dadaan or not.

Samir iyo iimaan abwaanka reerkiisa, Eebba ha u dambi dhaafo asagana -- aamiin, aamiin.

Boqolsoon, Eebba ha u naxariisto oo janadiisa fardowso haka waraabiyo -- aamiin, aamiin. Qof diinta aad u bartay ayuu ahaa, dadkiisana ka cararin, dhaqankiisana ku faantamo.

Members of Islaax, it seems to me, are the only wadaado who are sufficiently well-educated in world affairs in addition of being a learned people of diinta. Teeda kale kama cararaan dhaqankooda Soomaaliyeed, oo dhaqan Carbeed kama daba ordaan, unlike the rest la yaqaano dhaqamo sisheeye mooday wax weyn (cue: abuuthis and abuuthat). And above all, seeflabood ma'aha, oo wax kuma deg degaan, oo ma dhahaan either my way or seefta ku taqaano. Waxna wey sugaan, oo tanaasul iyo waxaasna wey galaan. Having said that all, dad macquul u egyihiin, oo wey dhaamaan xirta kale iska daba ordeyso. C/qaasin Salaad Xasan in uu Islaax ahaa u maleynaa.

Easy with qabiil names, xariifoow. Geeljire, ma Afgooyaa joogtay in 2002? Baxaarna ma ahaynoo ninka yaxaasyada la shaqeeyo, una adeegaan asaga? Maxee yaxaas gabdho yar yar u direen usoo qabteen. Some people still do not believe that.

Mid walba markee ka dhamaatay, oo jirkeeda isdhiibay ayee ku leedahay fanka waaka fadhiistay oo xaaraan waaye. Sheeko.

Is this another 'wey dhaqaaqday' saga? How long soconee, the other at least 17 years socotaa and continuing. We all want nabad lagu macaansado, especially to dadka ku dhibaateysan ama ku sugan dalkeena; however sometimes we need to be realistic as well. No need to be blind about waxa dhacaayo. Ar I don't want inaa ka jajabiyo dadka ugu jirto marshada, ee sii wata. If nabad dhacdo, it is all great and wonderful; if aynan dhicin, well, waa saa sheegnay oo ogeyn. Either way, we hope the best for dadkeena and dalkeena.

Haye, Kuusha, waa ku salaamay horta. Waran, oo warka keen? Bash bash dheh. Waa iskaga dulqaadaneynaa dadkaas, naceybka dadkaas qaarkood u haayaan Soomaalinimo iyo Soomaaliya Eebba haka caafiyo, wax kale aan dhahno malahee.

Originally posted by Reer Hargeysa.: Absulately not. Ee maxaa u dhigtay mujaahidnimadii title ahaa laakiin? Ninka waxaa isdhahay dhalinta Shabaab wuu ka quustay saas ugu wacan. Koley ani waa iska kaa dhibaaye, oo qaraxyadaas inay iyaga geysteen iyo in kale lama oga, so I don't have to point my finger at no body. Dalkeena qashin walba ka buuxo oo wax walba iska sameynaayo that we don't know who they are or what their political intentions are. Dhaqaatiirtii ayee dilaan, waxgaradkii ayee dilaan, aqoonyahandii ayee dilaan, culuma'udiinkii ayee dilaan, odeyaashii ayee dilaan, dadkii hay'adaha gargaarka u shaqeynaaye ayee dilaan, haweenkii wax bartay ayee dilaan. Dad ma dhaafaan, ama maskiin ha ahaado ama munaafuq. Some shadowy group(s) are/is at large in our dal.

Soomaali Soomaali caawineyso, especially in their country. Yes, we should applaud and commend, but it is nothing new.

So does that include SoomaaliyaOnlayn, yacni Somaliaonline.com? Cadowga koowaad ma'ahee kan tobonaad dheh haddaa rabtid, Feysaloow. I don't understand dadka sidiisaba camal naceyb ka buuxo, yet marrying qof kasoo jeedo deegaanka ama dhulka uu naceybyahay, waa Koonfurtee. It doesn't make sense.

Baddacas, did your political opinion and support you've had for dhalinta Shabaab change lately? Just making sure lee.

This tragic event is way and beyond politicized. Some groups and people have just got on their plate waxee endlessly ku dacaayadeyaan their political foes. What 'legacy' would a mere 13-year-old girl, as the article says, would have? Kamoon. I am no friend of Shabaabs and wixii lamid ah, but it is obvious some are just using this case further to take a shot at them. Only Eebbe knows the true, merciless injustices ka dhacaayo dalkeena maalin walba, and very few Western media outlets waste both print ink and bandwidth reporting about this endless tragedy dalkeena ka dhacaayo. One aborted injust justice by their "Islamist" foes, and endless qoraalo about it. They have an agenda, and one should not follow blindly without all having the facts. I didn't comment this topic beforehand and I still didn't want, laakiinse some of us are blindly buying their blatant propaganda. This poor young girl Eebba ha u naxariisto, which ee Gacantiisa ku jirto. Anyone xaqdaro ku kufsaday, as alleged, and any xaqdaro ku dilay Eebba's justice ayee face gareynayaan.

Geeljire, waa isla fahanay now marka. About jiritaanka global warming or not, taas in la isku mashquuliyaba ma'aha. Laakiinse saa aragno dhulkaan dad ayaa hunguri bas u daran walaaqay oo wasaqeeye, oo leerta, ciiddeeda iyo baddeedaba dhaafin oo sumeeye.

I don't see anything wrong with some sentences up there. One can understand, as abhorable as the attacks were, attacking the so-called Xabashi "embassy" in Hargeysa, which is just a transit dadka loo dhiibo laga sii gudbiyo and sirdoon ku sheega's headquarters in Boosaaso, who do the one of classic Bush's doctrines of "extraordinary rendition" of handing innocent Soomaalis to Xabashis -- soon or not, someone or some group, as misguided as they are we think, would take some revenge. It is human nature. In the process, masaakiin waxba galabsan ku dhimanaayo, so it is qalad qalad ku sax. Laakiinse we were here, afka leerineynay markee waxaas dhacayaan, about the illegal renditions, some of us even denying that to taking place in those regions. Dadkaas la dhiibaayo, Xabashada loo dhiibaayo oo God knows waxa lagu sameynaayo, dadkaas dad ee ka dhasheen, they are not xoolo la iska iloowaayo. I can understand your very grieving reactions and outbursts now. I also understand the universal condemnations of those suicide bombs -- and no sane Soomaali is condoning them. We are all against whoever committed those attacks. Nevertheless, one should not blind to overlook what is taking place overall in our country. It is a fact, what happens in one place affects other places. Soomaali ma kala maarmaan, si walba kuwa u jecelyihiin inay kala fogeeyaan. However, again a question: Why this unrestrained reaction, which was not shown as a reaction toward waxyaabihii kale ee ka dhacay ama ka dhacaayo dalkeena? Where was this outburst reaction then? Some were even saying nama quseyso, some worse. Some quotations you quoted deals with that, and it is very plausible reaction and one needs to understand that. It leads into dangerous territories if dadka ka hadlo waxaan prompty is silenced, those who try to see from the side of what led to these attacks, what caused them. Don't be like Bush's regime in days following 9/11, which sought no questions asked of what led to that events. That would otherwise be blindness. The only thing Soomaali dhibaatadaan ugu bixi karaan is inay isku imaadaan, iskaashadaan, iscafiyaan, midowaan, isbiirsadaan. Inay Xabashi isku dhiibaan, inay walaalahooda u dhiibaan, inay dhagaha iyo indhaha ka qabsadaan waxyaabaha ku dhacaayo walaalahooda, taas ma soconeyso. Taas leads what the unfortunate tragic that happened shaley. Inta masaakiin maato aan waxba galabsan qaraxyadaan ku geeriyootay Eebbaheena ha u naxariisto, intii kale ku dhaawactayna Eebba ha caafiyo -- aamiin, aamiin. Inta masaakiin aan waxba galabsan, only because they belong wrong ideology, hail from wrong regions, speak wrong dialects Xabashada loo dhiibaayo in daily basis, dadkaasna Eebba haka qabto walaalahooda Soomaalida la sheeganaayo saas u geysanaayo -- aamiin, aamiin.
