I and Jew girl were the only ones working that day. So heck we did deserved everything we got . It's not like I was given the money for no work at all. Really? The whole package, everything? Maxaa la isku reebay taloow. I hope the workplace had closed-circuit cameras inside, balaayo aa dhacdee.

Quraansaar miyaa. Tahliisha adiga kasoo biloow dhankaaga hee, aan aniga xaaqo tuf ah ugu daree.

2-POLICEMAN SLAYS SOMALI PRESIDENT; Assassin Seized After Shot Kills Shermarke Instantly -- Curfew in Mogadiscio President of Somalia Is Slain; Policeman Seized as Assassin This guy indirectly and probably single-handedly changed the Soomaali history forever. If he only knew that one gun trigger he fired would change the fate of millions of his fellow countrymen present and in the future, I think he would have second thoughts. He is our own version of Gavrilo Princip, whose shot killed the Austro-Hungarian prince in 1914. Does anyone even know his name? We only know he was sentenced to death and was shot a few days after Kacaanka.

8. We are ruled by an enemy who wants to divide our country into pieces. Some of us welcome him with open arms, open trade offices for him and offer him our ports to import his goods. Some of us die with him in the same trenches killing our own people. Some of us exploit the refugees the enemy displaces and make them pay for the trees under which they seek shelter. Soomaali walba should read this paragraph again and again.

If aad dhibsatay the 'hypocrisy' word, I did not call you one, a hypocrite. Anyway, jawaabtaada intaa ka heleysaa, especially the post addressed to Dabshid in the middle. It is a year ago I posted that, which, however, still sums up my beliefs. I just don't have time to repeat myself all over again and again, laakiinse tan aan ku dhahaa: Any Soomaali, that ku jirto damiirnimo Soomaaliyed, that is resisting the Xabashi occupation, I am with him/her. I don't care his or her political ideology for the moment, waa ii Soomaali, iyagaa iiga dhaw Xabashi i gumeysan lahayd. I would rather live under a regime led by Indhamadoowe and other Shabaabs [whose idealogy I do not agree or share at all] than any Xabashi or Xabashi soo dhoob dhoobtay one. Nothing labafoolenimo [labawajiilenimo] about that.

Ma tagtay waligaa Seylac? This historical town is unfortunately neglected by the successive Soomaali adminstrations, pre- or post-war.

Why is every Somali an amateur propagandist? Whoa, whoa, Mr. Fadhikudirir, since when did you meet every imaginable Soomaali, then come and conclude in this weighty statement as a fact?

One year and thousands of innocents la xasuuqay later, we, unfortunately, will always remember and mark this depressing day. Eebba ha u wada naxariisto dhamaantood walaalaheen Xabashi iyo kuwa kabaha u sida xasuuqeen -- aamiin, aamiin.

Saaxiib, you can have a flag, a 'national' anthem, a military force, etc, but that does not change the fact Waqooyi is part and parcel of Soomaaliya. There will not be any so-called border, imagined or otherwise. Soomaaliya is Soomaaliya, one of one. If it helps you sleep well at night, there are some 'states' that practice and have what I mentioned above. The Canadian province of Quebec is one of them, having the whole nine yards, including an own internationally recognized flag, an own "national" language, an own "indepedence day" they celebrate each late June, heck even having their "National Assembly" legislature; participated [and still does] on its own merit the international Francophonie organization. All this does not officially change anything on the ground -- the province is still part of Kanada. Mareykanka's states have their own organized military, but the states are still part of United States. You get my drift? Heck, I welcome Waqooyi enter the World Cup tournament, as other non-state states Wales, Scotland and others do.

War qoftaan maa faraha laga qaado. Tuug la qabtay talo maleh aala dhihi jiree. Bas hee, she drunk caanihii, now waa inay tirtirtaa wixii ka daaday, which would take some decades to clean it up. Poor lady, should have known what was coming. A sad story. She is a fraudster and should pay for the crime. I hate to say somalis think they are smart enough not to be caught. Somalis are becoming common scenes in criminal trials. Duqa, one way or another, people abuse the system. Some worse, from Enron to Worldcom to Tyco to Halliburton to Conrad Black and Eebbe knows how many hundreds of thousands are defrauded each day by corporations and others. They, the politicians, created the system, whom were funded by the corrupt corporations and elected by the unsuspecting electorate. Their corruption is a bit too advanced. But masuqmaasuqnimo is masuqmaasuqnimo. I don't blame per se what she did -- I blame her id.iocy of not thinking being caught soon, considering how extragavant, excessive and in-your-face of her uber lifestyle was. She also probably thought she was smarter than the system, oo hunguri weynaan iyo iimaankii ka tagay. Ciyaalkeeda lee Eebba meel ha ugu sahlo.

Some say the musical composition is based on Caraweelo's original, historical musical folk. I don't believe this crap, since I don't even believe Caraweelo existed iskaba dhaaf wax muusiga loo garaacee. You had, however, just given me an idea: To download and save it as a ringtone. The cell phone's usual ringtone is the beautifully composed . The theme was probably written by a non-Soomaali, though solely intended for Biibiisii Soomaali. It is also a theme that instantly conjures up a recognition by the vast majority of Soomaalis. It also evokes out some childhood memories, men galab casariya ah shaah cabaayo, just before maqrib, waiting to listen Biibiisii at countless biibatooyin in Soomaaliya.

Ninka Mareykanka degmadda Buuloburde soo joogi jiray Afsoomaaligiis seems almost flawless. Xarafyadda c iyo x suu ugu dhawaaqaayo waligeey ma arkin qof Soomaali ahayn saas ugu dhawaaqaayo. Xataa ereyga 'isnadaamis' suu u dhahay sahlan, dad badan Soomaaliyeed karinba ereygaas. Dabshid, hayeey ha nagu dirin walaalaheen inta fadhiyo.

They are fighting for Soomaalinimo iyo Islaanimo, a feeling some so-called "Soomaalis" do not feel at all. Not an iota. Their hypocricy a thousand miles laga arki karo. Dareen iyo damiir baa jiro. Xabashi Soomaali gumeysato, Soomaali wada baaba'do ayaa dhaanto. Damiir Soomaaliyeed qof ku jirina ma siinaayana in uu u dulqaato and waana in uu la diriraa, be it af, gacan, dhaqaale iyo halbowlaha. Meel ay ahaataba ha lagula dagaalamee, including SOL. "Guts and adrenaline" kulahaa. Ma movie ayuu mooday.

Our sister Koolkat and her family do indeed need our duco. Please pray for her brother, who is in an emergency room hospital, but thank God in stable condition now. He and friends were viciously attacked by some merciless mob. Please u duceey walaasheen walaalkeed. Please keep him in your prayers.

Gabar Soomaali in la siiyo waaye ninkaan, dhalasho Soomaaliyeedna loogu daro. Is he Muslim horta? Afka Soomaaliga horumarka uu gaarsiiye malaayiin Soomaaliyeed ma gaarsiin. ----------- Dabshid, baabuurkaas calanka suuraha leh lagu buufiye in London laga leeyahay u maleynaa.

Nothing interesting, curse or otherwise, about what we Soomaalis are living now. A very confused people scattered around the world; and those who remain subjected to unimaginable inhumane treatments; a nation and people without a government for almost two decades. A divided, very clanish people, who do not know what their real, tangible common interest is. Interesting times or not, we will, however, [and Eebbe willing] pass this tragic conundrum that seems to never end.

War hoostaa laguu giliyee waxaas maa aaminsanahay iyo waxaan kale maxaa waaye. Iska dhici igaarta aan ku dhahay. Timaha ka rif rif waliba.

If your protest and beef was about this woman’s appointment then you should have addressed it as so rather then being prejudice and ignorant. I don’t know this woman or anything about her background but in reality one doest have to be a PhD holder or a successful CEO to be an ambassador. Being an ambassador is usually defined as diplomacy which is that, it is the oral aspect of international relation. There is an essential difference between what is written and what is spoken, not only because spoken words are essentially more ephemeral, but because the spoken language has infinitely more nuances, being both richer and more subtle than written texts. As for this woman, she already seems to have the knack for the job...Congrats to her and her connections [The envious me speaks here] Big up for SINGLE MOTHERS!

Salma Aaden December 21, 2007 - Toronto Star - Salma Adam has been on a long trip; she's home now, here for good. Her travel began four years ago, when she was in her teens. Her parents died in Somalia during the war. In order to avoid an arranged marriage to an elder – the man already had several wives – she was spirited out of the country and into the United States by an uncle. From there she was given a bus ticket that pointed north. Salma walked across the Peace Bridge late one night, alone in the cold, wearing sandals and a cotton dress against the wintery weather. We sent her back that night, but we took her in the next day. Since then, she has graduated from Emery Adult Learning Centre, where she improved her English and earned enough credits to get into college. She will graduate next year as a registered nurse. I went to see her the other day at a federal government building on Dundas at Kipling. She was there to get her citizenship. That's what I meant when I said her travels were over. Home is here, now. I hadn't seen her for a couple of years. I wasn't sure I'd recognize her. Then I noticed a young woman in front of a citizenship and immigration plaque; she had just asked a passerby to snap her photo. And I saw that smile; Salma, no doubt about it. How has she been? She said, "Oh, I've moved house several times, going from place to place, but I've managed. I've been doing nursing jobs in hospitals and homes, anything I can do." How's school? She began to talk, non-stop, breathless, optimistic. "I was on the dean's list last month. I'm really very happy. Today's my day. It's been tough but good things always come if you work hard every day. "I think back; there were a lot of things in my way. You know, that day on the bridge I wished I didn't come. I wished my uncle hadn't asked me to leave. I wished I was still in Somalia. Did I know all the things in store for me? No. But keeping the faith will keep you moving." Has she spoken to her uncle? "My uncle doesn't have a phone. The town has a walkie-talkie. To talk to him, I have to make an appointment, and then he has to come." An unspoken loneliness in her eyes; will she go back for a visit? "When I graduate I will go back. It's still not safe. Perhaps one day I can sponsor my uncle." I hope so. How is she managing her tuition? "I have a Millennium Bursary. The first year I had a scholarship from the Maytree Foundation. For the second, third and fourth years I have been getting scholarships. I'm doing really well." She also got a little lump of money one year from Honest Ed, who was in the habit of giving grants to newcomers. Ed, you should see her now. The room where the citizenship ceremony took place was full to overflowing. Salma sat up straight, looked around the room and said, "I've made friends with all kinds of people; Filipinos, Pakistanis, I have friends from every group." There were 98 people from 36 countries getting their citizenship that morning; after the ceremony, Salma stood among them, posed for a few photos, ate a red-and-white government cupcake, drank a cup of coffee courtesy of Tim's and said, "Now I have to go to work. I have a job in the Health Sciences lab at Humber. It helps me survive. I have exams to prepare for. And I have a job interview coming up." Journey over? Just beginning.

Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead. Maxaa, awoowe miyaana? Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Wah, shiirkaaga muu dadka usoo jeedinaa? About the rest, no comment.

So, Mr. Fadhikudirir, you are not that Soomaali after all. I see. What fascinates you about Soomaalis, that even compels you to create and recreate the map of Soomaaliya and the tiniest changed clan conflicts on the ground? About the maps -- not this one, but others -- are they accurately measurable between the distance of each towns and cities, especially taking in account the latitude and longitude? Or you are just estimating, getting a little help from other official maps?

Are you Soomaali, by the way? Your ways certainly do not sound a one. Just a curious question.

Mr. Fadhikudirir and his maps. Good one, this one that is.
