H.E. Abdinur A. Darman The president of Somali Republic was born in Somalia to Ambassador Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Darman and Ashkira Ali Shendile, on 24th October 1952. He left the country when his father was accredited to the United Nations in 1962 . He remained out of the country until his return in 1992 with Operation Restore Hope. Elected Chairman of the United Somali Republic party in 1999, the first political party since the military coup of Said Barre 1969. Became the President of Somali Republic on June 5th 2003 at the National Reconstruction Conference in Somalia.

Maxee dhahoysaa islaantaas? Sugba aan dhageystee mar kale. Hmm. Haa, waxee leedahay, "Iska dhaaf waa jirantahay gabadhaan; dhibaatadda Illaah haka qaado ..." I think one of the producers/directors of that show -- which I never watched, as any other show -- must be married to a Soomaali woman.

Editorial from my favourite Western paper. ------------ Return of the Warlords The Guardian Leader [editorial] Abriil 26, 2007 Once again, the residents of Mogadishu are cowering under the hammer blows of shellfire. Once again, the capital is in the grip of warlords, clan leaders and foreign armies. Once again, the body count is mounting. More than 320,000 civilians, between a quarter and a sixth of Mogadishu's population, have fled. The UN says Somalia is suffering one of the worst humanitarian crises in his history and suspects the transitional federal government (TFG) of stopping aid from getting through to refugees. Have we been here before? The answer, of course, is yes. That brief period when the Somali Council of Islamic Courts restored order, removed the roadblocks and the rubbish from the streets and reopened the airport and the harbour (before being swept away by US-backed Ethiopian forces last December) is starting to look like a golden age. But it is more complicated than that. The Islamic Courts lost a lot of their credibility among the ******, Somalia's largest clan, by sending volunteers to their deaths against an Ethiopian army which was better-trained and -equipped. Having provoked the battle, the Islamists did not stand and fight. They melted away in the city or the heavily wooded areas in the south. Many fled into exile and won no affection among a population left to suffer the consequences. A top military leader has since been told by his clan that he is no longer welcome back in Mogadishu. But if the Islamic courts are a busted flush, Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf's transitional government has lost no time in doing the Islamic Courts' propaganda work for them by terrorising the civilian population. There are two main questions that Colonel Yusuf's and Ethiopia's western backers should now ask themselves. What was gained by encouraging the Ethiopian army to topple the Islamic Courts? The US allowed Ethiopia to arm itself with North Korean weapons and also participated in the turkey shoot by using gunships against suspected insurgents hiding in villages near the Kenyan border. Washington was convinced that the Islamic Courts were sheltering foreign terror suspects. But how many did they get and what price have Somalis paid? Six weeks ago the TFG said it would end the insurgency in 30 days. An assessment released yesterday by two Chatham House academics, Cedric Barnes and Harun Hassan, claimed that more than 1,000 people were killed and 4,300 wounded in the offensive that followed. It has still not ended, and this leads to the second question. Why is the EU funding the TFG, when its leader is using the presidential compound to shell civilian areas? Is this what state-building is supposed to mean?

Originally posted by me: Hold up MMA, although you got points, allot of hardworking Somalis have lost properties in this war. What do you have to say about them? Why focus on niman gacanta lagu tirin karo waxay dhaceen? Its unfair of you to focus on what few men did MMA. Edit: the issues of the looted properties haven't been adressed for the past 16 years, why are they being addressed now? Waa in lays cafiyo, wixii laysku leeyahayna laga xisaabtamo. Xabashidan waxay sameenayaan cid walbaa way aragtaa, lakiinse maxaa laga qaban karaa, hadii aan xaqa laysku raacsaneen? Marka hore aan anagu isla xisaabtamno. Me, dib ugu noqo waxaan qoray, qaas ahaan baragaraafyada ugu dambeeyo. It seems we might've practically agreed, only a minor point, which is Xabashadda. As long as Xabasha heysato dalkeena hooyo, who looted the whole country, taas la iskama indhatiraayo. Those who raise this looting business lately as an issue are not sincere since they do know themselves for that. They do know inay ka ahayn caring about their nation and people, dal iyo wax ay ka tahayba midna ma jirto. They have exhausted any darn excuse to sugarcoat Xabasho's presence of dalkeena, thinking this bililiqo business of theirs will rejuvenate, while blindly ignoring the real maroodi in the room. I am sad you fell for them for now. Addressing bililiqeystay properties is not for now. The reason I brought back the looted national lands, farms, etc, in the name of 'hantiwadaag,' I brought this forth inay la socdaan that bililiqo inay bilaaban post-war. That bililiqo was state-sanctioned -- heck, state policy -- and as you wrongly alluded, were not limited to a well-connected "few men." They were not few men [or women for that matter], those names mentioned the first post were only given as an illustration. Mass bililiqo in the name of state is worse than a privately bililiqeysi properties. Yet, as I said Soomaalida had forgiven and moved on, oo taas lama dabasocdo, oo qof beertuu 30 sano kahor Kacaanimo iyo qabiilnimo ku helay soo celi la leeyahay ma jiro. It was a reminder to those who may not like to acknowledge this known knowledge about plundering of our natural resources the former regime. And lest you misunderstood again: No, I am not -- and never am -- condoning those who bililiqeystay dad xoolahooda iyo maalkooda si xalaal ku shaqeystay, be it guri, baabuur iyo wax kale. Yes, they are some who ka dhigtay 'xalaal' waxaas ay bililiqeysteen. I had seen them on my own eyes in Xamar 2003. I condemn those, regardless meeshee ka bililiqeysteen. Taas oo tahay, mar labaad aan ku celiyee, maanta dalkii la heysto in laga hadlo ma'aha. ------------- YOU HAVE GOOD POINT THERE, BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PICK MY UNCLE IN ALL PEOPLE AS EXAMPLE (YOUR FORGIVEN) Xogogaal, yaa waaye adeerkaa? Xoosh? If he is, he doesn't need your defense. Does he still live in Virginia?

Another Yaawalad akward moment on Aljasiira's Inside Story program. The shameless Xabashi informer and holder of Xabashi diplomatic passport, Yuusuf Ashari was there, along with Ibraahin Caddoow from Maxkamadaha the other day. Just watch the clip at the bottom, especially at the end, at 10:40 minutes. Another Yaawalad classic piece. Ashari cries like a big boy, losing his already delicate, hot temper even more and takes his frustration on anchorwoman and Aljasiira since he couldn't neither elaborate nor articulate his points as Md. Caddoow cooly did. [Perhaps they should have interviewed him in Aftigrey or Afamxaar.] Ashari: But why do you impose on me your questions, while you are not imposing on him [Caddoow] with those questions ... Absolutely, absolutely, this is unfair of Jasiira, and Jasiira that is why they are losing audience and losing their prestige around the world right now, starting from the last time in Jordan. What a character. Answer the darn kuweeshinis, or meesha ka tag. Crying on international platform. Cry a webi, baby stooge.

The map is from during Mussolini's adventure to Xabashi land in early World War II, which he eventually occupied for few years. He hadn't either attacked or captured British's colonialization of Waqooyi or Faransiiska's Jabuuti. I don't know why they used that map, perhaps having a Waqooyi exclusion as a British colonial was the point?

Back in the capital we visited another hospital, the Benadir, and saw some of the most harrowing scenes of all. There were no beds. In one bare room after another the concrete floors were covered with emaciated children lying on filthy rugs, tended by desperate mothers. There were 700 of them, most under 5, all suffering from dysentery and cholera contracted in the refugee camps. Nowhere in Somalia is safe any more. The casualties fill its foetid wards, corridors and overflow tents, and lie under trees outside. They are people like Ruqio Muse, a 22-year-old mother of three young children who said her thigh was shattered by an Ethiopian sniper’s bullet as she retrieved goods from her clothing stall in one of the city’s battlegrounds. Next to her lie two semi-comatose girls — 16-year-old cousins — whose skin was burnt from their faces by a landmine explosion. Ahmed, 14, has had a leg amputated. Said Muhammad Abukar, a mere 40 days old, lay grey and trembling on an operating table in Madina hospital. His tiny stomach was slit down the middle. Doctors were searching for shrapnel in his abdomen. There was a large hole in his lower back. Muhammad Abukar Ahmed, Said’s distraught father, told The Times that eight members of his family had been about to flee from war-torn Mogadishu when a shell hit their house in the residential area of Mahad Alab. The building was destroyed. It took Mr Ahmed, 25, a teacher of the Koran, 15 minutes to dig himself out of the rubble. “I didn’t know if I was going to live, let alone my son,” he said. Saida Ali Muhammad, 40, had fled Mogadishu with her children but returned to sell milk when she was hit by shrapnel in both legs. “This is shameful,” said her uncle, Farah Rage, as he tried to cool her with a fan. “We are in the middle of two crazy groups, one calling themselves insurgents and the other saying they’re the Government. Both are in concrete buildings so it’s the civilians who die.” Hussein Dhere, the hospital’s despairing deputy director, said his staff were working round the clock and “if this lasts another ten or twenty days we can’t cope. I feel very sorry. Sometimes I’m angry. Our people are dying.” Abdirahman Figi, the hospital chief, said the Ethiopians had shelled it, stolen its money and medicines, then commandeered it for barracks. He said thousands of refugees were at risk from the onset of the rainy season and then winter. “The Islamic Courts brought peace and we were happy,” he said. The new Government was “worse than the warlords”. More than 50 died as fire raged through the camp’s rickety shelters made of wood and plastic sheeting. All that remains is an expanse of ash littered with the blackened remains of cooking pots, lamps and corrugated iron. “My family fled to the countryside,” said Hussain Ibrahim Yusef, a young boy standing alone in the devastation. “We were separated. I don’t know where to follow them.” Waxaan wax la aqrin karo ma'aha, runtii. Shisheeyihii ayaa dareenkooda celin waaye, not only shisheeye but a journalists, who are trained to control their emotions.

So, I see, lately, SOL's favourite Political section catch phrase is resonating with, umm, 'loot' iyo 'bililiqo.' Do you honestly want to talk about looting? Really, you do? Hokey, let's talk about looting. Let's, for real, talk about the real looting in the name of 'hantiwadaag' iyo 'danwadaag.' Let's talk about how C/raxmaan Jaamac Barre, Moorgan, Xuseen Kulmiye, Maslax Max'ed Siyaad and practically each person who had higher Kacaan connection have had some farms in the best fertile lands of Afgooye and beyond to Jubbooyinka. Where did those best lands come from? They bought them? Oh, baliis. Have you ever asked who owned [and owned here is the keyword] those lands before they were confiscated, appropriated in the name of the socialism? And how come it never went for the greater good of the public, but, ironically, individually owned? Oh, let's talk about Xoosh and his [in]famous booliqaran prime estates at Wadajir [Madiina] discrict, all in the name of 'hantiwadaag' supposedly. Oh, should we continue this looting, which seemingly seems to be the current past time of this section to continue? Do you want? No, we don't. That was then. Soomaali people forgot and forgave, and moved on. That is the other perspective. What many of you ignore or try not to know. Nonetheless. There are genuine concerns about some bililiqo properties in Soomaaliya and it needs a real dowlad with an own wasaarad u qaabilsan. Laakiin hala ogaado, the current looted meel walba inay ka dhacday since post-civil war, from Hargeysa to Baydhaba to Kismaayo. My own uncle's large property and baqaar were looted in Baydhabo in front of my own mother, who is his sister. So maxaa Xamar loo daba taaganyahay marka? Xamar is the largest city? I understand, laakiin maanta ma'aha this flimsy, tenuous excuse in laga dhigto a central point where all other points are obviously exhausted because there is no defense, no other way, no ostentatious, no sugarcoating [to borrow this phrase from a Soomaali writer], nada, about what Xabashadda are doing in Soomaaliya currently. Xabashadda, heck, are looting the whole country, while some of us meeshaan ku sugan guri ayaa la iga heystaa ku haayaan. You can get your guri -- and kaligiina idinkama maqno -- back. It has to wait, though. First Xabash and their stooges needs to go. You need to support that, for you own guri kaa maqan's sake, hadaaba wax kale aadan ku support gareyneynin. Do not think Xabash will free those houses for you while it is occupying the whole country and massacring masaakiinta. Ha iska dhaadhacsiin taas. Don't.

Tobikaan intuu ka socdaa, oo u socdaa? Waaba la qabsan waaye, oo si walbaa u aqriye, oo cursory glance ugu sameeye since it is too long to read each post? Should we discuss the original first post about leadership ku sheega at Bari and their alleged 'extraordinary rendition' of wadaadadda to Amxaarland. Then it was hijacked from left to right, right to left. Then it turned to personal accusasions of what one supposedly, innerly believes. Then personal insults. Me, I hate to interfere, but you cannot simply and directly call members of this site 'liars' without bringing forth any evidence. That last post will be edited, unless you bring wax caddeys ah oo dadka beenaale ugu tilmaamtid. Until then, it will be edited. I, however, do agree some qeyladooda orgiga ka weyn about Xabasho invasion. It seems, yes, more oxymoronic and contradictory. However, I don't believe you should have raised those points now, at this crucial stage. Nevertheless, you did, so let me add a few taano of mine. Some's SOLers grievance what is happening today in Soomaaliya stems from more about Maxkamadaha's defeat than seeing Xabasho occupying Soomaaliya, especially Xamar. To them, showing a real concern to a particular political movement or group is better than the subject of occupying Soomaaliya and her citizens suffer. Some have personal clan issues against the Frail Stooge of Xabashadda, C/llaahi Yuusuf. Some others already ayaa laga hayaa inay Soomaalinimo jirin dhahayn, and they don't believe in Soomaalinimo, yet show that much concern about Soomaaliya because of "Islaanimo." Well, Kaashmir Muslim ayaa joogto, maalin walbana la isku laayaa; same with Falastiin, yet no body has shown about their plight more than this emotional, conflicting state of ours on SOL. What is happening in Soomaaliya touches us more than what is happening in Kashmiir, Shishiin, Falastiin or any other Muslims oppressed, suffering on their land. What is this touching? Of course Soomaalinimo. It is a real sad to see some comparing and equaling Soomaalinimo to the Stooges of Xabashadda -- i.e. Cabdillaahi Yuusuf and Geedi and their ilk -- and their qabyaalad-influenced few worshippers of theirs. They have nothing to do with Soomaalinimo, and some of you are doing injustice equaling Soomaalinimo to those few individuals. They are opportunists, Soomaali ku sheeg ah, let alone being caring about Soomaaliya plight. I will, however, for the sake of finishing this long post, tell you what Soomaalinimo is and is all about. Soomaalinimo IS about iskaashi, isbaheysi, iswehelsi, iswadaag, isdhowr, iskufilnaan, istaageerid, midnimo, walaaltinimo, cadaalad -- these and much, much more are qualities about Soomaalinimo, not what a few Soomaali ku sheeg stooges and puppets of Xabashadda do. Soomaalinimo is not about what some Soomaali ku sheeg leaders claim. Soomaalinimo is about what you feel when you had never seen a Soomaali some few years and suddenly come across in some foreign land's small town -- you come across a Soomaali person. It is about exactly what and how you feel inside your beerkaaga iyo uurkaaga. The happiness, the comfort, the walaaltimo, the almost-cannot-wait welcome you have for that individual. Soomaalinimo is about why you never feel stranger to a Soomaali person around you. Never. If iskaashi iyo isbaheysi naga dhaxeeyo, Xabash nama soo haweysan lahayn, let alone kuwa usoo horseedo dalkeena. That was tested in both 1964 and 1977, both which Soomaali gacmaha iswada heysato defeated Amxaaradda. Can we defeat currently Xabashadda while each clan enclave is watching halhal loo cunaayo the other limb of Soomaali body? Yes, Eebbe ha idmo. However, it will be long way, a long way to go, especialy looking the current Waqooyi and Bari leadership are practically sovereign in their local affairs and both juuq iyo jaaq Xabasho ma u dhihi karaan; worse, they try harder to see which one pleases more the Master in Adisababa. They are both avowed enemies of one another, unnecessarily shedding our young brothers' blood. A misplaced hatred, though, where the real enemy is just right there, in our midst. We blindly ignore it. We, even worse, consult with the historical foe how to kill the brother, how to deceive, how to subject, how to enslave. That is what it is, what Xabasho always wanted, having each clan enclave isku ah waraabo iyo dawaco, oo cadowtinimo isku qabo. They also, almost, got other things they wanted the last 500 years -- broke, disunited, each clan enclave under their sphere of influence and domain. The South soo hartayna iskaba dhaaf waxyaabaha ka dhacaayo ma sheegi karno. If Soomaali isbiirsan lahayd waxaan ma dhacayn. We collectively as a Soomaali dareenkii naga dhamaaday and are practically watching what is in Xamar, watching to see part of our own Soomaali body Xabash cuneyso. Why there is no uprising in Baydhabo? In Kismaayo? In Beledweyne? In Bari? In Hargeysa? Why? Anaga waa iska adagnahay, laakiinse the moment Xabasho soo gisho meesha, shib shib naga dhacdaa, cabsi iyo psychological waxee tahay Eebbaa og. Look at Kismaayo today? Laba qabiil xoog inay ku qabsadaan rabo meel ayba shaqo ku lahayn, which is not the point and I digress. The point is the same week Xabasho soldiers abandoned that city to Xamar, maalmo kama soo wareegan when suddenly clan wars started. Many of us do not know this fact, oo la iswada heystaa. Sad. I am not accusing anybody, including myself, but we at least need to be honest, some of us at least have to. That is where the healing of unity starts from. Soomaalinimo haddaa ka cararteen, ogaado nothing, absolutely nothing else will unite Soomaalida. Taas bal ogaada. The only golden time we all united in one goal, from late '40s to mid '70s, we reached the pinnacle of our collective Soomaali height. What united those yesterday Soomaalis? Soomaalinimo. Soomaaliyeey, aan hurdada ka kacno. Soomaaliyeey, aan wada toosno.

Posting same pictures again and agian without a purpose, with one picture each post, that is called trolling and, worse, wasting the site's bandwidth. If you don't have a message than mindless pictures of some individuals in each post, then this section is not for that. This section is intended for debates, not evaluating some men's pictures.

Originally posted by roobleh: quote: City = magaalo Town = degmo Village = tuulo Hamlet = buulo Boorama is a degmo . Having said that, it looks good. MMA, I am afraid you did not get it right this time. If this was a guess, then you guessed it wrong. Borame is a not only a city, but is the capital city of Awdal . Following is the definition of a city from Barron's Dictionary from answers.com "In general: subdivision of a state, with its own local government. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the average population of a city is 5000. Several cities can constitute a county. A city is usually chartered by the state." BARRON'SBoorama is not magaalo; it never fitted a magaalo discription, either pre-war and post-war Soomaaliya. Neither is it 'magaalo madax.' There is only one magaalo madax in Soomaali sense and that is Muqdisho. What you meant, however, is xarunta gobolka Awdal, which Boorama is not either. The last I knew in pre-war, it is some place called Baki. The reason aan loogu dhigin xarun, unlike most other gobolo's largest degmooyin, I think, has to do it being too close to Soomaali Galbeed and thus out of Itoobiya since there was always wars involved with them. All other gobolo had xarun laga xukumo, not 'magaalo madax' or 'capital city.' The classical definition of 'city' [magaalo] -- not the American government's definition of it, which has a political meaning behind it -- is a place that has at least 100,000 people. A 'town' [degmo] has less than that and between 10,000 [and sometimes 5,000]. A 'village' [tuulo] is between anywhere from five hundred to upto 5,000. A few hundred or tens is a hamlet [buulo]. Anybody can put anything on wikipedia. You shouldn't have quoted it.

Toddoba ama lix kale oo ciidanka Qaranka ka tirsanaan jiray ayaa la dilay since then, almost all since Xabashadda Xamar qabsadeen four months ago. There was a gap and lull between these murders the few months Maxkamadaha ka talinaayeen Xamar, perhaps the assassinators laying low. I always wanted to document them, mar walbana iloowi jiray. Inkastoo dadkaas la wada dilay ay ka dambeyn hal group, hadana dadka ciidamadda ugaarsanaayo inay Xabashadda tahay taas la iskuma haayo. Dalka inay ka dhigto ayee rabtaa saraakiil la'aan oo difaac la'. Mana dilaan dadkaas ciidamadda ugaarsado dadka la yaqaano ee caanka ah maxaa yeelay attention ayee usoo jiidayaan, mana dilaan dadka garaadadooda yartahay oo muhiim ma'aha dadkaas, kaliya waxee ugaarsadaan kuwa dhexda ku jiro oo gaashaanle, gaashaanledhexe iyo gaashaanglesare wada ah. Dad kale iyagana waxgaradka iyo aqoonyahanadda, sida C/qaadir Yaxye, ugaarsado ayaa jiro, kuwaas qolooyin kale waaye oo dan kale leh. Kuwa kalena aargudasho, qabiilnimo iyo lacag ayaa loo dilay. Kuwa si kadis ayee shil ugu dhinteen. Saas oo tahay, ciidamadda Qaranka kuwa ayaa ugaarsado, oo taas shaki kuma jirto.

Adigana offside maku dhacday? Kamoon, dadkaan ayaa iska baacso isdhahaaye. Aabahooda ayaa sawirka ka qaaday oo u labisay, si fiican u dhisay; laakiin ciyaalka, haa, reer Kitchener waaye.

Daa'uud, ha quursan duqa. Despairnimada waa laga baxaa maalintee ahaato. NB - Since I see you liking archival pictures from the golden years of '60s, I got some unscanned ones of my father and the then government activities he was member of. I might share it with you, especially a Soomaali parliament delegation to Shiinaha in 1968. We had hundreds of pictures like that, including my old man with C/rashiid and Aaden Cadde too and other world leaders. We have lost much and the few we have is divided between each sibling that lives around the world. I will try to scan that parliament one in Shiinaha, Eebbe ha idmo.
