I thought you wrote that. Oh, it was a copy-and-paste miyaa? It wasn't a Reuters-worthy article, so I thought inaa adiga soo summurize gareysay. Next time its source soo raacsii. Yes, the word Soomaali/Samaale is a tribe, like Kiikuuyo, faraciisana clans u kala baxo. Of course they are non-ethnic Soomaalis that are Soomaali by nationality, but waa yaryihiin kuwaas.

Clans wars, dear. Clan = qabiil [isku jinsi ah, kala ah laakiin jilib/bah/tol/reer/iwm], ethnically the same. Tribe = qowmiyad, ethnically different [kala jinsi]. Kiikuuyu, Masaay and other tribes in Kenya and other patched up tribes into made-up countries of Afrika by colonials consist tribes, unlike the ethnic Soomaalis, who are clans.

Somalis have a striking, which, combined with their ruddy, has earned them the nickname of "fox" in some circles. Abyssinians and Somalis share the same personality (active, intelligent, playful, curious) and appearance. Like Abyssinians, they have a dark rim around their eyes that makes them look like they are wearing kohl. Temperament They are smart and lively, but also alert and curious. They are freedom-loving and must have plenty of room to roam and explore. [AKA being nomads.] Behaviours and patterns There are four main Somali colors officially accepted: Ruddy, red, blue, and fawn. European Somali organizations have a different naming convention: "Usual" for ruddy and "sorrel" for red. Genetic problems Many purebred Somalis had significant dental problems due to congenital problems magnified by inbreeding. As a result, many Somalis had to have all their adult teeth removed. More on Soomaalis simplified.

A Hamburg lawyer's office provides an intriguing example of what she means. Thirty-six-year-old Nils Bergner prays to Allah five times a day. The German convert works together with a Turkish friend Ali Özkan, also a Muslim. The two visit the mosque together, but it's only in the German's office that the prayer rug is regularly rolled out. "I just can't manage it," says Özkan. "The first prayer is at 6:00 a.m. — much too early." Recently, they were invited to dinner. The desert was tiramisu. Bergner hesitated because of the alcohol in the recipe. "I said, you can't be serious," Özkan recalls. "Go ahead and eat it, I said. It's just a flavoring." But Bergner left the tiramisu untouched. Kii Muslimka u dhashay ayaa qamriga caadi la ah, kii soo Islaamay ayaa diidaayo. Adduunka maanta si si kale ayuu u shaqeynoyaa, walaahi. This is the "moderate" and "extremist" Bush, allies and Western media talk about. You can have a bit of aalkolo, a piece of doonfaar, miss the salaadda, etc, because you are a "moderate." If you defend your land and not be submissive, you are a "violent person" that should be airbombed to death in your own land, because that defending one's nation from "terrorists" aren't "violent," says Bush. Try to defend yours, you are a "terrorist." George Washington was a defender of his land, was not a terrorist, but a "freedom fighter" and "anti-imperialism" goes the American propaganda. So was Lincoln, who killed thousands of fellow countrymen.

Horta I wonder why are those subway stations in that city so deeeeeeeep down? I once read it had to do being shelders during the airbombing of Hitler in World War II. Yea, it is old city, but that is still not snow -- flurries waaye.

Xaniifa, nice to see you again, walaashiis. Haka walwalin qashinka ee qoraan Soomaali ku sheega inta ku jiro, maba aaminsani inay saas u badanyihiin. Internetka ay iskaga noolyihiin because you can never see them in real life or don't dare to say that in real life waxee inta ku yada-yada-yada ku leeyihiin, for I hadn't seen qof dowlad ku sheegaan Xabashada wadato taageero, meel walbaa tagee, qabiil walba haka soo jeedaanee. Qashinkee qoraan dhag jalaq ha u siin, sister.

And they really call this snow? What you call 'snow' is flurries. Baraf baas halkaan ka da'o routinely looks like this: And the city still functions. Then again, that is Landhan. Magaalo ka cariiri badan jirin, where a typical road can't handle two passing cars.

Reer Vancouver did their share of daljecelnimo. Waa mahadsantihiin. Also Qowmiyada Oromada [soomaali Aboow]. Vancouver, Canada - Jan 19, 2007 - Bannaabax ballaaran oo ay ka soo qayb galeen qowmiyadaha Soomaali iyo Itoobiya ayaa ka dhacay magaalada Vancouver ee dalka Canada. Bannaanbaxaas ayeed dadkii ka soo qayb galay ku muujiyeen sida ay uga xun yihiin siyaasadda kaligii taliyaha Mele Zenawi. Waxayna ka codsadeen dowladda Canada in ay ku cadaadiso in Ra'iisul Wasaare Mele Zenawi deg-deg ciidamadiisa kala soo boxo waddanka Soomaaliya. Click each thumbnail to enlarge. More sawiro

Waxaan jeesto jeesto iyo ku xumeys ee kaa tahay, oo Soomaalidii kale in la heysto kula tahay, adigana lagu heystan. Maanta rumeyso ama ha rumeyso, Xabash Soomaalida dalkooda ayee ugu amartaagleyaan, meeshee ciidamadooda ka joogaan mise meeshee ka joogin, qof juuq u dhihi karo maleh. Maxaa ugu wacan? Xabash awood ma gaarsiin heerkaas, ee Soomaali iyagaa isdhigay [ari meeshuu isdhigaa lagu qalaa], oo midnimadii iyo qaranimadii ka doorbiday masuuqmaasuqnimo iyo qabyaalad. Haddee Soomaalida isku duubnaan lahayeen, sida ee ahayeen '60s iyo '70s, Xabash awood ee nagu soo haweysato iska dhaafee, xataa dhankeena masoo fiirin lahayn. Teeda kalena Soomaali dhulkeeda shisheeye kusoo duulo tan ma ugu horeynin, oo in la isku dhiibo ma'aha, damiirkana ma galaayo, inkastoo jeesto kaa tahay. Cismaaniyiintii baa yimid, Burtuqiis baa yimid, Masaaridii ayaa timid, Cummaaniintii ayaa yimid, Ingiriis, Faransiis iyo Talyaani ayaa halmar isla yimid, kuligoodna laga raacdeeye dhulkeene hooyo. Wax isku dhiibayna ma jirin. Maanta Xabash ciyaalkiisa xataa waxee cunaan heysan iskuma dhiibeyno, habeenkii xaley tagay. Sheeko aan hadda kahor maqli jiray ayaaba soo xasuustay. Nin ayaa laga hayaa asagoo yiri: Reer Qansax ayaa shisheeye soo weeraray, oo laaye. Juuq ma dhihin, oo maxaa iga galay. Reer Qurac baala soo weeraray, oo la tirtiray. Jiiq ma dhihin maxaa iga galay, tolkeyga ma'aha. Reer Boocbooc ayaa lasoo weeraray, la wada dhameeye. Afka ma kala qaadin, iskaba dhaaf hiilis. Markii dambe reerkeyga Reer Tiintiin ayaa lasoo weeraray, qof ii soo gurmato ayaan waaye maadaama walaalaheey la wada laaye. Marka sheekadaas ayee ku jirtaa Soomaalida, marxalada maanta jirto tol/jilib/laf/bah/reer/qoys waaka weyntahay. Halhal hala isku fiirsado, intii halhal loo dhameenaayo walaalaha Soomaaliyeed. Laakiin ma dhaceyso, as long as damiir Soomaali leh, qaranimo iyo daljecelnimo ku jirto noolyihiin.

Aidid said: "This is just speculation and we have not received any information." Of course. Yaala tashanaayo qashin. Their master, Sanaawi, knows what happens in Jubbooyinka than themselves since beforehand loogu sheego asaga by his own American master, maadaama uu maanta dalka dhan uu occupier ku yahay, asagaa lala tashtaa. Even Xamiid Qarsaay, as powerless and lame duck as he is, is informed when masaakiinta reer Afgaan lagu laayo bambooyinkaas Galbeedka u adeegsadaan dadkaas maatida ah. Then again Xamiid Qarsaay at least controls Kabul.

Naceyb Soomaalinimo halkaan ayee dadka gaarsiisay. Xabash qofna kaaba haayo, ee u tag, isku dhiib. Dhulkooda kaama dheero maadaama aad Hargeysa joogtid, starting right after Xarare on the highway to Addis Ababa, ugu tag meeshaas.

And what, pray tell, would one call a Soomaali isku sheeg, supposedly Muslim, supporting and cheerleading into an ultimate alalaas Xabash's airbombing of Soomaali cities and towns, in the process murdering and eradicating Eebbe knows how many innocent mothers and grandparents? How can one even dare to stand where there is no ground by supporting the mother of shame, un-Islamic and un-Soomaali, when the Sanaawi Xabash boasts killing thousands of our youth, barely coming out of their ages, yet the cheerleading squad are the loudest? What would a madaxyare Father of Stooge madaxweyne ku sheeg of dowlad ku sheeg that without a prior knowledge or consultation from Americans [that alone tells qashinka uu yahay, a nobody lagu shaqeysto], from the American's massive airbombing poor gaaljire nomads in forests of Jubbooyinka, and their so-called madaxyare Father of Stooge immediately labelling them "terrorists" -- what would one, again, call those easily qabyaalad-corrupted folks who support men like that old, senile man? Waa yaab. Ifkii ayaa la gadaalgadiye. Gaduudkii ayaa cagaar laga dhigay before our very eyes. Muslimkii ayaa gaal laga dhigay, gaalkii Muslim noqday. Sokeeye ayaa shisheeye laga dhigay, sokeeyihiina shisheeye ah. Gaaljirihii, hooyooyinkii iyo carruurtii ayaa "terrorist" laga dhigay, Xabashkii a historical enemy isku ahayn, terrorist Soomaali public ku ahaa, oo soo duulay, invaded our country, dad iyo dugaagna u dhaafin waxba, laga dhigay widaay sokeeye oo "halgame" ah. Yaab iyo yaabkeeda.

I just knew it. She is paid to monitor Soomaali sites regarding this mafia, Maldives-registered company called Rangers. Yes, that is right, this shady company and others it is affiliated with, is registered in Maldives. That alone tells you something.

Ababaay, Reer Windsor, Ontario, Kanada, did indeed their share. Saas ayaa la rabaa aqiyaarta degan magaaladdaa degnaan jiray. I can even recognize old pals from the pictures. Well done, Reer Windsor. Banaanbaxan ayaa waxa uu ka dhacay Bartamaha magaalada Windsor, Ontario, ee dalka Canada gaar ahaan xafiiska laga xukuma magaalada Windsor ee City Hall maalintii Jimcada oo tariikhdu aheyd January 19, 2007. Banaan baxan oo ay soo qaban qaabiyeen ururka Midowga Jaaliyad Soomaaliyeed ee dalka dibadiisa ku dhaqan United Somali Diaspora. Waxaana taageero u fidiyay banaan baxan kana soo qeybgalay ururada Bulshada ee magaalada Winsdor oo ay ka mid yihiin: Windsor Peace Coalition oo ah urur mar walba u taagan kana soo horjeeda dagaalada lagu qaado dadka iyo dalalka laga awooda badan yahay ee xaq darada ah. That is Maxamed, my old schoolmate, high school isla aadi jirnay back in late '90s. W. D. Lowe, baby. Saas aa lagaa rabaa, macalinka. Keep holding the beautiful flag. This guy deserves an honorary Soomaali citizen. Waa nin ka fiican qashinka Xabashka u kabadhaqaayo. Qashintaas uu dhaamaa boqolkiiba boqol. Soomaaliya ha jirto waligeed, indeed. Max'ed Calicaliyoow [in the middle], well done, duqa. Long time iga dheh. Another non-Soomaali who deserves in laga dhigo Soomaali. More pics _________________ Next banaanbax already waxaa sameeye Reer Vancouver. Nicely done. Stay tuned for the pictures and info.

I didn't read this thread's posts, so pardon me. I can bet on my life, though, one silent lurker will respond: Art. Is she already in, if not art, where art thou? Kamoon awt. Mention this mafia company called Rangers, and art mysteriously re-appears.

Dhuusamareeb, Iskushuban iyo Daacuunsoor.

Ayaandaro. Yaa ogaado Addis Ababa ayaaba already loo qaaday and torturing him has started. Maskiinka Bashiir, Eebbe ha u gargaaro.

In Soomaali politics, it is called looma dhamo. A very familiar misused phrase, that burburiye the last 14 conferences. It is either I-will-have-all-and-nothing mentality. Compromise, wadaagnimo iyo tanaasul ma jiro.

Muqdisho 22, Jan. 07 (Shabeelle) -- Madaxweynaha dowladda KMG ah ee Somalia C/laahi Yuusuf Axmed ayaa ka dhoofay galabta magaalada Muqdisho, isagoo ku sii jeeda magaalada Adis-ababa ee xarunta dalka Ethiopia... [sNIP] Safarka Madaxweynaha Somalia uu ugu kictamay dalka Ethiopia ayaa yimid, ka dib markii maanta xarunta Villa Somali ee Muqdisho kula yeeshay kulan wasiirka Arimaha dibadda ethiopia Sium Musfin oo markii ugu horeysay soo gaaray caasimadda Somalia. Mr. Sium Musfin iyo Madaxweyne Yuusuf ayaa halmar ka wada duulay garoonka diyaaradaha ee magaalada Muqdisho, iyadoo halkaasi ay ku sii dhaweeyeen xubno ka tirsan dowladda Somalia. Shabeelle Siyaaradda to Addis Ababa and the Master there is getting shorter and shorter. Whereas it was once a month, now it seems in every three weeks. Perhaps wuxuu ka dhago adeegay the Mini-master loo soo diray, and now the big Master in Addis Ababa ayuu warkiisa ka maqli doonaa, whose war always be followed or else! Why the siyaaro now, though? The junior worshippers of Sanaawi -- Geedi and Yuusuf -- had a little friction lately, which usually is taken care by the Mini-master Musfin. Remember Baydhabo a couple months ago when Geedi xilka laga qaadi rabay? Mini-master mysteriously landed and suddenly there was an agreement. Before that, it was in Nairobi, where the Mini-master Musfin took care the mastery business about the treachery stooges.

Me, dad ina Waraabe ka daran ayaa maanta joogo. Wixiisa waa hadal, just hadal. Awoodna xataa ma u laha maanta in uu fuliyo hadalkiis. Laakiin kuwii Xabashada keenay waa the worst Soomaali ku sheeg, for I don't think I can call them Soomaali. Inaa kuwaas qashinkooda ku saabsan dabagishid ayaa ka fiicnaan lahayd intaa Waraabahaan iyo wixii lamid ah awooda lahayn hadalkooda dabasocotid.

Aaheey, ninkii soo joog laga waaye, uu yiri Awkoombe, soo jiif aa laga helaa. Ninkii Xabash keenay meeshuu ku dambeyn doono surely won't be jiif.

MMA,do you remember there was one MiG that crushed during one of those Oct.days? Cajalkaan at the end of '80s waaye, particularly if you look at the end of the tapeka, where you can see a large billboard celebrating the 19th anniversary of Kacaanka, which coincides, if I am not mistaken, the Oktoobar of 1989. Those miigga dhacay, saa u maleeyo waxee dhaceen mid '70s, right after wadaaddadii la toogtay. Dad aayaa dhihi jiray ishii wadaaddada ayaa kasoo baxday. It didn't happen in Oktoobar celebration, though; garoonka diyaaradaha ee kasoo kaceen oo Afisiyooni ku yaalay, degmada Waaberi iyagoo kormaraayana isku dhacay, saa maqlay.

Keep reporting, duqa.

There are the direct occupation of Soomaali cities and towns in Soomaaliya by Xabashada. Then there are those satellite, on the spheres of Xabash influence, cities and towns in both Waqooyi Galbeed and Waqooyi Bari, just as Soviet Union had a huge swath of influence in Eastern Europe.

ETHIOPIAN MINISTER ARRIVES MOGADISHU Korekshan, baliis. Xabash Mini-master arrives in Muqdisho in order to take the Father of Stooge to his Higher Master for his monthly Siyaaro in Addis Ababa.
