Waa kaftameysaa, I see, Awkastaroow. Soomaali hadaa nahnay exinct ayaa noqoneynaa intaa Afxabash ku hadli lahayn. Anagoo Afsoomaali ku hadleyno oo heybad leh geeriyoono ayaa dhaanto taas. Laakiin it won't happen. Don't despair in these trying times. PS, I am saddened, though, in uu ina Cumar Geelle ee Jabuuti uu iska aamuso marka la duqeynaayo Soomaaliya by a coward bully. And aawey kuwii leaderhsipka sheeganaaye ee Waqooyi Galbeed? Aawey Siilaanyo? Aawey motormouth iska hadli jiray ee Waraabaha la lahaa? [Oh, then, again markii hore uuba qirtay kaas in wiil ku dhashay Addis Ababa kaga dhawyahay kan Xamar ku dhashay.] At least hadaa awood lahayn waala hadlaa.

"I used to think that the Islamic courts were just another interest group, but now I recognize that they are standing up for the country and religion," said Muse Ali Omar, a banana vendor in Mogadishu. "Ethiopia is my enemy, I will not sell bananas anymore," he said. "I will take my gun and go for jihad. Otherwise I am sure they will kill me in my banana kiosk if I wait for them here." Waxgarad waa kaasaa. Succinctly put, Mudane Muuse Cali Cumaroow.

Ethiopian forces march to Mogadishu? Eebboow yaa Sayidka maqalsiiyo tan. Eebboow halgamiyaashii xaqa u geeriyooday ee dagaalkii Soomaali Galbeed iyagoo Addis Ababa ku sigaayo xataa maqalsiiyo tan. In la qoslo iyo in la amagaago waaba la kala kasi la yahay. Eebboow sahal amuuraha, dad, noo xoolo Xabash ah, baa riyoonaayo ee riyadooda tusi waxee tahay -- a nightmare sugeyso. Xamar waa taasaa ee isgeeyaa, yaa laga shaleyn hadhoow. Nin kuu digay kuma dilin. Awkoombena muxuu yiri? Ninkii soo joog laga waayo, soo jiif aa laga helaa. What did Magool, Eebbe ha u naxariistee, sung? Her beautiful, timeless and unforgetful song summarizes the leadership isku sheega maanta jiro Xabashada soo kaxeeye dadkooda ku laayaan.

Modesty, there are no "leaders," dear. They are virus that needs to be eradicated. The latest ugly actions showed us what they are capable of to achieve anything to stay in non-existent power. To say shamelessness is a compliment. They are dhilqo, sun dhilqo ah u baahan in lagu buufiyo. I am now listening hees ah "heybo waxaad ku leedahay dhulkaaga hooyo." Those virus-based bodies want to sell this dhul the hees is talking about, and ultimately our heybad [sharaf] to highest cadow Soomaalida ever had.

Iisi on caayda, baliis. Xaalka waa xunyahay, oo waan la socdaa, laakiin in la isdhaamo ayaa fiican. -------------------- Originally posted by AAliyah416: Asalaamu Alaykum, Lets be real, if the Islamic courts didn't threat the transitional government in Baidoe then Ethiopians wouldn't have been able to invade Somalia. Unfortunately, the Islamic courts facilitated that by threatning them and giving them certain days to withdraw from Baidoe; naturally they thought that the transitional government wouldn’t get support from Ethiopians just like the Mogadishu warlords. What they forget to differentiate was the fact that the transitional government is established government for Somalia. Do not get me wrong, I am not content with the fact that Ethiopians are invading Somalia, but I am just holding responsible the Islamic courts. Why didn't they just stick to Hamar? They were allowed to conquer Hamar? If they were fighting for peace as I thought they were don’t you think they would have found a way to establish peace and negotiate with the transitional government. Wa Salaaamu Alaykum. Aan iska bilaabo aniga and clarify: Qof aan support gareynin ayaan ahaa wadaada nor dowlad ku sheega burburtay today. I scathingly even criticized degmooyin badan ee qabsadeen u dhaw the now non-existent dowlad ku sheeg's base. That was then. This is, alas, now. A new not-it-ever-occured-to-me-unbelievable reality. Dear, today wax blame la yiraahdo ma jiro. Blame game maanta looma joogo. Waa dhamaatay taas. "I am not content with the fact that [Xabasho] are invading Soomaaliya" dhab ka dhig. Make it more than "not content," make it angry, fury as hell, mad as insane -- mise walwalka Soomaalida haayo kuguma jiro? The very existence of Soomaalinimo ayaa maanta qarka u saaran inay ka baxdo ifka, adigana blame game ayaa wadaa. Hadaa moodid inay Xabashada came to invade and airbomb our cities to help Soomaalida, 16 sano ayee isku direystay, midba hub siineysay. They obviously preferred that status quo. But a movement threatened that reality by uniting a country. They don't care dowlad ku sheegaan ee protectorate ah u wadaan, [which ku burburtay the day Xabasho cowardly airbombed Soomaali town in the eyes of Soomaali community, it is as gone as Xeylesalaase is dead]. They would rather prefer sida aan ahayn the last 16 years of chaos, anarchy iyo endless fratricide. Xabashada, from Xeylesalaase to Sanaawiga maanta kalabka iyo kibirka badan waligood inay Xamar [a symbol of Soomaaliya and anything Soomaali] gacan ku dhigaan ayee sugayeen, read history books, regardless who is against them. Xeylesalaasihii xukumi jiray Amxaarada ayaa yiri Banaadir "will soon be part part of" Xabash land; that was uttered a century ago. He was obviously dreaming, dabanaageysta maanta soo kaxeeye may even make that, Eebbe forbid, reality. But it won't. As long as Soomaali dhiig iyo karti ku jirto noolyihiin Xabash Xamar iyo an access to Soomaali sea ee Soomaaliyeed ma xukumi doonaan. It will not be possible, not acceptable. Anagoo wada dhimano ayaa dhaanto, seeing it anagoo nool. Iska illoow dowlad ku sheegaan burburtay. It is an illegit that will never be able to rule Soomaaliya. Instead of uniting Soomaalida, waa kala tagsiisay, brought in cadowgii Soomaalida ugu weynaa, just short of Ibliis is to humankind, and showed Soomaalida dhabta ah iyo kuwa virus nagu ahaa oo magaca Soomaalida ku qaraaban jiray. They are viruses that needs to be eradicated, if not quarantined, from the face Soomaalinimo. Don't fall for their propaganda iyo qashinkee qoraan.

[Waqti la qoslo ma'aha, but can't resist.]

I thought Soomaalida had anti-aircraft hub: Shilke and Suu. Soomaalida were misusing the last 16 years by firing it horizontally, and when it is needed now, I don't know if it can reach the modern diyaaradaha miigga u kaca. Neither do I think Xabashada have the modern diyaarado either, so the old shilko and suu can reach their planes dating back from '70 and early '80s maadaamee hoos ku socdaan. If you then meant heat-seeking anti-aircraft misiles, I don't think qaaraan kaliya in lagu gadan karo. You need a reliable supplier aan Mareykan ka cabsan if caught or risk. It is also a much more expensive. I think either Liibiya, Masar or Eretareeya provided a few.

Duqa, more than half of them Baydhabo ma joogaan, thus I was especially appealing to those. Around 40 Xamar ayee joogaan, the rest, about 100, dibadaha ayee wareegayaan, especially Neyroobi, kuwii markii horena West ka tagay guryahooda Galbeedka ayee ku noqdeen. I had those in mind. Anyway, dagaalka u aayar. Dadka dhimanaayo waa Soomaali, nabada u duceey. Like before xulufadadihii ka horeeye, no group can push the other in this ugly war. It is reality, an ugly one, but reality nonetheless. Qori caaradiis laguma kala baxo, Soomaali taas ha ogaato, even kuwa Soomaali sheeganaayo hadee Amxaaro wataan waa in laga soo bixiyaa la tusiyaa qaladkooda, not dhamaantood la wada tirtiro, in the process thousands of masaakiin kale waxba galabsan kusii dhamaado iyo qax qaxarkeeda. Soomaali waa isku imaan doontaa, regardless how cowardly Amxaar tries to duqeeyo our towns and cities. It already started, marka geed hoostiis ha laga soo bilaabo qorshaha, no more dibad lagu shiro now. Waaka daalnay dagaal, runtii. Dagaal ma fadaana, especially hadaan nahnay reer dibadjoog.

As a Soomaali citizen, Soomaali dhalulad, dalkiisa jecel, I personally appeal to you, xildhibanoow/eey, to those with damiirnimo iyo Soomaalinimo ku hartay, directly and frankly, as a Soomaali to a Soomaali iyo walaaltinimo. Pull the plug on this dowlad ku sheeg that expired with the unforgetful, ignominious day Amxaaro Xabash ah cowardly started airbombing Soomaali towns. Tender with a mass resignation. Let it lose the little international credibility it has since the legitimacy of this dowlad ku sheeg was lost today even to the casual Soomaali observing of Soomaali politics oo dhexdhexaad ka ahaa, not because of clan, not because of idealogy, not because of against a cult personality -- it is because of very existence of Soomaalinimo, a proven proud people throughout history and a known enemy bullying our hapless hooyooyin, caruur and waayeelo by cowardly attacking from above. When Amxaar Xabash, not satisfied what they have done the last 16 years of endless meddling in our domestic affairs decided for once and all to permanently kill Soomaalinimo before our eyes, permanently injure the psyche of Soomaalinimo by attacking Muqdisho airport. Muqdisho airport isn't more important than Beledweyne or other unfortunate airbombed towns, but it is a symbolic in the eyes of international community carrying the capital label, and will now have a historical precedence that Xabashada, even in the hey days of Soomaali Galbeed war, did not even had the inclination to dare and geesnimo of attacking our magaalo madax. For that, and since this dowlad ku sheeg already lost any sane Soomaali support, I personally and passionately again appeal to those with conscience and a drop of Soomaalinimo ku hartay inay dhamaantood iska casilaan xilka ay u hayaan dowladaan and let the caalamka see it no longer has any relevancy. I believe, you, xildhibaaneey with damiirka ku hartay, are at least half, if not more, of xildhibaanada. I also appeal to those qabyaaladnimo, laaluushnimo ama jaganimo u joogo as a xildhibaan that dowladaan burburtay won't get back from xabaalaha lagu duugay. It is gone like yesterday. Save your last credibility aad Soomaalida u tihiin. I appeal the likes of [and many that I don't know their names]: Shariif Xasan Sh. Aaden Caasho Axmed Cabdalle Caasho Xaaji Cilmi Fowsiyo Max'ed Sheekh Maxamuud Cabdillaahi Sifir Maxamed Cabdi Yuusuf Cabdi Cabdulle Jiniboqor Saleebaan Colaad Rooble Cali Baashi Rooraaye Jaamac Cali Jaamac C/laahi Aadan Axmed Balaak Yuusuf Xasan Dheeg Hilowle Iimaam Cumar Cabdalla Xaaji Axmed Shariif Saalax Maxamed Cali Cumar Xaashi Aaden Cali Baashi Maxamuud Sakariye Maxamuud Xaaji Xuseen Baantuu Cawil Axmed Casharo Ibraahim Isaaaq Caymooy Baliis, pull the rug from under on this dowlad ku sheeg

Biibol, biibol, dadkaan are humans too, ee marka do not gloat over and disrespect, cadow ee kuu yihiin or not. Not all are "Amxaaro," some obviously are wearing dhar aan ahayn kan ciidamada Amxaarada oo dark green ah, so they are Soomaalida u dagaalameysay dowlada, ee marka hala ixtiraamo meydadka, even hadee yihiin Amxaaro, waa biniaaden. Some images are shocking and disturbing oo wax la fiirin karo ma'aha, nin in gacmaha laga xiro [obviously a prisoner of war] and la gowraco is disgusting and out of anybody biniaadenimo ku hartay. Diinta kuwa sheeganaayo inay u dagaalamayaan waa inay bartaan diinta ay sheegtaan first. Prisoners of war shouldn't be dad la gowraco and mutilated, xataa iyaga hadee ku gowracaan. Waa in la isdhaamaa, la kala roonaadaa, especially from kan Muslimka ah. Hate and hatred sometimes dadka biniaadenimada uu ka tagsiiyaa ee ye idinla tagin, waa talo.

It is the first time ever, as far as I can remember three years of following Google News, that Soomaali news makes not only the first page of Google News [it made a minor one before at the bottom], but today it is the very first story on the top, whether the UK version or US version. UK version. US version. More sadder caalamka is noticing the grave situation the country is in than so-called Soomaali isku sheeg that are still downplaying waxa soo socdo with clan mentality.

Caytin uma qalmo ninkaan Soomaaliga ah Xabash la baxay.

Qofkaan threadkaan bilaabay, waxaan moodnay iyo waxee/wuxuu noqotay/noqday. We thought s/he was a keen, sincere seeker of Soomaali language, but alas, s/he isn't, oo ciyaarnimo ayee la timid meesha. We will remind you again, soo baro Afsoomaaliga and then come back, to have a decent dood. But I will give you a benefit of doubt, once again, going after your words. fargeto-fork-italian shukoman-towel-italian roti-bread-african nd carribean krio sitiman-month-italian sharmouto-the "b" word-lebanese kibir-selfish-lebanese kourbeto-blanket-italian Let's start from the last. Kubeerto is, rightly, a Talyaani word used some reer Koonfureed. The correct Soomaali word that doesn't obviously exist in your Soomaali language is buste. Kibir in Afsoomaali is islaweyni ama santaag ama even jees. Sharmuuuto: Dhillo [You are now forcing us to explain dirty words on a family site, yac.] Sitimaan: Toddobaad. [And don't even try to to bring usbuuc of Carabi.] Fargeeto: falqaado ama macalgo. The words, though qaado is a bit different, are referred for spoon as well. [PS, the word fork itself in English is Laatiin in origin, either from the Talyaani or Faransiis words of forchetta or fourchette, respectively, which proves again English itself is culprit once more when it comes borrowing carelessly.] Rooti: Soomaali word is furin. However, as we previously mentioned words like gaari rooti, is nothing new. Reer Hindiya might borrowed from us, who knows, since they have plenty of Carab words in their midst, why not a word from us. Shukumaan: Qalajiye. Southerners may use "shukumaan" and the Northerners "tuweel." The correct word, though rarely used, is qalajiye. Rooti, as we previously mentioned like gaari, is nothing new. Reer Hindiya might have borrowed from us, who knows, since they have plenty of Carab words in their midst, why not a word from us. -------------- Me, ninkaan magaca ardeyga wato was a former member of here, and I don't know why uu magaciis hore u retire gareeye and few months later registered with this ardey name. He is a Carab Xamar ku dhashay that likes to downplay anything Soomaali eh or divides the unity of Soomaalida, oo maanta uguma horeyso. Waa ninkii yiri koofibarawaani Soomaali ma'aha. Hadana yiri dirac Soomaali ma'aha. Hadana yiri hoosgundi [macawiis] Soomaali ma'aha. Maantana muxuu keenay? Afmaay Soomaali ma'aha, xataa dadkii ku hadlaaye uu la doodayaa. Anigii u dhashay, oo guri Afmaay loogu hadlo kusoo koray ayuu na leeyahay afkaaga aan kaa badiyaa, asagoo qirtay xataa in uu ku hadlin. Waa yaab iyo nuskeeda. Let's see the first paragraph of the little article uu keenay that is supposedly in Afmaay. One thing aan horta dhaho: If a language is written in any other foreign formula, the said language becomes obscure and misunderstandable to the natives of the language. If Ingiriis is written in Afsoomaali -- like 'baliis, kamoon, biibol' -- the natives of Afingiriis may not decipher it. So, let's see the first sentence of the said Afmaay paragraph, which was supposedly written not a universal writing system of Afmaay. Farty Afky Maayky may liing etheegsythey Alifky Roomangky, yeetho haruufo bersho liing doorythi weerdhingty Afky Maayky ing gaarky e. Alifky Afky Maayky may leyaa lapaatung i afar shibly 24, shang 5 shaghal oo aasa'aas e, i hal 1 shaghal ing yaal. That is Afmaay. Yes, it is. But it is written a non-recognizable form to confuse people. Let's put in a plain standard Soomaali. "Farti afki Maaygi mey liin edegsadi alifki Roomaanki, yeedoo haruufo bershoo liin dooridi weerdhigti afki Maaygi in gaarki eh. Alifki afki Maaygi mey leeya labaatun ii afar shibli [24], shan [5] shagal oo aas'aas eh, ii hal [1] shagal in yaal." Now tell me which maryooleey doesn't understand the above sentence, even a cursory glance. Let's put in Afmaxaatiri now and see how they differentiate, some of confusing Maay words now in brackets. "Fartaan afka Maayga waxaa [mey] loo [liin] adeegsaday alifka Roomaanka, iyadoo [yeedoo] xaruufaha barkood [bershee] loo doortay [dooridi] weerdhigta [weerdhigti] afka Maayga u gaarka ah. Alifka afka Maayga wuxuu leeyahay [leeyaa] labaatan iyo [ii] afar shibil [24, shan [5] shaqal oo aas'aas ah, iyo hal [1] shaqal u [in] yaalo. Now, it is obvious most words in Afmaay and Afmaxaatiri share same roots, same basic structure, which makes dialects be a language. Dadka qaarkood waa iska muran jecelyihiin, markee dooda muran isku badasho, waa laga baxaa meesha, otherwise qofka asagaa daalaayo.

Maanta maalin iga murugo badneed ma isoo marin intee dagaallada baas ee soo noqnoqdo sokeeye socdeen. As painful as Soomaalis killing one another the past 16 years and counting seemed, I never felt this agony, nightmarish and murugo caloolxanuun ka buuxdo. I simply couldn't sleep xaleey markaa live ka aqriye Xabasho airbombing Soomaali towns. Walaahi, I couldn't, oo saa isku gadgadinaaye kusoo kacay. No single person a drop of Soomaalinimo and sanity ku hartay can stomach waxee Xabashada sameyeen this day. This day, simply put, will forever remain in my psyche. This day, 24/12/'06 [12/24 for reer North America], is a gloomy, dark day in Soomaali history and psyche. It is also just two days before the 16th anniversary the first bullet ka bilowday, and thus the first bullet I ever heard, in Xamar 26/12/1990. And what did one of the the so-called leaders say this distressing day? Believe or not: "Cali Max'ed Geedi, the Somali prime minister, has vowed that his government will 'defend the people it is responsible for and Somali sovereignty" and said the Islamic fighters should return to negotiations.'" How can any that claims to represent his people can utter such a shocking words in the same day his people are airbombed by another nation; and what "sovereignty" is he talking about? This is also the day the last faint of hope and benefit of doubt I had for Cabdillaahi Yuusuf Axmed as a man of leadership was forever extinguished. Gone. Forever. I hope he, Cabdillaahi Yuusuf, too realizes his 30-year dream of power and kursidoonimo, oo buur iyo godba u koray, u galay, of leading Soomaali people is forever gone with this day, shut its gate on this day of infamy. Farewell Cabdillaahi Yuusuf, and say goodbye to your dream of ever leading Soomaali people. And good luck on your retirement, that is if you still have left an iota of Soomaalinimo and last personal xishood for yourself.

Cunigaan inaad la doodiin maba istaahilo, runtii. Maalintaa ka quursaday waa maalintuu an occupying warlord dhul iyo deeggaan kale xaaraan ku noolaa ugu wacay, what, "god-like" iyo "respected and honoured." Haduu dagaaloogahaan galo naar, ninkaan naar ayuu la galaa. Haduu Amxaaro daba ku wato iska dhaafee, uu Yahuud keeno bari, ninkaan waa u sacabtumaa. Haduu Ibliis himself uu soo kaxeyso that defeated warlord, ninkana Ibliis uu la safan yahay. Maantana in uu ku qoslo Soomaali diyaarado lagu rusheenaayo, waa gartiis, for he is thinking Amxaarada/Tigreyda ayaa nightmareka uu the last three months ku jiray ka saari doonto that they will as well airbomb Kismaayo's residents, a city uu ku riyoonaayo uu xaaraanteeda macaan ka samri la' yahay in loo qabto mar labaad [maadaama shaley u qabteen former junior warlords Goobaale iyo Seeraar], illeen xaaraan qof ku quudsaday si sahal ma ugu haree until uu damiirka qofka tooso. Qof damiirkiis ma toosnaan karo, however, because it is blinded by hatred qabyaalad qurunkeeda ka buuxo, oo la caabudo. Principles iyo wax kale haka sugina.

Nightmarekii ku dhacay ayuu moodaa inay Axmaaro/Tigrey ka saareyso. Nightmare qalbi daacad baa dadka ka saaro, not xaaraanimo iyo virus qabyaalad faaftay, that inevitably killed one's conscience and mind. Waa nin ku riyoonaayo in that wretched defeated warlord Soomaali laga qabtay inay Xabasho soo celin doonto. Marka ma istaahilo nin saan u hadlaayo jawaab quman.

Soomaali is a real language. Nothing that is stolen. All languages borrow one word from another. Ingiriis is the most culprit when it comes to this. It is basically Laatiin [Faransiis, Talyaani, Isbaanish and Burtuqiis], Afjarmal, Scandinavian and Gareek. Then there are a considerable Carabi and Persian within it. So it is basically af la isku kabkabay, since very few of its original Anglo-Saxon words remain in use today. Aniga [ani] waa as Soomaali as adiga [adi]. A lot of words we share with the distant relative of our language, which is Cushitic, to Semetic. Tell me, which side borrowed from which since 'anaa' and 'ani' of Carabi and Hebrew are the same? Or Abaa/abuu of Hebrew and Carabi? They share tens of thousands of words, yet no person accuses each language 'stealing' other's one since they say they are "cousins." By the way, if you are familiar with our language, you would notice the there are a lot of original, authentic Soomaali words that paved the way to shisheeye words. The word 'shisheeye' itself is such an example. Many people unconsciously use "ajnabi," instead of shisheeye. Af is another threatened one, by luuqad. Another one is nabad for salaan. "Waa la idin salaamay" and "ma nabad baa" have the same quintessential meaning, but many people don't realize that. Many Soomaali words were lost because of this carelessness. We probably had a word for "kursi," but lost [perhaps it was fadhi]. Its closest remaining today is wambar/gambar. And about baraf, it is just a coincidence we share some words with Hindiyan subcontinent. Who knows baraf, gaari, etc, they perhaps borrowed from us. Why it is always the us being the borrowers. So, the problem is you, not Afsoomaali. Baro afkaaga.

Dadkiina ninkaan Amxaarka/Tigreyga isku sheega ah la hadlaayo oo u jawaabaayo ayaan la yaabaa.

Amxaareey/Tigreyoow, soo joog waa lagaa waayee soo jiif yaa lagaa helin markee Addis Ababa qaraxdo.

But I want to return to the core of the question I posed: What about the hundreds of thousands who live in the triangle of Buur Hakaba- Qansaxdheere and Dooy? Reer Arlaadi iyagaa meesha isdhigay. I remember waaguu Axmed Cumar Jees soo galaaye Baydhabo oo aan ku sugnaa magaaladas, just after couple of days after the new year's day in '91. Kacaanka regime was still in Xamar and fighting for its survival. Muxuu keenay Axmed Cumar Jees? Ka ahayn in uu geelahooda iyo xoolahooda ka dhaco? They kicked him out within a week. Five years later, Caydiid Sr. came, under the pretext of hay'adaha meesha ka shaqeeyo ayaa ciyaalka gaalsiiyo, the unfortunate being he was led by none other than a reer Arlaadi calooshiis u shaqeysto by the name of Max'ed Caliyoow. The real reason he came was because reer Arlaadi aayahooda u istaageen, declaring the second "autonomous" region after Waqooyi Galbeed, the interim "president" being C/qaadir Soobe. Caydiid didn't want to see that. Caydiid's xulafadiis -- this time led by his son -- were kicked four years later, in Juun of '99, which his xulufo and power base never recovered from to this day. Reer Arlaadi should blame none but themselves. Soomaalida maanta socoto walaaloow iyo Soomaalinimo shaleey la isku ogaa ma gartaan, qori caaradiis ayee yaqanaan. Kii wadaadka isku sheegay, kii Amxaarka dabada ka wato iyo kii kale dan lehba maanta waxee usoo wada jeedaan danta "tolkooda," tii dalka iyo dadka guud la iska ilooway. Run hadii la isku sheego waa saas. Hadee Indhamadoowe run ka tahay Soomaalinimo iyo Islaanimo, Afgooye u dhaw inaadeerkiis ku amartaagleeyo, Daafeed saas camal ku amartaagleeyaan oo dhanka Buurhakabo jirto ayee ka bilaabi lahayeen, iskaba dhaaf dhanka kale ee Jubbooyinka la aadin, sida Awdheegle, Qoryooleey, Sablaale, Janaale, Marka iyo Baraawe. Reer Arlaadi nin mas eh marti ka dhigtay. Cabdillaahi Yuusuf may or may not remember tii ku dhacday Caydiid iyo Cumar Jees, waliba ha ogaado Caydiid ka awood badnaa, Eebbaa awood lahee, boqolkiiba boqol, tii ku dhacday kuwaas in uu ku waano qaato ayee ahayd. Reer Arlaadi are very patient, welcoming people, regardless of qabiil iyo wuxuu qofka yahay. Quudato kunool ma'aha, oo masuqmaasuq kunool ma'aha, dowlad laaluushkeeda dad wax ka sugo ma'aha, oo xoolahooda ayee soo saartaan, beerahooda ayee fashaan iyo geelooda, arigooda iyo lo'dooda ayee raacdaan. Dadna kuma duulaan, dhul iyo deeggaan kale ma qabsadaan, xaaraan waa iska yareyaan oo bililiqo iyo maal dad kale kuma noola. Reero dagaalna ma'aha, power struggle iyo xukundoon kor iyo hoos -- mid Amxaar keensaday, midna diin ku gambanaayo -- loo koraayana ma'aha, dalkooda ma burburin, dad Soomaaliyeedna aan kusoo duulin ma laayin. Because of this, reer Arlaadi can live any region in Soomaaliya without dad qabiilkooda weydiinin because sharafta iyo qadarinta ay Soomaalinimada u hayaan. All that, however, has some limits. Markee imaato amartaagleen iyo cagajugleen waa yaqanaan xataa inay ku dagaalamaan falaartooda ha ugu yaraatee. Haduu isku haleynaayo Xabashida, C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed wuu arki doonaa meeshee geyso, waxaana ula talinaa when that day arrives yuu kabtiisa ka cararin. Nin dhoof ku yimid bee geerida ku xanuun badantahay ayaa la yiri. Asaga iyo dowlad ku sheegiis qabyaalada ilma adeer ku dhisan ayaa martinimadii ku jisaaray, asagaa ka dheefi doono wuxuu arko. Reer Arlaadi may blame none but themselves, but they will not be like bystanders oo dhulkooda lagu hardamo forever. No way. Impossible. Hadee Soomaalinimadii iyo walaaltinimadii isku soo dhaweyska iyo martisoorka ay dadka qabyaalada ka buuxdo, caabudo qalad ka fahmeen and dan ay dantooda ku fashaan noqotay, not for the common Soomaali good, but dan tolkooda iyo laftooda eh, then Soomaalinada burburkeeda ha laga dheefo waxee noqoto, for reer Arlaadi wouldn't be disappointed oo dhulka qeyraadka soo saaro dhulkooda waaye. Hala arko meelee Soomaalinimo ku dambeyso. Runta maalintii la isku sheegi lahaa waaye today.

Tiyeglow is larger in area and has more population than Moode-moode, Daynuunaay, and Idaale- and its capture is a significant achievement because (If you know the geography of Bakool) you control the route to Wajid, Xudur and Luq Ganaane. Aad ayaan ugu xumahay inaad dadkaas deeggaanka degan aad dagaal sokeeye ula rabtid. Reer Bakool -- like the whole people of Jubbadasare: Baay, Shabeelladahoose, Gedo iyo Jubbadadhexe -- midna lama jirin labada xulufu ku hardamaayo meesha. Ciidamo Amxaar/Tigrey ma joogaan meesha, and there is a reason why they preferred inay kasoo talabaan Dooloow, via Luuqa, than Ceerlbarde, via Xudur. There was no "capture" to speak of also, since deeggaankaas dantiis dadka deeggaanka lahaa, now it is all changed. There was no war nor resistence, marka wax "capture" la yiraahdo ma jiro. Now Amxaaradii Xabashka ahaa qaabka darnaa ayaa Ceelbarde kasoo tilaabsanaayo, yaa, now, ka masuul ah rafaadka ka dhici doono meeshaas? Those wadaada ku sheega's militia is led by ninka loogu yeero Ceyroow oo kasoo talaabsaday Hiiraan. He is based in Galgaduud. He wanted to get to Tiyeegloow for a long time, at least the last three weeks laakiin dadka deeggaanka runta u sheegay: Don't come to us and open another troublesome front. If they wanted to fight, dowlada ku sheega Baydhabo ayee fadhisaa iyo Amxaaradeeda ka riixeyso, maxaa ku sababay inay tagaan Bakool. Afar aag ayee ka fadhiyaan Baydhabo, sadexna dagaal ka socdo hada Iidaale, Diinsoor iyo Moodmoode, tan afaraad aan dagaal ka socon being between Qansaxdheere and Baardheere. Qaxarka meeshaas ka socdo miyaa ku filnaan weysay markee another fronts ka furayaan Bakool. Amxaarada Xabashta ah is easier for them to fight in Bakool than in Baay. Most of us rightly condemn whoever Amxaaro/Tigrey dabada ka wato, that we even question their Soomaalinimo, but blunder after blunder from this wadaada ku sheega who know nothing but war, war, war ayaa marmar la yaabaa.

Macalinka, it isn't about dadka sawirka soo saaray, it is just against the rules meyd Soomaaliyeed sawiradiis si baqti camal loo soo bandhigo, ee marka adigoo raali ah ha keenin meeshaan. It was never allowed, not today or yesterday, for it was deleted before. Link hadaa rabtid, laakiin ha keenin inta the pictures themselves. It is demeaning to meydka, regardless which ugly side he fought for. Hal meydna ma aadan keenin, shan jeer ayaa ku celcelisay as though qof ku faraxsan in uu arko meydadkaas. Ogow walaalahaa waaye, regardless whether Associated Press, Reuters ama AFP soo daabacaan. Sawir qof dhintay wax weyn ma'aha, but sawir qof dagaal ku geeriyooday sidii baqti camal loo soo bandhigay asagoo qaawan is wax weyn. Let's just respect meydadka, Garaadoow.

Originally posted by Jimcaale: Could not have imagined in my entire life filthy Eitho happily kiling Somali in the pretext of acting on behalf of Somali government. What a shameful dark day for Somalia. Walee bilaashaa Carab loo ceynayey. Taas waxaa ka daran dibadjoogii u gurbaan tumaayo Amxaar/Tigrey, oo afleeris iyo ilkacadeys, dhoolacadeys [tan camal] inta ku haayo iyo magaaladaanba. Come to Koronto, dadka qaarkood waxee leeyihiin ayaaba kasii daran walaahi bilaahi. Habro ayaa leh "afarta gardheere" laba bari ayaa lagu soo qabanaa because of qabyaaladnimo. I am no friend of surwaalgaab, but Axmaar/Tigrey ifka idinkiis inaan u sacabtumi karin, wadnaheyga ma quuro to prefer them instead of my walaal Soomaaliyeed si walba hala isku qilaafee wax maankeyga kusoo dhici karo ma'aha. Boqolkiiba boqol Carab ayaa na dhaamo, iyaga 220 milyan waaye, oo 20 dal ku jiro, anaga hadaa isku badano Gaarisa ilaa Jabuuti, gees ka gees, ma gaarno 20 milyan, intaasna dhibaatadaan qabyaalad caabudid ayaa na heysato. Axmed Gurey, Sayidka, Aabiyaashii Gobondoonka ee SYL, Xalane, Xaawo Taako iyo boqolaalkii kun u halgamay dalkeena the two wars in '60s iyo '70s hadee maanta joogi lahayeen waxee dhihi lahayeen ma'ogi; ma waxaa ku dhihi lahayn they fought and shed their blood in vain, that in next generations Xabasho inaan iskugu wacano oo na gumeysato? Yaab iyo nuskeeda. Yaaboow adaa leh. Ninkii riyoonaayo ama naagtii riyooneyso oo isleh Sanaawi ayaa dan kaleh Soomaalida, oo meel kuu qabanaayo dantaada, haku waano qaato Soomaali Galbeed. Ninkii isleh Sanaawi ayaa dhul Soomaaliyeed kuu qabanaayo, then will give you back, haku waano qaato Soomaali Galbeed. Naagtii isleh Sanaawi ayaa Soomaali interest kuu haayo, haku waano qaato Soomaali Galbeed. Sanaawi, Xeylesalaase iyo Mingiste waxba isma wada dhaamaan -- dameero iyo dhagooda Soomaali naceyb isku keentay.

Habayaratee wax loo dulqaadan karo ma'aha meyd Soomaaliyeed oo dagaalladaan qaabka daran ku geeriyooday inaad meeshaan kusoo dhajisiin. Ixtiraama meydka Soomaaliyeed Muslimka oo walaalkaa ah. You can link, however any displayed pictures of meyd Soomaaliyeed that dies fighting in this unfortunate fratricide war will be deleted immediately. No exceptions.

Ninkaan la baxay Garaad, garaadnimo iyo wax kale ee kaa tahay ma'ogi, laakiin aad iyo aad ayaan ugu xumahay inaad meyd Soomaaliyeed keentid golahaan, oo Amxaarka/Tigreey isku sheega inta ku jiro kugu sacabtumo, afkiis ku leerinaayo faraxsanaan daradeed, kuwii kalena Soomaali isku sheegaaye iyagoo minankooda Galbeedka ku daacsanaayo ugu wacaan "baqti." Waa unfortunate iyo wax ka xun Qof meyd Soomaaliyeed sawirkiis meeshaan waa ka mamnuuc, qoloduu doono ha u dagaalamee qofka. Inaad kusoo celcelisid sawiradaas maanta dhan waa ayaandaro kasii foolxun taas. Eebbahaaga iyo Rabigaaga ka baq, ixtiraan meydka Soomaaliyeed oo Muslimka ah.

No, you can't rent a muxaram. Sacuudis aren't foolish no more. My brother-in-law asaga ayaa dadka u wado xajka every year, and each year it is getting harder and harder, especially each group vying to fill the limited quota of 3,000 citizens from Kanada loo ogolyahay, which is almost out of 900,000 Muslims. So each year, it starts earlier to register, up to three months before xajka begins. You need sponsors, hosts, licences, proof of hotel reservations, etc, from Sacuudiya. You need to have all your clients travel tickets and copies of deposited cheques at hand a month or so before xaj starts in order to have a chance to be looked your file at their embassy in Ottawa. You also need to 'prove' your clients are who they say they are in order to vet who is really muxaram, that doesn't have a muxaram, etc. It is tough to prove a husband and wife, when the marriage isn't officially registered or they married years ago in another country, which they demand you need to go to a local masaajid to get an "official" letter from it confirming your marraige, which they doublecheck. Or some brothers and sisters do not have same last name, say one registered her middle name as last and the other the last, which causes another problem. Sometimes with this strict ristrictions it seems maba rabaan dad xajka aado because dadkii ayaa ku batay, and it is growing problem for the Kingdom.
