Anigana magac Soomaali asali ayaan sugaaye kaliya, meeshaana kuwa Carabi ayaaba ka buuxo, sida Abshiro, Amaan, Axado, Culimo, iyo Iimaan. Teeda kalena magacii ugu weynaa oo ugu caansanaa gabdhaha ee ka tageen: Ayaan.

It is an open secret that powerful people in Puntland, including some with links to top politicians, own many of the boats engaged in the trafficking, but they do not seem to be pursued by the authorities. Waxaan aaminsanaan jiray qofkii baddaas qariban isku biimeynaayo isla qofkaas asagee jirtaa, oo damiirkiis iyo qorshihiis yahiin wuxuu damcay oo go'aan ku gaaray. Laakiin hadeeba dadka maamulka sheeganaayo saas u dhaqmaayaan, damiirnimadii, Islaanimadii iyo Soomaalinamdii ka tageen, waa wax laga naxo. Ciyaal Soomaali ah bad lagu tuuraayo, hadana dadka maamulka sheegaanaayo heeree iska indhatiraan iska dhaafee xataa la og oo daqliga kasoo galo bas la qeybsigiis daneeyo. Naxariis la'aan heerkaas ee gaartay xataa warbaahintii ugu afka dheeraa caalamka, sida Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Independent, iyo New York Times wariyo u diraan meel geeska adduunkiis ah, kasoo warbixiyaan masiibadaan, kuwii warbaahin isku sheega ahaana meeshaas deganaa iska indhatiraan, then dadkaas maamul isku sheega ah iyo warbaahinta ee kontoralaan wax ee maamul hayaan ayaa iska yar ka ahayn masuqmaasuqnimo iyo xuquuqal insaanka ku tumasho. Hadeeba aaminsan yihiin dadkaan badda lagu daadinaayo koonfur ayee ka imaadeen, so shuqulkeena ma'aha. Waala arki doonaa meelee ku gaaraan waxaas. Another danger lingers along the Somali coast. The police, though largely ineffectual in stopping the smuggling, sometimes arrest the migrants, though the legal basis for doing so remains unclear. On a recent day, the police chief, Col. Muhammad Rashid Jama, paraded three men and one woman onto the grounds of the police station. All confessed that they had tried to get to Yemen. One man, Abdi Ahmed Muhammad, 28, had a bandage on the side of his head, where he said a smuggler had bashed him with a rifle butt. The smuggler had taken his money but then refused to allow him onto the departing boat, he said. The woman, Amal Hussein Ali, 37, said she had left seven children in Mogadishu as she went in search of a job in Yemen to support them. A widow, she faced up to three years in jail, the police said. "Anyone who has a heart will feel pity for her," Colonel Jama said. "I'm like that. But she became a criminal, and I am a Puntland officer safeguarding the Constitution." Constitution, my #$%&. Masaakiinta iska xirxirta, kuwa dadka badda ku shubana isla magaaladii iyagoo xoriyad ah ha iska socdaan, lacagtooda xaaraanta ahna daarad haku dhistaan, masaakiintana hala qab qabto. Haa, saas axdiga ayaa dhigaayo.

Salaan... Tuujka, abaaba, aroos la isku marti qaadin inay dhamaaneyso Soomaalida dhaqankooda haka sugin, hana ka walwalin. Wax xuna ma'aha, bariiska intuu baari lahaa oo hadhoow la daadiyo in kistoo ajir laga helaa fiican. Last Victoria weekend ayaa ugu dambeysay arooskoo inta ka dhacay, oo qada ahaa. Hall yar oo Lawrence iyo Jane ku yaalo ayee ku qabteen, abkeey reer Koronto dhan aw jaamac ahaa iska soo xaadiriye, boqolkiiba toddobaatan waa ku dhaaran karaa wax loo wacay ma ahayn, anigana kamid ahaa oo ii wacay in the last minute mid la casuumay. Waana iska caadi, wax qaday ma jirin. Teeda kale aroos la isku marti qaadin oo la iska xaadariyo waligeed ee jirtay oo dhaqan Soomaali ahayd. Xamar ayaan ku xasuustaa xaafadeena guri ku yaalo aroos lagu qabtay. Badanaa aroosyada guryaha lagu qaban jiray waardiye ayaa la dhigi jiray irida intuu arooska ka dhamaanaayo oo ciyaalka soo galaayo ka reebi jiray. Marka arooskaas ciyaalkii xaafada oo teenage kuwa kamid ahaa ayaa damcay inay tagaan habeenkii. Kii irida taagnaa aa u diiday, shaqo yeesha aa lagu dhahay. Ciyaalkaasna waxaa kamid ahaa mid la dhaho Niinoow, oo dhameeye rabsho iyo dhib iyo waxii lamid ah. Sheekada markee saas mareyso oo loo diiday, uu shooriye ciyaalkii. Go'aan markaas waxaa lagu gaaray qof walba canbuuladii uu xaleey cunay si fiican u shiidmatay inuu si fiican iskaga soo bixiyo, yacni xaar ahaan. Intee hal bac weyn isku wada dareen waxooda dhan, oo dulduleyliyeen, markaas darbiga ka tuureen. Bacdii waxee ku dhacday meeshee arooska iyo aroosada fadhiyeen. Yaq! Qasaaro, ur, wasaq iyo nijaas isku wada darsantay.

Salaan... Perhaps, it was a recipe of an event for disaster. The groom -- aged no more than 20, but resembling a baby-faced 16-year-old fella. The bride -- a late teenager. The guests -- both invited and the uninvited, mostly youths in their totally inappropriate ragtag informal dressing, including, according to fellow attendees, several gang-like or wanna-be acting toughie types. Alas, the happy xaflad ended before it started. For what is still incomprehensible to this day -- the aroos took place a month or so ago here in this wonderful city of Koronto -- the toughie wanna-bes broke into two groups, ensuing an unexpected flare-up, finally rampaging the rented space, fighting, punches flying, throwing chairs or any other object they could grab in the very hall where the guests were supposed to dance and the expected singer should have faced. An astonished bridegroom with his equally dumbfounded bride, who only arrived a few moments before, were protectively escorted away from the flying punches and other undesirable objects flying around. Thousands of dollars wasted; ashamed, bewildered official invited guests, including old ladies with all their best Jabbuuti dirac and Dubai dahab in tow, some of them receiving minor injuries, according to one attendee, vowing never to present themselves a mixed Soomaali wedding again -- ever. However, inevitable questions obviously arise. What exactly went wrong? Will the future aroosyo, as ruwaayado organizers do now, have paid police presence and protection? Had really aroos finally lost its innocent appeal? Did it lose its sacredness as well? Will this indeed be the beginning of an end of uninvited guests attending aroos? I truly feel soori for both the aroosada iyo arooska and their families for their ruined aroos. A true sadness and madness of qurbo-bred youths, breaking the last straw of sacredness and respect that our culture demands attending an aroos. Aroos la qash-qashaado miyaa sheekada la keenay? Give me a friggin' break. And shame really on them, the hecklers.

That is both a unique and beautiful name, isn't it? Yes, it is a real name. It belonged to a victim of today's latest incomprehensible Muqdisho war. He was shot by a deliberate sniper -- he was opening a window, on a second floor of a two-story house. [Perhaps he needed a fresh air, perhaps it was his curiosity that got him to see who was fighting whom since the intense fighting literally was taking place right on their front gate.] Somehow, the sniper didn't even allow him to open the window fully. He was immediately head-shot after opening one window. My sister's house -- as is my grandmother's and aunt's houses, who all happen to live in three triangle homes across from one another -- was located at xaafada Taleex, facing the long Carwada wall, just on the right block of former warshada kookada. [Those who know well xaafada Taleex ayaa si fiican u garanaayo waxaan ka hadlaayo.] The victim, Xukun, who was a young man attending Muqdisho University, preparing his final exams, waxaa korsaday walaasheey since 1988, since his boyhood. He was a nephew of her husband; he also was both rajo and agoon, since both of his waalid geeriyoodeen dagaaladda sokeeye kahor. From a dhibloow boy to an upright young man. I vividly remember him -- when I went to Xamar in 2003, I couldn't believe he was the same Xukun at all, quite completely becoming a genuine, respected man. Perhaps he could've been saved, perhaps tiisa ayaa soo gishay finally, laakiin dhiigbax ayuu u dhintay. Waxa iga yaabiye to ilaa daqiiqadaan is the sniper deliberately and intentionally targeted him, [and it could have been any person, a boy, a girl, a woman, anyone who've opened that fateful window] for there was no enemy fire whatsoever from that side. Waxa kale iga yaabiye isbitaalka Madiina markii la geeye, by a nephew of mine and another person, hoobiye and other hub kale kas loo soo gamaayo ayaa kusoo dhacaaye agagaarka isbitaalka. Xaasidnimo heerkaas ayee gaareen dadkaan dagaalamaayo oo xataa dadkii hubkooda ku dhaawacmay isbitaalka ugu fakan la'. Isbitaalkii danta guud ee kaliya shaqeynaaye ayaa hoobiye lala dhacaaye the whole day. Gabalka ayaa ugu dhacay my nephew and yarkii kale qaaday marxuumka because qofkii isbitaalka kasoo dhaqaaqo sniper meel ee joogaan aadan ogeyn ayaa shiishaayo. Hadii isbitaalkiina lagu jiro hoobiyo ayaa korkooda ama geeskooda ku dhacooyo. Dadkii markaas ayee isku daba yaaceen, waxee sameyaan garan waayeen, argagax. Qoraxda ayaa saas ugu dhacday. Dhaqaatiirtii awalba iska yaraa see ku yimaadaan ayee waayeen. Dadkana ma qaxi karaan, because jidadkii Xamar ka bixi jiray dhan dhamaantood dagaal ama waa wada xiran yihiin. Jidka Afgooye aado ayaa ugu caansan kaasna inta la gaarin Lambar Afar in la maro waaye ama dhanka Digfeer, meelahaas oo dagaal ka wada socday. Dhexdiina jidgooyo weyn ayaa taalo, aaga Lafoole. Same with northern exit, oo another dagaal ayaa ka socdo meesha Balcad iyo Jowhar laga aadaaye. Jidka Dayniile asagana waa xiran yahay oo dhufeys la iskugu jiraa, kii Jasiira asagana saas camal. Intee ka baxaa meel alle ayaan maqli jiray, rayidkii ayaa sidii xoolaha camal loogu ciyaaroyaa inta dhexda la gishtay. Dadkaan awood raadiska ah yee xukumi doonaan hadeeba dadkii dhan wada tirtiraan. Xukun iyo intii kale waxba galabsan dagaaladaan iska soo dabanoqonaayo ku geeriyooday Eebbe ha u naxariisto dhamaantood. Xaqdarada maanta socoto maalin ayaa la isla xisaabtami doonaa, maalintee ahaataba.

Through him, some kids as young as five or six in Koronto unconsciously recite Careys Ciise's [Eebbe ha u naxariistee] saars. This niece of mine surprised me one day when I caught her singing in a not-so-conscious Careys Ciise's style of chanting: Wataa...hadii kale waxaan lahaa...aaheey. Shimaali did before him by bringing forth Carey's Ciise's style when he incorporated one of his songs in that that Kalifoorniyaa tagee album. To many of us, it forced us to realize how wonderful the contribution Careys Ciise made to our culture truly was.

Salaan... When a 60-year-old habar kor iyo hoos isla aado, sidii wax jini kusoo dagay, it is a fine art, culturally approved dhaqan, and should be applauded. But when a 20-year-old shakes her thang, it is completely and unbelievably discouraged, not based on religion by regional sensitivities. But ask any person, which one should s/he prefer: Either watching a granny sidii boorana camal wax kusoo dagay u bood boodeyso or that niiko? Anyway, ninba iyo naagba tiisa ayaa la quman. And speaking of niiko, I was once having my hair cut in a Soomaali baarbiyeeri, where the studio next door [actually they are separated by an inner door] -- the studio, that infamous Hall of F[sh]ame, was playing a newly arrived niiko video from Shabeellada Dhexe. Oh, Lordy. Maxee dadka ku shamuunsanayeen. Mid walba alaabteeda maxee soo dhigtay. Finally, an old man ayaa la dhahay gal, oo la ciyaar gabdhaha. Understandably, he refused. Again, waala barye. Still insistently refusing. However, ugu dambeyntii waa yeelay. Ar dadkii baryaaye wax ayee ogaayeen. Ninkiiba isla markiiba jini kusoo dagay. Ninkiiba no more old man yahay. Cirka uu joogaa. Gabdhihii waxooda lux luxaaye intii hoosta laga galay, saan idinku sheego ma kasaaye, but I remembered whoever wrote the lyrics of adi lee barakadaa bukeen karaa or ...soo hoobiyee, halahoo isii, midig ka dhaw, bidix ka dhaw sii sii malaboow sanjab, sanjab had indeed seen that old man's heyday in action. He was indeed both bukeening and dhawing at the same time. I therefore call that a true art, buraanbur too may be, but not in that league.

This is just in: France recognizes Quebec!!!!!! Jean Charest and French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin sign a declaration. [Duly note the flag at the back, lest you forgot my point.] Another news just in: Mexico recognizes Quebec!!! Unbelievable!!!! Mexico's Economy Minister Fernando Canales Clariond and Quebec Premier Jean Charest. [Ah, do not overlook the flag, baliis.] Breaking news: It is official, Belgium finally recognizes Quebec!!! Jean Charest with Yves Leterme, the Minister-President of the Flemish Community of Belgium. Oh, the mighty US recognizes Quebec!! The world is ending, the world is ending... The Premier with Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff. [The Quebec flag is obscured by Chertoff, lest you missed.] Oh, the impossible. The impossible. European Union does indeed recognize Quebec: Quebec Premier Jean Charest gave a speech on federalism and globalization at the European Parliament. ______________ Haye, masii wadaa? Should I bring official pictorial recognition from Shiinaha? Jabbaan? Barasiil? Ingiriiska? Hallloow, anybody out there gettin' my drift and paying attention? Hallooooooooooooooow[!]

Munaasabad lagu xusay Maalinta Dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed (15-ka Maajo) oo ku beegan 63-guuradii ka soo wareegatay aasaaskii ururkii SYL ayaa maanta ka dhacday magaalada Baydhabo. Munsaabadan oo sanad walba Soomaaliya laga xuso ayaa lagu maamuuusay markii dhidibada loo aasay ururkii magaciisa loo soo gaabin jiray SYL (Soomaali Youth League) oo la aasaasay 1943, muddo laga joogo 63 sano sidii dalka Soomaaliya uu noqon lahaa dal ka madax banaan gumaystaha. Munaasabadan lagu xusay Maalinta Dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed ee maanta ka dhacday Baydhabo ayaa waxaa soo abaabulay Wasaaradda Dhalinyarada iyo Isboortiga ee dawlada federaalka iyo ururka Dhlinyarada Gobolka Baay oo uu Gudoomiye u yahay Cali Sheekh Xuseen "Cali Shiino" Dadwaynihii ka qaybgalay xuska ayaa waxay socod ka soo bilaabeen Hotel Edin ee magaalada Baydhabo waxayna socod ku soo mareen wadooyinka waawayn ee magaalada Baydhabo waxayna isugu soo urureen garoonka kubadda Cagta Baydhabo (Ayuub Stadium) Waxaa dadwaynihii isugu soo baxay garoonka kubadda Cagta Baydhabo la hadlay Wasiirka Dhalinyarada iyo Isboortiga Axmed Cabdullaahi Jaamac Daakir. Wasiirk ayaa sheegay in dhalinyaradu ay laf-dhabar u yihiin ummad kasta asagoo xusay in aasaasayaashii ururkii SYL ay ahaayeen 13 dhallinyaro ah oo u guntaday dhulkooda, wuxuuna dhalinyarada reer Baydhabo uga mahadceliyay sida quruxda badan ee ay uga qaybqaateen xuska Maalinta Dhalinyarada Soomaaliyeed. Aabiyaashii Gobanimadoonka: Yaasiin Xaaji Cismaan Xaaji Maxamad Xuseen Cabdiqaadir Sakhaawadiin Khaliif Huudoow Macallin Max'ed Cismaan Baarbe.

Cacaacal.qam iyo baliis-baliis.quuq Su'aal : Waxaa maamulkii Cabdiqaasim kuu doortay mar ra'isal wasaare, laakiin waxaa la sheega in aad laguu xumeeyey, Somaliland gudaheedana aan lagaaga yeeleen wixii koonfur lagaaga yeelay, sharaftaadii ayaa meel lagaga dhacay, cabdiqaasim-na wuxuuba kugu tilmaamay nin aan tallada reerkiisu xitaa ka go'in, ma waxaasi oo dhan oo ku gaadhay ayaad leedahay Somaliland weli kuma qanacsani gooni isku taageeda iyo karaamadeeda? Jawaab : haddii uu masayr shacab yahay sidaad sheegayso maxaa beesha caalamku idiin aqoonsan wayday mar hore... Jawaab fiican maxaa la siiye.

Maakhir, the article alludes that they are minority. They certainly aren't, but they are unarmed. Can you believe the guddoomiyaasha of Afgooye, Marka, Baraawe, Awdheegle, Qoryooleey and Daafeed [Wanlaweyn] all hail from one sub-clan, who historically or not has no business in there to be? Plus the guddoomiyaha of the whole gobol? Unfortunately, or fortunately for the occupiers, the native residents of these degmooyin still have the old mentality of peacefulness, that everything, like in gumeysigii Talyaaniga, will be good one day. Nabad waa wax muhiim ah, oo laga maarmin for any human being. Laakiin dadkaas lagu heysto gobolladaas wali waa riyoonoyaan, believing, like gumeysidoonkii, all will be good in the long term. Ma'oga this ain't gumeysi duullaan ku yimid oo shisheeya ah, but a gumeysi dhow oo dhul balaarsiga raadinaayo, marna diin ku ganbanaayo, beerahoodana ka xalaaleystay. They can't even go fishing now; they pay extra "tax" or royalty to fish their Eebbe-given right to fish their own native ocean they ever knew. They now are changing, though, testing Indhamadoowe's brutal rule. They started low-level campaign, bombing his xerooyin at night in many degmooyin, thus he started bandow, a curfew at night most degmooyin. It isn't working, since the last two nights already two different bombs occured in Marka, his strongest base. They also distribute waraaqo loogu digaayo and lagu dacaayadeynaayo his brutal rule. Ha ogaadaan unless sidii Caydiid Junior looga soo saaray dhulkii Arlaadi, in Indhamadoowe meelna u socon unless sidii Caydiid Jr. loo galay ku dhicin -- a forceful removal asaga iyo wixii lamid ah.

Dankis and appreciation, Sincere. I made it and here it is: http://www.petitiononline.com/Jinoole/petition.html Folks, sign it now, you were fearful before your name to appear on SOL, now no more. And foward it to your contacts. Dankis again all. PS, I will feature this topic now.
