War Jananka, war tartiibso yaaqeey. Meesha ciidan maxkamad leedahay ma joogin. Ciidamada deegaanka ayaa joogay, haba iskala xiriir lahaadaan Maxkamadaha Xamar ka jiro. Marka tartiibso. And I don't think ciidamo "dowlad" inay meesha ka jirto. The locals will interpret in laga qabsaday deegaankooda, which they will, of course, have a right to defend. Si kale ayaa loogu dhaadhacsiin karay, not in lagu soo duulo, since meesha joogin ciidan maxkamad ka amarqaataan. And of course Indhamadoowe will defend his occupied region. Maxaa ka galay Buurhakaba, ma asagaa xukumay awal? Waa maya hee.

Well, Western media has a tendency to use exaggeration and oversimplification and allegation laga fiirsan when it comes to us Muslims. Kama walwalaan wax sue gareynaayo iyo wax kale, they know. Now, sometimes it seems those following words means same and interchangeable: Terrorist Insurgent Militant Fundamentalist Taliban Alqaacida Xamaas Xisbullaah Iyo kuwii lamid ah. They are going to publish some more deitailed articles and photos tomorrow. Will see. A crying Cashara ka walwalsan qaabda xun ee dalkiisa u socdo.

Ee hadana Afsoomaaliga ayaa lee yahay maa keentay? Wax walba ma laguu dhaafaa, oo afkii maa la iskaga daba yimid. Asaga dhan raro hee markaas. Anyway, it is two out of three. So far waa lagaa saxsan yahay, by population-size.

So Gabileey is a suburban of Hargeysa. Hadana Kismaayo ayee ka dad badan tahay? See camalkaa igaarkeey. Sophist, kamoon, Laascaanood maka dad badno dadka degan Beledweyne iyo Baraawe, even xataa hadee sadex jibaarantay.

The title is fine, grammatically speaking. Wadaado ku xidhan maxkamadaha Xamar oo dhaq dhaqaaqyo ka wada agagaarka Burco Maxaa ka qaldan? Nothing. It didn't say "wadaado u xiran Maxkamadaha Xamar...," which would've implied a jail term or imprisonment. However, it says to "ku xiran," translated as "associated [literally 'closed'] to." Waana sax.

Today the Toronto Star dedicated several exclusive pages and photos about Soomaaliya, and Xamar, sending two of its reporters. Front page ayeeba ku yaaleen, when I picked up, with large picture of sheekh la yiraahdo Aasbaro that used to live in Koronto. ----------------- MOGADISHU—In this dusty, broken city, past the pockmarked walls bearing the scars of countless battles, through the guarded gates of the Al Furqan University and inside a sunny office, sits a former Toronto grocery store owner who is now a leader in an Islamic regime that has been likened to the Taliban. Canadian Abdullahi Afrah, or Asparo as he’s known to most, left Toronto nine years ago to return to his birthplace to see an end to the years of civil war that has consumed the country since the government collapsed in 1991. That journey has brought him to the Union of Islamic Courts, which swept into Mogadishu in June, defeating the reigning warlords with cunning military prowess. Like the Taliban, they immediately invoked strict adherence to sharia law and have presided over public executions of criminals, floggings of women who fail to wear the hijab and censorship of the media. And like the Taliban, their authoritarian rule has brought stability to a war-weary people. In a series of rare interviews, the Star spoke with the union’s leaders including Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, the Islamists’ wily military commander and religious head credited for the takeover of this city and much of southern Somalia. Aweys, nicknamed the “Old Fox†for his flaming red-dyed beard and shrewd nature, is regarded as one of the more radical members of the group’s leadership and is listed by both the United Nations and U.S. State Department as a “supporter of terrorism.†"Why don't they give us a chance?" Aweys asked during the interview at his home. "We need the choice of our own freedom and which kind of government should be stable for us. We need to decide for ourselves." Mogadishu became an international pariah in 1993 when two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters were shot from the sky and dead American soldiers dragged through the streets. The world largely turned its back on the country during the years since, as thousands were killed in battles between warlords or by hunger and disease. Anarchy ruled and nowhere more so than this capital city, which is considered one of the most dangerous places on Earth. Hundreds of thousands fled, seeking refuge in camps nearby or to countries thousands of kilometres away. It's estimated that more than 100,000 Somalis settled in Canada, creating the largest diaspora outside of Africa. Asparo was one of them. Asparo's current standing has shocked those in Toronto who remember him. "No one could believe it," said one Toronto Somali leader. "He was shy, quiet. We thought it couldn't be the same man." Asparo is remembered in Toronto's Somali community for the variety of jobs he held in Canada — co-owner of a halal grocery store on Dundas St. W. or running a branch of a Somali money wire service — but not for his religious or political views. The 54-year-old says he even once worked as a security supervisor for the Toronto Catholic school board before returning here in 1997. But he now downplays this remarkable and strange journey from a seemingly mundane life in Canada to Islamic scholar and powerful leader here. "I love adventure so it was not tough for me," he said, with a smile. Now he's encouraging other Somali Canadians to follow. "(Canadians) will make a good life if they come back, even Canadians with very few resources. We're very, very pleased to have them back. We need some expertise." But it's an invitation that makes some Western security agencies wary. Little is known about the Union of Islamic Courts, its members, and who's in control. A call this month for jihad against neighbouring Ethiopia led some to fear that a proclamation for war against the West will follow, attracting reinforcements from other war-torn areas. It's the younger members of the organization, such as the elusive Adan Hashi Ayro, suspected by the United Nations of involvement in several unsolved murders, including the shooting death of a BBC producer here last year, who cause the most concern. Aweys is a former associate of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden but denies his group has any aspirations other than bringing long-awaited peace to a divided nation. "We don't care what they say, we don't have any links with Al Qaeda," Aweys said. Before the Islamists organized themselves, a transitional federal government was formed in 2004 as a means to bring central control — something the country had lacked since the presidency of Gen. Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown 15 years ago. Warlords representing the country's major tribal clans were appointed to cabinet positions and equally represented in an effort to pacify years of tribal warfare. Here again, Somali Canadians returned home to assume positions of power. But despite great fanfare, the transitional government now complains it didn't receive promised resources and the international expertise it needs to operate effectively. "Things would have been different if the international community had acted in a timely fashion. They have been promising the last two years they would help with the institution-building, peace-building, with reconciliation efforts, with the establishment of the organization and disarmament. None of it has materialized," the transitional government's minister of information, Canadian Ali Jama, told the Star. Etobicoke Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj said he believes the Canadian government overlooked an opportunity last year to help stabilize Somalia. Wrzesnewskyj went on a fact-finding mission to Somalia last fall to meet with leaders of the transitional government, including President Abdullahi Yusuf, and was impressed with what they promised to achieve. But they needed help and Wrzesnewskyj said he brought back an urgent appeal for a Canadian envoy to help cement the transitional government's role and work toward the goal of democratic elections slated for 2009. Despite many meetings, memos and promises — Wrzesnewskyj said Somalia was not high on the former Liberal government's agenda, nor has it caught the attention now of Stephen Harper's Conservative government. "The West's, including Canada's, attention was preoccupied with wars," said Wrzesnewskyj. "Unfortunately our lack of interest in Somalia when peace had a chance has now ironically given war a chance." Earlier this year, warlords within the transitional government were reportedly given covert support from the United States in an effort to subdue the rising popularity of the Islamists. But the mission backfired and the warlords' brutal actions instead only brought the Islamists together as one organization and critically undermined the government. In the ensuing power vacuum, as the transitional government worked to restore its reputation, the Islamists moved in and restored security. Despite efforts to negotiate with the Islamists at peace talks to be held two weeks from now in Sudan, the government appears vulnerable. Ethiopia has reportedly sent troops to its aid, only raising the ire of the Islamists and neighbouring Eritrea. Ethiopia denies troops are on the ground and Eritrea refutes claims that it has flown weapons into the airport here for the Islamists — but many fear the long-time rivals will now use Somalia to continue their war. In Baidoa, the transitional government's stronghold 250 kilometres from here, President Yusuf narrowly escaped an assassination attempt that killed his brother and several others last month. The suicide truck bombing was a first for Somalia and seemed to bolster claims of foreign terrorist involvement. Initially, Yusuf accused Al Qaeda of masterminding the blast but yesterday, during a meeting in Nairobi with Western and African diplomats, he pointed the finger at the Union of Islamic Courts and alleged Aweys ordered his assassination. Wrzesnewskyj said he hopes that despite the recent violence there is still an opening for Canada and others to help in the peace talks. Others are less optimistic any mediation will arrive in time. Canadian Awad Ahmed Ashareh is now a member of parliament with the transitional government and while he believes there are some members of the Union of Islamic Courts who are open to negotiation, he concedes the power imbalance is frightening. "There won't be disarmament without foreign support because in the Islamic courts, every clan, they have their own arms, headed by a sheikh. They transferred the arms of the warlords to the sheikhs of their clans," he said during a recent interview in Kenya's capital, Nairobi. Ashareh then stops the interview as he breaks into sobs, explaining that the stress of life in Somalia is sometimes overwhelming. His shoulders shaking, wiping tears angrily away, he pauses to compose himself and apologize. "I tell you, it's a horrible situation," he says. "Nobody's helping Somalia." --------------- Photos and more.

He is not involved with this extremists who wants to take the somali people back to the 7th century. He is attributed to be the co-founders of Alitixaaad in late 1980s, an organization which involved a lot of wars in early 1990s. And those wadaada ku sheega at Xamar today are the former followers or leaders of Alitixaad with new, more twisted militant newcomers, so if they are "extremists," he too should be. If they aren't, he isn't. Ma kala haraan.

Gabiley way ka dad badan tahay Kismayo taa lasoco. Intee ku taalaa Gabileey? Teeda kalena magaalo iyo tuulo, degmo ayaaba u dhaxeyso ka horeyso oo maba isku dhawo.

Buurhakabo is in the possession of its local biibol as it was in the last seven years. Hadaa wali wareersantahay, nasoo weydii.

Salaan iyo soon wanaagsan iyo habeen qadar wacanba. Horta, can we differentiate between what is a city, town, village and hamlet. Soomaalida aad iyo aad ee ugu wareersan yihiin marka laga hadlaayo gobollada iyo degmooyinkooda. Before the war, Soomaaliya has one official city: Xamar. Inta kale degmooyin ayee ahayeen, inkastoo ay kala weynaayeen. Soomaaliya today, however, unofficially, has few cities [magaalooyin], such as Xamar, Hargeysa, Baydhabo, Kismaayo iyo, lately, Boosaaso. [These cities is believed to populated by generally more than 100,000 people today, mostly increased by internally displaced people.] Waxaa ku xigo degmooyinka [towns] sizable considerable populations, such as Gaalkacyo, Beledweyne, Baraawe, Burco, Marko, Boorame, Afgooye iyo dhowr kale. [Towns have less than 100,000 people living at any given time.] Hadana waxaa ku xigo tuulooyinka [villages]. Hadana waxaa ku xigo buulooyinka [hamlets]. Wareerka waxaa keenay buulkii ayaa tuulo laga dhigay, tuulooyinkiina laga dhigay degmooyin, degmooyinkiina magaalooyin.

Ceyroow maa saan loo aamanaayaa? War this dude doesn't care whether you are his blood brother or wax kale, hada kasoo horjeedid his twisted, militant fikrad waa qarxee mise waa qaxee -- no other choice. Wax asaga lamid ah dalka uma baahno, militant argagax wado, who would do anything to achieve his vision. Moooryaan ayaaba dhaanto la qancin karo, not this dude iyo wixii lamid ah.

Horta sugba maamul goboleedka Bari ka jiro maxee xukumaan ka ahayn dekedda. Waxaa ka wadaa badanaa iskoolada ka jiro meesha ha'ado shisheeye ayaa maamulo, oo ay la wadagaan dalka, meeshee dagaal ka jirto iyo meeshee ka yirin. Xataa ma masruufaan macalimiinta. Iskoolada hal manhaj ma qabaan. Sida iskoolada wadanka ka jiro camal, midba wax baas oo lagu wareersan yahay ee wataan, kuwa manhaj Sacuudi, kuwa Kuweyd, kuwa Iimaaraadka, kuwa Bakistaan, kuwa Keenyaatiga. Oo xataa inay isku mideyaan mey awoodi waayeen, micnaha maamul goboleed meyna fahamsaneen. Maxaa u diiday maadaama meesha maamul ka jiro in manhajkii dowladii hore laso celiyo, waliba horseed u ahaa afka hooyo wax lagu barto. Meesha teeda kale booliis ka wada taliyo gobollada dhan maka jiro, degmo walba baroomo ayee qabtaa, oo kii madax lagu sheegayba dabasocdaan labaatan baroon qabqable camal, oo meel nabad ka jirtaba aan u muuqan meesha. Baroomada ama tiknikada in la xareeyo waaye. Maka jiraan wax jidad dhisaayo, nin walba guri weyn uu iska dhistay, oo meeshuu rabo ka dhistay, oo jidka la simneen; jidadkii baabuurtana qof isku taxluujiye maleh, degmooyinkii markaas waxee u ekaadeen sawir qalqaloocan. I used to think sawirada laga soo qaado degmooyinka fiday dagaalada ka bacdi qaarkood inay dadka soo qaado kaseynin si sawir loo qaado ama ee baabuur ku jiraan markee qaadayaan maxaa yeelay waa wada qaloocdaan. Jidadkii dhan ayaa wada qaloocan, iskaba dhaaf wax laami u sameeyee. No municipal planning whatsoever. Baabuurta shati ma qabaan. Aboow heeloow dhan aa iska wado. Taarko ma jirto, sida dalka oo dhan, taarko dal kale, siiba Iimaaraadka, laga lee yahay aa iska saaran baabuurta cusub oo weyba ku xaragoodaan dadka leh heer ee iska fujiyaan iska dhaaf. Meesha licence iyo shati inay sameyaan waaye, dhaqaalo ayaaba ugu soo gali lahayd, nidaamna jiri lahaa. Maamul gobolleed afka lee ma'aha oo waa in la shaqeysiyaa. Hadii dhaqaalo badan jirin, ma'aha in la sugo hay'ado shisheeye oo dan badan wato, oo wax yar soo tuuraayo. Municipal planning dhaqaalo uma baahno. Masuqmaasuqa hadee yaraan lahayd dhaqaalaha xoolaha la dhoofiyo laga helo iyo dekedda kistoo jidadka waa lagu dhisi karaa, oo iskoolada wax waa loogu qaban karaa, oo xataa in lagu mideeyo la helo. Canshuur nidaam ahna si toos ah dadka loogu qaado, oo qas bilaa masuqmaasuq la'aan ku dhaceyso ayaa la sameyn karaa oo wax badan qaban lahayd. Ma'ogi inay sugayaan dowladii Xamar kasoo baxdo oo meeqo sano ayee hada sugoyaan, waxna ay qaban oo waliba iyagoo iskugu wacaayo maamul goboleed. Saas ayaa keentay, ugu wacan in dhulkaan banaan dadka iska dhistaan, maxaa yeelay meesha sida Koonfurta camal ayee u egtahay wax sharci ah ka jirin. Hadii wax walba canshuur, shati iyo kala dambeys ahaan lahaa, public spaces qof haweysan lahaa ma jireen.

Nothing is calm. Dad ayaa la laaye, oo meydkooda meesha laga qaadin waliba diyaarad laga raacay. Well, somebody has to pay the price. Today or tomorrow, maalintee ahaataba.

War calaacal iyo quuq badanaa dadkaan. "Gates of hell" iyo balah balah iyo yada yada yada maloo joogo. The dude did xasuuq, he has no reason to be in the deeggaanka uu xasuuqa ka geystay, if he mistakenly thinks wax la iska ilooway, well, mister, think again. Hadiiba 24 loo qabtay waaba lucky. Saransoor dadkiis ayaa laga laaye, xaq ayuu u lee yahay in uu aarsado oo dadka dhiig ayee lee yihiin, uu ka bilaabo kan weyn indha adeeg meesha la yimid. Cabaadka iska yareeya.

Horta inaa inaan kula doodo mar horaa ka quustay, oo farahaa kaa qaaday, beenta aad wadid aan hada inaa kuu jawaabo igu kaliftay. Guddoomiyaha gobolka Jubbada Hoose: Axmed Sheekh Max'ed (Axmed Madoobe) Duqa degmada Kismaayo: Bashiir Axmed C/laahi [Jarato] Maareeyaha dekedda weyn: Ciise Qaasim Max'uud.

Those are where the power lies, ee calaacalka badan iyo dhareerka jooji, baliis. --------- Jananka, "Jubbaland" wax soconaayo ma'aha on expense of real deeggaanka dadka u dhashay ee native ku ah. Hadaa rabtid gobol badan la isku dhiso, then Talyaaniga ayaaba dhisay gobolkii ugu weynee ee "Altajubba" oo ka koobnaa Jubbada Dhexe, Bakool, Gedo, Baay iyo qeyb kamid ahayd Shabeellada Hoose -- kaas almiina hala soo celiyo. Anyway, su'aasheyda maka jawaabin. Waa kugu celinaa. Was not kan warlordka ahaa ee laga buriye magaalada a co-occupier, in league with Seeraar and Goobaale? Yes or no, yaaqeey.

Ama ha rooraan ama ha dareeraan, there should a reserved qeyb walaalaheena ka qeyb qaataan, since they claim to be a movement that wants to govern the whole country. Well, majority of people of the country they want to rule waa gabdhaheena, habaryaraheena, eedooyinkeena, hooyaasheena iyo ayeeyasheena nala dhashay. They need their voice la maqlo, not meel cidlo loogu tago. Or otherwise, let them be, as they already seem to, qabqabliyaashii laga ceyriye meesha, who never gave a chance our walaalaheena when it came to power sharing.

Aniga waxaa la yaabay you've had no problem lately the other guy who co-occupied this city. Awal Moorgan ayee ahayd, markuu Indhamadoowe ey isla wadaageena you tried to discredit him, saying he is powerless. I also remember kii meesha laga ceyriye markuu Moorgan ee iska horjeedeen inaad Moorgan la safneed. Now, suddenly, kuwa hada qabsaday ayaa "occupier" ugu waceysaa. At least Xasan Turki has a legitimate claim since dadkiisa deeggaanka agagaarkiisa deggaan, laakiin kan kale meesha ka cararay oo ka yimid Galgaduud maxaa ugu shuqul leh meesha. At least wadaada ku sheega dadka deeggaanka asal ahaan u dhashay, qabiilkee doonaan ha ahadeen, ayee u dhiibeen maamulka meesha. I will ask you explicitly, and I hope you answer it unambiguously as well: Was not kan warlordka ahaa ee laga buriye magaalada a co-occupier, in league with Seeraar and Goobaale? Yes or no, baliis. Disregard mid Cabdillaahi Yuusuf uu la jiraa or mid wadaada ku sheega. The point of my enemy's enemy is my friend ma'aha now. Taloow hadee Seeraar, Indhamadoowe and co. la jiri lahayeen Cabdillaahi Yuusuf, would you have sung another different song, by the way? The people of Shabeellaha Hoose iyo Jubbooyinka ma'aha dad lagu meel gaaro. They have their own rights, too. Waa dad la dhibaateeye, oo xaq u leh inay maamulaan deegaankooda, ma'aha inaad mid la jirtid, kan kalena kasoo horjeedid because of bogus clan siyaasad.

Umm, soori about the title. I meant Golaha Shuurada. Ever wonder horta that of the 93 members and growing, that there is not a single, not hal qof, oo dumar ah ku jiro? Yep. The Shuurada consists six or seven groups, four whom are identical with different shirts only [such as isbaheysigii burburay ee Isbaheysiga Dooxada Jubbo, qeyb ka socoto kuwa xoogga ugu taliyo Shabeellaha Hoose, qeyb kale ka socoto Galgaduud, etc]. I don't mind that. But how come not a single sister of ours not included? Ma boosaa loogu quuri waaye. Not exactly all the members of Golaha, but many of them are. And of course it looks like this when the real Golaha meets. Not a single shaash in sight.
