Salaan... He is no longer ganeey nooh. Ar muxuu necbaa ganeeynimo, though. He studied dentistry nooh, so marka first thing he did was iligiis ayuuba iska badalay. Waa laguugu salaamaa, Baashi marax ayaa kusoo salaamaayi aan dhahaa.

I assume you are not familiar with Soomaali culture. Most Soomaalis do not go to club and those few who do won't flaunt it, especially on here, dear. Welkam to the forum.

Originally posted by Camel Milk: Minnesota is all for Abduallhi Yusuf Sharif Hassan wants to go there he is risking his life. Minnesota is where the real Somalians are. Minnesota maantana waxee noqotay miyaa Bari? Yaab iyo nuskeeda. Perhaps since there is no such thing or people called "Somalians," then we assume the foresaid "real" Soomaalis are in Minnesota proper, who are just that--Soomaalis composed of every way of life, stripe and political (read: clan) affiliation.

So, where are the pictures, Gabarta isku dhaceyso? I've never seen a photo of Naaso Caanood, marka meeshaas na tusi sawirkooda, koleey bus iyo boor lee kasoo horeeyo yaa ogaado.

Salaan... Baashi, war makuu haayi laakiin saaxiibkaa ayaa maalin dhawayd website ku arkay. Widaaygaa suu isku badalay fiiri. Ma xasuusataa suu u ekaa horta?

Salaan... Is she available, waraa? She looks, umm, iiga soo waran yaaqeey if she is... U sheeg, igaarkoo aa ku raadinaaye ku dheh.

Dawlad goboleedka Puntland waxay caalamka u caddayneysaa in aysan cidna marti ugu ahayn horumarinta dadkeeda iyo dalkeeda. Buntilaan maanta dal mee noqotay? Mise micnaha "dal" ayaa u gooye qofkii qoray war saxaafadeedkaas. Horumarinta dadkeeda qof diidan ayaa iska yar, laakiin horumarinta "dalkeeda" waa mid Soomaali dhan u taalo. Hadee Soomaaliya ka go'deyna that is another story and should absolutely care about their "dal," whatever and wherever it is.

Salaan... I can't believe reer Mirc DALnet are here. I was introduced to IRC by Qoslaaye in May, '98. In these years, between '96-'99, reer Scandinavia dominated in that room, #somalia, especially reer Iswiidhan. Then reer Bakistaan/Hindiya ayaa qabsaday oo meeshii dhan balaayo ka dhigay. Whatever happened to: Dalka Talisman Qoslaaye Wiilka Haxpert Ilbuun Outkow Kaal Waardiye Gacalo I'm happy to report Mr. Barreh is alive and well. He is with Sun Microsystems Inc. and back in Austin, TX. Tell him he is arguably a pioneer of his own, not only from being the first Soomaali on the net, but possibly the first Horn African on the net too. And thus rightly deserves a shahaado sharaf, virtually.

Salaan... Coomay, ha dhaaf widaayoow. Isbarmuuto noo cab, wanbar soo qaado, kursi jiif kusii istireex, isku fidi. Dalkeena ma iloowin, qof iloowi karana qof is ilooway shaqsi ahaantiis waaye. NB, magacaaga goormaa maqlo igu danbeysay.

Salaan... Lazie, I am not against him. In fact, I do listen to his album wherever I can. And as you said, he has had given a new spirit to old, long dead songs. However, I can't forgive that particular song of Gabaryahee gartaa...keenee, keenee gardaran being butchered. I mean, this song, I can't help it, it stuck in my mind and the original (which was a longer version) is so smooth that this guy butchered it so finely. Even the singer who sung it originally was complaining about him not paying a due coutesy a couple months ago from Xamar. Anyway, I agree he has a considerable voice if only uu heeso cusub soo saaran lahaa, that would have been another story.

Salaan... I see I am not alone surprising to find that fella existed. Speaking of the 'Net and my novice days in back mid '97, every time I remember I can't help but laugh. I was new to high school and I self-taught the Internet with my very few and far limited English, let alone computer terminologies. I kept our librarian at school mad because I used to print countless papers oblivious to me (I didn't know what "print" meant then and I being a real maryooleey learned on mistakes and kept going). Also there was a site called somali.com, a mainly chat-based site with a little discussion group. It existed until in mid '98 when the fellas at the upcoming somalinet hacked, shut down and stole its chatroom code. There was a mass departure to somalinet within a week. That was how somalinet was born, a questionable deed indeed.

Salaan... Quite the opposite if the Sheikh is one endowed with islamic knowledge Xoogweyne do you think "maxkamadaha Islaamiga" are true "Islamic" courts? They are anything but...Even their leader was one-time dagaal ooge, Korneel Daahir Aweys (calling himself sheekh nowadays). By the way magacaa markaan arko waxaan soo xasuustaaa my friend. They call him Xoogsade because shaqo maka haro, unless supervisor-yaasha ka naxaan dhahaan take this weekend off oo maba haro and we call him Gadgadoome for another reason maxaa yeelay wuu gam gamaa, sidii cagaf cagaf camal.

This so-called Khaalid singer is stealing others arts. In that first album of his, three of his core and popular songs are straight rip-off, including Keenee, keene gardaran (which was a popular song in '80s) and Nagma The latter is originally sung by a Jabuuti fella, with its all original smooth voice copycatted.

Waayo waayo ayaaba kusoo xasuustay, rageedi. The days of masaaraca in late '80s, Hok Hoogan (spelling and pronouncing in Soomaali-style) ruled.

Salaan... Do you remember where you were in that year? A lot of us were running from somewhere to nowhere, I know, I know. If I think I recall correctly in that trying year, the new year was of 1991 was born in xaafada Madiina, moving from where the fierce fighting was on in our home located at xaafada Hodan. Then it was to Baydhabo, Waajid, back to Xamar and, because of another useless fight (the fight the article below discusses), to Dayniile for few weeks. But what I couldn't believe is a real Jaamac at the same time was foruming on the NET in these enduring times! Yes, in 1991, a Soomaali man was on the Internet (or what was then largely a usenet discussion groups), giving his nomadic two cents where the mother of all forums/discussion boards was born--newsgroups. I believe Jaamac Barre must be the first Soomaali person to use the net, a decade before even this very site was founded in 2001. I haven't even heard the Internet 'til 1997!

That is what I'm talking about. There are a lot of issues that needs more priorities than this lame publicity, even if they are trying their best. Only the other week, unarmed family's kids were massacred in their own home by men who belonged the same branch as those surwaalgaab above. (I mean they were wadaado, 100 percent, but killing others for no tangible reason.) And of course, their superiors did nothing. Horta first and foremost my beef stems from a clanized "Islamic" court. Then they mostly prey and bully only the weak, non-armed kids and others, while it is their "ilmo adeero" who isbaarada laga qaadi la yahay, and what are they doing? Nothing. Oh, yeah, waxee diidayaan in uu dagaal dhaco. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm buying. ________________ PS, awguuriyo on your aroos. Xamar ma aadee, mise xaajiyada via Addis Ababa ayaa laga soo wadaa?

Salaan... The show is cancelled simply because fewer viewership + at the bottom of Nielsen ratings + more less advertisement + zero $ profits + show axed by a disgruntled executive.

Salaan... I su soo bax maanta Lagu qabtay Fagaaraha Tarbuunka ee Muqdisho ayaa waxaa lagu burbriyay ilaa iyo 100 dhalo oo ay ku jireen Qamriga loo yaqaano DRY GIN oo sida la sheegay laga keenay dalka Itoobiya waa sida ay ku doodeen Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ee Muqdisho. Guddoomiyaha Midowga Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ee Muqdisho Sheekh Shariif ayaa isagu waxaa uu ku doodayaa in Qamrigan laga keenay dalka Itoobiya, waxaa uuna sheegay in Dowladda Itoobiya Siyaasad ka leedahay keenista dalka Soomaaliya Qamriga. Sii aqriso ________________ Wixii xunka Xaawa (er Itoobiyaa) leh. And I don't really trust those so-called "wadaado," I fear waxee soo wadaan more than what the qabqabliyaasha are doing now. I don't even know waxee daadinayaan inay yihiin caano mise wan xitaa. Call it a public relations stunt. Never knew, though, that reer surwaalgaab mastered this art too.

Salaan... That wanted man stabbed a Soomaali youth in late summer of 2002 with a large nail cutter on his neck and back after a petty argument of "no, you are not going with us to ruwaayad jam" and "yes, I'm going and must am." That wanted person, who came back from U.S. in that summer, went back to U.S. and the last time Soomaali people, including the victim's parents, heard was in Yurub on his way to Soomaaliya.

Salaan... Tuujka, duqa kaalfalooto bilaa gacan la'aan isku kal wareeji, markaas laba darbi saar iyo hal daqiiqo gacmo socod kusii dar. Hadaa sameysid saas dagaal iyo sanifnaan adigoo iloowday aad arkee; dagaal ilig ayaa la iskaga ridaa, ilig maku soo baxo. (Or in the other "dagaal," timaa la iskaga fiiq fiiqaa.)

Salaan... Soomaalidii hore nidaam ayaa u daganaa, oo dadka kala saari jiray da' ahaan, sidee aqoonta dadka u kala duwantahay ayee da'da dadka u kala saari jireen. Inkastoo maanta badanaa Soomaalida isku qaldaan ereyada da'da loogu waco, ereyada iyo waqtigee u taagan yihiin waa kala duwan yihiin. Hadaadan qaldamin, saan ayaa moodaa: Dhalad (ama cunug) {cunuga maalintuu dhasho ilaa hal sano} Nuune (1 ilaa 5 jir} Ciyaal (ama yaryaruurac) {5-9 jir} Barbaar {9-14 years} Qaangaar {14-18 jir} Dhalinyaro {18-35 jir} Joobano {35-45 jir} Duq {45-55 jir} Odey {55-65 jir} Waayeel{65+ jir} Dadka aan da'dooda ka muuqan, siiba nimanka, waxaa la dhihi jiray: Cuti, Curi iyo Coon.

Salaan... However, it seems to me that you are somewhat tentative to go length at the fundamental distinction between them. Fair enough, you have been very helpful. Waan jeclaa lahaa in aan sii dhexgalo, laakiin nasiibxumo aqoon weyn, waa sidaan horey u sheegay, uma lihi dariiqayada suufiyaasha. Taas waxaaba kasii daran dariiqda Saalixiya saas uma caansana, oo Geeska Afrika (Horn of Africa, including Suudaan) kaliya ayee ku faaftay, saas xataa uguma faahin oo dad yar kaliya ayaa qaatay. Sababta ugu wacan marka koowaad waxaa waaye maadaama ee ahayd "a relative new comer" dariiq oo hal qarni iyo wax yar kaliya ayee jirtaa. Mida labaadna daabacaad badan ma laga sameynin dariiqdaan Saalixiya ah, inkastoo kasoo faracantay Axmediya; laakiin waxee Soomaalida waagaas isku raaceen ama ugu muuqatay inay ahayd "radical," in the sense Gaalada maanta u dhahaan qofkii diinta ku adag oo asal raac ah "Wahhabi" ama Salafi. Waagii Siidka uu keenaaye dariiqdaan Soomaalida waxee u qaateen "fanatic" iyo "extremist" dariiq ah inay tahay, tan ugu koowaad saas u noqotay waxee ahayd siyaasad ayee dhex gishay. Reer Qaadiriya siyaasada waa ka aamusaan oo diintooda ayee ku ekaadaan wixii kale ka dhacaayo 'state' saas uguma hadlaan, kaliya xaalada markee weynaato. Reer Qaadiriya waxee isku heysteen inay ahaayeen dadka ugu dagan, oo naftooda ayee ka adkaan jireen, waa see isku heystaan, wax duniya ah oo nafta iyo nolosha jecel kuma mashquuli jirin.
