Salaan... This message is for dadka Xamar paralyze ka dhigay, lest they say we won't work with C/laahi Yuusuf and spoil this new government. 2. C/laahi Axmed Caddow- 35 4. C/qaasim Salaad Xassan- 15 8. Cabdi Guuleed Max’ed- 3 9. Cabdiraxmaan Cabdi Waare 1 12. Cali Cumar Xasan Guuleed- 3 14. Cusmaan Max’ed Faarax- 1 15. Eng.Maxamed Xuseen Caddow- 14 16. Farax Weheliye Cadow (Sandiko)- 8 19. Mahdi Abuukar Max’uud- 2 20. Max’ed Cumar Xabeeb (Maxamed Dheere)- 6 21. Max’ed Qanyare Afrax- 33 24. Muuse Suudi Yalaxow- 13 26. Xuseen Maxamed Caydiid- 9 Look at this list! How many so-called Muqdisho-based factions and non-factions we have on this list on first round? Let's add their numbers altogether: We have 143 votes alone in this list. Had they tanaasul sameyn lahayeen before the wood and endorsed one or two candidates, this wouldn't have happened. Intee is dhahayeen idinkaa jagada xaq u leh, waa laga faa'ideystay. Those foolish Muqdisho xooga ku xukumo, haka saarto. They had plenty of chances in the last 14 years, beginning with Cali Mahdi legitimate government, then to Caydiid's limited so-called Salbalaar and finally C/qaasin dowladiis. And what did they do? Aah, haka saarto, since they spoiled every opportunity Soomaalis gave their confederate clan in many, many chances. If they can't share power, well Soomaalida kalaa lagu tijaabinaa the Kursiga, not C/laahi Yuusuf I expected though.

Salaan... Bari, see camal duqa! Can't you differentiate between the two voices, one strong with xabeeb, the other simple accented English. I believe the turjumaan's voice was that Max'ed Cabdi Afey guy, you know kan dowlada Kenya shirka u qaabilsan.

Salaan... I personally am very, very disappointed at the result of this parliamentary vote. Laakiin for the sake of Soomaali midnimo and for the sake of plight of Soomaali people in and out of Soomaaliya, I personally accept Cabdulaahi Yuusuf Axmed as a president, and may Allaah make an easy transition for him: Aamiin. And I can immediately now recall the now infamous phrase declared by Muuse Suudi Yalaxoow on BBC in 2002: "Anaga waxaan leenahay nin walba kaba la'eg ha gishto! C/laahi Yuusuf kabo ka waa weyn aas isku jimayhaa; kursiga madaxweynanimadana waxaa xaq u leh (Muuse Suudi's large confederate clan). Waxaa jira dad badan oo damac ku jiro raba in ay qaataan kabo ka weyn. C/laahi Yuusuf kuma taageersani wax uuna lahayn mana laha awoodeeda..." Al Xaaji wa Muuse Al Suudi wal Yalaxoow, maanta intee jirtay? One fact I dearly learned today is you can never predict and know about twisted Soomaali siyaasad.

Salaan... in english? samboor. Sanboor=allergy I think that is the probable word, Farxaan because anigaa sanboor Ilaahey og yahay qabo that at one time qof walba aan dhibi jiray back home sanka uu iga taaban jiray, so for the next toban daqiiqo qofkaas amaan uu iga heli jiray intaa xadishoow ku jiro. And yes, ereyga "allergy" micno madan ayuu isku fasiraa, inkastoo aniga markii la isku wada koobo aan u maleeyo in lagu fasiro 'xajiin,' sidaan horey ugu qoray. Ereygaan koleey qaarkiin waa yaqanaan aan ku darsanaa: Auction=Xaraash{?}. Qalad miyaa mise waa u dhigmaa? Waraa Jamaal, adiga ma guurinoysaa mise meeshaan bilaash aa iskugu daalineynaa...hana daalin waraa, baliis.

Salaan... Silent, saas aa lagaa rabaa, widaayoow; aad iyo aad ayaa ugu mahadsantahay hidaha iyo dhaqanka ku labisan walaalaheena aad na tusisay. Kuwaan aan kuugu daraa. They are equally special, but midoo ka mid eh waa dhaaftay. And only if every aroos was like that...if, if, two-letter futile word. Qiimo iyo qaayo dhaqankaaga inta kale been. Doesn't she look like Queen Caraweelo oo kursigeeda Dahabiga fadhiso? Waana kasaa full complementary dhaqan. From xaaqin, sali, gurbaan, dabqaad to dhiil to kuul. Magacyadooda waaba ii gooyeen, qofkii yaqaano alaabta hidaha iyo dhaqanka magacyadooda oo dhameystiran mawirkaan ku jiro haku daro. {I hope the sisters don't mind sharing around these pictures since we are proud of you.} Taqwa, waa ogahay, walaaloow, laakiin Soomaali dhaqanimo jaceylnimo lee iga tahay, hadii garbasaar lagu darana ma xumo, waa asturantahay. Inta Soomaali dhaqanimo ku jirto, saas ku wado, iska dhaafo wareerka ciyaal kuni kuniga kuleel...maalintee koraan ee fahmi doonaan micnaha "dhaqan."

Salaan... 2)allergy=Cuncun, xasaasiyad (carabi) Waxaa u maleynaa in ee kalmad ku haboon jirtay, ma hubi laakiin "allergy" aniga waxaa u maqlay in lagu fasiro xajiin. Cuncun, istiinka iyo isnidaamis {Italian?} iyaga dhan waa lagu jacburin karaa, laakiin qeyb kamid eh "allergy" ee ku eg yihiin. Aniga iyo af Soomaali iyo naxwahiisa saas ma igu fiicnin, laakiin intaas lee rabay in aa ku darsado. Fikrad kalena wax yar aan ka dhaho aa rabaa. Intii dowlada jirtay ereyadii ee dowladaas waagaas jirtay hirgalisay haloo dhaafo sidoodaa, xataa hadii laga soo deensaday Carabi mise luuqado kale. Ereyada camal "chart" oo qariirad eh iyo "project" oo mashruuc eh. Hadii kuwii hore si fiican loo wada qaatay gadaal loogu noqdo, dhib kale aa imaan doonto, marka inta 15 sano lasoo dhaafay soo baxay ayaa u baahan in xooga la saaro, fikrad shaqsi ahaanteey.

Salaan... The ever-shrinking of seeing an important cultural Soomaali garment sisters used to wear daily in public in a not distant-memory, and almost relagated to weddings only now, sometimes you wonder if it is dying part of our culture. Of course I am talking about dirac. But this lady defied the odds, indeed. She, by the way, is called "Luul."

Salaan... Originally posted by AYOUB_SHEIKH: I know a friend who has the old Somali Republic textbooks, I'll check whether they say; GAADHI, GAARI or whatever reer Bay choose to call. Actually, Reer Baydhabo say baabuur, whereas some other Southerners prefer the butchered Talyaani word, "fatuurad." And talk about "gaari," a borrowed Hindi word, gadi. Type "vehicle" there. Or here as it is explained gaari/gaadi. A third clarification for you, Mr Standard Soomaali. Now, let's talk about the TRUE and the only original Soomaali word for car or vehicle then.

Salaan... Geedi Shaamboow, a mythical figure popularized in one of the most popular Sulfa's songs, was alleged to reside somewhere between Daafeed and Qoryooleey long way before Islaam reached Soomaali people. He, as powerful and feared as he was, has been purportedly killed by a young man whose sister was soon going to get married, and he couldn't stand the bizarre thought of his sister first sleeping with Geedi Shaamboow for one week, in order her marriage to be 'valid' and 'legitimate.' However, Geedi Shaamboow, if he ever existed at all, wasn’t only confined to one tribe, but most of southern folks practiced, just as the north was alleged to have had a character named Bucur Baceyr. And about the luuqadaha Soomaalida ku hadasho. If we closely look at Af Garro {Admin., pardon the tribal jargon names}, it is closely related to af Boorana, spoken in the triangle between the fictional borders of Keenya, Itoobiya and Soomaaliya settled by Soomaalis and some Boorana. I had heard af Garro spoken in Afgooye town, and I can tell you it is the most, furthest "dialect" {if we can freely call it a dialect at all} away from the standard Soomaali. Af Jiido, af Dabare iyo af Tunni are all heavily influenced by af Maay, even until recently af Dabare and af Jiido were considered to be dialects of af Maay since the speakers mutually understand. Alle-u-baahne, it is not as complicated as you might think when it comes the complexity of Soomaali language and its relationship with other closeby languages, mainly Oromo and Cafar. Do you know that how many words we share with Oromo in Soomaali langauge? I have few words I posted on another website: Soomaali: Ukun (egg) Oromo: Wukun Soomaali: Carab (tongue) Oromo: Arab Soomaali: Luuq (narrow) Oromo: Liiq Soomaali: Gal (enter) Oromo: Gall Soomaali: Dibbi (bull) Oromo: Dubbi Soomaali: Dilaal/Dilaale {broker} Oromo: Dalaal Soomaali: Digsi (pot) Oromo: Distii Soomaali: Faras (horse} Oromo:Faras Soomaali: Gaashaan (shield) Oromo: Gaashaa Soomaali: Qasaare (lost/lose) Oromo: Qasar Soomaali: Saabuun (soap) Oromo: Saabunaa Soomaali: Af (mouth) Oromo: Afaan Soomaali: Caado (custom/tradition/habit) Oromo: Aada Soomaali: Fal/falid (dig/digging) Oromo: Fal/fallu _________________ One positive outcome--and I call this positive for simple reason Soomaali isku baratay--that came out after the civil war is that waala is bartay. The long rhetorical era that proclamated most Soomaalis to be "nomads" or that "all" Soomaalis speak one comprehensible Soomaali language is gone. Wixii under carpet lagu qarin jiray waa soo wada baxeen. Yes, all Soomaalis speak one common standard langauge, laakiin lahjahada kale under carpet aa lagu tuuri jiray by dowlada. Did you know that when dowladii rayidka ruled in 1960s, Raadiyo Muqdisho had two official and equal programs broadcasted in both af Maay and af Maxaa Tiri? Kacaankii aa joojisay fearing lest some asssume Soomaalis speak two different langauges.

Salaan... Nayruus, there is a true halyeey, and you might be interested to know him. He had been covered around here before, and his name is Xirse Hurre Ducaale {Calanside}. Calanside A feature about him by IRIN news service two years ago.

Salaan... Two equally fanatical warlords obsessed to control deegaano they can't even pronounce its names correctly. Look clearly at this map, do they have any business in those degmooyin? I circled over the towns and villages that have interesting names, plus Kismaayo. Shinbiraale Qalaanqaley Karsay Kuusa Caanoole Plus the two villages where the war is supposedly taking place: Xaliimo Cadeey Buulo Xaaji As I said before, and I will reiterate again: Barre Hiiraale, Moorgan, Indha-Cadde, Seeraar--dhamaantiin and your xulufo, baliis, baliis leave alone Reer Waamo, Reer Dhoobleey, Reer Jubbbooyinka, Reer Shabeelooyinka, especially that wanna-be part-time wadaad, full-time warlord Indha-Cadde. People had enough of you all, those residents cannot tolerate your abhorrible cause of deforestation, suffering, war, jid gooy with miino, isbaaro, rape, drugs planted on farms, etc. The anguish those residents experienced in the past 14 years is beyond human affliction. Baliis, baliis--and this is only please so far--go back wherever-and-forth you hailed from, and leave those peace-loving people's affairs alone. They are from all walks of life Soomaali and used to live there side-by-side, clan-by-clan, different-by-different peacefully for centuries before you and your barbaric militias came in the last 14 years with your guns. Every warlord is shaydhaan in his own way, but you in particular had taken a further step by trying to enslave people you have nothing to do with, save in Islaam and Soomaalinimo.

Salaan... Actually, the realpolitik should have been Jinni Boqor as a ra'iisul baarlamaan, Iimaan Hilowle as a co-speaker. The president would have to go C/qaadir Suufi Muriidi Goolof, whereas the prime minister should rightly reserved to Mowliid Qareere Max'uud. And the rest? Duufaan aa qaaday. Ah, since this isn't in reality, ee waa ku waanaa sawiradii caawa: Guddiga qabaqaabada. I guess this is Cismaan Caato, fartiis istakiin u eh. Meesha doorasho maa ka socoto mise hilib gaal aa lagu cunooyaa?

See waaye, qasab waaye in aa xasuusatid. Cilmi iyo Caado is unforgettable, classic ruwaayad. The lady's name is Daleys, see waaye yaa iloobi karo. She still sings that familiar song here in Toronto, even in her unbelievable age. Yaa ila hadlaayo, yaa ila hadlaayo...yaa igu soo da'gaayo... Anyway, you can watch this particular scene from here, her jiniyaal of cirka, dhulka and badda The TUUR guy..in cilmi iyo caado when shukansi-ing the tall lady was also funny-I like when he actually says...so dhowoow dhubeey anku dadihiye...bal muxuu daadihin..asagii baa liite Nothing wrong with that Tuur guy. ______________ There are many, many memorable ruwaayado scenes. Some particular ones that that still come to mind: "Tuug Ma Aragtay? Maya Dheh" ruwaayad on TV back home. This, to me, is beyond classic. When he is practicing what he has been told to say when he and his thief accomplice are pursued by police and the victim. The clever tuug hides under a tree, and tells him to stay banaanka and if he sees them and is asked if he had seen anybody, to tell them: "Tuug ma aragtay?" "Maya dheh." "Nin meelahaan socdo ma aragtay?" "Maya dheh." "Nin Ordaayo ma aragtay?" "Maya dheh." They come and saw him reciting what he has been told shakingly. Markii la qabtayna isku wareerinaayo, "Sheekh C/qaadiroow.....laa ilaaha illa allaah..." What a ruwaayad! Also from a scene in Cilmi iyo Caado, a drunk guy and his wife sing: "Waa su'aalee! Labadeena, reerka yaa u weynoo u ah waayeel?" "Waa wareeroow, waa jawaabee! Labadeena, anaa kaa weynoo kuu ah waayeel!" Darn!

Salaan... Acquaintances were in your apartment. The evening local news came up; it reported a murder scene. The news mentioned some vague suspect names, however the acquaintances told you the truth: The night before they killed that Sri Lanker victim on the news at his own business place, because he told them to go outside since they were fighting in his establishment. Possibly they might have been high. What would you do? Would you report to police? Or keep your mouth shut? This scenario occurred last week. A Soomaali brother was in that circumstance exactly. Those who perpetrated the crime were Soomaali. As any decent person would react instinctively, the Soomaali brother said, allegedly, he would report to authorities, and told them so in their face. He didn’t know that would be one of his last breaths. After ensuing much arguments {so far no body knows what happened exactly}, they stabbed him to death. The brother died in his apartment. They fled, some of their blood-soaked hands on the walls. A neighbour who was hearing the heated arguments called the police. This happened last Thursday. The four guys were detained not long after; two in the next night trying to escape on a public bus to Manitoba. The other two surrendered one at a time, the last on Sunday night. Ilaahey ha u naxariisto walaalkeen.

Xamar Jadiid isn't/wasn't an official name, but it roughly occupied/occupies half of Bakaaraha, wixii kasii koreeyana Bakaaraha weyba tahay, sida Baar Bakiin, Laba Dhagax, Shiirkole, Towfiiq, Isbartiibada iyo of course Jidka Sodonka, siiba dhanka aadaayo Huriwaa. Waxaas dhan Xamar Jadiid ee isku yihiin, maxaa yeelay wax la wada dhisay 1970s wixii ka danbeeye waaye, when Xamar expanded fast.
