Nuune, if you actually look at the site, you will realize it being not the official website of CAF. That "About Me" ayaaba ka arkeysaa that it is a personal webpage. Here's CAF's official site. Its official mentioned national members can be found here.
  2. Salaan... Well, let mee see. You said before the civil war, in that case, most famous hotels were concentrated in Xamar. Most carried local names, especially named after the owners. Hotels such: Hoteel Guuleed Hoteel Wehliye Hoteel Maka al Makurama Hoteel Shaamoow Hoteel Naasohablood Hoteel Jubba Hoteel Curaba [Our four-star rated hotel] Hoteel Towfiiq Hoteel Shabeelle That is all I can remember for now. Hoteel Curaba.
  3. And if you accumulate too much debt and that list didn't work for you: Buy one way ticket to Soomaaliya, preferably to a tuulo. A lot of people did, while Visa and Mastercard are still looking every Cabdi Faarax's social insurance background check, most of them are chilling in Buulo Dhuumasho.
  4. Salaan... Maxaa lagu heshiiye? Awalba qilaaf la arkaayo ma jirin, laakiin the two main obstacle points were: Bringing ciidamo shisheeye from Itoobiya [Yes? No. No? Yes.] Where the temporary the government's seat would be based. [Xamar? No. Jowhar? No.] Are these two hindrance issues resolved? I don't see. It seems C/llaahi Yuusuf is slowly forgetting his request of 20,000 African [itoobiyan] troops. Same with Shariifka. He seems he can finally think to work the parliament from outside Xamar. I think they will agree to Baydhabo. Awalba muxuu u diiday meeshaas, Shariifka? Jug jug meeshaada lee joog. International donors aa ruwaayad loo dhigoyaa. Both tuugsigooyaa waxaa loogu jawaabi jiray "heshiiya." Anybody who reads the "official agreement" can easily detect the fine little print of it addressing to international bodies. I pray inay dowladaan wax isku raacdo kasoo baxaan. Dowlad la'aan abaar waaye. And every time baraf with bone-breaking wind chill socdo ayaan soo xasuustaa dalkeena hooyo. I can't really live here another 15 years.

Hogaamiye kooxeed aan daneysto ahayn maba jiro. To be honest you are right howevr one must never presume to always occupying the moral highround. For we have in this forum cheerleaders for ina Salad boy the man who as president only strengthened the illegal occupation of his clan.Now we learn the activities of which includes drug smuggling.. A man who as we know served the brutal regime of Siyad with undying love even when, Hargaysa was bombed and then as President took shelter with his sub-clan while the Somali people suffered. Those who cheered for this man have no moral right to point fingers at others, for he is worse than any.. Widaaygiis, I agree. But I would like you to bring forward the "cheerleaders for ina Salad boy." I honestly didn't see my four years spent in this discussion board any obsessed "cheerleader" of C/qaasin, safe the odd qabiil-obsessed one here and there.
  6. Horta daneysi haddey noqoto xaaladu, waxaa la oran karaa qabqable kasta dad u khaasa ayuu leeyahay oo isku daneesato ah... Nuune, u sheeg. Laakiin dadka qaarkiis ma jeclo inay arkaan oona iska indha tiro, xataa the father of stoogenimo oo Sanaawi u shaqeeyo waala iska indha tiraa. Kan kale Kismaayo lagu haayo oo curyaan ku ah, waala og yahay dadka qaarkood meeshaan iska indha tiraayo. Kuwaas daneysto ma'aha? Their supporters waxee u yihiin "shrew politicians." Hogaamiye kooxeed aan daneysto ahayn maba jiro. Imagine if Shariifka conceded and agreed to move to Jowhar, I am sure in this board waxaa lala alalaasi lahaa, "Oo Qanyare oo Xamar ku xanaaqsan ayaa dirsaday and that is why he conceded finally..." I, however, wouldn't call him the man of the year, though. The guy is really confused. Kuwa Xamar ku wareeriye; globetrotting ayuu ka bixi waaye, oo marba diyaarad meel u saaran, meel hawshiisa ahayna u socdo. Maba oga shaqadiis inay baarlamaan ku eg tahay. Laakiin the guy sida ee rabeen certain people ma noqon. Dhuunta uu u galay, thinking his position is nothing but the useless title in name of "guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka."
  7. Salaan... Barwaaqo/Aerowen/Ahura, can you baliis tell these ladies that the boy isn't really me. Nothing with him; he is an older brother. The fact is, he isn't me. Kuli fidna Adena ayaa keentay. The only person that is right is Bishaaro, though where we've met wasn't at Eaton. I am the grinning gentleman standing at the back with the black shirt. Stoic, haa brother. It is a simplistic dress that doesn't cost much, and on the top of that has a relevant cultural history to us. I don't understand why maryooleey spend too much on a one-time-use "taash" and suits. It just doesn't add up. I always admired this aroos, but sad thing was that night I and other kids weren't allowed to attend it. I was so maaaaaaaaaaaaad, wailing and shrieking the whole night, finally when my mother gave me a hundred shilin. I was still crying when I slept and woke up finding myself sleeping at outside. Quruxleey, I hope your aroos will be like that.
  8. Salaan... Xoogsade, this so-called Banaadir council ineen shaqeynin awalba waala ogaa. However, it was a first anything the majority of warlords agreed to form. It failed before it began because Max'ed Qanyare, and Muuse Suudi too, was tricked. In the warlordom of the backroom qabyaalad politics, it was agreed there should be no legitimate election, that waxaa sheekada lagu qeybsanaa a la 4.5 qabyaalad ratio. The election would only be a window-dressing. Waxa qeybsanaayo waxee ahayeen "1" full clan; this clan's sub-clans agreed which each gets. It was agreed Muuse Yalaxoow's clan would both get the guddoomiyaha and duqa magaalada titles. Other clans will get sub-titles. If this didn't work, Qanyare agreed to plan B: His sub-clan was allowed to get the guddoomiyaha degmada portfolio, regardless of anything. Well, a certain sub-clan switched the light and tried to overthrow the agreed backroom politics. In the world of warlord's domain, Qanyare was cheated squarely and has every reason to be mad. There was no fair election either, because the guy who was supposed to challenge didn't participate and boycotted it. Those who voted are powerless in Xamar. On the top of that was bribed. Have you noticed why there was no candidate from Muuse Suudi's clan? Waxii la isku raacay baa meesha laga saaray. Another thing, historically speaking, with exception of few instances, the mayor of Muqdisho always belonged to two clans who founded and lived the town and nawaaxigeeda: Reer Xamar and Yalaxoow's major clan. Hadee dhab ka tahay this council Reer Xamarkii Xamar dhisay, oo found gareeye two seats mala siyeen, kuwii gobolada dhexe ka yimaadeyna triple of that. It just doesn't make sense, though in this twisted Soomaali world of the more gun one owns, the more that clan gets.
  9. Salaan... First time I came across this Ayr Rand person was a couple years ago, on an article about the Wikipedia founder, who obviously in a way worshipped her wishing of minimalist intervention by the authorities about human activies and to which he applied to his Wikipedia site's fundamental philosophy. He insists she and he both aren't anarchist, but her works point she is, in fact, bordering being one. She instead calls her works "objectivism," as opposed to anarchism. An objectivism is a combination of libertarianism and minarchism (both which seem to be same), as she alludes. I think she would've been perfectly happy to live a place like the current situation in Soomaaliya.
  10. Maskiin, you are Maskiin, you know nothing, Thank god My name is not OOW, I wonder what Fowdo and oow share, AHA its the ow they Obviously, your lack of Soomaali language is evident. Let me take an opportunity to educate you about he suffix "oow" and where it derived from. Oow derives from the Soomaali word of 'aw,' which in turn means something or someone old; sometimes it refers to lineage, especially when it is used in the context of "awoowe" and "abtirsi" (ab is the same as aw, Soomaalis sometimes pronounce differently, though same meaning). It also sometimes means "the father of..." Awdal [aw dal], for example, means the "father of nation." It was aptly named that because that region has a deep history. If it is suffix, aw mostly becomes oow. It mostly follows Soomaali nicknames, sometimes too to real names. So when you hear "gaaboow," know it means "the father of shortness." [it is not literal, but the guy is obviously too short.] Same with Yalaxoow, meaning the "father of timo jileec." Not literal meaning, again. Anyway, before you despise your own Soomaali words, learn them beforehand, Mr. "Scientist".
  11. Salaan... Koleey meeshaan quuqdeeda waa badatay. I thought it would thaw down, kadareey ee noqotay. Laakiin waxa la isku heysto ilaa hada ma kasin. Dadka qaarkood ayaaba ku wareeray jilbaab iyo xijaab. Jilbaab iyo xijaab laba sheey ayee kala yihiih, at least from Soomaali perspective. Culimo adduunka dhamaantood waxa waajib ah la isku raacay waa xijaab, not jilbaab. Yaala wareerin. Jilbaab wadaado isku raacday sida uu u eg yahay lama haayo ilaa maanta. Waa taas reer Afganistaan "burqa" ugu waco oo different design; waa taas reer Khaliijka "abbaayo" ugu waco oo sidoo kale ka gadisan; waa taas reer Iiraan "jadoor" ee dhahaan. All these jilbaabo ma isku si baa loo design gareeye? Waa maya. Teeda kalena jilbaab hadaa qaadaneysid, it should have been colourless, mostly black. Kee Soomaalida gishtaana kalarkiis ayaa indhaha kaa qabanaayo. Taloow ma oga since most of our people, indeed our sisters, aren't dadka wax aqriyo, but ku xiran "hebel baa yiri." If only a small percentage had had read what Sacuudi-trained Sheekhyada ee ka dhageystaan, wee ogaan lahayeen that some of their qudbooyin are narrowly interpreted to suit their agenda. Alas, they took advantage our people's traditonal "i maqalsii" culture. Soomaalida had their own "version" before the war. That version was garbasaar. It fullfilled what was needed from xijaab. Wadaadii waagaas jirayna ku raacay, not the later-day, seefta banaanka, Sacuudi-trained ones. Is garbasaar not xijaab? Does it not fullfill xijaab's requirement? Seef laboodnimada iyo seefta banaanka ma fiicno. Hala iska ilaaliyo. Wixii fundamentalka Diinta ka baxsan, mabda' ayaa jiro, oo waala is qilaafi karaa micno kuma fadhiso. Dhiibo mabda'aa, ka soco. I had this friend who used to think South Asian women's prayers aren't acceptable. Why? Because he saw them leave their toes and ankles open when they pray. The guy obviously didn't know mabda' in uu jiro, that we follow Shaafici and they follow Xanafi. Dad baa leh the old regime didn't allow iskoolada iyo kuliyada kale in xijaab lagu tago. That is ridiculous. My sister used to wear "xijaab"--sifaleeti with garbasaar and no body bothered while attending Kuliyada Lafoole. Now, since we are into this enforcement, let's see why a six or five year-olds are forced to wear this jilbaabs at school? Why? Do they have a choice? No. I was in Xamar, and I had seen my nieces wearing it. I inquired why ee u qabaan. They said it is school uniform policy, and they have no choice. Dhididka ka socday Eebbe baa og, and wouldn't wanted to wear had they had a chose. Yes, talk about choosing, as some here are saying those who wear it by choice. Yeah. Talk about compulsion and enforcement. Officials at some schools cannot even tolerate a certain hair-cut styles, expelling those who cut their hair like "Westerners." Al Itixaad didn't work in Soomaaliya. We all know why. Their intolerance was intolerable. In early to mid '90s, they controlled the small town of Luuq. Initially they were welcomed, but their continued rigidity was the last nerve that got on Soomaalis, who are inherently anarchist republic, that lived in that small town. They even welcomed the Itoobiyans who kicked the Al Itixaads. It didn't either work in Bari. Maanta ayeeyooyinkeena ayaa loo giliye, oo loogu sheekeye "xijaabka kaliya la aqbalaayo inuu yahay jilbaab." Ayeeyooyinkeena baariga iska eh iska qaatay. Jilbaab is just one version of xijaab, not synonymous with xijaab. Garbasaar, as it covers what is required, is one version of xijaab. Dadka qaarkood waxaaba u maleysaa hadalkooda siduu u eg yahay in xataa diinteena suuban soo baxday wixii ka dambeeye 1991. Eebboow na cafi. Waaka baxay.
  12. I knew Aamiin Caamir since 1991 when his political cartoons were printed by Shabeelle Press. I remember purely buying that particular paper for his cartoons. Anyway, I never thought he was painting in '70s.
  13. Gaabow, Yaloxow, Tootow, and now Roobow Gaaboow, Yalaxoow, Tootoow, Rooboow and other "oow" are authentic Soomaali names. "Scientist" isn't.
  14. Quruxsanaa! Waayo waayo iga dheh. Xataa xasuustii iskoolada see u dhisnaayeen, darbiga wareegsanaa, ganjeelka weynaa, ar maxaa ganjeel xiran dhexdiis isku cariirinay inaan iskoolka u gambino. Socodka aaba i dilay, xataa. Lugta sida loo qaadaayo fiiri? Shaati jaalo iyo surwaal kaaki maxaa loo xiisay. Jaceylnimada ka dhaxeyso. Igaartaan taloow manooshahay? Hadee nooshahayna saan ma u egtahay wali?
  15. Salaan... The Arabs used to refer to the Somali inhabited lands as "Ardul-Soo-maal", hence where the British got "Somaliland" from. Carabta dhulka Soomaalida dhan dagan ayee "Ardu Soomaal," wax, oo gobolo maku ekeyn. This itself attests the partial independence and nationhood of Soomaalis before gumeysi came. There was no such thing as a land that was officially refered to as Somalia prior to the Italian colonisers. There was such a land called Soomaali intee gumeysidoon imaan. Kii Gaarisa joogay iyo kii maanta meesha Jabuuti la dhaho joogay knew one another inay Soomaali yihiin oo qof iskaga xigo jirin.This is what the gumeysidoon recognized as well, indeed each calling their own carved land "Soomaali" something. If Europeans meeting in Germany in late 19th century can in fact recognize those lands were inhabited by Soomaalis. That speaks volumes. Soomaali history certainly didn't start with gumeysidoon. The important thing, even if the gumeysidoon hadn't recognized that fact, is Soomaalis recognized themselves and knew where each inhabited. They may not had had a centrally organized government, but there certainly was an imagined border. Lest ee duulaan qolo kale shisheeye ku qaadaan and thus expand some land ma'ahee, inta kale wee ogaayeen where their land was. Today looks the same, only with more weapons and more so-called adminstrations. Those nomads freely go to and fro Soomaali Galbeed or NFD even today. I have a question which is remotely somewhat related to the topic at hand. If the origin of "Somali" is said to be from the word "Soo maal", then I was wondering where the "i" in "Somali" came from? It sounds like an import to me. Any idea? Soomaali language follows the common pattern of some Cushitic/Semitic speakers adding commonly an "i" suffix at the end of some nouns, particularly when it comes to nationality. Examples: Ciraaqi, Masri, Sacuudi, Yemeni, Suudaani, Kuwaiti, Israeli, Armeni, Cumaani, Turki, Baxreyni, Falastiini, Iirani, Qadari, Jabuuti, Hindi, et cetera, et cetera. I firmly believe gumeysi has nothing to do with our name Soomaaliya. And I firmly as well believe it was there before the Talyaaniga called the South "Somalia Italiana." Soomaaliya can possibly be found in Soomaali language, and it cannot be compared a downright foreign name like "Soomaaliland." I would rather take Soomaalistan anyday than that blatant colonial name. And keep in mind, lest we forgot, about a region called "Oromia" or as Oromos call "Oromiya." Since they have the closest sister language to Soomaali, and the "Oromiya" finely fits the pattern of Soomaaliya, what about it? Was it as well named by Talyaaniga in their brief control of the most Horn? Methinks not.

  17. Waa salaamantihiin, aqiyaareey. Tolstoy, let me ask you a hypothetical question: Do you think Daahir Riyaale Kaahin, if given an opportunity to join, even as an observer, would hesitate than immediately and proudly join? What would your personal opinion be if he and his adminstration did join?
  18. Salaan... I had a sister who had a very traditional wedding back in the day when it was rarest of the rare to have a traditional, Soomaali-style dress wedding. I always admired that wedding. It was in 1988. What the heck, since I've a picture on the PC, let me share it with you. My sister's aroos, in 1988. It was held at Hotel Jubba [not the scene in this picture]. [Enjoy before it is removed. And noo, the boy isn't me. ]

  20. Originally posted by juba: somalia is italian?? i thought SOO MAALIA meant "to milk" = soo maal ofcourse meaning to milk the camel. The camel is so much a part of our life that it became a part of our countries name! thats what i've been told :confused: What they are talking about isn't the whole word, e.i Soomaali, but the added suffix xaraf [letter] of "a" at the end. Since we called ourselves Soomaali time immemorial, however when Talyaanis arrived, they added a suffix letter "a" at the end, to call their carved part of the country "Soomaalia Italiana." It isn't proven that much, though some Soomaalis assume. It is possible we Soomaalis might have used Soomaaliya before they arrived, too.

  22. The last time I listened the reporter in London was speaking to someone ( a leader in Baidoa) and everytime the dude (he attempted to speak in mainstream somali) used a few words from his mother tongue, the reporter mocked him!!! Recently, I was told, Yuusuf Garaad himself interviewed one of the malaaqs down there. What was surprising is Yuusuf Garaad af Maxaa Tiri ayuu ku wareesanaaye, malaaqana af Maay ayuu ku jawaabaaye. Faham la'aan ayee ku dhamaatay. Waaba markii koowaad full time featured interview af Maay laga maqlo BBC. To those who are interested Yuusuf Garaad Cumar's impressive educational background, inta riix. I visited Bush House in the spring of 2003. Sawirkaan aa kasoo qaaday. Qolka laga broadcast gareeyo waaye. In this particular picture, the evening broadcast, as the clock on the wall indicates, was already in process. The two newsreader gentlemen's names, if I recall, were Aadan Nuux on the left and C/risaaq.
  23. Salaan... Apparently our Soomaali name is dragged into a conflict with people and nation we have never had a word of disagreement with, let alone a fight. The Eritrean and Soomaali people were always mutually friendly against a common enemy. The common enemy, though, now remote-controls Soomaali's head of state, who is incapable of doing anything but follow the directives from Addis Ababa. (L to R) Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Sudan's President Lt Gen Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Somalia's President Abullahi Yusuf Ahmed talk in the southern Yemeni city of Aden December 28, 2005. The summit of the Sanaa Forum for Cooperation group is set to discuss means to boost joint security and economic cooperation between the four states. It may diplomatically called Sanca Forum, but its objectives are clear: The founding three members of the group all have conflicts, including land and sea border disputes, with Eritrea one way or another, and are willing to use force against to subdue it. It is a clear reason why Jabuuti is ostensibly not a member of that group. Same with Eritrea, who was never invited lest it thinks it didn't understand the Forum's mission. We don't have to make unnecessary adversary in our hour of need.

I remember that website complaining BBC doesn't have a reporter in Baydhabo and relies heavily Xasan Bariise in Xamar. Apparently, it listened and trained a local wariye from there now. Are they satisfied? No. It is a known fact, however, BBC cannot afford to have every degmo to have a wariye of its own. That is impossible. Another popular dacaayad is that Yuusuf Garaad wuxuu u janjeeraa dhanka Muqdisho wing and doesn't kowtow to C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed. The third allegation made by his fiercest opponents is: Since he is a shareholder in HornAfrik Media Inc., he might have a conflict of interest. Maybe or maybe not. Don't forget to add waagacusub.com to that list too. That site is run by a paranoid who had apparently never heard what libel is, fabricating bogus after bogus stories, some unbelievable. That webmaster has a personal grudge against Yuusuf Garaad because Yuusuf sub-clan uu ka dhashay ayuu aad u necebyahay. What all of this tells us is, in fact, Yuusuf Garaad is on the right tract, if every tribal section's falaar aiming at him. I have my own personal opinion about that broadcast. I don't listen to it that much, but I honestly believe Yuusuf Garaad had done much to it than his predecessor, C/llaahi Xaaji. He expanded the organization, broadcasting three times a day, including one full hour. He diversified the place, currently boasting the most diverse staff ever. He added other programs that deal taboo topics and social issues. And when he personally interviews qabqabliyaasha, he reserves them the most harsh questions. Before he came around, they used to think it was their right place of free publicity to advertise their tribal beliefs without expecting tough questions. They are now shy to even want to be interviewed by him.
