Xariifka iga koreeyo: She didn't ask you to name your favourite dish or garment. She wants to know the equivalent of Soomaali Viagra. I think you misunderstood what she meant by "aphrodisiac." A subtle euphemism phrase for foods, drugs or even clothes that stimulate sexually arousing feelings. Well, in my opinion for garments, it is when my kinda girl wears a thin bright multi-coloured dirac {without the garbasaar is bonus}.

Salaan... Ilaahey aa mahad leh maxaa yeeley waligeey Washamsi ma la igu qaadin--aabaheey aa Quraanka noo dhigi jiray. We younger boys ma naloo ogoleyn dugsi Quraan because--and this was alleged--when the older sisters and brothers used to go to this particular dugsi Quraan an unfortunate incident happened. This macalin dugsi refused to allow this kid to go to musqul; he suspected the kid was lying and wanted to skip that day's dugsi. Unfortunately, the kid really needed a relief. Cunugii kaadida uu isku celiye and for the fear of macalinka, dugsiga dhexdiid maku dhex kaadin karin. Markuu dugsigii dhamaaday waxaa la arkay cunugii oo dhidid miiran. Ileen siduu kaadida iskugu celinaaye ayaa kaadida ku dhagtay. Dhakab. :mad: Cunugii isbitaal aa loola orday, saas uuna ku fakaday. When my aabo heard the episode, he really got enraged and vowed never to allow his children to attend any dugsi--he would instead be the macalin himself at home. Macsalaama.

Salaan... Don't you have their names? Ironically you stated their tribe, but not their individual names or family's. Most ciyaal xamar--when xamar was Xamar--never knew other ciyaal's qabiil, or at least necessarily knew the people's names before qabiil.

Salaan... Originally posted by bulo: i do not follow any madhab... I assume that you are a sister. So, what do you do when you pray? Do you cover your toes as Soomaali women do? Say you are married and your husband is gone missing, how long would you wait to remain in the marriage fold? Does your weeso become void by touching your husband? Again, would you re-do your weeso if you change your baby's diaper? If you vomit, is your weeso still valid? If you eat camel meat, do you do weeso all over again? Do you pray four rakaco after the first aadan at Jimco prayer at the masaajid? At the masaajid you go to communal Jimco prayer, is there one or two aadan? These are a tip of iceberg when it comes to know who follows whose madba. And it is not that easy to declare outright you don't follow any madba. Soomaali people do inherently follow Shaafici madba, even if you may not realize that. Shaafici madba have been said to be the most "moderate" madba of them all. Malaysia, Indonesia, Masar, Sudaan and Soomaaliya are the main countries that follow Imaam Shaafici madba collectively. Macsalaama.

Salaan... Little facts about Baydhabo Janaay and its vicinity before it became known as "City of Death" in early '90s. Produced the only international renown Soomaali author, Nuuradiin Faarax Its nearby town also produced one of the best Soomaali singers, Xasan Aadan Samatar, who was born in Diinsoor, Baay Was mainly one of few multi-qabiil cities around Soomaaliya, only Muqdisho and Kismaayo surpassed in that category. The only Soomaali city visited by a sitting or retired American president. George Bush Sr visited it briefly in 1992. Visited by Mary Robinson, former President of the Republic of Ireland. The gobol it located used to produce almost two-thirds of masago or maize in all Soomaali regions {ironically, with this natural food gift, I wonder how it even can became a city of starving}. Like Xamar, Baydhabo waala xumeeyi yaa xaal marinaayo. Macsalaama.

Salaan... ^^^Same like that; with all these fake smiles and misleading the hapless Soomaali people. Macsalaama.

Salaan... A rather great, nice article to read; however at this moment it also has downside. No wonder the governments in some of Western countries are trying to deport a lot of Soomaali people only because they read articles like this. There are also those afar-jeebliyaal who under the garment of being "official" from some regions of the country tell those countries that the country, or some part of it, is safe to return. No wonder we're finally seeing its implemention by Holland, New Zealand, Australia and Scandinavian countries wanting to deport Soomaali asylum seekers.

Salaan... Originally posted by nafta: ...i had this conversation with couple of African girls about Africa and ones culture, so to make a long thing short, one of the girls said that they didnt consider us Somalians as African. She said that because we don't have, and i quote "the nigger nose" or the "the jareer hair" They are slightly right. First, they are a bit confused about the difference between being an "African" and being among with "black race." But first, what and who is African? Is being an African synonymous with being skin-coloured black? Is an African in fact inseparable from a black-coloured person? In a way, a lot of Soomaalis themselves do not consider to be African or associate themselves with the black race. First, because some assumption--or rather misassumption--of African itself being synonymous with "black," hence "jareer" and "boon." Even if some Soomaalis are dark as dhuxul. Soomaali people equate black person to be "jareer." In order to distance themselves from jareer or black, they rather would not even want to do anything remotely that is African, even if Soomaaliya is located in the African continent. Then again, if Soomaali people never cared, these words might have never been everyday Soomaali vernacular: boon, bilis, jareer, nasab, laandheere, etc. Those insulting words are exclusively called to those people Soomaalis consider to be non-Soomaali original, and who have distinct facial features, with jareer hair. A simple fact: Xabasho from Itoobiya are considered to be jareer, while Oromos and Tigreys from Itoobiya too aren't. Some Soomaali people say if we are talking about geographical sense, yes then Soomaaliya the country is classified with the African continent. However, they also ask, would the whites from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia considered to be African in the black sense? Is Egyptian an African? A Moroccan? An Algerian? Is a Berber an African? Many of those Egyptians, Moroccans, Tunisians do not either consider themselves to be African in black sense. I don't even know whether Tigreys, Oromos and Cafars themselves consider to be African either. Some of the "Carab" Sudanese do not consider themselves to be African in the black sense, just same mentality like Soomaalis. I know, it is a bit complicated. And it sure will be as long as African and black can be assumed to be synonymous. Recently, a lot of people who grew up in Western countries are extremely aware the political correctness and say loudly they are "black, African" with an attitude of who-cares and whatever. But back home, Soomaalis do still classify with boon and bilis formula. Even if a "real" Soomaali looks like a jareer, he is still nasab and not "black." And if you want to know my personal opinion of who I consider to be myself, that is easy. I am Soomaali in first, second, and third senses. That is my ten taano.

Salaan... Globalization on my true personal perspective. I was born in a Soomaali hospital built by Italians, delivered by a German doctor, using possibly Russian equipment, brought home in a French car Citroën. Moved to Kenya using an American plane, landed on an airport built by British; lived houses owned by Kenyans. Attending school teachered by Rwandans with Indian majority students. Came to America on a Dutch airplane via Amsterdam with Belgian hostesses. And finally into Canada drinking Tim Hortons. Jaaw.

Salaan... I hope you aren't tricking us to do your homework. Let me see. 1.)

However, U.S. has 1.3 million prisoners, largest in the world. {20 words} 3) A strong earthquake on Southeast Lake Tahoe shook Northern California and West Nevada early yesterday morning. No heavy casualties were reported. {21 words} 4) A convenience store at Bank Street was robbed last night by an elderly woman; reasoning to feed her starving parentless grandchildren. {21 words} 5) Hundreds of disgruntled students, protesting against a new dress code by school, undressed at Woodroffe Avenue, causing a heavy traffic line-ups. {21 words} Jaaw.

Salaan... I'd lived that very racially polarized city of Baltimore for six months. On white areas, it is very beautiful, but the ghettoes? That is another story. There aren't many Soomaalis who live there, however some of those few who do are Soomaali Kenyaati. The only landmark that city can cherish is John Hopkins Hospital, a very famous state-of-the-art medical centre. There is no Soomaali maqaayad. No hanging out place for exclusively Soomaalis. In fact, Soomaalis from Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. itself go only to one maqaayad owned by Itoobiyaan located in Washington, D.C. Jaaw.
