Salaan... "Students and lecturers are sometimes forced to lie down in between lectures and even during examinations as rival factions exchange fire," said one of the school's founders, Hussein Iman. My man, Xuseen Macalin Iimaan. A funny man, always emphasizing the importance of education, collectively and personally, how it improves societies, especially one like ours. My brother-in-law, excellent job. I remember in early '90s, him working Oxfam organization, one day the family and officials of Oxfam from abroad were travelling to a particular farm in Shabeelaha Hoose. [i will never forget the diversity of food I ate and witnessed that day, and the shock faces of gaalada. They couldn't believe we're fighting a senseless civil war anagoo dhul saas u barwaaqeysan, oo saas u diversity eh qabno.]. Anyway, anagoo socono, oo sadex baabuur kolonyo ah ku jirno with the usual tikniko, intaa jidka ku jirnay mid kamid ah gaaladii aa dhahay baabuurka joojiya. He wanted to inspect some trees, possibly liimo dhanaan trees. They were geedo qalalay oo aboor galay. The funny episode was one of the militias baabuurka korsaarnaa laughed hard, and said in a paraphrase: "War gaalkaan cawaanka ah fiiriya, bal maanta geed buu fiirinayaa oo waqtigiis iskaga qaadayaa. Alle, gaalada maxaa ka doqonsan." Honestly, most of us might have agreed with him, but Xuseen, a trained agriculturist from Berkeley, ayaa runta u sheegay the only doqon around is...you can guess it.

Salaan... Run maala isku sheego Soomaaliya argagaxiso waa joogtaa. Weena joogeen wixii ka danbeeye 1991. Argagaxisnimo shaleey masoo bixin, laakiin waxaa igu daran maanta markii ereygaas laga hadlaayo maxee muuqaalkeena sidii gaalada camal u noqday: Wadaadadii argagaxiso loogu koobay, oo kii waranlaha ahaa meeshaba ka muuqan? Aniga argagaxiso iyo wax ka daran waxaan u aqaanaa kii wax kufsanaayo, dilaayo, boobaayo, dhul xalaaleysanaayo, dadkii dhulkaas lahaana adoomo ka dhigtay. Aniga argagaxiso waxaan u aqoonsanahay nin dhulkii Eebbe bini aadenkiis ugu nimceeye dhirta xad dhaafnimo ku jaraayo oo maadarooyin ku beeraayo, bada sunta ku shubaayo, daawooyin dhacay dalka keenaayo oo la iska ilooway in jiilka mustaqbalka soo koraayo ay xaq u lee yihiin dhul barwaaqeysan, bad naafisan iyo gayi nabadeesan. Fowdadaas iyo wax ka daran ayaan u aqaanaa argagaxiso. Waxaas iyo wax ka darana kuwa u horbooda, oo had iyo jeer dadka kale ugu waco argagixiso ayaa sameeyo iyo taageerayaashooda. Su'aasha waxee tahay: Yaa isku aqoonsan argagaxiso?

Salaan... United Soomaali Congress [uSC] had a noble, plan A goal: To topple the regime. This goal received wide support, and whoever that didn't like this goal should have known booli qaran would never last. Then Soomalis at large were waiting when plan A was successful, what was the next step, the next plan. Unfortunately, it shared something vital with other qabiil-based jabhado: That it had no other plan. Naturally, in the absence of a plan, there was what we thought wrongly was plan B, an unintended plan that turned to be worse than what the regime was doing. Since there never was plan B, what happened next was unfocused, directionless, uncommanded killing, rampaging and bililiqo. And finally when it got to what we still think was plan C (if it was at all), in the mayhem it completely lost the plot by huntig a particular qabiil's members, murdering them in broad daylight, occupying others lands, enslaving the natives of these lands. USC and other jabhado's legacy? I hope you are not going to ask that.

Salaan... If Soomaalis were equally as frank, as honest when it comes to marrying their own kind, their own ostracized communities as they are to shisheeye. If only as many Soomaalis in this thread were openly advocating marrying the people whose heritage hails from Madhibaan, Jareerweyne, Yaxar or Yibir. If only. And marrying ajnabi because s/he happened to be Muslim isn't something to rush. Hido iyo dhaqan plays a very vital major role. Besides of your own waalid not having directly to communicate the prospected spouse. There were many that fell apart because those sisters who married shisheeye wanted to send some financial support to relatives at back home or elsewhere; the sisheeye husbands tolerated the first and second occasions; however when it got routine their true colours came out: Why do you have to send "my" money to distant [read: her own parents, brothers, sisters] relatives? We need to save the money, invest...you, the children and I are alone in this family. Ka fiirso intaadan iskaga ordin shisheeye.

Salaan... Blog, the latest fad of the internet. It will disappear in due course, just as did the not long ago "personal page" fads of "geocities" and "angelfire" of mid to late '90s. I can still remember how many maryooleey had those personal pages.

There are also those who argue that Christmas has little to do with Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, and more to do with Santa Claus. It is true, "Christmas" has nothing to do with ahlul kitaab people. It has nothing to do with true Christianity. The true followers of Nasared religion [Christianity] know this, as attested by the followers such as Jehovah's Witnesses' faith. Hadeeba gaaladii isku aqoonsanayn dhexdooda, maxaa Muslimka hawshooda ka dhigay? Is this how "moderate Muslim" is supposed to behave today? Respect it today, what next? Celebrate? Buy a "Christmas" tree? Many "moderate Muslims" do this already, including a Soomaali jaamac in this city who not long ago bought for his family a "Christmas" tree and its whole six yard gift package because he wanted his children to be like just any other kid. (Gaaladii are even bickering about whether to call it a "holiday" tree to make it more "inclusive.") I have no respect to a celebration whose questionable originality is pagan, which was recognized by true followers of the religion which it purports to celebrate. They have no reverence for it, neither should I.

Vile, despicable, disgusting words will never be condoned in this place.

Salaan... This may seem to some of you amusing, but we are witnessing--and fairly even other species we dwell with are noticing--is the slow destruction dhirta, and these regions being foremost of Soomaaliya's breadbasket. Mirihii ka bixi jiray deegaankaas, such Shabeelooyinka and Jubbooyinka are slowly disappearing. Now drought is regular, unheard in those gobolo before the war. For example, the ruination of geedaha cambaha, which takes six years to grow maturely at minimum, is astonishing. Inconsiderate, self-centred people worshipping nothing but guns and slaving the unarmed natives of those deegaan--these people only see nothing but that pitiful income coming from dhuxusha waxee ka sameeyaan. Geed cambo isn't an ideal tree used as as charcoal and, to make it worse, importing them to Carabta. When we eventually get Saxarada like dhulka Carabta, I don't know what they will see by then. They turned to geedaha cambaha because they uprooted all other trees that could possibly be made from charcoal. It really saddens me. There is no prominent, outspoken environmental organizations in the South that I know of. Obviously, those daanyeero waxee cunaan markee waayeen, including cambihii and other fruits ee ku noolaan jireen, ayaa duurka kasoo saaray. We used to boast to having the "best" tasteful banana in the world. We can no longer even suggest that if you had seen our bananas today. They can't even get that colourful yellow enough anymore.

Nice to see the noble flag strategically placed in the centre, right next and between the shahaada and takbiir flags.

Caano geel iyo hilib geel waala kasay, laakiin Sprite ku dar, hadana liimo dhanaan...that is qaras iyo laabjeex. Ar tooreey waa u xiisay. Ka cabso!

Those languages share plenty of words, including wukun/ukun, liiq/luuq, gal/gal, dalaal/dilaal qasaare/qasar, gaashaa/gaashaan aada/caado, and not least canjeero and dooro. It is possible the Amxaaro borrowing the word from us, Cushitic people, whose members speak the dominant langauges in the Horn, and then changing the ingredients to make a lighter version of canjeero called "injera." We give too much credit to others, where it is never appreciated; it is about time we need to credit ourselves appreciatively once. Most Cushitic languages--Soomaali, Oromo, Cafar, Saho-- have the word canjeero, though they may differ how it is made. And for your information, "digaag" is a borrowed, foreign word.

Originally posted by Jomaana: Me dont like hairy men.... :rolleyes: Thank god we are not Arabs ...or indians . Maybe god didnt bless us with their hair texture but i rather live with african hair any day of the week than facial hair that needs a deadly wax job. Are you sure you are Soomaali? Our sisters have no problem with their beautiful hair (no faking and stinking baruuko extended), unlike the majority of the other races who are obsessed to death how to soften and relax their hair. Not our sisters. God bless them all.

Horn, there is nothing to be taken out of context. It was plainly there, calling him "god-like" who saved "your" people from...God knows from what. Since we are into "taking out of context," let me remind you some other points you made earlier. One time [and this has nothing to do with this topic] you wrote that the suuqa Ceelgaab located in Columbus was named after a tuulo in Galgaduud or somewhere else, not after the famous Ceelgaab of Xamar. Am I wrong on this? Perhaps the other Ceelgaab right here in Koronto is named after that tuulo, I guess. Another point you made right here on this forum was loosely alluding Columbus, Ohio, having a "tribal cannotation," and those who were criticizing the city per se, in your view, were indirectly criticizing that clan. This misinformation is beyong astonishing now. Perhaps I think it was that warrior Tecumseh's clan that settled there, what was it? Cherokee? Huron? I told you to stop listening pastime, living room conversations. It may confuse you at best, and at worse it may make you...[you can finish it up]. Anyway, to you, Barre Hiiraale isn't warlord. Not surprising.

Salaan... Guilt = Damqi [damqad] Waraa, maka damqaneysid miyaa? [Don't you feel guilt] Wife = Oori, xilo, maranti, xaas, arad, bilcaan iyo afo. Plus the informal "naag." Intaas oo erey jiro and few of you know. Ar af Soomaali maxaa kas la isku iloowsiiye.

And as for Xaabsade, he is marax seenbari marax ah, same like that Shaaticagaar or Shaatimadoowe or whatever shirt they have on. They aren't only warlords, but jaahilnimo ayaa ugu darsamatay.

I think I forgot to ask an essential, basic question. IS "god-like, respected and honoured" Barre Hiiraale a warlord? If no, war dhamaaday. If yes, we might... And for this quote, I couldn't resist: ...the deegaan of Jamaame itself was majority "reer Gedo" And thanks for the laugh! Living room History 101 [the best recorded courtesy of adeer waxaas yiri idaacad]. Perhaps you meant, I guess, by "reer Gedo," you were referring to reer Baardheere and Luuq, not reer Buuloxaawo or Garbahaareey.

To say again; to Miskiin, the ilk you are representing their interests in this forum and the one you seem to think I am representing are "Dal iyo Dasheed". To him, they are two sides of the same coin that have no reason for being there. I hate qabyaalad. Do not make it qabyaalad issue, and do not misintepret me for your own favourism, widaay. The point is, have you agreed that warlord, Barre Hiiraale, has no business in Kismaayo? I am not suggesting this because of his qabiil. That is preposterous. What I am referring to is where he is from. The man admits being born somewhere in Galgaduud, that he had had possibly never lived in Jubbooyinka before the war, no? Can you refute this? Same with Moorgan, a man who was born in Qardho. He too has no business in Kismaayo. It isn't because of qabiil. Noo. Uunlaaye and his family, for example, can claim Kismaayo, and I would've supported their right to all along. The question, again, isn't, either, about reer Afmadoow. They are a true residents of Jubbooyinka, they live there; they cultivate the land; they are true native residents. They do live in several degmooyin, including Badhaadhe, Libooy, and Afmadoow. They also live in Baardheere. Illustrate to us one "degmo" that Barre Hiiraale's family [you can read it as clan if you want] live in Jubbooyinka, both gobol? Has his family or close relatives ever lived in Jilib? Jamaame? Qooqaani? Saakoow? Bu'aale? Xagar? Iskaba dhaaf Afmadoow iyo Libooy. Dhabta ha laga hadlo. Yaala is indha tirin. Waxaan aniga kasoo horjeedo is nin meel kale kasoo duulay hadana anagoo soo jeedno oo miirkeena qabna raba inuu na marsiiyo ama naga dhaadhacsiiyo that he is a native of Kismaayo. And if you believe that, I don’t blame you, laakiin fikradaas hala imaan mahaan without being refuted. I know where this forceful clanization of Kismaayo is leading to, which I rightly believe to be a pipe dream: "Jubbaland." A dream that envisions a forceful expulsion of the peaceful, centuries-old local residents. And I have told you this before: There won't ever be "Jubbland," believe in me. Why? Because Jubbooyinka, unlike other autonomous "lands," Soomaali dhan ayaa equal u dagan, hadee majority timaadana waala og yahay dadka ku badan, the so-called minority people, such as Baajuun iyo Jareerweyne. People, by force or diplomatic, try to occupy others' lands all the time, nonetheless they eventually give up. Jubbooyinka, including Kismaayo, is no different. I don’t like muran milaa micno daro ah, laakiin waxyaabaha aad lasoo shirtageysid at least have the audacity to support such extreme claims.

Originally posted by Kashanre: Aspects of his militiamen were spilling blood to liberate areas ranging in length from Gaalkacyo to Kismaayo; yes Xiin, Kismaayo. Afterwards the man did not engage in the rampant warlordism that was taking ahold of every region in the former Somali Republic. He even sat down from the politics of Gedo and Cabudwaq, because he had no reason to engage in self glory and take advantage of the people. As a very respected and honored man Maaaaan, this is... The man is a warlord, qabqable iyo dagaal-ooge, for Eebbe's sake. A warlord man and "respected and honoured" man labada gees ayee kala joogaan. It is impossible the same man to be compatible. He is an occupier too; he occupies Kismaayo and its vicinity. That he is an occupier cannot be questioned by a reasonable person. He has absolutely nothing to do with deegaankaas. If he can claim Jilib or Kismaayo, I might as well claim Wisconsin and be an Ojibwe clansman. As outlandish as it is. He was born and bred somewhere up in Galgaduud, and were he figthing up there "liberating" his lands... no body would pay attention, but do NOT misrepresent a warlord to be a savior. I also remember your fingers slipping one time not in that distant, calling that warlord a "god-like" figure, which, if it is not downright blasphemous, would have been unheard in Soomaali politics. Whether "respected or honoured," the man, again, is a warlord and occupies a land he has absolutely nothing to do with, same like Moorgan, Indhacadde and others. There is utterly no reason to justify this occupation and nothing differences it from the occupation of Shabeellada Hoose.
