Salaan... Some of the things humans believe is beyond... Many Americans fell for such scams in early 2000s. I never thought, however, a qamarji Soomaali would be that close to fall such a scheme. Alle u baahnoow, noo sheeg marka, meeqa kaa qasaartay besides the cost of that long distance card?

Salaan... You know we can't go on taking the TTC for life. What is wrong with TTC? And why I always happen to defend this institution? TTC is great, especially with current all-new shining buses. I am glad gas prices are into their $1.20s a liter. Now, they are behaving like decent Europeans (who already experienced the pain of gas prices years ago), buying, as a recent report says, in toto "smart" cars that use little gases and are environmentally friendly. I tell you, it is about time those gigantic, ugly SUVs were taken out of the roads. Dameerka Dixon, aka Vans, will be next. All those barbaratooy caashooyin with their Dameerka Dixons won't be far behind, I hope.

Salaan... You say they were original clans. So why are there several non-Somali Cushitic languages prevelant in the groups. Languages such as Maay, Jiido, Dabare, Tunni, and Af-Garre (a clearly Oromo language sub-branch), Mushunguli, and Swahili ? Language is clearly one of the most important aspects of a specific culture. Horn, I know realized you need to understand the very basic foundation of what we have at hand. I overlooked this fact. I am bringing this because in bizarreness you brought the Sawaaxili and Mushunguli languages now. This fact speaks laudly you are novice when it comes to this region (and you claim to hail from some parts of Gedo? ). No clan member of Maay-speaking clans speak af Sawaaxili or Mushunguli languagues. They all speak af Maay. Maay is as diverse as Maxaa Tiri, for there are countless dialects. Reer Afgooye wouldn't understand much if they encounter Reer Luuq. The members of particular clan-named languages you've listed, however, all speak af Maay in lingua franca. Mushunguli, the people, and other Bantu tribes that live in Jubbooyinka and Shabeelada Hoose, speak af Maay as lingua franca as well, as recent arrivals of United States can attest. That doesn't mean they are member of Maay-speaking clans. They aren't. Most of them also speak af Maxaa Tiri. However, since most lost their original Bantu languages, they now only speak Maay and nothing else. Mushunguli tribe is the only tribe that retained their original Bantu language. First, now, going back to the subject of af Maay. First of all, I believe, firmly, af Maay is a dialect of af Soomaali, just as the other sister dialect being af Maxaa Tiri. Maay’s relationship to af Oromo today is perceived to be close because af Maxaa Tiri lost a substantial number of words, substituted in by other foreign words borrowed from other languages, mainly Carabi, Ingiriis and Talyaani. Af Maxaa Tiri itself were at one time as close to Oromo as to Maay; however, losing much of its original words made it a distant to af Oromo, Soomaali's closest cousin language. It was Maay-speaking tribes that early came contact with Oromo tribes in much of South. The originality of why Oromos were called "gaalo" comes in this equation. It is said Oromos were nomadic people with huge camels. Upon seeing this, they were immediately called gaalo because of their vast camels. (Geel derives from gaal, as it is still used in af Maay.) This word, gaal, stuck, and Soomaalis started calling any foreigner with foreign beliefs gaal, thus later applying to gumeysigii reer Yurub. The particular languages you mentioned may have been the other way around, losing their original Soomaali words to Oromo since these languages were the most heavily interacted with Oromos in deep interiors of south, particularly in jungles of Qoryooleey, Ceelwaaq, Baraawe, and Kismaayo. One language was further particularly influenced by af Barawaani, itself consisting mainly Sawaaxili. The issue of "Soomaalization" of Maay-speaking tribes, I tried to reason you before how is that possible when Maay words themselves penetrated those of other Soomaali qabiils names if they were "Soomaalinized" themselves? How is this possible? With that in hand, and while you are insisting some clans descending from an unproven mythical originality, how can they "Soomaalinize" others if their very Soomaalinimo insecurity is apparent. And speaking of this, the clan of Guddoomiyaha Baarlamaanka, Shariif Xasan, claims not only to descent from Carab, but right into the Prophet’s household. They claim they are the children of Xasan and Xuseen. Their elder men take the title 'shariif' because they are the children of that sharaf house, which their very clan is called the plural of that noun. Perhaps Shariifka is your long lost Qureysh cousin, no? And as for history, read Prof. Max'ed Xaaji Mukhtaar's historical books and articles. It may shed you much light, not to mention the basics you forced me to explain plainly.

Miyaa i aflagaadeysay? Maya. Marka gaf jiro maleh, macalinka. Just wanted to correct the misconceptions masqueraded as facts that you've repeated, even if you protest and point out they were out of context. Irir and Samaale are political groupings and I have never met an individual who thought otherwise. Well, this is what you wrote earlier: "That the Sab are agro-culturists and Samaale pastorialists, that Samaal have similar cultural traditions and dialects that are mutually intelligible as opposed to the Sab should give you the clue." If they are also political 'groupings'that also validates some of my points of clans consisting federations. Clans came together exactly as a 'political groupings' to protect their interests. The only difference is, as I wrote earlier, today we know the recent mergers and can say so, while the old order ones when repeated continued all those centuries regard, to some sections, to as hard unquestioned facts. You are free to correct me on this anytime, but in the way I understand it, the clan "family" of the people who live in Bay, Bakool, and other southern areas is the only clan-family done on federation. This will take much time to explain, which I don't have the luxury to do now. A brief explanation, though. There were original clans, which most to this day are there. However, as they increasingly became settled and sedentary, away from the harsh lifestyle of nomadic, they also became organized in a unique and untested in their times. While all settling and starting to farm, some individual families, sub-sub-whole clans eventually settled with them from other clans. As they increased, became part of local culture, absorbed the local dialect, there needed to be some clarifications or else clan strife might be inevitable. So they were offered, after couple years of their settlement, the option of being part of an already existing clan in their respective region, supporting that clan's struggles, etc; however, they were told they can keep their original family or sub-clan names if they want. Some considered and thought it was a part of good deal, eventually accepting. Others said no, that they don't need what is today known as citizenship. It thus expanded. This was a unique idea, unheard in that time because it wasn't a grand coalition coming together and deciding to form an equal partnership, but because it was an individual cases in process. Eventually other large clans copied this idea. One such example is, if you know Liiqliiqato's clan (I don't want to mention), they are called hebel 'martiile.' That marti tells you something. The other example is 'Carabtii...' that reside in Bari. __________________ I guess there is a reason why so many tribes use "Hooyo" ama "Habar" as a unity instead of a "father" figure. I always wondered why the "Habar" or where is the "Father" for these nomads. Xoogsade, there is a reason behind why it is called abtirsi. Abti-tiris. Some might excuse, though, it is ab-tirsi or aw-tirsi, but the word is unambiguous enough

Salaan... The guy has some valid points. But even to see the good name of his spelled deliberately suggests the inclination of "Westernisation." It is Good, not Goth. Anyway, as I wrote, he definitely has some good points. We can't simply abandon and disregard what our forefathers and mothers practiced for a millenia, who weren't, to the contrary, that ignorant and knew what Islaam required. But they also knew the value of some cultural aspects shouldn't be eradicated. We didn't discover Islaam today. Some people discovered a sect of it and want to nationalize that mabda. Walaal shouldn't be changed to foreign words of 'ukhtii' or 'akhii,' as some would perceive speaking in Carabi is part of Islaam, as it sometimes happens today to self-doubters. Those same people openly advocate we should get rid of af Soomaali and change to Carabi. I had met some, believe me. I also believe there is no absolute difference between the garbasaaro our mothers wore and now the ubiquitous jilbaab some wadaado force girls as young as six that go to school. Max'ed Siyaad Barre righteously or not kept them at bay. Now they are out of the box, controlling most large companies, schools, universities, small businesses and even some of the media. It pained me when I saw our youngsters learning the history of Emirates, not single Soomaali subject is addressed, in some schools at Xamar, based on too ridiculously some other Carab curriculum. Same with other English-influenced schools. They seemed to me as though competing who erases the last shred of our culture. It also pains me today to see some famous schools named some of our national figures or national occasions changed to some obscure 'Abuu' and 'Bin' names. Same with those schools changed to "American" school or "International" this. Same with dukaamo and maqaayado and hoteelada. Unique restaurant-based names such as Maqaayada Lugabaxsi or Maqaayada Jilba Jabso would perhaps be today known as "Intertional House," if it had existed. It also pains me to see myself writing in English.

Samaal have similar cultural traditions and dialects that are mutually intelligible as opposed to the Sab should give you the clue. Ii sheeg, what are "similar cultural traditions" they differ from other clans groups than afka, which isn't that much indistinguishable either because af Banaadiri and afka loogu hadlo Shabeellada Dhexe is much more closer to Maay than "common" Soomaali. Oh, yeah, they are beeraleey, but half of them are geeljire too. Oh, yeah, they are 'sedentary.' Aren't other plenty clans sendentary as well? Sab and Samaale do not decide descents, its division is reminiscent of the American classification of white collar workers as opposed to blue collars. Horta, I don't believe Sab and Samaale thing. Quite frankly, most educated Soomaalis do not either. (The "Sab" label, by the way, I mean the clans that are said to belong this group, they don't believe such thing of their 'father figure' being Sab. They have their own ideas where they originated from, which I don't agree either.) It started a pure myth created by largely Orientalists of such days. And let's say if (and it is a very big if) I believed for a moment, what exactly does your analogy mean of 'blue collar' and 'white collar'--what does this comparison has to do with Sab and Samaale? Oh, one is elite? Oh, I see. Which one? There is another thing. Those you consider to be in "Sab" group, there are some clans who call themselves right after their clan names Samaale. They call themselves Hebel Samaale. What about those? Oh, those were "originally" from Samaale figure clan familias and joined the Sab, is that what you would think? Then that explains my grouping of alliance, which isn't confined to one clan. As for as I understand, there is only one Somali clan-family that grouped together and formed an alliance. That is the large clan-family of Bay and Bakool. That is what you think. Exactly. Most clans are truly by-product of federation. It is there, but most qabiil-worshippers are emotional when it comes to this and can't face it what they were imbibed to believe all those years are not only myth, but downright fairy. It isn't something as easy, I know, and only those who completely liberated the clan shirt themselves from can completely look down and understand it. A lot did, and a lot are coming to discover this nonsense. That is the large clan-family of Bay and Bakool. I hate to engage into qabiil trivia, even if we avoid naming them because we are using regions which is the same. One misconception some Soomaalis have is that the "clan-family" only live in Baay and Bakool. They aren't. They live half of Gedo, most of Shabeellada Hoose, a significant part of Jubbooyinka. Since it is a two part of family clan, only one section dominates Baay, Bakool and parts of Gedo, while the other never set a foot in this sections. The other, in fact, live in Shabeellada Hoose and Jubbooyinka. Together, they dominate towns as widely varied as Baraawe to Baardheere to Saakoow to Ceelbarde to Daafeed. There is a good reason behind why Afgooye town right next to Xamar is called af-gooye. I let you figure it out, and I am sure Afgooye isn't part of Baay and Bakool, is it? Irir has roots in early colonial-era Somali administrative history. Some people believed that one clan was in too much control of state apparat. Irir was proposed and advanced by a select group of known men (even some quite famous ones!), though I won't name names, to make political grap for power. It was ment to pitch All vs. One. Same like the Sab and Samaale. It is less subtle, but it is there still. Those never existed, and is as myth as that political Irir grouping. The only difference is Irir is a recent historical alliance, whereas others are said to be centuries old. PS, hada kahor waxaa tiri Shariifka is from "traditionally less-powerful clan, has broken clan taboos associated with the usual order of things." Shib baa lagaa yiri. Hadana another time waxaa tiri those same clans that reside much of South are, I quote, "inaysan Soomaali asal aheyn oo ay yahiin dad Soomaalized laga dhigay waagii Oromada dhulka laga kacinayay." Again shib ayaa lagaa yiri. Wali marka waa socotaa miyaa? Shib miyaa la iska ahaanaa? I had a hope that our brother wuu kala baran doonaa Soomaalida, and I still do, laakiin mar mar in lagu tusiyo dhabta ma xumo. (Af Maxaa Tiri heavily borrows from af Maay, including all those clan names. How can they "Soomaalinized" if Maay words are words themselves that are named most qabiil names that no longer exist in af Maxaa tiri? All those obscure qabiil some Soomaalis use are found still in af Maay. How is this possible? I, however, brother, thought you knew all this.) __________________ Caaqil/Viking: That was waxaan ka hadlaayi exactly. Qabiil is mostly based hearsays. If we only had many more who are enlightened about this, our country wouldn't have been in this dire situation.

Originally posted by Raqid: BTW what does Madhibaan itself mean? Seriously, even Somalis do not have one definition for them. I thought the name is self-explanatory. Ma dhibaan [those who bother no body], ma fahantay? It is fitting and appropriate.

Salaan... Introduced by Arab Sheikhs sometime around three hundred years after the birth of Islam in Arabia, groups of Somalis in a locality formed a confederacy to a particular sheikh who taught them Islam. They became his “Xer†commonly referred to as the “Xertii Sheekh Hebel†– The Religious Confederacy of Sheikh so and so. Given enough time, such confederacies developed into full blown tribes with their line of paternal ancestry adjusted to go back to the Sheikh himself and instead of "xerti Sheekh Hebel" it became “reer Hebelâ€. There is a simple prove for this: The average line of ancestry (abtiris) is 20 grandfathers to the Sheikh One idea we Soomaalis equally fail--or deliberately trying to subdue--to fathom is that all those large clans we find ourselves in today were never from one father figure, and thus they formed a united alliance in the last 700 years to combat other likewise amalgamating and emerging grand coalitions. It finally rested on four or five grand federated clans. Since then Soomaalis came up with fanciful and very mythical "father figures" that they descended from, which, to this day, can't be minimally comprehensible. Those nonsensical offshoots like Sab, Irir, Samaale, etc, are only something bordering a child's fairy tales, not what sensible people today would buy. Clans were/are political "alliance," whose destiny to survive was to form that alliance otherwise they would have been wiped from the face of competing "alliance" tribes, as it happened to some. Also we see today some of what I mentioned above finely in process. Those clans who opted out not to belong to a central, federated grand clan--we know what is happening to some of them. They were/are persecuted and harassed, called names and are mythogolized to descent from some God-knows-only people. There was a famous clan that today few Soomaalis can attest to hear it, but were powerful in their time. So powerful in fact they ruled a junk of what is Soomaaliya now and almost united the country, and are now almost are unheard of, save some few existing in there and here only by name. Today, we've some clans who are part-time within the "alliance" official clan, but sometimes bluntly opting out from the "alliance" when it doesn't help or suit their political ambitions. It almost happened at shirkii Carta, and again happened in shirkii Kenya. These clans, whom I don't want to indulge, can tell us a lot about how formed "alliance" worked and still working. It is in the interest of survival of fittest mentality that brought them together in order to survive in a harsh competing land populated by other large, similarly federated groups (clans) that with no indication try to invade their supposed territories. If we really look closer and investigate the history of these so-called large clans living today, we will know and won't be as obsessed to clans as we are now. I know it may come unexpected shock at first to some clan-worshippers, however, the reality is only the immediate clan members of your respective clans are family related, beyond that is jungle and unreliable.

Salaan... After the exception of Soomaaliya, it would be Svizzera. There is something about this country, which had never been to war, what, 200 years or so, I guess. It pratically gave the middle finger to all: UN, NATO, EU, Warsaw Pact, World Bank, IMF, etc. And of course Swiss banks, Swatch, perfect chocolates, the birth place of Red Crescent, etc. Geneva, here I am!

Salaan... Reer Mudug aren't all that bad, and sweeping statement regarding them would be injustice, if not prejudicial. I believe Marxuum C/rashiid Cali Sharmaarke hailed from that region, and, quite frankly, as a family friend he was to my old man, for what I gathered, he had had a trait very few Soomaali "politicians" can even dream about, let alone possess.

Madaxweynihii ugu horeeyey Jamhuuriyada Soomaaliya Aadan Cabdulle Cusmaan (Aadan Cadde) wuxuu ka mid ahaa Madaxweynayaashii soo marey Qaaradan Afrika kuwaada si weyn loo qadariyo, waxaana lagu xusuustaa Aadan Cadde sidii shariifka aheyd ee uu dagey Kursiga, iyadoo loo aqoonsadey Madaxweynihii ugu horeeyey ee Afrikaan ah oo si Dimuqraadi ah uga dega xilika Madaxweynenimada. If Soomaaliya can produce Aadan Cadde regardless of which era, I still have faith in our nation and people, particularly in a trying age of despair and hopelessness that is so palpable today. Eebe ha caafiyo our nation's father, Aadan Cadde. The only Soomaali siyaasi no body, ever, I heard say anything negative against how he ruled our nation for a seven formidable years. That itself says something about his personality.
