Of the five or six Somalis attending are a bit (and i am being very kind here) mature for that - but you never know with our Imaan and his in law getting in to finger pointing match. You never know and I wouldn't be surprised

[Che -Guevara]

loool@our Imaan,,yes, you never know.

[Blessed]

I don't expect much, it's just a brainstorming session in my view. I'm hoping that the need for reaching out to the Somali grass roots will take prominence .. and not to see a repeat of last weeks BS qabiil bashing.
