A Somali mother is in Kampala looking for a UPDF soldier who she says fathered her four-month-old baby-boy. The 23-year-old Nino Omar Ibrahim
arrived five days ago after a one-week journey from war-torn Somalia.
The situation back home, she said, had forced her to search for the father of her son who was one of the 1,600 Ugandan peace-keepers deployed in Mogadishu.
“I met him when I took my father, Sheik Ibrahim Omar, for treatment at the AMISOM hospital in Mogadishu,†said the frail-looking Nino.
While she searches for the soldier, Nino has taken refuge in Kisenyi, the Kampala slum which has most Somali refugees.
“I love the father of my boy. All I need is to get in touch with him for assistance. I need him that is why I came. My child is a Ugandan but I feared being
killed due to this act. I am safer here,†she said.
Under Islamic law, which operates in some parts of Somalia, a woman may be killed for having sex out of wedlock.

This is the problems when Halimos and Bantus cohabit and breed causes in back home = unwanted babies.

Somaliland: Press release
As member of the Swedish parliament, I am delighted to send best wishes to the people of Somaliland as you celebrate your 22nd independence day this May 18.
Over the past years, progress has been made toward stability and good governance. Free and fair elections have been held.
Since 2000, five national elections were held, judged by international experts as free and fair, which have seen power transferred peacefully. Somaliland is still treated officially by international organizations as an autonomous region of Somalia, but this ignores both history and reality in the ground.
Hence it is time for the International Community to recognize Somaliland. Independent Somaliland will contribute peace and stability in a region characterized by war and unrest.
On this special day, I extend our warmest wishes to the people of Somaliland.
Amir Adan

I am surprised too...his only equal is one who is as primitive as he is. To marry a foreign wife you have to shed all of this nonsense be open minded etc. Otherwise your marriage will end in divorce. I remember reading on the net a while back these sisters {converts} discussing their husbands clans, each one kept stressing how their husbands hailed from an arab! Fairytaleskii baalaga dhaadhiciyey and the arab connection was the only source of faan. Very weird.FAH1223 wrote:I find it funny this kid Ducaysane is stressing about the Somali-ness of kids in interracial marriages yet... he is a clannist himself and engages in this useless banter all the time.
