From the Darwishes to the SNM to the SSDF to the USC to the UIC to the TFG to the Al-shabab etc ALL of the events that took place on any Somali soil should be taught.

The former Siad Bare regime tried to teach people a distorted history and hiding sources especially from the made up books of Aw Cisse Cumar Jamac. Which is why Somalis will not trust other Somalis to try and brainwash their youth with fake distorted history from other tribes.

Look at the irony. Isn't that what you're trying to do, mate?

Tell me anything you could be proud of, aside from SNM, whom were supported by Mengistu and used the SNM chairmans like his Mistresses.

I'm Dhulbahante and a Wadani and I don't give a shit about the Mad Mullah. He can rot in Hell, for all I care. However, what he has composed in his poems about certain clans is very true indeed. The focker was a good analyzer.

No your not! You are whatever your husband is. In other words, women don't have qabil yarey so caadi iska dhig.

Just because you have been transformed into a housewife, doesn't mean I will surely be in your footsteps. I'm a man and not a Homosexual like you, carrying a Homosexual club named 934.

Three hundred Mogadishu University-educated students attended a book event. They were shown two historical pictures; the potraits of:

(1) the indian leader, Mahatma Gandhi and (2) Maxamed Cabdulle Xassan (the sayid)

Ninety percent of the participants recongised Mahatma Ghandi and only 1 individual recognised the potrait of Maxamed Cabdulle Xassan.

What a sad state of affairs...

It's like an Iraqi Sunni asking a kurd or a shite " how come you don't know or glorify Saddam Hussein-the liberator of Iraq"

Dardaraan by the Great Sayid.


Nimanyahow damiinnimada waa lagu dulloobaaye,

Nin ragay dardaaran u tahaye doqon ha moogaado,

Dawo lagama helo gaal haddaad daawo dhigataane,

Waa idin dagaayaa kufriga aad u debcaysaane,

Dirhankuu idiin qubahayaad dib u go'aysaane,

Marka hore dabkuu idinka dhigi dumar sidiisiiye,

Marka xigana dabaqadda yuu idin dareensiine,

Marka xiga dalkuu idinku oran duunyo dhaafsada e',

Marka xiga dushuu idinka rari sida dameeraade,
