We had better get along
Together we'll be so strong
People just got to hold on
United we can't go wrong

United we stand
Divided we fall
United we stand
Divided we fall
We won't fall!

The D-block(Dhuloz) will be there to wreck havoc in this Somaliland gathering. Watch out it will end in a mess!. I will not got there btw.

this is what an Idoor poet said about the HUUSH IN 1989.


Ha go'doonto Gudabiirsidii Ganafka jeexnayde
Ha la guurto gaajiyo baryiyo gelelefkeediiye
Dameerkii Gafuurrada caddaa Geela yuu didinne

Meeshay gabbood moodayaan haw gurguriyeene
Goonyaha Ilaahay halkay garan ha aadeene
Gob baa lala dersaa waa wixii gaday abaalkiiye

Gallad kagama helin reer Xareed gacan ku hayntiiye
Gabdhii loo dhisiyo may xurmayn guurki reeraha'e
Geyiga reer Isaaq uguma hadhin Gob ay midhaystaane

Ciisuhu Gunnuu siin jiree ha iska gooyeene
Amxaarada inay soo galaan waa ka garanuuge
Garaad-xumadu waa waxay cidlada ula gandoodaane

Gogti iyo Shar-laga-naadi bay gebi dhacaayaane
Waa waxay la goobyaalayaan Goraya-Cawlaaye
Waa loo gartee hays tubeen goobta ciilka lehe

Marreexaan bays urursatee gacal ha moodeene
Iyaga iyo Gabooyahaba waa galabsigoodiiye
Guryaha ay Mafiiqda u siteen yaanay soo geline

Geestay xigeen Laydh san baa iiga soo geliye
Guu-gaa'da haygala tageen garacdi shaydaane

King Awdal,
The Minneapolis Convention center is in Downtown Minneapolis close the second Best Somali restaurent Safari. Make sure you stop by and eat some good good out there. Its owned by two Marexaan brothers. You will see a lot of girls, expecially on the weekends.

If its in Four Point Hotel, Its up north off Highway 35W and Industrail Blvd, and Its about Five Min drive from Convention cener. If go there, stop by East Village Restaurent(als known as Indian Ocean) Its Owned by Reer Mahad and Its the best Restuarent in Minneapolis
