About that plate of food you did not finish eating.

About that extra long shower.

About leaving the water tap running excessively while doing wuudu.


I never put more than what I can eat on my plate, return the dish back to the waiter if the food is too much. I conserve water.

Just when you think things are not great, you just need not to look far before you realize how blessed you are.



Food for thought.

Something to think about.

When your people have been hit with a drought you suddenly wake up. Better late than never I suppose.

True, i use to see drought appeal on telly and even though it i use to sympathy I never feel the way I feel these days, tears rush to my eyes because the people I see are Somali.

To be honest I don't feel any different because I've become desensitized to Somali deaths. I read an article in my local newspaper about a biker being run over on a street I use and I felt absolutely shocked, and then I read an article in the New York Times about hundreds dying of starvation a day in Somalia and I barley had any reaction. Since the 1990s death and sorrow have become the norm in Somalia.

I don't have the power to help those people, and the Somalis in power don't seem interested in changing the status quo. I wish I could rewind my life to about 4 years ago when I didn't know a damn thing about the forsaken land of my fathers. Ignorance is bliss...

Nobody here expects any better of you union.

You're trying to hard.

This is how I think regularly, with or without drought in Somalia. It’s not only sensible thing to do but as economically wise as well.

Cali Gaab, please spare us your disingenuous comments. I may feel desensitized to Somali deaths, but you're the one who said he supports the man actively starving the people.

Quote me.

Anigu I would like to understand how a group like al shabaab can enjoy the support of the people in certain areas . What do they bring to the table ? had the people in those areas have it so bad that actually al shabaab is considered as an upgrade , like something that improves their daily life ?

My view is that i only support al-shabaab beacuse our Boy the GREAT AMIR GODANE XAAFIDULA is the head man, and since he is our boy he has my full support. Since i am a ISAAQ NAZI i personally support any ISAAQ person wether they are right or wrong. they day he leaves al-shabaab or dies is when my Support dies, untill then i will contunie to support the alshabaab.
i dont care about people fleeing and wars and burning houses, or bombing even our lands waa caadi. my only concern is that the guy is A TRUE SOLDIER he went deep in the jungle and tamed the whole JUNGLE

You wrote these words on July 25th, well into the famine where this fellow Issaq Nazi of yours ordered the starvation of people. Will you recant your words, or will you shrink from them like the coward I know you to be?

Their lifes sucked really bad before al shanaan, ask Voltage about Kismaayo. He'll even admit that they made it a safe place, there's an al jazeera video where the people of Kismaayo were over the moon with this group. They could now make use of their mobile phones without getting robbed.

Union, nice try but I never wrote that.

Dear Abdiwahab,
The questions you raised have been debated and discussed for decades if not centuries. I see no reason why I should limit my consumption simply because someone else is suffering. However, I appreciate what I have and if anything I am reminded that I need to help others.

From a personal point of view, the draught in the horn has profoundly affected me: I have nightmares and can hardly sleep, eat or think because my brethren somalis are suffering.

Many of the victims of this draught are people who are weak. Whilst warlords, wahabi lords, TFG, the herpes infected frequent flyer president, and numerous traders are filling their coffers, subsistance farmers, nomads and the have nots have become victims of war , corruption and draught.

As a diaspora somali the only thing we can do is to raise funds and fight against the al-sheydhans and the TFG (total farce government) and the incompetent leadership
