JFK

2012-08-11T18:53:00.000-07:00

This quote of JFK had caught my attention considering the situation the US is in right now. How did we ignored history so quickly? Let it alone the war we are already in Republican Presidential candidate are advocating more wars in where here JFK is saying "we don't start war" rather we are peace maker, but I think the situation had changed. It seems as if we don't even learn history. "The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough — more than enough — of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success."
- John F. Kennedy-
Are this quote of JFK still stand true?

The colors of the flags are mostly Red, Yellow/gold and green which are the colors of Pan-African and blue color of any the proposed flag represents the Sky and Indian Ocean, the Star represents unity and crescent moon represents for Islam and the the green and that also represnts the natural wealth of the land and red also represents the bloodshed of the civilians and soldiers during the fight for independence and the civil war. The yellow/gold represents brighter future of the Somalia and the bravery and courage of the people. Each flag is unique on its own way. With due respect to the current flag, thoese proposed flags represent the Somalis. Please VOTE VOTE VOTE for your favorite one so that I can forward to the Somalian Government.

Israel/Palestine Border dispute

2011-05-19T19:16:00.000-07:00

I could not agree more on the decision tooking by the three South American countries. I think it is the right decision and I don't think there will be any peace proposed by Israel will work on the Palestinian people. I hope UN will make its decision as soon as possible before more civilian gets killed. I hope US public will understand and see what Israel is doing to Palestine totally wrong and they have breached many international laws which they haven't been prosecuted for. If Israel says that such a state should only be recognized with Israeli approval, it means that Israel views Palestine as a colony of Israel. They have been many peace talks between Israel and Palestine but none of them worked included recently one which was proposed by the US official and yet neither that one worked. Now when the Israel prime Minister proposes another peace talk which does not include and not want to recognize the 1967 border line how does he think this one will work and they [Israeli government] are not stopping the construction of more building in the occupied area. I hope the International community takes the same steps as tooking by Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay.

Schools

2011-02-18T21:23:00.000-08:00

Those days seems like children don't have to take any responsibility of their action. This is not just for school but everything else. I have heard from the news that a teacher has been fired due to assault with a student and another is administrative paid suspended simple telling the truth. This are just the recent to mention and its unacceptable. Who should we trust, the students or the teachers. If today a students fails they blame on the teacher of not doing enough but how about the student, did she/he did enough. To be honest, I don't think that teacher should been fired, because the student is asked to leave the classroom and it may have seem that he refused to do that. I don't know the whole story but as I hear him speak on the news and heard both of their side. It is the student to blame the whole thing because he shouldn't be in the class on the first and disturbing while other learn and secondly when a teacher asks you to leave the classroom you leave respectful. For the other one, the administration are telling a teachers to tell a lie. They are blackmailing the teachers, telling them don't tell the truth or otherwise your job is in jeopardy. They are breaching the first amendment of the person. I am a student of myself but my failure shouldn't be hold responsible on the teacher. The teacher can only teach me and its me who have to take the right action. I am not saying I am a good student, I had my upsides and down in school that are not extreme but that shouldn't be blamed on the teacher. Its time us the student to hold accountable on our success in school not teachers nor parents, because parents and teachers can only encourage us and its us to decide which road to take...I will be studying more on this issue, more blogs to come about school...

Somaliland & Puntland

2011-02-09T17:10:00.000-08:00

Sourced have said that 87 people died the clashes between Puntland and Somaliland. How long does this is going to contiune??? Is this going to be a new civil in Somalia while our weak government is trying to get out of it with current civil war. Those two regions I thought they were the safest place in Somalia but they both start to fight over for a land boundaries which technically is not recognized international. If those contiune to fight then Somalia is far from peace and stability. It is 20 years for crying out loud how more are we going to wait. Obviously Puntland and Somaliland don't want give hand to the Somali government since they have an army and worst of all one is trying to live the union. This is beyond to hard to believe, come on Somalis enough is enough already.

Al-Shabab

2011-02-09T06:06:00.000-08:00

Al-shabab time is over, you have already caused enough disaster to the country to the people. How long are you going to keep fight. you are not helping the Somalis but hurting. How can kill fellow Muslim kill another Muslim and yet call yourself the orthodox Muslim. Don't make me judge your faith because I am not sin as you are. You are taking advantage of the weak government but your time will soon be over.

Three more Years

2011-02-09T05:58:00.000-08:00

Currently the Transitional Federal parliament of Somalia voted to extend their mandate term to three more years. Its unbelievable, how long do we have to wait until have our peace back. This is slap on the face of Somalia people. Until our parliament is divide there is going to be no work. It is like they believe in themselves, August is not yet here and they already decide their failure. It is time to wake my Somalis and the matter on our hand.

History

Before the Arab Slave Trade, there were believed to be some Bantus already lived in Somalia. Those that lived there already come from west Africa during the Bantu Expansion. As things start to get busy in Indian Ocean the Arabs start to look for African slaves. The Bantus were taking away from nowadays, Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi to be sold at the Zanzibar slave trade market. They are from the ethnic group of Majindo, Mnyasa, Makua, Myoa and Mushunguli. After they been brought to Somalia, they were forced to work on the Plantations. In the mids 1800th hundred some Bantus start to escape slave and settle in the Jubba Valley. Even though during the colonial period, the Italian abolished slavery, the Bantus were still looked down and faced harsh discrimination over the dominant Somali clans. The Italian viewed the Somalis as the superior race in Somali and therefore continued to force labor on the Bantus.

Language

Most of the Bantus modern day speak the Somali language but some keep it their native language such as Mushunguli and most of Bantus speak the Af Maay-Maay dialect of the Somali language. The Maay-Maay dialect that is spoken by the Bantus is quite different then Af Maxaa (mahaa) that is is spoken by the Somalis. Almost all of the Bantus converted to Islam in order to escape slave and they still practice their ancestral animist traditions, including the practice of possession dances and the use of magic and curses. The Bantus and Somalis don't associate with each other. Intermarriage is also rare.

Physical Appearance

The Bantus and Somalis can be distinguished in many ways. The Somalis have soft hair, which they called themselves Jilac (soft Hair) and the have kinkier hair, which they call the Somali Bantus Jareer to distinguish themselves. The Bantus darker and more muscular then the Somalis.
