Hello Bleeeps !

Here are my reactions to the death of the”king of the kings”..

Gaddafi was a bad man in the sense that he was extravagantly spending money on stupid stuff; while there were people starving on other corners of the world. For instance, he once paid beyonce 2 million dollars cash for singing in one of his events. He was also famous for splashing money to the so called scout girls when on visit to western states.

Apart from this, the guy was not as bad as being depicted on the western media. It is hard to imagine that the guy we are told is corrupt and authoritarian has successfully managed Libya without any debt. It is also hard to imagine that the guy had budget for every person who was intending to marry; every marrying couple had the rights to benefits from the social office. These are just one of the good memories from Gaddafi`s regime.

Whether the guy was bad or good, that can be felt by the Libyans and the western states who were concerned about his affairs; for us, he is a leader who has had difficulties holding the balance between defending pride and holding diplomatic ties..

The west wanted him to be their puppet just like any other Arab leader; He said “NO”..Kudos for that Gaddafi..They fought him...They finally won..In this sense; he is a hero

The Libyans; just like the Iraqis, were brainwashed, tricked into murdering their aging president and left with broken country. We can all at least predict what will happen next; you remember Iraq! It will be exactly the same way but more complex politics than that.

The Americans and its allies are happy now, but one think that is obvious to all but unknown to the western states is this; this Arabic revolutions are breaking terrorists out of their jails and giving them the chance to lead these countries hence democracy-----------------------------Google what the Muslim brotherhood is composed of !

To sum it all, Muslims don’t need to worry about this, all these hullaballoo in the Middle East is happening for a good reason, and the same reason is why we should not worry.  They say “ you live by the gun and die by the gun. I would say “become a western lover or hater, you will end up dying a Saddam death or a Gaddafi one..

Cheers guys..

Gaddafi and Libya !

Weekend updates!

Generally it was a good weekend ! I hope u guys had a nice weekend as mine. The saturday started with fine showers that paved a good weather for the rest of the weekend; we are still enjoying the breeze left behind by it.
I went to a villages called khalija and Yabicho where i was assigned to mobilise and register older persons for registerations. We identified 200 older persons for destribution of food and non food items. My NGO was given the project by a bigger German  international organisation called  HELPAGE.
We returned home around 1 p.m.  Then i was involved in destributing donkeys and donkey carts to some pastoralist people..i assume u know why donkeys are needed..
since a local team had earlier requsted me if i could play for them, i felt that i was fit for the match which was between my team (Jungle boys) and everton..luckily we won on penalties after 2-2 draw. bearing in mind the fact that being the strongest team in town, i was proud to have recorded a win against them. the winning team won 2 dollars. Yes, 2 dollars. However, it was the rivalry and the integrity of the teams that the game was all about.
Now am awaiting the Manchester game;biggest game of the season..i am yet to see the team-talk..but i predict a win for united,,,i hope i am right this time..
Have a noce time guys !

in the registeration of the wazee..

The donkey destribution..

asalmu alkum bros n sistas

hello dear friends n families !

To start with; i am fine, healthier than ever ! i hope u guys are fine too.
Today, i was in a village called Ramu dimtu, i was there to register over 200 old people who were getting help from an organisation called Helpage..Helpage is a german organisation that helps old people in poor parts of the world. For more info. on helpage, google it :)
Kenya has been celebrating what is called Shujaa day: meaning heroes day; in rememberance of the those who fought for independence of Kenya. i did not celebrate because i dont see that as an achievement..Once u are colonised, i think it would be rather good trying to forget the embarassment than celebrating it.
Alshebaab!!! i will post an article on this some other time ,,bear with me..
The death of gadafi!!! i will post on this once i have comfirmed all the details..sory for keeping u wait..
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
For the first time, i enjoyed taking a ride through the countryside..it was green all over, children playing in water..animals enjoying the weather..
i will post pics and stories on this..am  now going to sit outside and chat with friends all night..one thing i like about these stories is the fact that, there are always funny things to be talked about..i might sometimes throw some of the jokes into my posts..:)
have  anice evening...cheers guys

This is how much fun the rain came with :)

Daaaaamn..am gonna miss this !

Its hard to recognise the place after the raining, i bet no ramonian knows exactly where the photo was taken..

Even donkeys are welcomed if only they dont cause disturbances..

Good times ! enjoy the pics

High-five for the rain-games :)

hello guys !

Good evening ! sory for not posting the pictures as promised earlier promised. the reason is that it has not rained yet, we just experienced lightnings around our town, but it can rain any moment.
If u guys are wondering why my postings are more about rains, this is the reason: 2 weeks ago we got a news that a young nomadic kid died because of lack of water..this made me think a lot, how could this happen in 2011? this also made me apreciate water more than ever..thats y i am on about rains..the other reason is that i have seen animals collapse coz of dehydration..
so please, bear with me; in return, i am showing my apreciation through this blog and running in the rains whenever it rains. This is a promise i made to myself when i saw the cruel drought`s impact on the pastoralists.
Allah bless ya all..good night.

Yet another monday, with new challenges!

First, i really appreaciate the reactions i have been getting from friends n families all over. I just wannna remind u guys that everything i write is dedicated to u, i want u guys to follow my ups and downs. i will be very spontaneous in my writtings and posts. It does not need to make sense sometimes because the posts are directly from the heart, so i will be focusing less on the grammar or language. so please, dont mind all the spelling mistakes i will be doing.
I know that many of u read my posts but are not members of the blog, so that i can plan what to post or not..i apreaciate your comments and registerations..with your contributions, this blog will be fun to read.

It has rained these morning ! alhamdulilah..it has been raining since friday hence the potpondment of all the ramu premier league matches. Abdiaziz bare was away with the camera; he was stuck in the muddy roads between banisa and malkamari. He just came in yesterday with Daengu fevers. He is doing good now only that he is a bit weak.
I am now waiting for some rains so that i can post pics of me and the sibblings running in the rains.
Cheers..i will be back to u later this evening..around 7 pm ramu time. peaceeee

Alshabaab wal basaas !

I just wanna tell u guys that am still in kenya..pretty much alive and kicking..dont be worried like my teachers because am a somali and somalis are killed not kidnapped..and Alshabaab are tired of killing somalis. They think its a waste of bullets by killing somalis; now they changed the tactic by taking hostages of rich white people. i mean why kill somalis when u can take hostages and get rich.
Advice for u who wants not to be kidnapped:
As my friend, abukar from Andersberg (u guy i suspect was a former al shebaab member) says that one trick is this: forget the macawis and take trosers!
trick no 2: If u have  a different dialekt than the local communities, play deaf
and finally, if u dont fit at all, play stupid..
Have a nice sunday!

What a weekend !

Hello guys !
Last night was a long night.My sister was delievering a baby and everything looked dark when the cervix could not open hence leaving C-section the only option to get that kid out.
After hours of struggle, alhamdulillah, the baby finally came out to this crazy world ! i actually was feeling nervous and scared of losing ma lovely sister that i am yet to meet since she was married. i was also feeling so sory  for mum who was beside her for the last few months untill delievery..and anyone would agree that mothers can get heart attack in such a process like the one of  last night..
To cut a long story short..am an uncle to a baby boy ! i feel so good actually :) and relieved that no one was hurt in the delievery process..
I am dedicating ma day to all sisters,mums,wives and all women at large ! Respect to women even those who dont deserve ! labour pain yoooooooo,,thats enough of a burden..

From dryness to wetness !

Hello bleeps!
I wanted to share the good news with everyone who was as concerned as me about the droughts in the horn of Afrika...
It has rained well on almost all the dry parts in kenya; am still to get reports from Somalia, but i believe that the weather pattern is the same as where i am ; Northern Kenya (from Garissa , wajir to mandera).

The buses that ply between cities in the northern regions are stuck in the muddy roads and are yet to come to the destined cities. Since Northern part of Kenya is under-developed infrastracturewise, the roads are bad hence unpassable during the rains.
Today, after waking up from my afternoon nap, i just changed clothes for the rains. together with my lil bros, i was running in the rains for almost an hour. this was the best feeling ever..partly because it brings back memories from childhood and because i now apreciate the rains after witnessing the cruelty of the drought during my work with the pastoralists..
Now, my weekend is already set; a good natural shower under the rains..tomorrow..united V Liverpool..Then as i was just told now; i am in the starting line-up against a local team..i play for Afya stars..what a weekend it will be if i score my first goal for the team :)
I wish everyone a very nice weekend !

TheRAIN has finally reached us ! alhamdulillah

In celebration of the coming of the long awaited rains, i ran in the rain (with my swimming clothings on ofcourse)..Now am sitting here, looking forward to tomorrow so that i hear stories of the rains. i will be sitting in our office and enjoy how the pastoralists flock into the office, this time giving us the reports of the rains instead of begging for help with water as is always the case. I promise to write more on this and try to publish more photos ! Ps: ma big bro is out on a filed visit (he works with drought victims), pray for his safe return since the roads are unpassable during these rainy periods.
Have a blessed time out there :)
