One step taken ahead to enable everyone else to understand the rich poetry and wisdom of Somalia. Thank you Abdinoor. I am interested in this book specially because I want to connect the family of YamYam to their original roots-POETRY! They are the kids of a great Somali poet who are growing up in the USA. This will keep them connected.
Thank you very much Abdinoor for producing this wonderful, but easy-to-read book.

Bro. Abdi-Noor, would be very interested in learning more about your book and the stories it tells through poetry in the form of a radio interview, (by way of internet). Sometimes I believe all of the world leaders should be poets. Then perhaps there would be more peace.
blessin's, will be reading more of your works posted here soon!

The Miracle Map (Article) - 10/19/2010 3:45:17 PM
The heart of a patriot carries the burdens of sorrow for opportunities of peace and unity lost. When a nation's esprit de corpse is hiding behind the fear of evil deeds answers to burning questions of resolution and the total commitment to attain absolute peace are lost in the aroma of cowardice. What mere man wishes to simply perish unnoticed in the flames of relevance when he has never tasted victory? Abdi-Noor, righteous resolution calls out to be embraced in the arms of a unified cause. Journeys to peace are arduous and consuming of humanity. It is therefore to those so engaged to determine the ultimate worth and thus the ultimate sacrifices. Let no man who is unwilling to sacrifice savor peace. Let no man who has sacrificed go without savoring peace. Love and peace to you my dear friend. Jon Michael

I have Three Questions (Article) - 6/12/2010 3:38:36 AM
Abdi-Noor, we both are keenly aware that today's media long ago abandoned the primary concept for its creation. To report the news,the facts, unbiased. That noble purpose was lost long ago to the power and influence of money. At that point in time wealth and power became the drivers for the media, humanitariann good was left in the dust of a simpler time. The media is now the tool of choice for any movement seeking to gain an advantage in shaping opinion. Truth is now merely an incidental by product of that process. As for who is in charge, hope that it is not the U.N. For what should have and could have been mankind's finest humanitarian gift to the world, the U.N. is an abject failure. Filled with corruption and the tool of the world's ultra rich seeking total world domination through lies and misinformation. May peace and love be always with you my friend. Jon Michael
I have Three Questions (Article) - 6/11/2010 11:46:48 AM
The US Pentagon set up Africom (African Command) a few years back to begin the official militarization of the African Continent. Somalia plays an important role because, as usual, it sits on top of oilfields, which some officials surmise may be as plentiful as those under Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Somalia's geopolitical position is important to the Anglo-American war machine because from there one can control the shipping coming in and out of the Gulf of Aden. Somalia belongs to Somalians. But, like most countries outside of the industrialized west, it will be manipulated by imperialist foreign powers to establish puppet governments who will then open up its resources for plundering by the trans-national criminal vulture cartel of corporate lunatics. They try different methods, most recently the CIA backed attempted coup by the Bush administration, which supported an alliance of Somali warlords known as the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) that established a base of operations in the western city of Baidoa. With the help of the Ethiopian army, western mercenaries, US Navy warships, and AC-130 gunships; the TFG captured Mogadishu and forced the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) to retreat to the south. Since then the resistance has coalesced into a tenacious guerrilla army that has recaptured most of the country. And so it goes on and on and through history. Tragic.

Dilemma of The African Immigrant in Europe: An Appeal to The EU (Article) - 12/12/2009 9:45:10 AM
Abdi-Noor my dear friend and emissary of peace, it is the root of the problem that must be addressed -- when exile is forced upon a people as the only solution to a national crisis -- countries willing to accept the immigrants are overloaded with the demands to their financial systems, health systems, religious orders and their very social structures -- the immigration crisis needs to be cured at the source, where the atrocities against the native inhabitants are being committed by ruthless men -- Somalia is the only place where the dilemma and crisis facing the Somali peoples can be resolved -- the perpetrators raping the land and the peoples must be extracted from their powers and punished for their crimes against humanity -- in the final analysis Somalia will be freed of this plague from within -- for if it is not, Somalia will always be on the verge of slavery to the next internal group that decides to take advantage of the Somali people -- my heart goes out to you and the Somali people -- someone must organize an internal resistance to fight the war lords and forever purge them from Somalia -- peace and love to you my friend -- Jon Michael

No matter what any vociferous mad crowd can say, there are around you more many that open their arms. The problem with the Silent Majority is that they keep silent so the world things that there is a unwelcoming.
And, like in Afghanistan, how can 20.000 hold hostage millions? Why don't all those millions clean the cancer among them once and for all?
We need also, worldwide, eradicate by all means Corruption, which are draining the blood of so many nations.

What Can We Tell This Child (Article) - 10/7/2009 1:29:14 AM
Probably we are between a rock and a hard place. If all the media suddenly stop reporting the Somalia going atrocities it would open the door to a silent genocide. If they continue reporting they are giving a voice to bestiality and a repugnant form of a religious movement that God shouldn't had allowed, because it is in His name.
If Somalia or Afghanistan are examples of Islam...we will have nothing to say to that child.

Somalia Since Black Hawk Down (Article) - 9/27/2009 1:36:29 AM
Abdi Noor, my friend, I can't but review this one of yours with a soldiers heart. Yes we could had resolved Somalia's troubles long ago.
But the politicians wanted different, pussyfooting around, not thinking about the Somali people but international renommé, always looking over their shoulders to hear what other are saying with disregard of what the innocent and suffering people of Somalia were saying.
Firemen are known to combat fire with fire, making corridors of burned land to stop big fires and let them die, period!
We capture extremist and immediately Human Rights jerks are on the streets claiming fault play. I would have been a military fireman, I would have stringed everyone of those terrorist by the first tree or lamppost, after a while will be few of them, because it is not a pretty sight to see a fellow hanging terrorist kicking the doors of hell.

The Perfection of Imperfection (Poetry) - 9/17/2023 3:23:23 PM
Perfection and imperfection co-exist:
Once upon a time, a farmer would wake up every morning to work on his farms. He worked very hard to sow the seeds. By the end of the day, he looked at what he had sown, and he was satisfied to see rows and rows of crops planted almost to perfection by his own hands. He thought all his farms were in perfect condition.
But when the farmer woke up the following morning, he was surprised to find one more row in each field that had not been worked on yet. The farmer immediately went to work again to fill those empty rows with the seeds to grow. At the same time, he thanked God for yet another row of land for him to develop his crops.
As time passed, he found more rows to seed, and his farms grew larger every day. The farmer would go to work immediately and was so happy to learn that there was always more room for his farms to plant new seeds. Every day, the farmer would work his farms to perfection, yet the following morning, he would always discover there was more room to grow, and he would thank God for granting him yet another row to produce new crops.
Perfection is only in the eyes of the beholders, and too much perfection is a mistake. We must always look for room to grow.
Sandie
The Perfection of Imperfection (Poetry) - 9/17/2023 2:13:01 PM
Ronald
I think by conclusion you mean these two lines:
Without a kingdom of perfection from above
There can be no imperfect subjects on earth
By believing in the imperfection, you are indirectly confessing the existence of the power of perfection which human beings cannot challenge with their imperfection. That power demands surrender from us. Believing in the imperfection while disbelieving the perfection is logically wrong. Those who deny it are rebels against justice. The kingdom of perfection is the reference point from which we draw the line of equlaity. One cannot say all human beings are equal without a reference that justifies his or her assumptions. When the foundation of equality is laid down, a sustainable social justice shall be born which is basically a pre-requisite condition to the attainment of peace at State level. Subsequently, the State could be run efficiently with the magic of democracy by using the rule of check and balance. Without that foundation of equality, there shall be no equation in place to balance what we have on either side of the State. Any democracy that has no link to the power of perfection is doomed to fail, and any State be it Islamic or otherwise, that has does not observe democracy in its functions is, too, doomed to fail. The only thing I see in this world is doom, nothing but doom. I am deaming the birth of a new world. Thank you my friend Roland Hull.
The Perfection of Imperfection (Poetry) - 9/17/2023 9:42:06 AM
A fine argument, but your conclusion may not be philosophically true.
I worked in the professional quality control. Back in the 1980 there was a slogan, Zero Defects. As someone familiar with data and statistics, I told an employer that zero defect was impossible to reach, and he didn't hire me because he wanted the employees of the company to believe they can achieve the impossible.
Hence it is with divine perfection. Why don't we human just realize we are and why we are here, natural selection by survival of the fittest. We know what is good and what is bad. Enhancing the good and eliminating the bad will get us better, but never perfect.

Horor in Mogadishu (Poetry) - 10/19/2017 7:38:09 AM
By your poem you have raised awareness. Here in the United States the bombing was a single line of news reporting amid the deadly fires in California, Las Vegas shooting and the hurricane destruction in Puerto Rico. All taking news time.
Americans have a bad taste in their mouth from what happened when a Black Hawk helicopter was shot down trying to assassinate a warlord many years ago now, in Mogadishu. The lawlessness in Somalia and the kidnapping of innocent sailors in international waters have all attributed to an attitude here that Somalia is a lost cause not worth the time and effort to save.
It is the hard work and perseverance of your own people to make right with everything including deadly terrorist attacks. These attacks are more prevalent in countries where you don't have adequate ways of detecting them will come. Even with all our intelligence abilities here in the United States, we haven't stopped all terrorist attacks from happening.

No Future Without a Past (Poetry) - 9/11/2016 10:52:24 AM
Genetically, you and your offspring will always be associated with Somalia. And, as long as you live you will always be faced with the duality of leaving your home and culture for a new one. However, children born in the new land have no such connection and readily assume the language and culture around them as they rapidly grow up. Within two generations, except for old writings, pictures, and now, videos of those times in those places, the older culture will be replaced by the new.
Most Americans identify themselves with this country they immigrated to rather than the countries of their ancestors. In this melting pot, we all call ourselves Americans.

Fear From Detention by Abdi Mahad (Poetry) - 4/15/2014 11:03:20 AM
A very moving poem. As I read I pictured the Gestapo coming down the hall to take another family off to the "final solution." I wonder when it will ever stop. When will people realize that Civil War solves nothing and creates tremendous problems for the people caught up in it. Not the least of which is being a nonentity in a foreign country where you can be used and abused because you are considered "nothing."
Having had dinner and chatting with a very fine Somali gentlemen in Cairo many years ago when your country was peaceful and a place fostering tourism, I feel for your people and their plight. I hope there is a way that you all can return to your homeland again and end this misery of separation and exploitation.

Integration Gaps (Poetry) - 4/13/2014 8:12:57 AM
It is a tremendous adjustment for immigrants, especially as drastic as your geographic and cultural change was. However, the next generation, if you have children, will assimilate quite well to all these things that seem to be so new to you. You have one thing in your favor. You have a wonderful command of the English language that many Swedes would only hope for.

Integration Gaps (Poetry) - 4/13/2014 7:13:43 AM
There is much to be said for all cultures and people.

seek peace, love, and understanding--a brighter future for
ourselves and for our posterity.
Integration Gaps (Poetry) - 4/12/2014 8:59:36 PM
Difficult changes to deal with, that is for sure. Sometimes we trade one kind of war for another and sometimes we trade liberty for security. Good luck with your transitioning, Abdi-Noor, I am glad you are now out of the line of fire.
Integration Gaps (Poetry) - 4/12/2014 1:53:33 PM
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." This quote from Theodore Roosevelt's interpretation of immigration is applicable to any nation that accepts legal immigration. To expect a host nation and it's natural citizens to acquiesce to the cultures of its immigrants is to discredit the host nation and its native culture.
"Immigration, like foreign policy, ought to be a place where the national interest comes first, last, and always."
– Barbara Jordan, 1995
So "Gaps" are correctly identifiable as cultural dissonance. It is impossible to hold two conflicting beliefs at the same time. Thus it is incumbent upon the new arrivals to a host nation to commit to a willingness to assimilate into the existing society of their new homeland.

War lacks the human touch ... well said Eagle of Hope ... shall we make war by outdoing ourselves with human kindness, water for water, food for food, a new twist on the old 'eye for eye' commandment ... ?

So true. No one knows better than your 90 year old folks. We have seen such changes to be pactically unbelievely. Life was so simple when we were young. Our generation is just about gone. Some are living to be l00 plus. May God bless the younger generation and keep them safe. They are living too fast. They must stop to catch their breath. 'lil flower

Somalis are indeed a beautiful people. I hope these young ones are able to move forward and someday help your country rebuild. I was fortunate to have a tenant that came from Liberia. She spent some time with her father in Minneapolis, but is here in Houston working in healthcare after catching up on her education because she lost six years running in Sierra Leone as a child.

Anger Breeds Anger (Poetry) - 12/23/2011 7:36:13 AM
Anger is an attitude that is born of fear, and in and of itself is neither good nor evil. It is how we choose to use that anger that is right or wrong. God gets angry but righteously angry. Teaching about anger needs to be balanced, or else people begin to erroneously think that it is always wrong to think, feel or express it.
Righteous anger that leads to good must be encouraged when people begin to allow evil to go unhindered. righteous anger is actually a manifestation of LOVE. The Creator says "Be angry and sin not" Jesus Christ warned us about being "angry without just cause" but not about "being angry". Sometimes it is good that anger breeds anger. if the alternative is indifference and toleration of wickedness. Good poem.

Dearest Abdi-noor,
Your prayers have been heard and many have rushed to your side to stand in accord for your beloved Huriya's successful surgery! Please count me as another, sent here by the LORD's faithful servant, Connie Faust, when she learned of your plight, and asked for prayer. I will also send it out to our incredible Prayer Team, of which, Connie is a vital member, and they will all lift her up before the LORD and intercede on her behalf.
But my prayer goes beyond the healing of her voice.. my prayer seeks the restoration of brother and sister.. into one place again.
The LORD keep you strong and safe, Eagle Of Hope
In Christ's Love, Rhonda

War and Terror is at our back door. Prayer, hope and love is keeping the peace. If and when that door is opened, there will be Hell to pay.

Peace sounds so much better than War.
Älmhult (Poetry) - 12/14/2011 2:45:20 AM
