Welcome Message

Welcome... this blog will house all the somali-written (As in the person being somali... not the language... see the problem with having both the language and the people being called by the same name? I propose 'Somalian' for the people.. :D) blogs around the globe. There is only one criterion to being linked - you must hail from or have roots in the horn (Somalia, Somaliland).

The aim of this blog is to create a resource of somali blogs. Several times a month we will highlight a blog of choice. The post will include a slight synopsis of what the blog is about and of course if we know a little about the author we will highlight key points of what their aim of blogging is and how they got into the 'bloggin scene'. We would really appreciate any help we receive and of course co-operation of our fellow bloggers. Inshallah this will be a wonderful endeavor for both the reader and us.

If you are a somali blogger, please leave us a comment on this post and let us know where your blog is so we can link you.

Hussein,
Trust me there is no cynicism involved. I apologize for our obvious oversight but don't be quick to jump down the rabbit hole next time. No more Malarkeys from us ;)

Dahab said...

I'm Somali, and I have a blog albeit not that great and thought provoking as all the other ones I've read so far, but have a read and see if you can add me.

SleepDepraved said...

You are added Dahab. I did go through your blog and for some reason the somali headed post threw me off. I assumed they were written in somali but upon looking closer they were written in English.

**Welcome to our somali blogging community**

SleepDepraved said...

Done dear man. Hope you use your blog to give us a glimpse at who is behind the name geeljire.

Flower.of.Chaos said...

Welcome Amazing Nomad. You've been added. Feel right at home and we look forward to reading your thoughts.

Ever The Idealist said...

salam my people, i just came across this site and wondered how you find out some is somali? you seem to have my friends on here but not me? why is this? do you wana check out my blog and see if it's good enough to be added dude? is this run by a team otr just you sleepdepraved?

SleepDepraved said...

It is run by a team. FOC seems to have added you. I am AWOL at the moment due to summer and change in my life. I do apologize and FOC, I hope to be back in the game in a couple weeks or so. You seem to be fairing well though. Great work.

About your question on how we know if one is somali. I guess we read and discuss. Most of the time there is something within their writing that identifies them or it might be the circle of commentators that frequent their blogs. Either way you are welcome and if you have more friends, let us know and we can add them.

What type of persons in the name of Sharia stones another human a mother a sister.The 50 men who took part in that barbaric act of stoning the 23yr old lady should have their hands and a leg amputated without mercy.Not even wild animals behave this way. I am a black West Indian of African descent and I guess you will not publish my comments.You can email me and curse me....

Greetings of peace :-)

You guys are doing wonderful job by helping other Somali bloggers connect with their likes. Thanks.

Could you kindly add "Somalia- The Nation of poets" on the list as well. The blog is merely about connecting Somali poets/writers with their like and celebrate the beauty of our culture.
