Top Ten Reasons Why the Awdal Convention in Minnesota was Just another joke.

In my opinion, Sanjaya has a better chance of winning American Idol than any one of those Elvis-impersonators having any impact on the Politics of Impoverished Awdal. For those of us who did not participate at the Bailey summit, we may not be dancing with the stars, but we will be jogging, jiving, chatting and jitterbugging between Mogadishu and Hargeisa.

“Ma hurdee dhul shishaan mushaaxaa, Hargeysa Iyo Muqdishaan ku maqanahay”.  I hope that the history of Awdal will treat the Hashi Abib brothers (my schoolmate, Abdillahi & Bros.) better for what they have done for the now one-eyed institution of Amoud.
